Chapter 2: The Day After
This would be only short. And everything placed here would only be a day after the events.
The long chapters would be after this chapter.
The priest Azrael fell into the grassy ground. He is still alive but he is unconscious.
The twin walked towards the priest. He looked at the unconscious body of the priest with such killing intent. Then, he shoved out a knife from the cloak.
"Goodbye, my brother."
He is striking to the back of priest when he felt a strong seizure take over his senses. He coughed out blood. It was black.
"You are lucky this time."
The man ran towards the wall and jumped high enough to pass through the high wall.
The next day…
News about the death of the king and the prince began to spread. Only a few merchants remained on their stalls to sell their wares. Most of the people went to the sanctuary to visit the body of the king. He was a splendid king after all.
The prince however, didn't receive any recognition. People call him the 'spoiled brat,' 'devil's child,' and so.
In the dormitories of the sanctuary, the priest Azrael remained silent in his room. Shocking events occurred one after another.
Why was the king killed? Who was the killer? Why did it all happen?
The second question is easy to answer. The killer is no wonder but his twin brother Samael, but why would he be here? How could he be here? When did he became an assassin?
"Wait, isn't he supposed to be dead?"
The assassin made his way towards a hut in the middle of the woods in Mt. Mjolnir.
He fell into his knees and hands when he saw a sky blue haired alchemist leaning casually on the wooden wall of the hut.
"You used the pills and the poison to their extent, I'm surprised you are still alive," the alchemist mocked as he looked at the assassin with his dull green eyes.
"Like I have a choice!" the assassin retorted.
"My, my, you can still shout even in your current state Samael? I wouldn't do that if I were you," the alchemist gave a smug face at the assassin who coughed out blood.
"Just do it!" the assassin gritted his teeth as he fell to his side.
The alchemist went to his side and placed a pill on top of his lips. The assassin swallowed it. Relief filled the assassin.
"Good thing you are my partner, Anthony," the assassin smirked as the alchemist grinned.
"You'd better be grateful that I am your partner."
That night…
Azrael decided to stroll around Prontera. The sanctuary is filled with tension and is still packed with people inside it. The priest sighed.
The night sky looked dark as clouds covered the stars. The capital is deserted. Everyone is either sleeping, or is visiting the late king. Everything else seemed quiet as the priest walked around Prontera. Once in a while, he gets to see patrolling guards.
As he made his way back to the sanctuary, he saw an alchemist, oddly enough; there is something mysterious about the alchemist.
The alchemist didn't notice the priest. The alchemist has bushy brownish black hair that reached his neck. He is wearing a boy's cap and is pulling his cart full of potions.
The alchemist stopped walking, Azrael stopped. The alchemist turned and looked at him. Azrael could feel something is wrong with the guy in front of him.
"Would you tell me where the way to Geffen is?" the alchemist asked. Azrael blinked.
"Turn right and head towards the East Gate, there should be a kafra there that would charge 1,200z from you."
"Thanks," the alchemist turned right and waved at Azrael as he become no more but a silhouette.
"There should be something weird with that alchemist, I wonder," thought Azrael as he walked again to his destination.
"Must be my imagination," he thought as he entered the sanctuary.
Inside the sanctuary, people are mourning for the late king; Azrael looked at them and wondered why they would stay that late just to mourn for the late king.
"He was the king after all," he concluded with his thoughts as he entered the dormitory.
In the lounge, a bard sat there, he is unconsciously stroking the strings of his mandolin. As Azrael pass by the bard, a strange feeling overwhelmed the priest. He turned and looked at the bard. The bard merely continued his stroking of the strings.
Knowing that looking at the bard would be just a mere waste of time, the priest shrugged and headed upstairs and went to his room.
