☀️ Arselia and Akonia

Victor Loss sometimes pondered the deeds he had committed while his heart and soul were clouded by the vice of insatiable anger, but he felt no remorse about it. Most people in his position would likely have fallen into a deep depression or sought any opportunity to somehow justify themselves to themselves or others. For example, by repeatedly telling himself and others that the curse, not him, was to blame for everything. The former captain of the guard, who, by the nature of his duty, had deprived many people of their freedom and sometimes their lives, was inclined to believe that all this was naive and petty nonsense. Regardless of his state of mind, he had done what he had done, and no amount of reasoning on serious philosophical or religious topics could change that. At the same time, he was too pragmatic to focus his attention on things that were in the past. The strange priestess had given him a chance at a second life, and the princess had given him a job – and that was good; with such cards, one could certainly play the game called "life." To complain about such a hand and not make the most of it, when there were so many people in the world in worse conditions than him, would be both foolish and would show a lack of taste. Be that as it may, his main goal now was to complete the task before him as efficiently as possible, and then we would see what happens. One of the following days, the captain of the cozy, albeit somewhat unassuming, squad was walking through the now familiar Barsia and decided to step into one of the alleys to relieve himself. As he watered the wall of someone's house with a light yellow liquid, he suddenly remembered a funny joke from his youth, when his friends had given him the nickname "Instant." It was a strange nickname, but it went well with his last name. "Instant Loss." It sounds good. And in the next moment, the ex-apostle died instantly, never realizing that an arrow, filled with someone's hatred and anger that had accumulated over many days, had flown from somewhere and pierced his heart. A few minutes later, scavengers flew up to his now lifeless body and soon there was nothing left on him but his clothes. And so ended the life of this unusual man.
