Chapter 69 Martyr

People from region one were so shocked by the death of their presumed leader, who was killed mercilessly and suddenly.

They thought that Isiah was dead already when Rivok attempted to kill him, when in fact it was all an act, just like when he deceived them by pretending that was not using magic

Rivok's companions carried his corpse upon their shoulders; they took him away to bury him for the sake of his honor.

He was planning to lead them and show them the way to level up, when Isiah appeared like a monster and terminated his life .

By that, Isiah took away from them their leader only to give them a martyr.

They didn't care about Isiah when he fell again to the ground, they hurried to stab him twice just enough to kill him, then they walked away with sad and angry looks upon their faces.

Knowing his brother, they were supposed to be careful, however they were careless about how to treat his body .

They just left it there, in open-air for it to rot.

They were too consumed, too tired, exhausted of what was happening around them, they were already left out by the higher regions and also their fellow friends and families, even their holy king left them.

What Rivok said before he died gave them some strength, some hope, some light at the end of the road.

The fact that they were seeing him like that made them angry .

They were already without a leader, and when they thought they had one, he was murdered brutally leaving unfulfilled commands and wishes

Women were crying like crazy and old ladies were spreading melancholy all over the place.

Men were divided, some of them liked the idea of peace with Region two, and the other half that were agreeing with him felt confused.

When you believe in an idea and you place it in your mind and heart, it is difficult to detach it from your future plans.

Those were acting so angry so edgy, they wanted to execute his plan and for that they were ready to do anything

His followers were still shocked by Isiah's ability to practise magic and by his cruelty when he killed him.

In their mind Isiah was supposed to be sealed, and the fact that he could escape the ropes they summoned was very shocking.

The sealing spell was not made by mages from region one; it was something the higher region agreed on doing when they knew about his existence.

If it was for people from region one, they would have killed him and his family, they wanted Justice and for the whole family to be punished by what Lucas did in the past.

That's why they hated Isiah and the whole family, to them the higher regions pissed on their faces with that decision.

For years now they couldn't do s*** to relieve themselves of the pain of seeing him growing up normally.

Sure they fought with him, they tried to punish him physically too, they bullied him but never tried to kill him.

Like it was an unwritten rule in region one.

********

Ciel was now heading to the institution all by himself after the argument with Isiah.

He wasn't afraid of him, but he didn't like the way he treated his classmates.

He was trying to collect some food for a while before coming back and seeing Isiah strangling one of his classmates.

From the beginning he thought that Isiah didn't have so many powers to use magic on a daily basis, and that he avoided fighting or hunting animals.

He knew that he was different compared to everyone in this region.

He saw him studying and trying to practice magic all by himself, even asking him from time to time about his powers.

The air about him didn't feel like he was stronger or even a magic user.

At that moment Ciel panicked. He didn't know what to do or how to feel .

He was clueless about the whole situation, and the only thing he thought that would help was to push Isiah until his classmate ran away.

Isiah wasn't the type to hurt anyone, sure he just knew him and of course he didn't know much about him, but Isiah was someone kind in general, he even helped him when he ran away to be by himself.

He fed him, gave him shelter, gave him permission to accompany him, and he treated him nicely when he was in a very dark place.

'Of course, Isiah is not a bad person, he is a good person ' Ciel thought.

People were getting out of the institution when he reached that place. This didn't happen even once before, which was very unusual.

He waited for the last person to leave while he was hiding behind a tree, then he walked toward the institution with his little steps.

Something inside of him was compressing his chest, yet he tried to shake that feeling and continue to walk.

Just near the old huge gate there laid Isiah Motionless.

When Ciel noticed his body on the ground he ran toward him, and when he reached him he stood there looking at him from above, very confused.

His body was lying still with 3 holes on his chest. The blood was everywhere.

Ciel took away the sword immediately with tears in his eyes, and started to wake Isiah up so many times .

Isiah's face was very pale, his features were very relaxed and he had a smile on his face, not a very big smile, just a small one like he didn't feel any pain while being in the situation.

That moment Ciel took the sword from his chest, Isiah's body started to fade away.

It was similar to burned paper ashes blowing by wind, as if that sword was the only thing channeling him into this place.

"Don't Isiah ….don't go…. …don't fly away…don't leave me alone ….please come back…i am sorry …i will never do it again ".
