Fate once again

Part 1. Immortal Heart

- His heart?

- Yes,  rumors going around....

-Rumors?

-Shhh....- The tall old man looked around and continued - If you eat his heart, you could become immortal.

-Oh...

-He lived for a hundred years.

-But how will we kill him?

Silence fell in the small, almost dark room. Three people inside froze from the terrifying idea of killing the immortal emperor. 

-How? ...

-  How will we do it? 

I heard he is not feeling well...-Big, chubby man, Minister of Finance looked around. His face was twisted with fear as his small eyes checked the surroundings. He leaned closer to another two nobles in the room and continued. - He asked for a doctor a few times...

-Omg...it cannot be...

- We can use poison...and...when he would not be able to move...kill him and take the heart...

- ...

-My spy said that he is scheduled to see the doctor in s few days ...

-Oh...

-It would be our chance...

-Let's go...we should not be late.- Three nobles hurried to the royal hall. They have been summoned by the Immortal Emperor Sar'gen. However, everyone called him a bloodthirsty demon. Sar'gen, who lived almost 300 years and fought thousands of battles, ruled the Ilula empire using pure fear.

It was unusual, not often were people summoned to the royal hall by the Emperor. Sar'gen was sitting on the throne, looking a bit strangely lost in his thoughts. He looked the same for past hundreds of years, same long blond hair and piercing blue eyes, same black armor and the long swords of the Dark Worlds with a purple hilt by his side. However, everyone felt something unusual in the air.

None dared to talk; to be honest, even breathing in the same room with the Emperor was a difficult task for normal people.

-Ugh...such a pain...- Sar'gen leaned back in his high chair and closed his eyes. He was feeling with all his body that his end was getting closer. It started recently. Sar'gen knew that it would be coming for him with every passing century, and his heart grew colder and colder. Now, only a few feelings are left in him. A body that has no desire to protect and live would no longer be useful. Sar'gen was dying because he did not care about anything at all.

-Hahahaha...- Sar'gen laughed loudly. - What a fucking joke!!! Absolute fucking joke...my heart-Everything inside him was feeling empty and cold, so he could not even be angry at people who stood before him.

-What a hilarious rumor! Who spread it, I wonder? My heart? Eating my heart will grant immortality? Fucking awesome - Sar'gen was coughing on a laugh. - His heart? Hahahahaha

When was the last time that he felt his heart...hundred...not over two hundred years ago...when Vulal...died...Sar'gen closed his eyes...his older brother...he could only vaguely remember now his grief...even this strong emotion became just a dull memory... wonder over two hundred years passed now...His heart? Sar'gen touched his chest...he could cut out his heart without twitching....haha... would it be fun to see their faces if he did it now...hahahahahaWhat did he want to achieve? What did he want in his life? He could not remember anymore.

 Everything becomes dull...everything becomes dust... forgotten memories...lost feelings...

-Hmm... Empire...- Sar'gen stood up...- His empire that he fought to unite...this noble cause to create a peaceful empire...- Ha...- Loud laugh again condescended on everyone in the royal hall.
