“I have sacrificed everything for the rising of my nation, but more importantly the bringing of the ideal world of peace. I never wanted to see anyone suffer, so I decided to take things in my own hands when nobody else would. Those very hands has created peace and tranquility into reality….On that fateful day, I died-but it was ok, death is inevitable, in fact it was a relief- it’s a sign that one has reached their purpose in life. I knew death would come for me and that only tells me that my duty to bring peace into this world was complete. I…am…happy, now it is time for me to sleep among the city of the dead, so…let…me…sleep”

“Oh~ dear Vaaaance~. Please wake up. Awake from your eternal sleep for the very reason that this world needs you.”

Everything was dark, but I heard a seductive voice. In anger I replied “No I am dead and I must stay dead. My purpose in life is over. So begone you dreadful spirit. BEGONE.”

“Dear Vaaaance~, they need you. I am the one true Goddess of Death and I say you are needed to kill someone.”

“Curse you!!! My life is not needed, I have brought peace and I am done. Bring another to do your wicked deed.”

*sigh* “There is no other…the king has murdered every child that I chosen to rebel against the king. It is unfathomable to bring a hero at this rate. So I beg you as the Goddess of Death behalf of all the dead children and infants under me to rid of the tyranny and bring back the world that was once at a state of peace.”

King? Murder? Children? My noble heart got the better of me. Those words do NOT belong together at all. How DARE this-this wretched baron defile my nation, the MASTERPIECE of MY SWEAT AND BLOOD. I felt rage weld up inside me. A unquenchable thirst for revenge for a king-no wretched demon who does not represent the dignity of a king that is supposed to care for his own people. A King Is a title given to those who were BORN with a purpose AND SACRAFICED for the same purpose-which is to protect the people. How DARE he defile the title, I once had. I was reluctant but I knew I must for the people especially for the children. “Fine I’ll agree to your plead, now bring me back to the world of the living to bring back the kingdom I once knew.”

Startled by my revelation the goddess smiled “Yes, my king.” She takes  a step back and chants “I, goddess of the dead, shall bring this powerful mortal back to life to fulfill once again another purpose of this world. For the  better of man, spirits, and the mighty gods”

A sudden light surrounds me that blinded me. The next instant…everything was dark. “Did she make a mistake?” I scratch my head…wait…I have a body? I tighten my hands and released over and over to get used to my body. Next I roamed my hands around my surroundings hoping to search for any clues of my whereabouts. I figured I was in a enclosed space with a very rough walls…Oh I’m in my sarcophagus. That took me a while to figure that out. I pushed the lid and slid it to the side. What awaits me was…more darkness. I pushed myself out of my tomb and started searching for a source of light. Eventually I found a torch hanging on the side of the wall. I rubbed it against the wall and a fire started “AHHHHH” An person who slept an eternity  in darkness to then suddenly see a bright light blinded me, it took me a few minutes to get used to the light.

After a while I noticed etchings on the wall that tells a story of …well my life. “At least I was known as a legend” I felt a sense of pride, but it quickly dissipated when I forgotten why I was resurrected in the first place. “Well if I hope to take back my kingdom…I better find a way out of my own tomb…” I slowly looked around for any exits, what I saw instead were a lot of treasures and other galore. Among them was a scepter. It was a weapon I used for magic. What most people didn’t know is that the blunt end was made of colorless obsidian and is nearly indestructible- a pride of my workmanship.  I quickly grabbed it and noticed that after a couple centuries it still was in top tier condition. I kept looking around for anything else-specifically the door.  Man I hope there is a door, or did they covered this place up?

*Cluck**Cluck**Cluck* “Hey brother did you find anything else?”

I leaned against the wall that was a source of the sound.

“Nah everything else is junk, we should just leave. Soon enough, the time we will spend will out cost the stuff we will find.”

“Yeah you got a point, I haven’t found a single thing worth a coin in this ugly tomb. While we are at it we should drop the kid over here. Nobody will find her while we wait for the ransom note”

“Brother I am telling you. The lord isn’t going to give us money for a kid off the streets. Waiting for that is like waiting for a million dollars in front of our doorsteps-its not gonna happen. At this point we should just leave her and forget anything about the ransom”

…’Ugly tomb’ That is RUDE. Do they not realize who they just maligned? I was filled with anger against these vile criminals. This is entirely the king’s fault. If he fed all his people, nobody would steal anything and be at peace. I was partially mad with the criminals but even more so against the king. I will have to thank them though…because of them I knew which wall to go through. Using my scepter I opened a portal into the other side. I must digress this scepter got me out of many tough situations. Even though it was only capable of bending space and therefore not a good weapon to bring into a fight, It could be useful in some very niche situations. As I go through the portal I found myself on the otherside. I noticed there were no shady people in sight- it seems they left, instead I see….

“MMMMMPHH” A girl is tied up on the ground. She was staring at me with eyes full of fear.

At first I was curious. Am I that scary? I look down at my nude body….ohhhh i get it. As of now my body is slowly replenishing its flesh and it basically looks like parts of my body is either flesh and bone while other parts are fully recovered. Oi how will I explain this situation to her…
