After they picked me up they brought me some open place because I could feel as the wind was playing with my hair. I could also hear hundreds or thousands of people from the distance. Ever since my ear was cut my hearing got worse and as time went by it got even worse.

My head was put onto something but only my head. My legs and my arms were chained again.

???: And now. The final act begins. The execution.

Wenly: What? Will I be executed? At least I can meet my friends in the other world.

I feel as someone leans close to me. That person was probably the executioner.

executioner: I am going to enjoy your exaction. I will make it extra painful and slow for you.

???: Let the slave of the devil be executed.

As I heard these words my hearing disappeared. I couldn't hear anything. Not even the mass of people. Not even the blow of the wind. I could hear nothing. I was deaf.

Somehow my eyes filled with tears and I started crying without a sound. I felt as my tears flow down my hair.

Wenly: Why am I crying? I should be happy. I can finally meet my master again.

But then a new thought came into my mind.

Wenly: NO! I am a failure. I should have fought even after my last breath have left my body. Master save me for a reason. He sacrificed himself for worthless trash like me. I shouldn't be allowed to wish for death. This is not the time to cry. I must do something so that my master could be proud of me. I...

Someone interrupted me. I felt a warm and gentle touch. Someone patted me. I was lifted up and hugged by that person. The person was hugging me with one hand and that person was patting my head with their other hand. I could feel the person's heartbeat. It wasn't a heartbeat of someone who wants to kill me. It was a familiar and friendly heartbeat. Like I have heard it before.

Suddenly my hearing came back and got better and better. I opened my eyes and I could see shades but it was more then I could see before. Soon my vision got even better and I could see where I was. It was an arena. I was being held by a person who was wearing a white T-shirt and black shorts. The person looked sone dressed for running. I could feel as my body was completely healed. The man stopped patting me and he put me down.

My vision wasn't perfect yet but it was getting better and better. I looked at the person's shirt. It was covered with blood. I slowly scanned his torso then looked at his face. But before I could have taken a good look at his face he put his hand to my head and patted me again.

???: Don't cry. Everything is going to be fine. I am back.

He let go of my head and I had a clear view of his face. My eyes yet again filled with tears.

Wenly: MASTER!!

Suddenly lightning struck something outside of the arena and the sky turned red. I looked back at my Master. Now his whole body was covered with blood. His nose was destroyed and his eyes were missing.

Wenly: Master!!?? Are you alive?

Gob: You dare asking?

Wenly: Master?

Gob: Oh, it seems it was so insignificant that you have already forgotten what I have done to you and what you have done to me.

Wenly: Master I don't understand?

Gob: I sacrificed myself so that you can live.

Wenly: I am greatf...

Gob: Yet you don't even care about my deduction.

Wenly: But...

Gob: I AM THE ONE WHO SPEAKS!

Wenly: I am sorry Master.

Gob: It seems saving your pathetic life was a waste of time. I should have left you to die.

Wenly: ...

Gob: As soon as you had the fortune to die by the hands of the enemy you accepted that hadn't you?

Wenly: No. You are wrong, Master.

Gob: Wrong? You are saying that you didn't wish to see me as soon as you were brought to be executed?

Wenly: I ...

Gob: See. You don't deserve to be called my slave.

Wenly: Master, I am begging you, please forgive me.

Gob: Tell me. Why did you want to die so badly?

Wenly: ...

Gob: You are a spineless worm. So tell me. WHY. DID. YOU. WANT. TO. DIE?

Wenly: B-b-b.

Gob: Spit it out. Do not stutter!

Wenly: Because I love you, Master!

Gob: I see. It seems your wish will come true.

Wenly: ???

He grabbed my neck and lifted me up. His grip started slowly closing on my neck.

Gob: Here is your reward.
