Bittersweet

~I love you...even though nothing I did ever made you feel that way. My mind's fallen apart and I realised it didn't just start when I met you. But it broke into a million intangible pieces...the moment I made those tears fall down your cheeks.~ Akhenaten.

"Attack!" They all pointed their drawn swords at him.

Before Aria could move to shield Akhenaten so Eros could order them to stop, Akhenaten had moved around her faster than she could blink, slitting the throat of two of the rebels.

The others came charging one after the other and Akhenaten disembowelled three of them.

The remaining two charged at him, Akhenaten blocked the attack of one with his sword and gripped his neck...breaking it.

He turned to the last one and slit his throat.

Their body fell cold to the floor—all seven of them.

Akhenaten grip tightened on his sword as he straightened. Aria noticed he winced a little as he did so.
