The mages of all districts under Yogev's leadership worked so hard for the past months to create the huge wall around the castle, it seemed that they were convinced a little about that idea however, he was now the least favorite person to all of them in the entire region, even to his people.
He was already hearing extravagant rumors about him, whether it was about the way he led them or about his personal life.
There were a lot of theories about him, but the two main ones of them were that he was taking advantage of girls by using his position as the leader to force them into a physical relationship, and the second rumor was that he was using his male mages also for a physical relationship.
In both rumors, people said that he was using his title as a leader to control the people around him, when in fact he never thought about that kind of stuff since the world fell apart.
Yogev was having a lack of sleep because of overthinking everything around him, he was disgusted by the way people whom he was trying to protect looked at him, he was too tired of everything.
He had several arguments with Heigl and it seemed that he was never going to be friends with him .
The guy looked at him in a really bad way and no matter what he tried to do to convince him that he did those things for the people he always failed .
Two weeks before the triple full moons, he ordered his people to be ready for that event and he was confident about the plan that he made with Heigl to protect them with the wall.
No matter how much he tried to erase the idea of districts, people always stayed attached to it, they bullied each other for that too and he always found himself in the middle of arguments.
Those who left never came back but he anticipated that they would appear in the next event seeking protection.
Yogev always stayed away from his people at night because he needed some time for himself.
He was laying in the grass field looking at the three moons in the sky with despair, he heard a few steps closer to him.
"I told you, no need to send me women, I am your leader and it is my duty to protect you, no need for this kind of stuff," He said without even looking at their faces .
Every night, someone was making the girls go to please him at night, he couldn't identify who did it, and he didn't want the others to know about it so he just kept sending them away, however, what he didn't know was that the girls felt that he hurt their pride, and they chose to lie on this matter they all said that he had a sexual relationship with them.
Usually, the girls always left after hearing him shouting that way, but today the steps kept moving forward, he sat immediately because that was not normal, he waited silently until the person finally got closer to him and he was able to recognize his face .
" Acting like an honorable person, I see," Heigl said with a sarcastic smile on his face .
These past days made him know that Heigl's presence next to him was suffocating him more than everyone around him, so he tried to avoid him all the time unless he had a plan or thoughts or ideas that could benefit his plan.
" You should go to sleep, " Yogev said with a terrible look on his face .
"Are you avoiding me? It is not like I care but for the sake of your plans you better not, after we finish the wall, and survive the full moons let's take care of the transportation device"
" Okay, we will" Yogev answered firmly
Heigl sat next to him and started to look at the sky, then he looked at Yogev who was looking at him now very surprised then said:" Quiet if you think that this is too much"
Yogev looked at him deeply in the eyes and then looked away after that while biting his lower lip, he was angry to the point where he wanted to hit him yet he didn't he just laid on the grass and continued to look at the sky
"In the triple full moons let's run away, " Heigl said without any notice
" What ? What are you saying ? " Yogev sat automatically and started to look at him. He was terrified by his mood swings yet this..... this was unexpected.
" What ….what do you mean by this? " Yogev added .
"I can't stay here " Heigl answered briefly, leaving Yogev very confused .
" Why can't you stay here? "
"I hate crowded places, you know me "
Still, this answer was not satisfying Yogev's curiosity so he asked again:'' What happened ? "
" I can't tell you "
" Yeah, like always, I think by now I got used to these kinds of answers, I am so sick of them, and you, I really can't stand being around you after all "
Yogev stood up on his feet forcibly, he felt a bit dizzy because he stood up fast, he waited for a second before he started to walk again, Heigl gave him a cold look then shouted: "Aammm, I hurt you feelings missssy , sorry I was so tough on you "
When Yogev heard what Heigl said he turned around and headed toward him fast and started to hit him, he was older than him, bigger than him, tougher than him, and the fact that he was leaning above him while hitting his weak skinny body made him hate himself, after a few punches he just threw himself on the grown and started to hit his own face.
He punched his face twice for what he did to Heigl, he hated the fact that had to hurt him like that when he should have protected him.
He was never the type to act like that, and having that happening to him for the first time made him hate himself even more .
" What have I done !"
