DEATH

Our quote for today: "Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering." - Yoda, 'The Phantom Menace'.

Third Person's P.O.V

Every being has their own set of turning points. At that point, all choices, decisions, and beliefs will progressively shift. For Mino, everything is an explosion that has struck him in the most painful way possible.

He's had enough of being told he's not deserving... that he's weak and incapable of defending himself.

He's at the end of his rope. He'll devour everyone and everything in his path.

They say that emotions make people weak, yet some people use them as a source of strength, pushing themselves to their limits.

As Mino threw away the prince of snow, a loud thump on the snowy terrain resonated on the frozen mountain.

Calix took a minute to stare at the mortal, who was surrounded with electricity. He felt the electrocution travel through all of his veins. Mino's power seemed to be bursting at the seams with intensity.

"You're always insisting that I didn't deserve her! But have you ever considered me? What the fuck do I deserve? Why should I have to prove myself on something I didn't choose? You infiltrated my life in silence and then filled my mind with beliefs that I am unworthy? Who's the fool now?!" his words were heavy, and the heavens seemed to concur.

Agad na namuo sa kalangitan ang maiitim na mga ulap habang patuloy sa pagbagsak ang mga nyebe sa bundok Everest. Tanging sa lugar na nagyeyelo lamang kayang makapunta ni Calix gamit ang teleportasyon.

"I don't want to be a part of your dreadful world! You've done nothing but mock beings like me! What makes your kind special ? The power? The strength? Your fangs and claws? Without those, what are you good for? Humans can survive without you all!" he started.

"You are just a plague that added miseries in this world! Monsters that reap the benefits of power! You think highly of yourselves! Next time, don't let a mortal be engaged in your wretched world if you'll just belittle them!" he roared furiously, emphasizing every phrase.

Thunderclaps rang, harsh and sharp lightning struck, lighting up the dark clouds. It appeared to be a storm brewing and ready to wreak havoc, like a deluge of anger brewing in the chest of a man deceived and used.

"We may be weak and scared, but that is no excuse for you to belittle, lie, and use us! I'll exact the fury of the mortals you insulted!" he screamed violently.

Calix quickly closed his eyes, unable to look at the blinding light that Mino is releasing. His body produces more powerful and faster electricity that is ready to be released at any time.

Isa lang ang pumasok sa isip ni Calix habang nasasaksihan ang nangyayari kay Mino. Hindi siya isang simpleng tao lamang. There is more to him that needs digging and discovering.

Agad na pinilit na tumayo ng prinsipe ng nyebe at ikinumpas ang kaniyang mga kamay. His fangs emerged as he awaken his powers again.

He crushed his palm together and a big globe of thick ice covered him to stand as a shield. Mino's hand trembled as he gathered enough power to attack.

Fast and intense bursts of lightning can be heard striking the snowy mountains.

Mino let out a loud howl of rage before leaping into the air and plunging into the direction of Calix's dome.

He blasted the dome with his left fist while it was engulfed in powerful voltage. He felt tremendous strength and wanted to let it all out. He'd had enough of the insults, of not being loved back but rather being manipulated and tricked.

Agad na napasigaw si Calix dahil mabilisan na nabasag ang simboryong kaniyang ginawa, marahas na tumilapon ang mga tipak ng yelo kasabay ng pagdaloy sa kaniya nang malakas na kuryente.

He growled in pain as he struggled to gaze at Mino's eyes, which eventually turned blue and had a little electricity radiating out of them. Mino raised his right hand and opened his mouth, revealing his razor fangs.

Calix was struck by a flash of lightning from the heavens above as Mino hastily closed his right palm.

Matinding sakit ang naramdaman ng prinsipe habang pinipilit niyang hawakan man lang si Mino, nanginginig ang kanang kamay niya na humawak sa nakasarang kamao ni Mino habang patuloy na dumadaloy sa kaniya ang malakas na kuryente.

Nang mahawakan na niya ito ay agad niyang pinag-init ang kaniyang mga mata, his claws emerged at mabilis na pinagyelo ang katawan ni Mino. Mabilis na nawala ang kuryente habang nabalot kaagad ng makapal na yelo ang katawan ng nagwawalang mortal.

Agad na ginamit ni Calix ang kaniyang bilis upang makalayo nang bahagya ngunit agad niyang narinig ang mabilis na pagkabasag ng yelo at ang paglabas ng malakas na kuryente sa katawan ng mortal.

Mino just wiped off the remaining fragments of ice on his body at agad na tumama ang malakas na kuryente sa kaniyang direksyon at mabilis siyang napunta sa harapan ni Calix na hindi nakita ang kaniyang mabilis na paglapit.

Agad na napainda si Calix nang maramdaman niya ang marahas na pagkakasakal sa kaniya. Hindi na niya kakayanin pa kung muli siyang makukuryente ni Mino. Ramdam niyang mawawalan na siya ng malay kapag inatake siyang muli.

He immediately produced icy daggers on both sides of his body and thrust them into Mino, but there appeared to be a force field that crushed the icy daggers before they even struck Mino. His grasp on Calix's neck intensified, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Calix tried to struggle just to free himself. He thump his left foot at mabilis na naglabasan ang matutulis na yelo sa lupa. Agad siyang binitawan ni Mino at tumalon ito paatras upang iwasan ang malalaking matatalas na yelo na lumabas sa nagyeyelong lupang kaniyang tinatapakan.

Calix used that time to breath quickly upang mabawi ang hirap niya sa paghinga kanina.

Sa pag-atras ni Mino ay napunta siya sa posisyon kung saan may malaking bloke ng yelo sa kaniyang magkabilang gilid.

Calix immediately extended his hands, facing each other at marahas na ikinuyom ang mga ito na tila ba dumudurog siya ng kung ano at mabilisan na may lumabas na matutulis at mahahabang yelo sa mga bloke na nakapaligid kay Mino.

Calix clapped his extended hands at mabilis na bumulusok ang malalaking bloke na may matutulis na at malalaking yelo na kung babaon kay Mino ay siguradong malala ang magiging sugat nito.

As Calix sought to enhance the force pushing the blocks to crush Mino, Mino swiftly stopped the block of ice with both hands and launched a massive blast of electricity from his palms.

But as the block of ice continuously approach him, he glanced up furiously, and a lightning bolt struck him, which was slowly absorbed by his body, allowing him to become stronger.

"Mas higit kong mahal ang buhay ko kaya nagawa kong gamitin ka."

"Fuck!" agad na inda ni Mino dahil sa bigla na lamang pumasok sa isip niya ang mga masasakit na katagang iyon. He felt like his head was hit by a wrecking ball habang tila bumabalik siya sa kaniyang katinuan.

"Mahal ko ang buhay ko Mino at hindi ko hahayaan na mamamatay lamang ako dahil sa iyo kaya naman ginawa ko ang lahat pati ang paibigin ka upang hindi mo kitlin ang iyong sarili at hindi ako madamay."

"Get the hell out of my head!" he yelled, losing his power and violently held his head, which was beginning to hurt.

"Entrante!" nabigla nang husto si Calix sa biglang pagkawala kapangyarihan ni Mino at dahil doon ay hindi niya nagawang pigilan ang biglang mabilis na pagbulusok ng bloke ng matatalas na yelo.

Agad na nanlaki ang kaniyang mga mata dahil madudurog si Mino na ngayon ay tila may iniinda. Agad niyang ginamit ang kaniyang bilis upang tumakbo palapit at iligtas si Mino.

"Damn it! Mino! Umalis ka diyan!" marahas niyang utos habang mabilis na bumubulusok ang yelo.

Agad na marahas na napatingin si Mino sa kaniyang kaliwa at agad na nanlaki ang kaniyang mga mata dahil nakita niya ang bumubulusok na bloke papunta sa kaniyang direksyon.

It was only a few inches away and he could tell it was going to hit him.

"VREEEIHYAAA!" rinig niyang malakas na sigaw ni Calix bago niya tuluyang ipinikit ang kaniyang mga mata upang tanggapin na madugo ang kaniyang magiging kamatayan.

He felt the sharp ice pierced some parts of his body and he felt a sharp pain as they dug dipper to his skin.

He merely sighed heavily as the reality hit him; he no longer feared death because the most painful thing had already occurred to him, and death was nothing in comparison.
