Gallant face-off

"You..You are hurting me..." Trying to unleash her fragile wrist from his strong grip, she quivered in pain as the way he was gripping onto her, with his obnoxious strength was indeed hurting her.

"How dare you even try to defy me? You weak nosy human!" Czar was losing his hold over his wrath and grumbled in a vile tone. "I haven't even used my entire strength snd you are already twisted in pain. Should I end your suffering by killing you at once?" Swirling his dilated black eyeballs wider, he groaned at her.

"Are...you trying to threaten me?" While asking him back, her arm started twitching severely in pain as compared to his inhuman strength, Eva was an absolutely powerless weakling. "Do you think you can scare me with your rage?"

"No, I don't intend to scare such a useless human like you." As he reciprocated, a villainous sneer appeared on his face, fixing his intense gaze upon her. "It would probably take a few seconds for me to terminate your existence. Don't you understand how vulnerable you are before us, you fool? How do you even dare to stand up against my command with such a fragile body?" His voice sounded a little curious.

Trying to sway up her wrist apart from his grip, she glared back at him with her dark black eyes swelled up with tears of anguish and fear. Her jowls we trembling, she was scared of him, but she desperately wanted to face him bravely without backing out. 

"I know I am weak... But... you can't shatter away my determination, no matter how hard you try to threaten me. If... If you want to kill me, do it. I won't stop you. But also, I won't retreat from here today without seeing Zeus." She reclaimed with tears rolling down from the corner of her despaired eyes.

Czar seemed very surprised to watch her acting all brave with her shivering, fragile posture in that small figure. She was unable to unleash herself from his single tightened clutch but didn't appear to accept defeat at any cost. This was the very first time, he was watching a human facing him with such a gallant resolution.

"You want to visit that dumb fool, risking your own life? Haha! What a pathetic human you are! Do you even understand what you are even aiming for?" He grinned nonchalantly with a sly expression.

"Don't you dare badmouth about him!" Eva howled at him in a loud tone, glaring her fiery eyes wider as she seemed much enraged. The way Czar tried to belittle his ultimate sacrifice, triggered Eva real hard and she snapped at him furiously. "That person... That person didn't think about a single consequence...and jumped before me to save my life from that monster! And I won't allow any jerk like you to disparage his huge sacrifice... I will never allow, do you get it?"

"Did you just call me a jerk?" He seemed much amused with the way she stood up front before him to defend Zeus. He smirked a little and tightened his grip on her arm which immediately caused her immense pain as a punishment for vexing back at him. "I saved your life today too or else you would have been transformed into a pile of ripped skin and a few bones. And, this is how you appreciate me, little duckling?"

Her wrist started to throb hard in pain as he had poured up his strength, punishing her harder. Twitching her arm, she tried to escape away from him desperate, whimpering in pain. "My hand... My hand is hurting... Please... Please leave my arm... It's paining..."

"Then take your words back inside your arrogant little mouth and just disappear from here. I am still being kind enough and giving you the final chance to run away. If you still dare to disobey, then you will lose your life in my hands." This time, his threatening voice resonated much darker as he widened his glare at her.

She was still fidgeting in pain but stubbornly shook her head in declination. "No... I won't leave, at any cost!" She resembled to be in severe pain as the porcelain white skin of her arm was turning into bruised red, due to his grip.

"You lousy human--"

"Please let me see him just once!" Unable to suppress her inner painful turmoil, she broke down severely into tears of anguish. "Please... just let me see his face once... After that, you...you can kill me, I won't stop you. But before dying, please... please just let me see him once for god sake with my own eyes. I promise I would never come back here again. But please... I beg of you, please." Sobbing hard with her wrecked heart, she grabbed his arm with her shivering fragile arm, clenching him while pleading for her ultimate wish. 

Witnessing her strength entirely shattering down in front of him, for the first time, he felt a strange twitching pain inside his cold, frozen heart. Watching her crying bitterly, suddenly, an unknown pain stirred inside his heart which he never ever experienced before, encountering any human. Looking at her all powerless, helplessly pleading before him to have a single glance of Zeus, unknowingly reminded himself of a painful memory flashback, which his heart had engraved deeper inside all these years.

...

[Flashback]

"Please let me see my mom, please!"

Holding the arm of a younger small boy preferably in his early teens of around 14-15 years, a small innocent child of around 5-6 years old was whimpering in pain, helplessly shaking his arm to convey his emotions to him. The younger boy was all standing all stiff, frigid, and numb, lowering his grimace down.

"Please let me see my mother, brother...hic hic... Please take me to her... I beg of you, brother..." He was sobbing bitterly covered in drool and sweat, biting his small, feeble lips and grabbing onto his arm pleading hard.

The younger boy slowly raised his chin up and glanced at him with a heavy heart. "Czar, leave my hand--"

"No. Please, big brother... I don't have anyone in this world except my mom...hic...She is innocent... She didn't do anything...Why...Why is everyone punishing her? Please... Please take me to her just once... I will never ask you anything ever again... Please let me see her just once...Please brother," folding his tiny arms, he helplessly begged before him in a crooked voice.

"I...I am sorry..." The boy immediate unleashed away his arm from his grasp and started marching forward with a slow pace. His eyes were tear-filled, painful, grievous and as he moved a few steps ahead, warm tears dripped down.

"No...Please brother... Brother Zeus! Please take me to my mom...Please... Momma... How can I reach you... Please somebody help me..." His trembling feet gave up the strength and he fell down on the ground, shattering down into bitter lamenting, crying out louder.
