Miko

Miko hated that woman. She was the reason he had lost everything and he hated everything about her for it.

He knew that many people across the five kingdoms, from the southern isles to the northern kingdoms, would die in the coming months! That was how it all was going to start. He knew what Zuldrak wanted, he knew what Hans wanted, and he what he himself wanted, but the question remained the same: Could he actually do it? Could he go through with it? Did he have the strength that this task would require?

"Yes I have!" he thought to himself.

Then he thought back days ago, and he knew he was ready for the things to come. He knew the guards. King Walter had a team of guards standing guard in the throne room and another team to relive their first watch. Miko knew the other team was having dinner right now. This team was not loyal to Hans or his own master or himself, so he knew how it would end for that team: In pain and suffering!

He was ready for this. He was ready to take the revenge he had thought on for so long, but he also knew that his master Zuldrak was interested in her and that she should not be harmed. When the master no longer needed her, Elsa was going to be brought before Miko and he would be ready to inflict on her so much pain that before he killed her, she would have gone insane and unable to use these powers of hers! The twelve people walking behind him were also ready. They were all ready to kill. They carried swords as Miko did, and everyone was loyal to him.

They were ordinary mercenaries, whom he had promised a lot of gold if they wanted to engage in high treason!

They had accepted that offer.

He thought back to the journey he had been on to find the master. Miko had sought the master to ask him for the means of revenge. He had seen with his own eyes his master kill another man, though the master himself was not physically by his side. Miko had traveled to him with a traveling partner who was a brilliant thief, called Anton.

One night, while Miko was fast asleep, Anton walked over to him with a knife and had been ready to cut Miko's throat open when he suddenly turned the blade on himself and stabbed himself several times in the stomach!

Miko woke up to the sound of his screams and he had been terrified of what was happening before his eyes. When life finally left Anton's eyes, he stopped cutting and fell to the ground!

Miko had thought it would have been the end of it all, but before he´s startled eyes, Anton rose again and began to speak with a voice that was not Anton's own: "This pathetic meat bag of a human will no longer disturb you in your travels Miko Come to me! Find me in the mountains where the frost and the wind are the coldest and the ice is the hardest."

Anton's body fell to the ground again!

Miko`s journey lasted over a week. There were several times doing his trip, when he was asking himself if it was worth it, but it was almost as if the wind was leading him to his destination.

It was as if the wind itself was howling to him, "So close now ... don not stop… so close ..."

At the end of his journey up the hillside, he was exhausted, and every little step he took was painful for him to take, but he finally got to the cave entrance to a mountain and he was sure this was his true destination! Gradually, he entered the cave and was surprised to see all the tunnels under the mountain! There were many tunnels so he did not know where to go or how to get out again!

Suddenly, a strong wind came out of nowhere, and he could not stand it when he suddenly heard a voice whisper to him in his head, "Let the wind guide you to me!"

He let the wind guide him to the man he was looking for, but he suddenly became very nervous to meet this devil that this man seemed to be.

The wind led him into another part of the cave, and Miko saw something he would never forget. In the middle of this part of the cave stood a shadow of a man with red eyes. He wondered how it was even possible when shadows cannot exist in the dark, but apparently, this shadow could.

The shadow with the red eyes said, "So you have finally came to Miko."

"Who ... who are you?"

"I am Zuldrak. The winds of fate has drawn you to me. The thing that matters is your quest for revenge right?"

"I want my revenge on Queen Elsa."

"Then you shall have it!"

"I wondered why you are interested in helping me?"

The Shadow said, "I have my reasons for I need Elsa myself, but when I am done with her, I will give her to you, so you can use her as you see fit. Hans, who has tried to murder Elsa, are currently heading back to the southern isles. I will use some of my magic to make sure you reach the isles first! You must help Hans, and as a reward, you get the queen! Do we have a deal?" the Shadow asked when it came closer to Miko.

"Yes, we have ... but I wanted to know..."

The shadow pointed at Miko and suddenly Miko saw white and disappeared from the cave.

He woke up to the smell and the sound of the sea and the screams of the seagulls. He got up and saw that he was wearing one of the southern Isles guard uniforms.

He heard a voice in his head.

It was the shadow Zuldrak with the red eyes that spoke to him: "It cost me a lot of energy, but I have transported you to the southern isles and have given you a guard uniform. I have also increased some of your skills, which you can find useful. Now you must help Hans take over this kingdom!"

The voice went quiet and Miko noticed that he had a sword and two knives as well. He had never been a fighter, but when he grabbed his sword, he swung it as if he had done it all his life, and he was sure that his accuracy in throwing things had also increased!

After talking to Hans about what to do next, he had found the prison guards family and had watched them for some time to get their facial features imprinted in his mind. Then he had gone to a bar and had hired the mercenaries with the promise of gold and diamonds.

The next order was to exterminate all crewmembers on the ship who had brought Hans to the southern isles as a punishment for the violence against Hans. Miko and his crew had gone towards the port towards the ship. The crew on board the ship never stood a chance as Miko and his crew slaughtered every single person, his sword dripping with blood.

The entire crew had tried to resist, but all were now dead. He liked the violence and it was amazing that his mercenaries had been so cheap, but it was just good for him so he did not complain.

Now they had come to the inn, where team two was having dinner. They were in the middle of eating fish and bread. Over in the corner, four people, a man, a woman, a boy and a girl, ate their dinner. Then there was the innkeeper himself.

Team two consisted of six people.

"Six dead people." Miko thought to herself.

One of the guards was eating a fish, but forgot to chew it when he saw them standing at the door armed with swords.

Before anyone could respond, Miko shouted as loudly as he could: "Kill everyone!"

What happened next was chaos.

Miko led the men in the attack, and he swung his sword against a guard who ended up becoming a head shorter than the others.

The men loyal to Miko easily defeated the other guards. Miko knew that this assassination attempt on the royal family had to be kept a secret, no matter what the cost. He stared at the family of four sitting in a circle in the corner. Miko saw the man telling his family to look down at the floor while he placed himself on top of his family.

"Almost like his body would be able to protect them." Miko thought to herself.

With the screaming guards dying behind him, Miko approached the family and lifted his sword high over his head, trusting the sword back down quickly through the father.

The mother screamed, "NOOOO!"

She ended up headless as Miko swung the sword through her throat.

In two quick moves, he killed the children by trusting his sword through their hearts.

"Everyone must die." Hans had whispered into Miko's ears. "All of them! Leave no one alive to tell the tale!"

The kids were dead and Miko turned around and saw that none of his men had died. He could not say the same for the six guards and the innkeeper.

"There is someone up there on the first floor!" cried one of the men.

The inn consisted of the ground floor and the first, and the first floor had only two rooms. Miko went up the stairs and kicked the first door open. No one was in there. He even checked under the bed. He kicked the door up to the other room. In the corner there sat a woman holding her hands up like a shield trying to protect herself.

"PLEASE DO NOT KILL ME! I have not done anything wrong!"

"I thought so," Miko said. "But you will still have to die today."

He walked over to her, grabbed her by the arms, and pulled her up and his heart almost stopped. This woman looked just like his dead wife!

"Do you have a sister?" he asked.

"What does this have to do with anything?"

He hit her so hard that she started bleeding from her mouth.

"DO YOU HAVE A SISTER!?" he yelled at her again.

"Yeah, yeah, I once had ... do not kill me."

"Is her name Anita?"

The woman looked at him in shock.

"Yes, her name is Anita. How do you know?"

"Is your name Nell?"

"Yeah, how ..."

He hit her so hard; she fell to the floor, knocked unconscious. He finally had finally met his wife's sister. Anita had always talked a lot about her and there was no way he would disrespect his wife's memory by killing her beloved sister!

He went downstairs again.

"The bitch is dead!" he said to his men.

"Take the guard uniforms and wash them all clean."

All the guards heads had been cut off to prevent the guard uniforms from being damaged. The king would have been suspicious.

"It is time to move on to the next phase of this plan!" Said miko

"The sooner we are out of here the better the chances of Nell's survival!" He thought to himself. "There is a chance she can make a living. Oh my beautiful wife, what did we ever do to deserve all this? This queen will die for this. I promise you and our daughter that she will die."

He felt a true sense of purpose as he was going to clean this world free from that icy bitch and no one, not even his new master Zuldrak was going to stop him from having his long awaited revenge, and it would be so sweet.

Miko could hardly wait.
