Let Low-lifes Rule

I’m a king?

Ethan POV

I am lying under the sheets of the green grass trying to hunt down the wolf that keeps threatening the whole village. My hand is firmly gripping to the spear in my hand.

I hold the spear firm and keep my eye in check.

“Hey... Careful” I warn him while the lions and the wolves waged war at our front.

The site is a bit tense but it is enough to distract our prey. I move slowly forward while the rest of my warriors follows along. I keep giving them the signal and they did as I am commanding.

I have lived in the Tron village for ages and yet I do not know whom my birth parents is. Moving forward, my necklace dangles while it's features glowed and crystalled in the eye of the lions.

Ohh s**t!!

The sun is reflecting on the diamond shaped crystal that I found on my neck from birth; I assume.

The lions turn their attention to us while I cover the necklace immediately with my cloth.

It is already too late.

The lion roars at our direction while the wolves tries to flee, as to the fact that we had chased them from an afar distant.

We all stood to our feet immediately.

“Everyone, after the wolves. I'll face the lion.” I command.

“Are you sure you can face the lion alone?” he asks and I just glare at him.

He runs along with the other warriors, after the wolves.

The lions and me, I stand cautious of my surroundings and making no mistakes. I keep moving gentle while the lion keeps roaring with his teeth wide opened.

I hear a gun shot suddenly and it came from no certain direction. The lion stopped and cried while running away this instant. I still keep my crouching posture as not to expose my location.

The lion that tries to escape got hit by another shot from the gun and it fell immediately with its belly, his blood flowing while the others scatters.

“Run...” I hear my crew warriors that chased after the wolf scream. They all ran for me and I stood upright to confusion. What is going on?

As one of them past me, I held to his arm.

“What's going on?”

His breath heavy and his whole body trembling, he got shot through his heart and he falls on me. My eye open wide, my legs skipping backwards as others ran past me.

His body still crashed on mine, I fall to the floor.

“Ethan...” He calls to me and pulls me away from the body. “Get a grip. We have to run and warn the village.” my eye turns slowly to him from the body.

He keep pulling me until I got to my feet that starts its engine.

We all are running through the woods with our feet way above the flour, we run.

Some of them keep falling due to the branches of the trees that keeps stopping their movement.

We have no vision of our enemy.

The bullets keeps running through the air into our locations. As we run, some fell with their blood coloring everywhere.

No, we can’t just be running and dying like animals, we have to attack.

I turn back with the spear in my hand.

“Ethan! What are you doing?”Luke the young boy that kept pulling me earlier yell from my behind.

He got shot as he scream out my name.

I turned aburtly to him all confused again. Why did he have to call to my name? It was okay for him to run alone and leave me behind. It was so annoying that he got shot and now he had became a liability for me.

I withdrew back to hold him into my grasp but it is already to late for me to run to saftey.

I am surrounded in the mist of unknown strangers.

I stare at each one of them who constantly walked around me with their guns pointing straight to my face.

“Who are you people?” I asks and I got slammed from behind my head.

I hold to the spot as I turned to look at who strikes me but they were all silently walking around me while Luke lay in my hand on my leg.

“I'll kill you people.” with wrath in my voice, I pick up the spear previously in my hand and tries to attack.

I wrestle with most of the hunters and brought down six men who is holding their guns until I got slammed unconscious from the back of my head.

Hours had past when I woke up to the dark room I am inside.

My cloth is already torn apart and am halfway naked. I look to my right and see luke laying with bandages wrapped around his body on the floor.

He sure have suffer a lot from the bullet.

I stand to my feet, though I could still feel a lot of pain coming from the back of my head. My hand behind the head to show support, I frown my face a little.

“Anyone there?” I bang firmly at the gate. “Let me out!” I yell with authority.

Some guard suddenly appear from the dark to my face. I step backward and look at him cautious with no trace of fear.

He takes a glance of me and open the gate immediately.

What was happening?

I never meant what I said earlier and it is so surprising to see that my words were answered at the first saying.

“What's going on?” I ask the guard who opened the gates and he stood silent making a way for me.

He remain silent and keep his eye to the empty space, glued.

I walk out with my feet breathing quiet on the floor, I gave him my first glance and just walk all the way out.

If this was a way of setting me up into a more dangerous trap, I was way in for it.

I followed the dark passage into a bright light.

With my hand again, covering my eye from the fire torch, I found myself out in the mist of a very large crowd.

“Uhh...” They all murmur as they caught site of me. The we're all chanting at each other and creating a lot of noise, but when they saw me, the whole atmosphere became tensed.

Weird looks on their faces I walk to their front with my necklace dangling on my neck.

“Woww it’s all true.” Someone says breaking the quiet atmosphere. “The long lost king we’ve been looking for.”

“Uhh The king?”

“Yes, look at his neck.”

“All hail the king.” And they all bow to their kneel.

I was a king?
