Chapter of Slavery, Episode 11: Overload

I looked up at the sky as it grew lighter. The river had turned brown in the rainy season, and it churned loudly with its water level having risen up to the rock I was sitting on. It was flowing with much more intensity than usual, and much of the riverbed had been swallowed by the turbid waters.

I glanced over to see the unconscious Zarish laying in the shade of a rock. He must have had quite a traumatizing experience, considering there wasn’t a single wound on him despite his pale face. Judging by the way he was groaning, he wasn’t having a very good dream. It was about six in the evening in Japan by now. As the thought crossed my mind, a voice spoke to me via Mind Link Chat.

“Hm, it appears you have been thinking of this since the beginning.” The draconian didn’t sound sleepy despite it being dawn already. In fact, there was a gentle, motherly tone in her voice. I felt the fingers around the hilt of my sword tremble slightly at her words.

“I guess nothing gets by you, Wridra. Are the other two asleep?”

“...Indeed. They look quite peaceful. They have been boisterous so late in the night. Hah, hah, their slumbering faces are beginning to make me sleepy myself.” I let out a sigh of relief. I didn’t want them to see what I was about to do.

“You have the voice of a man. I thought of you as a runt, but you have grown to be so reliable before I knew it.”

“It’s not like that. It turns out I have a short temper. You never know what a guy like me will do in a fit of rage.” The dragon chuckled, and then we both exhaled at the same time. Our early-morning sigh sounded exactly alike despite the distance between us. She was likely looking up at the white sky along with me. Maybe that was why my next words for her were so full of honesty.

“Thank you, Wridra. For not getting in between me and Zarish that day.”

“I am not keen on the subtleties of human interactions. I merely thought it was a necessary ordeal for you to go through. Though, it was out of intuition rather than any logic on my part.” I truly appreciated it. Had I let him be back then, I probably would have regretted it even now, even as we were out having fun or doing anything else. And even if Wridra had defeated him for me, it still would have stuck with me. The shame of pushing all of the dirty work onto her would have stayed with me the entire time.

So this stage was for me. Maybe what I was about to do was just cruelty for the sake of my own satisfaction. But there was no way I could’ve turned back now.

I placed my hand on the hilt of my sword once again. I set my resolve to end his life once and for all.
