"Eudon, stop this! Just stand down!"
"I believe that I'm the older brother, so you can't tell me what to do! Just get out of my way"
"Why can't you just live in peace!? You're the Emperor of Acronious, leader of the Rectio bloodline, and you want more than that!? Even Ryia, your beloved fiancé can see that you are wrong!"
"Eudon, please! Listen to us, your brother, your friends and I just want you to be happy with what you have. There's no need to take over the rest of the Tri-Amnis, our nation's already live in harmony together."
Not even Ryia's sweet words and beautiful smile will change my mind! Why can't they see it! They're fools, all of them! To think that even Cedrick, my little brother opposes me! But I'll show them, I'll show them all!! My power trumps all others, and with it I will rule all three great nations with an iron fist! The government now is too loose, giving criminals an easy way out. But as Emperor, I'll kill them all! And I'll murder everybody who get in my way! The Rectio has been sticking to traditional habits way too long, and I can't take it anymore. I shall go further than all those before me, and spread my peace across the entire world. Not even the gods can do it, but I will transcend even the gods might! I thought the others saw my ultimate goal for peace. But instead the ten of them surround me, as if even they can defeat me. The eleven of us are known as the Equos Undecim, the most elite squad of warriors since the Salvatores Septem. Me and my brother Cedrik represent the Rectio. The twin brothers Alvin and Kalvin represent the Terita Oculus. Quinn represents the Oratio, and my fiancé Ryia represents the Amor. Then there is the Lentas Mentis twins Jarin and Jasmine. Juliet, my brothers crush, represents the Gratus, and the Fortis is home to the siblings Alice and Bryce. Together we have been through quite a bit, and I'd never thought I would see the day where I'd have no choice but to fight them all by myself. Even for me, this will be a dangerous battle. Just as I know their powers, they also know mine. Just as I get my game plan in order they all rush me, but instead of attacking me, they hug me.
"W-what are you doing to me?"
I look to see that Ryia is next to my face. She is beautiful, her copper toned skin glistening in the moonlight. She wears the black same black and silver armor as the rest of the Equos Undecim, but somehow it looks so much better on her. Her hair is in a simple ponytail, and her eyes, the same copper color as her skin, gaze into my own eyes.
"I you love Eudon, I always will"
She stands on the tips of her toes and kisses me. Slowly I feel my energy fading away. That's one of her abilities. Though I try to fight it, but I can't shake them off of me. The last thing I see is a tear going down Ryia's cheek.
—
I wake up to the smell of mildew and sweat. Even in the darkness, I can see that I'm behind bars, I can hear my chains rattling. It also seems that I've been stripped of my armor, down to my simple black shirt and shorts. I tried to break the chains with my telekinesis, but I don't have enough energy. I try again but it's useless as I can feel myself fainting again. I don't know what I've become, but I do know that I'm now a prisoner of my own nation.
