BLAZE

YOU BELONG UNDER SIX FEET

Abria

The grizzly wind was blowing harshly while the clouds started to conflict in the sky. The thunderclaps were echoing from the farthest point of the place.. they all ran towards us and poured it on us to cleanse the blood.

I was staring at the familiar stranger who killed two of the royal servants under a snap of a finger. To be honest, I found it both amazing and terrifying. To some level, I was really impressed by his skills. He wasn't any ordinary person but claimed himself the king… who could this person be?

What was more surprising about this person is that he knows my name too… Why does he have this aura around him which reminds me of something I have been familiar with?

"Who are you? How do you know my name?" I demand an answer for this.

He furrowed his brows at me and then passed a nasty smirk.

"Well.. well!! Look at you… you have grown up to be a very charming and beautiful young lady… after all, the powerful genes you possess have something to do with this. Those eyes remind me of Elijah but the anger you hold in them reminds me of my loving wife, Queen Eira aka Silver, you mother. I think you have met her, right?" He explained things to me.

"This is not the answer to my question and I don't care who your wife is… just spill the beans without wasting my time.." I snapped at him while glaring down at his soul.

He observed me through his hunting eyes which definitely consists of some sort of revenge on them.

"Oh.. let me introduce myself to you.. I am the first person to hold you in my arms when you were born, right after your mother… I was the one who held your mother's hand when your ungrateful father left her. I took your responsibility and gave you my name but someone abducted you one night and everything changed…" he narrated the story bit by bit but it was really confusing to me.

Carmen told me that my mother left my father but this person says that it was my father who left my mother… I don't know what and who to trust?

Suddenly, his gaze narrowed at me which made me alert on my feet, "sadly, I assumed that you might be dead by now and my job is pretty easy… however, it didn't turn out as I expected… i should have killed you the moment i landed my eyes on you, the moment you were brought to me… because you are the root of every possible failure in this kingdom.." he gritted his teeth and the way he looked at me clearly indicates that he holds a grudge on me. But why? I was hardly a few months old when I got abducted so why did he want to kill me?

"Nice story, by the way, I am not delusional like you… anyone else could have been deceived by your baseless story, not me… and look at you… you look like a beggar but claim yourself as a king? King of what? Joker? So sad…" he shook my head and laughed at him.

He looked provoked and brought out his sword of ice… this man definitely has some serious issues.

"You should have watched your mouth before spitting anything… now, i have to keep you silent forever.." he spat and ran towards me.

I had taken enough of his s**t and I am not able to tolerate more. Though, this whole punishment thing made me frustrated and now this super i***t decides to ruin my day.. I won't let it happen.

I let my powers run freely and encircled us in a ring of fire. Letting the flames dance on my hands, I made arrows and launched them at him. He dodged them with his sword. He jumped in the air to hit me from the above. But I flipped the right side and threw a fire kunai at him. He was fast but it was able to hit him in the leg.

"s**t… what the hell was that thing?" He cursed loudly when the kunai pierced his skin.

The fire was deadly and a deep cut was bleeding heavily. The burning marks on his skin started to necrose but he freezed the wound.

"Like a mother like a daughter… I will not let you live in peace." He was glaring so dangerously at me.

This time, I was really worried but luckily, the rescue team arrived from the palace. The royal guards and their commander dropped from the vehicle and attacked him.

But the son of a b***h ran away while the guards ran behind him. The force distributed in different directions to find him.

However, I stood alone and wondered what just happened… but then, Daphne approached me and put her hand on my shoulder. I moved my head to look at her.

She appeared different and her eyes weren't harsh on me.. "Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" She asked me with a slight smile on her face.

I shook my head and replied to her, "I am good but those royal servants with me, they are killed by him.." I pointed at the dead bodies lying on the ground.

She gasped and cursed something under her breath..

"I will inform the queen about this to the queen… Now, we have to leave… come with me.." she offered her hand.

I was concerned about the way she was treating me because she was the same person who made me set the whole palace on fire.. why this sudden change?

Reluctantly, I took her offer and got inside the armed vehicle. Once again, my plan is ruined but now, I don't want to leave either. After meeting this man and hearing a few things from him, my curiosity to find the truth has increased..

There is a lot of s**t buried under six feet which needs to be dug..
