Saint
There was a bang and then I was there in the abandoned building crying for help. My head hurts a lot and all I could hear was a baby's wail. I stopped calling after sometime and the baby must have shut its tramp too at some point as I didn't hear it anymore. I tried to move but I couldn't no matter how I fucking tried though. I was tired, my consciousness was slipping, and I groped for anything. Something told me I was gonna die just like this.
I didn't die.
After sometime I heard footsteps approaching the building. A handsome slender middle aged man with slick black hair and styled mustache walked in. They must have drugged me as the man appeared as large as a giant as he hovered above the bed I lay. "Well well," he drawled. "The boy's mine after all. Resfiya is your fault, you really shakened me."
"Curse you Jack you bastard!" A woman screamed from outside. Thunder cackled in the air and I realized it was raining. That wasn't what was in my mind though. I was frozen with fear as the man stooped down and carried me as if I was a baby. This was something else, I decided reluctantly, I'll be damned if there's any drug that could mess up my head this much.
"What's all the curses for huh?" The guy asked indifferently. "Your child still lives....."
"Ah! Curse you lackey, let me go,"
"Ah Charles, let her go,"
A woman stormed into the room. She was wearing a red night dress, bare feet, her long red hair loose. The guy handed me to her. She hesitated as she stared into my eyes before taking me. "He was not a quiet one," she said with an odd accent. "You changed him so Highvoid."
"Better for him I did," the man sneered. "The tongue takes one to grave faster than the sword woman. His fortune he might live long." Then he stormed out of the room leaving me and the woman behind.
"Your fortune he might die," the woman muttered hugging me closer to her warmth. My consciousness started slipping away again. But those names rang a familiarity in my mind. Jack Highvoid lord of Chyralis one of the the six domains of Crystalis, Resfiya Nerge daughter of Eyi the leader of the Nooks and Jack's second wife. Charles Word is Jack's steward. Trouble was they are all fictional characters. Jack Highvoid is the main villain of a mediocre novel called the Eyes of Aliye.
A novel about Rea Firelock a common girl with exceptional abilities that found herself as the only person that could save the world by finding the eyes of Aliye, the name of the world, in secret places.
If these people were fictional characters what does that make me? A very imaginative person or a reincarnated person?
I found out the next day. I was reborn as Saint Highvoid, the son Jack Highvoid was supposed to kill. In the story Jack had condemned Saint to a whole night in the temple of Gores but Jack had reconsidered and went down to the temple before morning only to see his only son dead.
Resfiya had grown mad in her grief and tried to destroy Jack only for him to kill her. That was the back story of the Highvoid's. Jack Highvoid had later discovered he had a daughter though, but that's a story for another day. For now just my reincarnation has changed many things. For one what does Resfiya being alive means? And another why was I reincarnated? Was it random and coincidental? Or was this the plan of an omnipotent being? If so what do they strive to archive?
I guess I have to survive to find out for the noble houses of Crystalis are deadly places.
