“My greatest treasure in the world, I failed my family!” the boy yelled.
“How?”
“I went to the river to get some fresh water, and when I came back, the whole town was in flames. I quickly ran to my house and saw my house burning, but when I got inside it was too late. I saw them lying on the ground, dead. Then the house collapsed, destroying everything inside. I barely made it out with just a wound on my leg. Why did you help me if am already dead inside?”
“Because it’s not your time yet.”
“It’s my time, I am already dead inside, and I have no strength to keep going; please kill me now.”
Then we heard a sound from the trees, and five warriors emerged from the shadows. “You give me the kid,” said one of the warriors.
“On whose orders, if I may ask,” I said.
“On order of the king of Argon, now we are to kill all of the children. Those who don’t get out of our way shall die with them!”
Two warriors quickly charged at me; I pulled two daggers from my back and stabbed both of them in the chest. Then I took out the daggers and sliced their throats. Then one by one they fell to the ground until one was left.
“Finally someone that puts on a fight,” said the warrior.
I quickly charged at him, but he punched my chest, breaking two of my ribs and then brought out his sword and chopped my hand. “Sorry, I spoke too soon, you’re just a weakling,” said the warrior. Then I made a reach for the dagger next to me and tossed it, stabbing him in the forehead. The boy quickly ran to help me.
“Go, kid, get out of here.”
“But I can’t,” said the kid.
“I am dying for you! If you don’t understand, this sacrifice, then you’re just a selfish child. Now run and don’t worry, I will give your regards to your parents in the high heavens.”
“Thank you.”
