Shin nervously glanced around at he crowd as they continued chanting. He takes a few steps back as the man gets closer.
"I think you got the wrong person here. I didn't kill anyone-It couldn't be me," Shin pleaded still backing away.
Before he could realize it, the man lunged at him and tackled him onto the ground. The man tried to strangle Shin but he managed to shove his hands aside.
"You have the nerve to kill our families and lie to our faces. We know it was you, you're the only person here who can't control their magic,"
Shin paused and looked at the man. He had heard those words before.
"Mist-," the man cut Shin off with a fist to the jaw.
The man then began to wail blow after blow on Shin as the crowd cheers him on. The police don't intervene and choose to watch.
"Please stop I didn't kill anyone," Shin pleaded once more while desperately shielding himself.
The crowd paid no heed to his cries and continued to cheer. The man began hitting Shin harder and harder.
Shin could taste a metallic substance in his mouth. He pushed the man back and spat up blood.
His hands trembled as he touched the red liquid then bam! Shin grabbed the back of his head then to turned and was met by another fist.
The man positioned himself on top of Shin and continued his assault.
"You are no better than those bastard demons. Atleast they take accountability," the man yelled as he continued wailing on Shin.
I didn't kill anyone. I didn't kill anyone
Shin kept repeating to himself hoping it would end this sick twisted nightmare, but it didn't.
"What's the matter boy. No longer denying it now," the man said as he stopped.
Shin was drenched in blood. He glanced up at the man and stared into his disgust filled eyes.
"Do you have anything to say for yourself?" the man asked grabbing Shin by the hair.
In a feint voice Shin spoke, "I didn't kill anyone."
The man scoffed shaking his head, "wrong choice of words boy,"
He raised his hand as sparks of lightning emanated from it.
He brought it down hard on Shin, laying him flat on the ground. The man then raised his hand again and brought it down, over and over again.
"Kill that damn bastard", "Make him pay for what he did," the roared.
Shin tried blocking each attack but he was too weak to do so.
"I'm sorry mom," Shin murmured as he closed his eyes.
Each blow slowly striping him of his conscious.
A voice then called out to Shin,"don't forget to set your soul ablaze, and ignite."
Mom
Shin opened his eyes. They radiated with flames as they began to pour out of his body. The man stopped and tried to get off of Shin but it was too late.
Shin's body radiated with a brilliant light and flames poured out of him like a tsunami. Engulfing everything and everyone in it's path.
