The Fate of the First Hero of Light

The Royal Guards are outside of House Dominitus engaging the houses inhabitants in combat.

After much battling the Royal Guards managed to break through the fortification of the House.

The Fire Mage and myself move with speed, towards the entrance.

The Fire Mage is an exceptional warrior.

But I would not be outdone.

"I am going to work from the top downwards! Let us 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 House wielding my broadsword, decapitating the House members when possible. Otherwise I thrust through the face or chest, if that is 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, the smell of burnt flesh.

The Fire Mage has killed at least 10 people.

As I cut the people down, I see faces and remember past memories.

The hiding places I used to use.

Faces I know, that was my cousin, it is my uncle, the steward and many more.

I am aiming for the head.

Lord 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 doors...

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.

The doors fly 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.

Lord 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.

Suddenly I feel weak.

"GEIR DO NOT FALTER!" Lord 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 and slide. I am 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 the Lord says.

"Come sit here let me look at you." I can see his eyes are starting to lose life.

"Here Geir I want you to have something." he gives me a medallion.

"Geir rebuild House Dominitus..." The Lord speaks many things to me, I feel something has changed inside of me.

I help him sit in his Great Chair, the Lord 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 the absolute worst!

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.

Micheal steps out the other side.

I am dead there is no way I can defeat them both, I stop sliding and jump backwards.

"CLAURILLES IS THAT YOU?" asks Micheal.

"Is my Father dead?"

I nod.

"The twins?"

I nod again.

"How much do you want to suffer?"

Estronix starts walking slowly towards me, he withdraws his rapier.

"FIRE MAGE WHERE ARE YOU? I NEED HELP!"

"WE ARE NOT COMRADES I DO NOT HAVE TO HELP!"

"THESE ARE THE LORD'S ELDEST SONS IF WE DO NOT FIGHT, THEY WILL KILL US"

"DO NOT MAKE YOUR PROBLEMS MINE!"

Micheal 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 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 towards it. I see the 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 House are chasing the inhabitants upwards.

As 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 mother's 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 starting to shine.

I had heard later that the Fire Mage had collapsed, the Knight had arrived to rescue him.

The authorities appeared. They were busy arresting the House members, who had surrendered.

I had followed people with swords and battled them at the back of the House.

I think maybe they were fleeing, I look at the morning 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?

Turning towards the screams I see it in their eyes, terror, they are scared of me.

They want to hide, even when bound by the police.

I see a bloody Micheal I go to speak.

The authorities 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 final words of Lord Anaxtus.

I lie.

I see Michael understand, I leave.

Forgive me Lord Anaxtus, I cannot rule two tribes.

I reach the front of the Houses entrance.

The Queen is there she is speaking to someone else.

I am standing in front of her, my broadsword is in my right hand, I clench it tightly it wants to escape my grasp, 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 are falling, she collapses, I want to comfort her.

The Knight moves and stops 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 felt 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 House 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 and smell sulphur.

Suddenly he passes out.

After much procrastinations.

I greet my Grandmother where I saw her last.

My parents had been arrested.

My 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.
