Broken Crown (Afterdeath story)

Chapter 25

(Reapers POV)

The cold air stung against my hands tucking them in to the pockets of the thin jacket over my "Uniform" The boat swayed over the water as the fog thickened. Then our little boat hit land "we are hear sir, please be careful ill come back in a weeks time" I nodded and thanked him nervously stepping out the boat as it then disappeared in to the thick fog, Walking down over the snow I pulled out a compass I managed to grab before I left watching the Pin spin around briefly it landed North turning slightly to where I think the kingdom is I started to walk Looking around carefully for guards on patrol.

Breathing heavily I managed to make it to the kingdom Dusts castle Loomed over me casting shadows across the land, taking a deep breath I stepped forward muttering "come on reaper its to late to turn back now." walking in to the gates I heard a "HALT" I froze my soul beat quickened "What are you doing from your station do you have your papers?" Turning around to face a Gruff looking guard with scars over his face nodding and trying to remain calm I handed the Folded paper in my pocket he snatched it and read it over then grumbled handing it back to me"Alright carry on" turning and walking through the court yard I sighed in relief no one else questioned me.

After learning from other servants saying I was New I found that I would be assigned to delivering information which is exactly what I wanted to do, "Oh Death!" jeez what weirdo has a name like that I turned and Realized oh she talking to me I forgot that's what my name is while I'm undercover the young maid stepped forward "Did you hear the announcement?" shaking my head she grinned "King dust is making a announcement!" she beamed way to excited about this "Come on!" she grabbed my hand and dragged me down the corridors stumbling I regained my balance as we entered a crowded room full of the murmuring on servants and maids Trying to peer over to see what's ahead I slightly pushed forward getting a better view.

The room fell silent as I was still pushing through I finally got to the front "Silence every one!' "It has brought to my attention that we have some traitors among us" dust growled I looked around and so did everyone else looking back to wear dust was five guards flanking him "The thing is I want to show you all what we do to traitors." he grinned insanely clicking his fingers as A Very young boy not much older then 17 was dragged out and gagged the Monster boy was struggling I looked around no one dared to say a word "Guards please hand me a weapon" he held his hand out and the guard took a sword and placed the hilt of it in his hand Dusts smile widened  and the boy struggled harder he was frantic kicking and making muffled screams. It was. Hard to watch but I couldn't tear my gaze away the gage slipped off slightly and the boys final words rang in the air "The Resistance Will rise!" and he took his final breath as dust shattered his soul with one quick Motion of the sharp blade the crimson liquid stained the Marble Floors every one was shocked silence "Dose every one understand the consequence dust said showing no remorse for the life he took he cleaned the Sword wiping away the blood he Glanced at me "you!, Clean this mess up. Every one else is dismissed." and with that he left in to a room guards in tow and every one broke apart with hushed whispers.

Walking forward with a mop a servant handed me before they left to I began to wipe Away of what last traces of what was the boy, Great start to the day. and I already have blood on my hands  literally as I glanced down at both hands stained with crimson.
