Well then, ponies...
Tomorrows sorrows
Previous ChapterNext Chapterthis is a little sneak peak at the end. that's right, i actually have a plan. only 1k because i didn't want to give away too much. Well, ALLONSY!!!!
P.S. it may change slightly when we actually get to this point.
“Jacob calm down!”
I growled as I set another building on fire, “Calm down!? You stay calm after someone does that to you!”
“Now brother I know you’re angry but this is going overboard.”
“Overboard!? OVERBOARD!!!??? YOU WILL EAT THOSE WORDS!!”
I charged an electric storm into my hand and let it loose at my brother, “YOU SEE HOW YOU REACT WHEN YOUR DAUGHTER GETS MURDERED!!!!”
The electric blast stunned him only for a moment letting him get up and sigh, “I’m sorry, but you have become what we were afraid of. As such I must stop you.”
“Less words, more fight.”
I threw spell after spell at him, from fireballs to just plain magic. We fought for several hours until I slipped up and put too much power into an ice spike, it flew above him giving him enough time to build up enough power to blast me with his signature move. The white light flowed through my body rendering me unable to move. I fell to my knees tears falling from my eyes. “I’m sorry for what he did but you can’t take your frustrations on the world.”
He put his hand on my shoulder and tried to give me a weak smile but stopped short when my hand constricted around his throat, “Watch me.”
I threw him clear across the town and screamed, “I WILL DESTROY EVERYTHING IN MY PATH UNTIL I FIND THAT SORRY EXCUSE FOR A MORTAL!!!!”
I grabbed the nearest living thing and crushed its head just to feel the crunch. I started walking away from the ruined town, not a single building stood and only a few people survived simply to spread the word of my rage. I felt Rulia’s sorrow in the back of my head and heard her tears fall which just made my rage grow. I walked towards the city in the distance which was already being evacuated and the holy army was marching towards me. In only a few hours they were all slaughtered, “Humans, such weaklings.”
The city was almost pure white, blue roofs with some golden lacing here and there. The royal city had walls that were protected against all but the most powerful magic, meaning I reduced it to rubble. Empty, the entire city was empty. Meaning no one saw me level it, it was just a smooth plain when I started walking away. I saw a silhouette running away in the distance and teleported in front of him, “You, will, pay.”
“N-now don’t do anything you’ll regret.”
I grabbed the man by his throat and looked him in the eye, “I gave you sanctuary, I took your family in when you had nowhere else to go. And you killed my daughter. There is nothing in this or any other worlds that will make me regret this.”
My magic flowed into him making him scream in pain, every second of his life would be endless pain from now on. His skin turned black and his eyes started melting. His body turned hard as an exoskeleton sprouted. Fangs grew from his gums and from within his eye sockets magic flowed giving him new eyes of pure emerald. Bug like wings sprouted from his back and a horn from his forehead. I felt his spirit breaking and twisting until I claimed it from death to make him my slave. The man had no choice but to follow my every command while watching, completely aware but unable to do anything. “We will walk back to my castle, and you are going to kill your family.”
I heard him scream in his head but his body just nodded and started walking. The trip was eventful to say the least, some remaining peasants tried to fight me but only one had managed to wound me, a small boy no older than five held a piece of splintered wood defending his mother and baby sister, “No hurting mama or Sarah!”
I stood over him and the terrified woman who was stroking the baby’s head keeping it calm. “Very well, just get them to a safer place.”
I snapped my fingers and my slave and I walked away. After another mile a small group of soldiers attempted to stop me which led to them being torn apart by Slave. He was unable to talk due to my magic completely changing his vocal cords but his screech froze any sane man in place. After that nothing of consequence happened, people who were left behind ran away and I gave a few coins to those who were brave enough to fight me but were too young to really fight. They took the coin albeit very understandably cautiously. I slept while Slave kept watch and ate while I sustained him with magic. We arrived at my castle after a week and instantly my children came running, “DADDY!!”
“Hello children, how’s mommy doing?”
Emeryl bounce onto my back and snorted causing a bit of fire, “She says she wants to go see sister.”
“So do I, but we can’t.”
“Why? Is she hiding?”
“Something like that. What do you say I try to get mommy to eat with us tonight?”
they cheered and ran off into the castle leaving me to face Rulia alone. I walked into our bedroom and saw a lump under the covers. I felt each tear drop from her eyes as I sat down on the floor next to the bed, “Hello dear.”
Through a coarse voice I heard her response, “Is that monster dead?”
“Better, he’s murdering his family and when he’s done we can either make him our slave forever or kill him.”
“Kill, how painfully can we do it?”
“Well, we can put hooks through each of his limbs and put him up in the magic pool for a few minutes.”
“Not enough.”
"Arrows through his genitals.”
“Not enough.”
I scratched my beard and sighed, “How about this, we slowly rip out his intestines for say three days then slowly tear off his ribs and as he’s passing out from the pain I use a bit of magic to make him feel every nanosecond as if a million suns are ripping through his body as we rip out his heart and make him watch it stop beating.”
“Let’s do that.”
For the first time in almost a month, I saw her smile.
