“Time’s up, you two. Make your decision or die within my vision,” King George cackles at the top of its lungs.

“Point your swords at him then. A loser like him doesn’t deserve to live. Only winners are worth existing in this world, ” Tommy avouches.

“Well well well, isn’t him your best buddy? “ King George provokes Tommy with sarcasm.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAP7cbBjkzXo
“He was, but not anymore,” Tommy replies.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAkF7Q761lAL
Tommy winks at Isaac so as to send signals to him. All are well received by him within moments.

“Off you go then, you are freed. Don’t ever come back again, Boomer. Guards, let’s finish it ourselves.”King George commands.

Watching Tommy slowly fades into the horizon, they commence the murder of Isaac.
134Please respect copyright.PENANACVDSrIO2Kj
But did Tommy really go off without Isaac? Did Tommy really abandon him like that? Was Tommy just paying lip service when he said the phrase ‘sworn buddies’ ? Well, my unwavering trust in you believes that you’ve got the answer. Indeed, you’ve got the right one.

“Bet he can’t see me now, lemme start carrying out the plan,” Tommy mutters as it nimbly lands its paws on the trunk of a tree. With a swish and swoosh, it reaches the canopies.

Its fur transforms into silky black as it dashes through the woods. Stripes begin to cross all over its body. Gleaming red, monstrous horns stand their place still on Tommy’s head. Pointy thorns poke out its front paws as well as its shoulders. Not to mention there’s also one in front of its chest, piercing through the red handkerchief. The very end of its left thigh’s hock is circled by a thorn collar dipped in bright red. To all your utter surprise, Tommy camouflages perfectly with the surroundings.

Meanwhile, at King George’s place, five armed soldiers are sharpening their blades. Those swords they possess could slice a piece of steel into two with ease. They are coming upon Isaac when all of a sudden, Tommy springs up from nowhere and descends to the ground. It opens its eerie red eyes. The blinding light emitted from the mark on its thigh is causing the soldiers immense eyestrain.

“What on Earth is happening here? How come you’re still here when you are supposed to be leaving the Cursed Kingdom?” One of the soldiers gasps in disbelief, then faints to the ground.

“That’s what you called a traitor,” Tommy mocks the soldier.

“Sorry for arriving late, hope you are still doing fine, Isaac,” Tommy apologizes as it carries Isaac on its back.

“That’s kinda sick, bro,” Isaac cries out as he cuddles Tommy on its neck, “thanks for coming back for me.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAz6rAu6LGdb
“Don’t mention it, pal,” Tommy says, “just hold on tight.”

Things go wrong when you think that Tommy and Isaac could ace them. And you might have probably guessed it right—the soldiers start to wake up from unconsciousness. The double whammy here is, not only do they outnumber the two, but they are also armed.

The soldiers march towards them, each with a shield and a sword held in their muscular fists. They learn the lesson this time, syncing with one another, they aim at the two. Well not exactly, they only dash toward Tommy, the best who is claimed to be out of its mind.
The tip of the blade pierces through Tommy for the first time, and just when it’s about to stand up, another comes. It struggles at its best to at least sink its teeth into their arms, but they block it with their multi-hued shields. Paints chip off from them though. There’s even barely time for Tommy to groan in pain and roar his defiance into the still air. Battled and bruised, Tommy’s limbs could no longer bear its weight.

“Get up, Isaac is still there waiting for you,” Tommy’s mind echoes.

For a second it succeeds, then its legs tremble and wobble, turning into jellies again. The soldiers then tie Tommy up with shimmering iron chains, which are said to be unbreakable within the Kingdom.

“How dare you betray your own kingdom? This is simply unforgivable even considering the fact that you were my all-time favorite soldier long ago. You are toast now,” King George scowls. It seems that the behavior of defending Isaac has triggered resentment in it.

“ Isaac, please, I beg you with my heart, leave this place at once,” Tommy nudges Isaac with the tip of his nose.

“What about you? I won’t be leaving unless you’re coming with me. I’ve already lost my brother. I can’t lose you two in a row,” he cries with tears rolling down all his cheeks.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAppqB5UpjnD
“But we’ll both die here if you don’t leave.”
134Please respect copyright.PENANA6DP60sHoNR
“But..we’ve sworn that we’ll be protecting each other till the very end…even if we are risking our lives,” he argues back.
“Man, just forget about it and leave at once!”
134Please respect copyright.PENANAVYZ9pAU09g
But Isaac refuses to take any action.

“Well, you asked for this,” Tommy says as it wiggles its fluffy tail. As soon as it wags its tail, a cyclone is stirred. Yet, it only goes for Isaac.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAwvaZJyktoj
Well, what could you say about these two? Tommy does love Isaac and it’s the same for Isaac too. But Tommy has converted its love for Isaac into action. As the saying goes, action speaks louder than words. And it always does.
134Please respect copyright.PENANAI0or3c98XP
“Live for me, Isaac. That’s my only and last wish,” Tommy snivels, not knowing if Isaac has actually heard it.
