Welcome everyone. This will be my first story to simply have the lead character's name as the title. Hopefully it is a good read. Enjoy and review.
Father
Melyk had built the bathhouse not out of an obsession for hygiene but rather because it gave him a new way to kill people. By boiling people alive he could kill people in a way that could cause much screaming. Staring at the boiled body of his father, he could only think of how long he had waited for this. He had done much to get rid of all in his way and now he was almost there.
Never had millennia of inbreeding caused more deformity amongst the High Warlord's family than with Melyk's own father. His father was like any other Labinnac of the High Warlord's family had a resemblance to the Devilry Lord whom others called Mumm-Ra but Melyk's father had been left with eyes half the size of his head, extra toes, webbed fingers, scales, a third eye, lame in his right leg and had a constantly protruding tongue but even with these he was considered plain by Labinnac standards instead of ugly… At least to everyone except Melyk!
It was all this inbreeding to keep the Devilry Lord's bloodline pure that had resulted in this monstrosity. Deformity wasn't even the single problem it caused… Mental problems, temper problems, fertility problems, stillbirths… This inbreeding had to be put an end to.
The fact that it was always brother and sister was something that caused Melyk to pause greatly. It had always been brother and sister every marriage in this family had been between brother and sister. Something had to be done before their bloodline ended up being as feeble as the lesser Labinnac.
Keeping it with the family was a good idea but having the marriages be strictly brother and sister would only continue what was going on. Perhaps having it be third cousins twice removed would be better but if it would do anything to stop the deformities, stillbirths and various other problems was something Melyk had no way of knowing.
Still whether he had no way of knowing or did have a way of knowing, Melyk was intent on bringing change to how things were. He was the only one willing to not turn a blind eye to what was going on amongst the family of the High Warlord and by that he meant the inbreeding, the constant plotting against one another he was perfectly fine with.
Melyk would put an end to the problems the inbreeding would cause, he would conquer the world outside of the Savage Area and he would crush the Evabon once and for all!
