Chapter 1396 [Supreme Wars: Act I] 36/?: A Bitter End
-----
Green Feather was fooled into thinking the Mountain Monkey Emperor was weak, this old magician had many tricks below his sleeve. If it wasn"t for the undying guilt that consumed his own mind and made him recklessly let Green Feather attack him, he would had not gone as far as letting him do the things he was doing to him… If it wasn"t because the Mountain Monkey Emperor regretted the horrible things he did, he would had been trampled by the strength of a magician that has lived for hundreds of years…
The Mountain Monkey Emperor unleashed his magic aura, the truest power he had, infusing it into his old and almost broken bones, healing them, and at the same time enhancing the strength of his old muscles. Shocked by the power of the old monkey, Green Feather looked in horror at the Mountain Monkey Emperor only to feel his strong arm grasping one of his wings, and quickly twisting it around.
"I am sorry, Green Feather…!"
CRACK!
Green Feather"s face twisted in agony as he felt the crus.h.i.+ng force of the Mountain Monkey Emperor twisting his wing, breaking the bone, and even tearing apart a lot of his feathers, which were attached below his skin, leaving him covered in blood as the agony of his wing being broken made him cry in pain.
"UUUAAAAGGGH…!"
Green Feather screamed in agony as his eyes continued to cry in pain, the Mountain Monkey Emperor ruthlessly raised his leg, kicking him in the stomach and blowing him away, all while making him vomit a large mouthful of blood.
"Uuggh… Agggh… M-My wing…!" Cried Green Feather, realizing the horrifying truth that he won"t be able to fly once more… "You b.a.s.t.a.r.d…! I hate you…! I f.u.c.kING DESPISE YOU!!!"
The Mountain Monkey Emperor looked down at Green Feather. His memories quickly began to remember when he was with his friend and that little chick wandered around nearby, so small, so weak, so innocent, it was filled with life and a bright future ahead.
But now… he was forced to ruin his life, to ruin his world, to ruin everything… He looked at Green Feather as he resisted the impulse to cry in the same level of agony than the young man in front of him. His entire body was filled with almost lethal wounds, bleeding all over his body, he barely mustered the force to move away Green Feather from his cave…
Green Feather roared angrily, fighting with everything he could, his legs were still powerful and he could run faster, however, the Mountain Monkey Emperor caught him each time, barely managing to win their matches as his body was covered in more and more slas.h.i.+ng scars.
"I am sorry, Green Feather… I am really sorry…" Thought the Mountain Monkey Emperor, as he gritted his teeth and used his magic to aid his monkeys, barely managing to defeat the enemy soldiers as the survivors quickly grabbed Green Feather and flew away from the territory of the Mountain Monkey Emperor clan…
"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d…! Coward…! COWARD!!!" Cried Green Feather, without being able to bear how cowardly the Mountain Monkey Emperor was to not kill him when he could, as he instead decided to not fight anymore, and to send him back to his home…
"I am sorry, Green Feather, but I cannot let you take me down… I"ll take away your flight… and your pride… Please, bear with the burdens you"ve been bestowed until the time is here…!"
The harsh words of the ruthless Mountain Monkey Emperor resonated through the ears of Green Feather in those ancient times, as his wing had been broken, and his ability to fly was broken alongside his wing. He had become a broken man as well, drowning on his own self-loathing and frustration, and even his own hatred. It was something that didn"t seem to ever come to an end, an endless agony that never ended, such as life.
However, his words lingered on his mind as he was carried away by his loyal subjects, what did the Mountain Monkey Emperor meant by all of this? Why was he talking as if he had done some sort of task given to him for some reason? Green Feather couldn"t help but feel frustrated and even more angered for never having learned the truth behind the actions of the Mountain Monkey Emperor aside from him being a traitorous b.a.s.t.a.r.d.
What could had brought such a wise old man to the point where he would slay his best friend, his best friend wife and then his best friend little and young daughter, not older than a year and a few months? What sort of stupid thing could it had been?
The Gale Bird Emperor drowned in his own sorrow and insanity, as he continued to think the world was filled with horrendous agony, with endless pain…
Green Feather pa.s.sed out when he reached his nest, resting over the small nest where his family once slept all together, the scent of his father, mother, and sister still lingered here, alongside the small eggsh.e.l.ls that his parents had left as mementos from his egg and that of his little sister…
The Gale Bird Emperor drowned on his own frustration, sorrow, regret, and agony, as he looked into the moonlight atop the night sky.
"Father, mother, sister… I am sorry…"
Green Feather cried that night for the last time. Slowly, with each pa.s.sing day, week, month, and year he became more and more ruthless, he came just as monstrous as the other Emperors his father despised, a broken man with nothing else to him other than his horrendous past… Despite having had many opportunities to take his life, he remained alive, with the faint hope that one day he would be able to defeat the Mountain Monkey Emperor somehow… However, as time pa.s.sed, the Great G.o.d that watched over him took away his Blessing and his last hopes, and just some months after that, his fate approached, in the form of a slime and a b.u.t.terfly.
