"Good people of the empire! You all have gathered here today to witness the execution of the most terrible traitors since the humble beginnings of the empire!" a man dressed in white robe yelled out as he pointed his finger at the chained man that wore nothing but rags that stood beside him.

"This man is none other than the grandmaster of the silver wing order! Alexius Parthasus!" 

"Boo!!"

"Scum!"

"Traitor!"

"Die"

The gathered people started yelling curses at the man some even approached him and spit straight in his face, but the man didn't even flinch at such actions he just stood there unmoving.

You are all idiots you will kill the only man that fought for you, heh I guess I am an idiot as well because I did fight for scum like you, one word from the church and you all believe what they feed you.

The man thought to himself but said nothing or to be more precise he couldn't say anything his tongue was cleanly cut off before he arrived here.

"Well then let there be justice, may gods have mercy on your soul!" the priest dressed in white robes yelled out and nodded to the side.

Soon after two soldiers arrived they placed their hands on the man's shoulders and forced him down on his knees, they both stepped back and let the third soldier that just arrived stand beside the kneeling man.

"Do it!" the priest yelled and slightly grinned as the soldier took out his sword.

So this is how my life ends at the hand of the empire that I gave my whole life to, da...

The man's train of thought was cut off by a sharp pain he felt in an instant and then nothing complete darkness.

So this is death huh?

I wonder if I am gonna spend my whole eternity in this darkness?

Well, I guess I do deserve it.

Maybe?

The man spoke to himself everywhere he looked was darkness so it's not like he had anything better to do then talk to himself and think about his past life that came to an end thanks to a cold sharp blade.

The man named Alexius Parthasus was of noble birth for generations the heads of the Parthasus house were grandmasters of the Silver Wing knight order his father, his grandfather and so on.

Finally, the time came for Alexius's father to retire came and he took over as the grandmaster of the order, he gave his whole life to the order that served the great empire Talesia, for 20 years he stood as the head of the order until he was betrayed by his own.

Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website.

He was framed that he conspired with the enemies of the empire and with a little bit of evidence the Emperor himself sentenced him to death for his betrayal.

Alexius told them he was innocent and that he was framed, but the deciding blow came when a single person spoke up against him and that single person was his own younger brother.

He told the king about his plans and how he conspired with enemies of the empire naturally, Alexius didn't admit anything but in his anger and pain he cursed his brother for his betrayel, but the Emperor didn't like that and had his tongue cut off before he sent him to the dungeons where he would await his certain death.

Maybe now I will at least have some peace.

"Now what do we have here a lost soul so deep in the abyss? How interesting!" a dark and cold voice that belonged to neither female nor male spoke.

Alexius looked around him but he saw nothing he was confused he was certain he heard a voice just now is this place messing with his head now?

"I am the very thing you call darkness mortal and for some reason, your little soul ended in my domain, now what shall I do with you? Consume you? Torture you that sounds fun, right? Hmm any suggestions?" the cold voice seemed amused while it was thinking about what to do with Alexius.

I don't care.

Alexius spoke with a calm voice, he was already dead so there isn't much this thing could do to him anyway.

"Hahaha! How amusing but you are wrong about one thing foolish little soul, there are so many ways to inflict pain and agony on you, death is not the escape from the pain you know? At least not in my realm hehehe" the voice cracked a laugh.

Well....

Alexius was lost for words he didn't think that the being could read his mind like that or that pain was possible in the afterlife.

"Now before I decide to devour or torture you let's have a look at your past life shall we!' the being spoke before it stopped making sounds completely.

"Hoh well well betrayed by your own blood, my my don't we have some things in common hehe he" the being spoke in an amused but angry voice.

What do you mean in common?

Alexius asked in wonder, what could he and this thing possibly have in common.

"Well I was betrayed by my brother and sisters, you were betrayed by your own so yeah we have something in common, but enough about that I have a proposal to you, what do you say I bring you back to your world of course, a different body because yours is already dead you will be able to have your revenge and in exchange I want you to do something for me how about it?" the being explained its plans to Alexius and just waited for his answer.

Alexius pondered for a while before something burned inside him and he knew what that was very well it was his desire for revenge on the people that killed him and on the people that betrayed him.

And what do I have to do for you?

Alexius asked the being about its plans and what he wanted out of all of this.

"Huhuhu you will know in time, but now time for you to go and don't forget I will be watching you and hope you enjoy your new body its a little different!" the being spoke before a flash appeared before Alexius's eyes.

After a few moments he felt cold and he heard crying but he quickly understood that the crying came from him, he looked at the few people besides him.

One of them was a woman that still held a youthful face and honestly quite attractive, the other woman was older and had a wrinkly face what Alexius noticed the most was a towering man covered in animal fur head to toe, he had a long straight brown beard he looked at Alexius and smiled before he looked at the young woman that held him in her arms.

"So whats her name?" the man spoke.

Her?

"Her name is.." the young woman spoke with a smile as she looked at Alexius's eyes.

Her??

"Arnora!" the young woman spoke happily.

I should have known that being was up to something.
