Chereads / Forging a Villain / Chapter 3 - New World

Chapter 3 - New World

As I awoke I saw the inside of a disheveled house. 'Memories? No this is real.' I looked down seeing pale skin. 'What am I? Who am I?' I questioned my myself as I got up. I moved to the door, a simple opening in the wooden structure. As I walked out I was greeted by the twin suns of yellow and red. I looked around at a destroyed village. 'My home?' Dead bodies strewn about. I grimaced at the sight but not out of pity, out of how pathetic they are to have died. I took the clothes from an armored dead man and covered my nude body. A simple red stained shirt and pants. I could smell the blood around myself as I looked at the carnage. "Pathetic." I say as I leave the sene, I look into the grasslands seeing a forest in the distance.

Serval hours of walking in the peaceful ocean of grass I reach the forests edge. I hear the sounds of nature, of crushing bone and running prey. The roar of small predators at loosing their prey. I smile from the noise as it is relaxing. I walk through and stop at a pond to look at my face. I look down at myself in the pond. It's still water a mirror as I look over my deep blue eyes and pale almost pure white skin I look at my hair. It's pitch black as if light itself flees from it. I can see the black aura around me, and will it back into my body. I know it's not normal, yet it feels so right, like it's a part of my soul. My face looks lesser than those of the dead warrior men from the village.

As I walk away I think on how weak I look, knowing if I am attacked it will come in handy. As I walk I pick up a rock the size of my fist and squeeze it. As it cracks I try to crush it further failing. I grimace and throw it aside. 'I need more power, I refuse to be weak.' I promise to myself as I keep walking. I look around feeling eyes on me. Ten humans in makeshift armor appear from behind the trees. I look up and see eight more with bows. I look at them all and tilt my head to the side. The leader a woman who steps forward smiling like a predator.

"Looks like someone survived our raid" She said looking at me.

"They were weak, the only thing I give them praise for is fighting to the death." I say to her as I look at the humans. Men and women are mixed in. For some unknown reason I find it odd.

"That's-" I cut off her words by letting the aura I locked up free. It crackles around me like lightning while moving like light. Just as light does the anti light aura expands. Emitted from my eyes making them an unholy black as my hair does the same. The fingertips of my hands glow as they wrap around the woman's throat. Then energy pulses into her like a disease. I let go of her as she screams and convulses on the ground. The arrows in my body are ignored by me as I look at her. Slowly she gets up, black veins replace her red ones. Her skin white like mine as her green eyes look more emerald now.

"How curious" I say as she looks at me with wild eyes. In them I see a primal force. Her men charge me and then she speaks.

"STOP YOU FOOLS" her voice is primal like that of a that of a predator. The charge stops and I see them sweating in fear of her voice. Before it was respect and fear. Now it's fear alone. "What are your orders Master?" She asks bowing her head to me low. The bandits around her look at one another and I can see them making up their minds.

"Kill your former companions I will take care of the archers" as I let out a wild sadistic smile. I move up the tree my feet making holds as I claimed up it. My hands left behind holds where they slammed into it. I could feel the anti light being drained quickly. As much as I want to play I will need to finish this quickly. As I reach the branch in a minutes time I twist into the archer kicking him off the high branch. As arrows fly at me I jump to the archers one by one quickly killing them with smile on my face.

As I crawl down the tree like a spider to the former bandit leader covered in the blood. I notice her eating a mans arm blood dripping from her mouth. As she looks at me she offers the rest of the arm looking away in shame. I take the arm and bite into not caring that it's human. I slap her hard knocking her over and leaving a bruise on her face.

"Next time wait for me" I say not caring that she is harmed. If she is weak and dies from that, then I have no need for her. As I eat she gets back up and rips off an arm for herself. Placing half at my feet while I sit. I simply take it and she eats the other half. It's not too bad but I wish I could cook it. I look up at the setting suns. The days seem too long. As two moons rise I look to the woman. "What is your name?" I ask out of curiosity.

"Liana Master" she say as her eyes look me over with list in them. I ignore the look.

"What are those?" I say pointing to the moons unsure what to call them.

"Earth and Kata, Earth appeared in the sky one night over eight thousand years ago. After it appeared anyone sensitive to magic felt great loss of life was felt from it. Several metal crafts crashed here with survivors. Legends say that they once had great empires and technology rivaling magic. All where humans. Kata has always been there Master" she says while looking at me as I stared at the sky. Earth sounds firmly yet distant. I nod at her words. As she tears off more meat eating until she is full.

She looks to me again with lust. As she crawls to me looking up at my face with wild lust. She looks at my pants licking her lips. She dares to crawl closer pushing her bloody breasts between her arms. I look at her passively and growl deeply my face contorting in anger.

"If I want to use your body I will do so when I choose to. That will most likely be never. I have felt no sexual urges thus far. Don't make me beat it into your head" I say in a dark menacing voice. She shivers and whimpers backing away.

"P-please forgive my advances my Lord. I will never do so again" she says stuttering on the first word. I look at the stars laying back in the bloody clothes. Belly full I fall asleep, the last sight I see is the moons high in the sky. I smile bloody mouth and teeth showing as sleep takes me.

As I wake I look around and see Liana sleeping several feet away. As I stir so does she, kneeling she awaits orders. From the ground I stand, and look at her.

"Let's move my power has regenerated. I think I can make more like you. I not sure how many I can make. You will guide me to your bandit camp" I said as I walked in front of her and she follows behind. Remaining silent we ran faster than her dead companions did at us. 'This world will be mine, as will all things.' I thought to myself.

As we arrive the bandits look to my servant walking behind me. I watch them as she steps next to me but still behind me.

"I will lead you now. You have two choices, kneel or die." I say as my dark aura is released in full. The anti light consumes and advances into the world around me. The weak species of varied types flinch and step back. I pull it all back into me as I stand alone. My new creation moved away and looked like a frightening puppy. "Pathetic" I say as I walk past them all.

As my Liana follows me to the biggest hut I walk in and look at her. "Bring me your strongest warrior and magic user" as I sit in a wooden chair I am sure there is magic. 'How do I know that?' I question myself as Liana leaves to do as I have said.

As she returns with two women I meditate focusing on it so it will grow. As they enter she kneels before me and my eyes open an unholy black. As I get up from the cross sitting positioning walk to the two woman. Grabbing their necks before they can move away, I sink more power than I did to Liana into them. They scream like demons of war as I drain myself into them. As I pull back having used all my power. I look at them on the floor writhing in pain and walk back to sit down on the chair. As they changed their eyes became brighter, their hair like Liana's became black like onyx.

As they slowly rose I could feel their power. Much stronger than Liana. She had served her purpose. I walked to the kneeling Liana. As I grabbed her neck I snapped it with my hands letting her corpse fall to the floor.

"Thank you for serving me loyally, but you are too weak for further service." I said as she finally died. I looked at the two new entities. "I give those of your kind made by me the Archons" I said with finality as they both kneeled before me. "Tell me your names" I said as they only raised their heads.

"I am Narma Master" said the now pale green orc woman said with reverence.

"I am Petra Master" said the elf with a net completion of pale grey skin.

"Excellent you will be my generals until further notice. I expect loyalty and results. You may rise" I said as I smiled at them I nodded in approval of my new Archons. They looked at the dead body and ripped off her arms offering both to me. I took them as my stomach growled. "You may have the rest of her." I said as I began to eat the flesh of my former servant.
