Fire filled , and I rocketed into the air. I needed to burn off so energy, and the blacksmith wagon should have sothing for to do, but I used Kara's magic to make a hood like Cable's, and then I cut loose. I put serious power into my fire and picked up speed as I rose to the air and headed south.
I didn't really have a plan, but I really hadn't taken much of a look around, and maybe a quick sprint to the sea and back would be a good way to lynch so of this freakin energy. I burst out of the clouds and soared over the billowing fluffy clouds that towered high into the sky, and then I aid myself south and pushed my speed to the limit; within minutes, I could see the endless sparkling blue sea.
I changed my path and angled down to the upcoming water; I didn't want to go further than this, but I did want to check out the beach. I dropped down, and a cloud of sand shot up and made it hard to see for a few seconds, but my view cleared fast, and the endless open sea stood before . I sat down, crossed my legs, and put my hands behind , leaving propped at a relaxed ninety-degree angle.
This was nice. It truly had been longer than I could rember that I had any ti to . Yes, Gripton was here with , but he has been so quiet lately, I almost forget he is here sotis.
'Yes, about that, since you are alone now, I think that this is the best ti to talk about this.' -Gripton.
'Hmm? What's up, old man?'
'You no longer need here with you; I think it is ti for us to say our goodbyes.' -Gripton.
'What?! You said you were stuck here with ! What the hell old man! I ca here to relax! What the fuck?!'
'I know, and that is another reason I have to go. I could have left at any ti, but I have stayed with you this entire ti because I was worried about what you might do. I can't stay around and lie to you anymore, Hyde. The Ga Master is officially here, and if I stay here, he will not have any limitations.' -Gripton.
I stood up and started to walk up the endless beach, my head awash with my thoughts on what the God in my head had just told . Leaving, gone...I wasn't sentintal, but Grip had guided from the start, even if he had to use force to do it. A part of understood the rest of what he said, but the big part of said that I was losing the best friend I had ever had, no...Grip wasn't just a friend
'Do you have to go? I don't know if I'm'
'Co on, Hyde! You can bullshit your friends and I'll bullshit mine, but let's not bullshit each other. Hyde, you have a large number of people that rely on you and each of them will help you achieve your goals. I have been getting Nina ready to take over and she knows all the functions of your mind and the things I have cataloged.' -Gripton.
'So...that's it? You will disappear, and I'll never see you again?'
'Win Hyde. Fucking kicking Talon's ass up over his shoulder; that is the Ga Masters na. Do not challenge him unless you are the dominant ruler over this land; anything less will spell your disaster. When I go, he will be limited to a single magic, but he will have free choice, but he can not use your magic.' -Gripton.
'Why don't I just go kill him alone? I am strong now, Can't I beat him?'
'NO! Do not try to provoke him! Now that I am leaving, he will no longer be able to track your movents. While I am with you, I not only put you in danger now, but I put your family in danger.' -Gripton.
That froze stiff in my tracks; what?
'Are you telling he knows where my family is right now?'
'Yes, and this is why I need to leave.' -Gripton.
My hood was already up, and I was already in the air.
'HYDE! Talon will not attack yet, and even if he did want to he is too far. Calm down, I won't put your family at risk, but you also need to be more thoughtful and pay more attention to things going around you. Let the won help you; they are the back of your kingdom. I have to do this to protect you and them, Hyde; I don't want to leave you here alone, but I think you have a grip on things now. You understand why I picked you, right?' -Gripton.
'You picked ?'
'Really? Nine billion people, and probably about a hundred and fifty thousand die every day, but you were just picked randomly?' -Gripton.
I had no answer, it made sense, but why out of all the fucking people in the world I picked? Who the fuck was I? There had to have been a hundred and forty-nine thousand, ninety hundred and ninety-nine better choices than . I was just so piece of shit that had a life full of disappointnts and let downs. I was back now, above the wagons, but about two or three miles above them, but I just hung in the air.
'I watched your life, Hyde, you weren't always like this. There was a ti when you were a lot different, but then your mother died, and your father cut himself off from the world. I have watched you slowly slide and change into the rough person you are today, but you were different before the world took the light away. I know it has been hard, but Hyde, you're the toughest son of a bitch I have ever seen. You did want to die when I brought you here, and I know why you were ready to give up, but it's not like that anymore, is it?' -Gripton.
My eyes were starting to cloud up, but I didn't wipe the tears, I let them pour down my face as my mind was invaded by the mory of the day it all changed for .
