Akashic Chronicles: Paradise Lost

"Attachments are unneeded" It was both the first and last thing my old man told me. To be an effective killer you must not feel for the enemy. To be an effective mercenary you must not feel remorse. A contract is a contract. The Client is god for us. To us the value of money is more important than ideals. Hope won't feed you. Sometimes those very same ideals could poison your entire being. Possess you into something more than what you aimed to be. Embrace nothingness, Coin is God. That was the mantra of every mercenary. That was what I believed for so long, until I met her. She pulled me out of that murky swamp. Shining an inexhaustible light, creating a solid path we could tread on to. She was the reason I could keep on moving forwards. The only reason I gave a damn about anything. However, soon enough, like all roads, it soon crumbled into rubble, nothing but relics of bygone memories remained. Plunging me back down deeper into that black and murky waters once more. I reveled in it. I let it consume me, become the very thing we swore to destroy. The very same thing my old man told me about. A monster borne from the hypocrisy of those ideals, yet desperately clinging onto it like a mad man. This is the tale of a fool who once known love, oh so beautiful yet poisonous it consumed him. A tale of a fool who yearns for redemption yet revels in his own self hatred. A monstrosity borne not from necessity, but from anguish.

Wolf of Ragnarok (III)

Rhistel helped Saskia up, Saskia wobled as she staggered while standing up. She held her mouth as she prevented herself from puking all over the table. Minerva sighed as she saw their sorry sight.

She turned towards Rhistel, "Where they hell are they staying at? C'mon. I'll make it quick."

Rhistel nodded her head and gave her precise coordinates. Haruki on the other hand shook Canary, however hearing no response he just picked her up and carried her on his back. 

Canary instinctively hugged his neck as she mumbled lightly.

"Scarlett go play outside, Mommy's a little tired."

Her words ineviatble made Haruki cough as he looked away. Rhistel clicked her tongue as she glared at Haruki.

He scratched his cheeks, making Minerva raise her eyebrows, however not knowing the full picture she kept quiet and let them handle it instead. She snapped her fingers and a blue portal appeared beside her.
