Chapter 14 - chaper 14: the tomb

"As I say, when we kill one of those such heroes, he had in his heart one of those gems that locked the essence of the goddess Vitae."

"Is it that ... they are?"

"When we started halfway to one of them, he regenerated completely again; when we removed that hero's heart, he did not regenerate."

"Which means he died."

"I see. We must kill those heroes attacking the heart or, if not, starting them."

"I will not get dirty my sweet hands with that disgusting blood, but I would like to see them suffer from pain."

"The easiest thing is to burn them until their bones become dust so that they can never regenerate again and so they cannot get into our paths."

"It is best to turn them into stone each for all eternity. What do you think?"

"I will only do my best. I will not do the same as our ancestors, who began that silly civil war and almost lead us to our end."

"Quiet, god of the wind. Like we, the first founders, we will not make those mistakes."

"Make the best decision because any decision for me will be the best. Why? Because I am the God of Luck. Luckily smiles at me! Hahahaha."

"I, as a leader, make the decision to kill those heroes. We will give them hunt. It is best that we, the leaders, kill them. We cannot get carried away by appearances; they must be very strong. So I order them to look for them and kill them as quickly as possible."

[At that time, the ten people who were sitting stood up and, just as they arrived at the place, left without saying any more word.]

What happened again? I passed out ... Where am I? I feel grass all over my body ... Ah, I really must get out of that crack and help my brother.

"Her ... brother! What happened to you? Why don't you wake up, brother? What did they do to you? Brother!"

I listened to a voice shouting as I opened my eyes and, when I finished speaking, I could see how Ken held Iko strongly while crying disconsolately. I couldn't believe what I saw ... Iko was dead, he was dead while Aiko hugged him strongly.

"Iko, why did you stay to fight? Why didn't you throw yourself with us?"

Draekon approached Aiko to separate him from this, but he kept holding it strongly; I didn't want to release it at all.

"Leave it now, Ken. He can't answer you. He won't return. Leave it now, please ... no more."

Everyone at that time were crying, they could not believe that one of us had just died.

We could not believe that Iko had died. After a while, my brother Daichi left the city and, when he returned, he told us that he needed us to leave the kingdom of humans.

He made a great hole in front of a great tree that was in a hill, from where the whole kingdom of humans in flames was seen. My brother put Iko there and thus covered the hole where they buried Iko. In front of his grave, he buried a sword and knelt in front of it while crying and shouted.

"Brothers, I know we can die at any time because this is a war that we must end so that no one more dies or is injured. We will bring peace to this world. Iko's death will not be in vain, nor anyone else's. And perhaps also another of us can die in the attempt, but this will be the tomb of us, the tomb of our family. Although our body is not buried here, this sword will be the symbol of each of us. "

At that time, we all shout with a "yes" to every lung, swearing that we would end this silly war, although we died in the attempt.
