I sit on the sea shore hearing the waves roll back and forth as I gaze up at the breathtaking starry night.
Then I hear footsteps I quickly drew my sword ready to fight but the person I saw, was on my side. It was general ling the person next in line to be king.
I quickly putted away my sword and saluted not wanting to get my pay cut or worse get arrested
General Ling then asked "what makes you salute like that it's not like I'm better or more important than you we were all created equals."
He sat down next to me and pulled out a piece of bread and broke it in half and offered it to me not wanting to be rude I graciously took it "Thank you sir but with all do respect you are better then me. Before this useless war I had nothing I was living on the streets starving. While with you even without the war your still the 1st prince of the black steel empire, next in line to be king! It an honor your even talking to me."
General Ling then said "Alright soldier I don't want to hear your life story and I certainly don't want you singing my praises hurry up and head to bed"
I stand up and leave to the barracks
~time skip 3 days battle of the bloody mountains
As far as the eye can see there's blood and I'll admit I caused majority of it, "this may be the worse battle yet." I say to myself there was no guilt in my voice. then I see a familiar body, I rush over to the body to see general Ling bleeding out. I helped him perch up on a rock.
He then said "Sargent Haiyashi I wanted to give you this before I go" after this he handed me a piece of paper as he threw up blood
I looked at the paper it said "Sargent haiyashi is allowed to be promoted to high general and is to be next in line to the thrown of the black steel empire." At the bottom I saw it the crest of general ling the person next in line to be the emperor.
I accept his gift with no emotions on my face and my selfish, emotionless golden eyes piercing his soul.
General ling smiled as he gave me his crest and when it touched my hand it sank into my skin like a tattoo I felt like I was evolving from a human to something more superior
He then said "I know what your about to ask. Why, why did I choose you" he then spit up some blood "I was planning on doing this a while back before the battle of Armageddon"
~ flashback before the battle of Armageddon at the medical barracks
You could hear a random voice " Sir this is unbelievable this normal Sargent I think his name is Nagumo haiyashi contracted X disease a disease that only is contracted by the royal blood and its supposed to give whoever contracts it power beyond the mortal realm."
General ling spoke "well if that's the case then It's protocol to-" he was cut off by a loud bang on the door
"Sir sorry to interrupt but we're being attacked by the enemy we sent out a small platoon to slow them down this consisting of Sargent Haruno, Sargent Po, Sargent Yohan and Sargent haiyashi being lead by commander Mo-"
General Ling interrupted "NAGUMO HAIYASHI!"
The soldier straightened up and yelled "Yes sir we sent out Sargent Haiyashi since he was done with his examinations Sir." After this sweat dropped off his chin.
I was running through the enemy army with one blade in my hand and behind me is a trail of bloody bodies I was vastly approaching the commander in the back of the army every step I take another body falls to the ground dead. If you were looking at me you wouldn't be able to make out my silky white hair. All you could have saw if you were those men was My intimidating but emotionless golden eyes then of course you would've died.
When I finally made it to the leader I had viciously killed a third of the entire army and the other platoon soldiers took down a third by themselves then another third ran upon seeing all the dead bodies even the commanders body guards turned tail and ran away. I walked up to him calmly seeing his body shuddering he tried to run but he tripped. He looked at me his brown eyes shaking with fear he tried mutter please don't kill me but I sliced off his head viscously before he had the chance to finish it blood sprayed out like a fountain. then I held up his head to the other platoon members indicating we won.
Later our army stepped out ready to eliminate the enemies army but all they saw were bodies on the floor and a sea of blood and someone standing on the army commander's head looking up in to the sky the mysterious man was soaked with blood that was definitely not his own.
General Ling pulled aside the commander of our platoon and said "Report!"
Our commander said "y-yes sir, it was a massacre, me and the other soldiers killed one third of the army while that strange teenage boy killed a third of the army by himself including their commander it was Armageddon I tell you. then another third of the army ran away and right now they are being hunted by the other platoon members. But all in accounting sir the only reason we won was because of that boy."
After this it started to rain and the blood washed off the boy and sunk into the desolate ash covered ground. With the boy now cleaned everyone could see it was Haiyashi because of his blinding white hair that only shined more Because of the rain.
After all the blood was off me and my sword I looked around to see everyone gawking at me. I then began to walk past everyone to get inside I muttered something as I passed the general "I need to get inside before I catch a cold it would be smart if you do the same."
~flashback end
After hearing what General Ling had to say I noticed foot steps approaching very slowly I took note that the footsteps were emotionless an empty like mine. I looked up to see the most beautiful girl to ever walk the earth she had white hair that looked as silky as a spider web it resembled mine but at the same time it didn't and empty sky blue eyes. She gazed at me her blue eyes piercing mine then turned away and shook her head as if to wipe away any embarrassing distractions then pulled out her sword filling the pleasant air around us with malicious killer intent.
She then said in a dead emotionless voice that sounds nothing like mine but also so similar to mine "it's a shame you have to die too but you should've been on our side the sterling empire's side." She rushes towards us.
I pick up general Ling and started to run. General ling started to speak "I guess I should tell you about what the crest does. you see you contracted the x disease a disease that only royals like myself can get. It's supposed to give you power beyond this world but humans can't draw out all the power without a crest so think of it as a amplifier for your power. But right now your crest is weak to get a stronger crest you need to defeat someone with a crest stronger than yours." He puked up more blood than said "now go and defeat her." After that the color in his eyes faded indicating he was dead.
After that I stopped and to my surprise so did the young Maiden I put general ling on the ground the threw his sword right next to him it sank into the ground. I turned around and drew my sword and ran toward her my new crest activated.
We lock swords, not wanting to jump away I pulled a short sword from off my side and sliced her, she dodged but it scraped her cheek. After this I charged her both of us equally matched every time I cut her she cut me. We locked swords again but this time I jumped back knowing the same trick wouldn't fool her twice but when I jumped back she charged forward intending to finish our battle now, but I wasn't done yet. I flipped in mid air dodging the attack aimed for my chest then while finishing my flip I kicked the sword out of her hand and it landed in the ground behind me I put my sword to her neck but before I could say anything people came intended to protect her they then said "How dare you intend to hurt the princess of the sterling empire don't you know she's next in line to be queen!" I then noticed her crest.
Knowing I couldn't win I put away my sword turned around picked up her sword then threw it at her she caught it and I began to walk away but before I left I said something, "Nagumo Haiyashi first in line to the throne of the Black Steel empire." I showed my blood red crest to verify myself.
She understood and said "Asuna Hitoshi first in line to the throne of the sterling empire." And she showed her crest. After this I left...
