The Borders
Part 22 – Darkness Lyam
.

Lyam did not fight back as she was immersed in the darkness, a feeling she had never felt so strongly before, starting to permeate her.
Hatred, silence and darkness. It was a scary feeling for Lyam, he didn't know what to do with it. He prefers to just resign and drown slowly because of it.
Lyam recalled Kashel preferring to leave her alone, and it made her feel lonely for it. He didn't want to be left alone, that was his mind at the time.
Hate, Liam remembers all the things about the people he has lost before him in the past. And finally leave the darkness and its solitude.
In a different place Kashel suffered with his own pain the feeling of Liam passing through him, because it was Lyam who chose to do nothing. Such a strong feeling of fear.
Everyone who saw Kashel like that thought that Kashel was exposed to the effects of dark smoke, but what really happened was not like that.
All the Boundary Guard Knights then worked together to destroy the core of that Dark Spirit, liam's magic energy could not be retrieved and returned to the original core of the Dark Spirit like the Boundary Knights who lost consciousness. It just makes them interested in getting together and taking over Lyam's body.
After the Boundary Guard Knights managed to destroy the core of the Dark Spirit, the Dark Spirit began to vanish and the dark smoke disappeared as well. People who fall into a coma are slowly conscious.
Liam was seen standing still, he then walked into the darkness of the forest afterwards. Kashel who had not felt tightness in himself immediately rose up after knowing the feeling that Lyam felt, although still limp he forced himself to stand.
"Hurry, we have to help her." Kashel said weakly pointing towards Liam leaving.
Fortunately his friends understood Kashel's intentions and brought him to Lyam. They finally realized Kashel was in pain because of Lyam who was in pain anyway.
They then led Kashel into the dark forest that Lyam entered. After searching around, it was seen Liam sitting leaning under a large tree while staring blankly.
Kashel and Erphan and Luan approach Lyam. While Anna he rested inside the medical tent, because he was still unconscious.
"I'm sorry that I don't understand how you feel, you should say that you can also feel human feelings." Kashel held out his hand.
"Is that a human feeling?" Lyam still doesn't understand.
"Yes, your feelings should develop someday. So it's not just that scary feeling you're going to feel, it's a dark human feeling." Obviously Kashel, he remembered the dark feeling that passed through him earlier. Luan and Erphan were just listening, as they had not yet connected with the chatter of Lyam and Kashel.
"You should have said if you didn't want to be left alone, it would feel better Liam." Kashel smiled brightly.
"...." - ".Lyam just kept quiet not knowing what to say.
"How do you respond, friends, this one of our friends can also feel lonely?" Finally Luan and Erphan understood after Kashel gave a little explanation.
"Yes, you should have said it." Luan directly interfered.
"That's fine," Erphan responded. Liam grabbed Kashel's hand.
"It's important to do it all." Mumbled Lyam smiled knot.
"You are still, bragging about your solitude. Left alone you're upset. Weird." Kashel protested with Liam's remarks and Lyam was silent afterwards.
"You are also our friend Lyam" Kashel said. Slowly the darkness in Liam's heart faded away he felt the warmth there.
They finally decided to go home after that. Watching the three people tell a story, Liam felt a calmness.
After that, Liam fell unconscious. Everyone was panicking, because the notoriously terrifying Lyam could fall unconscious as well.
Kashel was not affected, as not all of Liam's pain could be felt by Kashel. Unlike if Kashel were unconscious, though not Kashel, Liam could do nothing, because his magic energy would be chaotic.

"I told you, if he's strong. He won't sign a contract with me." Kashel spoke to his friends who were gathering.
"However, despite his unconsciousness he remains creepy as well." Anna's words echoed those of Kashel.
"For me Lyam who is like this, looks more alive." Grizelle was there too.
"Mr Liam!" Kyler.
"Whoah! Whoa! What is this," the new Rigel comes in disbelief.
"Can you not be noisy!" Freda hit Rigel on the head.
Slowly listening to the commotion Liam opened his eyes slowly.
"Why are you so excited, we should be grateful that Liam has come to his senses." Erphan who was behind Luan protested because Luan bumped into him.
Chain who was sitting leisurely just looked at all of them.
"Haha!" Kashel laughed in response to the behavior of his friends.
.

Liam sat himself down weak, he did not believe that others would see this weak.
"Hmm, are you ashamed of Liam?" Kashel wobbly watched Lyam's unusual face.
"What did you say?" lyam's gaze looked sharp again as usual making everyone shudder in horror at it.
"You don't have to hide it, no matter what your weaknesses are known to us. We're all friends here." Kashel held onto Lyam's shoulder. Kashel's friend nodded in agreement and someone smiled as well.
"Whyam I didn't expect your feelings to really develop" Kashel was amazed himself.
"It was all because of your influence Kashel, as a human being. You're a person who has very strong feelings." Liam stood up and left the room.
"Hah she remains the usual Lyam. It hasn't changed" Rigel said.
"That's the Lyam we know" Kashel told friends.
"It is better that we continue our activities again." Anna opened her voice, because she had a lot of work to do.
They all finally disperse themselves busy at their respective activities.
.

Lyam and Kashel were seen speaking with four eyes after that.
"So what do you want to talk to me about?" ask Kashel.
"Do you want to hear my story. Why should I tie a contract with someone." Lyam wanted to explain.
"Let's see, I don't really want to know that. Knowing I was bound to you, I still half accepted it.
"I think we should be introduced in a way without having to bind a contract. And become a good friend naturally" explains Kashel.
"But that was the predestined way of Kashel, that we might become as close as we are now because naturally it is obviously impossible." Liam Bright.
"Yes destiny?" Kashel looked the other way.
"Even if you don't want to hear his long story right now, I'll still say it." Liam said again
"Kashel's bond with you could hinder the darkness devouring me." Obviously Lyam he left after that. Kashel remained silent. He had guessed that Lyam was contracting with a human there must be something that forced him to do it.
That's how important this bond is. Inner Kashel, he remembered how darkness wanted the existence of Liam but now that Lyam was not alone should as long as it was not swallowed directly by darkness, the existence of Lyam would definitely not be threatened.
Kashel realizes his responsibility is to maintain the balance of Lyam, the form of the border so as not to run amok and endanger the two worlds as Lyam said before.
"In this world there must be one or two people who are different from others whether it is a deficiency or an excess that is too pleasant or too painful. But among many people why should I be different, someone who can't even thank him at all. Because I know there are thousands or even millions of people out there who want what I don't want." Kashel muttered to himself.
"In the end, that is destiny. Destiny, destiny and destiny. Hah, why do I have such a heavy duty." Kashel breathed in lethargy, conscious himself while sitting propped up his chin with one hand.
Now his main goal is to find his own happiness and to keep the happiness of others, which is what matters most to Kashel.
"It's useless I'm complaining, it won't change the truth." Kashel continued to babble on his own.
"Chairman why are you talking alone like that" Kyler sat in front of Kashel.
"Have you heard what I said just now?" ask Kashel.
"No, it's just that the Chairman looks like he keeps complaining." Kyler.
"Kyler how did you become strong?" kashel asked a little curious, he did not want to discuss about his complaint anymore.
"What the chairman was curious about me, but it's not so interesting actually. It might not be as beautiful as the life of the chairman filled with luxuries." Kyler. Kashel simply smiled in response to Kyler not knowing anything about her life just yet.
