Walk of Purgatory [8]

Harin was the name of the woman who showed Atlas the meaning of love and compassion.

Telaris was the name of the man who showed him brotherhood and camaraderie. 

Those were the very first two people in the life he used to lead who showed him kindness in a world that was otherwise dark. 

After he lost the village folk, their faces became a blur in his mind. He could never separate them from the scene of their corpses, so his mind chose such a solution to cope. 

These two…

For these two it was the same. For all of those he saw after them, it was the same. 

Over the ten thousand years of life he'd led, he'd met countless friends and made countless genuine connections, but there weren't many times when he was able to repay those people for what they did for him.

And, there was an embarrassing number of times when he'd failed them completely.
