Volume IV - Chapter 125: The Last Battle

The day before the big battle, I went back to my room to sleep, at least for an hour or two.

Inside the unlit room... this time there was really no one.

'They are dead.'

Gurdas' death came to my mind for a moment. My mind was filled with thoughts. And then... I felt a force on my shoulder as if someone had put a hand on it.

"They're dead too, Aiden."

It was a familiar voice, a voice I'd heard whispering in my mind almost every time I'd been in battle, a voice I'd gotten... used to.

"Shut up."

I ignored my thoughts, ignored him, and let myself fall directly onto the bunk bed in the quadruple room.
