"What are you planning to do now Honorus?!" I asked. He stopped, he looked back at me with a small smile like he always did before and said. "I don't know"

This was the answer I was hopping for. It's my turn now to show my brother that his sacrifice meant more to me than anyone else. I will do anything I can do to make my brother proud. I will show him that he mattered the most and will make sure that he never regrets giving me his life. I pulled out my sword "This is the place you die Honorus. I will take revenge for my brother. Don't die easily or won't have a meaning!"

He pulls out his sword sword slowly with wind passing by giving me goosebumps and says "Come, I won't go easy on you this time". What an arrogant old man, even in death. He really thinks he will scare me by saying that he won't go easy on me? That's adorable. After I kill him I will have to get rid of his body so he can't be found. I will hide this from Lyric and Lirit, I don't want them seeing this side of me. They don't have to suffer and break the peace in their minds because of me.

I charged at him, I was aiming straight to his neck, he deserves a painless fast death after all. I thrust my sword towards his neck. The moment I started running towards him he let go of his sword. I knew he wouldn't even fight. I am sorry brother, I guess I won't be able to avenge you in  a way that would satisfy you, but I am sure he wouldn't mind this. Honorus leans to the right and pushes my sword with his palm away from him. I was lost my balance and the sword dragged me forward. If I don't let go of the sword I will fall forward, it will be the end for me. I let go of my sword and dashed to keep a distance from him. I've never seem him fight like this before.

I said to him "So all the training you were just keeping me win didn't you? You're a smart old man after all" he replied "It's just the way my old master used to teach me". I was furious, he is clearly making fun of me, that old man is still looking down at me "What about the bear? You pretended to be in trouble so I come and save you" He laughs saying "I was just curious if my son could win a fight against a bear or not. I thought it was obvious a bear can't throw a person that far". I will make him pay for disrespecting me. He makes fun of me and thinks he is getting away with it? I will show him! 

He threw his sword to me "Here fight with this" while he didn't even use a sword. I lost my temper, I took the sword and ran towards him just like the previous time. I realized it too late that my attack was too easy to read. He grabbed my hands that held the sword and kicked me in the stomach using his knees. The power that old man had was different. It may have even been stronger than Dolos's strength. I fell to the ground in defeat. My father won't kill me after all right? He will just leave in peace. Which was really what happened. He looked behind me first for some reason, and then looked at me and said "Well this is farewell son". I couldn't say I wasn't happy from the outcome of this battle.

An arrow flying coming from behind me pierces Honorus's neck. I was shocked. Just as all of this was going to end. His blood flew everywhere. It covered my whole body. I couldn't move, I was once again scared to see who did this. Eventually I heard a voice say "And farewell, old friend". I didn't know who it was I couldn't see what was happening and my ears could barely hear the voice.

After what seemed to me like a minute, I got up, it was Dolos. He looked serious. I shouldn't have been surprised, after all who else could throw such an accurate arrow. "Is this Honorus you told me about?" Dolos asked "Yes... yes it was". He sighed. It wasn't relief. I could tell he didn't like what happened.

"Clean the mess I will come back tomorrow, I have work to do now. Stay here and don't go back to your old home until I come back" He says before he leaves in a rush. I've never seen Dolos so serious before. Let alone being in a rush. I wonder where he is going. 

I was stuck here cleaning up the body of the man who once was my father, the man who took care of me and allowed me to live. But I couldn't forget the horrible things he did to my brother too. I didn't know how to feel. Feeling sad felt wrong. Feeling happy also felt wrong. I just kept cleaning up the blood, praying that no one from the school sees me. Eventually I finished and did like Dolos asked me to do, I entered the school.

I found Lyric and Lirit at our room, I almost forgot that there are people who still smile like this when they see me. I sat with them. It wasn't long before I forgot about everything that happened there because of them. We kept talking all day.

They introduced me to most people in their school. I am surprised how everyone knows everyone even in a huge school like this. There were many different personalities. They were all nice with me, but no one was as nice as Lyric and Lirit. These two were the ones who took the most care of me. I wonder if they were special or I just thought they were special because they are the ones I spend most of my time with. We also trained, they had amazing equipment for training. 

Surprisingly Lirit wasn't a guy who liked fighting, he was weak he liked observing us during our training more. He also had good eyes, he always gave everyone advices to improve their fighting skills. While Lyric was strong, she had impressive agility and fairly good strength. We even fought each other, I won. It wasn't easy for me to win this one. She was good. I wish we can fight in battles together one day. With Lirit giving us instructions and tactics to winning, me fighting with my strength and Lyric with her agility and speed. We can be the unbeatable trio. I learned a lot from this training, a lot more than Honorus could ever teach me my whole life. I didn't miss Honorus. After all I have a greater family with me here. 

After we got bored of staying inside all day, Lyric took us to a spot she knew. I couldn't help but wonder where she was taking us the whole time. She refused to tell us, she insisted on making it a surprise. It was far away, I never got that far from the city before. 

We finally made it. She was taking us to see the sea. Now I remember them asking if I've seen the sea before or not. They were planning for this from the beginning. I never imagined that the sea would be so huge and endless. Lyric and Lirit seemed to be enjoying the view too even thought they told me they come here often. I wonder if I will be able to come here as often too. Maybe if I stay here with them I can come with them every time. They taught me to swim too, it wasn't as hard I thought, all I had to do was move my body and I was staying afloat. The water was salty, which made it harder for me. my eyes were burning and my mouth was dry. Whenever I asked them how they are not bothered by it they would laugh and say "You will get used to it in a while too so don't worry"

I never got used to it that day, all the time the saltiness kept bothering me. It was night already, our clothes were wet and we didn't have any alternatives. I was kind of scarred, I didn't know the way home even if it was in the morning let alone in the night. But I trusted them enough to not ask any questions. 

I will never forget this night. The countless stars and the huge blue full moon lighting up the night sky and the clouds around it. If only my brother could be with us, my life would be complete. I don't want anything more than this moment lasting forever. But I guess its too late, I had said it myself, nothing lasts forever. But I will protect these two, for the sake of this memory.
