"Pl-pwease don't…kill.me!"
Overcoming the Intense fear, the child managed to speak out to the man who was slaughtering them left-right.
Orion found his steadfast grip on his sword trembling as no matter how much he struggled he couldn't will himself to push through. Totally unlike other people or even children, this child was neither attacking him nor had he lost his mind. Rather he was hiding from the start in between the crowd to save himself. That's what Orion argued with his inner self who was repeatedly warning - the child was way past redemption. He can not be saved!
Seeing the man halting the child broke into crying completely as he lifted his small hand and tried to reach up to Orion. It wasn't his fault, at all. Though he wished to find solace not knowing what was wrong with himself.
"P-ease…p-lease…pl-ease don't kill me! " he managed to say out between his fearful whimpers.
