All attempts of the guard to get out of the grip proved futile except to serve as a form of amusement to the being who found the guard's struggling body very entertaining to watch.
"You can end it now".
Elmon was uncomfortable watching the being torment the guard as slowly as it can.
He wanted it to be over with as quickly as possible, so as to put the guard out of his own misery.
"Oh, Elmon, Elmon? You take the fun out of everything with your Saint like attitude. Just when are you ever going to learn that to truly survive, you have to be as merciless as possible".
It crushed the neck of the guard, snapping it in two and detaching the upper half from the rest of the body.
The being tossed aside the head as it made its way down to where Elmon was standing.
"I don't need you telling me what I should and shouldn't think like. Remember, we had a deal, and that is the only reason why I am working with you".
Elmon was very much still scared of the being, but he hid his fear deep within himself and managed to demonstrate on the outside his fierce self.
He reminded it that he was not working together with it because he wanted to, but rather it is because he is left with no other choice.
In exchange for what he was promised by the being, that is the only reason that Elmon is willing to work with it.
"Kekeke".
The bring took light of what Elmon had just said, throwing in the weird laugh all over again.
"Get to work".
So says the being in amusement like it was enjoying Elmon trying to hide away his fear from him.
Elmon made his way past the being and headed straight for the gate, to act on what really brought him here.
"Stoppppp!!!".
The feminine loud voice that sounded next was what stopped Elmon who had just gotten to the gate and was about to be instructed by the being on how to open it.
"What do you think you are doing right now, young one".
The voice belonged to Dilya, she stood at the entrance with Orun by her side, wondering what was going on.
He and Dilya were in a discussion concerning her identity and from where Orun had met her before.
It was when he had a thought concerning who she might be, Orun was about to verify his thoughts when she abruptly got up from her seat and started running like there was no tomorrow.
He contemplated on leaving her be since she might have some important matters to attend to, but he couldn't do that.
Not long after Dilya got up from her seat and made her way outside, Orun felt this ominous intoxicated aura that was badly corrupting the atmosphere.
When he traced down the aura, Orun noticed that it was coming from the direction that Dilya had run to.
There is no way it was just a mere coincidence. Him suddenly feeling disgusted by the same air he has had no problem breathing in before, and Dilya showing an expression he had never seen her display before.
There was no way all of it was just a mere coincidence is what Orun thought.
It was easy to see that something was happening in the Elven nation, something that not even the Elven queen Dilya approves of.
He ran after Dilya, following her closely in hopes that he would be able to find that something.
She was a fast runner, faster than what Orun had imagined her to be like, but he was not so slow either.
Orun got on Dilya's tail, caught up with her and made sure to not lose any sight of her until they got to their destination.
The destination was indeed farther than Orun's expectation, leading them to climb over several tall walls before getting to their intended.
"Kid, back away from the gate right now".
Dilya's voice sounded soothing, and Orun could see how hesitant she was about moving closer to the guy she was talking to.
She probably did not want to scare him into doing what she does not want him to do.
Her hastily making her way toward him was only going to push him to do that which she had considered forbidden.
"Why should I have to do that".
The young boy asked Dilya with such confidence, yet such low self esteem carrying the weight of his voice.
Orun did not need to be told or have to look twice to see a broken guy in the boy.
He saw the boys through self, looked past the tone of his voice by listening to the sound of his heartbeat.
The boy was extremely sad and in desperation filled only with pain within him.
There is only one kind of person that Orun had met with who looked very familiar to the current situation of the boy.
"Because doing it is dangerous. Opening that gate would not only lead to our deaths, but also the death of millions outside of the Elven nation. The world itself will be in jeopardy if it is open".
Orun stopped listening to the heartbeat of the boy and payed attention to what Dilya had just said.
The death of not only the Elven nation but also the world being in jeopardy? That statement sounded to Orun like whatever was in the gate was an entity that shouldn't be let out.
Orun has yet to seen the complete scope of the world's settings, to explore how vast the world really is.
He has yet to see that, but he already has an idea of how big it is from the little amount of time that he spent in it.
Talking about destroying the world is like saying whatever was in that gate, is an entity that is as deadly as climate change, faster than the destruction that could be brought about due to the effect of climate change.
This wasn't any kind of good news for Orun who is about to embark on a goal, to build a place where he fits in as himself and not as another.
