Chapter 1 - prologue: the fall of the king

When I open my eyes I notice I'm completely disoriented, my vision blurry as I hear a feminine voice as I get my bearings. I see a woman standing in front of me after a while I see my mother in front of me looking worried.

"Are you okay son? you look un-well…

I look at her and i smile shaking my head 

"Its nothing mom i'm just zoning out"

My mom smiles while taking my hand as she walks me out of the room into a beautiful wedding hall with over 1000 people sitting in chairs, mostly women with only two men sitting besides my dad and brother. 

I stand at the front waiting. I stand there for 20 minutes and the guest starts to get restless as I go to ask my mom what is going on. The doors softly open and a figure steps out of the darkness into the light.

A beautiful figure, the puffy white dress hugging her waist perfectly, I smile as she slowly walks towards me, not too fast like she is rushing or too slow like she hesitates. She walks at a perfect pace as she finally stands in front of me.

The priest starts to talk but I don't even hear him, only looking at the woman in front of me. I couldn't see her face but I knew she had to be perfect under the veil. I only zone back when the priest asks.

"Do you take mrs rose as you wife?''

I smile as I say "yes" without any hesitation.

"Do you take Mr Winters as your husband?"

She stands motionless as she quietly says "I do" I smile as I go to lift her veil but then I fall back in pure fear as instead of seeing a face I see a gory mess of mangled flesh and bones.

She crouches down her face showing some kind of worry. I look around and I see everyone in different states of mangled flesh or being torn apart. I start to hyper ventilate as the world starts to twist and deform turning black.

I look around as I see my mom in a pool of blood, my father's arms torn off his body, my brother standing over them with three other people, an older woman, an older man and a younger looking woman.

I try to stand but I Trip as I grit my teeth and mutter the word "why?"

He just looks down at me saying "this is your retribution you trattior"

As my eyes begin to close I start to hear screaming yelling as i open my eyes again i see a bright lights flashing explosions men and women screaming in rage equal men and women curled into balls crying or flat out broken and un-able to even move 

I look at the absolute carnage as I feel dizzy. I look down and my arm is missing only leaving a bleeding stump As I stare down I notice a puddle. I crawl towards it staring at my reflection, barely recognizable, due to the dirty puddle but I can still see the giant gashes bone deep wounds all across my face, half my face burned to a crisp.

My skin was covered in deep scars and blood covered my face, my once long hair now chopped off like it was cut by a hatchet, my eyes are bloodshot, one even missing. 

A sharp pain shoots through my chest. I looked down and I saw a giant horrifying wound that looked black and purple, a type of poison I never saw. 

I touched it gently, opening it to see the damage. When I open it I can see it once down straight to the bones even the bone itself was poisoned. Looking over to one of my fallen female soldiers having convulsions in pain I crawl over to her.

picking her up gently as caress her slowly colding body, her bloody face as reach out to mercy kill her but she grabs my arm.

"P-please I don't want to die…"

I hold her hand as I close her eyes and wind back crushing her head instantly with one punch to end her pain. I gently place her body down. 

I stand up with a limp as I look around seeing a field of dead bodies. I look at my soldiers' cold bodies. 

Out of nowhere, someone comes and stabs me in the arm. I clench my teeth. I swat them away like a fly. Sending him I pick up my red axe that was in the mud and charge back into the fight cutting through multiple people.

Red blood splattering my face, organs and limbs flying around. I feel my body freeze as I fall to my knees from exhaustion.

I look up and I see someone walking towards me with a spear taking down multiple of my soldiers with single strikes.

???: Blake, please stop this, there's no point in this.

When his face gets illuminated by a fire I bite my lip drawing, shaking from anger I swing my axe towards him. He easily dodges me,

After regaining my balance I swung back towards him, he steps out the way 

He kicked me away, gasping for breath. He stands over me with his spear. He looks at me with heartbreak but a cold resolve as he lifts his brain at the justice spear. One of my soldiers throws a rock at him. I immediately pushed him from behind making him unbalanced.

As he trips I grab his leg and throw him into a giant stone as he tries to regain his stance. I appear in front of him as I punch him in the face. I start to beat his head into the stone. All I could see was red.

After a while I stop and I see blood covering his face. I get ready to end him but I stop myself and I let him fall to the floor as I start to walk away but I feel something cut through my skin. It feels like my soul is breaking.

I look back and see a golden dagger in my shoulder as I go to pull it out. My body convulses in unbearable pain like my mind, body and soul are being sheeded as I let go and hear a woman's soft but menacing voice.

"Oblivion you are one difficult person to kill but your done for all this carnage for nothing i would kill you but your felix wants you to live for whatever reason"

Once I saw her face it was Alice the celestial queen, the woman I lied to the reason all of this is happening. Alice looks at the men, the bastard that slumped on the stone, she takes a deep breath.

"The shattered dagger should keep you in check it instantly kills any human but you aren't human any more but it hurts like a the 7 layers of hell its ripping your soul apart so as long as you keep it in you will live"

She laughs to herself.

"Just behave and i will make sure you wont suffer all you have to do is kneel and serve the heavens for the rest of time" 

I smile as i tear out the dagger she looks horrified as she never thought I would pick death over submitting i leap at felix still slumped fast and strong but a utter glass canon the alice jumped in front of felix stabbing her in the heart i fling her away as i stab felix in the neck.

"hehe hahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

I look down at them as i fell my body slowly tear apart from the inside out a black orb shoots from my body as i fell my soul splitting and tearing apart felix and alice bot breath heavy as i see one more person arrive a women with golden hair matty alice's sister she swings at me and i side step her and stab her in the side she falls to her knees as i tear the dagger out.

She falls to the floor as she and Alice curls up against felix i hand the dagger to one of my top generals my most loyal confidant someone i could trust my life with rose i give her the dagger as i command her to hide in the vault she nods as she looks at me ready to cry.

But I push her into a portal and swing my axe and create a portal and I step into it as I feel my power draining as I limp into it. I notice I'm in the hospital as I see a young boy that looks exactly like me but younger.

He opens his eyes and smiles at me making adorable babbling noises reaching his hands out. I gently pick him up as I place a ruby heart necklace around his neck and I infuse the rest of my power into him as I place him down.

I crawl to a corner as I slowly lose my physical I notice a plate under him blake…
