Chapter 8: confrontation

Benji had been caught. He was shot 20 times with arrows, the guards of the kingdom he was in had put him in captivity. He did it on purpose, he wanted to die, he’s been wanting to die. Ever since his family died. His son, his name was Julius, he was around 3. He was a green tinted flame, the joy of it was a person. Julius was his only child, but that was good enough for him. His wife, Maria, was beautiful, she had long red curling-like hair. Benji met her at a little job, they would transport goods and such to places nearby their hometown. He was around 17 when she was 18 when they first met. She didn’t necessarily notice him at first, but over the years of knowing each other their feelings grew.

They got married when Maria first proposed. After living happily as a warm family, it all had to crumble. Benji wants to be with his family, yet he is now cursed with his immortality. He hangs him down in the dungeon, he remembers Min. The murderer of his home, he’d have to kill him before he dies. He sees the moonlight come out of a small cell window of the dark and bricked room he’s imprisoned in. A voice comes down, he recognizes it immediately as his head shoots up.

It’s Min, Benji instinctively tries to grab his sword which is not there and his arms chained to the walls. He struggles with the chains, Min walks down laughing at Benji idiotic behavior and gets jailed. “ Well, anyway, Diz had called me to help you,” he says, his face still covered by his veil. Benji clutches his teeth like an untrusting animal, “ No, get away now, I’ll handle it on my own” he says angrily as Min chuckles as if he’s watching a child have its fit. “ Dizs orders” he says as he grabs Benji's arm snapping his hand out of the chains, Benji screams in pain as his hand repairs itself as Min snaps the other one out Benji yelling. “ Calm down it ain’t that bad” Min says irritatedly, kicking Benji's leg for him to stand as he does. Benji stands there a bit awkwardly as he looks at the iron doors, he’s not sure where his sword is. Min notices Benji's somewhat confusion, he groans as he decides to be helpful. “ you know you can just call for it?” He said. He explains more , “ since you're now like a god , and you're a disciple to Diz, your sword is a part of you since it was made from Diz, so call it”.

Benji is a bit confused but grasps the idea , he puts his hand out feeling awkward as he calls for his sword. The sword comes by flying smacking Benji in his face and making him fall over while Min laughs at his inability to do it correctly even for his first try. He stands holding his sword as he looks at Min, does he even remember? Does he even know him besides being a Disciple For Diz. Benji grips his sword, he lifts it as he swings it against Min who’s caught off guard, he’s undamaged. Benji starts to tear up as he tries his best to kill the unkillable.

“What’s up with you?” Min asks unbothered

“YOU DESTROYED MY HOME” Benji yells angrily, still trying to kill him.

“I’ve destroyed many homes, my bad I guess” Min responds as Benji grips his sword tighter.

“MY BAD? MY WHOLE FAMILY IS GONE BECAUSE OF YOU” Benji cries as Min grabs his arm crushing it as Benji falls to his knees .

Min doesn’t understand why he’s so upset, Min destroyed many planets without any problems. Why is he so upset? He could always build a new home or something, Min thinks to himself .

He watches Benji crying about his family, Min doesn’t understand. Min starts to feel a bit put off by Benji's distress as he lets go of his broken hand that’s slowly healing itself.

Min soon disappears as Benji sits there in his own silence.
