(At the Entrance of the Royal Palace)
"You there halt!" Just a simple shout and it alerted the other guards in the vicinity to look my way. Hmm, this could be an interesting way to start off my boring evening. I decided to stay where I was to amuse the "Royal Guards of the Gate" with an arrogant tilt of my head. Some of the guards drew out their weapons in response, but I made no moves to intimidate them just yet. I would eventually have my fun in enjoyment of stepping over their dead bodies.
"And what pray tell can I do for you gentlemen?" I responded with an innocent and harmless look.Oh well, as best as I can pull off. I'm considered a foreigner to them after all.
"These grounds are off-limits to commoners, so I will ask that you simply move to the main gate and return to your home for the evening." The leader of the group somehow managed to keep a firm but friendly tone towards me, thinking nothing of why I'm here other than to glance at my face furtively. Good, at least he's charmed by me and knew how to appreciate. I'm handsome anyway and I'm not being conceited. It's the honest truth.
I lifted a hand and pushed back my nicely brushed hair from obscuring my eyes. Either I need to cut it off or I need to buy some hairclips. Hmm, I wondered if there were any star-shaped ones available? Opps. I have too much things distracting me and I nearly forgot to answer back politely. Oh my, now the pack leader was staring at my face so intently that I believed it was an outrage on my modesty. Wait a minute, he's asking me whether I wanna go out with him tonight after work. How do I knew that? Becuase he's blinking both his eyes rapidly and sending MCM at me. Which also simply stand for Morse Code Messages. I'm flattered but, "I refuse," I simply stated, and was pleased that only the leader shifted uncomfortably in my presence. The others have stated strong hints of packing punches on me. Tch... What a violent bunch that my sister kept as her guard dogs.
"If you refuse, I will be forced to escort you with force if necessary," the pack leader replied, and there was a noticeable hardness in the gruff man's voice. Now, he's trying to coerce me in submission to him by force. Hmm, much as I would love to 'play and wrap him around my little finger', but it's too bad that he's not my type and also he would be the first to die. And there's no innuendo I'm implying in the previous statement.
"You may think you can, but I assure you that the most you all will do is fall to the ground in a heap," I drawled my statement out in a manner like a commander would said to a troubled troop of green soldiers. "Your skills are nothing but a waste of time for me, and I am here on very personal business with your Empress anyway." It's true in a sense anyway, so why should I even bother to explain more. Besides, I do need to keep off that pack leader from transforming into a bothering, aggressive, would-be stalker who decided to start 'skirt-chasing' after me. It's not an experience I would want to encounter again; it's very irritating and that's all. Don't read into it too much.
While the word was only whispered by the gathering of troops around him, I knew that they were coming to the assumption that I was an assassin meant to kill their most revered Empress. I would not say that was false, but it was not true either. More and more of the guards began to silently forming a circle formation around me to prevent my escape. They were locked in the defense position with their weapons pointing at me. Such a splendid way of welcome, but that's all they really do. No one dared to make a single movement as they were waiting at the beck and call of their pack leader.
However, I'm getting bored with all these pleasantries. In a split second, I blasted off the leader's head. Before the leader's carcass even fall to the ground, I moved quickly onwards to my next target standing nearby. I effortlessly break the neck with my bare hand and threw him onto his fellow guards. There was a sudden shout of alarm as the world came back to rights and the 'filths' realized my full intentions. I simply raised my hand in the air and discharged a strong blast of sound waves within the midst of surrounding fools.
Ahhh... I had to close my eyes against the pleasant onslaught of painful screams that was so brilliantly paired with sounds and smells associated with being mutilated to death by my sound waves. I slowly opened my eyes, feeling my blood sang with great feverish passion over the piles of dismembered bodies around. The sweet aroma of death and blood greet my sensitive and delicate nose.
Along the way, I easily leave a trail of death and destruction behind me. Nothing can really compare with the beautiful sound of warm blood being spilled and splattering against the ground and the walls. For some unknown reasons, it enticed me in a strange and calming way like lullaby music. I slowly take my time in walking towards my destination so as to enjoy the beauty and art of slaughtering these humans. Ohhh, this sweet music of the night was such a perfect start.
The leader of the Royal Guards having received earlier reports of the intruder formed three lines of defense around their Empress and Abel as I reached the main hall of the royal palace without any scratches on myself. Of course, my snow white uniform had no traces of blood and any damage at all. I need to be immaculately clean and presentable at all times for my first good impression.
(At the New Human Empire, in the royal palace's main hall.)
Both Abel and Seth watched warily at me, knowing that I was up to no good as I spoke my prepared speech. I gracefully made my way toward my siblings, stopping 3 feet away from the first line of the Royal Guards defenses.
Looking at Seth, I began: "Ah, finally we have a family reunion. It had been 900 years since we last get together. I must say that our dear sister had out-done herself in leading this empire to survive for generations." and then I paused to scrutinized Abel: "Hello my beloved Abel, how is your body healing from our previous fight?"
Abel clenches his fists and glares heatedly at me as his response. Aww! I always adore him when he's angry as he had a habit of pouting. He look's like an angry cute puppy that I would very much hug it to my chest.
Meanwhile Seth unperturbedly asked with a hint of venom: "What brings you here today, Brother?"
"Tch… Why the frostiness towards me? I have come to make a proposal for both of you." Stupid biiiiaatch, stopped ruining my moment of happiness in reuniting with my Abel.
"And what is the proposal about, Cain?" Seth asked suspiciously. I really hate her and she just happened to be on the top of my list to eliminate off from the Earth's surface. Still I need to do what's needed to be done and thus, I stamped down my murderous rage in favor for my brother and started to recite elegantly of my specially prepared speech.
"This world is still polluted with filthy humans, be it they called themselves Terrans or Methuselahs, as it is 900 years ago. I have always envisioned a world where we shall be the ones to shape this world into a new utopia. Yet, in order to renew this world and create our very own utopia, it must be first destroyed. This also follows the cycle of the world's trinity: Peace, Revolution and War." I stopped for a moment to let the effect of my words to sink into their stubborn minds.
Then staring at my siblings intensely with a feverish stance, I continued: "Now we are at the second stage – Revolution. However, my powers alone are not enough to do what I have envisioned and push the world to the highest peak of Revolution. As a result, I have joined the Rozen Kruez Orden for their motto 'With our fire, we will cleanse the world.' resonated with me. With their help, I'm able to work better towards my goal and yet even with my efforts in making this world better, it is not enough to stay at the second stage."
"Therefore, I have decided that the world needs to be push into the third stage – War. With this stage, my vision of utopia will be fulfilled once and for all. In order to achieve that, I will need a war so great that it involves the whole world. I need a World War."
"Still, it is always better to have more allies than enemies. Therefore, I hereby put forth this proposal and ask both of you to join me by my side. Just like the time we fought together during the days of the Holy War and together we shall fulfill this vision."
A great ominous silence follows after I ended the speech. The Royal Guards who are defending their Empress look at me in shock and instinctively tighten their hold on their weapons. Hmph, foolish mortals. Stop giving me those looks. I am very, very well aware that the fact I'm such a handsome beau. And no, I'm not for the taking. Don't even entertain that trail of thought…
After some moments, the pressuring silence was broken when I finally asked: "What do you say to this, my dearest siblings?"
Seth makes the first movement, standing up from her throne and walks as regally as she can to stand beside Abel. Heehee, she still looks like a midget beside Abel. Looks like the special height-increasing milk formula did not work out much to her benefit when she's an infant.
Then she starts to reply with absolute seriousness: "I can not and will not join you in this insane vision of yours. I have the responsibility to protect my precious children of this empire. It is a duty bestowed on me when I take up the title of Empress Augusta Vradica, leading my children to a bright, peaceful future where Terrans and Methuselahs can live in harmony. Therefore, I will fight you to the death to protect my children and the future generations that will come forth to this world."
Children? Future generations? Ha! There would be none at all on this earth when I'm done through destroying it.
Abel, always my sweet dearest brother in my eyes, who had been silently watching the interaction finally spoke determinedly: "Cain, I will not let you do as you wish. Long, long time ago, I have made a promise to protect the humans of this world and I will destroy you myself even if it takes my whole life."
Ouch… that's hurt. A lot more than I expected of that idiot blockhead to respond like that to my… 'Declaration'. However, idiotic as he was, he's still my beloved and the adorable idiot brother. Yes, he's mine. No filthy humans would ever lay a hand on him, not when I'm still breathing.
Ahh… I think I just realized something very important, that I'm actually in a very 'committed relationship' with Abel. No, not that relationship at all. I meant the very brotherly love-hate relationship. It's simple, you see. I love him and he hates me. Except that both of us took it to the extreme end of killing each other. Literally.
"My children, as your Empress, heed my commands! All of you move behind me and set up a static barrier. Stay out of it, this fight concerned only the three of us. If today is the day I died, let it be known to the world that it is Cain, the head of Rozen Kruez Orden, who had slain your Empress. Let it be known that my children of the New Human Empire shall avenge me and eliminate this Enemy of the world!" Seth commanded.
Tch… such arrogance drama acts. Oh well, since you loved drama so much my dearest sister, I would of course give you the most dramatic death in history.
"Your Majesty…" the Captain of the guards hesitantly called, trying fruitlessly to change his Empress's decision.
"Silence! Do as I command!" shouted Seth.
I coldly look on without interference. The Royal Guards obey their Empress's wishes and move to set up a barrier to protect them from the danger that we three siblings could made up. I sensed fear and saw looks of disbelief that they were actually letting their Empress to fight her own personal life and death battle by herself.
Heehee, what can they do at all? Even they were not a match for their 'soon to be dead and drained dried of her blood Empress'. They watch helplessly from inside the barrier they were forced to create reluctantly as an intensive fight broke out between Abel, Seth and me.
I remembered fondly of the sweet confrontation with my beloved siblings, for it was the most rewarding experience I can ever have…
