Destiny Sorrow by Rod Galves (recommended ebook reader .txt) 📕

The girl didn't know what to do; wanted to help Tugsten, but she didn't even know if it was possible. She wanted to neutralize Dunna, but she couldn't either. She was feeling useless in the middle of the battlefield.

At that moment she had another dark vision. Jamin rolled to the side escaping by an inch of the axe that cracked the metal floor of the hangar. Ratz jumped on the Guardian's back, with his launcher at close range, where the barrier could no longer hold. Then another explosion occurred.

Evelin looked at the agents around trying to gather and getting into ships, but she herself was lost and not knowing what to do. Then she heard Norna's voice on the communicator.

“This is a general warning: Get on the ships and follow me on the Rubilacxe. A ship is back to take Sorom. The rest of you come with me!”

She heard more explosions, opening through the hangar wall to the interior of the Ziggurat-City. She saw Jamin and Sliger covered in ashes carrying Ratz's burn-filled body to a ship and yet she continued still watching the chaos happen.

She couldn't see Dunna's body in the smoke and hadn't seen if Sorom had arrived either. Evelin tried to concentrate; she was trained for this type of event. However, being in the midst of it was something Evelin felt was never possible to be truly prepared for.

That's when she heard heavy footsteps through the hangar. She thought Dunna had gotten up, but it was Golbert carrying Willys' body on his back. Sorom and Dijo followed, with the leader shooting back covering them”

Evelin knew that if she stood still, she would be caught and decided to join the group, which was headed towards a battleship.

When joining she asked Sorom directly.

“What about my father?”

Her answer was a laser shot that almost hit Sorom.

“Daddy's over there.”

She saw her father running with his revolver pointed at them.

“We won't have time to turn on the ship before it arrives!” Said Sorom worried.

Simeht's pace was greater than the agents' and in fact would soon reach them.

“Dijo, run in front and turn on the ship; Gol, put Willys in a safe place.”

They followed orders. Sorom and Evelin were side by side on the ship's ramp with Simeht just behind.

“Do not hate me for this.” Sorom said to his companion.

Evelin was going to ask what he was talking about, but Sorom was faster. She had Sorom's arm in her throat and his pistol pointed at her temple.

“If you take another step, your little girl dies.” Sorom said to Simeht, who stopped immediately.

He looked into Evelin's eyes and felt despair for his daughter.

“Don't do that Sorom!” cried his father. “Or you'll regret it!”

Now the ship was turned on, the ramp began to retract, Sorom smiled, feeling victorious as he held the girl in his arms.

“It seems that you lost this, Simeht.” Said Sorom. "The next time we see each other will be in the Air Temple.”

The ship's door closed and Dijo began to fly it out. Immediately Evelin got away from Sorom and looked furious at him.

“What was that idea? You can't do that!”

“It was that or we were dead.” Sorom replied. "I don't have time for this discussion.”

He left Evelin looking at the wall and went to see Willys. His mechanical arm was destroyed, and his head had a huge burn from Simeht's shot, yet he was still alive.

“We have to go back soon,” Golbert said. “He needs treatments.”

“Yes,” agreed Sorom, “Dijo, prepare the explosives, we need to destroy the tunnels.”

The young man seemed grumpy.

“Right,” he replied.

Evelin wanted to question whether it would be wise to destroy the agents' only path to the city, but she was too angry to talk.

Sorom's ship was the last, and as soon as they crossed the established limit, Dijo fired a series of explosives, demolishing the path behind them.

The hangar at the base of the chaos was packed, both of ships and of people. Many medical beds were brought in and tried to treat the wounded.

As soon as the ship landed, Evelin left without talking to Sorom and went straight to her room, while Golbert ran with Willys on his back for treatment. Sorom and Dijo saw Jamin and Sliger carrying Ratz's burn-filled body, and Sorom could not hold back the emotion.

“What happened to him?”

“If it exploded to take Dunna.” replied Sliger.

“Tug is gone too,” Jamin said emotionally.

The two left Sorom and Dijo alone.

“What was that idea?” Fought Dijo.

“What?” Asked Sorom surprised.

“It is your fault that we have two Ingas seriously injured!”

Sorom's confusion turned into irritation.

“They knew what they were doing,” Sorom said. "Do you think this is a joke? That's no way to talk to your leader!”

“No, you think it's a joke! You wanted to reveal yourself to the whole world and do a little show. Maybe if they didn't know it was you, we'd have deployed the bomb and Willys would be fine. Now excuse me I need to see him.”

He left Sorom, and when the leader began to relax, he heard Norna's voice berating him.

“He's right, you know?”

“Not you to...” Complained Sorom.

“You know who's going to suffer from that, don't you? They have your name on the list and they'll know Garreth took you there! He's going to suffer all the retaliation from the Chaos Agents.”

“I'm saving the world!”

“Look around. You can save the world, but you'll end up losing all the people along the way!”

She also left him and Sorom found herself in the midst of guns and wounded, completely alone.

Pharaoh's Fury

“People of Gardenia,” Pharaoh Tess said for the cameras in front of him, “a horrible tragedy struck us. The Heart was attacked by the chaos terrorists, causing much destruction and death. I'm fine and their plan to murder me was a complete failure.”

This time the Pharaoh wore a completely black tunic with no detail and his expression was a mixture of sadness and weariness.

“We captured a series of these terrorists and a traitor
