I gripped my sword,the hilt dug into my fingers but made no move to draw it.I stood there helpless as they circled her like hungry wolves,the first to strike her was Felix ,his lips pulled back in a dangerous grin.The king's official torturer had my sister and the thought of his hands on her made my blood burn in my veins.
Her screams filled the hall,blood roared in my ears.I had gone still with the scene I beheld.She had raised her hands to protect her head only those hands were no match for those damned rods.
After what seemed like eternity the king ordered to stop.My body shook with rage for the king and for myself.If I hadn't been so weak she wouldn't have had to suffer.She laid there on the floor unconcious,her chest rose and fell slightly.
My eyes burned with unshed tears.I tasted blood in my mouth where I had sunk my teeth to keep myself from screaming.The King rose from his perch on the throne and started towards me lazy-like and mocking and stopped few feets away.I dragged my eyes from my sister and met his icy blue ones.I knew that my eyes shone with all the fury I felt,he flinched or I thought he did,like he has anything to fear of me.He kept his distance and glared at me.
"Look at what you have done to your sister"not trusting myself to speak I just stared at him.
"Was your sister's misery worth the life of that whore.You might be the strongest warrior but you are too soft at heart"Each words fell from that filthy mouth flared my anger into a dangerous level,I felt something writhing beneath my skin,it felt strange.I felt like I was being pushed to my limit,like I am at the edge of a cliff and a single shove would have me tumbling down and what resides beneath remains a mystery.
I tried to calm the restlessness in my bones and focused on the king
"If you want your Sister breathing you better not let yourself out of line champion"That word felt like a slap on my face and the insult was a brand on my skin and with each passing day it burned deeeper and darker.l swallowed and said"Yes your majesty".
