Part 1
The Dark Prince
~Past~
Watching the water flow back and forth along the edges of the shore, the young boy picked up a pebble he found and flicked it onto the water. Half expecting the pebble to skip on the surface, he watched as it dropped into the water beneath the folds of the smooth surface and created ripples stronger than that of the small waves disturbing the shore. Sighing at his failure, he strolled back nonchalantly to the castle. He walked on for what seemed like hours to find out that he was lost. He had not noticed that he had entered a town and seemingly was able to evade the townspeople as they walked past. He stopped and looked at where the sun would have been. Instead, it was not where he would have expected it to be. There was only a rain of light along the most visible parts of the place. At that moment, a twinge of cold and frozen fear arose in him. The sun granted him warmth despite the coldness he felt at that very moment. He looked around for help, but there were barely any people on the scene and all had no courage or time to ask the young boy if he needed help fearing the penalties of a single wrong word to the superior child. Darkness crept into the corners of the buildings around him and reached towards every spot of light left visibly to the eye. A cold touch crawled up from his toes to his head, making him bow to the coolness of the darkness that invaded the land of day. Feeling the loneliness and despair within him, he dropped to the ground and curled up to warm himself of the chill around and inside of him. A flicker of light dashed pass him, causing him to look up and see nothing, but the light swaying of trees.
~Present~
"L-lord Luca?" the soldier spoke.
The dark haired man in armor sat unmoving in his seat. He slowly opened his eyes and raised his head slightly from his hands to peer at the soldier who had spoken to him.
"...."
Fear pinched at the soldier's mouth, but he had to report to Luca.
He looks like he's in a bad mood. He's not laughing maniacally like usual...the other person in the room besides the soldier and Luca thought to himself.
"Uh-um...Sir?...Lord Lu-Luca, I-I-I've come t-to re-report a-" the soldier began.
"Speak up!" Luca shouted in a dangerously seducing tone.
"Um-I-I-" the soldier stammered.
Luca was starting to get impatient. Maybe if he could just slice and dice this fool... but then, he might have some information of interest that could stop his boredom and finally get to kill some more pigs.
"Well?" Luca said smoothly.
The soldier finally caught his wits and his fear and managed to make his report so he could leave without getting killed by Luca Blight, "S-sire! I have a report that the City-State and Highland has made a truce!"
That stupid cow...Luca thought, how dare he... after what he did... he still acts like an animal... on how to survive... what a fool...
Luca scoffed, "So... that old geezer made a pact with the losers of the City-State did he?... Ha... This is my chance to counter..."
"S-sire?" the soldier questioned.
"Solon Jhee!" Luca called.
A man with black, spiky hair and grayish clothing stepped from the shadows.
"What is it that you wish Lord Luca?" Solon Jhee asked.
Luca sat back in his chair.
"...What is the name of that group in Highland that consists of children?" Luca said thoughtfully, but evil.
"My lord, it is called the Unicorn Brigade," Solon Jhee answered.
"Really now? And the name of the person who leads it?"
Solon Jhee sighed, "His name is Rowd, I think, milord."
"Really? Solon Jhee, I want you to set up a meeting for this man to come and meet me," the armored man smirked sinisterly.
Meet with Rowd? Solon Jhee thought, the captain in charge of a bunch of kids?
Luca interrupted his thoughts, "But then again, you might not like the idea of setting up a tea party with this Rowd. You there! Soldier! Go and bring this Rowd to me, but make sure no one knows that I want to meet him and keep his mouth shut!"
"A-as y-you wish s-sire!" the soldier exclaimed, relieved that he would not get killed.
He rushed out quickly. Luca stood up and picked up a cup of wine beside him.
"Might I be so bold as to ask sire, but... why would you want to meet with this man?" Solon Jhee asked.
"It's very easy my simple-minded friend. If I meet up with this man and grant him what he desires then he will fall to my feet and follow me like a dog follows his master," answered the insane man.
"Sire?"
"Solon Jhee, man has evils within him. If you unleash it into the world... there would be lovely, delicious darkness... and if you can control that darkness, it would bring about the demise of all the pigs in this world, every single one of them DEAD!" Luca grinned madly.
Just watching that man grin made Solon Jhee shiver.
~Past~
"Mother, where is this place?" the ebony haired boy asked her.
"My son, we're in-" she started.
"Sire! Sire!" a voice from outside the entourage shouted.
"What? Is something wrong?" Agares, the king, shouted back.
"There's a group of ruffians coming this way!" the driver shouted.
Agares exclaimed, "What?! Ruffians!?"
"Yes, and they seem to want to-gah!" the voice died off.
Suddenly, there were sounds of shouts and swords clashing.
"Agares, what-" his wife began, but she was cut off by one of the guards.
"Sire! We must flee!" the guard told him.
Without a second thought, Agares opened the door and jumped out with his family following. He took a horse that the guard gave him. Several other guards came and handed the reins of an extra horse to the queen and her son, but then, an arrow pierced through his back.
"Mommy!" Luca screamed at the sudden event that took place.
Agares had taken off with a few of his guards alongside with him.
"Daddy! Where are you going?!" Luca shouted, but his father was too far away to hear.
The sword clashing stopped, but the ruffians who attacked the entourage emerged as the victors and came towards the queen, her son and the few guards who stood around them to protect them. Luca clung unto his mother's dress and buried his head into it as the battle between the attackers and the few guards commenced. He couldn't bear to see the outcome of this battle and his mother held him tight with the same fear he had.
When the battle ended, he heard one word from his mother that shook definite fear into the depths of his inner being, "No..."
~Present~
"The Unicorn Brigade?" the man called Rowd almost choked.
Luca leaned back in his chair, it felt comfortable as if to tell him that things would turn his way soon.
"Bu-but my rank and my job! Surely you-" the captain sputtered.
"But what if I offered you a more comfortable job with a more... grander pay and respect?" Luca sneered.
The look on his face brought chills to Rowd, but still, a higher rank would give a higher pay and he had his sister to take care of and he needed the money to buy her medicine for her illness.
Luca smiled at himself. His plan was working. The idiot was falling for his ploy and was quite expressive in how he felt. The stupid look on Rowd's face made him lose his cool, sort of.
Sis! I'm going to save you for sure and you'll get better! Rowd thought happily in his head.
Rowd laughed out loud, "I'll do it! I'll do it Lord Luca! I'll make sure it goes as you plan!"
The side of Luca's mouth twitched into a half grin.
"Excellent. Be sure to let the "City-State ambush you" then we'll have this beautiful war soon," Luca told him.
"Sure, sure!" the captain grinned.
"Good, now begone from my presence!" the dark man ordered him.
Rowd bowed, "As you wish, my benevolent prince."
Rowd left while two people appeared from the shadows watching Rowd leave. One had red hair and a red outfit, the other was Culgan. The one in red combed his red hair back with his hand and turned his gaze to Luca.
"You don't mean to let this fool be a member of one of your official squadrons do you?" the red one asked.
Annoyed, Luca replied, "Don't question me when you already heard me say it Seed."
"Yes, but still... Do you have to resort to such... measures? This Unicorn Brigade is only filled with children," Seed said in return.
Culgan agreed, "Yes. I don't think anyone so young should be eliminated just to start a war between the City-State and your father, the king of Highland."
Luca gave them a piercing glare.
"Are you questioning my methods?" Luca said coolly, but forcefully scary.
Both of them were silent.
"Good... Still, sacrifices must be made to achieve. To go beyond would be to slaughter the whole filthy world!" the prince smirked sinisterly.
What have we gotten ourselves into?.. both Seed and Culgan thought.
Well? Whaddya think? This is my first attempt at Suikoden and from a future sadistic bad guy point of view. I got all my info from watching my sister and brother play the game plus I got most of my other info from Suikosource.com. Make sure to visit that place for the best Suikoden info! Anyways, please write a review for me. Thank you!
