Chapter 2 - Green Pair Of Eyes

Why do I keep recalling everything? Did they even happen? Did they really happen? It just keeps replaying like a stage drama in my head; word for word.....blood for blood... everything... especially.....

*Crackling of fire, blade shrieking through flesh*

[...]: Help.....Help me.....Help...me...please... I'm dying....

..... Especially then....at that moment....Even if every other thing could not be erased...I cannot stand that one in particular. ...She was begging,.... calling for me....but I couldn't budge... I couldn't move....a pure coward....a scrawny weak bastard. Why do I even deserve to live? Why didn't I just die?

Hosiah: Jared? Hey, are you all right?

Jared: It will all end....

( Hosiah is startled by his sudden tone of words, and gasped. )

Jared: The whole world.... everything....

Hosiah: Hey, what are you...

Jared: Flesh will be torn and burned to ashes...The heart of subjects will be the feast of kings..... Governments will fall....the blood of the innocent will flood the river banks and beyond....The remains of the dead will be crushed by the flames of eternity,...and the residence of man.....will be....consumed in eternat the flames.

Hosiah: Uh, hey. What are you saying? I don't understand.

Jared: Flesh will be torn and burned to ashes.....the heart of subjects will be the feast of kings...

(But he started repeating the same thing again, which scared Hosiah. The words didn't sound familiar, more of a prophecy or a spell maybe? It couldn't be far from any of those. Jared was the type to always dig into apocalyptic items and stories. Perhaps he was just dreaming, or telling one of his crazy stories as usual, he tried to assure himself.

But the way he spoke this time made him fear to the core for a normal situation. He drew himself back, spooked by how he keeps repeating the same thing over and over again. His breath hitched, and sweat pulsated his face like he was being baptized. On instinct, he carries himself up and ran out of the room. )

Hosiah:.....He was speaking really slowly, and -and - and he was looking really scary...he was - I was really scared.

(His voice was suddenly heard from outside, and then soon, he came in followed by a tall young man by his side. The young man wore an all black kimono, and carrying a bottle at his left waist. Hosiah ran inside and went over to Jared checking him with a worried look on his face. The young man calmly walks over to them and paused.

He stares at the boy's body for a moment with a calm almost expressionless face, before letting out a sigh. He then squats over him and pulls Hosiah back. He then straightened the hands of his kimono, and then, stared. He puts his two fingers in front of his face , then the other , at blinding speed, touched all the temples on Jared's body, and like a miracle, everywhere started glowing.

He opens his eyes and straightened himself. He stands up, and sighed. To the look of things, everywhere glowed but nothing moved. Time had frozen. Soon after, the image of the room starts peeling off, and it drifted to a pitch black setting, and at the corner, was a glowing figure. Then suddenly, the young man appeared in the scene flying on two talisman.

The figure's eyes shot open, and gasped. It looked around, and was immediately scared. )

Jared: (panting) Wha...Where am I? How did I get here?
