"any last good bye words?" The man asked in mocking tone, his mouth curling up, his fangs glowing in the dark while his face was too close to yozrasef.
yozrasef could almost see his reflection through the guard's eyes that were glowing in purple hue.
Taking step back, as the guard leaned over to him, there was afew meters of space between yozrasef and the wall behind him.
The minute he stepped back reaching the wall, the guard charged at yozrasef throwing a punch towards his face.
Yozrasef's eyes glowed- he felt the threat coming from that punch that is coming in his direction, he felt as if he gets punched by that fist, his skull will be crushed with the wall.
Yozrasef took a step, floundering his way to the left evading the incoming punch, he continued to roll over the ground to make enough distance between him and the guard.
turning his head, he saw the wall cleave in as the guard fist shattered and formed a hole in the wall.
If he was one second late, his head would have been crushed.
"Oh look- our little monster knows how to evade, yes those instincts, you felt you could die if you got punched by that fist right?" The guard mocked yozrasef, maniac laugh escaped his mouth at the end of his sentence as he took his fist out of the wall, tiny rocks falling on the ground, the guard started to take step forward towards yozrasef.
Walking slowly, the guard spoke again snapping yozrasef back into reality.
" I dont understand-why are you even fighting? What are you even holding on for? You are trapped!" He paused for a second, his face darkened as the knuckles of his hands cracking, his eyes locked on with yozrasef's glowing crimson eyes, that flickered a since of determination to fight his way out.
" This- fucking light of hope in your eyes-"
" I promise-i promise you, it will fade today"
The guard stated, a growl escaped his mouth, his face twisted in fury, he charged at yozrasef, the ground cracked where his feet kicked off, his eyes glew intensely.
Yozrasef still his face was as expressionless as it has been, his head was throbbing with thoughts as to how to get out of that situation, his space is limited and the only way out is to find the keys to the bars but obviously there are no keys here, he is trapped with a maniac that wants to kill him for god knows why.
'think, think, think if i can find something to blind- him- i found it' yozrasef immediately looking at the rocks that fell from the gard's fist strucking the wall.
Yozrasef measured the distance between him and the guard the rocks.
'4 meters to the left, evade by 2 inches, 4 seconds each execution, no room for failure' yozrasef immediately executed his plan, he charged at the guard's direction in attempt to startle the guard.
The guard startled by yozrasef change of behaviour, he slowed down for second to comprehend yozrasef's action, but that second was everything yozrasef hoped for, yozrasef dashed down grabbing the pile of small tiny rocks.
Rolling over the ground to his left side, Twisting his back, he straightened his position to evade the guard's right foot that was to step on the middle of his back aiming to crush him.
the guard aimed to step on yozrasef's back but since yozrasef evaded his foot, the foot struck the ground leaving a tiny crater on the ground.
Holding tightly the tiny rocks in his right hand, yozrasef threw the rocks at the guard, twisting his left leg along his upper body along with the movement of his arm gave enough force for the rocks to struck the guard.
due to the suprised attack and failing to recognise yozrasef intentions, the guard dodged a few but one rock has strucked his left eye, leading him to bleed.
The blood poured out of his eye completely ruining his eye sight, holding his eye in pain, he yelled in anger.
" You damned!- I swear i will kill you-"
but before he could continue his curse and threat, yozrasef came from behind wrapping the iron chain of his right arm around the guards neck, chocking the guard.
The guard tried to pull the iron chain forward to release it but he couldn't as yozrasef started to step backward after wrapping the iron chain of his left arm in the opposite direction, locking them tightly together as he stepped backwards pulling tightly hard on his neck.
Then afew seconds passed the guard fell on his knees, fumming, his eyes went backwards.
Yozrasef still didnt know if the man is dead or passed out but he knew if he doesnt finish the guard now, the guard will kill him.
yozrasef looked around him the his gaze fell on huge rock on the ground, he grabbed a huge rock from the ground, holding it with both of his hands, he reached the guard, looking at the guard, yozrasef felt nervous.
'killing someone-shit-shit! If i dont do it, im dead as well!! please im doing this to protect myself' yozrasef yelled internally, his mind stormed with guilt and panick, he felt wronged for attempting such a thing.
Taking a deep breath to calm and ease his panick
He looked at the guard one last time, then he closed his eyes.
' remember، that guy isnot your guard, he is the man who wanted to kill you' yozrasef thought to himself in attempt to rationalize the situation and cause of this thought, his demeanour immediately changed.
Something in his being snapped inside of him.
The whole situation was too intense, indeed.
Opening his glowing crimson eyes and through his eyes, his vison blurred, the flicker of nervousness and panick in his expressionless face disappeared, the discomfort in his eyes along with innocence started to disappear.
He looked at the guard head then he pushed his hand downward, smashing the heavy rock on his head.
The rock smashed the guard's head like nothing from how heavy the force behind yozrasef's arms movement.
Yozrasef fell on his knees, sweat pouring down from his forehead.
He turned his gaze back to the lifeless corpse of guard, he realized he just killed someone.
His hands slid through his head, clutching it- in disbelief.
He wanted ro deny his vile act of killing.
But unfortunately, he couldn't cause He truly killed someone.
'why the fuck did it have to end like this!??' cursing internally, the pupil in his kept zooming in and out.
He was having internal conflict, conflict whether he acted on instinct to survive or he acted on the pure sense of finishing off his opponent.
Conflict where he is killer or not, self doubt type of guilt.
But then he tried to rationalize what he has done, at the end he closed his eyes and remindd himself that if he didnt fight and kill him, the guy would have killed him.
He only did that as an act of self defense.
'is it truly self defense..?'he thought.
Still he felt fear and vulnerable.
But most importantly, he felt like he needs to throw up.
So he did.
After throwing up, yozrasef looked beyond the bars, his gaze fell on the light in the middle of the darkness, his eyes slowly closing.
He felt tired.
The world again turning dark.
And yozrasef fell asleep.
After what seemed like a day yozrasef woke up, his hand twitched on the harsh-rockish ground, he felt pain in his neck groaning, he felt tired.
Forcing himself up, yozrasef's gaze fell on the light beyond the bars once again, he felt the urge to escape the bars but still he was chained to the wall.
Sighing internally, he looked at the corpse beside him, still feeling nauseous he turned his gaze to the left and thats when he found the other corpse, the other group.
Yozrasef approached the corpse, started to inspect the body of the corpse, hoping if he could find something useful.
The guard wore the basic armor of a third-rate soldier, first layer would be thin white sheet covering his whole body covered by black rope knited with golden lines, the black rope would be tied by belt, the belt would be designed to carry two weapons, straight sword and dagger, but for the clueless yozrasef who has lost huge part of his memory, he doesn't care.
Inspecting his body he wouldn't find a sword but dagger, taking of the belt, yozrasef would wrap it around his waist but as he does the rope would open alittle revealing the white sheet under the black rope, through the revealed part yozrasef could see that there is a wound.
A deep wound visible on the guard's chest revealing the solid ground behind his back
Disgusted by what he witnessed, yozrasef would look away, his face twisted in disgust and as he did, he remembered the guard the other day and what he said when he woke up.
' he said that i got stabbed in the back as we were running from the revolutionaries- but there is no wound on me but this guard- this is fucking headahce' yozrasef cursed in his head.
The situation is indeed peculiar.
Feeling frustrated, he took a deep breath turning his head the other direction, his gaze fell again on the light beyond the bars.
'lets focus now on how to get out of here and figure this place out'.
Yozrasef turned his head towards the wall, the wall he was tied to by the chains and shackles, he traced back the chain to find where he was tied, looking carefully through darkness on the wall, he traced down with his hands to reach the first part of the shackles and he found it.
Touching the nail carefully, a nail was anchored to the wall tieing him, upon his touch yozrasef the iron leaving some kind of dust on his finger, its as if the nail is wearing out but to the clueless yozrasef, he wouldn't understand that this nail is rusted, due to the humidity in the place and old structure of the prison.
But he felt that he could cause enough damage on the ground and take the nails off, freeing himself, despite how its feeling, yozrasef believed in it, through out the last incident, yozrasef has been using his instinct to survive, so he would use it again to free himself.
He looked underneath him and found small rock, their size is big enough to fit his hand, he grabbed the rock and hold it firmly, turning his gaze, his gaze fell on the dagger on his left side, unsheathing the dagger with his left hand, yozrasef got the idea.
Looking at the tiny gaps on the wall around the rusted nail, yozrasef would thrust his dagger in and hammer the handle with the rock, to give it enough force to cause enough damage to wall.
So yozrasef took on the action, excuting his idea right away, over time, the wall experienced some changes, rocks start to pile down from the dammged wall, revealing the nail structure more and more.
Rust filled the air along the smell of sweat, foul stench filled the air.
As time went by, the ticking sound of metal clicking, finally the nail fell down on the floor, yozrasef's hand has been freed.
The glow of his crimson eyes intensified, feeling his freedom almost coming to him, he got excited and started to get to the next action, as hours passed, yozrasef finally freed himself, he started with his shackled right arm then his left shackled arm then his shackled right leg and then ended with his left shackled leg.
He felt excited at first but soon he realized something he didnt think much, the shackles are still attached to his body, he felt heavy despite his sense of freedom but still he thought of way to solve the issue.
He threw away the rock and sheathed back his dagger, looking at his right hand, he grabbed the chains that its still tied to it and started to wrap it around his entire arm, from his knuckles to his wrists, locking the chains with the shackles he has taken out from the wall.
Then he did the same to the rest of his body limps that got shackles tied to it.
Obviously, yozrasef felt heavy but still there was no other way out for him to hanlde the issue of movement other than this.
As he was enjoying his tiny accomplishment of freeing himself, foul stench reached his nostrils.
Turning behind him, yozrasef, felt the stench coming from the corpses, apparently the flesh is starting to rotten.
Yozrasef felt disgusted by the smell, it was unbearable.
So the only way out of there was to get through the iron bars but 'how' is the question.
Yozrasef looked at the iron bars, as he started to approach it thinking and as he did, the shackles clicked together causing noises.
Reaching the iron bars, yozrasef felt the humidity through the bars.
They left the same dust on his hand as we know the iron bars were all rusted.
Yozrasef came to the conclusion since the iron bars released the same texture of dust on his, he could damage it the same way but 'how' is the question here.
As his right touched the bars, the shackles covering his knuckles touched the bars cause click noice.
Looking at that yozrasef got an idea, he release the shackles of his right arm and wrapp it around one of the rust spots of one of the bars and starts yank the shackles on the bar with enough force.
As time passed, blood dripped from yozrasef's hands, the smell of iron, blood and rhe rotten corpse filled the air, it was very toxic and unbearable environment and despite that yozrasef kept going.
As time passed, what seemed an hour, half of the bar has been cut but it was still holding firmly.
So yozrasef continued for another hour.
After an hour passed yozrasef finally cut the bar down, yozrasef looked at the bar, half of the bar still attached to the ceiling of he prison but still and the other that was attached to the ground has been cut , throwing it away, yozrasef measured the distance and space between the bars.
he felt he wouldnt fit to slide through.
But touching the bar beside the one that was cut, yozrasef felt like he would be able to push it to the side if he used enough force due to the iron bar being worn out by the humidity of the prison and so yozrasef applied enough force against the bar and pushed it to the left side making enough space for him to slide and twist.his body out of the prison.
Crouching his body, he slid under the cut bar and twisted his upper body out, stabbing his right hand through the muddy ground, he pulled himself out while groaning, sliding the rest of his body from underneath the cut bar.
So yozrasef got out, wrapping again the chains of his right hand, he started moving.
Standing up on his two feet, yozrasef heaved heavily, as his gaze sweeped behind him.
'finally...im out-' his internal thoughts were cut down immediately as his gaze sweeped from his left to the rest of the entirety if the place..
They were all prison caves, all of 6 prison in this place, had corpses inside of them.
Inspecting carefully, all of the corpses has rotten.
He went inside one of the prison cave, checking on the wall behind one of rhe corpses.
He found his writting on the ground and turmoil went through yozrasef as realization hit him.
' first day- i killed my broher
Second day- i ate his flesh-'
Yozrasef couldn't continue reading, this being has made atrocious actions that he would be beheaded if he wasnt locked up in prison in god knows where.
Yozrasef turned his head in disgust to the left and started to inspect the other prison room it was all the same as the previous one, yozrasef felt heavy but hen reliefed, he felt he was lucky and thankful for trusting his intuition and instinct.
One thing yozrasef noticed.
one peculiar thing about the structure of the place, there was no secret doors, there was no stairs, the the whole structure was shaped into a circle and the only source of light was the huge hole in the ceiling.
'then how did we get in this place?-'
he asked himself internally, his head storming with thoughts and questions then it was all cut off the minute Yozrasef approached the light and stood in the middle of the of the place.
He looked at the floor trying to handle the light, relaying on his shadow to form a sense of structure of the place but the light was so intense it was hindering his vision.
Then he tried to face the light head on.
He tried to raise his head, looking at the hole and what was beyond.
yozrasef's eyes fully opened.
There was nothing just empty white space.
Then what happened later, was unexpected.
Yozrasef body started to evaporate, fading within the vey fabric of space.
At first, he started to panick, screaming for help until the voice entered his head, claiming his attention.
"Candidate has been selected.
Year number- 1000.
Ancient year timing- the second day of creation.
Name of the candidate: yoz-ra-sef."
with this,
yozrasef fully evaporated within the fabric of reality, for the first time, his expressionless facade disappeared causing him to appear more human, leaving his panicked face mixed with fear and realization behind.
All that was left nothing but a speck of dust.
