Can you please share again?😭

Alexander felt the moment slipping through his fingers. Alistair’s words echoed in him, frantic and raw, layered with resignation that made his chest ache. Use me. Seal me. Kill me when I’m no longer useful. No. No. That wasn’t mercy. That was just another cage, another execution delayed. Alex looked at him, really looked. The shaking hands. The blood at his lips. The way the mountain itself rejected him like poison. This wasn’t a monster cornered into bargaining. This was someone who had reached the end of himself and was asking to end it. But not because he wanted to be erased but because he had no other choice. He listened to the hurried words, to the desperation tucked beneath the logic. To the way Alistair framed his own life as a currency already spent. Each sentence landed like a bruise and Alexander’s chest tightened, confusion blooming sharp and painful behind his ribs. This was surrender. And it terrified him. “Alistair…” he started, then stopped. He didn’t know which part to respond to first. The curse he mentioned. The way Alistair spoke of redemption like a childish fantasy Alex had foolishly planted in his head. What have I done to you? he wondered, guilt coiling in his stomach. What hope did I give you that hurt this badly to lose? He shook his head slowly, blond hair catching the dim light between the trees. “I’m not going to use you,” he said, voice steady despite the storm inside him. “And I’m not going to keep you like a weapon or prisoner waiting to be discarded.” That thought alone made him sick. But the priests were coming. He could feel them now, their intent, prayers empowering the wards, fury tightening like a net along the path. There was no time to argue philosophy or untangle curses. He had to act. Think, Alex. Think. His gaze flicked over Alistair and then it clicked. A risky and reckless thought. But it felt right. This is it, he thought. It should work, he thought as his eyes light up a little with hope. “I can anchor you,” Alex said sofly, heart pounding now. “Not as a seal or a prison… but as a ward.” The idea was half doctrine, half instinct, something his teachers would call impossible and his father would call heresy. A forbidden ritual. Ink-stained pages hidden behind censored shelves. A book he’d read by candlelight when he was too young to understand why his hands shook afterward. A devotional paradox, the author had called it. A mercy ritual. A restraint born of consent and trust. Alex’s breath trembled. His entire upbringing screamed at him to stop. To step back. To let the priests finish what they started. His father’s voice lived in his bones, sharp and absolute. Demons are not saved. They are ended. But when Alex looked at Alistair again, all he saw was someone breaking. A priest may bind a demon not through dominion, but through shared burden. Blood must be given freely. Consent must be absolute. The priest becomes anchor. The demon becomes bound not by chains, but by proximity and will. When Alistair looked at him Alex continued quickly. “It binds you to me,” he said, not looking away. “If you lose control, I feel it. If you intend harm, I can interfere. And if I ever believe you truly are a danger then the bond allows me to sever you.” A paused. “It keeps you close enough that the wards read you as mine,” Alex said. “A living tether,” he murmured, more to himself now. “As an extension of my presence. Not an intruder. And you'll have your silence.” He swallowed. In the distance, footsteps, voices and hums like prays were approaching which meant they didn’t had much time. “There’s no time,” Alex whispered looking up the path but then turned to look at Alistair. “This will only work if you trust me”, he said biting his lip. “Only works if you choose it. If you consent willingly” he whispered looking worried that the demon might not accept it and he would fail to save him. “Alistair …. Do you trust me?” he asked as he drew a small ritual blade from his sleeve. His hand trembled only after the steel met his palm. Blood welled instantly, warm and bright. He turned his bleeding palm upward. “If you consent and take my hand,” he whispered, “I can protect you. I won’t force anything upon you that I know it might hurt you in any ways. You’ll be under my responsibility” he took a deep breath. “We can figure out what to do after” For a long second, Alistair didn’t move then he nodded. He mirrored Alex cuting his own palm, teeth clenched. When their hands clasped, blood slid together, dark and gold mixing as if it had always known where to go. The ritual ignited without words. Alex gasped as heat surged through his veins, not burning but warm, intimate. A presence settled into his chest, steady and vast, like an anchor dropped into deep water. He gasped as symbols flared briefly across his skin, invisible but felt, sinking beneath flesh and bone. Wards shuddered violently. Talismans cracked. The suffocating pressure vanished from Alistair in a single, shuddering breath and then the wards snapped back into place in confusion. And then … “Alexander!” His father’s voice cut through the air like a blade. The ritual sealed just as Mr. Sato emerged from the trees with the other priests, light snapping shut around Alex and Alistair like a closed circle. “What have you done?” his father demanded, eyes wide with fury and something dangerously close to fear. His eyes went immediately to their joined hands. To the blood. To the air itself bending around them. He could feel it. The bond. Alex straightened slowly, still holding Alistair upright. “I bound him to me,” he said. His voice shook, but it did not break. “By blood. By consent.” A stunned silence followed then the clearing exploded into shouting. “You performed a forbidden rite—” “How could you Young Master—” “This is outrageous—” “Enough,” Mr. Sato snapped, raising a hand. Silence fell instantly. “You used a forbidden rite,” his father said coldly. “You endangered the temple.” “No,” Alex replied. “I took responsibility for what the temple refuses to understand.” Mr. Sato stepped closer, eyes blazing. “Undo it. Now.” Alex’s chest tightened but he didn’t look away. He met his gaze for the first time not as a son, or as an heir, but as a priest with his own convictions. “I can’t,” he said. “And neither can you.” The murmurs among the priests grew louder. They all felt it now. Alistair’s presence tethered unmistakably to Alexander’s light. “For the first time,” his father said coldly, “you chose rebellion over duty.” “No,” Alex replied. His voice shook, but it held. “I chose empathy over fear.” “You don’t understand what you’ve done.” “I understand perfectly,” Alex said. “You can’t touch him. Not without going through me.” A pause. “You taught me that faith is sacrifice,” Alex continued quietly. “That light exists to bear burdens so others don’t have to.” His hand tightened protectively at Alistair’s side. “This is mine.” His father’s jaw clenched and fire burned in his eyes. This was the first time Alex ever spoke to him like this. The first time he defied him. Mr. Sato stared at him, searching for hesitation but there was non. “…This demon is now under your watch,” Mr. Sato said slowly .“If he so much as twitches you’ll… ” his father started. “Then I answer for it,” Alex said firmly. “And I will.” A long, terrible silence followed. For the first time in his life, Alexander Sato stood against his father. He didn’t see it as defiance, but more as an unwavering mercy. For the first time he wasn’t in his father’s shadow anymore. But in his own light which protected those who needed it and requested it.

Alistair was too lost in the pure bliss of silence that he didnt even register the fact that Alexander didn't push him away. He had been forceful and invaded his personal space due to his desperation. He suddenly felt a gentle touch on his wrists, a steady hold, to help ease his shaking. He had never felt such a gentle touch in his life....or maybe...he had in his past life. He couldn't remember. [“I—... Is this… what it’s like for you?”] Alistair froze as there eyes met. What did he mean by that? Could they be similar...was he capable of understanding him? What happened next were questions, and a desire to help. To listen. To understand. Alexander wanted to know what happened. What was wrong...And for some reason the priest cared about him. In a way that neither of them could wrap their head around. [ “I don’t know why it’s you, I’ve seen demons suffer before. I’ve argued for mercy. I’ve believed in redemption. But this— This feels… different. And I don’t know what to do with that.”] Different. Yes....this was different. He gave him hope...something he had forgotten. Telling him that he wasnt going anywhere while he was in this state. That he wasn't alone. Something Alistair desperately needed to hear. The blond placed there foreheads back together, and once again he felt a wave of calmness... of warmth and for a moment...he felt safe. By the time he calmed down Alexander's five minutes had passed. Alistair could hear the priests descending the mountain in search of their precious golden child. There wasn't enough time to explain it all...but he quickly realized that he had three options. Submit to Cain. Submit to Alexander Or die right here and now. To give up. But he wasnt sure how much more he could take with so many threads and emotions pouring into him. He needed to think, and fast. He pulled away and lowered his hands. He had clamed down a little, but you could tell he was exhausted. " T-take me hostage. Use me..seal me into confinement, the life I've lived before is over now. If I leave here...The curse that has been placed on me will consume me... " He spoke fast, but serious. If he submitted to Cain...then he'd lose his chance at redemption. Or at least...thats the silly idea Alexander put in his head. That he wasnt beyond saving...that he still had a soul. " The curse makes me unable to manipulate the karmic strings around me...so I'm not a threat to anyone," he muttered. And now, humans threads harmed him. " Im sure I can be useful to you...all I ask is that you seal the karmic demons...who turned me into this... The moment I'm no longer useful... you can just kill me. Cleanse my soul...whatever you want to call it. "(That will be... my revenge) Cain wanted him so the biggest 'fuck you' he could give...was making sure he didnt submit. Alistair knew he wasn't powerful or capable enough to break this curse...and he didn't want to be Cains underling, because if he did. There was no saving him. Hed be far too gone. And yet...he didn't want his death to be meaningless...this was his way of giving something back. _____________________________ "High Priest! High Priest! Mr. Sato frowned in irritation as a random underling interrupted his prayer time. "This better be good!" He muttered. "Sir, its about the disturbance on the mountain. A demon tried to reach the temple. We surrounded it but....but.. "But? Out with it." "Y-your son....he insisted on showing the demon mercy...and escorted it down the mountain..." "He what?" ( To put this temple in such danger! What is he thinking?! )

Cody blushes and holds onto Cory as he looks over at Akira and Shuji, resting his head against Cory's chest before looking at him, "c-can we keep going though?"

Cody slowly opens his eyes, noticing Adrian really was asleep as he slowly closes his eyes again, falling back asleep.

Me too, please 🙏
