Rise Of The Scorpion - Chapter 34 Forest of Death part/12 Past/1

(I recommend listening to “Dark on me” by Starset while reading.)

Emilia didn’t refute Sasori, because deep down she knew how true his words were.

“Yet you didn’t give up.” Said Sasori.

Emilia eyes winded, she was shocked.

“You are a descendant of an ancient knight house and you possess a unique holy knight class, you could become a titled holy knight of the church of light any time you want, even becoming a divine knight is possible,” said Sasori.

Emilia was absent-minded.

“Yet you choose to forsake everything, Wealth, status and power and come to this God-forsaken island,” he said, as he gazed at the stars.

Emilia mimicked Sasori, and she gazed at the stars.

“What do you regret the most?” said Sasori.

“…I-i regret not trusting my brother” she was stunned at Sasori question, but after a moment of hesitation she said, and streams of tears fell down.

*Sniff*

“If you could go back in time, what would you change?” Sasori eyes focused at Emilia’s.

*Sniff*Emilia looked at Sasori with a trace of hope in her eyes.

“Look at my eyes, and don’t resist,” he said as his greyish brown, turned purple with three tomoe.

Then the to mow began spinning, faster and faster, before turning to a mangekyo Sharingan.

It was the first time Emilia had a close look at Sasori’s mystical eyes, it was bright purple, surrounding his pupil Emilia noticed a circle, the circle looked like a scorpion tail, it was spinning lazily inside Sasori’s eyes.

*Woosh*

Suddenly the tail began to spin like crazy, Emilia instinct told her to block, but she didn’t.

She trusted Sasori with her life.

*Woosh*

The spinning became faster and faster, then…

*Wooooosh*

Purple shockwave hit Emilia, sending her flying.

“Ahh, my head” Emilia, used a hand to support herself and the other to rube her head.

“There you are, Little Angel” before she could yell at Sasori to explain himself, she heard a voice, and she froze.

“Aren’t you going to say hi to your big brother?” A voice said in fake anger.

Emilia trembled at the voice, she raised her head slowly to see a handsome young man, he looked about 20, with a silver hair and gentle blue eyes, and was wearing a knight uniform.

The young man looked like an exact copy of Emilia.

“B-brother, how is that possible!? ” she asked in disbelief.

“Hahaha, why are you stunned? did you miss me?” he said.

“I…” before she could finish…

“Big brother!!” a younger voice yelled.

Emilia was surprised because someone run through her as if she didn’t exist.

The figure a little girl, wearing pajamas, she had a silver hair and blue eyes, she looked exactly like the young man, she rushed at the young man and jumped.

“Ho! Hahaha, not asleep yet?” he said laughing.

“Nope, daddy is reading me a story!” she said.

“Oh! a story, let me guess which book… hmm, was it ” History of the divine light”?” he said.

“No you silly, that’s for grownups!” she corrected him.

“Hahaha, I was just joking little angel,” he said laughing.

“How was it, Ceaser?” suddenly another voice comes in. it was a middle-aged man, he had brown hair and a short beard, and blue eyes.

“Daddy!” Called the little girl, earning a nod from the middle-aged man.

“It was alright, father,” said Ceaser.

Emilia couldn’t believe what she was watching, she remembered this conversation, it was the last decent conversation she had with her family.

The scene suddenly changed.
