Vengeance
-
_How long has it been now? Four years? Five years? The memory is still so clear, that it might as well have happened yesterday.
Life can change so suddenly. It can be a such a brilliant crystal chalice, only to slip from your hand and shatter on the floor. I lived a crystal life. It was brilliant, but so fragile. I had everything I wanted.. I had a good name, riches, a place in the academy. I had a family.
I had a mother.And then it slipped. I knew I should have been there, I should have travelled with her like I always did. I wasn't much of a fighter, and she already had a retinue of bodyguards, but it just felt right. That I was there and I could protect her on the dangerous road to Akanax.
But I stayed home that day. I was too busy.
I have no excuse.And then it shattered. Bandits took her.
Raped her. Tortured her.
Put her to blame for their sins.
Sold her back to the city a corpse.I called to the gods. Prayed and pleeded for justice.
My Lord answered. I swore my life to Him. Swore that I would never let that evil go unpunished. I swore to be a sword of justice. Vengeance.We found them, we killed them slowly, but it does not bring her back. I want her back.
How many must I kill before I find satisfaction?All of them.Five years ago.
I'm in Narfell now. I ran.
I met people Barbarians, and already there are dues.
But I'll learn. I'll become stronger. I'll become faster.
Until I'm as the thunder. Undeniable and certain powerful. And only then, when evil trembles with fear at the coming retribution. When nobody escapes their dues and the world is fair.
When nobody escapes.//assimilated Sciolist's style into my own._
