Chapter Thirteen

Theo

My mother used to always tell me that every man has his fate written in the stars. A long time before I was born, every little moment I would go through was paved. Many paths are set for every man’s fate, but eventually which path I took would be my choice.

I don’t know if I ever believed in the sort of predestination that Matilda believed in. However, her words were carved in the core of my heart and mind. She told me that throughout this fate and destiny that I would live, many people would come and go and each would serve a specific purpose.

She made sure to tell me that I wasn’t the center of the world, that people weren’t made just to serve their purposes in my life, but that their help to me was an accident of their own lives.

As I lay underneath the mountains, crawling back to consciousness, I thought of all of those things that she used to say. I was feeling the effect of Bernard’s words in every bone. I heard echoes of his voice.

“Weakness isn’t falling down. It’s failing to get back up.” I heard his voice through the mountains.

There was no change in his voice. It was as if it came from the very depths of my mind and resurfaced in the mountains. At the first moments of the haze, I looked for his dark figure around me, but nothing was there.

Was it too selfish of me to ask for help? Maybe, because I had Bernard, Matilda, and Elise, all contribute to the making of this soul that I bore within me. All of them, too, weren’t around me, but their voices and faces lingered on in my weary mind.

I had to find my way back home, and to the castle to save Elise. As reckless and stubborn as I was, I was thinking that all I needed to pursue my destiny was already within me, but I was wrong. And I had to be defeated by the king to understand that my power wasn’t as infinite as I thought it to be.

When I started making my way outside of the mountains, I was in agony. Physical pain was breaking me into pieces, but the anger that was raging within me was like a storm that I could never weather on my own.

I needed something to guide me, but I surely wasn’t looking for a guide. All I wanted was to go back, and that was where my body was leading me.

However, when I reached the village that was destroyed by my brawl with the king, nobody was there. It was as much a graveyard as every other place we had annihilated on our way there.

I walked around with a shoulder that was broken and immovable.

“Theo.” A man’s voice came from somewhere in the village.

It was too dark for me to see anyone or anything. There was one torch flame that was lit at a corner by the hills. I made my way there, knowing that the voice had come from over there.
