"Please don't take me! I don't want to go !"The little boy cried, desperately trying to escape from the grip of the old man. " I promise I'll behave!! Please don't!"
He was probably 13-14years old, short in height with bright blue eyes. Giles remembered this character being the scapegoat for every mess that his character made before meeting his demise in his hands.
Poor boy.
They will all be sent to the Palace. The place where the world's elements wielders and rulers lived. The most protected place.
The Palace needs new "servants" to help with their duties. So every year they take in people.
Anyone would probably be super happy to live in a big castle but this world's rulers are also the worst people in the world.
Why else would they need young boys and girls every year?
Another reason was that anyone sent to there, is bound by a contract...that basically means they'll live and work their till death. Slavery.
Its been two days, since he came to this world and its already was such a pain. He did calculate that his journey to Palace will start today, so without any struggle he got on to carriage/ cage and took the best spot at the middle.
Being the first on the carriage, he got looks from everyone. They all expected for Giles to throw a fit, that's why they specifically brought some heavy metal cuffs to bind him.
Perhaps, the original Giles would do that. But he can't afford it. The journey is already long and they'll barely get any food. He rather go as comfortably as he could.
The old woman was suspicious and whispered to her husband. "Do you think he's got some nasty plan up his brain!"
But her husband shrugged. "He got nothing. You don't have to worry hon"
It was true. His story has to go in that direction or else....he doesn't really know what will happen. Although right before the carriage started, his mind did tell him to jump off.
Then again, an orphan in the streets would just get trampled on and die. He didn't want to imagine the thought of selling this body to live. He also had little choice, as this couple wouldn't let him get away without punishment. Sending him to the Palace was their revenge plot.
They do end up dying when the original character went on a murder rampage. Terrible deaths.
The two men in charge cuffed poor Peter instead, securing him in an uncomfortable position with his behind his back. The boy cried and cried until he fainted from the blow on his head and then the journey began.
There were two other boys and girls, yet they kept to themselves. Since Giles was known for being a bully, they mostly gossiped within themselve.
Giles didn't bother either. He had to make his own plans. The original character's parents are in the palace. He had to prepare himself.
Their are 5 elements in this world. They are all born from the same families who all live in the Palace.
In the lore, its said that in the past, humans were brought almost to the brink of extinction because of powerful evil monsters that lived underground. That was when five sons of the king were sent out to find a solution. The five princes went to 5 different gods to ask for their blessings.
The eldest went to the mountain god and he blessed him with the power of fire and a sword that will never fail him.
The second went to the ocean god at the very end of the world, and she blessed him with the power of water and crystal shield that will never break.
The third searched the forests and found the earth god, who gave him the power of nature and a poisoned spear that with no cure.
The fourth went to the darkest caves to find the shadow god. She admired the prince's cunningness and gave him her shadow element and a dagger that can suck the soul out of its victim.
Its unknown who the youngest prince met. The lore was that he came back with the power of the sun and a mysterious white compass.
After that, the story was simple, the five prince defeat the monsters, sending them into hiding in different locations.
One of these locations fell in the path from Rottinghill to the Palace.
Giles glanced at the heavy padlocks on the carriage. He knew his character survived the trip, but the possibility was still there. They were inside thick metal barred cage with a thick wooden base.
The sky got darker as they entered they entered a forest. The path from their little cottage had disappeared, replaced by the unique black barked trees. These were a special kind of species, only growing on the south side of the Palace.
But as the loud shrieking noises started to get louder and multiplied, it implied they had entered the hiding place of the Red wolves.
The carriage increased its pace. The horses breathed foam, they also knew any longer here meant death and ran as fast their bodies could.
A loud howl came right beside them accompanied by sounds of panting and running.
Giles braced himself, lying flat and clawing on the wood in the middle and away from the open bars. His mind racing a thousand scenarios and all of them was death.
"yeahhh...I .. cannn;t die... hahaha" he told himself.
Just then, a Red wolf jumped out of the bushes and slammed itself on top of the carriage.
Yup...... he's dying.
