The Fate of the First Hero of Light

The Royal Guards are outside of House Domintus engaging the houses inhabitants in combat. After much battling we have managed to break through the fortification of the castle.

The Fire Mage is an exceptional warrior. But I would not be outdone. "I going to work from the top downwards! Let see who wins?" "You talk tough for a little snot but sure. What are we betting?" "You decide !" I say. I am speeding through the castle decapitating when possible. Otherwise I thrust through the face or chest. If not possible I slice massive deep cuts or amputate arms and legs. Severe Injuries that do not kill immediately will be fatal if left untreated . I hear screams, I smell burnt meat. The Fire Mage has killed at least 10 people . As I kill. I see faces and remember past memories. See hiding places I used to use .That was my cousin , it's my uncle , the steward and many more.

I am aiming for the head. Anaxtus Dominitus the head of House Dominitus. My Grandfather's elder brother. I enter the hallway leading to his head office. I run and jump and land on the marble floor and start sliding . Just before I reach the great door. I bend my knees and using all the momentum my little frame and the weight of the broadsword can muster. I slide into it and kick the door open. I see the Dionoxus twins. I decapitate Noxel immediately and stab Lexon in the stomach he wants to grab the blade . I pull the blade through his side cutting it open and almost all his fingers off.

Instantly I see a mighty figure try and grab me. I jump on the wall and into a corner. It is the Head of House Dominitus .The mighty Lord Anaxtus Dominitus a mountain of a man. Anaxtus holds Lexon, I can see he is giving him his final farewell. I can still see the kindness. That he always showed towards me. I suddenly feel weak. "GEIR DO NOT FALTER!" Anaxtus booms. "How do you know my name Lord Dominitus?" "I know every Dominitus. Geir. We think differently. Still you carry the principles of a Dominitus. The house might die, but you will live!" I move instinctively. He moves to crush my head. I drop on my hip I slide. I'm behind him I hit a piece of furniture. I put all my strength into my legs and push away from the couch. My blade pierces him in the back. It is in almost completely to the hilt. The Lord is an exceptionally large man. It did not kill him!

"Geir I am dead. The wound is fatal remove the sword." I do as he says "Come sit here let me look at you" I can see his eyes are starting to lose life. "Here I want you to have something" he gives me a medallion. "Geir rebuild the house Dominitus"...he speaks many things I feel something has changed inside me. I help him sit in his Great Chair he closes his eyes. I leave the room and respectfully close the doors.

It is as if I still remember that voice that shouted to me."GEIR DO NOT FALTER!"I understand Lord Anaxtus. "Protect Lord Dominitus!" I see Estonix the Lord's eldest son! This is really bad! Automatically I start running. I have my blade on my back. I am going to fake a slice then jump down the stairs. He is a master swordsman. In a real battle I have no chance. Michael steps out the other side. I'm dead, there is no way I can defeat them. I stop sliding and jump back. "CLAURILLES IS THAT YOU?" asks Michael "Is my father dead?" I nod "and the twins?" I nod again.

"How much do you want to suffer?" Estronix starts walking slowly towards me. He draws his rapier. "FIRE MAGE WHERE ARE YOU? I NEED HELP!" "WE'RE NOT COMRADES I DON'T HAVE TO HELP!""THESE ARE THE LORDS ELDEST SONS IF WE DONT FIGHT KILL US" "DONT MAKE YOUR PROBLEMS MINE!" Michael gets a wicked smile "So you even aligned yourself with the enemy. I was going to be merciful." Suddenly I stand up and start laughing. "Has the fear driven you insane?" "No, I just remembered Princess Teela is my Grandmother."

"What does tha..." I cut off Estonix legs and break one of Michaels in a single swing. Left to right cutting Estonix's legs first and changing grip hitting Michael with flat side of the blade on his knee cracking it. I look at Michael "Open your hands." "Why?" "Do it or die!" he opens them I drop the medallion. He looks. Tears form I kick him in the side of the head. He passes out. I run down the stairs. I glare at a bleeding Estonix. I hope a brick falls on his head.

The flames underneath the castle are chasing the inhabitants upwards. I am running down the halls. Looking for anyone that could still, be able to wield a weapon. Some cower and some hide. When facing death you can determine the true character of a person. I realize this, as I am cutting them down. My mothers brother. He always loved my terrible jokes. I hope in my heart that he does not turn around. Maybe he will not recognize me in my parka! Our eyes meet . He smiles. I cut off his head.

Life is cruel. Queen Zelda I hope you learn this.

The sun is coming up.

I had heard later that The Fire Mage had collapsed. But the Knight had arrived to rescue him. The authorities had appeared. They were busy arresting the family members, who had surrendered. I had followed people with swords and battled them at the back of the castle . I think maybe they were fleeing. I look at the sun. What is the Dark Elf doing? I walk towards the front through the expansive gardens.

I hear the people scream. Is it such an ordeal to be arrested? I look it is fear. They are scared of me. They want to hide, even when bound by the police. I see Michael I go to speak. The police move to stop me. The sight of the blood dripping down from my parka scares them. I speak words to Michael. I tell him the words of Lord Dominitus. I lie. I see Michael understand . I leave. Forgive me Lord Anaxtus I cannot rule two clans.

I reach the front of the castles entrance. The Queen is there . She is speaking to someone else . I stand in front of her . My broadsword is in my right hand , I feel completely wet and warm. She turns and sees me. I can see her heart break. She raises her hands to her mouth "Geir...no...is...that...you" Yes Queen Zelda" tears fall, she collapses, I want to comfort her. The Knight moves to stop me "Geir it will only worsen matters."

I look at the Knight "When you are not screaming like a fool. You are quite considerate!" even though the Queen is crying. I feel as if she smiled for just a moment. I walk a little while the Queen cannot hear us "Fire Mage I won!" "WHAT DID YOU SAY YOU LITTLE SNOT!"You only fought them in the castle I went outside at the back too. I heard them say the Knight had to rescue you!" He' is getting so angry at me. I feel crackling in the air. He passes out.

After much procrastinations. I greet my Grandmother where I saw her last. My parents had been arrested .Grandmother was sitting on an ice lounge in the middle of the street."Geir how was the battle?" I lift my fist. "Congratulations!" she claps her hands and smiles.

This is the worst!

I AM IN JAIL!

Finish.
