I awoke in what appeared to be a castle. It looked very high class, suits of armor along the walls, expensive paintings, everything you would expect in an average castle. I could tell I wasn't in a normal castle though. I couldn't move, I was bound by energy. I felt the dread then, I was in hell. My torture for my life of killing was to be bound forever. It was then that I felt the strange presence again. I was saved, Iris was here. Gades walked out from around the corner. "Hello Dekar", he said with a happy tone. It scared me beyond anything had ever scared me before. Those two words made the dread worsen.
"What do you want with me. Why am I here?" I asked, using a huge amount of energy just to talk.
"I'm surprised you can even talk, bound with the power of four Sinistrals. You are a strong one. I can see why Arek chose you. He knew you would sacrifice yourself for the good of the group, the question was when. I didn't believe him, but he was right. Stupid humans, giving up their lives for others. I can't believe you would do something so stupid. But it's fine now, your stuck here, and Maxim's bloodline will soon cease to exist," he replied, laughing with his final sentence.
"Arek? Bloodline? What are you talking about? Why am I here?"
"You're here to help destroy the bloodline. You must kill Jeros!"
"Jeros, he's an innocent infant. What has he done to you? To anyone? I wont kill him, I refuse your offer, just kill me and let me free."
"Kill you? I wouldn't give you the pleasure. You will be bound here until you give in."
"But why couldn't you just kill Jeros, he's only an infant. He cant even hold a sword yet?"
"He is the bloodline of Maxim. He is under incredibly powerful spells. We cannot even enter the dwelling in which Maxim lives. Ever since Idura first stole Jeros they have had incredibly powerful spells covering the house, but you wont be affected. We need you! Arek foresees our deaths at the hands of the dual blade, but we will return, and only Maxim's bloodline will be able to stop us. If that ends, we will be immortal," he said, walking out of the room and leaving me to ponder his request.
