《3 Hearts》Think and Despair

4 Days until my execution
As you could probably guess, I'm still in jail. And there really isn't anything I could do about it.
It's boring, but at least I get good and plentiful food, this is probably a kind of extended executioner's meal. Not that I mind good food, but the reason, for which I get it is headache-inducing to me.
When I'm not eating I just sit there and think about different things.
What really bothers me are the words Miles our chief warrior said to me.
How the hell did a whole day pass, without me noticing it? And why did I sleep there in the first place? This never happened before, I often slept there, but never for long, because something there always made me stay on alert, which I thought, was because it was just a forbidden place.
But after I asked Miles, it seems I slept there for 24 hours, or even more!
I remember some kind of dream, I had while sleeping there and I can tell, it wasn't a nice one, as it gives me chills when I try to think about it, but I just can't remember what exactly happened in there.
I guess I won't get anywhere, by thinking too much about something trivial as a dream, but "luckily" there's more to think about.
For example, the words my teacher or rather ex-teacher told to miles.
What does he mean, "Every single one of the people was taught by him"?
He looks like he's in his early thirties, maybe even late twenties, so how could he have taught our warriors for example who're all more than 40 years old? I always thought Miles is untouchable here. I never would have guessed the Priest is more influential than him.
And why does he hate me THAT much? I know, I wasn't the best student so far, but especially in theoretical lessons definitely not the worst.

I think his actions are "slightly" over the top, wouldn't you say so? a man who am I even talking to, there is no one here.
In times like these, I always think about my parents, of which I have no memories, and nobody seems to know anything about them. They always just tell me the story, how they found me in an abandoned house at the edge of the town, after they defended themselves against one of the worst monster invasions so far. I think it was Miles on one of his first official Missions, who saved the baby me from the monsters, but that's the only thing I know. I don't think Miles remembers this, he saved too many people in his life for that.
It is rumoured, that the teacher is one of the strongest fighters here. Some think he is even stronger than Miles.
This would explain, why the priest could put this much pressure on Miles.
Miles is by the way the only one who started visiting me every now and then, in the last five days.
I've never talked to him before this whole incident, but he seems to be sorry for my current situation and often apologizes to me, for dragging me out there to the masses.
I then always tell him, I'm not mad at him for just doing his job, instead, I'm only mad at the Priest who turned the whole town against me.
He always looks mad for a moment when I mention the Priest, but in the end, he just smiles bitterly at me, seemingly he can't forgive himself even though I can. And he seems like he wants to help me, but can't.
But other than that he`s a really nice guy surprisingly, with whom the conversations are always interesting, as he tells me things about the Party he leads into the deeper tunnels to exterminate monsters and their accomplishments.

Although I do not have any Power myself, I paid attention to our lessons, and know a bit about Power levels and classes, so I even asked Miles a question, which you usually should never ask someone. But I didn't care, as I was already doomed to die.
And surprisingly Miles answered my question, what class, and what level he has
He said he is a level 40 warrior.
I was really surprised as I heard that because that meant he was close to reaching the level 50 mark, where he could advance his class to a stronger one, which would give him a huge boost in power. And warrior is already a tier 2 class! Before that, there is usually a soldier or apprentice, and only then the warrior.
Although that let me dream about how it would be, to be strong, this is the closest I'll ever get to being strong... with dreaming.
And at some point, even those topics couldn't distract me anymore.

2 Days until my execution
I'm nervous, and couldn't sleep for two nights straight. Why? Because I'm going to die? no.
But I'm freaked out by the way they want to kill me.
I heard guards talking about it.
They want to make me explode. They think they know, what they are supposed to do, or what their god hinted at.
They want to force mana into me, MUCH mana. Until I either explode, which would be fast at least, or until I start melting from the energies.
Yes MELTING, and I would feel all of it, for a long time.
What the fuck is wrong with this town? I live here for 17 years already, and although I am a loner, I know many of these people, and I would never have thought something like this could happen!
What happened to this town? What did this asshole of a teacher do to them? And why me!? WHY?
WHY? WHY? ...
I really need someone to talk to, but Miles doesn't show up anymore, he definitely turned against me as well, as everyone did,
he MUST have since everyone hates me.
I'm desperate, hated by everyone, betrayed, doomed to die painfully, and alone.
||Kill||
A distorted, hard, and deep voice said determined somewhere near me.
"Who the... Don't fuck with me, show yourself, as I'm already mad enough. Or even better, just piss off and mock someone else!" I shouted with all my might, which quickly made guards rush up to my cell, where they quickly told me to just stay silent, as not to dishonour the gods because a sacrifice doesn't have to say anything.
I just grit my teeth and stay silent, as they even threatened to cut my tongue out, if I can't keep my mouth shut.
When the guards left again, I heard the same voice as before again.
||Kill all||
After that, the voice stayed silent, but the word "Kill" triggered something in me. Something wild and violent, something I never felt before. The feeling, that overcame me was called "Wrath".

8 214Point of View
Adrian Shepherd is alive in Santa Monica. Successfully fleeing from the target zone of a nation-wide terroristic threat was not easy, nor did it come free. Adrian had to abandon parents who turned deaf ears, but even more heart-crushing was leaving behind someone who meant the world to Adrian, someone who he had shared his whole life with. Now, he survives with broken memories chasing him. Confliction turns him from wanting to live and wanting to die. Guilt wretches him as he craves the forgiveness he can never have. Maybe tomorrow will bring a brighter day, or maybe more problems. **Cover Photo is Temporary** **I would say the story has light gore and traumatizing events, to the point that I originally didn't check the content warnings. Be advised.**
