章節 26: Chapter 26: A new beginning
The betrayal suffered by Odrick left him with a shock that was difficult to overcome, but Arthur reached out to him and asked him to become his subordinate, The gratitude that Audric felt towards Arthur because he had saved his life and also because of Arthur's promise that he had re-set a goal for Odrick's life, which had lost its value, made him accept this matter submissively.
That moment when he woke up and saw Victor's body lying next to him and saw the little boy who brought him here sitting in front of the table eating with incredible gluttony, That moment Arthur raised his head, looked at him, stretched out his hand and said calmly.
"Become my follower, and I promise that I will make you take revenge on everyone who hurt you." These resonant words and the warm hand extended towards him were the sign that Odrick had always been waiting for, the happiness he felt and the sense of value that he had lost over the years of slavery Arthur returned to him.
That memory is strangely imprinted in Odrick's mind. Odrick looked at the little boy's back in front of him and made a promise to himself to help him even if he died trying.
Arthur looked at the ocean with his blank gaze, unaware that the words he said on a whim made him receive great appreciation from the giant amphibian behind him, But Arthur is not interested, he does not trust Odrick, and all he seeks to do now is provide transportation to the place where he wants to go.
...…
[After a few hours]
Arthur stood by the sea, carrying several suitcases full of food, some clothes, and also some weapons.
Whistling!
With a strange whistling sound made by Odrick, a giant fish several meters long appeared. Its shape was very strange, a combination of a giant shark and a seal.
Arthur calmly climbed over the fish while Odrick wrapped a few ropes around the fish so that Arthur could hold on to it and his luggage was stowed on the deck of the ship.
Arthur looked at Audric standing on the beach and said:
"I'll be back, so prepare yourself to make me pass into the new world."
"By the way, where Will I find you when I get back?"
Odrick took a sheet of paper out of his pocket and jumped on the back of the giant fish and passed it to Arthur.
When Arthur grabbed the paper he realized what it was, it was a fiver card, with a simple gesture Arthur signaled to Audric that he understood.
Odrick turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly he stopped, turned to Arthur and said in an awkward voice:
"I'm sorry, sir, but I don't know your name yet."
When Arthur heard these words, his features changed strangely and doubts filled his face.
"What is my name?" Arthur was confused because he could not remember his name. During these two years no one called him by his name or used his name, He hadn't thought about it until this moment.
"You don't need to know my name, all you have to know is that I exist," these random words were the only thing Arthur said before leaving.
"You exist," this word kept echoing in Odrick's mind, causing him bewilderment.
.....
The light moonlight illuminated the vast sea in which there are no waves, the reflection of the moon and the stars on the still sea in a view made the sea a mirror of the sky, But some small waves spoiled this enchanting view, A giant fish and with every movement of its fin Sarah swam several meters Forward, above the giant fish stood Arthur spreading his hands.
His silky black hair that extends to his shoulders is manipulated by the wind, his black eyes that look at the moon are shining with its blue light, Arthur took a breath of the cool air of the sea and felt the taste of freedom, no walls surrounding him and no torture awaited him, No fear, no anxiety, only stillness, Arthur's heart was still and relaxed.
"How much I missed this feeling, the feeling of freedom and comfort." Arthur turned and looked behind him as if he could see what lay beyond the distant horizon, Mary Geoise is the land that he swore to himself to return to one day and destroy.
....
Arthur's journey lasted several days and he avoided any ship he saw, his way was a little smooth and he did not face any dangers except trying to swallow the fish he was riding by a sea monster, but he got over it.
Eventually Arthur reached a remote island close to the Pacific belt. There were two reasons that prompted Arthur to look for a place where there are no humans.
First, his desire to avoid the government and the Navy mixing with many people increases the likelihood of his arrest, and his face is now hanging everywhere in the world.
The second and most important reason, Arthur wants to spend some time with himself in order to train and raise his strength and also to reset his thoughts. Arthur has suffered a lot of psychological damage and now he adjusts himself only with difficulty.
Arthur put down his luggage and got off the giant fish. The island that Arthur reached was just an ordinary island full of trees, its total area was almost twenty square kilometers, so it's just a small island, but it's enough for Arthur.
After wandering around the island a little, Arthur found a suitable camping spot. He built a small hut in a primitive way consisting of a set of logs that he tied with a rope that he brought with him so that the structure was covered with a bunch of branches and some giant leaves.
The Shape of the hut was ridiculous but it does the trick, after Arthur put his luggage in the hut, He collected several pegs, sharpened one of their sides with a sharp knife so that they became like spears and fixed them in the ground around the small hut it was just a defensive measure against predators.
"I have to check this island well to see what kind of place I am." Arthur took up a sword and began to wander into the forest, Arthur's body is recovering, so although he is tired and in pain, he can partially fight.
...….
[ A week later ]
Amid the stillness of the night, broken by the sound of the night cricket, which resembles a soloist singing to express his loneliness, the light sea breeze plays with the yellowed leaves of the trees, Arthur sat on the branch of a giant tree, contemplating the starry sky, The Dark Sea sparkling with emeralds radiating light made Arthur feel incredible relief.
Arthur, huh, " Arthur sighed as he said his name in a low voice. This name was the only thing that still connected him with his former world. This name was a gift from his parents, so he decided to keep it to remind him of who he is.
"It's time to start " Arthur stood up and went back towards his little hut, it's been a week since Arthur came to this island, But all this time he did nothing but eat, meditate and sleep, the purpose of this was to make his body and mind return to their normal state, Arthur's body has been treated well, most of his wounds have disappeared, and his right hand has grown almost completely, but his mental state is still very bad.
Every now and then Arthur wakes up screaming, And sometimes he hears the voices of whispering researchers or sees the annoying operating room light. These memories full of physical and mental pain are imprinted in his head and it is difficult to remove them.
The beautiful rays of the sun and its brightness, which made the earth full of vitality, were annoying to Arthur, so he rarely moves during the day and most of the time he spends his day sleeping until the sun goes down, then his activity begins, During the year that Arthur spent in the research facility, the light was a sign that he was in pain, so whenever he saw the light, he felt a little scared and this made him feel uncomfortable and restricted.
He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists so tightly that the blood ran out of them, and with a spiteful voice full of anger he said:
"Wait for me, I'll come back and I'll take revenge on you."
The ignorant government of the world is unaware that a crazy monster has been released and is now free to reveal its fangs in secret while licking its wounds, The king who will spread his darkness over the government and illuminate the hearts of the oppressed with stars of hope.
