Chapter 35

The warm morning light engulfed the little wooden shop, Omis's figure could be seen opening the door as he covered his mouth and let out a tired yawn.

Rubbing his still sleepy eyes, Omis went back inside before coming out with his usual chair, placing it near the entrance.

Walking back inside, Omis glanced at the direction of the stairs that led to the second floor. "Addi's probably still sleeping."

Humming a tune, he walked towards the kitchen to prepare something to eat. "I can't understand how can he sleep for so long when at our stage one could simply choose to never do so."

Thinking about it, Omis did indeed feel a little bit strange at the fact that his body did not really require sleep. While his body did not need any food or sleep to stay alive, he did not mind enjoying whatever delicacies that may come his way.

With that in mind, Omis continued on with cooking a simple breakfast for both him and Addi. As he was busy doing so, he was suddenly hit by an extreme case of deja vu, his head started to hurt as if there was a bunch of small needles piercing his brain.

Grabbing his head with both of his arms, Omis grunted as the pain grew sharper causing him to turn dizzy. He stumbled back a few steps with his head held in both of his arms, before tripping and hitting the floor back first.

"ARGGGHHHH!!!"

A loud piercing wail broke the morning silence that had engulfed the small shop. Addi who was resting on the second floor with his eyes closed suddenly woke up startled as he heard Omis's cry.

Not even one second later, Addi's figure teleported to the kitchen, looking at the ground where Omis's collapsed body was, Addi's heart suddenly started beating loudly in his chest.

Quickly rushing towards his friend, Addi gently held him up as he called out in a voice full of panic and distraught. "Omis! Omis! Can you hear me?"

Lightly slapping Omis's cheeks in an attempt to wake him up, Addi called out once again.

"Omis! Stay with me, please talk to me!"

Looking at Omis's unconscious face, Addi was able to see signs of extreme pain and confusion as he tried to wake him up.

"No! No! No! No! No! No!" He screamed as he shook Omis even harder, in another failed attempt to wake him up.

"You bastards! Why?! Don't do this to him! Leave him alone!" Seeing what had happened to Omis made Addi's aura unstable, his eyes that were normal slowly reverted back to their white hollow state as he held Omis close to him.

It was then that Omis's aura slowly started to leak, It was not his usual pure holy one, no, his Qi was extremely chaotic as it leaked out of his body causing the small shop to shake.

"No! No! This can't be happening! Why?! WHY?!" Looking at his surroundings and at Omis whose face still held an expression of pain, Addi quickly made a few hand signs as his willed his own Qi outside of his body and made it form a small shield surrounding the duo, effectively cutting their auras off completely once more.

Inside the small shield, Addi's figure could be seen holding Omis as his white hollow eyes that seemed completely devoid of emotion teared up, with his right hand still shaking he tapped his spacial ring making a sword appear in his hand.

With his right hand holding the sword and his left hand holding Omis, Addi waited as tears quietly fell from his eyes.

"Please Omis, please, don't make me do this, I can't do this again please..." He quietly sobbed.

"Please...I don't think I am strong enough for this."

"I am tired, please don't leave me as well..." He muttered, his eyes teary as he moved the sword closer to Omis's neck.

------------------------------------------------

Omis was confused, one second he was in the kitchen cooking breakfast than a sharp pain made him collapse and when he opened his eyes he was here...

He was still in a kitchen, the only difference was, it was not his? His body felt different, looking down his hand was no longer as white and smooth as it was, his entire body felt heavier? looking down at himself he was wearing unfamiliar clothes, his hand unconsciously moved to his left cheek where his scar should have been, only to find nothing.

"Are you okay?" A young voice broke him out of his trance as he turned his head to face whoever had called him.

Staring back at him was a familiar young face of a young boy who looked to be around ten to eleven years old, he had a very cute face chubby cheeks, jet black curly hair, and dark brown eyes. Omis did not know why his heart suddenly felt heavy as he looked at the young boy who stared back innocently at him.

"Are you okay &#?#@?" The boy called out once more concerned as Omis stared blankly at him.

"W-What did you call me?" Asked Omis, his heartbeat speeding up in his chest as the boy's big dark eyes looked back at him.

"You are being weird &#?#@, You said you were going to teach me how to make breakfast for next time, are you trying to run away from your promise?" Asked the boy as he pouted.

"W-What is this?" Unable to understand what was going on, Omis moved a step back as his eyes gazed on the clean kitchen.

The entire place seemed familiar for some reason and made his heart hurt, as his breathing picked up his chest rose and fell as he tried to calm himself but to no avail. He was forgetting something, but he was unable to recall what exactly, his vision slowly darkened as the little boy stared back at him, his innocent expression slowly morphing into one that shouldn't be on a child.

The young boy's face slowly turned colder and colder as his eyes squinted as he stared at Omis, his lips slowly turned upwards forming an evil mocking smile.

"Where are you going &#?#@? Don't you want to stay with me? Did you not miss me?" Smiled the boy, his dark black eyes slowly turned completely black as his smile turned into an exceedingly evil one.

That wide evil grin was the last thing Omis saw before he descended into the realm of darkness.
