Surprised Meeting

A Chapter by Corvus

A jab caused my eyes to spring open. I feel that I'm no longer in the moist dirt of area. Two short men stand In front of me in full armor. The two men in front of me watching my every move as I get off the bed slowly. They point at a door. I feel threatened as one of them take a single step towards me. I unwillingly walk to the door which they pointed, as the two short men follow closely behind.
I walk through the door to reveal a long passage. The passage has murals painted on the walls. Pictures of great battles with Kriegen soldiers attacking forts and worlds. At the end of the art, a great door with gold imprinted onto them.

As the doors slide open it reveals an armored figure sitting a throne. Unlike the others, its armor was black with gold designs printed on, with a helmet with a white and black crest on top of the armor with a long fur cloak draping from the back. Yet it appeared as he was short as my 14-year-old brother. The guards on either side of me get down on one knee with their head down. ¨Welcome,¨ the deep, commanding voice surprised me coming out of that body.¨I am Lupus Autem Krieg.¨

¨The motherfucki...¨ Before I can even finish the word I find the twin guards spears poking my neck, as the black and gold figure walked forward down steps,¨ I wouldn't recommend insulting your benefactor.¨

¨What?¨"The figure kept walking till he stood right below me.

¨Im the one who is going to, and pardon me, your a*s.¨

¨How, I'm nothing but a slave to you as...¨I feel the spears poke even deeper into my flesh, so I rephrase the statement,¨people.¨

¨Thats better, now shall we get to discussing what I'm going to do with you.¨

¨Do, what you're going to do is send me back home!¨

¨Your government broke the treaty by building that base on that rock, and a Kriegen farmer reported it to our sector patrol, only it took us some time till we could get you removed.¨

The memory of the old man returned to my mind, I didn't think about it at the time, but it was kinda short.

¨Do you get it now, your really my property, Now let me get a drink my throat is really parched.¨ I watch as a... skull with mechanical parts sticking out o f it brings a plate which has a cup on it. The cups top seems to be made out of a skull. ¨What the hell is that.¨ The Emperor just looks at me and says in an almost chillingly cold voice

¨I got it from my father, Noctis, it's one of the soldiers he killed in the first core worlds war, all he ever said about him is that he picked an honorable fight. So my father honors his life by making this.¨

¨Thats fucked up, ho.¨ I see a flash as he pulls out a pistol and I see pointed it down straight as my eyes.¨And that,¨ he takes a pause and removes his helmet to see a pale skinned man with a short stubby beard with blood red eyes. He takes a sip as I see a drip of crimson flow from his mouth and fear fills me. His eyes seem to go from bright red to calm brown after the drink and he returns his look to me,¨Where was I, oh yes. The fact is I think you can beat the 4 foes of the area, and your already half way down. Then you will be released into my nation, and so far you seem to know nothing of our culture and history. That will be a problem if you are going to be one of us.¨

¨I can become free!¨ My heart filled with relief at that statement as now I know I won't die in this hell hole. ¨Wait... so what's the catch.¨ His eyes seem to stare at me with intrigue,¨So you're smarter than I thought. You understand that you need a teacher, and I already have someone in mind for this job.¨

¨Who.¨ My heart returns to fear, all the people I have seen here are deathly afraid or want to kill me. An image of me getting shanked comes to mind. Ḧe walks near me to the point where I could almost tell the strains of hair of his beard.¨Its the only person who hasn't thought of stabbing you in the gut.¨ He finally puts his gun back in its place and he turns back up the stairs and starts walking towards his throne.¨Her name is Amorin, I think you have already met.¨

¨Amorin? I'm sorry but I think I would remember a name like that.¨He sighed and then places his hand on his hand as to rest it,¨You know her, remember the one strange girl who kept poking and watching you on the ship.¨ The memory of her surges back into my mind, I grip my leg in horror remembering the stab wound I suffered because of that man.¨I remember her, but I also remember that her uncle stabbed me in the leg,¨ This time the emperor lifts his head in intrigue at my statement so I continue trying to make best of the situation,¨ He thought I was the one getting his niece to do it the prick. Then when she watched and I saw her he even got more pissed for so godawful reason!¨

¨Yes, bu this time you won't have to worry about that, but this conversation has gone on for far too long, now let me get to the main point of this setup. My people are cursed with a terrible disease of the genes. The gene Sanguinis Furor.¨

¨What?¨
