The doors burst open suddenly. The great King Alexzander grasped his hilt tightly. He had been ready for this. Ahrimaek Daineppa. Murderer of many of his kingdom. He breathed in and out slowly, staring straight into where this foe would soon enter. And he did.
“King Alexzander of the common
nations, son of King Jaccorricus of Aurevitia, son of King Atlennarus
of Aurevitia, direct decendent of Aurevitius and Arrus himself! I
have been waiting so keenly to meet you, even for a second time.”
he said this scornfully unlike many others, with a self-satisfied
leer on his vile face.
“As have I Ahrimaek, although
I have to say making your acquaintance is much less than that of
pleasant matters...”
the bloody scoundrel laughed.
“Typical.
The Great Alexzander, uniter of the nations, some say has come from
the very sun it's self. How noble of you, such a polite manner to
address someone as terrible as me.”
“What
do you want,
Ahrimaek?” he said this strongly, he wouldn't be a coward now. This
made the beast chuckle. No matter how long you strive to eliminate
them, there is always a beast.
“I
said what do you want? You have slaughtered many of my people,
collected a rebellion against my rule, once invaded the castles of me
and my dear brother Damian, caused our families such suffering, so,
do me a favor for once. Tell me, why are you here.” his chuckle
turned into a laugh now. A sickening laughter.
“Why
how adorable! Why you are no more than a child, one who couldn't even
dress himself I can well assume, and yet you- you think you're really
something, don't you, O great Alexzander?”
his mocking voice.
“Just
get to the point.” he had more to say than that in his mind...
“well,
for one I just wanted to see just who this “Great King” was and
how he was doing. I see you havn't ordered your whole royal army to
kill me right now, and you trust me not to be stupid enough to try to
kill you. I know how agile your guards are and that you have more
than a few mere years skill yourself!”
“Interesting
speaking, but that still doesn’t answer my question: Why are you
here?” his smirk got even a bit larger at this point, as he began
to speak.
“I
also know that you hold some anger with me, my king, for all of my
actions.” That cleaver fox, he was thinking up something in that
thick hideous skull.
“Yes,
I believe that matter is more than recognized by now.” He stopped
for a while, took a sharp breath and inquisitively looked up.
“I've
been wondering, have you ever felt the wet touch of blood on your
hands, my King?”
“Yes.”
“The
blood of another's?” why was this foul beast smiling?
“Yes,
interesting you may mention that. I have. Although not usually in the
cold, sanguinary ways that you have, many times before. I have in
rather sorrowful ways, that you may have never expirienced the likes
of before, and probably never will. One event comes to mind: the
death of my father!” his grin widened...
“Tell
me more about that. Remind me please?”
“I
think you would know very well, your side striking the blow! He was
stabbed in the war that united the Common Nations, in The Battle of
Day-Night, wounded very badly! He died a few hours later, weakened by
loss of blood! I was there, unlike you, so I would remember!” he
couldn't keep his temper uncharacteristically, not with this murderer
lingering around asking him such questions!
“Oh,
how so very sad, you don't have to get so cross, although I was a
little more involved than you might think!” What? What did that
mean? The bastard looked as if he were struggling to hold back tears-
of laughter! No one would act in such a matter concerning his
father's death! All he could say was simple.
“What?”
Ahrimaek started chuckling, developing into a roaring laughter.
“Alexander,
my king, I was the one
who held the sword, who acted the motion, I was the one who killed
your father!”
“WHAT?!?”
He couldn't believe this! How dare he? How could he? Soon his
thoughts no longer took the form of mere words, the rational King
melted away. The sound of pure rage roared through his ears. He had
never felt such pure hatred in his life. Not even for Tajahas. He
couldn't think, only to clench his fist tight around the hilt of his
sword, the sword that should of killed this cowardly man long ago,
the one he decided wasn't worth the effort, he spared. He
was well worth the effort.
“RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!”
“Ah,
the roar of a little King. Fight Alexzander, Fight!” after that, he
didn't control his blade, his actions, it happened automatically. He
didn't remember most of what exactly happened. He swung his prized
sword, the one his father the king before him bestowed so proudly
upon him, wildly. Ahrimaek put up a good fight but he was soon pinned
to the wall.
“Now,
Ahrimaek, you bloody murderer, YOU MUST DIE!” he plunged his sword
deep into the savage's heart. His father's killer would no longer
live to brag about it. The murderer dropped to the floor like a
broken, old, forgotten doll. With his last breath he opened his
accursed mouth and said with a strained voice:
“Down
with the king.”
Alexzander
looked down at his hands, breathing heavily. Now he had done
something he forgot to realize until now and would never forget the
sight of.
He had
blood on his hands.
