Lexie felt as if the weight of the world was pressing down upon her, threatening to make her head spin and topple over at any moment. But to her surprise, Isiah did not push her away. Instead, he embraced her, holding her close and steadying her as she struggled to maintain her balance.
In that moment, words failed her. She did not trust herself to speak, fearing that if she opened her mouth, her emotions would spill out and she would be unable to stop her tears from falling. So instead, she remained silent, taking comfort in Isiah's arms and allowing herself to simply be held.
After a tiresome journey on Jafar's back, Lexie and Isiah finally arrived at the transportation center. The prolonged flight had left Lexie exhausted, and she found herself struggling to stand. Isiah, who had carried Ciel to the ground, noticed her struggles and approached her without a word.
Despite their animosity towards each other, Isiah gently took hold of Lexie's waist, helping her to descend from Jafar's back. She was taken aback by his actions, having expected him to push her away or leave her to fend for herself. Instead, he aided her descent with care, ensuring she reached the ground safely.
Lexie remained perched on Jafar's back, too tired to move, but Isiah came to her aid, gently lifting her down with a steadying hand on her waist.
Ciel, meanwhile, held Eijar with care, and upon landing, proclaimed with a sigh of relief, "Finally, we've arrived." However, the joy of their arrival was short-lived as they were confronted with a grisly sight. The bodies of Eradiosiv and his people lay strewn on the ground, their once proud forms now reduced to a state of utter ruin.
Ciel immediately recognized the handiwork of Isiah and glared at him with a mixture of anger and disgust. Sensing Ciel's distress, Lexie stepped forward, carefully turning him away from the sight and said, "Ciel, please, don't look at them." Her voice was soft and filled with concern, and she offered him a gentle embrace, seeking to shield him from the horrors that lay before them.
"You were right " Ciel whispered.
Isiah feigned deafness as Ciel spoke, pretending to not have caught his words. Ciel was referring to a previous discussion between himself and Lexie on Delwias Island, where she warned that Isiah's killing spree would persist until every obstacle in his path was vanquished. However, upon hearing Ciel's words, Isiah mistakenly thought that Ciel was speaking ill of him to Lexie.
Despite the confusion, Lexie rose to her feet with Ciel's support, following Isiah after he ended summoning Jafar.
As they stepped into the transportation center, Isiah strode ahead, eager to escape the fact that Ciel had to see the haunting sight of the massacre outside .
Lexie and Ciel, however, walked slowly, still grappling with the horror of what they had witnessed.
He felt very exposed in front of Ciel and that made very angry .
Lexie understood Isiah's pain . She knew that he was acting out of hurt and anger, but she couldn't fully condone his actions. Despite this, she still felt a twinge of guilt for leaving him behind in the past, which made it hard for her to fully blame him.
With Ciel's hand in hers, Lexie tried to offer comfort and guidance. She softly whispered, "Try not to pay attention to the terrible things around us, dear. Isiah's actions are not right, but try to remember that he is hurting. Just keep that in mind."
Isih wanted to argue with her and say that he was not hurt, however he didn't waste a second as he kept moving .
Despite the fact that Isiah could hear Lexie's words, he didn't turn around to face her. Instead, he kept moving forward, consumed by his own pain and emotions.
As Lexie and Ciel followed Isiah, they were searching for a sense of peace and security within the transportation center. Isiah was in a state of distress, knowing that the two of them were about to witness the massacre he had inflicted upon the workers. He felt remorseful for exposing Ciel to this horrific sight, but he didn't try to stop them from seeing it.
Upon entering the room where he had left the six mages, Isiah noticed that they had not moved in days. They were still in a state of tears and shock. As soon as they saw Isiah, they fell to the ground, bowing before him, and with heavy tears in their eyes, they declared, "We are under your service, our lord."
As he walked towards the room where he had left the six mages, he could feel the weight of his actions heavy on his shoulders. He had been so consumed with anger and revenge that he hadn't thought about the consequences of his actions. He knew that the mages would still be in a state of shock and he wasn't sure how they would react to seeing him again.
When he entered the room, he saw that the mages had not moved in days. They were still crying, their bodies wracked with sobs. But when they saw Isiah, they immediately fell to their knees and bowed before him, tears streaming down their faces as they spoke. "We are under your service, our lord," they whispered.
Isiah was taken aback by their reaction. He had expected anger and hatred, not submission. He felt a sense of disgust as he looked down at them, his mouth twisting into a snarl. He spat on the floor, the sound echoing through the room. He turned around to see the look on Ciel's face, knowing that the young boy would never be able to forget the atrocities he had just witnessed.
It was a terrible scene, but it was too late. The young boy's eyes were already wide with fear and shock, and he couldn't look away from the sight in front of him. The workers, who were once bustling with activity, now lay motionless on the ground, their lifeless bodies a cruel testament to the horrors that had befallen them.
Isiah could feel the anger and disgust in the room, and he knew that he was the cause of it all. He had made the decision to take their lives, but he had never thought about the consequences of his actions.
The young boy's innocence was now shattered, and he was faced with the reality of the cruel world that he lived in. He couldn't understand why Isiah would do something like this, why he would take the lives of so many people. The sight was too much for him to handle, and he started to cry.
Lexie hugged Ciel tightly, trying to comfort him and protect him from the horrors that surrounded them. "It's okay, my dear," she whispered in his ear, "It's going to be okay. Let's just get out of here".
