Tears fall when unwanted, and confusing starts at the wrong time

" Bringer Of Punishment!!! "

Shu yelled, punching the man right on his face, using all the strength and energy that was left in him, causing a giant shockwave that leveled the entire forest, leaving only a crater, not only that but Ethan's body had been shot flying across the air, crashing and bouncing against the ground, causing some of his muscles to break before he landed in the middle of the village for all the inhabiters to see

" Did Shu win? "

Tristen said to himself before he was startled by a loud crash; something had landed next to Ethan, causing a mantle of dirt.

The moment the dirt vanished, it revealed who was the one who crashed; of course that person was Shu, but the most surprising thing was that the boy was holding Ethan by his neck.

" Time to atone for your misdeeds "

Shu said, as he tightly squeezed the man's neck, pushing him against the ground whilst forming a blade of blue energy on his left hand

" Did that boy really defeat the nobleman? "

A villager questioned, staring at the boy who began to look around, confused now that he was seeing all the villagers form a circle around him, gossiping about the nobleman

" If so, then, aren't we free? "

Another one added, making every other villager smile, as they then began to mutter what they'd do in the future now that they were free and allowed all their food

" Are you villagers really okay with this!? Huh!?!? "

Ethan yelled, causing everyone to turn and look at him, Shu being the first one to glare

" Do you know what will happen once I die, boy!?! "

The man yelled, causing Shu to raise and eyebrow and tilt his head, confused and not sure what the man was getting at

" No? I just got here, but even though I haven't gathered much time in this village, I know who I need to punish so.. "

Shu replied, easing his left hand higher as the blade he had shined brightly, allowing everyone to see that menacing weapon the boy had conjured

" Everyone here will die!! "

Ethan yelled, alerting the villagers who began to gossip, questioning if wether the man's threat was worthy of being called one, 'I mean, he is just seconds away from dying, what are is he going to do? He'll be dead '

Those were the thoughts that ran across the villagers' minds as they thought of what fate to give this man

" What do you mean, everyone will die? "

Shu questioned, making the man smile, his teeth covered in bright red blood and his eyes filled with confidence

" Well, if I die here, my father will know, and he won't just keep doing my work, no, he won't settle for goods, recourses and food, he'll simply destroy this village, bring death to everyone here. Are you willing to risk that much? "

The man said, making Shu squint his eyes in doubt, hesitating a bit, worried for the villagers' , he didn't want to make the wrong decision

" Who cares! I'll just kill him too! "

Shu replied, preparing to thrust his hand forward but surprisingly everyone around him pleaded him to stop

" Please boy, don't kill him, he's suffer enough, please just let him go "

A worn out woman said as she threw herself on the ground, proceeding to slam her head on the ground, bowing in front of the boy

" Please, don't kill him, I have kids, I don't want them to die, please boy I beg of you "

The woman said as she began to cry, the blood that dropped from her forehead mixing with her salty tears, piercing the snow, like a rock does water.

Soon after, every other villager did the same, begging the boy to let the man who made them suffer go

" Wha-what is wrong with you people!?!? This is the guy who's always taking your food!! Why are you protecting him!?!? "

Shu yelled, confused and suffocating in his own feelings. He's never experienced anything like this, every time he helped someone they didn't question it, they allowed it, he was always right, so why is it that these people don't agree with him?

He began to pant, breathing heavy, he didn't know how to combat this, most of his martial arts he has mastered, but this, to him, was a new threat he couldn't deal with, or rather, didn't know how to

" Shu "

Tristen said, standing in the back of the crowd, his eyes showing fear of what the boy might do next

" Please let him go..I just got my mother back, I don't want to lose her "

The kid added, making Shu open his eyes wide whilst his eyebrows forced themselves down. He didn't know what to do, this was crazy!! These people were crazy!!

" You're all idiots!! "

Shu yelled, stabbing the man in his shoulder, proceeding to pull it out a few seconds later as he then jumped upward, disappearing in a blur of speed.

As that happened, someone else was going through a similar problem

" It took a bit to find this mountain, even though it's so big for some reason the universe tells me to avoid it, this took me days to find, oh well "

Romulus said as he stood on what seemed to be a mountain that pierced the clouds and stood above them.

The peak of this mountain looked like a forest, and on the middle there was a gigantic crater, which level most of the terrain

" So this is where master lived his last days? By the looks of things, there was a fight, which means, someone killed him, he didn't die of old age "

Romulus said as he shoved his hands inside of his Royal like clothing

" Oh well "

Romulus whispered before taking in a deep breath, to then kneel, closing his eyes and exhaling

" Forgive me Master, for what i will do, I know you didn't raise me to be the way I am now, but curiousness took over me, just like it killed the cat "

Romulus said as he bowed down in front of the crater, tears beginning to spill from his eyelids

" I know that you thought of me as one of your sons, and I am glad that you saved me from the state that I was in when you found me, but I must betray your teachings.. "

He added, more tears falling from his eyes as he squeezed the dirt, grabbing a handful of it from the ground

" I promise you I will end my life once I've reached my goal, as punishment for betraying you, all i ask of you is that you please forgive those actions. I miss you Master, and I wish that you Rest In Peace, living amazingly like you always did, goodbye "

He finished, standing up before wiping away his tears and taking in a deep breath, staring up at the sky solemnly.
