Chapter 2 - Chapter 1; Oath's and Interest

The Ripples Of Destiny

On front of me is a corpse, a bloody corpse, not just any corpse but my...sister's.

"No...no!..This is not..possible!! Why? Why? Why? Why shall all misfortune condemn me??!"

I screamed for all the misfortune that condemned myself. 'Unfairness' is what screamed on my heart.

Since i was 10, i witnessed my parents assasination, It terrified me. It made me despair, yet my sister was there. She was the hope that brought me back.

Yet, once more...i failed to protect 'my loved ones'.

I am but pathetic.

Pathetic, to this cruel world that condemned me for nothing.

"Do you wish for extermination?" A voice echoed on my mind. It is a devil's voice, yet i do not care. For yet the saints did not helped me, for the devil will, It is ironic.

'..Extermination?'

'Yes, to exterminate this unfair world'

'.....'

'Then join us, for we are the ones that roams decay and death at each step.'

'For what?'

'You have potential...we shall help you use that potential, in exchange help us for our task'

'I see...the help me exact my vengeance to this unfair world and people'

'Hahahahahahah, then come with us!'

'..Okay..for-

I swear, on this life....

I, White Sile, bring nights of screams...

Make the day mournful...

I shall bring misfortune to all...

I shall exterminate...

this world.'

I am Ardles Boundervil, a guy, aiming to be a knight, on the footsteps on my father's glory. I am here on the Army Training Camp, with several other people to become a knight.

Infront of me lies The Great Knight - Vila Soulvadior, he is sang by many for his glorious actions, of bravery and courage.

"Ardles Boundervil! Show me your training results!..."

"Yes sir!"

I showed him my effort of training, i did a stab, thrust and slash. He stared for a couple seconds before replying.

"..Above average."

I was dissapointed for that response, but hearing the rumors about him being cold and such i got a little better.

After that, the other knights were chosen to show their results. After the Training Event, i make myself go home.

On my way home i walked towards the town, it reliefs me that the town is full of unity and help. I see children having fun running on streets. I see people helping each other. I see parents hugging their kids. I see old people not losing faith and taking care of their grandsons. I see people working for their life.

It dazzled me, such a scene was a memory engraved to my deepest mind, It is amazing.

It was something i always want to see.

It is but the best thing to see.

for the world is a beautiful place.

'for

I swear, on my life...

I,Ardles Bouldevir, a knight..

Shall protect the peace of this world...

Shall save the people of this world...

and

Shall save this beautiful world.

Walkong towards the street at night, i see quietness or moreso peace. I am Waltz Endeavor, a intelligent person they say. Believe me just because im 18 doesnt mean i know little of life.

I've seen many things on life. Ever since i was a kid, well particularly i'm an orphan, they take less little time on guiding me, but they still taught me fundamentals of the world.

When i was 8, i saw a kids snatching food. I chased after them, managing to catch on them, asking them

"Why would you do that? That's wrong."

"...What do someone like you know? Obviously because kids like us aren't given a care for this world."

It is then i realize, for myself, i ask my heart plenty of times what is right and wrong? what is good and evil?

It is then i journeyed a lot in town, i saw many things, sneakily i saw a noble, they were bullying a poor guy. I was shocked on what happened because i was taught nobles were nice people.

It was then i realize that i should see more of this world. I saw on town, ladies prostituting themselves for their life. That do illegal bussinness for life. I saw nobles doing evil things, yet even people that saw ignored it. It was status, huh.

Back to the present. I was walking peacefully, but an encounter with a guy changed everything. He is 2 meters tall, his body covered with a black cloak, taking off his cloak covered in his head. Revealing a curly black hair, with a monocle on his right eye, couple with his white skin and black eyes, he confronted me.

"Oh, hello! Waltz Endeavor correct?"

"...You think?"

At this point, im 70% sure he came for me, since he knew where i was, and his shady cloak speaks things off, but ofcourse I cannot deny the 30% offchance, that he heard my name from somewhere and encountered me coincedentally, but i immedieatly removed that conjecture as he took off his head cloak, for it is idiotic to take off you disguise infront of someone you do not have any business too.

"Oh, im sure you are!" He chuckled, and yet man he really is getting me a headache.

"...So who are you?"

"Winterlon.'

"Okay...Winterlon, your businness?"

"Hmm, okay it's gonna be fast! I dunno why boss recommended you but i promise it's fast!"

"..Fine."

"Just a couple of questions: Okay? first off! What do you think is good and evil?"

"..Oh so it's a shady interview: Good is but depiction of the better of everyone, and Evil is but the selfishness of one."

"Why do you think that?"

"Is that the second question?"

"No."

"Heh, because good and evil is judged by this world for majority over minority, for example, as a King can kill someone completely innocent, he can brush it off like it's right for his himself is superior, and for the brainwashed subjects they agree, making the whole matter but a another rebellion case."

"...Interesting, so the finale question. Who decides what's right and wrong?"

"Majority, just kidding. It is generally majority, but ultimately it's one self. Peoplr have different views you know? that's why principles exist, as principles are rules that tie ourselves from the abyss of idiotsome. It is one self, for example, a gentleman i am, i think forcing a woman is one of the evils, and saving the world is one of the goods." At this point of answering i turned serious.

"But i am different. I do not think of a flock thought of saving the world, i do not have the intention of indulging myself to sins. I but live selfishly controlled. I do not have thoughts of sacrificing myself for the greater or good. I do not have shady indulgence of life doing anything againts my principle. I control myself to be rational as possible, benefit is but the core. But ofcourse if theres an offchance i get sentimental which is rare i would go with my heart."

He froze for a moment, before smiling eagerly and laugh out load, suprisingly it didnt arouse any attention from anyone, how odd.

"Hahaahahahah! Fantastic i say! Fantastic!'

"...Okay enough, can i go now?"

"No, no, no, i shall formally invite you! to join us, 'I'.

"..No. Sounds like trouble."

"Oh are you sure?"

"Yes. Nothing is gonna change my mind."

"Anything? how about knowing certain historical secrets? or knowing about...your parents."

I froze and hesitated for the slightest, i was really tempted by the secrets of history, but my parents, it is one of the things i wish to know.

"...For what?"

"For your talent, inexchange for it."

"Okay what is 'I' anyways?

"You agree?"

"...." I stayed silent waiting for his answer, on what his organization is what my answer shall depend. If its something that thinks of saving the world im sure 70% i'l get sacrificed at the middle or end. If it's againts my principle, then i would reject straight away.

"Oh, fine. -

We are 'I',

Phantoms of the winner....

We are but the shadows covered in light.

We are unseeable, and but a rumor...

Equal exchange is but the motto...

We are, 'I', we are not on they and them...

We do not side with he or she...

We, are, but 'I', as benefit before anything..

"..Sure."

As they vanish from the streets, and subsenquently become nothing but a speck of dust seen in everyday life.
