Lineage of the Sword

Oh wait, I hate this bitch

This bitch is sleeping. I, on the other hand is fixing up the damn raft. By the way you might again think why she didn't find my lineage. Oldy Alvin actually had disguising relic which is a bracelet made of mana rock with rune drawings. The reason why the pirates didn't take it away was it just looked like an ordinary rock. Hey, it can change my hair color to the way my small toe should slant. You think it can't disguise itself? Well yeah I changed my hair color. Only thing it can't disguise is - My eyes. It is mostly because I suffer from heterochromia. But there could be other reasons as well since we are talking about ancient magic here. Ancient Magic, Runeology or Rune drawing is a kind of magic that was discarded by modern people since they used to consider this as inefficient but what they didn't know was the amount of time a ancient magic can last. Rune are the elements in this magic. It's like an magic circle but this is mostly like a language rather than geometry. The thing about ancient magic was unless you are a superior mage you cannot materialize mana and even if they do materialize it is unstable. Since there are faults there are bound to be gains. The best parts of rune are that they can be used for amplification of properties, especially natural phenomenon. Think about it you have a torch which is lit. If you put mana into it you can amplify it by materializing it using magic. But runes, amplifies it by accelerating the consumption of resources. So if you have enough resources you can amplify anything for infinity. So rather than people using runes for battlemages, they are now mostly used for research and other mundane stuff like cooking or farming. Still there are classification in runes. They are Known and Unknown Rune language. How original right?! So like the name suggests, known runes are things we currently use while unknown runes language are runes where we do not know how they function, kind of like this bracelet. That's why they are called relics. The main reason why they are unknown is because there are no records of these languages since it was discarded the books containing information about them long ago. But people are dumbasses anyway, so...

Back to my situation, I finished building the raft and picked up some kids who are both alive and have retained there sanity. The women were just lost. They just said take the children and just don't look back. They said someday someone will come and save them and I should go before they change their mind. I was skeptical of that though. They knew not all of them can escape. They just didn't want the children to suffer. Then there is that fucking bitch. Who was so selfish that she wanted to kick the kids out of the ship. Thank god she was injured to the point where it was difficult to walk.

"Next time you try something, You will be the one who will be kicked out. Do you hear me?" I asked.

"You think you have the guts for that, commoner?" Elle asked.

"Want to try me? You saw what happened to that guy with the loud mouth?"

"Do whatever you want. I just want to escape."

"Oh no I didn't know that" then I whispered with a hint of sarcasm.

 "Dumb Bitch". I don't know why, i just want to call her a bitch. I can't even fork up enough energy to make an original insult.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing"

Then I started to lower the raft slowly to the water, then she jumped to the boat first then the rest of us also started boarding the raft. After all of them were boarded we then started rowing the boat. Guess who didn't row the boat. You guessed it- Elle. But hey most likely we are gonna be stuck on this raft for a long time. I don't want to ask her why cause she might start doing her usual behaviour again with more vigor. That is being a bitch.

We then gained substantial distance from the ship. But suddenly I started hearing splash sounds. I looked back and saw the bitch was torturing a child. She was suffocating one by immersing him in water.

"Yeah, say I am evil again you brat." Elle said. This caused the kids to start crying.

"Oi, stop that or I will kick you out of the raft."

"Empty threats only"

Then she kicked me out of the raft. Fun fact: She had already healed. She just didn't want to row the boat. I started drowning but fortunately I gained my composure and controlled myself by just floating then I saw she was kicking every single child out of the boat as well. And I saw them drowning. I saw the children fluttering in the water. They didn't know how to swim and couldn't breath. They were just drowning. I started to remember myself in that situation. I don't know where those memories came from but they were steering me into a state where it was hard to control myself.

After a long time, I felt anger. I saw why I hated that mansion. Then I felt something. Like another being was controlling me. A being that I was familiar with, but haven't seen in a long time.  Then I felt like I was holding a sword. I didn't even know how use a sword. Then my body suddenly started brimming with both mana and aura. The flow of mana was soothing,it was like my body was recovering from a long term fatigue. While building up of aura was painful. It was like my body has been exercising for 10 years and all the muscle pain came in just a second. All the pain was only in my mind. Eventhough very painful my body was not responding to my calls of hurt. It was just acting on it's own. My body then jumped out the water and then started walking on water to her. I unintentianally started releasing my killing intent. It is a type of aura you will get after killing more than a 100 people. The process of getting this aura itself is comparable to mental torture. The perk is that the aura is inherently can cause ffear to those who are less powerful than you but can also be used on more powerful opponents since it still can be used to distract the opponents. She was stunned. I unintentionally then used the water magic to pick up the kids and put them back on the boat. Then I put up a air barrier that cancels out sound from the outside. I didn't even know I was capable of that. I then finally started to walk towards her.

"Why did you do that, Elle? You kicked me out. That's fine. But why the kids?"

"I am sorry. I am sorry, please don't kill me."

"YOU DIDN'T GIVE ME A REASON, BITCH."

She then scaredly said "They were commoners I didn't want to sit next to them, I am sorry please don't kill me."

"COMMONERS THIS, COMMONERS THAT, WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN? YOU HAVE BEEN DISREGARDING THE f SINCE YOU STARTED WORKING AS MAID IN THE MANSION AS A COMMONER TOO YOU STUPID BITCH!"

"How do you know that I used to be a maid?"

That was when I deactivated my disguise by cutting out the mana supply from the relic. My Black silky hair which was long enough to tie to a bun. For the first time in my life I lifted my chest and told her

"Do you remember me Elle? The kid you started bullying under Larson's order is still alive. He is not dead or neither is he willing to die. You still want to say something?"

"Y-Y-Y-Y-Young M-M-Master Quentin? What are you doing here? We thought you-"

"No. I am not dead also how is my so called family doing? Still rascist I presume?"

"I am so sorry Young Master, Please don't kill me. I will do anything, I will be your slave, you want my body? I can give it to you as well?"

"After all you did, this is all you have to say for yourself?"

"I am sorry young master. Wait, the reason you have commoners blood is your mother's fault. Yes, let's take revenge on her. She was also a very bad person to you as well. Even when your death was announced she was laughing saying that she lost a burden. She is totally insane. Yes, not just that let's kill your father as wel-"

Next thing I knew it was me slicing her head off. I really killed her by my own hands. I really did this didn't I? But why didn't I feel any regret? I thought fighting disgusted me.

That's when some memories started to flow into my head. My escape from the mansion.
