Chereads / Zeston: War of the Unholy Throne / Chapter 2 - Caves,Blood and Red Hair are his Home

Chapter 2 - Caves,Blood and Red Hair are his Home

Almost no light, thick smog and the smell of blood in the air most people wouldn't even be able to breath under these conditions but for the people that live down here in the Underground its just everyday life because the body's adjusted over the time.

This is a story about a person who didn't even knew his name, never had a family, and was at the verge of death multiple times until somebody gave him a hand and showed him to even live a life in these dark caves.

After that he remembered why he lived and worked for a goal that goal was to release him from his burden that was bestowed upon him with his birth.

We write the Year 379 ATGW (after the great war)

Heavy breathing, cold hands and a Metal chain that was equally cold as this man's hands and as heavy as the breathing of that man then silence, the man stopped breathing, he died because the chains made him suffocate. The hands of this dead man were still tight around this heavy and cold metal chain, then something seems to pull on the chain and the chain starts moving.

At the other side of the chain was a person that seems to have killed the other person you could see a slight smirk on his face.

The person has middle long hair arrogant looking golden eyes and a good trained body that doesn't look actually pretty different from most people but if you would dare a look under his shirt you could see that he actually trained a lot.

A loud cliring of the chain getting dragged over the ground then the sound of something heavy falling over it was just the corpse of the one guy that suffocated at the chain.

"Where are they?"

Someone asked with low tone and slight annoyance in his voice.

"On top of the next container Cain."

Says an absolutely dark voice to the Person with the chain whose name seems to be Cain. Cain with a smile and a look like he couldn't wait any longer for something

"Is that so?"

The dark voice

"Yes it is exactly like i said"

"Then lets have some fun!" said Cain with a big smile while running over to the container, after he reached the container he gets on top of it with just one leap and lands casually on both legs while still having this big smile on his face.

And how the dark voice said both of Cains last targets are now right before him.

"You are a monster you shall be cursed"

said one of the two men who stand there in terror before Cain.

"A Monster and I shall be cursed? You don't even know anything about me and what I had to go through"

Cain threw out his chain after the one who talked to him the man seemed paralyzed as he just got tied up by the chain his breathing got heavier and slower as Cain pulled the man to him, he clenched his right hand to a fist and hit him right in the face under his left eye right after this he kicked him in the stomach and with this from the container the man fell down after a little time you could hear splash sound and at Cains face a grin took its place again he pulled his chain back up, but he pulled faster than he did before and the person where the chain were wrapped around wasn't there anymore.

"So and what are we going to do with you now?"

Cain asked with a bored voice now sitting at the edge of the container with his legs dangling of the edge.

"You seem like you don't belong here and still you choose to fight why are you doing it?"

The other person looking down at the ground with a sad face knowing he will die here.

At this stadium where only the last living person leaves the Arena.

Then he goes to Cain and sits down at the edge as well

"Well I wanted what everybody wants down here in the underground a good and quite life, but I think my life will end here at least it will be quite after I die"

Cain placed his right hand on the left shoulder of this guy.

"What's your name?"

he asked with a serious face.

"Alex. My name is Alex, or it will have been my name for the longest time."

Alex looks at Cains face and sees an actually happy face that said everything is alright

"So just one last question. Quite afterlife or dying with a bang?"

Alex face changed to a smile as well and starts laughing from the bottom of his heart after he finally calmed down.

"Isn't it too late to die with a bang?"

Cain smiles at him with closed eyes and opened a portal in which he pushed him after Alex got pushed through the portal he came out at the ceiling of the stadium and fell at least 12 meters freely until he hit the ground and died.

Cains look got serious again

"It's never too late to go out with a bang."

All lights in the Stadium now where pointing at Cain and a loud voice came from all the speakers.

"And there he is Standing alone again like many times before CAIN. You won the Battle Royale and will receive your reward after getting out of the battlefield with one of the lifts."

Cain started walking slowly into the direction of one of the lifts while thinking what rewards will be there this time what he can choose from because normally he would take the money that is guaranteed as a reward choice, but the two other ones are every time random, so it could be possible that there is something more valuable than money but depends on the Person.

Finally, reaching the lift he enters it, after a minute he reached the reward vault where somebody waited for him to come back the person was a girl with a red ponytail, green eyes and a military jacket she looked angry walked to Cain who thought that she wants to hug him and slapped him in his face.

"You idiot why are you toying with your enemies and do some chit-chat with them while they could easily kill you?"

Cain now with a bit surprised face

"Hey you know how I am, this stadium is a stage, we must entertain the people out there watching this, so just let me play my part."

"Your pa...."

she lets out in disbelief knowing that anything what she says wouldn't change his actions.
