MORPHING ASHES INTO A PHOENIX. Chapter #10.
CHAPTER 10: SACRIFICE
The horses had arrived. All the people rushed towards them.
Adana got down sadly and went inside her tent without uttering a word. So did the people as they scattered away at the sight of the last horse bringing John's dead body.
Regina rushed to the horse and wailed into sorrows and cries. Her heart felt empty as it poured out tears, full of life.
Ada arrived at the scene and so did the Vince family. The sound of moans and sniffs echoed in the area as people came and left, leaving behind life energy for John to nurture upon. Unfortunately, he could not. The silence was thunderously deafening on that night.
Was it truly possible for people to leave like this? Could they not wait a bit longer? The only person that had believed in her dreams like Simon was John, thought Regina.
Like Simon, he too left behind the beautiful future for her alone so that she would wander places and feed her hollow inside. What would she do of such a world now, even if it grows perfect now. What good is a future where one has left behind his friends, love and family and you are made to exist.
All of it for what. Was life a punishment to suffer. Why were all events like a meandering river that hid underneath hard rocks that would only serve to smash the diver's bones and parts. At the end of the river, he does come out in a new shape. It is a ghastly shape that can no more stay in the river. It has to be discarded into the sea. Regina was losing.
Later on, back in the tent, Ada procrastinated about John. After losing Hamidi, she had a hard time coming on the front. Now watching a close friend go away had her restless.
She just wished for things to back to however they were before the earthquake. It had been like a crack in her treasured soul and she waited anxiously for another person insider her to take hold of the present. But it was out of physical boundaries. What would the village think now as an important person in the making had gone. What if even more go away, the thought shivered...
