'am not going to die here,' Star thought.
Not now.
Not as a slave.
Not as a loser who has never accomplished something in his life.
Not after all the suffering.
Not after all the pain and betrayal.
Not.... Not after getting a chance to regain freedom.
Gathering every single...
Every bit of energy into his legs. He jumped and ran at the same time, closing in on the soldier at the front.
The soldier staggered and ran with his two feet unaware of what was going on behind him.
The soldier was running quite slow.
Star leaped forward, bent.
Diving under the foot of the soldier.
HE KICKED.
Knocking the soldier off the ground.
"Aaaahhhh!"
The soldier stumbled and fell, his scream buried under the cacophony of distant cries.
Star stumbled and almost fell before making a 180 degree turn, steadying his feet, he ran.
*Cries*
*Cries*
*Cries*
The demonic wolf approached the soldier on the ground.
*Bite*
The demonic wolf bit down the soldier's leg.
"AAARRRGGHHHHHH!!!!!"
The soldier screamed with all his might. The soldier began crying, snot and tears flowed down.
"Please have mercy, ahh, have mercy! Have mercy! Have merccccy..."
The soldier begged the demonic wolf.
Rrrrr!
The demonic wolf snarled.
The soldier began moving backwards, his eyes not leaving the demonic wolf.
He moves back with his back as the front. His uniform covered with dirt and blood.
"Help me!!!..."
"Ahhh..."
"Oh lord..."
Distant cries could be heard.
The demonic wolf approaches the soldier further, the demonic wolf pinches soldier with its paw, thereby putting him down in one place.
With the soldier no longer able to move, the demonic wolf dives down its head in order to deliver the finishing blow at the neck of the soldier.
Snap!
Before the demonic wolf could snap his neck, the soldier drove his two hands at upper and lower jaw of the demonic wolf, thereby stopping it from snapping off his neck.
Some of the demonic wolf's canines drove into his palms.
Huge amount of blood flowed down his hands.
He had stopped the demonic wolf temporary.
Growwwl.
The demonic wolf kept growling, looking down at its pathetic meal.
Blood red saliva flowed from the terrifying creatures mouth, trickling down to the face of the soldier under its feet.
The soldier turned his head at the side.
At this point, Star had already made a turn to one of the housing of the black Temple which was already destroyed by the pack of demonic wolves.
He changed direction, no longer following the crowd. It was too dangerous, someone might decide to use you as a sacrifice.
As he ran, he could still hear the soldier's screams.
"No! I can't die."
"Am not suppose to die!!! Am not suppose to die!!! Am not suppose to die!!! Am not suppose to die!!! Aaahhh!!! Somebody please help me!!!"
SNAP!!
Star heard a sharp snap sound.
'i guess the time the guard bought for me is officially over. Don't worry, your sacrifice will be remembered.'
It wouldn't be long before the wolf or other demonic wolves come looking for me.
With that thought in mind.
Star began making a run for it, stumbling over and over. But adrenaline kept pumping, keeping him going.
There was no place to hide, Star wasn't sure he wanted to hide. The demonic wolves were sweeping up all buildings.
His only way was to make it off the mountain or he will die.
He didn't want to die.
"Hahahaha."
Star suddenly laughed after recalling a verse from the book ⟨⟨Chronicles Of Sorros⟩⟩
"The end draws near the longer we stay."
(The word Sorros is pronounced "Sorrows")
.....
⟨⟨Chronicles Of Sorros⟩⟩ Chapter 1 section 2
Sorros looked down
We humans are so pitiful, we live everyday knowing that we would die.
We wake up everyday knowing that one day our eyes will close forever.
We all know that we would die, it was just a matter of when and yet.... we are still afraid.
Afraid of death.
We will die.
All of our loved ones will die.
We Humans live our miserable lives trying to forget this fact.
We try to be happy.
We try to live peacefully.
But remember....
Death will take us all.
With or without our consent.
The longer I live the more my life force fades away, until there is nothing left of it.
The end draws near the longer we stay.
.....
Star wasn't afraid of death, at least he thought he wasn't but he didn't want to die.
"Even the Great Ancestor Sorros succumbed to death."
*Stump*
*Stump*
*Stump*
Star ran with all the might left in him.
Many guards and slaves were scattered all around, noises and yells filled the atmosphere.
Debris littered the ground.
Every single drop of snow had evaporated to the point where dust filled the air, resulting to poor visibility.
There were cracks many cracks on the mountain grounds.
Star felt hot and his body were filled with sweat. Wiping out the sweat on the side of his head as he charged forward.
There were many people scattered around him, screaming.
"Shit! Shit! Shit!"
"Aaahhh!"
"Wait! Wait! Wait..."
Star remained vigilant, as he searched for a route of escape. With the dust everywhere it was quite difficult and it was already difficult before.
"AAAWWWOOOO!!!"
'shit! Another one.'
Star already began rushing towards a slave when suddenly...
His body was lifted up and thrown.
