Chapter Text
It was the day that Gunmar and his soldiers left through the gate in killahead, the sun was on the sky and the Gumm-Gumms were standing under the trees, waiting for the night to arrive
Onyx: Father ... ?
Gunmar looks behind to see Onyx and Dictatious standing there, watching him with concern .
Gunmar: Dictatious
Dictatious: Y-Yes my lord ?
Gunmar: I want some time alone, and take my son with you please...
As Dictatious is about to take Onyx's hand to get back to the other soldiers , the young warrior speaks up.
Onyx: I know you miss him, you keep looking at the bridge where Bular-
Gunmar: I know...
Gunmar interrupts, he was still devastated by his son's death, he couldn't bear to hear the same story again without anger and sadness running in his head, making him slowly tear up as he remembers his son. How long hasn't been since the Gumm-Gumm king broke down like this ? How long has it been that he allowed himself to be vulnerable.
Onyx joins his adopted dad on staring at the metal bridge, seeing him cry like this for the very first time, it shattered his heart.He knew there was a way to revive him, there had to be a way, he thought as he grabbed Gunmar's hand, but now wasn't the time to think about that.
Dictatious slowly grabs the Skull Crusher's hand, looking at their faces as his own eyes begin to weep, even when not knowing about Bular, he still could feel the pain their hearts had to carry.
The silence stayed for minutes as the family mourned the loss of their child before continuing to discuss the plans to defeat the Troll Hunter until night time.
Some time later
Nighttime has finally arrived
Gunmar and Dictatious went to the Janus Order hideout, while Onyx was in the forest, hunting,not out of hunger, but out of frustration that he wasn't allowed to go, due to his temper towards his mother.
Onyx: This is such a load of Bushigal, I want to make that filthy Krubera PAY !! But Instead im forced to be here in the surface, there is not even a soldier to fight me !!
As he continues to wonder around the florest, something that seems like a small Black cat appears in his sight, preparing his spear, he slowly approaches the creature, entering a cave.
Onyx: And... GOTCHA !!
Onyx Throws his spear at the cat, but misses by an inch, as the cat climbs through a big opening in the roof of the cave, escaping the troll.
Onyx: *sigh* Good reflexes little one, but next time I'm not going to miss
He says as he takes the spear of the ground, looking up at the hole that the cat escaped to, staring at the moon shining its light into the cave.
...
but then, as soon as he turns around, the light inside the cave becomes red, and a single message appears on top of the cave's entrance.
"For the souls in need of guidance, the Bloodmoon is mine to command"
