Now I rest

"Paichi…" Theo whispered as he reached out toward what he assumed to be the corpse of his senior at the sect. 

But his injuries were quickly catching up with him. Before he could as much as properly extend his arm out, the weakness overtook him, causing the young man's arm to plummet down to the ground. 

The explosion of his spell consumed most of the corpses and debris in front of him while the shockwave pushed away most of the trash behind him. Yet, even with how it snuffed most of the flames around, Theo could feel how the hot air was nearly scalding his skin. 

'Brother…' 

With his mind muffled by the pain, Theo hung on the sole idea of reaching his fallen savior. 

If not for Paichi, the bullying at the sect wouldn't stop. If not for Paichi, the strike of a spear would take him down before he could even reach Kaya…

'I wonder if she got to escape,' Theo thought, right as he tried to ignore all the pain and reach out.
