[b]Chapter Thirty Five[/b]
Cain rose slowly from the ground. He held
his stomachs wounds with his pale hand and blood ran through his fingers and to the ground. He grasped his blade, and used it to help him stand. He held it upright, but as soon as he stood up he collapsed to his knees. His right hand remained gripped on the grip of the blade as his left covered his wounds. His face was scarred, his ashen hair was stained red and looked burnt on its edges but his piercing blue eyes still stood out like a light in the darkness. He looked up at Tubbs, his mouth open to take in his deep breaths.
"T-that..." Cain began. "Was...it was truly...fantastic." He complimented Tubbs weakly.
[spoiler]For Tubbs[/spoiler]

-
"You giving up now?"
-
"You...did just...impale me." Cain told Tubbs as he winced. "I...cannot even lift my blade."
-
"What happened to that whole 'I will fight to the end' thing?"
-
"I...think the end qualifies as you impaling me with a trident. Agh!" He let out as he winced again. "The way you fight...I have never seen anything like it. It is truly fantastic."
-
"Yeah... I get that a lot."
-
"You deserve it." Cain told Tubbs as he winced again. He looked at Tubbs now, his face growing a frown. "Well...don't keep me in suspense then." He told Tubbs.
-
"What? Oh yeah my bad. You want my autograph right?" He pulls out a marker. "Got something for me to sign?"
-
"No." Cain told Tubbs bluntly. "Finish this."
-
"Um... if you don't have anything for me to sign. Then I can't finish this."
-
"NO!" Cain yelled. He seemed to not appreciate Tubbs's lack of caring. "Kill me! You have won. So this is how it must end!"
-
"In the great words of Ozzyman, 'Yeah nah'."
-
"What do you mean?! You won't grant me an honourable death?! What is this?!" He asked with confusion.

He said "Mercy is showing one the act of... eh... this isn't a real dictionary..." To which Tubbs replied, "One job... ONE JOB! IS THAT SO HARD TO ASK?! Get out of here!" Tubbs 2 disappeared. "Anyways, you probably know what mercy is. Right?"
-
"Yes, I know what mercy is! This is not it!" Cain yelled. "You have defeated me on the battlefield. I cannot be taken prisoner or I will be a failure to my father. I cannot simply leave otherwise I am a traitor. I refuse to betray my Family Mr.Sky!" He continued to yell at Tubbs.
-
"Then kill yourself Hannah. But I'd rather live and be a failure/traitor than die."
-
"I...I would never..." he began. He bowed his head almost shamefully. "I can't betray the family...even though they did what they did to my brother."
-
"Well, I'm not gonna kill you. So find someone else to do it."
-
Edited by Inflatablepants: 6/7/2017 1:13:31 AM"You are such an asshole." Cain told Tubbs as he winced in pain. "To think I could be bested by an honourable man. I suppose I don't deserve such luck after what I have done."
-
"Oh ok. I see. I'm the bad guy because I won't kill you! Tell me, is all your family this pathetic? I mean, I know Deity was. Anyways, what did you mean with the whole" He proceeded using a terrible Cain impression. "I don't deserve this blah blah blah."
-
"Did you not even know why you came here to begin with?!" Cain asked him. "I had my brother killed! This was after eight thousand years of being a corpse! I didn't get to greet him properly, or say hello. My brother Felix had other plans. He and my father Tywin plotted and had Alex killed publicly, and could I do anything? Of course I could have. But I did nothing...absolutely nothing." Cain actually began to shed tears which streamed down his blood stained face. "I stood there....just...stood there and held my little sister Lilly back while my father executed my younger brother." He looked back up at Tubbs. "Don't you see?! Don't you see why you have to kill me?! If not that, then how about Ite? Or Bjorn?! Were they not your allies?! Stop...stop standing around like I did at the castle! END THIS! PLEASE!"
-
"You know what? You're right. I should kill you. But I won't. You let your brother die. And now you got to live with that for the rest of your life. And that's far worse punishment than death." [spoiler]straight savage[/spoiler]

He looked back to the ground. "You-" "CAIN!" A voice suddenly cried out. It was a girls voice, not yet matured from what Tubbs heard and as he turned his head he saw a small girl with white hair sprinting towards the two. Cain looked up at the oncoming figure with squinted eyes as a dawn of realization came over his face. "Lilly...?!" He said with a confused manner. This girl was now immediately confirmed to Tubbs as Lilly Coldbourne, the youngest of the siblings. Royal had been sent out on a quest to find her so... How was she here? Running towards him?
-
"Hold up. What were you gonna say before she came?"
-
He didn't answer Tubbs as Lilly rain up and put her hands around Cains shoulders and hugged him. She was shorter, about 5'4 if Tubbs could size her up. She wore a white coat and pants along with her white boots. She had ashen hair, like her brother, and she shared features with him like the high cheekbones and blue eyes. "Don't hurt him! Please don't hurt him any more sir!" She begged Tubbs as she continued to hug Cain. Cain looked past her as he hugged his sister towards Tubbs. "I...don't think you need to worry about that Lilly." He told his sister.

"Where did you come from anyways? You interrupted our conversation." [spoiler]i thought there was like a ring of fire around us[/spoiler]
