etihw did not wait long as after a few minutes kcalb entered his room. through the crystal she hid in his room, she watched as kcalb went to prepare for a nap he needed desperately to clear his mind.
he removed his cape jacket and laid it on the chair of his desk. he looked into the mirror and contemplated for a moment. he gently placed his hand at his back and looked in the mirror. etihw only watched confusingly. then he slowly removed his blazer, then his white collared shirt. etihw noticed a bit of blood stained on the back of his white under shirt. as kcalb took off the final clothing piece that covered his back, what followed next was a terrifying and dreadful sight.
his back, where what would look like a pair of wings would be, was bleeding out only a little bit. there were fresh scabs covering some of the parts. some blood was crystallized while some were clumpy. the two scars were far from getting healed. etihw was left in a state of horror. she quickly wandered through her thoughts. how did he get those ghastly scars? was it from ivlis' attack? how has it not healed? the god tried searching deeper. she looked back to the pact they had made and tried to recall any bandages or wrapping around his back. she couldn't recall so she looked farther into the past.
kcalb was bandaging and treating the gaping wound on his back while sitting on his coffin bed. he flinched a bit at the pain, which surprised etihw as she knew from the war that he had a high tolerance when it came to pain, i mean his whole arm was cut off and he still acted upon ivlis during the invasion! she looked at him then the coffin he sat on. she then added a thought to her million others. why does he like sleeping in that thing? it was dark and damp and not to mention you can't even mo-
etihw suddenly stopped thinking. it all made sense... why he never leaned on his chair, why he acted hostile to etihw's joke about flying, why he slept in that coffin...
she covered her mouth as tears began falling down her face.

"do it" kcalb ordered at the god who was looking down on him with a dark expression. the powerful king of demons was leaning against a crumbling wall, diamond projectiles pierced his right leg and shoulders. he was covered in blood. both his wings were
oken and had a few projectiles in them.
the god did not know what to do. she has won the war, why isn't she ending it? kcalb slowly got up clutching his right arm "what are you waiting for?! kill me! " he cried. she looked at him, through his fierce eyes. she saw a glimpse of a
oken man who wanted to so badly die. she wandered how long he wanted his wish come true.
but at that moment, with all the destruction and death this devil had caused, she dared not to stare into those eyes. blinded by anger, she dared not to see past all that.
