Alright people, book 2 is out. But because of webnovels new shitty tag system you wont find it under #tbate so uh, blame webnovel not me!
Fayden POV :
"Welcome to Losvilion."
I cant help but stare at the sight in front of me.
"Come on, you can stop gaping." Noctis spoke, an amused smile on his face.
"Yeah, it's just, I expected it to be more..." I trail off, struggling to find the right words.
"Primitive?"
I sigh, "Yeah."
"Well, we weren't called the smartest of the asuras for nothing."

I groan as I get up from the ground, the bloodied wound on my chest healing within seconds.
"Geez, you aren't pulling your punches are you?"
"No, that's the whole point of this phase in your training." He replied, a smirk framing his face.
"Yeah, I know. didn't know it would hurt this much." I grumble.
"Get used to it." He shrugs.
"You're gonna turn me into a masochist one of these days." I say under my breath before lunging forward.

??? POV :
"Tell him."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, Noctis. He needs to know what he is in for."
"We don't know how he will react, he might end up spiting us for hiding this from him."
"Would you rather he finds out some other way?"
He shook his head, "No, but I don't think he is ready for it."
I sigh, "We need him to trust us. We can't keep him in the dark about his own physique if we want that."
He looked conflicted for a second, before coming to a decision, "Very well, I will tell him."

Fayden Leywin POV :
"Here you go." The man hands me the devices I asked for.
"Thank you." I tilt my head down, signifying my gratitude.
"No need to thank me. I quite enjoy making stuff like this."
I nod and head out.
"Do you have anyone in mind for those?" Noctis asked.
Faces from the past flash before my eyes, "A few, yeah."

~In an unknown forest, Dicathen.~
3rd Person POV :
A bluish black rip opens up in mid air, distorting its very surroundings.
A cloaked figure falls to the forest floor, and groans at his not-so-soft landing.
"Did you have to do that Noctis?"
He received no reply as the rift closed up.
The man got up and dusted himself off.
"I guess I am finally back here huh?" Sighing he spoke to no one in particular.

Fayden Leywin POV :
The pig of a man cowers before me, as I advance to him sword in hand.
"P-Pl-Please have mercy!" He begs.
"Did you show mercy when you ripped apart all those families? Did you show mercy when you violated the little girl right before her dead parents?" I growl lowly, yet it had enough malice to make him piss his pants.
"I thought not." I whisper, and the blade fell.
Blood spattered the alleyway that day.

You have changed.
Course I have, its been years. I'm not the same person I used to be.
But are you a better person from then?
...
I fell silent, pondering his question.
No...No I certainly am not.

It was during one of my 'purges' that I met him.
As I move forward to take the life of yet another, this one who had been trafficking elves and dwarves in the city of Etistin, a huge form flew down.
And there he was, in all his glory, riding on his matte black dragon, whose topaz eyes seemed to pierce through anything, yet I didn't flinch as I made eye contact with her.
Had it been any other situation, I would have smiled at them.
The only ones who still consider me family.
I had hoped for a proper reunion...
Alas we don't always have what we want now do we?

My face betrays no emotion as I massacre the army in front of me.
The four individuals beside me were just as deadly, as each one of them held their own against the invading forces.
The once lush battlefield was nothing but craters of molten rock, and frozen patches by now.
And the near thousand enemy forces, were reduced to hundreds.
But something seemed odd.
I was told there were strong enemy mages here.
That's the entire reason I came here instead of....
My thoughts were derailed as alarms blew off in my mind.
No.
NO!

I do nothing but stare at the now demolished castle.
Was all of this for naught?
Were all the sacrifices meaningless?
In the end, were we always destined to lose...?

Authors Note :
This, is the trailer of my next book, if it wasn't obvious from the title itself.
Now, this is not final.
Some things might change, so take this with a grain of salt.
I will be notifying it here when I upload the first chapter of book 2.
Well, see ya.
