Day 3
Me and Cecil woke back up after our nap. It was our third day.
"First day without Edge," I said gloomily. Cecil seems to not give up despite Edge's death, and I'm glad he's that way.
"Yep, I also miss Rosa, but we have to move on," he said, while checked the supplies. Unfortunately, we were out of food.
"Cecil," I groaned, "I'm serious, we have to get more food from home!"
"I... can't,"
"Why's that Cecil?" I asked and he sighed.
"I don't want to show my face," answered Cecil, "the face that couldn't save Edge,".
"How about we find some on the moon," I suggested and he agreed. We wandered across the moon, fighting monsters and testing their edibility of their meat. Of course, we cooked them, but they weren't very safe. Meanwhile, I started to get hallucinations from hunger.
"Cecil, have you seen any plates of food?" I asked once. My friend looked around.
"No, I did not," he said but he got worried quickly, "I think that you're having a hallucination from Zemus, we need to find a Behemoth, that's the only thing that is edible,". We decided to split and find food alone. Hours passed and my hunger is winning. I couldn't find a single damn Behemoth to hunt. Additionally, I kept seeing imaginary food all over the place. Eventually, I saw a dark figure in a valley. Assuming it was a Behemoth, I jump very high and with my lance, I stabbed the creature in the front. When I recovered, I realized that I didn't kill a Behemoth, but Cecil himself. He lay there with blood coming out of his stomach.
"Why... did... you... did... this... Kain...," he faintly asked me. I started crying in regret.
"Don't leave buddy!" I yelled out but he then died. I sobbed louder but realized that Zemus must've caused me to kill my friend.
"DAMN YOU ZEMUS!" I bellowed as I picked up a rock, "DAMN YOU TO HELL!!! YOU MADE ME KILL HIM!!!," I later ran to the Lunar Whale and flew it back to Earth. "I'm never going to that crap again," I said to myself. I ended up in Mysidia, got out of the ship, and ran to the temple. I noticed that the elder was talking to Rydia and Rosa about Edge's and Cecil's deaths. I was too ashamed to go near them; I ran from town as fast as I could. However, I forgot that I was still starving and so I fainted in the grassy plains.
I woke up in a room in a castle tower. I didn't had enough strength to move freely but I recognized this place; it was Cecil's room! I saw Rosa, Rydia, and several others. They looked saddened despite me being alive.
"We heard about Cecil's and Edge's death," said Rosa, who started crying in grief (of their deaths) and gladness (me surviving).
"We know this wasn't your fault Kain," said Rydia.
"I will miss them," I told them seriously, "but, what about Zemus?".
"We will find another way," they promised and I went back to sleep.
