Rebirth of the Wizard King

Chapter 6

Please Enjoy.

"Alright I will be doing them today, please come to my study once you have finished everything" he answered, " I have done everything already sir" I responded before he could leave, the sooner he does this ritual, the faster it is to get away from him. 

"Alright ensure that Helix is alright and then get the item ready," he said and strode upstairs, presumably to go to the study. I really didn't want to be in the same room as him but I can't take the punishment for not following his orders. Why is my life so hard, I tried pleading with the universe?

I collected all the items that are needed for the so-called Rune Ritual that I have been doing since the second year of coming to live with this family. The items consisted of a sharp knife ( a special knife made from a steel-like stone), a golden bowl that had some weird inscriptions on it, and last but not least, something called cleansing powder. 

After gathering the items I made y way to the study, so as to not waste his time. I knocked and waited on his request before entering.

"Remove your t-shirt' he stated as he got a metal table ready, seemingly like a doctor ready to perform surgery. I removed the garment and lay face down on the table, as I watched him heat the knife, he had me keep in my possession at the fireplace that was in his study. As the heat made contact with the knife, it started to make a small whistle sound that gradually got louder the longer he held it under the fire. 

After a minute or two, the knife color had turned into a golden dagger with similar inscriptions as the ones on the bowl. He then moved towards me; I bit down on the shirt I had taken off as he pierced my skin with the knife. I don't know how long it lasted but I could only hear my heart pounding in my ear.

Noticing that he was finally finished I whimpered and tried getting up off the metal table but couldn't, I slouched back down and peeked in his direction. Like all the other times, he collects the blood from my back into the golden bowl. 

Each time we do this ritual, it is always the same pattern drawn, it's like reopening a wound each time. After he dripped all the blood from the dagger into the bowl, he grabbed the cleansing powder and sprinkled it on the areas that were just mangled by the dagger. Even after years of doing this, I think can get used to the pain or even bare it. 

After the cleansing powder was used the pain had subdued a bit and I could get off the table, by this time the cleansing powder had been used the wounds on my back had become numb and stopped bleeding. Watching him taking up the bandage for my back, I moved over to him so that we can help cover the wounds and have the cleaning powder remain on the wounds. 

I took precautions in putting the saliva and eye-water-soaked shirt back on. I dared not scream throughout the whole process as he got angry a few years ago when I started crying as he completed the ritual.

After the ritual, I was dismissed to clean myself up. I peeked at his face before leaving as I noticed that each time he does the Rune Ritual it would be after it has been completed. I normally let off duties for a full day anytime this happens, but I made my way to the kitchen to make something for Helix and something quick for myself to eat before anyone notices or gets here. 

I have come to find out that no one else in this family knows about this Runes Ritual, to me, it seems that he has some kinks and it involves solving slicing people's back with a 360-degree stone knife. Before leaving the room he had given the knife back to me for safekeeping and kept the bowl with my blood. 

After ensuring the Helix was fed, I washed up the dishes and myself before striding over to the ed to try and sleep off the pain that I could still feel from the wounds.

I am so glad that I was through with prepping something for them to eat for dinner. They'll be able to just finish the meal. That was my last thought as I succumbed to the darkness that invaded my eyes.

"Your majesty, how should we proceed," a voice asked. I reluctantly opened my eyes to see who the person was talking to, wondering why they were not answering to the call. Upon opening my eyes I was shocked to see that I was in a throne room of some sort". What the hell am I doing here I thought to myself. 

"We will create the ancient seal once more" a very familiar voice responded, I turned to see but was not able to find the source of the voice.
