Chapter 6- The Reasons...
"Genis... Genis..." A soft voice called out, and Genis bolted up right. He was in the same room as when they fought Mithos, or Yggdrasill, to be exact.
"Genis... what have you turned into...?" The voice now sounded a death lot like Mithos.
"t wasn't my fault... They made me fight you..." Genis said quietly.
"No... You knew it from the beginning... you didn't want to fight, but you still did..." Mithos's image appeared before him.
"You did it, from your own will..."
"No... It wasn't my fault..." Genis said again.
"It was!" Mithos screamed, flying ahead and crashing hard into him. Genis fell back hard, his chest aching. "I could have made a world, where Half-Elves could rule everyone and everything..." Mithos whirled back, striking Genis in the head. He yelped hard, holding his neck as he fell onto his stomach. "A world where Half-Elves could rule... Why past that chance away...?" Mithos said quietly, standing with his back turned to Genis. "You could finally live happily, with no more people judging you..." He turned to Genis, and a long sword was now in his hands. Mithos made his slow walk towards Genis. "Elves reject you... Humans are jealous of you... Where else can you go?" Mithos's eyes narrowed, as he hair got a bit longer. "No where, that's what... You'll just wander the planet, trying to find a place to be accepted..." Giant wings slowly started to go behind Mithos's back, as his legs got longer. "Death, sounds much better, doesn't it...?" Genis looked up at him, his teeth gritted from the pain.
"You're wrong..." Genis said quietly, trying his best to stand. Mithos blinked a bit, as his transformation completed, now standing as Yggdrasiil again. "I have friends who care about me... There are only a few of them, but that's good enough for me..." Yggdrsiil shook his head slowly.
"No..." He said. "They only feel sorry for you... You believe it when they say they care about you..." He stared at Genis sternly. "Can't you see it's all one big lie?" Genis shook his head hard.
"IT'S NOT A LIE!" He screamed, his voice echoeing around. "I've been through so much with them, I've laughed, I've cried, I've come close to dying many times... But guess who helped me?" Yggdrasiil smirked a bit. "My friends..." Genis finished, blinking away his tears.
"You will only be betrayed sooner or later..." Yggdrasiil sighed, checking the sword in his hand. Genis smiled a bit, laughing.
"No... No I won't! Don't you get it? They care for me! They will never let me down!" Yggdrasiil clenched his fists, speeding towards him.
"You stupid, stupid child..." He uttered, raising the sword behind him. Genis raised his hands in front of him to protect himself, but it wasn't needed, as a blue bolt raced along the ground, with the voice Genis was so happy to hear, and the voice Yggdrasiil feared...
"Demon Fang!"
