An assassins pride

chapter 11: blessings in poem

Error Pov: I felt myself gain consciousness as a warm feeling covered my cold body. I felt like I was weightless. The smell of saltwater filled my senses, yet I didnt feel the sensation of water covering my body.

Where was i?

What happened?

Was I dead..?

I felt my eyes flutter open to a beautiful sight. I felt in awe and shocked.

Water surrounded me, but I was standing in a large dry area. The water floated around me, as if scared of my touch. It wasnt dirty water. I heard the call of whales, and the yells of dolphins. The water was clear with tints of light blue, and yellow from the bright sun that shined into the water. The sand under my toes comforted me as I watched the waves move small fish and sway nearby seaweed. colorful corals littered the floor around me, along with some pebbles and larger rocks.

"Hello error" said a voice I didnt recognize. I turn around to see a large women standing in the large water bubble with me. She looked vaguely familiar, yet I know this was my first time meeting her.

She stood tall and smiled kindly. Her skin was a pale green and shined compared to her dark green hair. She wore a flower crown and a long white gown with pink accents. Her eyes where pure white, but shown no threat.

Why was a so calm..?

"Who are you..?" I ask.

"My name is nim. I'm here to help you, but only if you do something for me in return"

Nim.. that's sounds familiar-

"Like what..? Why help me..? What's going on..?"

"Your aware that alongside curses, their are blessings, correct..?"

"Yes..?"

"Well. Your stuck in a flood, that you shouldnt survive. But, it's not your time yet. So.. I'm going to grant you the blessing of a second life. Only if you stop him."

"Him?"

"The book will explain everything. The satchel holds the answers. I dont have much time, the guard comes to rescue you, so listen closely.

Protection you will find in the kings grasp,

But not all threats are gone.

The neighboring kingdoms hold deep secrets,

And three people are held by their past regrets until the next months dawn.

Curses affect more then just you.

Their curse is known to have no cure

Yet you can find their freedom

In the apple trees of their kingdoms nature.

A jester, a guard, and king,

All currupted with hate,

Yet their stories are not finished,

For they still seek out your fate.

Protect yourself

For the secrets of yours must be revealed

Your curse will find a cure for itself,

For the kings passion is how you will be healed.

Only once the young brother is back,

Will you find your happy ending

Your life or death is in your hands.

For each action has a consequence that is unending."
