After Sam killed Gaius the Wolfman, they finally left Praya. Back on the long road they traveled, stopping only for resting and hunting for food.
“Sam, you have to show me your powers again. I want to see how you do it.”
“Do what Lily?”
“You know, make your eyes glow white. Then your strength and speed heightens greatly.”
“I don’t know why it happens Lily, it just does.”
“Well, make sure you can do it when I need you.”
They were getting closer to Greece, but still had a ways to go. The two had saw a man, standing in the open road. He was waiting for the two to approach him. This mysterious man was also a red head, like Liliana. He no shirt on, which put emphasis on his disabilities. He didn’t have any arms, I wondered If he was a threat.
“Are you okay sir, do you need any assistance?” Sam asked.
“No my friend, you are the reason I am alive. Samwell, the boy who escaped Lazarius and his pet The Cannibal. The Hooded Man has hired me to take your life, and bring it to him. Will you come along nicely and save me the hassle of cutting your limbs off, do this for yourself. I do not wish to fight, it brings me great pains, pains I will endure if I have too.”
“He’s not coming with you, we have somewhere to be. Now if you’ll get out of our way, we won’t have to hurt you.”
“Oh, it pains me that nobody ever chooses the easy way out and accepts Death. So be it....
If you will not come alive, you will have to be carried lifeless.”
The man started to shout in agony, “OH, THE CREATOR! WHY DID YOU FORGE ME IN THIS HORRIFIC WAY. AHHHHH!”
While the man was screaming, two large blades came shooting out of his seemingly harmful limbs.
“Oh the pain is unbearable, you must accept pain in order to embrace it. Thats what makes men out of mice.”
The man approached Liliana first, walking slowly toward her. She took out both swords and lunged at the man. The next few minutes, the sounds of metal clinging and screams of agony filled the open road. I could tell Liliana wanted to beat this guy, her ego was bigger than the average man’s. She dodged and ducked at each attempt the man made against her life. Sam just stood and admired the battle and will Liliana was exerting.
“Take this!” She shouted. Her blade had pierced the man’s chest and he had fallen to his knees.
“Oh you have beaten me, I hoped you listened to me. You will want to embrace the pain, you can’t outrun it. Believe me, I have tried. Until I stopped and accepted it, I didn’t know who I was. I don’t have that problem anymore. When you see my brother again, tell him to stop shouting and embrace it. You will see him soon, don’t forget.”
He fell to the ground while muttering out his last words in a faint whisper, “Thank you.”
