Fire, fire everywhere, I throw off my covers and run to the door, pushing against it with my shoulder. A scream was heard, as the door gave loose as I ran down the stairs, seeing the horror, bandits attacked my home, one stabbing my mother though the chest and my father lying on the ground unmoving. I ran into the basement into hiding.
The night passes as I lay there scared, then the fire dies out I crawl out to see the damage. my parents summer home is ruined, burned to the ground, crawling out calling out.
"Mom!... Dad!"
No reply...
I awoke in broken sweat, its been 16 years since that event, a creaking noise breaks the sound of silence, looking to the left I stare at a skeleton in a dress and wig.
"Sorry mother, did I disturb you?"
It opens its mouth and makes no noise, then shakes its head.
I stood up and took mothers hand into my own, then walked to our target destination, the corrupt Capital Highland, I activated the scroll that's attached to mothers Humorous giving her a true image of my mother, I gently kiss her cheek as we approached the town.
"State your business!" the guards demanded
"We are here to find a place to sleep, we have money if you want, as payment to enter." I take my coin pouch and toss it to the guard
The guard catches the money and smiles "All right but if you break a law then you will be executed."
"Understood." I walked as they opened the gates, I head to the center of town, pulling a key, setting it into a lock turning it then pushes the door open, revealing the castle gardens stepping in with mother taking the key as I close the door.
"This seems like a nice place." I lead mother to the center of the gardens. we begin our Ritual dance. A splendid dance for those corrupted, a simple spell, for those who shed my family blood. Screams echoed as our dance ended, proving that the spell had taken effect, as each man, woman, child, and pet, burned, their souls being dragged into the depths of hell,
"Splendid dance mother." A light clapping began, then a light warmhearted voice calls out.
"Well done Zeth! Well done! I could have done a better job myself yet, I wonder." Seth revealed himself, or an illusion of himself at the very least.
"Well dear Seth, did you enjoy causing stigmas and system shocks to those left alive?" I reply with a laugh, knowing how many lived through my dance, and how many he took care off. "So Seth, when do the other two plan on showing up?"
"We will arrive at the castle gate in three minutes." Seth calmly replied. "Though I wish you didn't kill everyone you jackass."
"you scared of the dead? Those who are immune to your illusion." I smile playfully.
