Evil Reincarnated

Master of Life

Mazavir POV

I groan, opening my eyes. The light blinded me but I refused to close my eyes again. Everything hurt, I could feel searing heat like fire across my chest. I squirm but that only made the pain worse.

That's how its been since Vexel and I fought. I felt nothing but pain shooting through my body each time I awoke. Sometimes Vayle was there, sometimes Ezara, sometimes strangers. This time, it was someone new but someone I recognized.

The man who put me where I was. The man who changed my life forever. By the looks of it, I wasn't recovering any time soon if I even recover. He was the one who did this to me. He was the monster that would've ended my life without a second thought.

"No." I muttered but I didn't even recognize my own voice. It was hoarse and it sounded foreign. I try to take a deep breath but the breath trembles and pain shoots through my body again.

Vexel stands over me, a concerned look on his face. I couldn't tell what he was feeling or why he was feeling it but I didn't like it. I didn't like that he was standing over me, concerned about me. I didn't like that he was here, staring at what he did to me.

"No." I mutter again. "Not... you." I didn't want to admit it but I was terrified. I was terrified that he was here to finish what he did. I was afraid he was here to kill me.

Maybe a part of me was hoping my fight with Lilith would kill me. Part of me was hoping that I would be reunited with Lyzla in whatever afterlife existed for us. I wanted nothing more to be with her just days ago. Now I didn't know what I wanted. I cared about Vayle more then I wanted to admit but I also cared about Ezara. How would they feel if I died? I had no idea. Would they just move on? Would they be devastated?

I close my eyes, waiting for something to stab me through the chest. Waiting for an unbearable pain to shoot across my body. I was waiting for the darkness to become permanent. After a few moments, I open my eyes again. Vexel still stood there, staring down at me. He didn't say a word, he didn't respond to my muttering. Maybe he didn't hear me.

I try to clear my throat. It sounded weak and pitiful. "What are you doing here?" A voice says. They were angry and unwelcoming. "Leave now. This is a sacred place and you're not welcome here."

Vexel turns his head towards the voice. I didn't dare move. He doesn't say a word. I heard footsteps moving closer. There was a man. He wore the attire of the cathedral of light. I was in a place of Inarius' influence. That's why Vexel wasn't welcome. He was a necromancer and they knew it.

The two stare at each other. Knowing Vexel, I expected him to attack the man. "You wouldn't attack me here." Vexel says quietly. His voice was guarded, no emotion showing.

The man looks from Vexel to me. He sighs in defeat. "I won't attack you here but I won't be welcoming either. I want you gone. If you do anything to him I won't turn the other way. I will order your death."

"I'm not here to harm him." Vexel says, glancing back at me. "If I wanted to kill him, we wouldn't be talking."

I groan as I move, rolling into my back. "Don't move." The man says, turning his attention to me. Vexel does the same but he doesn't say a word. "You need to rest."

I shake my head, ignoring the pain it sends my way. "He needs rest and you need to leave, now." The man says to Vexel.

"Step aside." Vexel says, pushing the man out of his way. He steps closer to the bed I was on. I wanted to move away from him. I wanted to run. He wanted me to be conscious and awake before he ended me. I understood now. He probably wanted to watch me feel pain.
