Legend of the Immortal

Eyes Meet

The man nodded in approval,"Good, good. I shall show you true proof then. This is undeniable and cannot be fabricated even with today's magic."

The man took out a grey orb, its size a little bigger than a male's hand.

"This is a scrying stone, i'm sure you've heard if it yes?" The man said, holding the stone up.

Gracie nodded, scrying stones were basically things which acted as a way to prevent thieves and assassins from escaping prosecution. They could record and hold information within them, making them popular to this day.

"Within this stone, from eras prior, contain records of that fateful day. Watch it."

Gracie put her hand on the stone and it lighted up.

The stored recording was shown.

-------

A man resembling the man before her appeared within the view of the stone.

He appeared bloody and was badly wounded, a pale look on his face.

Chasing after him were three people.

Two of which, Gracie recognised.

They were Nathan and Lucius.

Cornering the man, they had their weapons out, ready to kill.

This was when a woman, with hair pure as snow ran in.

It was Belle.

She grabbed both their capes and begged on her knees.

"Please! Please let him go! I'll take his place! I'll take his place! I'll give up trying to take the title of the apex of the world! You can be the ruler!" She screamed in agony as they kicked the man.

"Piss off wench! After i'm done with him, you're next! Its been a while since i've seen such a fine specimen." Nathan coldly spat out, licking his lips.

The man was getting visibly weaker, his eyes half closed.

"My Belle...knowing you has been my greatest pleasure...do not blame yourself for my...death..." The man said weakly as he coughed up more blood.

"August! Please let him go! Please!" Belle begged, her face a complete mess.

Nathan ruthlessly stabbed her shoulder, making her cry out in pure agony.

"I said PISS OFF!" He growled, slamming her a few meters away before storming back to torture that man more.

From the corner of the range of the stone, Gracie saw Belle drawing something in blood before murmuring some incantations.

Then, with a shaky hand, she stabbed herself in the chest.

Lucius and Nathan were outraged but traces of fear and apprehension appeared on their faces.

Belle's body spasmed uncontrollably as she convulsed.

Then, a shockwave blasted the stone away and the record faded to black.

The stone kicked Gracie out from her trance.

She was breathing heavily.
