The Three Laws

killer of gods pt 1

Isaiah hated this place . It was cold , it was wet and worst of all the food tasted like crap on a shingle . No one thought helios could get any worse after the ascension but with the death of the last ruler the once bright utopia was reduced to a dark and dreary hell hole . His advisor , a petite unbreakable type of woman , was going on about the quality of health care in his sector .

"you know its days like these i wish i killed my brother when he was younger " muttered Isaiah as he glanced at the sword behind his office chair .

To the uninitiated the sword was just a decoration a mere ornament to complete the décor of the room but only the sworn knew of the deadly capabilities of a blade in the hands of a judge . A smile crept onto his face as he remembered the first life he claimed with the blade he would never forget the look of surprise on the mans face when he tore through his men armed with nothing but a blade .

"sir are you even listening to me right now " the harsh voice of his advisor cut though his reminiscing . He spun around to meet the disapproving glare with a look of annoyance .

His advisor was a beautiful women who despite her wisdom and strength was barely over the age of 30 considerably young for an advisor to one of the crown princes .

"sorry i was thinking about something else"

"well you better be thinking about the blood lords proposal" her voice grew worried " they want a definitive answer this time "

Isaiah pinched the bridge of nose and let out an aggravated sigh .

"How long do we have until they send their ambassador?" said Isaiah through gritted teeth

"Im afraid that'll be on Sunday sir " replied the advisor her tone filled with dread " we cant stall them any longer isaiah we have to work something out"

Isaiah rose from his seat walked towards the sword hanging on his wall . his eyes ran down the length of the blade admiring its sleek design , even though it looked like a classic pendragon broadsword it had the weight and malleability of an eastern night blade.

" your going to agree to their terms arent you" said maria her voice barely above a whisper

Isaiah didn't reply instead he just kept staring at his blade almost as if it had the answers to their problem written on its edge

"Isaiah please tell me your not going to agree to those mo-"

Her protest was cut short by the sound of Isaiah smashing his clenched hand into his desk . the advisor had to sidestep to prevent the wooden splinters from entering her eyes .

"What would you have me do maria " shouted Isaiah " the bloodlords are the primary arms dealers to the royal family and without them we basically have - "

"Our souls " interjected Maria " the blood lords want 1000 children for their experiments "

"But is 1000 a big enough number to forget our duty to the king and queen "
Maria's mouth became a tight line

"Last time they took five hundred and only one child came back "she said " can we really explain to our citizens how they might never see their children again"

Isaiah couldn't find the words to argue he just continued to stare at his sword until Maria left the room.

"What the fuck am i gonna do " he said to himself "goddammit Sebastian where are you when i need you"
