"Mother?..." I shook my mother's shoulder as she woke up from her sleep, a soft smile on her pale face as she looked back at me her eyes tired even after her rest. I faked a smile as I handed her a cup of water. "here mother you need your strength."
"Your sweet dear, have you eaten yet?" I smiled nodded showing her a plate of eggs I made for her.
"Yes mother now please eat your fill." she took the plate as I helped her eat the wooden fork cutting into the eggs softly. I was not much of a cook but I learn things quickly thankfully. I fed her as I chucked the time outside frowning as the clouds looked a bit dark a bad sign for my mother. "i should start chopping firewood.."
"Wait… Alistair…" my mother grabbed my arm as she made me look at her with what little strength she had. "Please dear, your so young you are only thirteen years…"
"Mother..." I pulled my hand away in anger. She had been asking me this for a week now since her.. condition. I have been taking care of her since father left to the new world. All I wanted to do was tare him apart for leaving her and I alone in her time of need!.. then again I also wanted to jump into his arms and cry begging him to help her.
I walked outside the house as I began chopping wood as people walked by paying me no mind as anger built into me. How could they just walk by so much suffering? I looked around seeing children just like me chopping wood or selling fruits or bread or…. Or themselves to those who would offer currency. I hated this world so badly for all of the pain they put us through.
I gathered the wood and took it all back into the house placing it within the fireplace as I shivered rubbing my hands together as I gasped the cold getting to me, if I was this far off mother must be in horrid pain. Just the thought of her… of her.. I shake my head clearing my thoughts as I scowled and used my anger to fuel my warmth as I started the fire smashing the tinder and flint together getting a spark as it ignited to my relief a small crimson flame growing into a blaze and then into a mighty inferno… well for a child anyway.
I warmed myself a bit as I gathered the coals placing them in a pin to put under mother's bed hopefully it will keep her a bit of comfort. When I came to her room she was asleep again, she looked so peaceful. I smiled at her as I shook my head, she could sleep through an earthquake. I placed the coals in their wrap under the bed replacing the cold coals as I heard a loud knocking on our front door.
My mother mumbled a bit in pain the sound to harsh for her in her state. I quickly left to the door to stop it when to my horror a man grabbed me by my neck strangling me lifting me off the ground as he tossed me across the room slamming me into the wall as I gasped and fell shacking in pain. My mind was blank to confused and frightened about what was going on.
I pulled myself to my feet as I looked back to see the man gone. I calmed for only as moment when I heard a scream and panicked rushing off the ground with a limp my heart racing in my chest enough to the point I could have had a heart attack but could care less at the moment knowing that.. that beast was in my mother's room.
"No.." I stopped the only thing I saw was blood… a large mass of blood covering the room in a vale of pure dark red. My knees shook as I shivered there but not from the cold, my eyes were wide and watery full of tears falling into small rivers of sorrow flowing down my face. I felt an arm on my shoulder as I tilted my head up seeing the man wearing a dark mask I recognized from one of the plague doctors that came to check my mother… only ragged, torn and covered in rot and fresh and old crusted blood.
"Come child," the voice from the man was as if two people were talking at once. One of an old man and the other of a child of my age. My eyes moved to the hand on my shoulder seeing it half decayed the bones poking through the skin as I shook more and more my breath hitching in my throat as I look up back at the man who pulled back his other boney fist. "Let me teach you wondrous things" that was the last thing I heard as he sent the fist into my face, after that… only darkness.
I woke up with a raging headache shivering my whole body feeling even colder then before. I sighed seeing a stream of mist coming from my mouth frowning at how thick it was. The cold in my land was not so intense that it made that much of a cold… then it hit me… I was not home. The memories of what happened flooded into my mind as I bolted upward hitting my already aching head as I winced and fell back to the ground just as another realization hit me, I was moving… I felt all around me feeling I was in a wooden box swaying in the cold wind.
"Help! Someone please help me!" I shouted finding my voice as I pounded on the wood as I heard a crack and stopped as the wood snapped and dropped me down onto a cold stone ground. I winced as my whole body ached, I hoped to god my bones were not broken as I opened my eyes frowning. I was in a dark room nothing around me but shadows and the broken box. How long have I been inside it freezing in this cold room? "Hello!? Anyone please!…. Please..."
I fell to my knees and cried feeling hopeless and alone, what point was there!? Mother was gone! I seen the orphans and I did not want that life! To be used by strange men or be forced to work in the mines, loosing themselves to madness and depression. I shook on the ground as I growled my teeth grinding in my mouth as I stood.
"This is all fathers fault!" I shouted to myself kicking the wooden remains of the box seething in internal rage. It was his fault, he left us he left us for a foolish mission he would never seceded in! There was no new world! There was only this land dam it! Only mother and I but he could care less! I hate him! I hate him so much! "I wish you are dead!"
"Is that so little one?" I looked back in rage not caring about the monster I knew was there in the shadows mocking me, well I was not going to have it I was not going to let it make me feel any more sorrow that was already burring away into hatred.
"Yes I do!" my voice was shrill and high with fury wanting only to see my father and wring his scrawny neck! "i want him to suffer for leaving us! To suffer!"
"Oh little one, we were so sure you were the right one to take up our mantel. You have made us ever so happy, down deep deep into our cold cold souls." I frowned not caring what they felt, not in the slightest. All I wanted deep into my soul was for him to pay for all this, not the one who killed my mother but the one who caused the event to happen… that insignificant waste of life! "tell us oh child, what would you give to see him in pain and what then? Will you cause more pain?"
"What ever you want from me! I could care less what I do after!" I shout at them holding my hand over my chest "rip my heart out! My soul! My limbs I could care less!"
"Oh child your resolve is beautiful! The price however is very simple but something you will never get back, all we wish from you is your soul." as it said that a small purple flame danced around me as it stopped right in front of my heart. The flame felt cold as I touched it, as if it was meant to freeze rather then burn. "we will ask one final time dear child… is this what you want?"
"Without a question!" I said as I grasped the flame within my fist crushing it as the flame ignited my body making me feel cold as ice. The feeling was horrible but I withstood it not caring… in fact… I wanted more, I wanted it to take everything if it meant he will suffer and feel the pain mother and I went through for so long, for him to wither and die so... SO.. slowly. I fell to my knees as I breathed off feeling different… stronger, as if I could burn the world with a flick of my wrist.
"Well done child. You take to darkness so well, it loves your hatred so much! It is time then child, let us teach you the ways of darkness and tainted souls." the darkness parted as I found myself in what looked like a class room, purple candles burned all around me as children my age if not older sat within the desks their eyes odd and burned with conviction and a need… a need to bring pain to someone… just like me. In-front of me was the man who killed my mother looking down at me with the rotted plague doctor mask. "Come child, we have much to teach you"

I smiled to myself as I stood on the soft sand. It had been so long since I gained my new power, power to take life in a way no man should, all for this one glorious moment! I looked around and frowned to myself, the fool actually did it… but at what cost? My mother that's what! I wasted no time anymore and stormed right to the door as I kicked it open seeing the log cabin full of furs and dried meat soon to be wet from blood.
"Who goes there!?" shouted the man I hated with every fiber of my being. After giving me one look he recognized me as his eyes turned to longing. "it cant be… Alistair?"
I chuckled as I nodded faking a sweet smile for my dear dear father. He quickly ran up to me pulling me into his arms sobbing. I smirked at the stupidity of it all, how could he be sorrowful now? After leaving mother in a death sentence?
"I missed you so much." I didn't say a word as I held him close to me running my hand to my side as I gently pulled out a thin knife.
"The feeling father… is not mutual." he pulled away as I stabbed him in the shoulder with the blade it sinking deep into his skin in a soft mushy thud. I smiled widely as the poison kicked in immediately as he feel to his knees in-front of me looking up at me with eyes of betrayal.
"W… why?" he chucked out as the poison made its way to his lungs, they became week only letting him breath softly as he feel to the ground.
"You know why father, but don't worry." I chuckled as I licked the poison off the knife it tasting wonderful in my new body it making me feel stronger my blood boiling with overwhelming joy as I coursed through my vanes! "I promise we will be spending so much time together!"
he crocked out a gasp as I pushed him onto his back dropping down on top of him as I pointed the blade right onto his arm and with so much pleasure slooowly sunk it into his skin, his eyes tearing up and widening in sweet sweet pain. I chuckled loving every second of it, doing it again onto his thy all the while avoiding his vital organs.
"oh father I wanted this for so long." I stab him as I made him watch my eyes each time. I pulled out a purple gem as I placed it on his chest as the life ever so slowly left his body. I smirked as I watched his wretched soul sink into the gem for later use. "you will pay for leaving us for the rest of my eternity. Be greatful father, for now… we will be together… hehe… forever."

I stood over the frost veiled mountain as I watched the dragon laying her child cast in a crimson egg shining among the cold cold ground. She wrapped it in her tail holding the fragile thing close to her but for only a moment as she left out a sweet cry of pain and misery that I learned to love in my many many years.
I watched with interest wondering where my sweet test subject was planing to do with her little child not knowing the cruel fate she was going to leave it to. With angered eyes I watched as she left the egg to rot n the cold snow. Thinking about it reminded me of my father and him adanding me and mother to the cold… my hatred for my test subject grew right then and there.
"Poor thing." I watched as the red egg turned blue as it cracked in the cold snow… "no.. I wont let you have my fate… let me help you or dear child."
I chuckled to myself at first remembering my teachers voice in my heart. He saved me from my fate caressing my body and heart within the darkness… now it was my turn to do the same. I coated the egg in my power as it turned ink black cracking more and more as it hatched the bones falling down into the snow, forming together into a small whelp of a creature.
'Rawr!' I chuckled lightly at its cute attempt at dominance, I simply lift the whelp into my arms cradling it, soothing its sorrow in my grasp. My heart filled with content for the first time in so long. I ran my hand on its skull lovingly as it let out soft cries.
"Dont worry little one, I will be a better father then mine could ever be." I smirked as I reached over to the crystal holding my fathers screaming soul within its form. I looked up as I watched the red dragon flee in fear. "And worry not, I promise I will give oyu the same chance I got. The chance to get your revenge, and make your mother pay."
I laughed loudly in the cold holding my new child, my dear instrument of destruction and pain that I will mold into the one who will aid me in my ultimate goal. To finally see him, to finally see my true master and serve him to my fullest. He will return one day to this world and it will end in a fiery yet cold inferno. Oh my dear son, when that day comes we will see it together and feed their souls to my master…. Then… hehehe… then they will know even more pain!
