Unsealing The Gate

I feel my connection with Velorina has been cut and I can"t feel anything. I felt like I was floating but I couldn"t move.

"Hey, kid." I heard a voice which I can"t identify if it"s a man or woman, or maybe even both.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"It"s not important. Do you wonder where are you right now?" the strange voice said.

"h.e.l.lo, Not Important, Yes I do wonder where I am right now," I said sarcastically, trying to annoy this b.a.s.t.a.r.d, I asked you a question but you answered me with another question.

"Do you really think you can annoy me?" The strange voice chuckled.

I was confused because I felt that he could read my mind.

"Yes, I can read your mind." The strange voice said confirming my suspicion.

"Then, where am I right now?" I asked, even if this is very weird and suspicious, have I gotten mad?

"You are in the dark abyss." The strange voice.

I didn"t say anything, so I let him explain.

"The Dark Abyss is very mysterious, and it was extremely huge, n.o.body even knows if this had an end." The strange voice said.

I waited for a long time for the strange voice to continue but it went silent so I asked.

"Is that it? Ok, can you please further explain why I am here?" I asked again.

"Is this the afterlife? Then have you seen an old man with a long beard, I had some unfinished business with him"

"Kid, this is not the afterlife but you just died." The voice said making me more confused and more suspicious.

"I just pulled your soul here before you went to the afterlife, so we could talk and I wanted to make a deal with you." He pulled my soul out... Is this death...

"Then what kind of deal?" I asked, but I still had some suspicions about this strange voice.

I can only see darkness, can"t feel anything but I can only hear this strange annoying voice.

"I can make you come back to life." When the voice said this, It gives me hope, He will resurrect me but I still had some suspicions and I don"t trust this guy nevertheless I still asked.

"Then what would I need to give to you?"

"It"s not something you can give, but you must do it, I need you to open something," the strange voice said.

"What is it?"

"You will only know it if you agree to the deal." The strange voice said

"You will not eat my soul or anything like that?" I asked

"No, Definitely not your soul, Do you really think that your soul is worth to devour, I rather eat my own puke than your disgusting soul." The strange voice insulted me. Really, my soul is disgusting? How come my soul is disgusting??

"Why? How come my soul is disgusting?" I asked.

"After what you did in your short life when you are just a month year old, You have torn your mother"s breast when she is breastfeeding you, making her hate you!! When you are three, you killed more than seven maids when they are taking care of you, eating their hearts like candies!! So your father didn"t send any normal maids to take care of you instead he send one of his generals to take care of you.

"When you are 8, your father engaged you to someone, You even promised that you will behave, and play with your fiancee, your father has suspicions, but he lets you."

"When your fiance was alone with you in your room, you tied her up in the bed and slowly tortured her."

"Thank goodness, Your father arrives in your room before you even break her mind completely."

"Your father punished you by taking one of your hearts."

"At least, the other side didn"t declare war with your family but they cut all of the ties between your families."

"But you didn"t even stop torturing people after that. When you just turned 14, you even tortured your siblings and cousins and you even raped some of them." As the strange voice continues to list out everything I have done, I felt the voice is getting amused

"You completely have broken some of them, your father exiled you after what have you done, For you to be still alive even committing all of this is a miracle.

"Then why me?" I asked, completely interested in this b.a.s.t.a.r.d.

The voice went silent after asking the voice.

"Ok, I agreed," I said before he/she changed its mind.

"I just need to open something right, OK that would be easy, so bring me back to the world

"Crazy kid," The Voice said.

Looks like he can really read my mind, after a while

I felt that I was being pulled by something and I lost it.

***

I am sitting in my bed and my body felt so extremely weak, but I don"t feel any pain right now.

I touched my eyes.

Looks like I truly lost my eyesight, even the healers in the castle can"t heal my eyesight.

d.a.m.n THAT VOICE!! IF YOU ARE GOING TO REVIVE AT LEAST COMPLETELY HEAL ME!!! BUT WHAT DID YOU DO!!

MAYBE YOU REVIVED ME BUT MY BODY IS THOROUGHLY F*CKED! I only had one remeaning heart and I can"t even see! HOW I AM SUPPOSED TO FIND IT!! Do you really expect a blind kid to search for something! cursing a thousand times inside my head, after a few minutes I manage to calm down.

Let"s just not think of that, at least I am alive for now.

Looks like I can"t see those despaired faces anymore, how am I supposed to continue torturing people?

"I don"t like being blind," I muttered under my breath.

"I HATE THIS!!!" I ROARED!!

AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! GIVE ME BACK MY EYESIGHT!!!!! I WILL DEFINITELY KILL YOU OLD MAN!!!!

He"s been cursing the old man for a while not realizing that he had already killed the poor old man.

****

I felt my body floating, Where am I? Did I die already?

I opened my eyes but I only saw darkness.

"What is this place?" I muttered.

I tried to look for something and I saw a light in the distance.

"Hey!"

I successfully floated towards the light and I saw it was a girl sleeping peacefully with beautiful shining white hair.

Her clothes were very beautiful and shiny, and they complemented her cuteness.

"Hey little girl," She was curled like a ball, and sleeping peacefully.

I saw her face suddenly became sorrowful like she was having a terrifying nightmare, and she was shivering.

So I reached out towards her, shaking her to wake her up.

"Little girl, wake up," I called out to her.

The girl"s eyelid twitched and she slowly opened her eyes.

It shocked me when I saw her marvelous eyes.

I saw thousands of stars swirling around.

She suddenly reaches out her hand towards my cheeks.

When her hand touches my cheek.

I was in a daze.

I felt it, those bitter emotions. Loneliness, helplessness, and sadness.

I heard a voice inside my head.

"Please save them." An angelic voice inside my head.

I slowly reached out my hand, clasping her hands, I softly said to her.

"I can"t," I said.

The girl was shocked when she heard I answered and her face suddenly turned desperate.

She gripped my hand tightly and said

"Please." She said, and tears slowly drip from her eyes.

I put away her tears.

"I can"t do it alone," I said and smiled, We are alike, we both wanted to save our world, both of us failed. I saw through her memories when we both touched each other.

"Let"s save them together."

Three figures are standing in front of a tombstone.

The tombstone says.

"The Lighting Snake of Esnad"

"Grandfather, don"t worry we will deliver justice, I swear with my life!" Lenuc swore. You can"t clearly see if he is crying or not, but you can hear his voice hoa.r.s.e.

Azen was emotionless after looking at the grave as he walked out.

Merl was beside Lenuc.

He glanced towards Azen.

"This boy probably didn"t even care towards his own grandfather," Merl Thought

"This boy is hopeless.." Merl can just sigh inwardly.

****

A young man with a half burnt black hat in his hand.

The young man"s looks are pretty average but his eyes are very unique when you look deeply into his eyes. His gaze is deep like an abyss.

He is pretty much good, lean muscle and tall. His long black hair is tied up and has a couple of strands of hair that were being dropped in his face.

Currently, he is walking through a crowded street, where you could see many vendors trying to sell their products.

The crowd is bustling and lively.

"This place is pretty much bustling, especially in this unique city, the city"s history is very long and inspiring," the young man thought.

"It"s been a long time since I last came here. We meet again, Cranta City, or should I say Cranta Fortress." He muttered under his breath,

"The last time I came here was when I just joined the army, I even remembered that when grandfather brings me here to join the army, his words are all been fresh inside my head." Thinking this making him clench his fist hard.

Flashback******

"War? Why do you think we are going to war?" The old man asked me while we were riding a horse towards

"For the country and its people, for honor and peace of the country," he answered after thinking for a while.

"You know, that was the exact thought when I first joined the army." The Duke smiled.

"But you know, for me right now, war is stupidity, demoralization, selfishness, meanness, intoxication, brutality and indifference," the old man said in a calm voice.

"Then why do you still partic.i.p.ate in wars?" he asked the Duke.

There was a long silence before the Duke answered.

"There is no such peace, but eternal interest."

Flashback Ends***

"No true peace but eternal interest." Thinking this put a smile on his face and he suddenly remembered his Father.

"Father doesn"t really understand me, even though I am his son." He thought to make his feeling complicated.

"I don"t really care about wealth, honor, nation, women or other such things."

"I am breathing but I am not living. The Heart has always been dull and lonely, there"s no reason to live or to die for."

"But now it is different, at least I had a reason to die for."

"My Revenge."

When he reaches in front of a certain building, he looks up and sees a name, Entering the room, he saw it was bustling with people

"Mercenary a.s.sociation."

He steadily walks towards the registrar,

"h.e.l.lo, how may I help you?" A young male registrar greeted him.

"I want to be a mercenary," he emotionlessly said.

"Ok sir, please fill up this form." The registrar professionally said and he gives a piece of paper and quill pen.

He calmly took the paper and quill pen. He then started up filling up the form. After a while, he gave it back to the registrar.

The registrar read the form and he opened the drawer in front of him and he took a booklet and he gave it to him.

"Threl, Welcome to the Mercenary a.s.sociation."

*****

Two figures are walking in an empty street, the one in black is following the other one.

"Big Bro, This place," Lenuc was looking around the dead empty street, this place became like a ghost town.

"Lenuc, Willsden city was just stricken by tragedy and I expect this place will recover in a few years or even a decade."

"After the ma.s.sacre, almost half of the population dropped and we are not even counting the people who left Willsden City."

"So rehabilitation of this place will be very difficult." His brother explained it to him

"but brother..." before Lenuc continues his sentence he has been cut by Azen.

"Lenuc, you cannot save all those around you, if you want them to grow into a person, you must let them cross this tragedy." Azen said to his brother.

Lenuc stops walking and just looks into his brother"s back

"Brother, what if they didn"t grow into a person but instead they grow into something else."

Azen just keep walking and their distance is getting further away from each other.

"Why would I care about them? If only they did get in my way, I shall eliminate all of them." Azen emotionlessly said.

When Azen said this, Lenuc went into deep thought...

"Is this really what you think..." Feeling very complicated, when he thought about his brother.

"We are identical but we are very different to each other, I am your twin brother but since birth, I can"t truly understand you."

An old man in white robes is kneeling in front of a black throne, looking in the ground, he didn"t dare to look directly to the one who is sitting in the throne

"My King, The seal of the gate is weakening," The old man solemnly said.

"I already know that, Do you still have any report to said?" The king asks.

"A suitable vessel was found, your majesty," The old man said

"then who it might be?" The king calmly asked.

"Grandson of the former Duke of Willsden, Lenuc Cregnory." The old man said,

"Oh, Interesting... then you know already know what do with our precious vessel, using the gate"s power, Esnad shall rise from the ashes and conquer the world."
