Still On The Losing Side

I, Mika Elbar, reached a new low.

I was determined and proclaimed that I would get strong enough to get my revenge on Dreyar and protect those dear to me. But where am I now?

I may have achieved my revenge but I still feel empty after killing Dreyar.

Wait. Empty was the wrong word.

After all, I could not have the feeling of almost losing myself now if I were feeling empty inside.

Harik. Lereon. Lisa. Cylia. Ophelia. Olivia. Rachel. Belian. Sara. Elsa. Lily. Sylvia.

I lost everyone whom I swore to protect.

They were close and yet, I was not able to reach them when I had to. After spending two years away from most of them, I was finally able to reunite with them but it felt like a fleeting moment before they disappeared from my sight.

'Let's go on a trip together once the war is over!'

I'm sorry...! If I hadn't involved you in this and sent you somewhere safe like initially planned, then you wouldn't have died...!
