My Beginning After the End

Retainer Uto

"Get out of here Darvus!" I ordered, not wanting someone else to die. He started to limp into the tunnel, they were so close. I stared at Samantha's lifeless corpse, and as I did, I saw another black rode growing out of the ground, right at Darvus from behind. "No!" I shouted, trying to push wind mana to Darvus before it hit him, but I watched as the black spike knocked him to the ground, and he entered the tunnel, out of view.

"The so called Blood Deviant." I turned to the scratchy voice coming from the darkness in the other tunnel. "All I see is another Lesser, what a waste of time."

A simple "Fuck" slipped out of my mouth, as I watched as a man in black armor and robes, stepped out into the cavern. He had a hood on his head, but I could see two horns growing out of his forehead. The Retainer towered over me, he was at least six foot four, his red eyes stared into my soul with ease, and his arms were weirdly lengthy.

Darvus was still breathing, I sensed it, but he was unconscious and bleeding out. The pressure emitting off of Uto was frightening, his aura was this dark fog that sent shivers down my spine.

I was scared.

"Haha." I laughed out loud, thinking about my current situation. I could feel the blood inside of Uto, but he was too powerful, I wasn't able to rip it out. I knew that would be the case though, he's stronger than me.

Rage started to boil up in me, Samantha was dead, Darvus would be soon, I couldn't die here too. Samantha, over the past year, has been like an older sister to me. My fingers started to twitch, wanting to start the battle already. The blood around me was eager to be let free, I could feel it, but could I even take Uto.

"I love killing children, seeing the light in their eyes fade away, in the palms of my hands." Uto was now standing twenty yards away from me. "To bad I'm not supposed to kill you, or I would stick little spikes into your eyes and watch you bleed to death."

"Shut up, Uto." I told him and started to scratch my head. How was I going to do this?

"What did you say to me Lesser?" He snarled, his voice continuing to make me shiver, but I didn't care. "How do you know who I am?"

"Bro, I'm thinking, give me a second." More of Uto's aura exploded out toward me, I used my blood magic to cancel out the effects, cooling myself off. "You are Retainer Uto of Vechor, and you serve under Scythe Dragoth, I believe." I spoke with a calm voice, trying to breathe steadily as I planned this shit out.

A spike aimed at my core was launched at me, and as it entered my vicinity, it froze in place and fell to the ground. "Interesting, for a boy, you seem to know a decent amount about Alacrya, whose feeding you the information, the filthy Asuras?"

I shook my head no. "They won't tell us shit." I let the blood surrounding my arms flow around my body. I started to shake and twitch in excitement and rage, I pushed the part of me scared to the side, knowing that I didn't have a choice, and that this was inevitable. I will avenge Samantha, right here, right now. "The fact you planned this, just to see me, it's pretty funny, isn't it?" I squatted down on the ground. "Hahaha, you, of all people, are here to what, capture me?"

Uto glared down at me. "I can see you have a couple screws loose; I like that."

"I bet you do." I pulled my hood down, knowing it was going to fall off at some point. "The strongest Retainer, coming for me, honestly, I feel like I should be honored."

"I wouldn't say that, this isn't going to end well for you." Uto spat at me. "Haha, the way you look at me kid, you better stop that."

I stood back up. "It's a shame, Arthur won't ever be able to meet you, I know he would have adored your personality."
