A quiet song couldn't be heard over the snow-ridden kingdom. The song consisted of the symphony of blades scraping across flesh. The spatter of blood hit the stone floor. The song numbed out by the naiveness of everyone. Outside that room, I sat with a rather vulgar boy. He looked rather young, younger than me I suppose. The boy seemed to be swinging a sword around. He seemed to have slipped and hit himself. He recoiled in pain with only a slight mark. His pale complexion told me his wound was greater than what the eye could see.
I would consider myself rather jolly, well I would be if I didn't know the fate that awaited me inside the throne room. They surely were going to execute me, I was the last living member of the crime family known as the Watchers. Granted, I was forced as one of the leaders was my dad and I never did anything but that is surely why they summoned me.
King Elanuelo, greatest asset at least in his mind was control. Control isn't easy, especially when a small percentage of our population had unique gifts otherwise known to the kingdom as 'Exousia'. Mine, for example, was one of mimicry. One person in my sight I could copy their power. Not fully it was always a weaker version, and I knew nothing about their power when I copied it. The year is currently 254 and my name is A$#26e. Two guards sat between me, and the exit. There was no way out and my rather oblivious currently crying blue-haired friend hadn't a care in the world. I sighed, "What's your name anyway.".
The boy's tears stalled for a moment, "Wobbuffet, I'm just excited to become a knight.". The tears from the slight scratch did not reassure me of the kingdom's future.
"Maybe I am just being a pessimist", I thought to myself. There is no way they would execute me for my previous watcher affiliation maybe they are trying to recruit me to their Aculon youth program. Sidefall had told me about that, he seemed he was joining but didn't seem all that interested. The program was to train the younger generation of Aculon to become future knights. They somehow knew he had powers so I'd assume the same would go for me.
The knights were the superpowered powerhouses all under the thumb of Elanuelo with various ranks. The lower ranks patrolled the surrounding villages that surrounded Aculon. The higher ranked the person the more powerful they were.
I snapped back to reality as a voice told me and Wobbuffet to "Follow in Silence.". I looked to the source of the voice only to find a man I recognized as the prince ItzzEnder. I and Wobbuffet seemed to have got the advice as both of our mouths seemed to be locked shut. He led us into the throne room and Elanuelo greeted us, "Ahh, Yes the boy who wouldn't stay dead Wobbuffet. That incident sure caused a bunch of panic.". Huh- I wonder what Elanuelo could have meant by that.
Did this blue-haired kid have the power to avert death?
The king laughed to himself before directing his attention towards me a snarl entered his voice, "And you, Son of the Watchers I ought to kill you right here. I'll give you one chance because I'm nice. Ender bring him out.". The prince made a swish-swashing motion before I came face to face with my dad who had seemingly teleported. He was badly bruised and tied up. Ender appeared beside me as he handed me a knife.
Panic entered my voice, "Wh-ats this for". A sadistic smile grew on Elanuelo's face, "I think you know. Prove to me your loyalty. Kill your father.". In my panic, I didn't even notice the blue-haired kid giving me a nasty side-eye. I fell to my feet as water dripped down my face. The blue-haired kid from earlier had been rapidly approaching my father with the sword he had been swinging earlier. He angrily mouthed out, "YOU THE ONE WHO KILLED ME. I REMEMBER YOU CLOWNPIERCE WASN'T IT.". He swung his sword and before my father could respond his head was on the floor. He had been killed by an angry child.
Elanuelo spoke his voice shaking the room, "Shame The great CLOWNPIERCE dead to a child. Shame A3@&&E wasn't the one to do it. Anyways Ender you know what to do.". Ender teleported behind me, "Sorry Kid". I reached out for Wobbuffet before it all went black.
