(Realismus) A total Sacrifice

A total Sacrifice

It happened on the latter days of the second semester in an Upper-class university when a terrible incident happened. Some said that it was an act of hatred; others called it as a sacrifice to end the suffering given to. In this story being made, the people involved in that situation had suffered totally than the one who brought suffer, or rather say who respond to the suffering given to him by these people; calling it as a martyrdom out of despair.

It was started during the second month of the school year, and it was also a bright sunny day when Albert Harris went to his class. Around him lies the beauty that surrounds the institution where he studied, having good grades he earned, good surroundings, even friends to join with. However, all of these may fade away as the two following months changed him.

Albert, as the students used to call him, despite the good grades he earned as a Political Science student and friends he befriend, got used to be insulted by the majority of the schoolmates he met. Known as a “Bastard”, “Dork”, “Geek”, “Asshole”, “Jackass”, and a “freak”, that guy tried to restrain himself from having a violent response, despite the sufferings laid upon to him whether it was verbally or even physically due to he being boxed in his face and kicked in some of his body by the ones bullying him around-leaving him totally scarred out of an event.

While going outside, Albert looked at the poor people living illegally in the campus premises, as well as the oppressed in the squatter’s area in the city. There he simply talked and given food with them, in which the students used to call him “Crazy” out of his acts while others admired for his love for the poor and the struggle to be with them.

One day, Albert, despite that he is a “shy-boy” type of person, met a girl in the bench. There he simply approached her as the girl, alone sat in a bench, reading a book she borrowed from the library, and he said:
“Miss, may I sit here for a moment?”
Then the girl said:
“You may seat here, but don’t disturb me.”
“Ok...” Albert said, as he sat on the bench trying not to disturb the girl reading.

As the girl left away, she left unknowingly her handkerchief on the bench. There Albert immediately got it and called her:
“Miss, your hankie!”
The lady immediately went back and immediately got her hankie from the boy, and she said:
“Thanks for getting it.”
“There’s no problem miss.” Albert said. “By the way, what is your name?”
“Me?” the girl said. “My name is Cassandra Peterson, you?”
And Harris announced his name:
“Albert Harris.”
Along with a gesture of his hand preparing for a handshake; there Cassandra simply accepted it and said:
“You may meet me at the library if you want.”
And after that, she immediately left away. Leaving what she have said to him be remembered.

At that time, many students were around the locker room as the boys bullying Albert were trying to destroy his locker. These boys, armed with bats, tried to destroy the locker’s door and looking what’s inside of it, Harris, as he went into the room where the incident was, immediately tried to go through, pleading the men to stop it, but the boys, upon noticing Albert’s acts, simply boxed him again and again, as well as caning him with the bats they carried, and after a series of doing it, they left him and the locker destroyed. Many of the students felt the pity towards him; but none of them did not come to help the suffering; except for his friends who immediately went through to send him in the infirmary. There they simply helped the doctor in giving him first aid, followed by a series of bandages in some parts of his body suffered from the incident. Harris, despite of the incidents trying to discredit him, remained silent at that time.

Upon staying in the infirmary alone,
Albert, lying in the bed, stared at the ceiling, trying to think about something that the people around him may likely to remember. There he even thinks that many incidents in his life around the institution tried to devour him of his right to exist, and thus he even wanted something a response to the incidents given to him. At that time, he heard in the radio around the clinic about a suicide bombing in the Middle East where many people killed by a bomber whose bomb were strapped in his body. Upon hearing it, the suffering Albert Harris became fascinated about the idea of a suicide bomber despite the sufferings around him.

After three days in the infirmary, Albert, newly released from that place, immediately went to his class where he cope up some make up classes on the subjects he missed for two days, as well as going to the library where his newly found friend, Cassandra, awaited him. There he, carrying books about Guido Frawkes, simply came forth at her, and said:
“Cassandra, how are you?”
“Me?” Cassandra said. “I’m ok. Still reading books I acquired here.”
“What are these books you have acquired Cassandra?” Harris said.
“These books?” Cassandra said. “These are stories made by Edgar Allan Poe and Marquis de Sade, how about you?”
“Well…” Albert said. “About Guido Frawkes.”
“Oh! The man who attempted to bomb the parliament?” Cassandra said.
And Albert replied:
“Yes.”

And thus, after reading Frawkes, he read about the deeds created by the anarchists in Europe and in America, and one of which was the use of bombs. Cassandra, as she looked at him, asked:
“Albert, what makes you compelled in reading these books?”
“The incidents around me in this place.” Albert said.
And Cassandra replied:
“Why did you say so?”
“Me?” Albert said. “The people around me deprived me of a right to be here, they wanted to disenfranchise me, they maltreated me, and even given me injuries like last time.”
“Oh!” Cassandra said. “Too bad. Perhaps, I can help you for that.”
“No need.” Albert replied. “You might get shocked on what I am doing. You might end up like them destroying me.”
Cassandra simply laughed and said:
“No…I am not like them, in fact, I am also used to be affected-especially that despite my beauty, some people alienated me much that they even think of me as different; some men who loved me were the same people who separated me, some of my friends became my enemies because they often backstabbed me, all of them I think needs to be punished.”
“I guess, we have the same problem.” Albert said. “And a same solution.”
And Cassandra simply replied:
“Yup.”
And Albert said:
“Perhaps, I am here to be with you, I am not like those people who used to destroy you much. You may come into my place if you want to.”
“Sure! I will.” Cassandra said.
And the two became fast friends after that meeting in the library.

Two weeks after,
Albert, in the library, used to study more books like “The turner diaries”, “Quotations from Chairman Mao Zedong”, Selected works of Mao Zedong”, "Communist Manifesto”, “Anarchists cookbook”, “the Urban Guerrilla”, “The Klansman”, and other books regarding ideologies he used to think. He even joined a radical group after a speech being spoken by a female radical in the quadrangle. A day after, Albert met Cassandra again and asked:
“Cassandra, want to join in the group?”
“What group is that?” Cassandra said.
Then Albert replied:
“One of my classmates, a radical, accepted me. I know you have the interest to join there.”
“Oh! Ok.” Cassandra said. “I will join the group-as long as it is also aligned with our ideas regarding the struggle of the people.”
And thus,
Albert, along with his friend, became members of the group their ideas wanted to. And as a member of the organization, Albert learned the lessons as well as worked hard as the organizers, upon looking at him studying and working, used to provide him with books as well as counseling him; they even amazed on what he organized, especially the ones from the ghettoes and in shantytowns, and Most of the members became acquainted to his ideas since his experiences as a victim of campus and social prejudice made the people agitated and at the same time likely to call for an action, as what he had said to them:
“They gave me blood, they gave me pain, and they gave me whatever bad things I simply endure. Outside, I am a silent cowardly being that these people thinks me of; but inside, a being that may likely to end up be destroyed by the vestiges of hate given to me. Today they may consider happy for they thought that I am nothing, but tomorrow? Perhaps they’ll end up as corpses, offerings to the martyrs of this earth.”
Then one of the members, a riot grrl named Elsa replied:
“In fact, your words are coinciding with the struggles of man. A man being oppressed by nature may endure it, however inside there is a possibility of changing the phase, simply by destroying its vestiges around it.”
“Yes.” Albert said. “Like you, you used to resist the flow despite the pain given to you. The music you played at least carries a meaning unto it, Oi! Isn’t it? That music is better than the music from the flow hehehe.”
“Ya! I prefer Oi than pop.” Elsa said. “How about you?”
“Me? I listen to Goth and Punk.” Albert said. “And even Oi!”
“Really?” Elsa said.
“Yup!” Albert replied.

In response,
The organizers appointed him as a member of the propaganda committee, making various statements, writeups, and even posters since he also used to draw. Cassandra, upon looking at him working, also helped in doing his work in the field of struggle.

These acts made by Albert Harris also fuels the idea of what he wanted, for his anger towards the people who oppressed him likely to suffer “silently”, as what he had said during a “sermon.”

II

In the classroom, Albert, sitting in his desk, was reading a book. There was no professor arriving at that time, and the people on his back, who used to bully, tried to disturb him, however, Harris, playing deaf, focused on reading his book until one of the men from the back went to his desk and spoke:
“Hey you fucking geek! You don’t listen to us huh!?
In response, Harris closed his book, stood up, looking at him and said:
“Why I should listen to you?”
Then the man, whose name is bob, replied:
“Oh! You changed up from last time!”
“Do whatever you can do to me.” Albert said. “I am ready.”
Then Bob, being onion skinned, respond by trying to knock him on the stomach. Many students around watched him doing so, however, Albert simply kicked him aggressively in the crotch before Bob do so, there the bully, in a pumping manner and his hands on the affected part, experienced pain in the crotch made by him, and thus the once weak Albert Harris, walking around him, said:
“So do you experience being kicked in the testicles inside your pants?”
“No…no.” Bob said.
Then he said:
“How about this?”
And he kicked. This time on the back, and said:
“Is it painful?”
Again, Bob said:
“No…no.”
Many students in the room were shocked upon looking at Bob lying while Albert stood up and looking at him; they used to look at Albert lying and Bob doing against him, however, they witnessed a different scene as they look at the two.
Albert, squatting, looked at him and said:
“Here, at least you got the pain from me.”
And he knocked on the face and an elbow stab on the suffering bully’s right chest near the shoulder. There Bob experienced having a black eye on the left corner with a swelling part on his face as well as pain from his back and his crotch; his friends, in response, went through to retaliate, but Bob stopped them and instead he called to help him return to his seat, while Harris simply went to his chair and continue reading his book. Jack, Bob’s friend noticing Albert’s acts, spoke to his friend:
“That geek? He’s like a hooligan.”
“Ya.” Bob said. “And next time, this would be his last.”
And the bell rung,
Many students left the room and so were Harris, carrying his canvas bag. Leaving the suffering Bob and his two men in the room. There he simply went to library where he read Mao Zedong’s selected works in the reference section, as well as studying his works in the movement.

Albert, while studying, was called by Elsa outside the library. He simply went out and said:
“Is there anything?”
“Um…Ja.” Elsa said. “There will be a concert tonight.”
“Oh! Will I join there?” Harris said.
And Elsa replied:
“Ja! I like you to be there!”
“Ok.” Harris said. “But I need to study first.”
And Elsa said:
“Ok.”
Then Elsa left away while Harris returned to the library where his works were lying in the desk. The librarian, upon noticing him, thinks of him as weird since he read a lot of books in that place.

During the concert Elsa requested him to attend, Albert, wearing black, came forth and sought Elsa and Cassandra also attending, there he simply joined along with them as he said to Elsa:
“So here am I, joining the event. Cassandra, so you also join here?”
Then Cassandra replied:
“Yup, Elsa wanted me to attend here.”
And Elsa finally said to the two:
“Well…our comrades are also here, let’s go!”
And the three went to the event.
Many people, mostly Punks and Skinheads, joined in playing noisy tunes. Elsa, sporting a Chelsea hairstyle, looked at Harris with Cassandra holding hands watching the band singing. But after the band finished their song, Elsa then went to the stage pointing at Albert and spoke:
“Well…
There is a man wearing black ready to sing a song!!!”
Many people looked at Harris, and Harris, in response to what Elsa said, replied:
“Uh...perhaps, I will try.”
Then all of them clapped and shouted as he, despite being nervous, went directly through the stage, and there Elsa gave over the microphone to him, and said:
“Sorry Harris, better to show your talent at them.”
And Harris replied:
“Well…Ok.”
Albert then faced at the people watching him, and said:
“All of you didn’t know about me. Well then, I am Albert Harris of the Popular Liberation Movement Westmoreland University chapter. Elsa, that girl who pointed me, wanted to sing a song. Well… I accept it despite being nervous.”
In response,
Many people clapped. Albert then looked at the back and spoke to the band:
“Play ‘Rote Wedding’ and ‘Solidaritatslied’.”
And he looked back at the people watching, the drummer then beat his sticks three times and the band played the song. Albert then sung:

“Left! Left! Left! Left!
The drums are continuously beating
Left! Left! Left! Left!
The working class is marching
We’re not concerned with your party allegiance
Only that you’re honestly in the fight
Against injustice and reaction
We are united by poorness and hunger
By our fallen in the fight against the enemy
And by our songs of revolution

Roter Wedding greets upon you comrades
Be ready with your fists!
Keep the red ranks close together
Our day will come soon
Fighting as socialists
United to the end
Brothers of labour, Communists
Red Front, RED FRONT!”

Many people joined in singing ‘Die rote wedding’ in the concert, Harris then raised the left fist upon singing it, and so were the people watching and singing the song Some jumped and head banged in the sound of the melody given by the band in the concert.

After singing the joyful marching song, another song Albert requested was played. The song seemed different since it was more serious and totally agitating. There, with the sound of guitars, trumpet, pipe and drums, Albert sung in an agitating and encouraging manner, and so were the people in joining with him:

“Forward, without forgetting
Where our strength can be seen now to be!
When starving or when eating
Forward, not forgetting
Our solidarity!

Peoples of the world, together
Join to serve the common cause!
So it feeds us all for ever
See to it that it's now yours.

Forward, without forgetting
Where our strength can be seen now to be!
When starving or when eating
Forward, not forgetting
Our solidarity!

Black or white or brown or yellow
Leave your old disputes behind.
Once start talking with your fellow
Men, you'll soon be of one mind.

Forward, without forgetting
Where our strength can be seen now to be!
When starving or when eating
Forward, not forgetting
Our solidarity!

If we want to make this certain
We'll need you and your support.
It's yourselves you'll be deserting
if you rat your own sort.

Forward, without forgetting
Where our strength can be seen now to be!
When starving or when eating
Forward, not forgetting
Our solidarity!

All the gang of those who rule us
Hope our quarrels never stop
Helping them to split and fool us
So they can remain on top.

Forward, without forgetting
Where our strength can be seen now to be!
When starving or when eating
Forward, not forgetting
Our solidarity!

Workers of the world, unite!
That’s the way to lose your chains.
Mighty regiments now are fighting
That no tyranny remains!

Forward, without forgetting
Till the concrete question is hurled
When starving or when eating:
Whose tomorrow is tomorrow?
And whose world is the world?”

One of people singing the song cried and others end up shouting “Forward!” on the chorus as Harris, with his good tone of voice likely to encourage people to sing, or rather to encourage others to join into the ranks of the revolt! Same as the band whose instruments are continuously playing in the stage; Elsa, upon hearing Albert’s voice, then spoke to Cassandra:
“How handsome is he right?”
And Cassandra replied:
“Especially when he is singing in the stage.”

III

A week after,
Albert, upon entering the classroom, was blocked by Bob and his men in the corridor. There Bob simply said to him:
“This time, it is your last!”
Then he jabs on the abdomen. Albert, upon experiencing pain given to him, fell down along with his bag he carried, and Bob, looking at him lying, said:
“Stand up you asshole!”
Harris was still lying and trying to stand up. Bob then kicked him at the thigh and so were his boys against the lying man. Elsa, as she went to her room, sought Bob and his boys kicking Albert, and thus, she called her hooligan friends and went towards the scene.
As Bob and his jock friends continue beating and kicking Albert, the skinheads cornered the boys and beat them. There Elsa and another skinhead friend helped Harris in standing up and left the fighting scene, they simply went to the bench where they sat. Albert, upon looking at Elsa, said:
“Thanks for helping me, but…”
“No need for that.” Elsa said.
And Harris replied:
“I have class this time!”
And he tried to stand up, but a pain from his thigh and his shoulder compelled him to sit back in the bench. Elsa, as he looked at him, said:
“I’ll bring you to the clinic for now.”
“No need.” Albert said. “Bring me instead to my place, in my boarding house.”
And Elsa replied:
“Ok.”
And she assisted him in going to the boarding house near the university. There Albert simply lies on the sofa and said:
“These boys, like the rest of the class or even the entire institution are trying to destroy me much, lucky that there are some like you who helped me.”
“No need to say about.” Elsa said. “For we have the same idea, expression, and even struggle to fight.”

The fight inside the corridor end up Bob and his boys lying and with bruises as the skinheads, Elsa’s friends, left away and returned to their place. Albert, still lying in the sofa of his room, looks at Elsa sitting beside and tending his wounds. There he said:
“I remember my high school days Elsa; the administrators, schoolmates are envious and trying to destroy me much as they can. I tried to resist simply through the grades I attained, however, some resorted to inflicting verbal and physical pain towards me. I don’t know why are these people trying to do so? I even don’t care about them as long as they don’t disturb my business.”
And Elsa replied:
“Ya, some people tend to destroy just to keep their status. Like what we learned for in the realms of struggle, the world is divided into two warring factions competing for power; and thus, we belong to the ones who are being oppressed and still trying to resist their oppression by defying them.”
Albert then nod as what Elsa spoke to him, and said:
“As what you have said, once I wanted to blow this school as a last resort. As I watch the television about the suicide bombers in the Middle East, these people are performing their deed of being a martyr against the ones who oppressed them and deprived of their rights, especially to live with dignity. If they continue oppressing me and other people in that institution, perhaps, I will or we will perform the deed the same deed what those in the Middle East had done.”
Elsa, upon hearing it, replied:
“In fact, we also wanted the same idea of giving them punishment of bombing them; these people, especially the ones who trying to instate the status quo of oppression and humiliation may likely to face the consequence of being bombed by those who are being oppressed by theirs. Tuition fees increased drastically, unequal treatment of students, even class oppression within the campus! It makes me feel trying to destroy them hard!”
And they both laughed; laughing until their eyes are pointed to each other, likely to get close with.

Night-time,
Albert, along with Elsa, met their comrades in the boarding house. There they simply conducted their plans concerning the struggle they’ve set through; while having their meeting, Albert asked Bonifas, one of their comrades:
“So how is our situation in the university? Are there any incidents involving us? Is there any brawls being created? Attempts to set through against the reaction?”
“As of now, aside from the incident earlier, which is against you, there are minor brawls being set against us by those jocks and guards in the campus.” Bonifas said. “Most of our comrades resist well despite the injuries being set, while they’ve got the worst injuries we’ve given to them.”
And Albert replied:
“Good. But then, these incidents are and were minor for us, for we have major plans to be set against them. If they have countless oppression, humiliating blackmails, increase of fees and curtailing of rights, we have also replies against them.”
“How?” Elsa said.
“Remember the bomb I wanted against them? These people are too much humiliating people, especially those who carried with a cause.” Albert said. “And if these actions being made against us persist, we need to destroy them-all in the name of those who end up disenfranchised, maltreated, or even died out of their senseless minds and hands.”

Most of the comrades were agitated on what Albert hath said to-Especially those who used to feel the humiliation given to them around the campus, as well as their anger towards them. As one of the comrades quickly spoke in an agitating manner:
“If they gave us blood? We will give them; if they gave us fists? We will also give them; and if they give us death? We will absolutely offer them their deaths!”
And the people clapped on what he had spoken to, and shouted in an agitating manner against the oppressor:
“Death for death! Blood for blood!”
Followed by singing The Internationale and other marches on that place.

IV

Three months later,
The tide of oppression became continuous as campus and street brawls increased. At that time, Albert, while studying his lessons as well as making reports in class faced anger by the reaction minded individuals, especially the professors hostile to him and his enemies around the campus, and most of them wanted to expel him out of their blackmails and of their jealousy towards him.
However,
There are also some students as well as professors who understand him and his ideas, as one of his professors, whose name is Ricky, liked his ideas and his defence being made in his subject. Once he even visited him in the boarding house and said:
“Albert, be aware of the people around you. Most of them are jealous of what you have, and they underestimate your potential as a student. I am deeply concerned about your plight as I looked at your grades which are contrast to your acts.”
“Thanks for your concern my friend.” Albert said. “For they used to deal with me in a negative manner; my classmates teased me and even disenfranchised me many times and so are the schoolmasters. Well… only fate can decide who will end up, it is me or them.”
“But then,” Ricky said. “Just be aware of these people and their messages against you. Most of them are trying to conspire with the administrators just to expel you!”
“Let them do whatever they want.” Albert said. “For they are digging their own grave.”
Ricky simply laughed and said:
“Well… you have the point. For they don’t know what they are doing.”

Meanwhile,
Bob, along with his friends, conspired with the professors and Albert’s rivals and enemies in pursuit of blackmailing and expelling Albert. While making their proposals, Bob said to the conspirators:
“Albert is nothing but a piece of trash. Aside from his weird clothing and geekish idea, that bastard is trying to deceive people out of what we have wanted. Who is he by the way? He is not applicable here in this school, he is just nothing, nothing but a subhuman posing as an intelligent student of this institution-and we wanted him to be expelled-or kill if possible.”
Then one of the conspirators replied:
“I even heard that he is aligned with the left, especially with the red skinhead groups as well as student movements aligned with it. What do you think?”
Bob replied:
“Last time I and my friends got seriously injured out of that bastard’s men. These people, like their bastard friend, are nothing but stone minded individuals. They can be strong, but we can beat them; who am I anyway? I belong to the ones who do bodybuilding and in the varsity team!”
And they laughed.
Butch, one of Bob’s friend and a conspirator then asked:
“So what shall we do for him?”
“What we will do is very tragic for that bastard.” Bob said. “We will blame him for something he may not do-but possible for him to be expelled in the school!”
“How?” Butch said.
“We will set the school on fire and we will blame Albert and his friends for that cause.” Bob said. “He is a scapegoat anyway.”
Then Butch replied:
“How about being blamed for something he can’t explain? Perhaps that crime can’t escape him!”
“It can be,” Bob said. “So I will blame him for burning the school on fire right? He can’t explain it totally and even probable for expelling him!”
And again, they laughed. The professors who joined with him then agreed in his idea, since they used to see Albert looking at the fireplace in the student’s lounge back then.

At that same time,
Albert, along with his close friends, at the request from another University went to have a lecture about cultural imperialism. Albert simply accepted the request as they entered the premises for the lecture the school hath conducted and he as the lecturer, there many students understood his plight as a student as well as his ideas towards the society being end up destroyed by the flow set forth by man, as he said:
“Cultural imperialism, being a main contributor of mainstream culture, destroys the authenticity of man as an individual and its unique idea destined to be made. All of us are victims of this situation since we are heavily dosed by the vices and movements prevailing in our society. We may accept it, but we need to resist it.”

And thus,
Many students and professors clapped as he spoke the message he had made for them. The administrator, upon hearing his message, congratulated him and he even wanted to transfer him to his school, but Albert said:
“Thanks for your kind request, but then my school may not accept it and they even threatened me for expulsion. But then, I will try it.”
Then the administrator said:
“It’s ok Albert; the school is open to you and to your friends, for I and this institution know that despite that all of you had problems encountered in the school you belong, you have concrete, good principles and ideas to defend for the people you destined to serve.”
And the two shook their hands as a gesture of amity and respect.

Upon returning to school, they sought fire around the entire place, except for the dormitories, boarding houses and other buildings surrounding the campus. The fire was made by Bob and his men, as they splash gasoline in some of the rooms and lit with burning wood from their hands. All in pursuit of blaming Albert and his friends for the cause of the incident they have made. And that same day was the time Cassandra was disappeared, and some sources stated that she was been abducted. Albert, as he heard the information being said to him by an informant, also think that she end up being killed by the enemy, especially those who underestimated him, the struggle and even her’s; but then he could not explain further to the informant as he simply end up quiet, thinking of her.

V

Morning,
News about the fire incident became an instant headline in the newspapers. Many people at that time heard rumours that Albert Harris, Elsa Mortensen and the members of the Revolutionary Student Democratic Socialist Movement were accused of arson in the campus. Albert, upon hearing it, became angry and responds through a rival newspaper:
“I used to look at the fireplace and it burning fire, but not burning the campus. So please, don’t blame us for this crime, for the ones who disenfranchise us, who are envious of our ideas and practices, and their attitudes regarding us are the ones who made this. Anyway, if they still want to blame us, then so may it be-for they are digging their own grave!”
This response made by Albert regained some supporters as well as enemies in the incident. His rivals continued to accuse him for that crime while Bob continued to harass the studentry, the faculty and the staff regarding the situation. The administrators, being against the ones being blamed, suspend them indefinitely despite their defences about it; but still…
Their voices regarding their innocence about the incident fell into the deaf ears of the administrators and of the people who were against them. They even expelled them totally due to the requests being said by the professors against him and the group, accusing them of fabricated cases and blackmails; but still, Albert and his comrades remained defiant despite of the words given against them.

After the expulsion being made by the administrators towards Albert and the group, Albert simply tore the papers regarding the expulsion in front of them and raised his fist, shouting:
“This institution is nothing but a den of cannibals! Why should I support you when you support these lies? I and my group may have opposed you, but I never made this action that leads to my expulsion; what all of you had done is simple-digging your own grave out of this institution you belong! LONG LIVE THE LIBERATION STRUGGLE! DEATH TO THE OPPRESSORS OF THIS UNIVERSITY!”
Then he went out without any guard or even student to grab him and sent away out. The administrator, upon hearing it, simply said to the professor:
“Lucky that he expelled, but if this case worsen, we will call the police to arrest him-he even confessed that he is a rebel; so we can prove that he is a subversive, liable to be arrested and executed.”
“Well…” the professor said, “Why not arrest him now?”
Then the administrator simply nods on what the professor said to him.

Albert, upon going out, was met by Elsa and the entire group waiting at the hallway; some students and professors sympathized with him also joined marching outside. There he felt being supported, especially as they reached the door of the campus and stopped. Albert then looked at them and said:
“This event is the time that I am not belonging in this institution, being expelled because of a crime that I didn’t commit nor I didn’t attempt to. This idea that led me to expulsion is simply made by those who wanted to destroy me and the group where I belong; in which famous for criticizing the institution and of the people behind it, what goes wrong is that these people are ignorant of the realities happened every year. Continuous Disenfranchisement of students, especially those who are poor, destroying their capacities and dignity, paying expensive fees, having low salaries and sometimes no benefits, these problems we encounter tried to enslave us since most of the people behind made us blind with promises that was and is not fulfilled.
And thus,
This calls for our eyes and our minds to wake up! I know all of you are suffered and yet still content in this before! all of you are threatened with the same result as we had. If this is the punishment given to us, and so this is the time to wake and fight!”

Many of them clapped and chanted slogans after Albert spoke the message given to them outside the hall. Many of them shouted “Boycott” and “Bomb” with raising their fists for him. Albert and the entire group, despite their expulsion, felt the cheers given to them by the people.

And as they went down from the steps, groups of policemen came, and thus, despite being blocked by the students, the policemen immediately arrested Albert and the entire group away-out of what the professor’s request to the administrator about them.


VIJustify Full
Many people in the campus were shocked by the arrest of Albert and the group he belonged. However, while in the vehicle leading to prison, Elsa and two of her comrades resisted the policemen, capturing their guns and uncuffed their hands away while Albert and three of his comrades had done the same thing. At that time, the Red Spear group, also an ally awaited them in the road as a support for their escape in response to the rumours regarding it.

Upon break from the police vehicles, Albert and Luisa then reunited and set the vehicles away on fire by throwing grenades in the windows and ran away; upon running, the red spear group came forth to fetch them, and one of their leaders, Cassius, greeted them:
“Good day comrades, welcome to the struggle.”
“Thanks for welcoming us.” Albert said. “But I entered the struggle.”
“Why?” Cassius said.
“For I used to enter back then; when I used in parliamentary struggle.”
“But now,” Cassius said. “You entered a new phase, welcome to the armed struggle.”
Along with a handshake; Elsa, as she looked at the two, said:
“All of us are eager to fight against the oppressor, at first it is difficult, but for now thanks to their burning-for we will respond with our reprisal!”
Then they laughed as the vehicle started to run and left with the police vehicles burning in the roadside.

After a long journey of escape, the vehicle stopped to a place where the Red Spear Group became its hideout. Upon entering the entire place, Albert and the group sought firearms, bombs, and even the red flag with a hammer and sickle in it, there Albert simply went through and touched the banner, and said:
“This is what I am waiting for; despite the oppression being laid to me, from this day forward, I will fulfil my deed being the member of this liberation movement-even life as its price.”

Cassius, as he looked at Albert, then said:
“That is what we are doing for, if you are oppressed, then why you should not be agitated and fight? Even the bible said that ‘I did not come to bring peace but a sword’ and therefore we wanted liberation, and we take weapons to show that we are fighting against the oppressor; here, take the M-16, and fight.”
Then Albert acquired the rifle from him and replied:
“Thanks; at least we understand the protracted struggle between man and this garbaged society we wanted to cleanse.”

And thus,
Albert Harris, and the rest of his group became fugitives from reactionary justice. Newspapers hath put him and others on the headlines about his escape, and so the posters being posted in major parts of the country. At the same time, these members of the now defunct Revolutionary Student Democratic Socialist Movement became members of the underground movement known as the Red Spear Group, also the one of the members of the Marxist-Leninist Peoples Liberation Party. There he and the entire group set forth plans in the coming deed he wanted against the institution, as well as making propaganda leaflets in encouraging people to join in the upcoming people’s liberation war against the oppressor.

While making propaganda, Albert recalled one of his writeups he made since last semester, there he wrote it again and made an appropriate title for it:

“EVERY FEE EARNING UNIVERSITY NEEDS A BOMB”

Today is the last month of the school year, and this month is also a failed attempt of the studentry on reducing this fee against the increase on tuition and other fees.

These events every year makes every student had the possibility to stop or rage against the rising of tuition and other fee increases especially in the city, some ought to resist actively by joining in a progressive organizations and calling for a refund, others simply criticize but continue studying as part of their plans to finish schooling. I, in spite of paying these expensive fees continue to sympathize the ones whom trying to battle against the rising of these illegal fees-and I often actively used to be against it since in spite of our status, these problems involving financial matters may likely to make lives of every student difficult to reach-likely to think whether they'll stop schooling or to shout, likely to have a call for a voice of dissent.

In fact, as I used to have full payments and earning good grades, I pity at those whom used to have lack of requirement or even the infrastructure in the institution, from old classrooms to slow internet connections in school sponsored internet rooms. Most of the students using there end up criticizing these since they used to pay high whilst the connection remained slow. Or in case of classrooms, remained unimproved except painted walls and chairs.

In this writeup, the students, especially from the lower middle class, whom used to oppose these kinds of perennial problems, are the majority of the school population. They used to study hard and trying to remain studying but still, the increase of tuition fees, accompanied by other fees, likely for them to stop, or as they remain, likely to endure suffering-forcing themselves to rise up and shout a voice of total dissent against the authorities.

These voices of dissent are equivalent to a blasting ingredient found in a bomb, gunpowder, TNT or Ammonium Nitrate perhaps, this bomb may likely to shatter ever corner of the institution with the criticisms, anger made by the students and even the parents of these children whom working hard, giving a decent salary, then paying for many essential things including these expensive tuition and other fee increases made by these fee rising universities whether it is state or private; Just like the 15% increase in a private college or the more expensive 300% increase in a State University. These problems related to financial matters may likely to be perennial, even there are well to do families whom may used to pay for it while criticizing this kind of problem.

In my own perspective, Education must be a right than a privilege. Every educator must consider the status of every people with the aim of educating the people with affordability and of course, with full devotion in enlightening them. They must act as servants to the people since they opted to choose setting up these palaces of knowledge to educate people.

All students must rise up and stop being manipulated. Look at the reality and you will know what's behind their good scene which is rotten and bad. And as you look upon it, you will likely to criticize than to praise-like creating your own bomb against them in the name of justice, since every fee rising university may likely to end up bombarded by the voices of students, faculty members, staff, and even the parents whom paying tuition fees for their children or some progressive minded administrators whom may likely to oppose the idea what their constituents used to agree upon it.

Upon writing, Albert, being agitated in recalling the writeup, continuously wrote the entire piece and with the help of his comrade Bonifas, the writeup had been retyped and mimeographed day and night to be distributed in every school through their comrades. Elsa, as she read his writeup, simply said to him:
“You criticize them totally.”
“Yes.” Albert said. “That is the action of the revolutionary opposition against the enemy; we partisans are eager for the struggle, and thus this action, through this writeup, may likely to gain more people to join with us, crippling the enemy severely.”
“Good.” Elsa said. “Any other plans?”
“Yes,” Albert replied. “For I will make a series of letters to our comrades staying in the campus not to join in the festivities to prevent them in becoming casualties in our battle.”
“It seemed that you are caring towards our allies.” Elsa said.
“For they have purpose in life.” Albert replied. “And that is to teach the way of liberation.”
Then Elsa, as she still looked at him doing something, then asked him:
“How about Cassandra? Still remembering her?”
“Cassandra?” Albert said. “For weeks we didn’t see her, as far as I know that she is been abducted.”
“Why?” Elsa said.
And Albert replied to her:
“I am thinking that she’s been abducted by our enemy.”
“Are these enemies are those from the university? Like Bob?” Elsa said.
“It can be.” Albert said. “Or even the reactionary police and the military also had done the same thing towards her.”

Then Elsa said to him:
“Well…we need to get secured, especially that we are now fugitives from a reactionary state.”
“Yup.” Albert said. “However, despite of that, we need to continue our work, for I am starting to do the deed I am thinking of.”

VII

Few weeks after the escape of Albert and the group, Albert, now one of the notorious personalities in the underground movement, issued propaganda against the reactionaries from the government to education; there he simply stated in his writeup that:
“Society is heaven turned hell, we must aware that all of our minds end up in boxes, and not in its own deed.”
Cassius, upon reading Albert’s verse, made additional statement to him:
“As long as the masses rise up with outmost agitation, the days of boxed up mindsets will be destroyed, thus releasing what man is supposed to be. And so is the society belonged to.”

At that same time, there was a rock concert being made by the student consultative union in the university where he studied. There many students, faculty and other people joined on that same event; and some of the Red Spear Group Albert had sent through issued leaflets and making agitating discussions to them, where students who knew Albert and his group positively quickly joined on their fray and shouted:
“Albert! Albert!”
And raising their left fists in honour of him.

During the concert, these sympathizers, raising fists and shouting “Albert” and “Exterminate the Reactionaries” made rage whilst the bands played their loud music continuously to them. After the first session, a band connected to the Red Spear Group came to the stage, and its vocalist first spoke:
“Remember the past?”
Some said no, but most shouted yes. Then the vocalist asked another question to them:
“Do you remember the days the school marred by noises, protests and anger?”
Some said yes, but others said no. and the vocalist then said:
“Well…if that is your answer, then fine.”
And he shouted:
“For the revolution!!!”
And the band played the melodies of the music; many people, especially Albert’s sympathizers, rejoiced upon hearing its tune, and the vocalist sung:

“Their whisper echoes around
Workers can you hear it
They are the voices of war ministers
Steel and coal producers whisper
They whisper about chemical weapons production
On each country they whisper:
War against the Soviet Union!”

And the people, as they rejoiced with singing and listening the melody, then joined with the vocalist in singing the militant chorus:

“Farmer, Worker, take your weapon,
Take your weapon you have
Let's beat these fascist clowns
And collaborators
With hearts going wild
Set up your red banners of the working class
In each hill, camp in each factory
The old world we'll be left behind and
We will approach the world socialist republic!”

Then the vocalist again sung alone with the sound of the band:

“Workers!
They’re already planning to attack
They're boiling in racism and hatred
It is a war against the working class
It is not just about the Soviet Union
It is an aggression against the revolution
And the war that's going on in several countries
Is a war against you worker!”

And the people again respond by singing the chorus:

“Farmer, Worker, take your weapon,
Take your weapon you have
Let's beat these fascist clowns
And collaborators
With our hearts going wild
Set up your red banners of workers
In each hill, camp in each factory
The old world we'll be left behind and
We will approach the world socialist republic!”

More and more people, upon hearing the militant melodies of the band, joined in the sound of defiance as the band continue playing their agitating music. Left fists, dirty fingers were raised, red flags being waved; anything around the concert became a stage for a riot, as Bob, upon noticing the event, wanted it to stop. But…

As he and his men, along with volunteers tried to stop the agitating message given to them by the band, the people, especially Albert’s followers defied them, there they simply chanted their anger against them, and some wanted to incite violence into it. Bob, being the leader of the group and also a staff member, tried to maintain order as he and his men could. But still, anger continues to vent until one of Bob’s men beat one of the audience, and many people retaliated by beating him also.
And thus,
That concert became a riot, furious and agitating; especially as one of Albert’s sympathizers sought Butch, one of Bob’s men and threw rocks towards him; in response, Bob and his men, along with his allies fought back by beating one of the students in the event. That minor attack became a major brawl as the Albert’s sympathizers, known by themselves as the “Left Faction” made revenge against Bob’s men by beating with sticks and throwing stones and empty bottles into it; and despite the riots, the band continue playing, and as their music plays, and so were the brawl, with countless beatings, and casualties until the guards and the newly arrived police stopped the fight that leads to twenty three casualties, suffered by injuries related to the brawl being set by Bob. Butch was mortally wounded and seriously injured at that time that Bob sent him directly to the hospital for a treatment.

At that time, Albert, along with Elsa, was staying in his desk for a talk. While talking, Albert was stared at Elsa, and the girl said:
“Why are you kept staring at me? Is there anything wrong?”
“Nope,” Albert said. “For in fact that…”
“Tell me.” Elsa said.
And Albert replied:
“For in fact that I am deeply amazed in your beauty.”
“How about Cassandra?” Elsa said.
“Cassandra is my friend, from school as well as in the front.” Albert said. “But as I met you, I felt being charmed by your beauty as well as the kindness you have gave to me. Cassandra is friendly, beautiful, and nice, but only you whom completed me.”
And Elsa replied:
“Just because I am a Riot grrl? Having nice looks?”
“Nope.” Albert said. “For I like you from the first day until this day, and if there is a time, will you accept me?”
“Well…” Elsa said. “Aside from that you are handsome and intelligent, and even kind to me? I will accept you!”
Albert then smiled at Elsa, and replied:
“Thanks for being with me, and from now on, with all my strength, I will do anything for you and for the struggle; even life as its price.”
And he kissed her. Elsa then felt for the first time the kiss given to him by the man whom she amazed, and thus they end up consummated in the bedroom near his desk.

The next day,
Albert, newly awake from sleep, sought Elsa beside him. There he simply kissed her in the cheek and left to prepare coffee. Elsa then felt the kiss in her cheek, but as she woke up, she sought Albert preparing coffee for her.

Meanwhile,
The people, especially Albert’s supporters were found guilty of their charges against them by the University, especially Bob. Without any consideration about them, they end being expelled and others were suspended according to the events given; however, some chose to expel, and the administrators agreed upon to it. Albert, upon hearing the event about the expulsion of his followers, then said to Cassius:
“How defiant these people, for they heard our call. They opposed the oppressive policies, they defy the humiliating messages from the authority, and even the subjective attacks made by Bob and his men, all of these would likely to provide a final point in ending this mess.”
“How?” Cassius said.
“These people sympathized with our cause, and if possible, they would easily join into our ranks in pursuit of the struggle.” Albert said. “And if these oppressors continue to oppress, especially towards the people whom they used to disenfranchise with, and so are the possibility to end up being beaten.”
Then as Albert went to his desk, his messenger came and said:
“Our group has been increased comrade!”
“Why?” Albert said.
And the messenger replied:
“For most of the students who end up being expelled joined with us!”
“Good for them and for the struggle.” Albert said. “But how do they join through?”
“Our informants told me that these students immediately escaped upon hearing about their arrest inside the school premises.” The messenger said. “And their expulsion also forced the administration to call the police for their arrest.”
Albert then replied to him:
“That is what the reactionary minded administrators do to the students, they expel them, and if the students react, they even call the police to arrest them with any proven or fabricated causes.”

And thus,
After a week of assessment, these people who joined with the struggle became members of the group. There they even met Albert personally, and Albert teaches them the way of the struggle. Some professors also joined with them, in which they helped him in his propaganda and education work in pursuit of giving them complete idea regarding the struggle they have joined. Albert, in his lectures, stated that:
“How long are we contented in being oppressed? How long are we contented in being disenfranchised? Our bodies left with physical, mental, social, and spiritual scars that left behind for years, and yet we still remain quiet?
In fact,
The more are we contented in enduring these hardships, the more the possibility of becoming agitated and venting anger against them; this is part of human nature, and we tend to meet changes throughout our lives based on realities and our experiences.
Today, all of you accepted this to gain revenge against those who were against you. And our lives would be its price for what we had made through.”

Then one of the newly recruited members asked him:
“How sure that our struggle is for the oppressed?”
And Albert replied:
“If you had read the Qur’an, it stated in sura 4 verse 75, it says that: And why should ye not fight in the cause of Allah and of those who, being weak, are ill-treated (and oppressed)? - Men, women, and children, whose cry is: "Our Lord! Rescue us from this town, whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from thee one who will protect; and raise for us from thee one who will help!"
And this act of defiance, of sacrifice is our response to the call of the oppressed.”
Then another asked him:
“Are all Marxist-Leninists atheists?”
Then Albert replied to him:
“I am a Christian, but being a Marxist-Leninist does not mean that I gave up my beliefs, but instead I also wanted to free god from the clutches of those who exploited him; well… why there are churches preaching people’s liberation? These clergymen are also those people whom being with us!”
And the people clapped; Elsa, as she looked at him, then said to Cassius:
“He’s quite intelligent. However, despite his intelligence he had, the people around him tried to destroy him, once I remember he got a low grade despite having a good work in one of his subjects.”
And Cassius said:
“Why?”
“For his professor on that subject tried to discredit him.”
“Too bad.” Cassius said. “Even in education, these people wanted to disenfranchise others.”
“Well…” Elsa said. “Despite his problems, I still like him.”
“I know,” Cassius replied. “For I always see both of you working each other; by the way, how about having your relationship with Albert be given recognition?”
And Elsa nod at him; and thus, Albert and Elsa’s relationship were recognized by the group as well as given keepsakes to the two. Cassius greeted them a lasting mutual understanding towards them, as he said:
“I hope your mutual understanding must given support. We are here to guide and help you if there are problems related to it, and there must also a time to assess your relationship, especially in rectifying problems related to it.”
The relationship remained fine until…

VIII

Two months later,
Albert and Elsa, after months of friendship and of having a mutual understanding, became a couple after being recognized by the group; there Cassius, as he sought the two, said to both:
“May all of you two continue your work as a couple; having a relationship while working is difficult for sometimes it carries hindrance to the struggle, however, as I looked both of you working seriously, the possibility of having relationship as a problem may also consider impossible.”
Then Albert replied:
“Yes, for both of us work hard in organizing, and we even assess ourselves in pursuit of having or relationship forged through. Perhaps, relationship must also experience hardships, for it strengthens the knot easily.”
And Elsa added:
“In fact, his words were right, for we experience problems regarding our mutual understanding; there are times that we argue, but still, our relationship remained strong.”
“Well…” Cassius said. “Both of you must continue your obligation as couples, for the struggle you have joined must live-even in love.”
And the two looked at each other, and kissed.

The next day,
Albert, while organizing and same time, making propaganda, heard news regarding the institution. At that time, sporadic riots, boycotts, walkouts, protests appeared forth as tuition and other fees increased, as well as the oppressive measures around it; and the administration responded by a massive suspension and expulsion of students who participated in the situation. Upon hearing it, Albert then spoke to the members, especially the newly recruited ones:
“These kind of oppressive measures given by these reaction minded peoples tend to create havoc, and they even blamed the innocent and those who opposed in creating what they actually had done to; isn’t it right to create anything in which the majority would likely to create anger towards them? If that is their idea, then protests will continue until they end up being crippled to submission, or to their eventual destruction.”

Elsa, at that time, trained members in partisan warfare. There she hath them train using guns, grenades, and even creating bombs for the group. Some members called her as the ‘rose of the revolution’ because of her beauty and charm within the struggle. Elsa, upon hearing it, then replied:
“Thanks for what you have addressed to me.”

After a day of working, Albert and Elsa came forth, there Albert hugged Elsa, and said:
“You look happy today.”
Then Elsa replied:
“Yup! How about you?”
“Me?” Albert said. “Well…I’m fine.”
Then Elsa smiled at him, and so was Albert. Then Albert felt something in Elsa, and he said:
“Is there anything wrong?”
“Um…” Elsa said. “I need to check-up first.”
Then the two went to their comrade, a medical practitioner for a check up. There they found that Elsa became pregnant; and Albert became happy upon hearing it, and he said:
“I am thankful that we will have a child.”
“Me too.” Elsa said. “Especially if that child I am carrying is imbued with love, courage, and hope given to us.”
Cassius, upon hearing it, then approached to the two and said:
“Well… I recommend that both of you, especially Elsa be given adequate rest for too much work may harm the child you’re carrying.”
“How about my work?” Elsa said. “Who will continue?”
“Bonifas will continue your work.” Cassius said. "And later, I will bring you a supply of food and medicine to both of you.”
“Thanks for your concern comrade.” Albert said, along with a handshake.
And Cassius replied:
“Just keep both of you fine.”

But the two, despite given rest, continued working as Albert and Elsa were making propaganda and training the group for the struggle. However, Elsa then temporarily stopped working after what Albert spoke to her:
“Elsa, you need to have a good rest for now; you have a baby to carry.”
There she simply took the words given by her husband, as well as the doctor. At the same time, Albert continued his task but he also set his time for his wife by giving food and medicine. And Elsa, as she sought what Albert given to her became happy.

And after a month and weeks of given care, Elsa, with the help of Albert and some of the group including Cassius, gave birth to a healthy child. The first cries of the infant then heard in the entire room as the midwife, carrying the infant, said to Elsa, now a mother:
“Well done Elsa, for you are now having a newborn health child.”
Elsa then smiled as the midwife passed over the infant to her for breastfeeding, while other rejoiced as a new generation hath risen from them. Albert, as he sought his wife and the child, then said:
“I am happy that we became a family, and thus, I will work hard for it; even life as its price.”

IX

After the birth of their first and only child, Albert and Elsa Harris became a family. There the two tend to have another obligation in creating a family within the struggle. Albert and Elsa, despite having difficulty in doing the practise, were often helped by other comrades in providing advices and services as tasks to be done, from helping the infant to providing them with food. Albert once tried not to be given and instead focus on their work, but Cassius replied:
"No need to worry about, for we are obliged to help each other for the struggle."
Albert, upon hearing what he spoke, simply nod.

At that time, a messenger came to Albert, then said:
"Sir, we have news for the movement."
"Tell me." Albert said.
And the messenger replied:
"We have set two tactical offencives against the enemy in the city."
"How?" Albert said. "Any weapon being confiscated? Casualties in our side?"
"Our men sneakingly attacked an enemy arsenal." The messenger said. "And there they've also resisted police patrols and guards while some carried away guns and ammunition."
Then Albert replied:
"Then how is it?"
"Two of our men fell wounded." The messenger said. "And one of our comrades threw a grenade against them, that leads to thirteen enemy casualties."
"Any vehicles used?" Albert said.
"Yes," The messenger replied. "We have three vans being used for carrying arms and ammunition from the arsenal, as well as for our men."
And Albert replied:
"Good, any other news?"
"Yes." The messenger said. "We have attacked a police station and freed three of our comrades."
"Any casualties?" Albert said.
And the messenger replied:
"none."
"Well..." Albert said. "This calls for a major outbreak in the history of our struggles. We have minor attacks to create, but a major deed will soon be set!"

The words what Albert Harris said led to a series of outbreaks against the system. Explosions, assassinations against 'enemies of the people' who committed serious crimes, skirmishes against the authorities hath created. And in the course of parliamentary struggles, torchlight parades with molotov bomb throwings begun; in which Albert said to the rest of the group:
"The course of events are like termites eating a whole tree; they will continue eating until the last of it will end up nothing but its remnants."
Then Cassius replied:
"But then, there will be more casualties."
"But then," Albert said. "There will be more people to join with our struggle; through the sacrifices of our comrades, and the victories of the oppressed, the people will surely know the meaning of our revolution."
Then again, a messenger came and said:
"Comrades, we have news."
"Ok," Albert said. "Tell it to us."
"Our group increased a number of cells in the city."
"Good." Albert said. "Any estimated number of cells?"
"From ten, it became nineteen." The messenger said. "And each cell has fifty men."
"Good." Cassius said. "But it needs further recruitment."
Then the messenger saluted the two and left away; and Albert, as he stared at Cassius, said:
"After a series of attacks, the day of sacrifice will be set."
"Why?" Cassius said. "We need you!"
"For I always think about a time for these people to pay their debt to the people they've disenfranchised; and through this, I will prepare my own self for the sacrifice."
"How about Elsa? And your loving kid?" Cassius said.
"I know." Albert said. "And Elsa understand this deed I am preforming someday."
"Well..." Cassius said. "If that is what you've been thinking of, we'll respect it; but if I were you, better not to perform it, for we need you in this struggle."
Then Cassius left away, leaving Albert alone.

Albert, now alone, was thinking about the deed he wanted to do. There he remembered the events related during his university days, of being oppressed and of maltreated, of disenfranchised and of injury, in which he wanted to forget; but despite his attempts, he, as he stared at the red flag, then accepted his fate of sacrificing himself in the deed he wanted to perform; and as he went outside, he sought Elsa carrying their infant child, and said:
"Elsa, what would you do if I sacrifice myself in the battlefield? Will you cry?"
Then Elsa said:
"Yes, for I can't live without you, and our child needs a father."
Albert then nod, but he said:
"In fact, I am preparing the plans for my ultimate deed against the university."
"Why?" Elsa said.
"The past compels me to to this." Albert said. "And I can't withstand the anger, the hatred, the fear trying to destroy me."
Elsa, as she heard what Albert spoke to her, then replied:
"Then, I need to join with you!"
"No," Albert said. "Our beloved one needs you."
"Then why you need to do this thing out?" Elsa said.
"I dunno why;" Albert said. "But the past compels me to do this; I'm sorry Elsa, but I need to do this thing."
And Albert left away, leaving Elsa and the child.

Nighttime,
Albert was making his final letter to the group; there he spoke his intention of creating the deed he wanted to do:

"TO MY COMRADES:

TODAY, this will be the last writeup I have written in my entire life, for I am setting forth the plan to destroy one of the institutions that enslaved the minds of the people and of destroying its dignity.

In fact, this deed I wanted to perform may consider the first major attack against the system. That institution was and is the partner of the system, and the people behind these scenes are the ones who were continually trying to corrupt every peoples minds to be suitable for the system and its actions laid; I as well as most of our comrades studying in that institution are victims of their oppression, they gave us disenfranchisement, maltreatment, and even dehumanizing actions that despite our works, our good study habits, these perennial problems and actions laid against us both by this institution and the system hath led to be driven to the realms of the struggle.

In fact,
Based on the realities happened during my entire life, this action I myself being laid is the result of these actions laid against me. Remember Light A Fire Movement? Mujahidin? Inifadeh? The Black Hand? The Columbine Massacre? These events, whether political or non political is out of a sentiment that is hidden only to have a respective time to take revenge against the injustices laid upon the people. If they want to knuckle us? Then we will knuckle them; If they want to kill us? Then we will kill them; or as what the Oath given to us our revolutionary forefathers stated to us:
'I swear to avenge without mercy the burning and ravaging of our towns and villages, the shedding of the blood of our people, the martyr of 30 our heroes martyred in the mines. And should my life be needed for this vengeance, I shall lay down my life without a moment's hesitation....'DEATH FOR DEATH, BLOOD FOR BLOOD!"

X

The next day,

After three months of studying and training, as well as acceptance by the group, Albert, along with ten chosen men, hath formally declared the intention for the deed he wanted to create against the enemy; there they've worn their bodies with bomb vests within their clothing, readied their guns and grenades, as well as the cars they will use.

Albert, while preparing, sought Elsa and said:
"Elsa, come here."
Then Elsa approached him and said:
"Is there any problem before you die?"
"Nope." Albert said. "But instead, I want to give you a kiss."
And Albert kissed Elsa in the cheek, Elsa, as she felt the kiss given to her, said:
"Why a kiss?"
"For this will be the last day to be with you." Albert said. "By the way, how about our little one?"
"Our little one is still sleeping." Elsa said.
Then Albert replied:
"Well... Just take care of you two, and even I die, I will always love you deep inside my heart."
And Albert left away along with his men.

As they prepared for leaving, Albert and his men first saluted to the flag as well as to their comrades who were waiting for them before the action. While saluting, some of them wept that they wanted to remember anything before they accept their fate given to them.

And after saluting, Albert and his men went to their comrades for their farewell. Cassius, as he sought Albert, approached him, and said:
"Albert, may the struggle continue its flames."
"Yes," Albert said. "Especially in this deed we're preparing to, may the struggle, even without us, must and still continue its flames."
then they shook their hands as a gesture of amity, after handshaking, Albert then sought and approached Elsa, and he said:
"Elsa, keep safe as well as our child. This action I have taken will cost lives including me, but this sacrifice we will take will sprung another chapter in the history of our struggle. This action I have made is a response from their actions given to us, as well as in memory of our fallen ones, especially our comrade Cassandra whose corpse found; I hope you will remember me Elsa, for I always love you with all my heart."
Then Elsa replied:
"Albert, I am sorry for the days that I have made something wrong, but then, I will respect your decision regarding your action you have taken."
Then they hugged each other and Albert, along with his chosen comrades, went to their cars and left away, leaving Elsa, Cassius, and the rest of the group.

And thus,
The journey to their deed hath been set, as Albert Harris and the rest of the chosen comrades from the Red Spear Group rode away into their cars for the destination they have planned to set. There they elude the police checkpoints in the road, trying to escape the hands of those who were trying to capture them back.

And after hours of evading checkpoints set forth the long arm of law, and of shortcut routes, Albert, along with nine chosen members of the Red Spear Group arrived in the university in separate cars. There he and four of his men parked in the lot near the main hall while the remaining others were in the annex of the building.

From these spots landed, Albert's men and the others joined together in the cafeteria's side entrance and went inside; there Albert sought one of Bob's men, and fired with his revolver through the head, nothing, except Albert's men sought the scene as the cafeteria was closed at that time for major cleaning, and they immediately left away to prevent being encountered by other people.

At the same time,
The students, newly dismissed from their classes, went out from their classrooms while others were waiting at the corridors. Albert, as he sought one of his rivals and enemies in a certain classroom in the window immediately threw three newly lit oil bombs mixed with sulphuric acid and potassium chlorate from that same window, creating havoc out of thirteen casualties inside. And after the throwing of oil bombs, Albert and two of his men immediately went inside and shouted:
“TIS’ DEATH TO ENEMIES!”

That ‘battle cry’ created rage against the institution; there many students immediately ran in fear out of the havoc happened inside as well as the explosion happened in one of the rooms; security guards, unaware about the incident, immediately went into the scene, trying to pursue Albert and the Red Spear Group, while some immediately called the police also to pursue them.

Albert and his men, as he sought the guards, immediately fired their guns against them. One of his comrades end up wounded, that he immediately threw an oil bomb against the group of guards who were trying to pursue the group.

Fighting continued as the guards and others, like Bob tried to resist Albert and the Red Spear Group. Oil Bombs, guns, fistfights prevail until policemen immediately came forth, helping the guards to destroy the group. Albert, as he sought policemen helping the guards, fired his gun against them one by one, as well as he thrown an oil bomb against them; some of his men also had done the same thing while others went outside, setting fire at the vehicles.

However,
Albert, as he sought some of his men wounded from the battle, threw his last oil bomb in a pile of papers, giving a smokescreen for their withdraw towards the main hall, and as he and his men reached the place, they were cornered by the police, security guards, as well as people who witnessed the event, especially his enemies who destroyed him.

Inside, these people, staying in the tables acting as barricades, sought policemen, guards, and students whom despised and against him; there Albert spoke with anger towards them:
As he looked at them, he said:
“Are you happy to see us wounded? Are you happy to see us killed? Are you happy to have us arrested again? Are you happy to have us executed? All of these expressions I think is what you have wanted to me, however, the fact is that all of you are blind, deaf, and mute in our words, in our ideas and aspirations that all of you expelled and even arrested instead!
As I have told all of you, my expulsion and my arrest made all of you to dig your own grave, for me, a member of the Red Spear Group will declare a death sentence to those who destroy the aspirations, the ideas of the people whom trying to support those who wanted change, and instead, disenfranchising, destroying, expelling to the point of arresting and executing them.”
Then Bob shouted:
“Oh…Shut up you fucking terrorist! You are simply making noise in our neighborhood!”
“Really?” Albert said. “I am making noise-but with reason; and later, you will join with me in the afterlife!”
Bob tried to attack him, but Albert pointed his gun and Bob immediately withdraw from the scene and instead stayed with the guards. Albert simply lowered his gun and spoke to the people around him:

"I went back to regain my innocence as a student; and at the same time, to make justice out of what you have done against me and my friends here in this institution. All of you are the ones who made this right? All for the sake of destroying us and stepping our dignity."
Then Bob, as he looked at him, replied:
"Oh...Oh...oh...Look who's talking to!? Are you supposed to be in the prison right? Why have you returned back? Are you trying to destroy this school again?"
And Albert laughed, and said:
"Bob, being a jock made you ignorant; and being a bully made you an ogre. Aren't you supposed to occupy mine? For it is you, your men and your puppets conspired to destroy me and my friends by burning this school?"
Many people then looked at Bob, but the latter denied it. And Albert said:
"Oh...Are you denying the facts? The truth? Come on Bob; show us what you have got!"
Bob, irritated on what Albert said to him, wanted to grab one of the guard's guns, but his friends blocked him to do so. Albert, as he looked at Bob being blocked and restrained by his friends said:
"Let him get the gun boys; and kill me Bob, but before that my body is wrapped with a bomb being prepared, and if you kill me? I will press this button so that all of us will enter hell in no time!"
And he laughed.

XI

Many people, mostly Albert's enemies and rivals witnessed the event as well as the administrators who expelled him; these people, upon looking at him making his deed, scared away and trying to speak their apologies regarding the incident that led to his expulsion. Albert, as he heard their voices, then replied:
“Look at you! The once whom betraying me then apologizing? How stupid!”
Then one of his comrades spoke to him:
"Are we preparing to detonate the bomb comrade?"
"Yes." Albert said. "But before that, we must hear the repenting cries of our enemies, for they are now trying to escape their guilt that led us to do this final action."
The administrator, begging for forgiveness then said to him:
“I apologize for what we have made towards you; just stop doing this thing here.”
But Albert, after hearing his words, replied:
“Why should I stop this thing? Are you scared of you and your friend’s fate? Or rather are you scared of having your university being exploded?”
Then Bob, as he looked at him, said:
“We apologize for doing this Albert, we did this thing for we underestimate your skill, your idea, your character, what else should we say for just to forgive us?”
Then Albert, irritated on what Bob sad, shouted:
“Never! You gave me the chance to do this. Why should I accept your senseless apology if you made me into an agitating kind of person out of you and your friends many times before expelling me out of your crime? You are just a coward Bob, and you cannot escape death!”
More people in the university continue to spoke their apologies towards Albert, but then, he didn’t mind the apologies spoken to him, and he replied with hate:
“I cannot accept any of your apologies, all of you conspired to do this, and thus I am replying for what you have done to me and to my friends who also end up being destroyed by your words and your deeds. The actions you made against us is like digging your own grave, and thus, this school you have stepped is now your furnace, your grave, leading to hell as its fate!”
Then he laughed aloud while some people, out of desperation as well as fear, tried ran away as they could, some escaped through the windows, but the rest were end up met with closed doors. The administrator, as he looked at Albert as well as the people, again tried to appease him, as he said:
"We will give money, or even retract our words regarding the expulsion order given to you, just please surrender now Albert Harris!"

But Albert, as he looked at the people trying to escape and the people around the main hall, then spoke agitating towards them:
“No! I will not succumb to your words sir, and all of you are witnessed on this event, for I the man you have expelled is preparing his rite of martyrdom along with the people whom used to destroy this man’s body and spirit until the last days of this semester. Do you want this kind of idea right? I simply don’t accept your forgiveness, but we will meet together-in hell! LONG LIVE THE PROTRACTED STRUGGLE OF THE OPPRESSED, DEATH TO THE OPPRESSORS!!!”

And as he prepared to push the button, Bob immediately got the revolver away from the guard and fired him in the chest and in the thigh; but still, Albert, despite his fatal injuries, finally pushed the button away from his hand, leading to the highly explosive bomb wrapped in his body and blew away along with his men, the place and the people around him. There the raging fire continuously shook the building and some of its surrounding buildings in the campus after the heavy explosion being set by the man, whom they disenfranchised, maltreated, accused, and finally, expelled along with his comrades.

Many people outside witnessed the event as they heard explosion and sought fire in the campus. Many Fire trucks and police vehicles arrived as fire continuously rage inside the place where the explosion occurred. Many injured students, faculty and staff were immediately sent to hospitals while the dead were sent to morgues-except those people inside whose bodies were totally charred away and instead, end up collected by the police as part of their investigation. However, they found that most of the people involved, were disappeared, and rumours shown that they end up joined the underground as members of a radical national liberation movement.

At the same time,
The Marxist Leninist Peoples Liberation Party and the Red Spear Group increased as many students, professionals and the working masses became discontented about the system in the society. During the memorial for Albert Harris, five men fired their guns on air in honour of their late comrade while Elsa, carrying her child, bowed and closed her eyes in a sign of mourning.

XII

Two years after the incident,

Elsa, now mother of one kid from Albert and an active member of the Underground Marxist-Leninist People’s Liberation Party went to the place where the event her beloved started. There she simply put red roses and white lilies in the room where Albert used to study; while placing the flowers, she sought someone, also the name of Albert standing in the door and asked:
“What are you doing here miss?”
And Elsa said:
“This room is where a special someone used to study, specifically here. Many people underestimated him, but his act he had made is the response of what they had done to him.”
“Why?” Albert said.
And Elsa simply replied:
“For he knows that the flow is sometimes or rather always dangerous, and thus he is trying to resist it; no matter how hard it is.”

(Realismus) The revenge of Manyatsoe

The revenge of Manyatsoe

It was a heavy summer day in a land named Sothostan, there many people were lived in hardship as the entire realm was ruled by an evil landlord-oligarch named Amin Mangope. That landlord was famous at first for improving the lives of the people in that said homeland, but at the same time he curtails people their right to the point of killing them by his own thugs and mercenaries whom he paid with titles and positions. That story also rolls upon a life of a simple man, and that man is Lucas Manyatsoe.

It was all started when Lucas Manyatsoe, working as a worker in a nearby factory, sought in the window people running in the road as the government-led thugs and mercenaries raided some of the estabishments and even captured some alleged "subversives" in every place being raided. And while seeing it through the windown, Lucas seemed to be worried about them, for he may think that the next establishment to be raided will be the factory he's working, and it would cost his work ...or even his life and others.

However,
As he continued working day and night in the factory, the owner of the establishment was quite amused as he sought him working hard and trying to complete his tasks around the factory. There he approached him and even gave thanks for working and even giving some additional payment to him, there Lucas simply accepted it and said:
"Thanks for the bonus sir, I will continue working day and night as possible."
Then the owner replied:
"Good, at least you are creating fine quality outputs."
And he left away, leaving his worker doing his job.

After working, Lucas simply walked straight home, walking brisky until...
He sought thugs harassing a girl, and at the same time killing her companion. There he immediately hid himself in the corner so that he may never be seen by those thugs around for the sake of protecting his own life and anything he's carrying, hidding carefully until he saw them left away leaving the two in the road. Lucas then rose and sought the two lying in the road and even shocked as he sought the dead person. He was quite worried about the girl, and thus he gave some money he earned and even helped to call someone around for help.

The next day,
In the landlord's palace, Amin Mangope was shocked as news against him were spreading throughout Sothostan like wildfire, worst was that about yesterday when thugs killed a man and gang-raped his girlfriend on the road that night. There he immediately called the thug leader Nicolaas Uys regarding this situation:
"Was this true Nicolaas?"
"No." Nicolaas said. "I don't believe this kind of rumor spreading around Sothostan. Why?"
"How come this news spread totally?" Mangope said. "They said some of your men killed a man and gang raped a girl in the road that night, was this true?"
Nicolaas still denied it, then he said:
"It's just a propaganda coming from Obote and his cohorts, they are just spreading lies."
Mangope simply nod as what Uys said to him then said:
"Order your men to prevent this kind of lie from growing!"
And the thug leader immediately went away to do another terrible job what Mangope said to him.

Meanwhile,
Lucas felt something different upon seeing the tragedy yesterday, thinking of revenge as well as of helping the people victimised under Mangope's rule in Sothostan while working day and night in the factory just to earn. The owner was also worried about him as he sought his worker nearly working overnight and seemingly thinking something; there he approached him and asked:
"Seems that you are working too much Lucas."
"Yes." Lucas said. "I don't know why I am doing this."
"Then why not have a one week day off?" The owner said. "So that you can recover and at the same time have some rest."
"But..." Lucas said. "How about the earnings?"
"Earnings?" The owner said. "No need to worry about that Lucas."
And Lucas agreed on what the owner said to him, then replied:
"Ok. I will finish some of these for now."
But the owner didn't notice that Lucas was earning money to create something that can trigger a revolt around Sothostan!

After a long work, Lucas again walked home; this time he sought thugs approaching, he was quite thinking whether he will hide or not, but then he insist himself in not intervening with them and instead walking straight home while the thugs went on a mission. While walking home straight and bypassed these people, one thug saw him walking away, there he approached him and said:
"Where are you going?"
"Home." Lucas said.
The thug reacted then said:
"Tell me where are you going!?"
"I am going straight home after work." Lucas said. "And why are you asking me by the way?"
The thug reacted much and immediately raised his gun and nearly pointed directly to him, but the leader immediately stopped from doing as he said:
"Hey! He's just nothing. Why not leave him?"
Then the thug respond by lowering his gun down and said to Lucas:
"Lucky that they stopped me, if not you're dead!"
Then he left away along with the rest of the group leaving Lucas alone in the sidewalk.

While at home, Lucas seemed to be worrying about things around the town. Killings, pillages, anything around becoming rampant due to the actions of Mangope. There he immediately went to his room and sat in his chair, thinking of a way to end this kind of oppression laid upon by these people against them.

But as he went to his work, he sought thugs ransacking the factory and carrying money as well as setting the building on fire. Lucas immediately went inside as the thugs left away, there he sought the owner suffered, and he said:
"Sir, why are they attacking you?"
"I don't know why." The owner said. "I even pay them much so that they will not ransack the factory. I even tried to say that, but they didn't hear and continued doing it. They ransacked every corner, stealing money, then setting it on fire. Why are these incidents growing?"
Then Lucas have him rise up and they immediately left the building away. There they left inside swept by flames, and the owner, upon seeing him, gave thanks and said:
"Thanks for saving me, but I have nothing to give from you."
"Its ok." Lucas said. "For this is in exchange for working here for years, if having benefits; I don't like leaving you dead, the people needs you to rebuild and recover."
The owner simply smiled at him and said:
"Well... Perhaps god sent you here to help."

Days after the tragic incident, Lucas finally become an avenging man, and through him he wanted an armed response to the growing number of deaths and damages coming from the cohorts of Mangope and the mercenary Uys. And as he set upon every plan by himself, he became a lone wolf-but one requirement will make him become wat he wanted-weapons and ammunition.

Morning.
Lucas, with the help of a friend named Elynor, bought a SKS rifle somewhere from the black market. While looking at the gun, he immediately recalled the events that pushed himself to do the job against them, and as he bought the gun from his friend, Elynor asked him:
"So why are you buying that cheap gun from the black market?"
"Well..." Lucas said. "I am doing something that can change Sothostan for a week."
"How about for a day?" Elynor said.
Then Lucas said:
"Perhaps."
And with some ammunition and other equipment coming from corrupt bureaucrats selling war materiel, Lucas finally got something as he expect coming from the earnings he have got day and night, lucky that the thugs nor the mercenaries of Mangope knew about the growing threat coming against them-especially the weapons bought by a worker working in the town.

There Lucas trained himself to fire guns and even practising it in every thug walking as well as their groups while in their mission. A lone wolf at first, Lucas tried much in killing them-and giving them a headshot lead to the deaths of Mangope's men, both thug and mercenary. And at the same time, people were seemingly felt something different as someone around killed those people who killed the innocents, of pillaging around, and of enriching themselves with their loot around Sothostan with the landlord's approval. Some tried to join with him, but Lucas easily knew well who's friend and foe in this kind of stuggle-and yet most joined and took arms "to change Sothostan through the barrel of the gun", and thus he created a group out of avenging masses who swore themselves to the graves of their colleagues and families killed by the cohorts of Mangope and the mercenary Uys.

Meanwhile,
Mangope was shocked on the news that a lone wolf killed fifty to seventy security forces in three days, there he immediately called Nicolaas regarding this situation:
"Nicolaas, how could this happen?"
"I don't know why?" Nicolaas said. "A lone person killed our men? Who is he?"
"Some said that a man named Bissau made this." Nicolaas said. "But others said that a man named Lucas Manyatsoe started this entire mess.
"Then capture that man, whether he is Bissau or Manyatsoe and have him sent here!" Mangope said. "For he needs a lesson!"
Then Nicolaas respond by mobilizing a large group of thugs and mercenaries to capture or kill the man who set fire against them.

Lucas, while loading his gun in a safe house with his comrades, was immediately approached by Elynor, and said:
"Lucas, I heard news that the Manyatsoe and Uys mobilized most of his men just to capture or kill you!"
"Kill me?" Lucas said. "How come they wanted to kill me while they didn't notice that more and more of them are being killed by not just I but the resistance?"
Then Elynor said:
"I am just worried about the situation today."
"Thanks for concerning me Elynor." Lucas said. "However we have more tasks to do, for we are trying to create a hell out of Manyatsoe and the Mercenaries led by Uys!"
Then he gave an AK to her:
"Here, take this AK, and join with us."
"But..." Elynor said. "Why?"
"Remember your father being assassinated by Manyatsoe's orders?" Lucas said. "And ransacked your father's business?"
"Yes." Elynor said. "But then why should I take arms?"
"Revenge!" Lucas said. "Remember your father, he opposed Manyatsoe so much to the point of trying to create a resistance against them. But then he end up killed before trying to do so. Do this for your father!"
Then Elynor felt something as what Lucas said to him, then replied:
"If this is what my father wanted, of resisting Manyatsoe, then I will join with you."
And she accepted the AK and said:
"Then let's go and kill them before they kill us!"
And thus,
Elynor became another member of Mangope's brigade, like Lucas, she gave every attacking thug a headshot while hiding somewhere, and even creating bombs wherein loaded around where Manyatsoe's thugs stayed. These bombs explode fatally that most of them were killed by sharpnel and debis inside the buildings they've stayed. And out of these tragic events happened in Sothostan, Manyatsoe felt something badly and thinking that the lone wolf tried much in destroying him as much as possible "within a day or a week" as what the paper says to him, he tried to call Nicolaas, but as he called him, a thug came and said to the landlord:
"Sir, Nicolaas committed suicide."
"What?" Manyatsoe said. "He committed suicide?Why?"
Then the thug gave a letter to him, Manyatsoe immediately read it and says:
"We failed our task, more and more of them are now rising against you."
Manyatsoe didn't believe at first, only to see him in his office proving that one of his higher staff member, named Nicolaas Uys dead. There he felt some mourn as well as anger since he failed doing his task of destroying the revolt and the person who started.

The next day,
Manyatsoe called his friend, this time a leader of a far-right wing group named "the unknown brotherhood" for help controlling the entire territory. And the leader, whose name is Heinrich Van Eimeren immediately agreed what Manyatsoe said to him, but in exchange for a sum of one hundred florins as well as a "homeland" wherein to stay. Manyatsoe felt something fine for a while after the immediate response from his friend, and with remaining thugs as well as mercenaries of Uys under his control, the landlord immediately created a total response against the revolt. There technicals and other armed vehicles of his were mobilized around the town, while Lucas, upon hearing the "immediate response" and "another mercenary help" from a partisan, immediately called the rest to turn every ghetto into a garrison, a building into a fortress, as possible to stop the attack of Manyatsoe's men as well as the "unknown brotherhood" of Van Eimeren. Lucas then approached Elynor, and said:
"Seems that anything around is trying to test us."
"Yes." Elynor said. "Despite the victories we have made, this week-long revenge would end up rather a month or a year."
"Hm...." Lucas said. "May victory will be ours then, victory or death!"
After talking, a messenger came to him and said:
"Another cache of guns are now ours!"
"Why?" Lucas said.
Then the Messenger replied:
"Our men sought a cache of guns in an abandoned place here!"
"Good." Lucas said. "Same as ammunition and others?"
"Yes." The messenger said.
"Well..." Lucas said. "Have our men get the guns and ammo, for we are starting to defend against the enemy."
"Yes sir!" The messenger said.
And he left away leaving Lucas and Elynor in the safe house. Elynor, upon hearing their talks, then asked Lucas:
"Seems that you are stockpiling guns for now."
"Yes." Lucas said. "As much as possible while turning every ghetto, building into a fortress against the enemy. What do you think about it?"
"Um..." Elynor said. "Perhaps this will be the day you will actually face their wrath, especially towards you."
And Lucas replied:
"But despite of these, all of us are willing to do enough sacrifice for the sake of victory. Manyatsoe will always be a thorn in every people so it needs to be destroyed."

And as he went out, he sought people running as trucks of Manyatsoe's men are trying to control the entire scene, but as he ran along with them, he sought them raising guns and starting to fire on high, and even hearing one of them saying:
"We are now in a kaffir firing picnic don't we?"
Then he started to shoot every people running around the road, others tried to hide in every building, while some tried to go somewhere just to prevent being killed by both "unknown brotherhood" members or Manyatsoe's thugs.

However,
As the killing spree going on, Lucas's partisans respond by throwing oil bombs against them, others fired guns through the window firing every thug in every vehicle they rode. Blood for blood, death for death, Sothostan became a killing field made by the oppressor and the oppressed! There Lucas, now staying in one of the buildings controlled by his command, fired every attacking thug through his SKS while some continued firing them with their AKs as an act of revenge. Some tried to recover every corpse and wounded and sent immediately to hospital as possible despite the conflict around. Manyatsoe, while staying in his palace, assembled some of his men to protect the palace and its surrounding areas against attacks from Mangope and his men; there he immediately turned every part of the building into a fortress of his, wherein machine guns are placed in every window, of recoilless rifles and even volunteers from the "unknown brotherhood" of Van Eimeren; Manyatsoe tried to secure himself as he could, but he can't withstand the anger coming from those who are against him!

As the battle continues in the entire Sothostan, Lucas tried much in firing every enemy from the road, this time with a recoilless rifle, he fired it straight to the technicals wherein the thugs and the "unknown brotherhood" members rode, and with every fire he made gave a dozen deaths from its explosion given. However, one technical remained intact, but these remaining "unknown brotherhood" members who were inside, consists of three didn't reply him with gunfire or something against the lone wolf who started. But Lucas, as he sought them, immediately approached them and seeing these three wounded people surrendering, only to ask:
"Why are you here?"
"We came from Wintergreen village."
"Wintergreen village?" Lucas said. "I don't believe all of you were there!"
Then the mercenary took off some of pictures then said:
"Here, we came from that village."
And then he pleaded for his life as well the lives of the other two wounded members of the "unknown brotherhood". But Menyatsoe, still knowing that they are the ones who joined in the fray then said:
"You want a kaffir shooting picnic right!?"
then he shot the three wounded men dead at point blank range with his SKS, then saying to them:
"what are you doing in my country?"

After the dreaded incident, Menyatsoe immediately left them dead and called the rest of his group to advance against the remaining thugs and members of the "unknown brotherhood" in other parts of Sothostan. Blood flows fast as gunshots shared in every path and building; one partisan costs ten foes every killing; and Menyatsoe, seeing every foe, sniped every stubborn thug in the head, giving them a fatal death in its path against the rebellious.

And as they "cleansed off" the way, many people went out and cheered Lucas and the rest of his gun-wielding group. There most of them immediately offered food of some sort, while others approached to plea for justice against the perpectuators, Lucas then stopped and said:
"We are now rising stubbornly in order to end the years Mangope laid oppression against us. Blood flows continuously in every suffering kind, and people for sure are crying and calling for justice that makes us pick the gun and raise the standard of battle; I notice that most of us are trying to speak off our anger against them, and through us perhaps we will do our best not just to destroy Mangope and his cohorts, but also to create a new Sothostan, this time based in freedom, justice, equality, fraternity and peace. So are you with us?"
Then the people started to agree on what he said to them; every place around becomes a liberation zone, and started a institute genuine justice and order in every part of the town, there every enemy combatant captured were put into trial, wherein all started to vent their anger and pointing their finger against them; and with every truth given these people immediately sentenced them to death through the firing squad! And Lucas, seeing the people giving justice, then said to Elynor:
"These people somehow are tired of Mangope, they started pointing their finger against them."
"Yes." Elynor said. "But,"
"What do you mean but?" Lucas said.
"How about others who are affected by the thugs and being forced to join?" Elynor said.
"Well..." Lucas said. "We may save them, but they need to be educated in order not to become dirty just like those who had serious crimes against the people; of being accused and confessed of their crime."

The next day,
Lucas Manyatsoe, along with Elynor Ben Bella and the rest of the group set its wrath, this time directly against Mangope, Van Eimeren and the rest of the group inside the buildings controlled by them. And despite having "heavily fortified" with guns, Lucas immediately got a recoilless rifle and fired against them. There he fired directly against them through the window and exploding a cache where ammunition stored; there he quickly respond his men and fired at every foe trying to defend. Lucas then found Heinrich trying to escape, and said:
"Hey you! Why are you running?"
Then Heinrich immediately respond him with gunfire and running away. Lucas simply followed him, until...

Heinrich found nowhere to escape since anything is controlled by a group of partisans in every hatchway. There Lucas simply found him and said:
"Give up Heinrich Van Eimeren! You are now under the territory of free Sothostan, and you need to face the charges of the people against you."
"But..." Heinrich said. "We're been sent by by Mangope to control this land, how come you file against us?"
Then Lucas replied:
"Your men killed innocent civilians and other combatants against our enemy, as what he said-a kaffir shooting picnic?"
"I simply said to them not to fire civilans!" Heinrich said. "But they didn't obey my commands!"
"Hm..." Lucas said. "People does not belive in you, you are even a leader of an organization whose objective is to destroy us!"
"Destroy us?" Heinrich said. "We are here just to maintain order in your homeland!"
"We know how to maintain ourselves!" Lucas said.
But Heinrich tried to kill Lucas straightly through his revolver, But Lucas immediately fired his gun in the enemy's hand wherein his gun holding, along with another shot towards Heinrich's chest and fell. Then Lucas added:
"We don't need your support."
Then Lucas left away leaving the dead right-winger around the mess.

As Lucas left the building, he was approached by Elynor and said:
"Are you alright?"
"Yes." Lucas said. "I have killed the mercenary Van Eimeren."
"How about Mangope?" Elynor said.
"We will attack him right away." Lucas said. "For now, we will move our headquarters here."

Meanwhile,
Mangope heard reports that Van Eimeren had been killed by the leader of the partisans. There he tried to call another support as well as he rallied thousands of his supporters against the partisans who are fighting against him, but as the enemy was fast approaching, this time with some armored cars of Erhardt type, and some are even fitted with recoilless rifles salvaged from their fallen; the landlord became eager to control some of his field with his men, the factories as well as the granaries full of wheat; but then, he noticed that more and more enemies are rising against him-as the guns are pointing directly towards his palace.

While Lucas, as he reorganized the rest of his men, now bigger, was thinking much of an attempt to subvert Mangope away and to liberate Sothostan from the landlord; and as he recalled the Erhardts fitted with recoilless rifles in its turrets, then said to the drivers:
"Point the recoilless guns directly to the palace, and fire them to destroy every portion of their fortress while some will directly enter the palace in a full scale."
Then Elynor said:
"How about firing them with recoilless rifles in the Erhardts before advancing with our men? We need less bloodshed in our comrades."
"Hm..." Lucas said. "Seems a good attempt, but having a massive advance would stop them from getting recover and from reorganization; otherwise they will reply us with gunfire and some minimal counteroffensives."
Then one of the soldiers asked Lucas:
"We found an artillery consists of guns salvaged from the enemy."
"Artillery?" Lucas said. "Consist of what guns?"
"Mostly 75mm guns." The soldier said. "That would be better than using most of the recoilless rifles."
And Lucas replied:
"Perhaps, better if an artillery barrage would be set upon against them, and then a total infantry offensive."
The rest agreed with what Lucas hath said to them. And Lucas added:
"Our liberated zones needs some unity, and perhaps we will turn Sothostan a commune run by a revolutionary committee."
"Revolutionary committee?" Elynor said. "To be led by whom?"
"Us." Lucas said. "Along with the people who joined in our struggle."
"But these liberated zones are run by a councils if I am not mistaken." Elynor said. "Why do we need to unite them?"
"Sothostan needs unity, and unity needs Sothostan." Lucas said. "Sothostan is intended to be a centralized commune consists of councils coming from its liberated zones, and it should be run by a revolutionary committee consists of us, and representatives coming from them, and it would act as a decision making body for rebuilding the homeland."
Then some of the members of the councils coming from liberated zones came, then one of them said:
"We need your leadership."
And Lucas stood up, approached one of them and replied:
"I am trying to, and we need all of you to run the affairs here, especially though this commune I am endorsing. How about join us here than contenting in standing up here? Perhaps some of you may say some suggestions."
And the rest joined with him in the discussion table for some brief talks regarding the creation of a commune and a revolutionary committee to run its affairs."
Then Elynor, upon recieving a reply from the International Red Aid through a telegraph, then spoke to Lucas regarding the support:
"Lucas, our request for additional support for food and medicine has been granted; trucks will be sent here immediately."
"That's good." Lucas said. "Although this support seemed to be supplimental for us."
"Why?" Elynor said.
Then one of Lucas's men approched Lucas and spoke silently:
"Comrade, the granaries owned by Mangope are now ours!"
Then Lucas replied to him:
"Why not tell it to everybody?"
And the official said to the rest:
"The granaries owned by Mangope are now liberated by our men, but we need some trucks to immediately distribute food to the rest."
Then one council member raised his hand then said:
"I have trucks. And I will immediately call them to mobilize."
And another said:
"We have also another trucking business, and we are willing to use it."
Lucas, upon hearing these words, then replied:
"That would be better, although I called the International Red Aid to help us lessening the growing number of hungry people here. We don't want someone to raise anger against us or die out of their empty stomachs. We need food for them as well as us as one of the basic necessities."
The rest simply agreed then Lucas added:
"This time, we should focus much in our last thrust against the landlord. We may have defeated his cohorts, his supporters, his mercenaries, his volunteers. But we need to finish the one who started this entire mess against us."

And on the next day,
With artillery consists of 75mm guns and recoilless rifles firing in the Erhardts, Lucas simply waited for a go signal in order to advance through as possible. But then, the enemy respond with gunfire in every defense surrounding around the last resort; there the artillery continued firing and firing until some of its defenses were crippled much due to its fire. There Lucas himself called the rest for a major attack against them.
Many of the Partisans were wounded and killed by the enemy's defence upon trying to attack, but despite the number of casualties, Lucas tried his best to destroy the "last resort" of Mangope. And with the help of the recoilless rifles in the turrets of the Erhardts as well as the 75mm guns both firing as an artillery barrage, every portion of the palace were perished much and its defenders were killed; Mangope felt being beaten too much by the enemy, and said to his cousin, acting as his official:
"More and more of us are beaten, I tried to call my supporters but most of them are perished by the growing ranks of opposition against me. Is this the reply coming from my actions taken? What I made to them is in fact, a way to restore order and to prevent from further disintegration of the state!"
"Why not escape?" His cousin said. "We have a plane prepared for you."
"But..." Mangope said. "How about the land we've worked hard to become prosperous?"
"It's too late." His cousin said. "The rest of Sothostan belongs to the enemy."
But as the artillery stopped its firing, Mangope then said to his cousin:
"Perhaps I need to surrender."
"Why?" His cousin said. "Are you our of your mind? They'll kill you directly!"
"Perhaps fate made me be destroyed." Mangope said. "If they want me to die, then so may it be."

But then,
His last attempt was too late, as Lucas Manyatsoe and his men advanced through, thinking that the landlord's men were totally perished and some surrendered to them, but as Lucas and his men sought went through his office, he sought Mangope committed suicide by firing himself through the temple. Then Lucas, upon seeing him dead, then spoke to his men:
"All is over. Mangope's era is now history."
And Lucas simply stared in every portion of the palace once owned by a tyrant, then said:
"He seemingly tried to make Sothostan good, in an expense of our sweat and blood-but what he did is a mess through his thugs and his allies pointing against us."

And as they went outside, Lucas Manyatsoe end up, this time being saluted by many people as he became a hero for leading three men to kill thousands of enemies who killed his own kind led the perpectuator who started the entire mess.

(Fantasia) Snow Maiden Mafe

Snow Maiden Mafe

It was a dark cold night when Paul Doloryuki walked alone in the forest, While walking, he felt the cold wind and snow as well as being saddened for the days being marred by insult and of humiliation around him in the town made by those people who are jealous of him.

And as he continued walking and feeling the cold and sadness in the forest, he sought an abandoned cottage and he went inside for a rest without heat and relying on the bread he've bought from the store for the long journey alone.

But as he remained inside without any heat and without any companion, Paul, marred by lonliness and of sadness, went out and desparately went outside and sought snow. And there he tried much in creating a maiden simply by molding and carving it, then as Paul continued carving hard snow he've found, he's accidentally got a cut from his pocketknife, and few drops of blood dropped from the white snow figures he have carved, and despite the cold and the sadness around him, Paul completed the maiden he have molded and carved out of snow, and he went back to the cottage for rest.

While resting, Paul dreamed a maiden, dressed in white and dark blue, that maiden seemed to be beautiful, white skinned and brown haired, Paul felt something different as he sought a beautiful girl trying to join with him. But meanwhile, something's happened outside as the snow maiden created by the loner turns something different though the fusion of blood coming from his and the snow, and with the help of the wood fairies and of the forest spirits who invoke spells, the sculpture made by a loner brought to life.

The next day,
Paul woke up after a long rest. This time, he sought something different, and instead, he sought a burning fireplace, fine cooked food as well as a maiden sitting in the chair. There he felt somewhat thankful since someone seemed to be nice, different from people who tend to destroy him much, and then he asked:
"Hello, who are you? And why are you here?"
Then the maiden said:
"I am here and taking care you."
"But who are you?" Paul said.
Then the maiden replied:
"I am Mafe."
"Mafe?" Paul said."Sounds new to me, where do you come from?"
"I don't know." Mafe said.
"You don't know?" Paul said."You don't know where you live?"
"Yes." Mafe said. "But I consider the woods as my abode."
And Paul said:
"Hm... I'm quite thinking because you're too beautiful to live alone in the forest, are you a fairy? A witch?"
"Nope." Mafe said.
"Then who are you?" Paul said.
"I am just the girl whom you created." Mafe said.
"You?" Paul said. "How come you say it? You are real!"
Then he immediately went outside and looking around, There he sought nothing and even think that the ice maden he've made may have melted away or destroyed by a beast. And then he said to Mafe:
"You are too beautiful to be the ice maiden I have carved, but thanks for keeping me warm and having a kind heart to help me."
"No need to worry about that." Mafe said. "I am always here to stay."

And after eating, Paul bid goodbye to the ice maiden and returned home.But Mafe said:
"So when you will return?"
"I don't know." Paul said. "But I will try to go."
Then Mafe said:
"Well then, as long as you are here in the woods I am here."
Then Paul bid goodbye and went to the town and to face the people who use to insult him.

While on the town, Paul sought the same people around the place, and as he returned home, a drunken father asked him:
"Why you didn't come home yesterday?"
"Why do you say so?" Paul said. "Are you concerned or something?"
"No." His father said. "I am just asking why you didn't come home yesterday?"
"It is none of your business father." Paul said. "How come you want to ask then you will do something terrible against me?"
Then his father immediately stood up, raised his baton and started to beat him and said:
"How could you..."
But Paul said:
"So you will do this to me again? Beating me since childhood?"
Then his mother came and tried to ease her husband's temper and said to Paul:
"Paul, how come you say this to your father?"
"Why?" Paul said. "I am sick and tired of his actions against me, How come he's doing right while he's beating me all the time? Isn't it right to treat a son like a peon to the family? Of being maltreated by those people around me?"
"But then," his father said. "I gave you food, I gave you home, so you need to pay for it, by working here!"
"Work father?" Paul said. "How come you say so? Is that the way a father treats a son? To be a slave to the family?"
"Please stop that!" his mother said. "We are just worried about you for you didn't come home yesterday."
"Worried?" Paul said. "How come all of you are concerned? Worried while all of you are blind, deaf, and mute in having me insulted? Maltreated by people around this place? Isn't it right for a father to treat his son badly, of treating his son as if a beast of burden while he is drinking too much wine all the time?"
Then his mother replied:
"But still, he's your father!"
"Stop telling me that!" Paul said. "I am not a kid anymore, I am not even a slave here in this abode! I am even tired of being a laughingstock and a curse around this town!"
But his father tried much in swaying off his wife's hand and immediately raised his baton and trying to beat him. People outside heard the noise and even went just to look how Paul's father trying to beat his son.

And out of the following events surrounding him around the town, of insults, of humiliations out of him, Paul decided to leave and there he immediately packed his things out and left the place he called home. Outside people sought him stepping out and some even cursed him, saying:
"You are such a disgrace to your family!"
"You're a curse!"
"Devil's son!"
And even threw snowballs in his face as he walked towards the gate of the town walls. While walking, he simply restrained himself since he felt how his family and people cursed him and even spoke a last insult, and as he reached the gate, there he spoke directly against them:
"So are you happy in expelling me? Perhaps tommorrow all of you are preparing a feast since you have expelled a man who is a weak, fool,and stupid in the eyes of the people here in this town, Perhaps women are even happy also since the man whom they despised is gone forever, so why not just spoke a final word for me since I will leave this cursed place?"
Then one of the people, whose name is Brien, upon hearing what he said, then apologized for insulting him too much:
"Paul, I am terribly sorry for doing anything against you."
Others followed as they felt how the person whom they insulted spoke angrily against them, but Paul didn't accept their apologies and even picked a stone just to threw directly on to the face of the one apologizing, and said:
"This is what I will give to you, I don't need your apologies, but instead may death be with you!"
Then Paul left the town leaving the people silent. His father also became conscienced after what his son said to him lately, but then he didn't stop his son from going away.

While walking alone, Paul then wept and again felt the sadness as he left the town he called as "cursed." And as he continue walking he tried much to forget it, forgetting every memory coming from them and instead walking towards the woods where he may stay again.

In the woods, Paul became tired and he stopped at the tree for awhile, there he simply sat and trying to get some bread from his bag, again he tried much to recover as he eat the last peice of bread he have bought.And after eating he lie down in sleep for a rest.

Meanwhile,
Mafe, while inside the cottage, felt a wisp of the wind, and immediately went out to look for Paul. There she walked and walked until she sought him lying beneath the tree, there she hath him wake up and Paul sought again the beautiful face of the maiden trying to awake him after a long rest, and said:
"Hey! Wake up!"
Then Paul said:
"Why?"
But as he sought Mafe, he said:
"Oh! Mafe! You're here!"
"Ya." Mafe said. "I came here just to fetch you."
"How come you know me?" Paul said.
"I heard your voice and I feel your sorrow." Mafe said.
Then Paul replied:
"Oh! Thanks for concerning me."
Then Mafe hath him raise up and the two went back to the cottage.

While in the cottage, Paul then asked Mafe:
"Seems that you are trying much in helping me."
"Yes." Mafe said. "And I am trying to ease the pain that comes from your heart."
Then Paul said:
"My heart, my body, my mind and soul, all of them are scarred because of the people around me. All of them underestimated, insulted, destroyed my reputation and dignity, is this what god or somewhere else gave to me?"
And Mafe replied:
"These people are just insecure because you have something that nobody have. They may have treated you much of a slave, a prisoner, a person chained most of the time, and because of them you tried much in breaking off."
Paul simply nod and then he said:
"I can't accept their apologies upon leaving the town, they are too dumb to say such things, for they are good in stabbing one's backs."
And Mafe replied:
"But you are lucky for you are here with a someone who concerned you most."
Then Paul said:
"Well... thanks for helping me much. Perhaps the heavens created you to help me ease."

Nighttime.
While sleeping, Paul dreamed of an old man appeared in the cottage, and as he sought him, he said:
"Old man, why are you here?"
Then the old man replied:
"I am here to tell you something."
"What?" Paul said. "Have I done anything wrong?"
"No." The old man said. "But..."
"Tell me." Paul said.
"The girl whom you met," The old man said. "Is the same girl whom you created out of snow last last last time."
"How come she is the girl whom I created?" Paul said. "She's too real to be a snow maiden!"
Then the old man replied:
"Remember the snow maiden you've sculpted?"
"Yes." Paul said.
"Do you remember the day you got a cut from a pocketknife?" The old man said.
"Yes." Paul said.
"Blood from your scar dropped in your creation." The old man said. "And through it, blood mixes with snow, turning it into flesh, giving it life and beauty around her. The fairies and wood spirits hath give her thought, idea, and even clothes to wear."
"I see." Paul said. "But will she stay in the middle of snow then melt in spring?"
"I don't know." The old man said. "But you are the one who can make her real."
"I can't understand this." Paul said. "How come she is my creation?"
Then The old man replied:
"You will recall it."
Then he disappeared.

Morning.
As Paul woke up earlier, he immediately prepared wood for fire and then food around the forest. Mafe was sleeping at that time as he prepared everything for both of them, there Paul tried hard in creating good food, lighting a fire in a fireplace, as well as cleaning anything around the house.

And after doing some basic chores, Paul simply approached Mafe and hath her wake up. While waking her up, he sought the beauty of the ice maiden, of finely brown hair and white skinned; as well as having a nice body similar to the asparas of long ago; and as Mafe woke up, she sought anything around prepared and said:
"Paul? Are you the one who prepared these?"
"Yes." Paul said. "I woke up pearly just to do these things."
Then Mafe smiled and said:
"Well... thanks. I am quite thinking that you prepared all of these that I am supposed to do."
"No need to worry about." Paul said. "I am not like any other person who do something different towards women and others."
And Mafe simply smiled and joined with Paul for breakfast.

While eating, Paul simply spoke to Mafe:
"At first, I didn't believe that you are the snow maiden whom I created."
"Why?" Mafe said. "You are now believing that I am the snow maiden?"
"I tried to belive in it." Paul said. "For it is difficult to see a real girl who in fact created out of snow and brought to life."
Mafe then smiled and said:
"Well... For now you see a girl made out of snow."
"Ya." Paul said. "A beautiful maiden carved out of snow and brought to life."
"Really?" Mafe said.
"Yes." Paul said. "And I am amazed that the snow maiden I have made is the girl who gave something what no one have given to me."
And the two continued eating breakfast. Outside, snow continues to fall in the forest.

Meanwhile, in the town Paul hath left,
Many people were quite silent as they get conscienced after Paul left the entire town. But as all of them seemingly continued working, one of them, a girl named Rizza, assembled the people around, again to dispel their mistake and instead kill the man whom they called a curse:
"All of us are deeply saddened because of a man whom we called as a curse and a dumb. However we must not worry about this since he at first created this mess not ours! We may have maltreated him, but then he created something bad against us-imagine, he became rebellious to his parents? Of doing more mistakes? And even spreading lies and creating mischief? We must not worry about him, but rather kill that cursed man so that his curse around the town will dispel forever!"
Then Brien, whose face was pelted by a stone from Paul, then said:
"I simply felt what he gave to me, I tried to apologize but then he pelted my face with a stone, he's simply mad, deply mad, and a curse that needs to be killed. If he wants that thing, then we will give him what he deserve!"
Then the people started to talk about this, and most of them started to agree about what the two said to them, and thus,
they started to get anything just to search, capture, and kill Paul! His father was even raged with anger upon recalling his name after being spoken by Rizza, and he immediately joined with the rest to capture his cursed son. There they started to pick their pitchforks, their scythes and lit off their torches, and started to march to capture the cursed boy of the town!

Paul, while outside, was working alone in the woods, cutting wood and throwing bird seed to the ravens and other birds around. And as he continued working, he seemed happy since he also enjoyed being with Mafe whom he called as "the snow maiden". However after working, he heard some noises somewhere, there he immediately seek in it-until he heard directly the noises of the people wanted him to be captured and dragged off to the town and be killed, there he immediately ran then went back to the cottage and said to Mafe:
"Mafe, there are people runnung after us!"
"Why?" Mafe said.
"I don't know why!" Paul said. "But they are calling my name, perhaps they will kill me!"
Then Mafe replied:
"No need to worry Paul, you are safe here."
"But..." Paul said. "The people are approaching near the cottage!"

And as the people approached the cottage, Rizza, sensing that Paul stayed there, called the rest to open the door forcefully until it breaks down. Paul, while inside along with Mafe, tried much in staying inside until the door broke down and sought Paul and Mafe inside, Paul tried to defend against the mob, but Brien shot him in the knee by his arrow and Paul fell down. There the mob cornered the two, and started to lynch them, only to be stoped by Rizza, Paul's father and Brien in order to be sent to the town square to be executed. There the two were being dragged back to the town, and Paul stared at the midday sky growing dark as if something terrible comes.

While at the town, Paul and Mafe were put to a mock trial in the town square wherein most people agreed to have Paul sentenced to death, but Mafe then stood up and said to the rest:
"How come he is bad since he hath done nothing?"
"You don't know who he is." Rizza said. "He was just a scumbag here in this town."
"But." Mafe said. "Why all of you want to kill him although he expelled himself in this cursed town of yours?"
"Cursed town?" Brien said. "He made this town cursed therefore he needs to be punished?"
"Punished?" Paul said. "Then fine! All of you expelled me, isn't it stupid to return me here along with her and be killed?"
Then the people around laughed, and some even threw snowballs at the two. Then Brien stopped the noise and said to Paul:
"It is our decision to return you here and be punished for your sins."
Then Paul replied:
"It is all of you who are sinful than I! All of you are empty same as your souls!"
"Hahahaha." Rizza said. "Seems that your words made us laugh. You're just a hopeless individual isn't it? Having no fiends, your family trashed you, why not accept the fate that you deserved to be dead?"
"Fine!" Paul said. "This trial is not even true or even a trial after all!"
Then Mafe said to the rest:
"All of you are seemingly blind, deaf and mute by ignorance! All of you have no conscience on what being done to us! Having no heart except of stone and cold like this winter!"
"Indeed." Brien said. "We are cold as winter."
Then he spoke to the rest:
"Are we cold as winter?"
Then the people laughed as what being said to them.

And Paul, suffered, stared at the dark sky and said to the rest:
"Kill me, but not her!"
"Sure! Why not!" Paul's father said. "We wanted you to die to restore the family's power hahaha..."
Then he approached him and prepared his death sentence by beheading. However, Mafe resisted him until he intentionally thrusted Mafe in the back, and Mafe fell down trying to defend Paul. There Paul was shocked and shouted:
"Mafe!"
And he tried much to approach her. Many of the people were quite shocked as his father killed a girl and then trying to kill his son next! And some were deeply saddened as Paul sought Mafe bleeding; there he barely approached her and then helding her body, he shouted the rest of the people surrounding him in the town:
"All of you are cursed not I or even her! How come all of you do this to us? Father, is this the way to treat a son? Why not kill me instead of her?"
Then his father said:
"Well... If you want to join with her then I will do the job!"
Then he stabbed him with the stomach with his sword and Paul, feeling the pain and the oozing blood from where the sword struck and eventually fell down where Mafe hath lied in the town square. Many people were shocked as Paul's father stabbed his "cursed son", then said as he lied down:
"This is what you are supposed to be-Dead to save the legacy of my family and the rest of the people in this town!"
And Rizza, upon staring Paul lying beside Mafe, then looked to the people and said:
"We must not mourn for the cursed one and his companion are all dead! Why not just rejoice and even burn them so that their souls will also be burned too!"
And the people immediately get some firewood and with the help of Rizza and Paul's archenemy, they burned the corpses of the two and rejoiced while some felt the concience within after what Paul said to the rest, followed by he and his companion's deaths! There blood coming from Paul's body then creates something different just like the day he created the snow maiden; this time would be different-as the body of the girl would change, perhaps of becoming real due to its effect and of the spells once being said by the spirits around. But people didn't notice what's going on around their doing, for despite the flames, the bodies of the two didn't burn completely except for the wood; and at the same time a strong blizzard blew the fire and created a mound in the place where the bodies lie. People around seemingly got shocked, and even scared as they thought that what they have done to the two led to a wrath! Rizza tried to control them, but as the storm continues, Rizza, Brien, and some of the people, including Paul's father and mother can't withstand the strong wind, even they entered their abodes until they fell and died in the extreme freeze.

The next day,
The town became a howling wilderness as everything around becomes too silent. Frozen corpses are scattered since these bodies were of people died by extreme cold by the blizzard, at the same time the old man, along with his men went to the mound of ice to unearth the bodies of the two. But as they unearth the mound, they found Paul and Mafe together with their hands held, there they raised, carried and eventually sent to the underworld where someone awaits.

While in the underworld, Paul raised back to life by the spells and incantations spoken by the people around him, at first, he felt something around then followed by blinking his eyes and even trying to move on the place where he lie. The old man then came to him and said:
"Don't move Paul!"
"Why?" Paul said.
"We are trying to cure your body." The old man said.
"But, I am dead for now!" Paul said.
"But now you are now being raised back to life." The angel of death said. "But your body still needs a cure."
"How about Mafe?" Paul said. "Where is she?"
"Your companion?" The old man said. "She's now lying somewhere."
"But..." Paul said. "I need to see her!"
"Not for now." The old man said. "You need to stay."
Then the angel of death left him away lying and listening to the long incantations around him.

At that time,
Mafe was in a cold frozen place, sealed in an ice block and the old man whom Paul hath met tried hard in making her real. Through every spell and incantation being said, of the red candles being lit in the entire place, the old man seemingly seeing anything around her whether she will return to being snow or becoming real, but then as spells and incantations continue to speak, lies a chance to make Mafe be a real maiden and not to return as a snow.

Paul seemingly felt again the lonliness as didn't see Mafe for days in the underworld. Seeing nothing but darkness and a small shaft of light, Paul promised himself to see her again, this time if not as a snow carved girl but a real one who can be with him forever; but on the other hand he thinks that Mafe may have melted away since she was out of snow brought to life, there he simply remained silent and thinking about her while listening to the incantations around him, and even speaking in tounges out of hearing the voices surrounding:
"iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE oooooooooooooooooooooo uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..."
There he seemingly can't stop speaking in tounges as he was lying and listening to the voices around, only to be approached by the angel of death and said:
"Paul!"
Paul then stopped speaking in tounges to himself and he sought the angel and said:
"Why? Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Yes." The old man said. "You may rise up."
"Why?" Paul said. "At first you say I will lie here then now you have me rise?"
"Yes." The old man said. "So that you may see your companion."
"Where is she?" Paul said.
Then the old man replied:
"I will show you the way where she is."

And Paul rose up from what he was lying and with the old man they walked until they reached where the snow maiden enclosed in an ice block, there the old man looked at him and said:
"Here's Mafe, she's beautiful isn't she?"
"Yes." Paul said. "Very beautiful indeed."
Then Paul approached the ice block and stared, and even touched the ice that binds her. And as he continue touching, old man then asked Paul:
"What makes you create her?"
"I was very alone then." Paul said. "Very alone for I have no someone to get along with, to help me with, to care and to seek something good than those people who were maltreating me."
"Where are the people whom they maltreated you?" The old man said.
"I don't know." Paul said.

Then suddenly...
A shaft of light appeared, then the ice quickly melted away as the light casts of its heat towards it. There Paul was quite shocked at first, then said to the old man that the prayers and incantations were fulfilled, and the old man said:
"Despite being inside, she tries to live, she tries to be real, she tries to be with you, she needs you-to be with forever!"
And as the ice completely melt, rose a real maiden like an insect shedding its skin; there Paul again approached her given a warm embrace and then said:
"Mafe? Do you know me?"
Then Mafe stared at him and said:
"Yes. And this time, I am now a real girl."
And Paul burst into tears as he embraced her warmly and said:
"Perhaps, this is the answer to my prayers then."
"You have answered a prayer Paul." Mafe said. "For blood, snow, spell and love made me real."
"Yes." Paul said. "And I want to be with you."
And the old man hath said to the two:
"Perhaps, your hardship is over Paul, for anything around you is vanquished by their fate."
"I know." Paul said. "For their fate perhaps is out of what they've done.

Outside, winter has ended, and spring hath started, giving a new life over the entire land. New trees casts off its green, flowers and fruits have sprung, anything around becomes different after a long winter around. There Paul and Mafe rose up from the underworld and sought a different place to see in it. Again they walked into the woods, staring at the trees, and even went to the cottage that looks the same as what they have stayed, anything seemingly complete as Paul and Mafe may have thought- with a burning fireplace and even furniture out of fine woodwork and woolwork in it. There Paul said to Mafe:
"All of these seems to be a gift from somewhere."
"I don't know." Mafe said. "But perhaps the forest spirits hath made these things out for us."
"It would be." Paul said.
Then the two entered the cottage and prepared their common work to do.

And in the end, after a long long days of a relationship, of hardship, and of sorrow around, Paul married Mafe, this time the girl whom he created became a real girl, not of ice but of real flesh, not of snow but of real beauty.
