The Villain I am Not

chapter 13

I woke up to the sound the engines shutting down. I had reached the destination, Rohnan was taking me to a temple, to train me in darkness arts.
The door on the room i was opened.

"We have arrived" -Rohnan spoke

I stood up and walked outside, the place was all dark, a destroyed city could be seen in the distance. Surrounded by a green fire-like Aura. The screams could be heard from a distance. The place was horrible. I could feel the air so sofocating. As we got closer to the temple. I saw two large doors as the entrance.

Once inside, nine statues held as pillars for the room could be seen, each with a green fire been held by the statues hands. On the end of the room was an altar. We walked closer to it, there was skelletons on the floor, some wearing armors from different times and legions. Some of them even from ancient races that no longer exists.

On the middle of the room, a battle took place for years. On the back of the altar, was one blade. A black hilt and stuck on a pedestal. The Dark blade. Many have fought in the past to optain the blade. Says who wields it to battle, can command the darkness itself.

"We are not here for the blade, we know you are not ready" -Rohnan spoke

"Then why are we here?"

"Simple.... here lies the darkness, death and extinction. It was my plan to bring Adam here, he can clain the blade and strike down the light. But you see... things got, complicated...."

"What happened?"

" you see... Adam's heart is conflicted. There is something inside of him that is holding his heart to the light... a loved one, perhabs?"

"Adam was born in the light, he is light, even if he struggles!"

"No... you are wrong! He is not light, but darkness! He is not really born in your Realm. He was born on Nemsword."

"Does he knows about this?"

"No... so less that he knows, but Yookai... yookai knows the truth. But as long as he wants him dead, things will never be clear."

I looked around to the armors on the floor and stopped to think about that night master yookai arrived in my place. We spoke about a lot of things, but I remember him talking about Adam. He loves him so much, he is like a son to him. He raised him, gave him a home, food and care when he needed it. Maybe that love that is keeping him from the darkness is that. Or... me?

I remember the first time I saw Adam. It was that fatefull day, that I passed my trials to become a Light guardian. On that final challenge I met him. So proud, so tall, so sad.... maybe he was just concerned about a lot of stuff, and he reacted like that. I have been some time with him and I know that he really wants to be free, he wants to see new worlds and feel like no one will judge him...

"The cat got your tongue?" -Rohnan spoke

"N... no... I am sorry! I was just thinking.."

"About what excactly?"

I rolled my eyes and looked back. I wasnt going to tell him my secrets.

A strong wind surrounded us, as the fires of the statues grew biagger, and suddenly from the shadows, hooded figures started to appear behind the statues, the agents of the nine. The elite assassins from the Dark order.

"You are here to start your journey, You must join them in a mission. YOU must defeat one of our traitors, there is a family, that lives in Orstar, they betrayed the Nemsword empire and now they must be hunted."
