The king stood up from his throne, the guards stood on defense. I focused on king I felt this dark presence sound me, it felt suffocating, revenge so close I could taste the iron on my lips. This new lust I've never felt before bubbled under my skin, I felt the walls of my damn crumbling. The barrier I've built up for years was breaking, my eyes were locked with his.
"Beast. You are not welcome here." He said loudly, my mouth refused to listen to my commands. The guards slowly approached me, my throat let out a low growl. I felt something slowly rethreading, my anger pulled at the dam; breaking it more. "You are nothing more than an untamed monster, child."
"I'm not a beast, nor monster, I am still Derya-Kin. I'm still a person." I growled out, my fist tightening. My eyes look around, I saw everything. The guards hearts quickened with blood flow, the small shifts in water molecules.
"You are not a Kin, you are a diseased animal. You are to be put down before your kind can breed." He growl out, I bit my lip holding back my anger the best I could.

I took a step towards him, I spear was suddenly pressed against my throat. The guards hands shook as my white eyes glazed over him, I study this guard. He was not high ranked or trained well, his stance was sloppy and could easily be over powered. "You're nervous." I breath out quietly, I saw his eyes widen and noticed his muscles tensing. My eyes go back to the king, "pathetic, you hide behind men that have nothing to do with our quarrel." I felt my skin heat up in a small burst as the spear was pushed from my flesh. The guard moves back, still holding his spear up. "How about you fight me, unless you think you can't win, all and mighty king." Sarcasm laced my voice.

He stood in front of me, magic sparked off his skin. Anger filled his eyes as his ego took the logic from his head. "You useless worm, if you wish a duel for the throne, then you'll get it." He growled out, the guards all lowered their weapons and stepped back. "I'm not someone to be trifled with."

He placed his crown on his throne and tied his hair back, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I quickly noticed that the currents around him started to act as a shield, I couldn't sense his blood cycle making this more difficult. I snapped the rest of the dam that was left, the power started to fill my senses. I quickly become overwhelmed with senses, so many movements and small changes. My eyes snap open as a jet of water passes my cheek by a hair, he now held a small dagger.

I push myself forward quickly and grab his throat pinning him to the stone wall, he grunts and stabs my side causing me to gasps and loosen my grip. He kicks me back and my back slams into a column, I curse slips from my lips. He lets out a deep laugh, I stand up. I form spikes of water and force them toward him, he moved his hand in a cycle making a small shield in front of him. "Pathetic." He growled out, "are you even trying?" My eyes lit up in anger, my skin lit up and ruins I didn't recognize. My anger started to consume me and my thoughts, my vision flashed with red.
"I'm pathetic? You're the one that stole my childhood from me." I pushed off the stone and slammed him into the wall, he grunted.
"I only did what was right. You killed your parents without a second thought." He laughed as he leaned forward, my arm pressed against his throat. "You slaughtered your family and then after that you were basically emotionless, you spoke nothing as I sent you to death. A child with this power will kill whomever they see fit." He smirked as his words dug into my skin, tears pricked my eyes.
"Shut up." I said through my gritted teeth, his shield started to faltered. The guards in the room started to fall to the ground, my eyes shift to them.

He gently ran the blade over my bare skin, and laughed. "Such a waste of a life." He muttered as my attention snapped back to him, I low animalistic growl leaves my throat. I snarl a little showing my for sets of K-9s off, he stopped the dagger on my mark of death. "Theses burns will never leave you, (L/N), I do thank you for deposing of your father. Saved me time." He smiled manically as I pressed closer, the knife pierced my skin. I felt this change in me, my vision tunneled and pulses of murderous intent filled my senses. "Your father was a criminal, I good one at that, never could get him for anything solid but after you killed him, I no longer had to bother with trying to catch him." He laughed darkly, my other hand grabbed his arm and violently ripped it from its socket. My mind was cloudy and on a high, it was high off adrenaline and animalistic instants.

My body moved on its own, he hollered as his shoulder was pulled out. He then laughed a little, "p-playing with your prey? How inhuman of you." He smiled showing his own smaller K-9s, his eyes were lax and mischievous. Malice dripped from every word he spoke, it egged me on.
"I'm NOT inhuman, you are." I growled out my voice loud and dark, my fingernails broke his skin. His blood started to fill the water, I insane smile stretched from ear to ear. I felt something grab my shoulder and wrap gently around my waist pressing against the where the dagger pressed against my ribs. The presence was welcoming and warm, I felt at peace in this strangers arms. The king's face looked to the figure and he looked scared, my curiosity started to take over my seething anger. "Kill him, my dear. Pull him down to my trenches. He'll be dealt with properly, he'll answer for all the people he's killed." My body stilled, the words this man whispered to me, stimulated my senses. Without a second thought my hand dug through his chest, his rip cage shattered. The king's heart was in my hand, it's fast beats of fear and pain pulsed under my finger tips.

My hand ripped away from him in a fast fluid motion, blood spilled into the oceans waters and he let out one last yell before dying on the stone floor when I dropped him. The hands of the mystery man still wrapped around me, the dagger was pulled from my side and it dropped beside the corpse of the king.
