Book of Bantorra ~Chapter 1~ Part 1

「Colio Tonies」

Someone called out to him from the darkness.

Colio Tonies raised his head, but could not see anything. He raised his cheek that laid closely against the stone ground,

Colio felt immense pain coming from his chest. Everytime he breathed, his chest would echo as if the wind blew by. His mouth felt dry, even a slight movement of the tongue led to something falling inside of his mouth. He felt oddly in pain but he took no notice towards any of this.

Colio wanted to wipe away the saliva lingering on his face but could not do so, His wrist was tied together with a slimy and moist rope, both of his hands was situated underneath his body, not even one finger could freely move about.

    「Colio Tonie, what are humans?」

Suddenly a man’s voice echoed, though  no silhouette appeared. Lying beside Colio was an old Gramophone, on top of it was a spinning bronze disc. It seemed like the sound came from the gramophone’s trumpet.。

Colio answered:

    「Humans, are the God’s favoured children, they are also the ones who combine the light of Heaven and Earth. Using love as boundary, and freedom as periphery, the Gods used their lifetime weaving the tapestry of happiness.」

Colio could never understand what he was talking about anymore, but he could not stop himself either.

                It seemed as if he had not eaten since yesterday’s lunch. His memories were fuzzy, rendering him unable to recall whether he had eaten or not.

   His tied wrists was painful. His skin had swollen due to his sweat,even the inflammation of his flesh had began to discharge purulent exudate.

His fingers felt nothing, he didn’t even know if they were still attach to his hands.

    「Continue, Colio Tonies.」

「Wounded humans are to be saved;

 Sffering humans are to be rescued;

Forsaken humans are to be loved。」

「Why?」

「All humans are born into this world for the sake of  attaining happiness,  for the sake of being  loved.」

「I ask once again, what are humans?」

「Beings with the right to gain all the happiness the world may offer. Beings that love, be loved, experience fulfilment, never suffering, and live in utmost bliss in their entire lives.」

「Very good.」

Coilio continued to talk to the gramophone.

   This conversation was already long decided. Nothing but the decided content was to be conversed about. Nothing but the decided content was to be thought about. Colio’s existance worth o more than the gramophone.

「Then let me ask you this, Colio Tonies. Why do you dothat  which you do??」

「Because Colio Tonies is not human.」

「Then what is Colio Tonies?」

「Colio Tonies is a bomb。」

「Colio Tonies is a bomb?」

「Colio Tonies is a bomb。」

Colio Tonies suddenly realised someone was watching him. At some point in time, a man had opened the door to  the room that could contain two people and had walked in.

Colio felt a sharp pain emanating from his right calf. The man was stomping on Colio’s leg. His leg was crushed against the stony floor, his bones rattled in pain.

Just when he thought his calf was about to be rip apart from his knee, his was kicked. Colio’s body rolled about the floor like a pencil, leaning on his side, Colio helplessly raised his head.

Unknowingly, the gramophone had stopped talking, the man now replacing the gramaphone asked a question.

    「Colio Tonies. What are you?」

「Colio Tonies is a bomb.」

The man seemed satisfied with COlio’s answer.

    「Perfect answer。」

As soon as the man finished, the room lit up. Temporarily blinded by the light Colio moaned in pain.

    「Looks like its done。」

The man had said so. What was done? Colio did not paid no heed towards it, His body was in pain and exhaustion. He didn’t want to think, nor did he want to sense anything around him.

「Colio Tonies, Let me tell you the reason of your existence.」

The man told Colio who was ying on the cold stony floor:

「Your birth is for  the sake of killing Hamyuts Meseta. Repeat after me, Colio Tonies.」

Though exhausted, Colio followed the man’s order. Who is Hamyuts MEseta? Why does she need to be killed? How can she be killed? Although there was a pile of things he did not understand, he did not further question them.

   「The birth of Colio Tonies  is for  the sake of killing Hamyuts Meseta。」

The man beside Colio said:

「Repeat again.」

「For  the sake of killing Hamyuts Meseta.」

「Again.」

「For  the sake of killing Hamyuts Meseta.」

「To kill Hamyuts Meseta。」

「To kill Hamyuts Meseta。」

The rope binding Colio’s wrist suddenly came undone, His flesh that was exposed to the surrounding air made him feel painful, causing hm to cringe his eyebrows.

    「Kill Hamyuts Meseta。」

「Kill Hamyuts Meseta。」

Colio slowly stood up.

「Kill Hamyuts Meseta。」

「Kill Hamyuts Meseta。」

Colio muttered. The gramophone had already stopped talking, the man had already keft, nobody was talking to Colio.

「Kill Hamyuts Meseta。」
