100 100. Untold

The crashing waves of water could be heard from hundreds of meters away. The ocean was roaring as the waves crashed onto the sea stacks scattered about its territory.

On some shore was a lady with one leg carrying the body of a boy with golden hair. The lady was the same person as the one who tried to kill Colt and Sera.

Her face was no longer covered, and her clothes were ripped to pieces. She felt her body was heavy, but she dragged the boy with all her might.

She only had one leg remaining, and the sharp pain from the one that had ripped out by the monster of a butler never left.

Her face and body had many cuts and bruises on it. The unforgiving sea almost devoured them, but, in the end, they lived.

The boy could only be Julius, and their location were east near the Valley of Death,

The crashing waves echoed from afar. The lady fell face flat; her strength had already been sapped out.

She was trying to catch for air, but other it was not looking good. She had lost too much blood, and she used all of her aura trying to escape from the sea with Julius.

She can tell that death was coming to embrace her sooner or later. In Julius' hands was a glowing evergreen leaf. If she takes it, then she will live.

The regenerating factor it has is something of a myth after all. The chance to live was in front of her, but instead of taking it, she shook her head.

"Julius…it seems like big sister is going to die here…it seems like we won't be able to have that trip you always asked for."

The lady had no golden hair; neither was she a beastman. She has no blood connection with Julius, but for her, the kid that betrayed the Young Master of the Edgeworth Family will always be her brother.

He was her family, her only family that she has.

She will die here for him.

But she regrets nothing.

Death will come.

But it didn't matter.

Recalling the memories of the past, the lady began shedding tears. Before she met Julus, she was a street rat that's about to die.

She scavenges the corpses of the dead, and she herself reap the life of others. She prostitutes herself at a very young age to eat something.

Her fate was already sealed, and it was Julius who saved her. That time when Julius extended his hands to someone who had been stoned almost to death was the moment when, she, Mia gained her name and another chance in life.

Mia closed her eyes; she was crying as she was scared. Everyone fears death, and she is no different.

The suffocating feeling of the end enveloped her. The feeling of suffocation enveloped her.

She was afraid to die...but this fate was inevitable.

As he eyes grew dim, Mia closed tried looking around for Julius' hands. She wanted a companion before dying.

She felt someone grasps her hand, and she smiled ever so slightly.

She was ready to leave. Her last words were uttered, but from what seemed to be far away, she heard a cry, "No! No! No! Nooo! D-don't, please…don't."

The cry was feeble, but it was heartfelt. Mia smiled weakly. There is no one waiting for her in the afterlife, only she will ascend, but at least she knows that the one she cares about is still alive.

But, as Mia was about to entirely lose her consciousness, the cold left her body, and she was enveloped with warmth.

'How warm….'

Under the bright light of the sun, Mia's leg was regrown, and her injuries disappeared. The leaf of the World Tree is nowhere to be found, and Julius now carried Mia on his tiny back.

He was a devious bastard who tried to kill his benefactor for the sapling of the World Tree. He ignored his orders and acted out of his own desires.

He managed to get a single leaf from that very World Tree, and that might have been enough to save anyone from any ailment, defect, or injury.

But…he lost the World Tree and the last saving grace of this failure, the one leaf he retrieved had now been officially used up.

Mia slept from exhaustion, and Julius left with her on his back. As he walked, he spoke, "I'm not so much of scum to let my sister die. Even if I save her due to your sacrifice, our Mother will be saddened and angered at us. So…sister…dodon't hate me when you wake up."

Julius stated as he disappeared into the nearby woods.

Julius is a traitorous man. But as he continued to walk forward, the view of his back carrying his older sister can be seen as a young man walking away with his back turned against the world...his story remaiins untold but his life remains constant.
