Chapter 109 [Bonus ] The Leader's Breakdown
There was nothing in the world that could make Yogev's headrest at ease after that massacre, district 2 lost a lot of people in that attack after they thought that they survived the triple full moons.
Most of the mages were not in a state to even consider future plans, and Yogev was hesitant about leading them to war right now when they are not in their senses.
Felix and his people started to help the mages from district 2, they gathered all the dead ones and made them in lines to organize them .
Burying them was a huge dilemma, Felix told them that they should be buried in their district when a few mages from district 2 who didn't have any loss said that they should be buried here .
Returning to district 2 was no longer an option after this huge loss.
Yogev didn't know what to do, he couldn't even approach his people so he stayed far from them all by himself while leaning toward a huge tree trying to collect his thoughts.
He never imagined that being in charge of people's destiny would be that messed up until he had that huge slap in his face.
He was not a natural-born leader, people loved him and respected him and that is why they chose him to represent them, and when it came to hard decisions he basically sacrificed his people while trying to do what was in his mind from the beginning.
Even when he was hit by the reality he only wanted to do that, he wanted to overcome Chris and win him in a fight .
It was not like he was not caring about the dead ones but he wanted revenge more than anything.
" Are you planning to stay away like that in a hard time like this ? " Heigl asked when he reached him in the middle of people's confusion.
Yogev was so drawn into his thought that he couldn't notice that his people were already decided to choose whether they bury their dead ones here or in their district.
" Save this breakdown for later, now you have to stand on your feet and be present, it is in these kinds of times people shine, who would remember a person that stood with him in happy times?, we only remember people who stood with us in hardships"
Yogev was still looking at the void behind Heigl's back, it was like he was putting his voice in the background and Heigl hated that so much.
Yogev has that aura around him that made Heigl want him to be the leader, he had the ability to listen to him when was just a kid suggesting to them that they were safe in the middle of the triple full moons.
Another person would have ignored what he said or at least made fun of him before that, but he didn't, and instead he just listened and tested his theory.
" You have to stand on your feet and go meet your people" Heigl sat to him again with persistante tone this time .
Heigl was looking at the mess around him, and he knew that the crowds needed their leader or the chaos will start on their side.
" Mister Yogev, you should stand on your feet , now !" He repeated .
And this time Heigl just looked around him while he was speaking to Yogev, so he noticed Felix looking at them with curiosity .
Heigl couldn't just trust a man like Felix, a man like him was essential in his plan to make more allies but not in times where their leader was struggling to lead them properly.
He knew that look inside of his eyes, he knew that something was up and that's why he shouted at Yogev like never before while saying:" You better stand on your feet now, or you will jeopardize all you wanted to do "
at that moment Yogev looked Heigl in the eyes for the first time since he came to talk to him.
" You are right, it is not the time to have a mental breakdown," Yogev said with determination written all over his face .
" Yeah, that is true mister Yogev" Heigl agreed .historical
"It is time to fuc**** those bastards life like they did to ours, sorry kid but what you are saying right now is for cowards, we will take revenge on them all before we decide where to bury them, i want all the dead people to know what we did for them" Yogev explained .
Heigl knew that who was talking to him was not the same person, he was under trauma and blinded by anger, he was not thinking properly and for a second he wanted to slap him in the face .
" It is not the right time to act recklessly, we can't have more people dead on our side, it is a risk that we can't afford, our people are weak emotionally and mentally, and thinking of using them in this state is not fair, " Heigl said intensely .
Yogev raised his hand then pointed at Felix who was looking at them a moment after another while trying to hide it then said :" But he won't wait for them to be in their right minds, he is already hovering around them, see for yourself Heigl, he is already trying to join the forces together to lead them"
Heigl stood in front of Yogev's index trying to hide it from Felix then said:" When a person is in rage he can't think properly and eventually he will lose every fight he goes into"
" They are driven by rage, they will do whatever they could to kill the bastards of district 1" Yogev replied to him while his eyes were still focused on Felix's eyes .
' Shiii****t , i messed up , the man is crazy now, i wonder if i should just leave him there, now he is going to cause a mess and eventually cause us more damage than we already got' Heigl thought while he was looking at Yogev that started to walk back to where all the people left from his district were sitting .
" It is war ...it is war ...stand on your feet my people.."
