Chapter 3: Fallen kingdom.
355 Words
I wake up in a graveyard. Where is this place? Why am I here? Right! The sedation dart! Why do I keep waking up like this though? Is this going to become a pattern? "Get up." A deep voice is booming. OH CRAP! IT'S THAT GIANT! I scrambled to my feet, almost falling twice. "You're finally awake." A strange voice. Who is that? It's a male voice, but it's not the giant. "Allow me to properly introduce myself. I am Naeve. Pleasure to meet you Orhan!" How does he…? Know my name? "Oh I can see you're confused!
However, I can read those minds who don't lock their thoughts behind a gate of spiritual energy!" OK, WHAT IS THIS GUY SAYING? SERIOUSLY! "Ah, I see you're confused! Worry not! Naeve is here to guide you! I heard you were going to take on the seven deadly sins from my daughter Eylul here." I'm confused about why I'm at a graveyard. "Hey uh Mr. Naeve or whatever, why are we at this graveyard?"
He seemed to pause, looking much more serious. This is the grave of my wife. God of death. You've met him, you know him. This is where everyone from my kingdom went after the siege. I was one of the three survivors. The God of death partnered with our enemies and killed almost everyone. I was too weak. But I will make sure your family, and you will never be too weak. And that's a promise." I have some serious questions needing to be answered!
"Hold on, you're telling me you're a king?" Naeve looks annoyed and says "Was. Before The God of death came and started the death war with the seven deadly sins. Now be ready. Your training starts tomorrow." WAIT HUH? "I never agreed to training!" Naeve looks at me, stone-cold and says "Then you release your spirit and pass on.
You'll go to hell, but your family will go to heaven. The choice is yours." The choice is mine to make. It isn't a hard one. "Alright. I'll do it. I'll train with you! I will save my family!"
