These flowing feelings, following at her side. Remembering her studies, his partner explaining it to him. Slowly circling the human, his careful eyes. His furious soul, hope still with him, his shining resolve.

Walking in darkness, one in his mind. His boiling anger, darkness secreting from him. Not giving in, an image never leaving him. His companion no more, a foe overpowering him. Returning stronger, his guiding despair.

There has to be a point of entry...something...

This chaotic city, his efforts to this point. Hearing the screams from many, flames engulfing the place. Not caring for them, those continuously hunting the two. Desiring for betterment, everything slipping away.

That dog spreading his stance, locking onto his foe. These swirling emotions, dancing in this lonely abyss. Charging at his enemy, searching for a weakness. To create a better world, her simple wish. Clashing sentiments, these inside of him.

"You stupid mutt! Learn your place!"

A heart in the raging storm, rain drops stabbing in the icy plain. Enduring its harshness, charging in this blackness. The man's blade above, striking down. His powerful art, an enormous energy circling the weapon, releasing its devastating force. That rushing assault, this nearing the hound.

Slightly adjusting his steps, instantly vanishing. Moving through the shadows, the enemy trailing him. Taking advantage of the fog, emerging from behind, striking with his fiery fangs. The turning foe, blocking the attack with his sword, unease in his eyes.

"You're learning as you go...—!" scowling at the animal.

"But it is pointless!"

Living in a forest, enjoying his life with his partner. Two tackling their challenges together, making it through difficult times. Embracing in that bliss, her powerful resolve. Yearning for betterment, wanting more for him. Wishing for a better world, fighting back. Everything slipping away, his direction towards tomorrow.

The enemy building divine energy, unleashing it on the dog. This violently exploding field, fear in Aurora's eyes, that devil paying close attention. Zeus flying out of the smoke, crashing down. A massive crack in the land, the witch slowly floating back.

"I can't watch this!" covering her face.

"You cannot watch? Is that it? Look how hard he is trying to bring you some kind of justice. At least his own vision of such. Do you not believe you should witness this?" Cyra glancing to Aurora, folding her arms.

Following her to Parell, his shaking eyes. That partner no more, attacking in his rage. Defeat coming to him, making it out. Returning stronger than before, his burning determination. That witch lowering her hands, tears in her vision.

This difficult situation, the demon understanding it. Something more in her actions, this will to oppose reason. Zeus slowly rising to his feet, trying to hold himself together. Resisting the pain on his body, his nearing enemy.

"Why do you keep getting up?!" the man striking down at the hound.

His path towards tomorrow, not giving in. Reaching for the smallest light, running down this sorrowful direction. His sounding soul, enduring his pain. Feeling the approaching attack, immediately biting the man's wrist.

Crushing down on his enemy, this excruciating force, wanting his partner's wish to be an actuality. This black world, withstanding its harshness. This hope in him, clashing against his foe, seeking after what is within.

"Argh!! Damn you!"

Resisting the pain, continuously bashing down at the dog. Refusing to relent, the hound firmly gripping the man. His burning eyes, blood streaming down his face. A heart riding along in this streaming wave, pursuing his goal. That man rendering his knee into the animal, this staggering impact.

Letting go of the soldier, falling to the ground in agony. Fury in the man, harshly kicking the dog. Sending him flying across the field, Zeus sliding on the land. Descending rain, the heavily panting man, his tormenting body.

"Damn...I'm getting a demotion for this, having so much trouble with a stupid dog...!" his frustratingly shaking fist.

Making his way towards the animal, the hound's slowly blurring vision. Struggling on the ground, these sentiments within him. Not wanting to give in, this great pain on him. That person person standing before the dog, his blade above. Zeus closing his eyes, unable to resist any longer. Darkness engulfing him, malevolence swirling around. Lying in a black void, Aurora floating in front of her suffering friend.

"Zeus..."

His efforts towards this point, these frustrating sentiments. Steadily fading away, her soft voice trying to reach him. Unable to hear her, feeling someone nearby. This blackness swallowing him more, his numbing agony. Coming far, wanting to bring meaning to the demise of his partner. His tiring body, sinking into the abyss. Trying to focus himself, his slowing reality.

Aurora...?

"Zeus..."

A heart tackling his challenges, raising those from the dead. These connecting hearts, desiring a similar goal. Coming together, forcing against the rationality of others. Wanting his days with another again, that voice becoming clearer, certainty in the dog.

Recognizing this one, his body not properly reacting. Wishing to rest, his blurry vision. Concentrating, the clarifying area. Finding himself beneath a tree, a familiar one looking down at him. That warm shining sun, two within this place.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

Aurora...you have to speak up...I don't hear as well as I used to...

"Zeus...!"

Losing his senses, slowly accepting the outcome. This wonderful place around him, desiring to sleep. His weak body, her voice trying to reach him. Her desperate eyes, that hound focusing his vision. Her image becoming more clear, seeing her concern. Barely able to keep open his vision, his blood soaking the surroundings. Her faith in him, wanting his safety. This one coming far, tackling his conflicts.

Is it those mean people again...? Don't worry...I'll give them a good bite or two...they won't bother you again. Just...let me rest for a bit...just a bit...

"Zeus! Don't give up!"

Huh...?

Protecting her, chasing off others. Two companions in the forest, relishing in the presence of the other. These feelings within him, hearing her voice. This catching his attention, familiar words to him. Focusing on her, his clearing surroundings. A place for two, a meaningful area. His deep despair, spirits around him. Urging him up, his slowly swelling hope, that light bathing him in its warmth.

"Keep fighting Zeus!"

His venture to this point, yearning to punish his enemies. Wanting to bring meaning to his companion's demise, answering the cries of others. These flowing sentiments, his eyes more clear. His vision on Aurora, shifting it to Cyra, shortly moving it to the many spirits. Their visions on him, witnessing his path. That hound's gaze on his partner, the witch desperately reaching out to him once more.

"Zeus! Just a bit more!" Aurora encouraging.

Her message meeting him, his widening vision. Steadily rising to his feet, his low body. Heavily breathing, awareness on his path. His eyes on the witch, hearing her call. One coming in his time of need, this happy realm fading away.

That descending blade from his enemy, his heightening senses. Striking an illusion, a shocking development to the man. Stepping back, his gaze ahead, the rain pouring down.

Standing from a distance, the animal’s low body. Not giving in, blood washing away. Blackness wildly burning from the dog, spirits surrounding him. Urging him onward, these flowing sentiments, shifting into a pure light. His changing fur, shining white.

A swirling force around his back, a blazing black plate. Brushing his paw against his snout, glaring at his enemy. Proudly standing, loudly howling. That devil hearing his cry, faintly smiling, knowing his direction.

"Zeus...your cries...I can hear them..." Aurora's hand to her chest.

"Dammit! You're really pissing me off you damn dog!" charging at the animal.

Evolving for this last challenge, his burning soul. His guiding memories, these blissful feelings. A place for two, yearning for it again. The wishes from many, his willingness to fulfill it, opposing the rationality of his foe.

Dashing onward, illusions in his steps. Clashing against the blade of his opponent, shortly landing on the side. Striking once more, determination in him. Hearing the voice of his companion, continuously pushing onward.

"Damn you!" the furious man.

Zeus, you are never alone, we are all with you. Do not remain in silence, and shout your soul.

These guiding sentiments, his reason to push forward. Racing through blackness, one at the end of this nightmare. Countless along with him, their encouraging voices. His rising feelings, refusing to relent. That enemy swiftly launching an uppercut, sending the hound into the air.

His brightly burning energy, this increasing pressure. A dark energy materializing in front of the man, the descending hound. Not giving in, two mighty powers forcing against the other. This dog pressing against the pentagram, his guiding feelings, remembering the smile of his closest friend.

I have done enough, but before I leave...I will bring meaning to the demise of those who aided me...

His sounding soul, refusing to remain in silence. That man trying to hold his ground, the hound growing stronger. His devastating exertion, blasting away the person. This one crashing down from afar, an animal surpassing him.

That dog spreading his stance, his secreting malevolence. Blanketing the area, mirroring walls surrounding for miles. His enemy looking to each of them, unease from him, the dog reflecting from each of them. Rushing out, striking from every direction.

Binding his target in place, this animal soon standing from a distance. Gathering the last of his energy, charging at his foe. Colliding into the man, releasing this light in him. A memory from his companion, her guiding hand to him. Their bond forming long ago, forever cherishing it.

Aurora...forgive my selfishness...forgive my hatred. I only wanted...a world where you could continuously smile...like the night you found me...

Her pure heart, a gentle hand reaching in, pulling him from the darkness. Her shining presence, wanting to protect it. Wishing for her to smile, his path towards tomorrow. Gathering the support from those no more, their connecting hearts. This clearing light, the hound falling to the ground. Finding himself beneath the tree, the sun shining down. Standing in front of Cyra and Aurora, tears in his eyes.

"Zeus...I know why you did it..." The witch's hands behind her back, warmly smiling at him.

Desiring for her smile, doing his best. Unable to reach her, his failure to protect her. Those dreadful emotions, his aching heart. Wanting to bring meaning to her demise, others joining in.

Reaching forward, opposing the rationality of their enemies. The hound stepping towards her, everything coming to an end. Wishing to be with his old friend again, that demon extending her legendary staff, blocking his direction. His eyes to her, confusingly tilting his head.

"Goddess...?" Aurora uneasily looking towards the devil.

"Is this truly what you desire?" her eyes meeting his own.

Acting on emotions, his purpose for his direction. A witch pleading with the young woman, saving the life of her best friend. This situation on him, his vision to her. Deciding on his path, yearning for togetherness again. His successful mission, bringing meaning to her demise, answering the cries from others. Shifting his gaze to the demon, nodding his assurance to her.

"I see...then I welcome you. You will enter into a contract like Aurora, until you both are worthy to be released from it." Faintly smiling at him.

Not minding, wanting to be with his partner again. That young woman raising her hand to the hound, a black pentagram in front of him. This igniting contract, moving towards him, fading away into him.

Running up to his companion, finally reaching the end of this nightmare. The witch kneeling to her partner, hugging him. His heart no longer in bondage, their adventure continuing after death. Experiencing her embrace again, Zeus whining a bit.

"It's okay...we're together again..." Her soft voice to him.

Hey...Aurora...? I got stronger...I'll keep you safe now. You can rely on me more. Tonight...let's look up at the stars again...just us...

These purely flowing sentiments, a difficult venture at an end. That faintly smiling devil, hearts with the other again. An effort by a dog, bringing ruin in his sorrow. Pushing things forward a bit, commanding his own path.

These wonderful feelings, her hand to her chest, the young woman grateful for her old friend. One diving into the abyss, never giving up. Pulling her to the surface, taking her away from her sadness.

Eternal companions, I know what that is like. Zeus, you shouted your soul, and you were heard. You answered the cries of those no more, pushing this world a bit forward. I welcome you both, death is simply the beginning...
