The setting sun cast its radiance on the green ground and the lake beside it shone with a silvery white glow. It was a rather picturesque scene, that is if you paid no mind to the image of the teenager with blood red eyes seemingly bloodshot looking up to the sky, those eyes that seemed to hold within, deep despair and helplessness.
“You’re too weak boy, come trying again in ten thousand years, maybe then you might have the slightest chance of reaching the gates of a high ranked overlord’s domain before ultimately dying there anyways….”, those words filled with contempt echoed constantly through his head along with the face of the arrogant man who said it, judging by the aura of the man he knew he wouldn’t stand a chance in a fight with the man, it would have just been him sending himself to be killed most likely but even still he felt a big urge to punch the guy in his face.
“I guess I really am weak….” Murmuring to himself, a wry smile appeared on the teen’s face. “And it’s entirely my fault... Ella I know now how i feel about you, I don't know if you're aware of it or not, but now it seems like I never will be able to confess it to you...”
The setting sun moved slowly beyond the horizon and night fell, after total silence for almost two hours with only the sound heard being that of grasshoppers chirping filling the scene, a vibrating noise rang out. Still looking at the horizon the boy raised his left hand slowly, and as it reached his lips, a voice sounded out from it, “Honey where are you, I came here to see you but Kasali told me you weren’t home, I waited for so long because I wanted to surprise you but you’re really late, don’t make mama worried, where are you?” a worried voice sounded out of a wristwatch. The guy stayed quiet in response for a second before replying “I'm sorry I made you worried mom. Don’t worry about me, see you soon”. The person on the other side though could hear the odd tone in his voice as she sought to say something else “Hey-…” But he disconnected the call before she could continue talking.

He put his hand down and stood up like he was carrying the weight of the world on his back. He raised his head, looking at the sky like his eyes were about to pierce through the sky to look beyond but of course, he was too ‘weak’ to do that. “Too bad no one’s here to mark my words, I will definitely find you Ella, and I’ll take you with me…. And I’ll also make sure to kick that asshole in the mouth but that’s only because he’s related to you, otherwise I’ll be cutting off his tongue too” the guy’s attitude suddenly took a whole different turn from the ‘saddened and helplessly despaired’ atmosphere around him just now
“How dare him call me weak, I could have taken him down if I wanted, I just didn’t want to seem disrespectful….”. You could clearly see the sadness deep down in his eyes yet he managed to utter such words, it was a real wonder whether or not he even knew what his words implied. The guy seemed to have cheered up a little though, turning his back to the beautiful picturesque-like scenery, he walked with somewhat heavy legs to his home.
