Edin the capital of Leon. I just remembered that it's also called Caledonia. I'd rather call it Leon though. Edin is a very tall city and there's a bunch of layers. The top layer is the castle and the lowest layer is where the lowest of the low live. An unfair hierarchy system.
"Does the capital of the demon realm have the same idea to build something as hideous as this" I'm not a fan of this idea. Placing people to where their rankings are. I know it's late for me to be 'the good guy' but still. Commoners can be way more capable than nobles that sit in there mansions all day.
"Yes, it's been like that before we even had to hide from humans"
Hide from humans? I know they're scared of being killed by the heroes, but normal humans?
"You're scared of a human?"
"Not a human, humans. Their race's population triples our's"
"I see" Humans are foolish creatures. They would die for their country. They're too loyal, too attached. Even if I'm a former human, I don't feel much empathy for living creatures anymore. It's strange, but it can prove to be useful.
"Question, how do we get up?" Fin asked looking at the castle
"Jump"
"Won't that draw attention to us?"
"This is the part where you come in, make me Shin and make you Kyle"
"I have to be a former bully?!"
He knows that Kyle was a bully? Bet Amber ranted about it...
"Yes, fortunately eh?"
"Alright... better than being the Hero Mia"
Yeah... should've thought of that. Fin being a girl would've be hilarious!
"Let's go"
He made a transmutation circle without even saying a word, interesting.
"So... am I Shin now?" I can't tell
"Yes and I..." he made another transmutation circle "am Kyle"
Dang he actually sounds like Kyle
"So I guess I sound like Shin now"
I can't really tell...
"Yes you do"
"Better start jumping"
"Yeah..."
Jumping 1,450 ft in one go is no joke. I can't believe I can jump this high. I can literally jump up one layer on one go. Fin following close, jumping on buildings instead.
"Now I have to act like him..." Not a big fan of how Shin acts. He acts with his heart, not his brain. I'm different, I act with logic. He'd sacrifice himself for others in a heart beat, but I... it sounds bad, however, it's true. I would save my own skin. Nothing's important to me enough for me to give my life to save.
"What kind of person was Hero Kyle?"
"Scumbag bully. That's really all you have to know about him" That's really all the information that Fin needs
Wait no, he was also arrogant
"Right... got it"
Anyways... acting like Shin would be a pain. I think he embodies a human that doesn't have much of the 7 deadly sins inside him, don't get me wrong, he does have some like Wrath and Gluttony. He can't control much of his anger and he differently has an appetite, but me... even if I think I don't have much of them, I know deep down I do.
Wrath, I believe I'm a cool-headed guy, but if and when I get angry I might've forgiven, but I've never forgotten.
Envy, I envy Damon. He has everything I ever wanted, a great family, charm, lots of friends and probably Amber's heart someday
I try not to hold anyone too close to my heart because I know it'd hurt too much when someone hurt that person. Amber the one and only exception, she always has been... right? I love her and although she irritates me sometimes, she always seem to manage to make me smile. It's just fun and comforting knowing that she'd have my back.
"We're here" The palace feels bigger than normal, but I think that's just because I left without seeing the feel extent of it
"Heroes, we haven't seen you for a while. If you'd just come this way, duke Capaneus requested to see any heroes that is spotted," one of the silver knights walked up to us
"I don't give a damn about a noble. We need to see the king immediately or do you want me to beat you up to make an example?" Fin said, he's a really good actor if I didn't know any better I'd say he is Kyle
"He's with the prince right now in his bedroom sir,"
"Thanks for your help. Couldn't have done it without you" I said then walked away grabbing Kyle too
I'm a terrible actor...
We went inside. There were guards everywhere
"Kill them" I ordered Fin
"Finally some fun" He had a sadistic smile on his face
I closed my eyes and walked straight through the hall trying to ignore the voices of suffering behind me
I can't believe I don't feel a lot of things by hearing those screams
"Done," he said
I finally opened my eyes and glanced at him. He was covered in blood and he just looked like he took a nice bath.
"If morality has a colour what's your's Fin" I seriously want to know
"Hmm... blood red" I'm a little freaked out by that answer
Right... note to self don't let him get pissed off
We walked to the king's bedroom. It was on the second floor next to the throne room so there were lots of guards there too. So a massacre happened again... I hate this already
"Don't go inside, I plan to only blame Shin for this" Shin made Amber a mortal wound, how can I forgive that
Let's open the King's door shall we?
