Soulless shell chapter 3
A new life
Leif continued to follow Karas out of the village then they followed the forest path then the went slightly west off the path and continued for a few miles until they reached a cave they followed him through the cave then they went up through a passage that went up and out he found himself back out in the sun as he looked forward he saw a large tower surrounded by a vast village suddenly karas spoke.
Welcome my lord to vacadoris!
Leif looked up to see the village gate open slightly as he entered the village grew deathly silent as he walked through the streets many people bowed respectively to him and many young girls giggled at the sight of him but still bowed.
Ummm why are they doing this doing this karas.
Simple my lord they know whom their master is.
But that's not what I want Leif thought to himself.
Come now my lord we have very much to do today.
All right karas let us go to uhhh where are we going?
Do you see that tower in the middle of the village my lord?
Yes I do karas.
Well my lord that is where you will rule from and learn of how you are the crimson king.
Alright karas lets go.
As they walked into the large tower like castle and walked into a large circle room where a large rat stood ah welcome my lord he bowed my name is thrnos he bowed.
Oh please sir don't bow to me I don't deserve it.
Ohhh but you do my king (in his mind he so dearly wished he could sneer at him) but enough about that we have much to do and soo little time.
Sir what are we doing exactly.
We are completely proving that you are the crimson king my liege.
How do we do that?
You know for some one so young you sure do ask a lot of questions Leif tell me what race were your parents.
My mother was a mouse and my father was a rat which you brutally killed Leif said emotionless.
Ahh but for a good reason they lied about your lineage and I believe you can do much more for your people lord now go with karas your first test is to begin.
Come with me young master karas obediently told Leif.
Okay karas.
As karas and Leif walked away he sneered oh don't worry my lord in a few years you will belong to me hahahahaha!
Okay my lord the first test is if you can defeat normal warriors we must go to the arena to do this follow me young master.
As they entered the gates they slammed behind him surprisingly Leif did not flinch when this happened okay send in the challengers.
Leif could see that all of them were at least 20 seasons above him he took the sword which karas handed him he watched as karas nimbly jumped up into the seats begin!!
The rats rushed at him as Leif raised his blade the first one got to him without thinking he brutally slashed the rat to pieces then the next rat rushed at him Leif nimbly jumped over his head and sung his blade downwards as he watched the rat slice in half the last one came at him he teleported much to karas surprise and slashed him in the back as he fell to the ground karas jumped down to meet him very good job young master well done now to the final test.
What will this test consist of karas.
We will try to find the crimson kings eye on your body.
The what !!??
It is the eye that proves that you are the crimson king it is hidden on your body some where now come he sat Leif down on a chair as he spoke to him okay young master try to relax.
Leif did as he was bade when karas opened his paw and a bright light went over his body then suddenly a large eye appeared on his neck with a bloody pupil and three spikes adorned the lid I guess you are the crimson king young master.
What exactly is a crimson king sir?
A crimson king is a war leader and a god a life source and a great power the crimson king is the one who is supposed to give the land to our kind.
Hmmm that sounds like you are basically talking about taking over innocent lives he spoke without an expression on his face and enslaving people and trying to use me as a puppet oh I don't think you are friend karas I think that is the intentions of our friend trhnos.
Hmm karas thought this child is more resourceful then I thought and he harbors my hatred for trhnos.
Come now young master we must now go back to trhnos as they walked back in the circle room trhnos greeted them ahh karas is Leif our king?
Yes my lord he is very well now Leif I am sending you to live with a good friend of mine aveena come in please.
Aveena was a beautiful young fox she of course was taken in by the goraiathans when she was found beat up by the shore because of her injures she was told she would never be able to bear children which was what she wanted more than anything else in the world.
You will stay with her for a few weeks until I think you are ready now take him to his new home Aveena.
Yes thrnos she said obediently.
Come Leif she said with a cheerful smile.
As Leif walked into Aveena's home he looked arouned it was sparsely furnished umm miss Aveena.
Yes Leif
why did they have to kill my parents Leif asked.
Aveena felt her heart ache at this statement I do not know Leif.
(for many days Aveena and Leif spent time together they became closer)
Umm he asked one day embarrassed would you mind being my mother?
She did not see that coming why would you want that im basically nothing much I don't have much either.
I don't care you are the only person here who has treated me like a person and not a king and a lord and god and all of that other confusing stuff.
Okay she said with a smile on her face I can do that she smiled as he walked up to her and hugged her.
I wanna go to bed now momma.
Her heart felt warm when he called her that okay as he walked in there are no other beds so I guess you will have to sleep with me.
Okay momma he jumped on to the bed and lay there she got in as well and he moved closer and hugged her good night he said.
Good night as she fell to sleep she wondered how thrnos would take this.
