Lustre of Echo

1.0 - Separation

1.0 - Separation

I entered a huge castle in the kingdom of Leyloris. The sky was as dark as night, even though it was still day. The whole of Leyloris gave off the atmosphere of a gloomy place.

 When I entered the castle holding my sword, I noticed how huge the corridor was. 

The walls were dark, the paint was peeling off them in sheets, and on them were portraits of people I didn't know.

I wonder if it was one of these people who came up with such a bland name for this planet.

I continued walking through the corridor, the only thing I could hear was the echo coming from the sound of my shoes with each step.

Actually, if I wanted to, I could walk without anyone hearing me. I know that the person I'm looking for is already here.

I stopped in the middle of the corridor and started staring at the floor. The floor was very transparent because you can even see my reflection in it.

Okay, but that's not why I'm here.

I closed my eyes.Now is the time. Someone is standing in front of me, leaning against one of the pillars and smiling strangely. From the reaction of this person I can tell who he is. 

He is the king of this planet. 

Suddenly I felt a gust of wind in front of me. I repelled this attack with my sword. This fight lasted less than a second. The pillars in the corridor look like they are about to collapse. There was dust everywhere and nothing could be seen. The only thing I see now is that I won. 

I smiled, I finally succeeded in my last fight for the next decades. 

Below me lies Raeliyel himself, the king of this planet. Blood is flowing from Raeliyel's mouth and even from his eyes. I pierced his heart with one attack. Raeliyel lay below me, and I held my sword stuck in his chest.

This fight was definitely too fast.I had fought Raeliyel before, but he had always managed to escape somehow. He is a selfish and egoistic king who only thinks about himself. 

He had short, dark orange hair. He was dressed in Victorian style, which is characteristic of this planet. Whenever a war started, it was because of his own whims. 

My smile fell from my face when I saw that Raeliyel himself was smiling. I looked at my chest, which had just been pierced through by Raeliyel's hand.

 At first glance, I didn't pay that much attention to the injury he had inflicted.

" If you were going to kill me like that, then we'll both die now.", He said with a smile on his face.

" I know that the injury I inflicted doesn't worry you. I'll die now, you'll die in a while, Cethus hahaha!", he added.

" I know what you did on other planets and I know your goal." 

" Your goal is to resto... ", He didn't have time to finish his sentence and disappeared into thin air.

 There was no body left after his death.I was left alone. I slowly stood up and started walking towards Raeliyel's throne. I stood in front of the throne. I put my hand forward, opened my eyes wide. The color of my eyes changed from yellow to white. A white light started to emerge from the throne and the wind started to blow strongly towards me.

 This light began to gather on my hand and form into a crystal. I hid the stone in my pocket and headed towards the exit. I made sure once again if the blow Raeliyel gave me was just a bad imagination.
