«TRIGGER WARNING: BLOOD»

As the dusk cleared from the surroundings, the clear picture of the situation was seen.

The man, mostly likely in his mid twenties to late twenties was holding the bleeding boy, who looked as if he was in his twenties, bleeding from almost everywhere, smiling or crying. No one could figure it out. Yes, he was smiling but tears were streaming down his face.

"Grand prince...(coughs blood) I'm dying…" The boy said while smiling yet tears streaming down his cheeks. "Tell me. Am I going to heaven or hell… or neither"

"I... Of course you are going to heaven. You saved everyone" replied the man, whom the boy had initially called the grand prince.

"Saved everyone?" spat the boy with a dark chuckle. "I did it all for my revenge. Saving the universe? It just became by product of it"

"I know....i know but everyone sees you that way. You are hero. You both are heros" the grand Prince replied solemnly. "Don't worry, I'll help you. You'll be fine in no time"

"I don't want help, grand prince. I have no goal in life. Better than let me die than let me survive in a universe who had been nothing but cruel to me" the boy said with neutral tone, as if he didn't care if he was dying. "Don't make me out to be the hero. I don't want to be remembered as a saviour. For him, it's the same. But you would never listen to me, Would you?

"Of course not" The grand prince replied with a slight smirk on his face. "I love seeing you suffer, don't I. Rest well, you deserve peace after everything"

The grand prince kissed the boy's forehead as the boy closed his eyes and took his final breath, before going still. No movement. Not a sign of breath. No pulse.

"After everything, I hope you are at peace, with nothing to worry about, with nothing to be mad about with everyone you love" said the grand prince, picking the boy up in bridal style. "But you deserve a proper farewell though I suppose many people would not take it well. You were an idol to some, an enemy to other and someone everyone loved. You were great boy. You deserved everything"

The grand prince carried the boy out of the place, where, most likely a battle took place. A dangerous one at that. Probably the battle which left the boy in that condition, where his body was covered with injuries, which became the cause of the boy death.
