Hello all! I'm updating today instead of Wednesday because I think I'll be too busy then. I'm a caring person, really (sarcastically) It's also a double update today partly because this chapter is really short and partly because I won't be able to update next week. So here you are! i hope you enjoy!
"K-kill?" Ghirahim asked in fear. He'd been preparing and he'd known that it was for that purpose… but kill…
Esimed nodded seriously. "Of course. What did you think you were training for?"
The question was stated without a trace of concern, as if killing was a natural thing. Just another part of human life.
"Well, yes… but already?" Truth be told, he didn't want to kill them. He wanted to make them feel guilty and then have them live with that guilt for the rest of their miserable lives. He wanted them to suffer, but not die. And he especially didn't want to kill them himself.
"Of course already," Esimed stated. "I tell you, you have a real knack for magic. I was surprised. You could be called a prodigy even."
Ghirahim smiled. "Really?"
"Yes, really. Do I look like I'm lying?" Esimed huffed. "Besides, the best way to practice is experience. And it's not like I'm putting you up against anyone important. Just someone from the sky."
"From the sky?" Who? Who was Esimed going to make him kill? Surely, not Link. Though hew as mad at Link, he didn't want to kill him. Somehow, that part that had cared for Link as a friend still existed in him.
"I don't know. I need to know who you'd like to kill. If you're heart's in it, you won't remember it with a bad taste and it'll be easier next time. Right?"
"I suppose…" Ghirahim thought a moment. Who would he want to kill? Out of everyone, who would he want to hurt and be rid of most of all? Karane he definitely hated, but he didn't want to end her life and let he get off easy. "Karane's father," he blurted without thinking. It would hurt her, but he wouldn't feel bad because he didn't know the man. It was the best thing he could think of. Plus, no one would really miss him, so he wouldn't be missed in Skyloft. All he was was an old drunk after all.
"Her father, huh? Not her though?" Esimed questioned.
"Yes." Ghirahim nodded, sure of himself. "It'll put her through more pain then her own death ever could, wouldn't it?"
"Well… I suppose… But most people would want to just get rid of the one who put them through pain, right?" Esimed asked. "Usually, I don't think people would just want to hurt them and let them live. Are you sure?"
"Completely," Ghirahim repeated. "I want to kill Karane's father." And he meant it. He wanted to kill her father.
I hope you liked it!
