AFTER ENTERING THE PORTAL OF THE DEMON REALM
THE PORTAL CLOSED
THERE WAS A LITTLE BIRD TYPE OF DEMON

"WHAT ARE YOU???"
IN A VERY CHIBI VOICE THE DEMON BIRD REPLIED

"ME WEAK

"HE DOESN'T SEEM LIKE A THREAT TO ME"
"HM, ME TOO"
"OKAY LET'S GO, JUST DON'T DO ANYTHING FUNNY"
THE LITTLE BIRD CLIMBED UP KRISSHO'S SHOULDER
THEY CLIMBED UP THE STAIRS
ENTERED YASHURA'S ROOM
"HOW WAS IT??
"ONEROUS!
THANKS YASHURA"
"IT'S FINE
I OWE YOU MY LIFE
I'LL BE THERE WHENEVER YOU NEED ME"
"I'M GLAD YOU CAME BACK SAFELY UKO"
"NOW, LET'S GO HOME"
BUT AS SOON AS THEY GOT OUTSIDE THE KAPEL
THERE WAS SOMEONE WAITING FOR THEM
OR TO BE MORE SPECIFIC
THERE WERE PEOPLE WAITING FOR HIM
WITH AN ARMY THE KING OF ALANKARA
"RAMAAAAAAAYUUUUUUUUUUUKKKKIIIIIIIII!!!!!
NOW YOU'RE DEAD
I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR YOU FOR YEARS
NOW I'VE FINALLY FOUND YOU!!
I'M GONNA KILL YOU TODAY!!!!
RIGHT HERE!!!! RIGHT NOW!!!!"
RAMAYUKI LOOKED AT HIM WITH A NERVOUS
AND GUILTY LOOK ON HIS FACE
AS IF HE WAS A HOSTAGE IN THE KING'S HAND
HE SUDDENLY STARTED TO STUTTER
RECALLING MEMORIES
HANDS AND FEET FREEZING, PANTING
AS IF HE LOST HIMSELF
THE OTHERS WERE WORRIED ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING?
ASKING RAMAYUKI CONTINUESLY THAT IF HE WAS OKAY
BUT RAMAYUKI COULDN'T EVEN SPEAK PROPERLY
WHO IS THIS GUY??? WHY IS RAMAYUKI FEARING HIM SO MUCH?? OR IS IT SOMETHING ELSE??? HIS PAST???
WHAT'S CAUSING HIM THIS PANIC ATTACK???? IS IT THE KING OF ALANKARA - ARVARTH ???? IF SO??? WHY???
OR IS IT THAT RAMAYUKI'S PAST HIS HAUNTING HIM????
"RAMAYUKI!!!!! YOU'LL PAY FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE!!!!"
KRISSHO GOT ANNOYED AND ASKED - "IS THERE ANYONE
IN THIS WORLD THAT YOU'VE NOT MESSED WITH BEFORE??
YOU'VE DONE SOMETHING WITH ALMOST EVERYONE!!
AND NOW THEY'RE AFTER YOUR LIFE!!!
LIKE WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO HIM???"
"OH, YOU WANNA KNOW??!??" - ARVARTH SHOUTS
WITH A CRYING VOICE HE SAID -
"HE KILLED MY DAUGHTER!!"
KRISSHO AND OTHERS WERE CONFUSED
AS THEY ALL SHOUTED TOGETHER -
"RAMAYUKI DID WHAT!?!?"
THE CHIEF SOLIDER OF THE KING'S ARMY CALMY SAID -
"BUT YOU DON'T HAVE A DAUGHTER, YOUR GRACE"
"EH ?"
"THEN WHY I'M HERE TO KILL HIM???
THAT'S SOMETHING ONLY
YOUR MAJESTY YOU, WOULD KNOW
YOU'RE ALWAYS SO DESPERATE TO KILL HIM
BUT YOU DO NOT REMEMBER THE REASON WHY"
"OKAY, I DON'T CARE ZALP!!
I'M GONNA KILL HIM RIGHT HERE!!
RIGHT NOW!!!
I DON'T KNOW BUT FOR SOME REASON
SOME UNKNOWN REASON
I JUST CAN'T STAND HIM!!
HIS FACE ITSELF DISGUSTS ME
ALL SOLIDER CHAR-----"
QAYOMI INTERRUPTED - "HEY!
WHERE'S YOUR DAUGHTER NOW???"
"MY DAUGHTER???? YEAH RIGHT!!!
HIM!!! HIM!!!
THAT BASTARD MUST'VE DONE SOMETHING AGAIN!!!!
YOU FILTHY SCOUNDREL!!!
GIVE ME MY DAUGHTER BACK!!!!"
"BUT YOUR MAJESTY YOU DON'T HAVE A DAUGHTER!!!"
"THEN WHY THE HELL I'M HERE TO KILL HIM???"
"THAT'S SOMETHING WE DON'T KNOW YOUR MAJESTY!!
WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW"
IN HIS MIND ZALP MURMURED
"FORGIVE ME MY LORD
WE CAN'T LET YOU REMEMBER IT"
BUT STARING LONG ENOUGH AT RAMAYUKI
HIS HEAD STARTED TO HURT
SOME HAZY FLASHBACKS
WHERE RAMAYUKI IS STANDING IN FRONT OF HIM
SIMILARLY LIKE HE IS NOW
WITH BLOOD ALL OVER HIS CHEEK
THE BLUSH MARK SEEMED LIKE A LAMBENCY
FROM AN AFFECTIONATE HAND
HIS EYES ARE IN UTTER DENIAL!!
AS THE KING COLLAPSE
HIS ARMY TAKING HIM BACK
AS ON THEIR WAY BACK
ZALP LOOKS AT RAMAYUKI
ZALP SAYS IN GRIEF - "I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHY SHE REQUESTED ME TO SPARE YOU
EVEN ON HER DEATHBED
SHE WAS CONCERNED ABOUT HER KILLER
AND ONLY YOU KNOW THE TRUTH
I HOPE TO HEAR IT SOMEDAY
WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT
FAREWELL WARRIOR"
"JUST WHO THE HELL ARE YOU???" KRISSHO WONDERS
IN SOLEMN HE CONVEYS
"I WISH I KNEW THE ANSWER OF IT TOO"
"LET'S GO, EVERYONE"
THEY STARTED TO HEAD BACK
TO RASOV'S PLACE
WHILE ON THE WALK
KRISSHO ASKED - "WHAT NOW????
WHAT WAS HE TALKING ABOUT????
WHAT EXACTLY DID YOU DO TO HIM
THAT HE ENDED UP LIKE THAT????"
RAMAYUKI REMAINED SILENT
"AS KRISSHO GOES IN FRONT OF HIM
AND SLAMS THE TREE!!!
ANSWER ME!!!!"
"I KILLED HIS WIFE WHEN SHE WAS PREGNANT"
"YOU DID WHAT???
QAYOMI WHAT IS HE ---
YOU KNEW"
FROM THE LOOK AT QAYOMI'S FACE
KRISSHO UNDERSTOOD
THAT SHE KNEW THE TRUTH
AS RAMAYUKI PUTS HIS HANDS
ON KRISSHO'S SHOULDER
HE SIGHS, THEN SAYS
- "I'M NOT A HERO KRISSHO
NOR AM I A GOOD PERSON
I WAS ONCE WAS A RUTHLESS KILLER
AND NOW I'M JUST A VAGABOND
WHO'S ON A JOURNEY OF REDEMPTION
FOR THE GRAVE SINS I'VE COMMITTED
DESPITE REALIZING THAT
MY SOUL DO NOT DESERVE SALVATION"
THEY STARTED TO WALK AGAIN
ON THEIR WAY
THEY TOOK SOME WATER FROM A RIVER
AND SPLASHED IT ON UKO AND
CASORA WHICH WAKED THEM UP
ON THE GROUND SITTING
UKO WAS IN SHOCK
RECALLING WHAT HAPPENED
AND CASORA IN UTTER GRIEF
TRYING TO FORGET WHAT HAPPENED
AS SHE BREAKS AND STARTS TO CRY
RAMAYUKI PULLS HER TOWARDS HIM
AND GIVES HER A GENTLE YET STRONG HUG
KRISSHO STANDING AFAR
UNDER A TREE
GRABBING THE IVYS BESIDE HIM
AS HE QUESTIONS HIMSELF
"IS HE REALLY WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE????
IS IT REALLY WISE TO TRUST THEM????
ARE THEY THE RIGHT???
AM I WITH THE WRONG PEOPLE HERE????"
NARRATOR - IS THAT DEMON BIRD REALLY GOOD?
WHO WAS THAT KING? WHAT DID RAMAYUKI DO TO HIM TO CAUSE HIM SUCH SEVERE TRAUMA?? IS HE REALLY A GOOD PERSON?? IS KRISSHO RIGHT? IS HE REALLY WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE??? WHAT MORE WILL HAPPEN IN RAMAYUKI'S JOURNEY OF REDEMPTION?? HOW MANY TIMES WILL HE BREAK HIS VOW?? FIND OUT IN THE NEXT CHAPTER OF KING OF INFINITE ELEMENTS!!!!
