Perhaps the reason I felt like crying was not just the warmth in his voice, but the words that he spoke… "It is okay, child; you are safe."
Nobody had said that to me in a hundred deaths, and I knew that this was a lie, the enemies were too powerful and too many for me ever to be safe, but there was a sense of relief that filled my soul, for once, I think I did not want to fight alone. It has been… tiring.
Still, I held back my tears, because this was the absolute wrong place for this to happen, and whatever was to come, I needed to absolutely be on my best game.
Whatever distractions in my head were pushed aside, and I looked at the titans before me, and there was a severe dissonance in what my eyes and my senses were seeing and feeling at the same time.
