gOD OF CONFUSION II

MEGAMI

The acclaimed Sonaki warriors stormed into the village, with arrows, swords, and iron rods. I tried to help but couldn't. I was helpless. The children are being carried away from their parents, and the parents are killed if anyone tries to fight; their heads will be smashed by the iron rod. I wondered Is this how the war was done in the past? Why kill people who speak the same language as you? All in the name of superiority.

Just to let them know you have power over them, the Sonaki people should never have existed in this place. Arrows of fire still shot at the houses, and fire took down people's homes. Even if the war had ended today, there wouldn't be any houses to live in. Why will this Megami lead this man into her peaceful village? Is she that daft? She even chose to die for him. There is more to this because they are clearly confused.

The little girl who was playing before ran to the dying Megami.

"Please tell them to go, I don't want my mom to die," the little girl said, trying to wake Megami, and the Sonaki warriors dragged her. and slit her neck in Megami and dying Yuuma's presence.

Yumma sluggishly took his knife and cut the snake bite injury on his leg, which stopped him from walking freely. He drew his sword and used his warrior vest to cover the dead Megami. Some Sonaki soldiers advanced towards him to fight.

"If you didn't run away for a week, we wouldn't have seen this village, we traced you for days until we find here," the warrior leader said as he walked to Yuuma.

"Your reign has ended, Yuuma," another warrior said.

"I can't believe I clothed you and picked you up from the trash that you will betray me.?" Yuuma said it coldly while holding a sword.

"This is why I couldn't listen to you anymore, you see!! You kept on reminding me every day that you picked me up from the trash!!" The warrior leader pointed his sword at Yuuma.

"You decided to give Ruko the head of the group instead of me, who started first. I can fight more than him. I also have wealth. But that useless Ruko will rule me! Now, Yuu-chan your little sister, will rule Sonaki." The warrior's head said laughing. And Yuuma laughed.

"So Yuu-chan allowed you to climb her bed; that was why you betrayed your master? I always knew you weren't smart enough to rule the group; I never knew you could be downgraded to a bed warmer!!" Yuuma said, laughing, and the bed warmer used his stick to hit Yuuma's leg, and he grunted in pain.

"Ahhhhh!" Yuuma fell on one leg and bent to the ground.

"You, the great Yuuma, is nothing now but a dying puppy. Once Yuu-chan is crowned queen, I will be king," the bed warmer said, raising his hands to his head and making a crown shape with his hands. I literally thought he was crazy.

"Bow to your former king, Yuuma," he said, and the other bowed to Yuuma mockingly.

"You are just being used by Yuuchan as a tool to get the throne. She always loved Ruko; every time she visited the barracks was to watch Ruko train; it was never for you. Stop deceiving yourself," Yuuma said proudly. The bedwarmer laughed.

"What about you? You don't know what is going on!! Everybody knows you are dying today. Queen Mother and your half-siblings. They planned this to send you to war and me killing you in the war, and it will be like you died while fighting. Even your childhood sweetheart, everybody is against you!!! You acted like a king when you weren't crowned yet. A crown prince that can never be king!! " The bed warmer said mockingly.

"Ruyiko!!! You betrayed me, and I will make you pay with your life."Yuuma said as he advanced, grabbed one of the warriors, and slit his throat.

(Author: Yuuma is the strongest warrior and the crowned prince to be king of Sonaki so he is very strong and heavily built.)

"Yuuma, you don't have to fight. Don't stress yourself. Just die now and rest forever. Your small savior is dead already. Just go along and accompany her," Ruyiko, the bed warmer, said. and Yuuma looked back at the dead Megami, and immediately the warriors attacked Yuuma. They hit him with an iron rod on his legs to stop him from standing.

I stood and watched this gruesome scene. for the fact that nobody could help Yuuma, the villagers are dead and no living soul is left. Just fire, blood, and dead bodies scattered everywhere. Yuuma still stood to find them. I felt pity for him, but he was a strong man; he fought them breathlessly, and I was rooting for him to win the war. I saw the shattered head of one of the kids who was playing, and I couldn't help but feel disgusted. I felt nauseous but couldn't throw up. The gruesome scene felt like a memory I had avoided seeing.

When I looked at the men fighting, only Yuuma and the bedwarmer Ruyiko were left standing facing each other.

"A little mouse like you can never defeat me. For causing the death of Small Megami, I won't let you live," Yuuma said with an exhausted voice from the fight.

"A fallen king can never be king. Even if you escape here, ninjas are waiting for you in the forest. You, a dying man, can not survive." Ruyiko said, smiling mischievously. Yuuma laughed and walked slowly toward Ruyiko. Ruyiko slowly moved back in fright.

"I remembered you loved your face so much, and believed you looked better than your mates. You are always proud of your looks." Yuuma said as he advanced to him before Ruyiko could reply. Yuuma dipped his hand in his bag, took a substance, and poured it on Ruyiko's face.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!" Ruyiko screamed in pain as his face burned, and he ran towards the forest covering his face. Yuuma limped back to Megami and opened the cloth he used to cover her.

"Megami, I am sorry for bringing disaster to your village. You only helped a dying man. I am sorry, but don't worry; I will do everything in my power and beyond my power to give you life," Yuuma said as he kissed her forehead.

" Even if I have to visit Lord Haro, so he can give you life again," he said as he stood and watched the burnt-down village as tears rolled down his eyes. I felt his pain and I held my chest. I couldn't breathe for a second

He powered some substances on the floor, which I can't identify, and walked out with Megami, carrying her in a bridal style. And the whole village was in flames.

I watched the once peaceful village going down in flames and wondered what went wrong. Whose fault? Who is to blame for the deaths of everyone in this village? It was like watching a live movie with no happy ending. I bent down and cried helplessly. I felt pain in my heart, which I couldn't comprehend. Why am I feeling this pain?

I felt a tap on my shoulder, and I jolted in shock because no one could see nor touch me.

"Do you feel pain, Megami? How did it feel to watch the disaster you caused?
