Chapter 14 – Fallen Friends

Kiba cocked his head, he had no idea what to expect, and was as confused as everyone else as to why he was stood there, lifting his head, Richard looked to Kiba, and said, with a strange firmness present in his voice, “For a long time, I have remembered my true purpose, and I know why I am here, I am the ‘key’ to the power of Paradise” he looked as he saw several shocked faces, although they looked as if they expected this, but what they heard next they did not, “I have known for a while what would have to happen here, but I did not tell you as I did not want you to question what you were doing, I had to keep quiet”, he switched his view to Kiba, and locked his gaze straight into his eyes, and said, coldly, and firmly, “In order for Cheza to release the power, I have to be killed the chosen one, Kiba, you are that Wolf” he looked to him strongly, shock covering Kiba’s face, he could not believe what he just heard, Toboe speaking for him,

“Kill you!? WHY!” Toboe shouted, he sounded extremely upset by what he had just heard, but Richard simply nodded, and added,

“I am ‘Fragment’ the one who holds back Paradise’ power, with me dead, the power can be released, thus allowing Cheza to save you all, please, this is as hard for me as it is you, I do not want to die, but it is my reason for being here” the Wolves whispered between themselves, Kiba walked over to Richard, as he removed his coat, placing it on the ground, and bobbing down to be on level with Kiba, who said to him, a tear in his eye,

“I can’t kill you Richard I can’t” Richard looked at him back, his eyes also glazing over, he put his arms around Kiba, who also moved forwards as he did this, Richard saying as he held him, crying also, tears running down his cheek,

“You have to, but don’t worry, though I may fall, I do not die empty, I had a good time, from the moment we met in that courtyard, to this moment, you shall, as well as the other Wolves be my best friend, do this please, my last gift to you, for everything you have done” Richard pushed himself away from Kiba, who also had tears running down his muzzle, his eyes swelling.

Richard stood straight up, and looked forward, saying to Kiba as he stood there, “Please, do it swiftly, I don’t want to suffer any longer than I must, nor you” he stood there, he could hardly control the shakes he had, the tears falling down his cheeks, but, he felt nothing, only the wind as he stood there, his arms out stretched to the side of him, he heard Kiba say instead, struggling to speak due to the tears,

“Richard, please, there must be another way” he looked straight up as him, as his face began to go red with the tears, he shook his head, and whimpered out,

“This is the only way, now please, strike” Richard stood there, and embraced his moments, he heard the whimpering of the other wolves, but, this was cut short, as h felt a deep pain run straight through him, he looked down, and saw a paw retract from his gut, bringing his arms down, he placed them over, and saw the blood come pouring out, a slight smile on his face, looking at the blood fill his hands, his fingers becoming crimson as he fell to his knees, the blood dripping onto the floor, creating red splashes. He quickly fell to his side, then, turning himself, he looked straight up, still tears running down his cheek, still smiling, his left arm over his wound, his right hand extended at his side. He looked up to the sky, he could see the moon, full in redness, the stars shining bright above him, and it was beautiful, pure beauty.

The Wolves quickly came and surrounded him, seeing the colour leave his face, he could hear them all trying to ask him not to leave, he whispered the words out, trying to keep happy, coughing as he did, blood coming out of the side of his mouth, “I do not regret anything, thank you all for been there, I wish I could have gotten to know you better, all of you, do not cry for me, I will be with you forever” he lay there, he could feel the blood run underneath him, he felt the muzzles of them on him, nudging him, trying to keep them with them. All of the sudden, the air was full of howls, were they howling for him, it gave him a strange energy, like nothing he had ever felt before, he felt happy, and would be able to leave in such a way.

After they finished, he looked to them, and then said, “I want to leave each of you with a message”, he looked to Tsume first, “Remember, remember to always stand by those who care for you, and don’t worry, they will do the same”, he switched his gaze now to Hige, “Don’t worry about being too cautious, be careful, and you will live longer” he smiled as he said this one, coughing again, some more blood coming from his mouth. He looked to Toboe now, and said, “Toboe, You are such a great wolf, I will never forget how fun you were, and don’t you either, remember to keep you energy, don’t let that run out” he felt him as he nuzzled him slightly, saying this.

Finally, it was Kiba, he watched as he walked next to him, sitting there, Richard reached his hand up, and stroked the side of his Muzzle, saying, with what strength he had left, coughing more violently now, “Kiba, my best friend, long have I wished to say that, that I had a friend who I would trust with anything, that is you, I wish we could have met along time ago, perhaps things may have been different, but, I want to leave you with this Kiba, don’t ever forget yourself” Richard stroked his under chin, still trying to keep energy.

He looked to the sky now, and said, out loud, so all could hear, “PARADISE GATES!, Open to these, let leash you power” as he said this, a green light developed over his stomach, launching itself into the air, hovering above them, Richard saying as he lay there, “It is now ready” he looked over to where Cheza stood, and then said, silently, losing his voice, coughing uncontrollably now, lifting himself up slightly as he did, “It is time, Cheza, guide them” he smiled to this last comment.

He began to go cold, and shiver slightly, saying his last words, the blood now a pool on top of him, “Remember, Paradise, you are here, let this place be re-born, all those lost, dead, be re-born pure, you shall know happiness, good bye my friends, live, and never forget each other” he lost all sense in himself now, and lost all strength in his body, his arms dropping, and going limp, he felt the last of his energy left, it was time, he had finished, come to do his job, found by them, taken care by them. His life flashed past him, most of it a blur apart from these past weeks, they would forever be with him, nothing could take them away, and he would not change them for anything.

He lay there, limp, the Wolves tried to wake him, but, he looked, stared at the sky, a small blood river coming from his mouth and nose, and a lake of crimson mess in his gut, it now hit them, he was dead. All of them cried, howling and whimpering around his body, Cheza even releasing a tear of sadness as she moved around to his head, and closed his eyes, it was time.

Meanwhile, Richard drifted in darkness, he awaited for the ritual to start, although he was dead, his spirit was till there, and he felt his spirit been taken away, moved, bit by bit, it had started, it was time he could feel them all, and he was sure they could all feel them, and he said, as he was like this, in a spirit form, “Welcome to Paradise” a bright light surrounded them all, and he watched then disappear, and then, felt himself go, seeing as the last images the world in bloom, a giant garden, once again, peace had returned, and he drifted off, a sadness in his heart, but knowing he had done something with his life, he was not useless after all.

With these finals words, he disappeared, leaving this world, where it’s future would go, he didn’t know, but what he did know is the people left would have to make choices, it would be hard, but, they could do it, nature returning, The Wolves in Paradise.
