Chapter 1- Tragedy

Chapter 1- Tragedy

It was quite an ordinary day, sun hung high and not even a smallest cloud could be seen in the sky. Only on the day like this if one looked attentively in the sky one could see never ending, vague, peculiar patterns that converge in one spot, this is what makes sun in this world.

It is said that long time ago there was deity who in order to keep immortals from controlling mortal world in a battle gave up one's life to build this grand formation, but sadly after countless billions years, everyone long forgot the name of this grand formation and deity who sacrificed one's life.

At this very day, there is a boy running through the field with shaking legs and face full of disbelief, fear, and countless other mixed emotions. After spotting roof of the tallest building in the Greentale village, his speed once again reaches it's maximum while running he started to shout

"F...fathter father!!! Sis... they killed sis!"

People who were near border after hearing this shout dropped all their works and like a gust of the wind started to run to that boy. "Kila what happened?! Who killed Lina? Tell me faster." person who was nearest Kila spoke, after some time whole group of people gathered from all village including Kila's father who was most distressed after hearing boys shout.

"Kila where is Lina?!" Kilas father face held despair and disbelief. After taking breath with shivering voice boy spoke only few words that made his father's whole body shiver uncontrollably.

"Father sis is... sis is dead, they killed her, soldiers killed here!" while saying those word Kila didn't even feel when tears started to roll down his face, that scene when his sister was gutted with a knife before his eyes, those soldiers laughing around with aura full of savagery and bloodlust, his sisters eyes, filled with countless regret, pain and worry for her brother, were burned in the deepest part of Kilas heart. 

When villagers heard what Kila said all of them started to panic, cry in shock.

"Soldiers are coming, soldiers are coming!! Quick, quick save your lives!"

Some people started to run in hopes to save even a tiniest bit of their belongings, some just stood at one spot with minds full of panic to the point that their legs stopped working.

Kilas father looked at his son with clenched fist and said with voice full of anger "Kila quick, run to our house and hide, no matter what don't come out" Kila nodded his head, but then he said " father, I want to fight,  they killed sis! I need to fight!" Kila shouted.

When his father heard these words his expression grew solemn and he said in angered voice " what a 10-year kid like you can do against army? Didn't you hear what I said? Just go and hide!" But at that point it was too late, a person with bloody robe and messy hair, aura leaking killing intent to the point where people would vomit blood from feeling that aura,  stood about 10 meters from Kila. What frightened Kila the most was bloody hands and smiling face.

This person appeared out of nowhere, which made Kilas father pale like a sheet of paper, when he wanted to say something he felt ground trembling below his feets and countless soldiers marching in their direction, to ten years old Kila this scene frightened soul out of him, but he quickly regained his composure and looked at the person with blood red eyes like ferocious beast that would attack at any moment.

"Why have you come to our village?" Kila's father said looking at that man with eyes full of hatred.

" Ha ha, no need to ask we are here to take all of this village boys and kill everyone else," the bloody robed man said with indiferent smile while looking at Kila.

"My, what a killing intent from this kid, what's your name little boy?" Man said again.

Kila didn't say a word instead his father replied " Did you kill my daughter?" his eyes looked at that man like beast looking at his prey.

"Fu*k of I'm not talking with you!" the man frowned and fixed his eyes on Kila again."Kid if you go with us, I Hivers, give you a word that everyone will have painless death"  Hivers said with smile and looked at Kila's father who just now stood in front of Kila wanting to protect him. "You won't take my last child!" Kila's father said with firm voice, instantly Hiver's face was full of anger, moving like a gust of wind he arrived in front Kilas fathers, it's hard to imagine how fast one should move to traverse 10 meters in a blink of an eye.

"You, lowlife, die!!" With one hand movement he struck his hand into Kila's father's chest and like cutting cheese, it came out from the back, instantly giant hole was present in father's chest, after a moment of silence he fell on the ground without any sign of life, his lifeless eyes staring into boundless sky. When Kila saw this scene his face shoved absolute panic and he shouted "father!!!" This was a second devastating blow to him that made his mind totally go numb so he attacked Hivers out of instinct, but then his mind went blank.

" Well this kid saw enough for today," Hivers thought to himself, then he picked up Kila like lifting a life and carried him to his horse. "Everyone listen up, kill all adult men and women, leave only boys and girls, take few girls to play for yourself and leave others to me, do you all understand?" His army nodded and with few movements started to massacre people in the village. Shouts could be heard from few miles away, some people were gutted like pigs but stayed alive just for a breath’s moment just to see their own organs lying near them. Heads were flying there and there, little children cries for they family members could be heard all over the Village.

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

After few hours villages was dyed dark red from congealed blood all over the ground. And no other trace of that friends army could be seen, perhaps they went to massacre another village.

Half a day later on the road to northen great empire of Deol, which is number one empire in whole Stardust region, there was a big line of marching soldiers, in the midst of them there where cages where you could hear boys crying and shouting for their relatives and friends.

There was not even one girl amidst those captives. Earlier when Hivers ordered to capture young girls, he did that for his and his subordinates pleasure and amusement.

KIla's closed eyes suddenly open and with a splitting headache not knowing what happened to him he looks around just to find himself in the cage all alone, at that moment his confused mind drifts back to those gruesome scenes how his father and sister died unjust death, rage starts to build up in his heart, but he clearly knows that child like him could do nothing to those people, but to a little child's mind just thinking about getting revenge right now is not enough.

"I'll kill you! I'll kill you all! give back my father, give back my sis! Aaaahhh..." he falls on his knees nails in poorly made cages wooden floor sink in into his knees, but he doesn't even pay attention to that his heart is already full of boundless pain, little external pain can't even compare to it.

"Shut up!" one of the soldier rebukes Kila, but he doesn't stop shouting, so that burly soldier takes out his whip and prepares to hit Kila. His whip moving with such speed that it becomes just a red blur, but strange thing is before hitting Kila this red whip stops a person is standing in front of Kilas cage, it's none other then Hamers.

"Didn't I clearly state to all of you that you can't touch this child?" which angered tone he sais to that burly soldier, who becomes so scared that he even forgets how to speak " M... M...Milord, I'm sorry, it won't happen again"  with a pale face that burly man looks at Hivers who just lets out slight "hump" and walk closer to Kilas cage, that soldier that walks to another corner of a cage not daring to disturb Hivers.

"Kid last time you didn't answer my question, so tell me what's your name?" Hiver Golden eyes stared at Kila with clear interest, but Kila didn't mutter a word, this made Hivers quite angry, but after a time it takes to take a breath he said again " I must say to a kid like you, not fearing me after seeing what I did to your father, I must praise you"  It's not that Kila didn't fear him, but that Kila felt so much hatred against these people that he didn't give any chance for fear to sway him in any way.

"sight" "Kid you better get along with your uncle Hivers, because where are we going is worse than hell for brats like you" he took a look at Kila once again,  he clearly felt slightly annoyed because of Kilas attitude towards him. If it was any other person he, a general of northern empire of Deol would have killed a person with attitude like that, but right now it was different, he found himself liking this kid, and secretly praised him for Kilas lack of fear.

Two days passed and they entered Deol empire. One must know that Kilas homeland was Tonju kingdom situated near Deol Empire, while it was called Kingdom, it's size was massive, likewise, Deol and other four great empire were even bigger. Most of these children were living quite close to the border between Deol empire and Tonju kingdom, this was one of the main reason why they got captured and brought to Northen empire.

climate at the northern empire was quite worm at first and children didn't feel any discomfort, but following their journey to the northern part of the content, climate got colder and colder.

Day ten came and in the morning six children from age 15 to age 5 were thrown out of caged horse wagon frozen stiff, some with frozen legs or arms, where left on road to die with their frozen friends.

Every day Kila saw children thrown out of wagons like trash "road of death" he thought to himself, most fo the children who froze to death didn't have warmer clothes, some wore short sleeve shirts, shorts while children with slightly warmer clothes like Kila, none, including Kila, felt very warm, hypothermia was common thing in this "road of death".

None of these children knew where these people are taking them. Kila could no longer endure this torture and asked Blood robed Hivers " where are you taking us?", when Hivers said this his face had a big smile and he said with laughter " You finally spoke! I began to think that you lost your voice. Well, it's not a secret, we are going to the training facility, where you'll be trained to be a soldier who of course will serve to our Deol empire".

Kila was startled for a moment " to become a soldier?", "I will never be a soldier for your country!" Kilas shout heard everyone in few hundred meters vicinity and so a lot of people looked at Kila. Hivers frowned his one brown and said: "Alright, alright, no need to shout, well see about that, so kid, what's your name?"

 " I won't tell it to killer" Kilas face displayed deep enmity against Hivers who just chuckled and didn't say anything anymore.

three days later the arrived at gate which was about ten metres high and seven metres with , doors of this gate were so thick that even one person wouldn't be able to hug it from one end to another, it made people wonder how did they place such a huge gate doors, most bizarre things was that these gate doors also had shining azure patterns all over them which made them look like doors to a god realm in little kids eyes.

"We finally arrived" some soldiers exclaimed happily while looking at the gate doors.

"Open the gate!" Hivers shouted.

"Oh, It's senior Hivers, please senior wait a bit, we will open the gate immediately" Guards on the wall saluted Hivers and hastily began to open the gate doors.
