Axel ran. The moment he exited the central area of the capital, he ran like a madman, with no regard for what was ahead. Or if anyone noticed him. His mind was in shambles, his heart an empty chaos. Her saving him like that, seemingly for no reason, made him feel even worse.
It was not something he could control; his very identity was based on the obsession he felt towards her. The Despair encroaching on him wasn't the worst part. But he himself felt an existential crisis when standing right in front of her, without that intense, obsessive feeling for her.
His figure, like a juggernaut with no defense, smashed through the trees, the large boulders, animals, beasts, any wildlife, or even stronger creatures. All of it was destroyed in his path. It was only when he stood in front of a barren, giant mountain terrain with no visible path forward that he stopped.
Just to let his anger out, he punched the mountain wall.
Bang!!!
