Chapter 3
Hendrix
So, my work is finally done?
Provat
Yes. Thank you for your hard work.
Hendrix
(Ah… I'll finally get to rest in peace)
Ratri
HE, the Almighty, will bestow upon you his blessings for helping in purifying the evil, and grant you a wish.
Provat
What do you want, my child?
Hendrix
I want to dîë. [Immediate answer]
Hendrix
Yes. Salvation, to be more clear.
He wore a confident and determined expression. He knew what he wanted and didn't hesitate to demand it. Yet the eyes of such a strong man was devoid of any life. As if he lost his soul.
Hendrix
(It's already been more than hundreds of years. I don't even remember how many lives I've lived. If I failed, everything kept repeating. The endless cycle of pain... I want this hell to end...)
Provat and Ratri nodded at each other in confirmation. Then both the gods clasped their hands and prayed.
A brilliant light surrounded them for a few moments. After it disappeared they looked at the warrior.
Provat
HE granted your wish, for HE is benevolent.
Ratri
But first, you have to complete your life cycle.
Hendrix
What does that mean?!
Provat
We don't know. Only HE is all-knowing.
Ratri
"You'll know once you wake up." That's HIS message.
The last straw of sanity broke as the words spoken by the gods felt nothing but absurd to him.
Hendrix
THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!!!
Hendrix
FIRST YOU BRING ME HERE FOR YOUR PROBLEMS! AND NOW THAT I'M DONE HELPING YOU, YOU'RE THROWING ME AWAY?!
Hendrix
I JUST WANTED ONE SIMPLE THING!!!
Hendrix
WHY IS IT SO HARD TO GIVE ME THAT?!!
Provat
My child, it's not like that!
Hendrix
THEN WHAT EXACTLY IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!
Ratri
Ah.. We.. We can't say. Only HE knows.
Hendrix was breaking down. He couldn't handle it anymore.
Both the gods were panicking. It was the first time ever they saw him like this. Even at his lowest at first he used to cry in silence, later he kept his calm and moved forward.
He never screamed or broke down like this. It became evident how much he wanted everything to end.
So, they didn't know what to do.
It only took a couple of moments, and he became calm like before.
Hendrix
Let's proceed with whatever this büllshît is.
Hendrix
I don't care anymore.
A sound of bell, burning light rays, the feeling of floating in air, a very soft and sweet fragrance, this comfortable warmth... he remembers these. For this is how he was brought to the twin gods. This was the beginning of his hellish life. And now he was leaving just like this.
He didn't know where he'll end up going but unlike before, now he didn't show any concern. His mind was silent.
Provat
Goodbye, my child, be happy.
Ratri
May your journey be comfortable.
Their voice was drifting in the air as he gradually lost his consciousness.
Tristan wasn't expecting much.
He thought he'll end up living a new life as Hendrix just like how it has been for centuries.
Yet he was here. In his first ever life, where even in his wildest dream he never thought he'll be able to go back to.
Tristan Smith
I pushed Liam off the stairs. Matthew saw. He tried to catch him. Accidentally pushed me. So, I fell.
Tristan Smith
(Karma's a bîtçh)
The blessing of god of memories is quite helpful. It made all of his memories crystal clear. Even though it's from a very long time ago.
Xavier Smith
If you wanted to get rid of someone you should have come to me.
