The vast empty space. In all its majesty, the space has never failed to mesmerize, those who gaze upon it. The bright stars, the chilling atmosphere, the beauty of a meteor. Everything about the space is magnificently attracting.

Through this empty, cold universe, a black blur was speeding through the remains of a fallen planet. The speed of the black blur, was beyond anything this universe has ever seen. It left special distortions in its trail.

A gigantic planet, resting on one of the far ends of the mighty universe. The planet had many visible cracks on its surface. Lava was seeping out of the ground, the sky was filled with black smoke. Not a single lifeform was visible anywhere in sight.

The gigantic, once a flourishing planet was taking its final breath. Truly a sad sight. The planet had been home a various lifeforms, most of which were peaceful.

Deep within the insides of this planet, a man with red skin was sitting in a cross legged position. He was staring at the blackened sky, with an emotionless face. He mumble some words, in a foreign language, unhappy at the things that were happening around him.

“Why have thou forsaken us?” Cried out the red skinned man in rage.

“Why have thou denied us our lives?” The man continued to rage out at the empty, lonely sky. “Why, just have we done, that we deserve such a punishment?”

“How long do you plan to ignore me?” Tears fell from the man’s eyes.

“Answer me.” His eyes red with rage and sorrow. “Answer me ZARAKEIL.”

Just as the red skinned man finished shouting, the blackened sky rumbled. More lava started to spew out from the ground, and the sky started to shake violently.

Black smoke descended, from the sky. The black smoke smashed down from the skies violently. The black smoke shot out in every direction, eventually forming a humanoid figure from the remains.

The humanoid being had two eye slots and a mouth, and no other facial features. The figure stood at almost 2 meters, with a strong build. The figure was completely black, with a solid body. White lights came out from its eyes slots.

“Regidaze……..” The black figure spoke in an ancient voice, confused at what to say to the man in front of it.

“Lord Zarakeil, please you have to save this planet.” Begged the red skinned man, named Regidaze.

“Regidaze, it is not that I don’t want to save this planet. It is just that………. I cannot.” Said the being shaking its head in disappointment.

“That…..that….can’t..be..true.” Said the man named Regidaze falling to his knees, crying. “You’re the….the almighty ruler.”

The black being once again spoke. ”The being that caused this is far far stronger than me. I can’t even hold a candle to it.”

“Lena…..forgive me I wasn’t able to keep the promise I made to you. Forgive me. I’ll join you soon enough.” Said Regidaze, a small smile crept to his face.

“Regidaze, if you wish I can take you away. I allowed to take but one soul only.” Said the being named Zarakeil.

The red skinned man, named Regidaze rushed back into the cave, and returned with a small girl. This girl unlike the red skinned man, didn’t have red skinned, rather she has flawless snow white skin, and crimson red hair. She was about 5 or 6 years old.

“Lord Zarakeil, please take my daughter ‘Regina’ with you, in my place.” Said the man named Regidaze, kissing his daughter on her snowy red cheeks.

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

“..Father..” The cute girl had a confused expression on her face.

“Sweetie, you’ll have to go with Lord Zarakeil. He’ll take good care of you.” Regidaze, looked into his daughter’s deep red crimson eyes.

“..but I wanna stay with daddy.” Said the girl, teary eyed.

“hahah, sweetie daddy will always be with you.” Said Regidaze, his index finger touching her heart.

The little girl, Regina instantly cupped both her hand over her heart. Regidaze happy, by the gesture slowly moved away from her.

“Remember sweetie, mommy and daddy will always love you, no matter what.” Said Regidaze, as he vanished into the darkness of the dying planet.

“..Daddy..” Shouted the little girl, trying to break free of Zarakeil’s restraint. But just what sort of an existence was Zrakeil, that a little girl would be able to escape his grip.

She cried and cried. Eventually she cried herself to sleep.

“Regidaze, I swear upon the creation of this universe that for as long as I live no harm shall befall your daughter. I swear upon the heaven’s that morn for the loss of this planet, that I will make her strong.” Zarakeil’s ancient voice thundered throughout the dying planet, and the nearby planets.

Zarakeil slowly lifted her petite body, gently and flew off into the distance.

***********************************************

In one corner of the dying planet, Regidaze sat quietly awaiting the impending doom. He had already come to terms with the fact that he is going to die. He didn’t fear death, as he knew that he would join his beloved.

The only regrets of his life was that he will be unable to see his daughter. He closed his eyes, to recall the precious memories that he cherished. That’s all that he has left of his daughter and wife.

He recalled how he, met his wife for the very first time. She hated him at first, but slowly he managed to turn that hate into dislike. He would often try to woo her. After trying for countless years he finally managed to become her beloved. Then they got married, and eventually had a child.

Regidaze was a man who loved his daughter and wife very much. The death of his wife was a shocking blow to him. Never in a million years did he expect that such a catastrophe would befall his family and planet.

“If only I hadn’t done that………” Cried Regidaze regretting something he had done.

Just as Regidaze was recall the precious moments of his life, a strong force shook the dying planet to its very core. The extremely strong force, forcefully snapped him back to reality.

He looked up at the dark skies, to see what had caused such a strong force. In the distance he could see a black blur, moving at extremely high speeds.

“Red Eye” Regidaze’s forehead spilt revealing a third eye. Right now he could clearly see the black figure that was making its way through the empty vast space.

It was a……coffin! A lacquer black, chained up coffin.

“Just what in the world……?” Regidaze was at a loss for words, staring at the sight in front of his eyes.

The black coffin, passed by Regidaze’s dying planet, and shot off into the distance.

Regidaze, just realized what the black coffin resembled, and gasped at shock. The planet exploded!
