62 This is reality! Don't run from it!

Two person were sitting on a cliff, both had black coat covering their body, only their heads were exposed, a woman who wears glasses and with black silky and neatly treated hair were busy with her book, while the man with black hair messy that resembles hers, were sitting beside her while humming a song, while swinging his legs back and forth. Comfortable silences were in between them, until the man broke it, "Should I send more?" He asks turning his head at her, "Up to you. Whatever you think." The woman replies, without even looking back at him.

"Alright then." The man said, and stand up, gazing over the sunset. "What do you think about the sunset right now?" He asks still gazing at the sunset. "Beautiful…I suppose…" The woman replies, and take a peak from her book, looking at the sunset. "Ahaha…It's one of the view things you like, huh?" The man said, as his eyes softened, "I guess." She plainly replies, with slight interest.

He waited until the sun completely set off, since the night is a good advantages over his Magic. Shadow Beast. "They won't last long. Maybe Master Zosce's gift can be ours." He said, and smiles cockily, "Don't hope much. Your hope might died down." The woman said and adjusts her glasses, "Haha…Still cannot get over our past, aren't you?" He laughs and looks down at her, only to be meet with her glares, "Ah…Where were I?" He said and avoids her scary glares.

"Want to help? It will be more fascinating seeing their deaths." The man said, and smiles evilly. "Sure. Make it quick." She answers, and close her book.

"The sun is setting off…" Theresa mumbles, looking at where the sun was before. "Hector! Let's get to the others!" She said, looking for his responds, but after wait a few second, she didn't get any replies. "Hector?" She asks looking around for him, but he was nowhere at sights. "Ugh…Did he got lost or something?" She groans and activates her fire as a lighter.

"Weird…Did I get lost?" Hector said, and scratch the back of his head, as he tries to look for Theresa. "Theresa! Where are you?" He shouts, putting his hands around his mouth to make his voice louder, still no response were given. "Oi, can you smells her scent?" He asks looking at Arkus on his right shoulder. "Got it." Arkus replies and jump down from his soldier, sniffing the ground.

"The scent is too faint…There's some sort of interferences…" Arkus said, wondering why he can't smells her. "Maybe we got too far?" Hector said, telling his opinions, "Probably." Arkus shrugs and tries once again to smells her scent.

"I'm glad you've recovered! My dear little sister!" Ashley squealed claiming Celine as her sister, and hug Celine in a bone crushing hug, luckily her boobs aren't big or Celine will suffocated between her boobs. "Let go…You're crushing my bones…" Celine said trying to make her let her go, "Oops, sorry!" Ashley let go of her and laughs awkwardly, "Done with your little moments? We got things to do." Chiharu said, interfering their moments, "Yeah! After you interfere!" Ashley said slightly mocks her. "Shut your mouth!" Chiharu snaps.

And when she calmed down, she cleared her throat, "So, anyway we should set up a camp." Chiharu said, and points at Ashley, "You, get some woods." She said, ordering her, "Aye-aye." Ashley said cheerfully and turns around to find some trees to get cut down. Chiharu looks around, noticing two person were not present. "Where is those two?" She mumbles, trying to look for any sign of Hector, Theresa and Arkus, but didn't find any due to the lacks of lights. "Want me to find them? They might get lost." Celine said, offering her help. "No, no. It's too risky. Beside I need your help with few things." Chiharu said, refusing to let her went after the two.

"Help with what?" Celine asks, "Come with me." Chiharu said, and motions her hand, telling her to follow her.

Meanwhile with Zeolite, he's still asleep, soft snores slips out from his mouth, peaceful looks on his face, until it changes to uneasy looks, his brows were furrowed, teeth were gritted, his hand balled into fists, as it looks like he's having a nightmare, and he was.

"Gah! P-Please! Spare me!! Agh! It hurts!" Past Zeolite stares at the soldier under him, and dug his sword deeper into his wounds. "Keep screaming. It's no use, none will hear your shrill screams, and none will help you. I shall end your life." Past Zeolite said coldly, his eyes shows no pity, his words shows no sign of sympathy. He pulls back his sword from the deep wounds on the man under him and holds it in the air, slamming it down on his head, blood splattered on every inches of the room, his clothes and face is stained with blood.

"Alright, we're done with the peasant. What shall we talk about, other me?" Past Zeolite asks, turning around to look at the present Zeolite, who had his eyes shut close, unable bear the things he committed before. Past Zeolite stares at his other self with soulless eyes, and laughs madly. "Hahaha!! Face the thing you committed before, present me! Don't close those eyes of yours! This is the thing you've committed! Don't run from reality!"

Zeolite shakes vigorously, he clutches his head, kneeling down on the floor, as he keeps telling himself that this is just a nightmare, and nothing more than a nightmare. "This is not a nightmare. This is reality." His past self interfere, Zeolite glances up at his past self. "Who are you?" He asks in a low voice, "I'm you, you are me. We are the same person." His past self said, and wipes the blood on his face with his arms.

"Nonsense." Zeolite said, declining the fact that this madman is himself. "You still haven't learn, huh?" His past self said, and stares at him, annoyed. "…" Zeolite stays quiet and stares at his past self. "When are you gonna tell your puny friends that you killed more than thousands innocent peoples?" His past self questions makes him froze.

"They…They will not know…" Zeolite utters and looks at the side, "Huh? Really? You wanted those peasants to remain clueless about you? What an evil choices, Zeolite." His past self said, impressed by his choices. "…" Zeolite didn't replies, and stays quiet. "Will you kill them, if they know about your past identity?" He asks, and makes Zeolite to widens his eyes.

The atmosphere become quiet and awkward, his past self waits for Zeolite to answers his questions, and after a while, Zeolite finally spokes. "No…Instead, I wanted them to kill me. And looked at me with full hatred. I don't mind…I deserves it, after all these innocents life I took. I too deserves a painful death." He said, telling him what he wanted them to do.

His past self stares at him, and laughs in amusement. "Bwahahaha! What a silly answers! Didn't we wished to die a hero? That won't make you anything if you die like that!" Zeolite look up at his past self who is laughing loudly, "That one dream…Will not come true. What kind of person who will be a hero after killing thousands of innocent peoples? Impossible. I'm just a mere lowly peasant, who dreamed to be a hero." Zeolite said, with a calm voice, that pissed his past self.

"…Listen here you shithead." He grumbles pissed and picks Zeolite up by his collars, "No matter what you do, guilts will always chases after you." He said clearly pissed by Zeolite's words. Zeolite stares at him, and smiles slightly. "I know. That's why I haven't forgive myself yet. And never will I forgive myself. But, meeting them was the most happiness I felt. They were like an angels from the Heaven itself. Even though their personalities is f*cked up." His past self widened his eyes in surprises, before gritting his teeth, "Get lost…" He mutters, knocking Zeolite back to real world.

Zeolite stares at the ceilings above him, thoughts of his encounters with his past self lingers in his mind, until he hears someone speaking in distance. 'I should see the others.' He thoughts and get up from his seat, walking to the sources of voices.

Hector has walk for 15 minutes, but keep getting to where he's at before, and that makes him get irritated. "Ugh! Why are we walking in circles? Do I take the wrong path?" He grumbles looking at the big single tree that he keep seeing. "Did you take the same path? Try the other path then." Arkus said, suggesting him to take other way, "Alright, I'll try." Hector said and stares at the three different path in front of him, and take the left path, instead of the middle path.

He then appears back to the place where he begins at from the right path, "Told you! That will happens!" Hector shouts pointing to the trees, trying to make Arkus believes him. "I thought you were losing your sanity." Arkus said and stares at him uninterest. "Agh! Of course I am! How the hell does we return back here?!" Hector raged, and punches the ground, frustrated.

"Be quiet. I want to sleep." Arkus said and lays comfortably above Hector's head, "Oh, no you're not sleeping, shitty fox!" Hector grabs him and yeeted him to the middle path, "AAAKH! YOU'LL REGRET THIS!" Arkus shouts as his voice get quieter along the path. "I'll regret no things!" Hector cockily said and fix his collars, until Arkus hits the back of his head with full forces.

"Argh!" Hector shouts and falls to the ground, face first. "I'm dizzy…" Arkus said, imaginary meats spins around his head, his eyes spinning, until he shakes his head, and notices the fallen Hector, "Hah! I win!" He cheers and stands on Hector's head, proudly.
