Finding the Sacred Tree

The adventure begins part 10

I clasped the paper tightly and then I punched the wall in front of me until it cracked.

"WICKS..!" I screamed loudly, but no one cared about my screams.

after shouting out loud, I immediately dropped my knee and my body immediately went limp for a moment.

"Why don't you wait for me, Vivi? Why...? Though I thought I could still save someone, even if it was just you, but it turns out I didn't manage to save you either." I started to shed my tears.

"I'm here alone, Vivi. I need a friend, I need a family, I need a hug, and you're the only one who fits into it."

"This pain is too great for me to hold Vivi alone, but on the other hand I don't want to know anyone anymore, because I'm afraid that she'll die in front of me again. What am I supposed to do, Vivi? What am I supposed to do now?"

When I was crying. I looked again at the knife that stuck in Vivi's stomach. There I thought of something and it wasn't a good thing.

I grabbed the knife and pulled it out of Vivi's stomach. After I unplugged, I looked at the knife for a long time as if planning something bad.

"I think I know how to end this pain." I also pointed the sharp part of the knife at my neck.

At first I hesitated and still thought about not killing myself. But the other side of me said that I should put an end to this pain.

With breath gasping. I closed my eyes and then slit my throat firmly.

My neck is slit and a lot of blood is coming out of my neck. I couldn't breathe at all and it hurt a lot in my neck. And somehow I felt relieved and happy when I killed myself. I feel the pain that continues to haunt my heart will go away and I will meet my friends again.

The longer, the more blurred my vision became and it began to darken. Then after 1 minute, I finally died. There was so much blood pooling in that place.My blood and Vivi's blood mixed into one and made a blood pool in that place.

When I die, I go back to the place where everything is dark and there is a white light on the other end. I want to walk there again and I want to go to that big tree again. But just walking one step, suddenly my step was stopped by someone who pulled my shirt and it turned out that person was a child that day.

He told me to squat down and put my door closer to his mouth. I just followed him and then I squatted and brought my face to his mouth.

When I was in front of his mouth. He whispered to me.

"Your mission is not finished, man."

"Huh?"

Suddenly there was another hole under me that made me fall again. When I fell the little girl spoke again.

"You can't reach death if you haven't completed your mission, man. So, finish it before you want to end your suffering."

"YYYYYY..."

I woke up again in the same place with my blood still on the floor. I checked my neck and the knife scratches disappeared.

"It's impossible!" I took the knife that fell on the ground and Slit my throat back and like before, I died and met the little girl back, but then I fell into the hole and came back to life.

"No way, Why..." I slit my throat again and came back to life again after a few seconds.

"I...." I killed myself again and came back to life.

"Can't die....?" I keep going and keep trying. But unfortunately I kept living.

When I wanted to slit my throat again, I finally realized that I could not die. That's why I dropped my knife and gave up on suicide again.

"Just be free, I can't die at all."

"Why should this be? Who's the girl? Is he a god or is he, an angel of life? Why didn't he let me die? What does that mean for mission?"

"No. It's all not important. More importantly, why did God make me suffer like this? Why does he always take away someone I love? And now why would I be stuck in this situation?"

"Because you're the one who's predestined!" Suddenly there was the voice of a man speaking behind me.

I turned around to see who it was. After turning around, I immediately became alert and prepared my sword.

"I'm his friend, Rick. I'm the one in charge of watching you."

"Rick's friend?" I lowered my sword.

"Right, I've been watching you from the start and I'm a little concerned about you, but that's your path. The path of the one who will become strong to save this world."

"Wait.you said, that you've been watching me from the beginning. Then why don't you help me. No. I mean, why don't you help, Vivi, Rika, Grandpa. Why don't you help them?"

"If that's the case, I'm sorry, because my only job is to keep an eye on you and I shouldn't interfere in your affairs."

"Just keep an eye on what you say! You're a puppet or a human, huh! How can you keep quiet when someone is arrested and wants to be raped by that bastard!"

"I'm sorry."

Then how can you just shut up when someone wants to be killed in front of you. Why don't you try to save them, why did you just let them die!?"

"I'm sorry."

"Why do you always apologize. Would you apologize for giving them back?"

"I'm sorry."

"Argh.....GODDAMN IT!" I kicked the wall until it cracked.

"I'm sorry, but I'm just following Rick's orders. He said I should just keep an eye on you and not help you at all."

"Why did he do that?"

"Since only he knows, which move could save us all from disaster." The man gave me the black book I left there.

I looked at the book and I instantly remembered when Rika was killed by a Cricket.

"Keep that book away from me."

"You have to accept it, not just this book, but your destiny." The man advanced even further to give the black book away.

"I know you've had a really bad day in a few days, but you know, Rick's suffered a lot more than you, and not just a few days, but years." He's getting ahead.

"Arghhh..It's fine that I received this book, but I still don't know whether to open it or not."

"It's okay, the important thing is that you accept it first. Then we better get out of here and take the woman." The man saw Vivi's body.

"Hum.you're right, but what about the woman who's here, are you just gonna let her go."

"If it's up to you. But remember, it's harder to keep 1 man than it is to kill a thousand."

"If it was me, maybe both of them were hard."

"So how, are you going to save them?"

"Even if I don't save my friends, but at least I can save them all."

"Okay.then take care of yourself. I'll go first."

"Hum..just relax I'll take care of this."

After that, the mysterious man quickly left.

When the man left, I immediately had the idea to save them all without getting hurt in the slightest and the trick was, killing all of his Crickets who were in this kingdom without remaining a bit.
