Chapter 186 Be Good (2)
Be good.
Be good.
Be good.
As years passed by, the lion cub kept repeating those words again and again but as all living things do…it too reached it too reached its breaking point.
It felt ‘it’ for the first time when it was being trained, the cub felt complete, as if it had reunited with a long-lost friend. As the cub familiarized itself with this strange energy….this mana, it got stronger…more sharper, the mana widened its thinking capacity, so much that it could even understand its masters.
The world was slowly changing and the cub felt that freedom was within its grasp,...now…all it had to do was grab onto it and never let go.
“ Faster dammit !”, the young master screamed threatening the young lion and its brothers, who quickly jumped through their hoops wanting to avoid the wrath of the whip but…the young lion was different….it had decided to leave with its mother.
‘Whip’
The young master kept true to his word and whipped the young lion, but other than feeling ticklish…the lion felt fine.
“ SBE AGOOD”, The lion said, a grin spread across its face.

“ Labaadoobalabbadobaaadoo”, Elena hummed along as she made her way into the barn where her family trained the animals. Elena was excited, the world was changing…..angels, demons, mana…things that were nothing but a fairy tail were slowly coming true and Elena couldn’t help but feel excited.
Elena stopped humming as she noticed something strange.
“ Is….that…blood ?”, she asked herself, bending down at the small puddle that had formed below the door.
After confirming that it was indeed blood, Elena quickly rushed to open the door but what lay behind the door wasn’t something she could have ever imagined.
Blood.
It was the only thing that stood out to her, blood covered every inch of the large barn and in the middle stood her favorite lion….her Leo.
‘Thud’
She fell on her knees as she saw the mutilated body parts of her family….they had been killed mercilessly…without hesitation.
“ MFOTHER.”, The young lion said, edging toward her.
“ Stop….”, Elena whimpered out, her words carried away by the brisk wind.
“ M-monster.”
The young lion cub frowned upon hearing his mother’s words, he clears his throat and said in a clear voice,
“ My name….is Leo.”
Silence presided over the barn but soon screams followed.

Adam and Leo stared at each other, both had a face devoid of any emotion. Just as the tension was reaching it’s limit.
Luna’s voice echoed throughout the village, all the villagers turned to face her as they her words….no word.
She had asked Leo the only question she had to ask him,
“ Why ?”
