Chapter: 1 “beginning for an end”

I was trying to scream “mother, father.” But an old man had shut my mouth off, I didn’t have much strength since I was only five years old. I didn’t have enough strength since I was born in a slave yard, which is enclosed in big walls, guarded by armored guards. here we don’t even have food to fill our stomach.

That’s why mother and father thought of escaping for my better future, but we got caught.

And for trying to escape, there was only one punishment, and that was “death” in front of all slaves, to set an example, if you did the same, then you will face same circumstance, and you will die too.

And that was on top of wall, where there was execution platform, and my mother and father head was there, with tears in their eyes. There was a big black man holding a big sword to cut their heads off whenever he is given signal.

All slaves are looking at them while murmuring and talking “what did they do.”, “did they tried to steal food.”

“Did they oppose guards.”

But no one had the guts to ask them face off, guards were laughing on them, they were loving this.

A bald headed, with unsettled moustache and big stomach, like he has eaten the food which slave deserves. Wearing good clothes and golden rings, jewelries.

He came and put his foot on father head.

“General sauté is here.”

“We are doomed.”

“don’t tell me, we have to pay for their crimes too.”

“General sauté: do you know why are all of you people are gathered here.” No one speaks, he laughs himself “I know you fools don’t, because all of you are fools.” laughs, all guards laugh too with him.

The way of his speaking was sharp, which is hard to even listen.

“General sauté: you all didn’t laugh, was that not funny for fools like you.” Everyone laughs forcefully.

No one knew, when he wanted them to laugh, when to not.

“General sauté: that’s enough, your laugh stinks.” Everyone stopped laughing, because guard pointed their weapons at them.

“General sauté: let me tell you.

why these two stinking, filthy, gross slaves like you are here.”

People start murmuring, whenever people attention stopped from him, it always made him angry,

Sauté looks toward an archer in anger and tell him to shoot, he shoots from above the wall, which was about 60 to 80 feet.

Archer shoots, it stabbed a person in the heart, all people got scared and made distance from him, his wife looking at him crying, but the man was already dead.

General sauté with disgusted looks gives signal “shoot her, seeing that disgusts me.”

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

Archer bows and releases which hits in her head and she died on the spot too.

People looked terrified, feared, scared, they all were fearing for there life, no one there wanted to die.

“General sauté: I have told you a thousand times, never speak, when I speak.

But you slaves, never understand.” Sighs like he was exhausted or did something good “where was I, yeah.” He looked at my father and mother, and then sees all slaves down “these two fools tried to escape last night.

But my loyal guard caught them, while they were trying to escape.

And as all of you know, what happens to person who defied me and my laws.

I have told you; your absolute law is following my order.

But these two foolish slaves” kicks father “tried to defy me.”

“And when you defy your law, there is only one punishment for that.

And that is death.”

I wasn’t able to do anything, I was young, small, weak. I was just seeing them from down there, crying, trying to leave from old man hands. But he wasn’t letting go of me.

“General sauté: and today, again.

I will set an example for all of you, that if you defy me.

What happens to all of you.”

General sauté takes two steps back and gives big black man with sword signal.

Black man walks forward without any hesitation, he had smile on his face too, he enjoyed doing this. He takes his sword in air and swings it down to hit both mother and father head of in one swing.

My eyes opened; I was sleeping on an iron roof of a bar. It has already been 12 years since my parents died. And now I am 17 years old, wearing these black clothes, a black long coat, and wielding this black sword.

A woman sound comes from down, she was crying and asking for help.

There are guards drinking, woman is lying on ground crying “please let me go, my son is alone, he is only 2 years old.”

“That doesn’t concern us.” Guard, drinking alcohol. Another guard “she is beautiful” while touching her face.

“We will let you go once we enjoy.”

Bar tender while pouring drink “let me have some enjoy too.”

“Yeah, yeah we will let you.”

The guard who brough her “it is not for you fools, we will gift her to general sauté. If we do, he might reward us and even promote us.”

“that’s great idea.”

“Looks like it is time” puts a broken hard black mask on, I jumped on the roof and next second I was in the bar standing beside girl.

“Who are you.”

“That mask, he might be shallow mask.”

“Shallow mask?”

“He is killing guards one after another, every night.

You all are new, that’s why you people don’t know about him.”

“Killing guards”

“General sauté has even put a bounty on his head, whoever brings his head will get 1 million zur and promotion.”

All guards pick their swords “looks like a great night, we can gift him that woman and his head.”

I said “confident”

One of guards replied “we are 15 and you are alone.”

A guard came charging towards me, I told woman “Close your eyes”.

I drew my sword and cut his head off without any hesitation, all guards were surprised.

Other guards come charging towards me in anger, I dodged and cuts his hand, his sword fell on ground. He screamed and I cut his head off.

Other guard tried to stab me from behind, but I felt it and dodged and stabbed my sword in his heart.

Other remaining guards took few steps back, one tried to run away from board. But I threw my sword at him which got to wall piercing him.

“you bastard” guards charged.

They tried to use while I am unarmed, but I used their own sword against them, two guards tried to attack me at same time.

I pushed their hands and they stabbed each other like fools, blood was flowing out of their mouth and from stabbed place like water.

They were trying to attack me, but I was dodging and making them stab and kill each other, one after another.

They were dying like fools, they didn’t know how to wiled a sword, using it was a big thing for them.

I picks my sword from wall, the man my sword was piercing fell on my feet, I walked over his face.

Now there were only two man remained, one man picks woman pointing his sword at woman throat “don’t take a single step forward, or I will kill her.”

I said to him without a single doubt in my mind “what makes you think, I came here to save her.

I came here to kill you people; she lives or die.

Doesn’t matter to me, what matters to me, is that you die.”

Both guards were scared, they were scared to death “please let us go, we won’t do anything like this again.”

I scratched my head and “huh, fine.

I will let one of you go. But other has to die”

Guard killed other guard who was holding woman.

And when he turned towards me, his head was already fallen of his head.

“I never said that it will be you two, I meant her.”

I was standing in middle of head chopped of bodies, blood on ground.
