Fragile Phantasy

Part 21

He simply wants people to truly accept him and be proud of his abilities to not feel judged by others trough his shortcomings. Deep inside his heart he yearns to have some place that he could feel he belonged and appreciate him for what he truly is, he was happy after having a glimpse of it for a moment.

as he trudged up the mountain, he couldn't help but feel that he would never find such a place again. He had lost too much and failed too many times. First with Doc, and now with Edgar. He was powerless to protect the things he valued most, and they slipped through his fingers like sand.

As he climbed higher, the wind grew stronger, whipping his hair into his face and making his eyes water. He thought of the dagger in his pocket and the abyss that awaited him at the edge of the cliff.

As he reached the top of the mountain, he stopped to catch his breath and looked out at the world below. It was a beautiful sight, but all he could see was his own failure and inadequacy. He accepted the harsh truth, maybe they were right. Maybe he was just a loser, good for nothing, and an unlucky plague.

Max sat on his throne, bored and indifferent to the corpses of those he had killed. He toyed with their lifeless bodies, unaware of the impending danger heading his way. Suddenly, he noticed two figures approaching him - Kryge on the right and Yunya on the left. Both were wrapped in powerful magic, overflowing and pulsing with energy.

Yunya's gaze was sharp as she advanced towards Max, her dress made of diamond ice gradually dissolving into sparkling diamond dust as she came into close with the tower that Max had created that absorbs magic.

Kryge, on the other hand, wore a full-faced grin as he advanced towards Max, his body enveloped in flames that took the form of a mighty phoenix, with searing wings on his back and flaming sharp talons on his hands and feet. As he approached, the flames gradually turned into ash and smoke, absorbed by the tower that Max had built.

Despite their differences, Kryge and Yunya shared a common goal - to kill Max. they will not budge with or without magic, they are determined to dethroned max.

They attacked at the same time, fueled by their overflowing determination and anger. Max knew that this was going to be his toughest battle yet.

"I'm the only one who has the right to sit there!" Kryge shouted, his spear striking out.

Yunya, cold and serious, attacked from the other side, her sharp gaze never leaving Max's face.

Max was thrilled by the challenge. His thirst for blood was palpable as he grinned at his attackers. "This would entertain me for a little bit," he said excitedly, ready for the fight of his life.

And so the battle began, a clash of magic and willpower that would shake the very foundations of the other world.

The tower continued to absorb energy, causing those weaker than Max to fall to the ground, including KC's friend Andok and the young beggars edgar adopted. Adelie, who had already weakened, struggled to remain upright as the tower absorbed more and more of there life energy.

KC stood atop the mountain, his mind consumed by thoughts of ending his life. tears streaming down his face, he couldn't help but feel like he was at his lowest point. He had been ready to end it all, to give up on everything he held dear, he had come to believe that he was nothing but a burden to those around him, that his very existence was cursed. His eyes were filled with tears as he held the watch that had been his only source of power, his only connection to his dear friend Doc.

He held the watch in his shaking hand, his anger boiling over as he screamed into the silence of the mountainside. "Sorry, Doc. Even with the power of the watch, I'm still a loser."

He was about to throw the watch in a fit of anger, but before he could throw it, he heard the voice of his dear friend Doc. The sound was like a ray of light piercing the darkness of his despair. . A voice, faint and distant, whispered in his ear. It was Doc's voice, coming from the watch "Kc if you took the watch off I'm sure you can hear this, even if the watch has no energy this part won't disappear" Overwhelmed by emotion, KC fell to his knees, tears pouring down his face. He couldn't believe that he was hearing Doc's voice once again, after everything that had happened. The watch had stopped working, but Doc's words still managed to reach him.

KC fell to his knees, clutching the watch to his chest as he listened to Doc's words. Doc's soothing words continued to pour from the watch, filling KC's heart with a newfound sense of hope.

"I'm sure at this time your giving up and losing hope," Doc said. KC nodded his head, his tears flowing like a river. "No matter what bad things you think about yourself, remember that it's not true, you have the ability to give hope, Despite all your flaws and failures, you had the power to inspire others, to make a difference in this world. Don't be stopped by the fear of what others will think of you, and dont be discourage if they might treat you a loser, your much more than that"

KC's jaw trembled as if it was broken from crying so much, and he couldn't stop all his sobs from escaping his lips. "Kc remember this, because of you, I was able to create amazing things, you have something great inside you, you just have to,,,"

Before Doc could finish what he was going to say, the watch suddenly cracked, breaking into countless pieces. but it didnt matter kc smile as he understood the message without hearing it whole.

After hearing docs message, a rush of emotions surged within him. At that moment, his eyes fell upon Edgar's dagger, a relic that held the memories of all the children he considered family, and see his name was engraved at the end a symbol he was accepted to the family. A slight smile appeared on his face, his eyes brimming with tears of joy.

KC's heart swelled with a newfound sense of purpose. He straightened up, wiped away his tears, and replaced his sadness with a newfound determination. He knew that he had to return to the capital to make things right.

"You were right, Doc. I was searching for my values on others, and I forgot about the most important thing," KC said to himself as he gathered everything he could use around him, recalling all the teachings and lessons he learned from his dear friend.

Although he didn't have all the answers, KC was certain of what he wanted. He wanted to fix his mistakes and protect the people who were important to him, With renewed vigor, he began collecting everything he could use from the surrounding to journey back to the capital.
