After fighting for so long it seems like i might've forgotten what empathy means, compassion, the need for kinship and the worst of them all LOVE. Love is nothing but a fickle joke reality plays on us giving us feelings we aren't meant to feel then taking it back the first chance it gets, a massive figure thinks to himself standing alone in a large empty hallway illuminated by massive torches hung on the walls. His face masked by an unknown darkness, he is well built and dressed in a fine red royal ceremonial robe and adorning a beautiful golden crown. Thousands of shadowy figures fill the hall their eye's crimson red with blood and hate, flooding the hall dragging it into the abyss. It's like hell's gate has been broken, all of them screaming in agony their voices soaked with strife, stretching their droopy arms trying to reach the man...trying to tear him part...trying to capture his soul....trying to consume his heart. He raises his head and his eyes unleashes a bonechilling killing intent, instantly dissipating the abyss forcing the abyss back shrieking in fear.
His vision flashes and he finds himself in a large throne room everything looking alien to him, a massive throne made out of blades sits ideally at the head of the room, I guess that's supposed to be mine. His vision flashes once more and this time he's sitting on it emanating a manecing aura, like a deity gazing down on his worshippers trying to decide whom he shall grant his grace and whom to condemn.
Blood starts flowing from the foot of his throne, instantly flooding the throne room. He closes his eyes and opens it, the room instantly reverting back to it's original state.
His vision flashes again, but this time he is reminiscing about all the battles he has fought in, all the blood he has spilt for his goals both innocent and those whom deserved it.
" SHI NO YAMI!!!! SHI NO YAMI!!!." his unbeatable army of the darkness bow before him each echoing his name in unison, His six generals at the front. they had only tested defeat once and it was against her.
The mountain of corpse he has accumulated stretching so high it almost looks like the devils artwork standing atop bathing in the agonizing thrill, all the people who have cursed him with their dying breath each more dreadful than the last. I guess this is what death feels like, even the grim reaper is just a pawn to it's own power.
His vision getting blurrier and blurrier the light fading from his eyes, this time someone is calling out to him
" Kai, kai would you hurry. " he sees two boys their faces hidden by a weird light. he looks at his hand at sees it has shrunk to the size of a boy.
" You always make us late you know." The other boy says as he scratches his head.
" Wait up, I'm not as fast as you." He hears himself say, as he races foward his voice filled with expectations.
His vision flashes just as he catches up to them
" Big brother lets get that one, i really want it. " He hears a little girls voice. Looking down he see's a little girl dressed in a little white dress her face also hidden by the light, Holding his hands tightly as if she's scared he might disappear and leave her behind.
More flashes pass by until a beautiful lady smiles at him and everything freezes she holds his hands and points at the lake, he looks at his reflection but his face is still obscured by the darkness. Looking back up he's now dressed in dark armor on his knees blades scattered around the battle field as she slowly walks towards him her blade on his neck, she's omitting a light so righteous it could make the world pause, her wings pushing back the darkness bringing hope to everyone's heart it touches.
" It's Her." He says with a raspy voice.
His vision flashes for the last time but this time all he see's is darkness as he plunges into a dark lake, this is really what death feels like he smiles at himself enjoying it's beautiful cold solitude as it starts to embrace him, pulling him down the endless spiral of the deep black abyss. Who would've thought I'd be granted the blessing of dying so peacefully after all the atrocities i caused.
But the lady grabs him now covered by a beautiful blinding light.
" Not now. " she says. pulling him up.
" You still have alot to do, alot to fix. " She adds.
Everything goes silent. Light and darkness fighting for him, She holds his face and kisses him causing a massive spark, light immediately prevails completely enveloping him. It's even hard to think as he feels his mind slowly fading away. Until a burst of light brings him back to reality.
" It's a boy." someone shouts.
All the figures are blurry and a constant ringing fills his ear, only interrupted by a babies cry. someone should please pick up that child he tries to say but only thoughts propagate, he suddenly realises the cries are coming from him. leaving him utterly shocked and he couldn't stop it.
He's placed softly in a womans warm embrace and suddenly feels at peace with the world, a feeling to good to be true. he barely makes out the figure holding him and a beautiful brown haired woman her smile assuring him that nothing could ever harm him.
" Chiki, your name is chiki. " she says.
A dark haired man bursts into the room, she smiles at him as he races towards her. She gently passes me to him. The amount of joy written on his face can't be describe with mere words, he sits beside her lost of words and she rests on his shoulder " He's our son. " she says. " I know, he looks just like you. I'm jealous. " he remarks. " My gene's are better so that much is expected. " she confidently proclaims. " Don't be so confident, appearance don't mean much i bet he's a fighter just like his dad." he refutes. " I hope not, all you do is destroy things." she smirks and snatches me back. He looks like his soul is about to leave him, becoming as white as a ghost. " That only happened that one time- " " Only once?!. " She cuts him mid sentence eyebrows raised. " Maybe twice- " " Twice?!. " Her gaze threatening to swallow him. " I should probably go and talk to the doctors. "
She drops him in the crib, stretches a little bit then pats his hair." Taking care of you is real hassle, wait here a bit. I need to prepare supper, your dad would soon be back." She smiles then gently says.Immediately exiting the room, tying and adjusting her arpon on the way out.Chiki pushes himself up, barely sitting up resting his back on the cribs's headpanel, sighing internally it's so hard to move in a baby's body, everything is so mushy. Nonetheless i need to check weather i can still use mana. He closes his eyes and enters a meditative state, if my knowledge serves me right then mana exists in everything primarily in the form of the basic elements fire, water, air, lightning and earth they encompass the basics of all there is, should be, would be and could possibly be. All i need to do is first gain awareness of this mana particles. Multiple glowing dust like partilcles float around as if waiting for him to beckon them to come forth, a look of
*********Four months later**********I'm now able to keep my mana awareness active for long periods and have been slowly building up circuits, sure it would've gotten established naturally but that's to long in my point of view.Chiki is calmly meditating in his crib, drawing all the mana particles like a sponge when it meets water, multiple lines in his body light up alternating between red, gray, blue, cyan and brown. He starts sweating profusely and immediately breaks out. He wipes his face with the back of his palm then stands up yawns and stretches out to losen his sleepy muscles.He smiles broadly then thinks the way things are going i might just finish my magic circuit before the year runs out, truly a level of genius only a king no a god like me could display mwahahahahaha(cute evil laugh). he tactifully climbs out of the crib using his little pillow to break his fall.Now to procure a feast worthy of a king, clumsily wobbl
" Says the girl who is scared of the dark." leon scoffs at her." better than being a sissy who hasn't even kissed before." She lashes back.They start bickering, shooting hateful glares at each other." They still haven't stopped i seem." Akina adds awkwardly." They're both still as immature as always." Mina replies indifferently." Oh what of the other-" Akina begins to inquire but is interrupted by the doorbell.*ding dong*" I'll get it." Akina says whilst passing arunah to mina." You sure are heavy." She jockingly teases." Gugaguu...aahgah fa..t(How dare you call me fat)." Chiki struggles to say.She opens the door, this time she's greeted by three(3) women and two babies. The first woman has wavy deep ocean blue hair, nordic eye, long lashes. She's holding a baby boy with snow white hair and skin, chubby cheeks and beautiful nordic eyes. The second has a tawny
Erika is already dozing off her cheeks as red as tomatoes." Looks like she overdid it again." Mina remarks, her cheeks slightly red." I keep telling her how weak she is, compared to me." Leon proclaims, his cheeks equally as red as erika's." I haven't drunk this much in a very long time." Kent remarks." Don't tell my wife." He slowly adds and everyone starts laughing." Seems like everyone is out of it except the iron belly." Alan says whilst laughing" It's true i've never seen you drunk." Leon adds, given hiroto a queer look." Believe me I'm envious of y'all." He adds whilst adjusting his glasses." I remember when we used to get really wasted at the old one eyed tavern and he'll be the one to drag us out." Leon replies whilst gazing into his remaining cup of alcohol, his reflection shimmering from time to time." Or the time you thought you gained alcohol magic." Alan responds clutching his belly and laughi
The memory slowly fades away, bringing them back to reality. Alan stares at his fist." I didn't want it, because i guess i was afraid." Leon confesses." What would could a big oaf like you could possibly be afraid of." Alan jests." Even i'm not sure, but like you said...i should just trust you right?." He smiles then downs his remaining drink." I should take my leave, we still have alot to do tomorrow." He says whilst scratching his head.They both head towards the door, Akina appearing outta nowhere and hugs them both." I'm so proud of both of you, especially you." She hugs her brother once more." I better check up on chiki." She touches alan's cheek before setting off." Well till next time." Alan offers a hand shake." Till next time indeed." Leon firmly takes his hands.Alan finds akina looking at chiki as he sleeps peacefully in his crib. looking even cuter than when he's awake.
*********Two years later**********Chiki is standing alone at the front door, he has grown a bit taller. He is wearing a white short sleeve shirt with brown shorts held up by black suspenders with long socks and brown loafers. His red eyes gleaming beautifully, he yawns then scratches his head, ruining his combed black hair.What's taking this woman so long, He thinks to himself. Like how in hell sakes would your kid get ready before you. He heads towards the couch and throws himself on it, spreading his legs and facing the ceiling. He covers his eyes and slowly smiles.The weird robot comes again carefully observing him with it's deadpan eyes." And how may i be of service to you." He asks without looking at it." Would...you...like...a...drink." it continuously glitches while asking." No I'm good." He replies." Apple...juice...it..is." The robots says." I don't want an apple juice." He says slowly getting annoyed."
" What's the core city." Chiki asks, his face now facing the two women." It is the origin of our kingdom, it is located at the heart of the kingdom, were the king's palace is located. It is also were the six big families main houses is located." Akina replies." It is practically heaven on earth, not that i've personally witnessed it. But the stories going flying around concerning it are always so out of this world if you may." Eimi comments gingerly.The car slowly arrives before a massive piazza filled with buildings off different shapes and sizes with a marvelous statue of a man decorated with various medals at the entrance. They slowly slide their way to it's side were the parking lot seems to be located. It is filled with cars, it took them awhile before she could find an empty packing space to settle in.They all get out of the car and slowly starting their their bodies a bit except shizuru whose expression is still unreadable." it wa
