A few days later....
The Guards had tried to fight the Giant octopus but it was of no use.
One mental blast from it and all of them fell straight to the ground, adding up more numbers to the dead.
Like the others, Moses rushed forward.
It was at this point that he noticed victor dangling like a pendulum bulb from the ship.
"Victor!" He screamed.
"Moses!?" Victor was surprised to see Moses. He had aided Moses to go to sleep but here he was.
As much as Victor was surprised, his life was more important.
"Moses, HELP!"
Moses kicked against the ground as his body morphed from human into that of a large aggressive wolf.
He pounced on the ground and then unto the tentacle of the Octopus.
With a jump into the air, he rushed for the Octopus.
Like the other guards before him, he waved his claws Slashing it at the Tentacles, flesh out the tendrils that reached for him.
With every swipe, he lounged forward to reach Victor.
His speed as he climbed into the ship that had already been lifted above the head of the Octopus was incredible, as he defied even gravity just to make sure that he reached Victor.
Moses was an incredible Warrior, as he moved, it was as if he had become a Whirlwind.
He sped through the air, at a pace that would have normally been impossible for a person to move.
And soon, he had arrived at Victor.
However, Just when he was about to reach him, a tendril shot out unexpectedly whipping him in the air.
His fall to the ground was aggressive.
Moses was shut back all the way to the wall.
The hit made him vomit some blood as he rolled on the ground like a rag doll.
Dust and sand went up in the air at the hard force of his crash to the ground.
"Moses!!!" Victor screamed in worry.
"Ahhh!" Moses moaned in pain.
Unlike the other guards, Noses was of a higher rank.
That meant that his armor was of a better quality.
It's quality was just good enough that it allowed for Moses's insides not to be totally crushed.
It was in this manner that he managed to survive against an attack that should have rightly killed him.
*Cough* cough*
Moses coughed up some blood.
"Shit! The old wounds have opened up again. Damn it!" He cursed.
The old wounds on his body from the fight in the desert had opened up again.
Moses tried to stand, but his body failed him for strength.
He was too battered and bruised to even sit up right.
Every movement he made or tried to make felt as if he blades were slicing and dicing his insides.
He could not help but Groan hard as he tried to rise back up to his feet, but every effort was met with more damage to his insides.
By now, the Octopus had lifted the ship upside down, squeezing it even tighter and crushing it.
The pole that held Victor in place by the hoodie over his head, now showed signs of letting go.
*Crack*
It cracked a little under the pressure of Victor's weight.
At the angle at which the vessel had been Bent and broken, if Victor was going to fall, it would be into the gigantic mouth of the Octopus.
In other words, his death would be secured.
*Crack*
The pole holding victor Cracked again. Any moment now, Victor will fall freely into his doom.
Moses tried harder to push against the ground, but his strength failed him bad.
His body would not just listen to any command from the brain.
All he could do was grit his teeth harshly as he watched Victor about to die.
"No! No!! Great primordial beast, please don't let him fall," Moses prayed, his eyes focusing on the pole.
However, his prayers were not answered as the pole unable to continue sustaining Victor's weight any longer let go one final Cracking sound.
Even though Moses was a distance away, the breaking of that wooden pole was very audible in his ears.
As it let go the weight that was Victor, so did Moses heart break instantly.
"VICTOR!"
Suddenly, images flashed in his mind.
The moment Victor was born, and how he was handed over to him to become the boy's Godfather and Mentor.
The tears, laughter, dreams and aspirations.
All of them washed through his head like a flood, as his eyes watched Victor struggling in the air as he fell to his death.
At this point, Moses suddenly remembered a promise he made a long time ago.
The image of a young beautiful woman with long Ebony hair fluttered through his mind.
"Forgive me, I couldn't protect him." Moses whispered as tears fell from his eyes.
At this moment, Moses no longer desired to look.
He had been there for Victor's birth, seeing his death would be a big blow to his heart.
Moses wanted to look away, but for reasons he could not understand, his eyes would not leave as they managed to still be filled with hope.
Victor on the other hand, closed his eyes tightly.
Like any other person about to experience an untimely death, he did not want to look.
However, something unexpected happened.
Just when Victor was about to join those that had gone into the beast's belly before him, he felt a hand grab his own.
"Hmmm, so you are Victor right?" A subtle relaxing voice asked.
Victor raised his head to see a man with white hair holding him in place by the arm.
This was a face that he had never seen before.
Victor was at a loss for words as he did not know what to say or how to react.
Lenny raised a brow at him, "hey, did you hear me kid? Are you... VICTOR?"
Victor was at a loose for words. He really did not know what to say, and for a second there, he actually forgot his own name.
