Chereads / The Bolt Of Rage / Chapter 2 - The middle

Chapter 2 - The middle

'Yes, kill them all. Let your hate fuel the fire in your soul. They killed everyone you cared for, do the same to them!' The voice in his head urges him on, adding timber to the fire.

"Hello Cardinal. It seems only fitting that I killed all your men, you did kill my entire village."

"You heretic! You are the evil in this world, you and all those who help hide the darkness in the world!"

"HAHAHA! I must be evil since I stand against you and your god. You are no different though, you kill in the name of God, so I shall now kill you and all you God lovers!" Drake rushes towards the cardinal as he forms a gauntlet of lightning, hoping to kill the cardinal easily, but he didn't reach his rank in the church for being weak.

The cardinal would release beams of light that was able to deflect Drakes lightning, whilst keeping up with his speed. But unluckily for the cardinal, the voice in drakes head, kept giving him more power as he gave in to the rage that blinds him. The power flows through him as he relinquishes control to his emotions.

Before he knew it, he was standing over the dead body of the cardinal, drenched in blood. Deep down, he knew his rage was not quenched. So he began his journey of rage. Battalions of the church would intercept him every now and then but he would always wipe them out, without mercy. Months go by as rumors of the lord of darkness, spreads to every inch of the kingdom.

It was in a large and dangerous forest that Drake was trekking though, on his way to his next location of his revenge filled journey, when he heard the wails of a girl. Images of his dead sibilings flashed in his mind as he ran towards the sound. After clearing through the foliage, he finds a little girl crying her eyes out.

"What is wrong little one?" He asks as he runs to her side to make sure nothing is wrong.

"I… sniff… wanted to find an herb to heal my friend… sniff… but I got lost, and hungry, and scared!" She cried out as she hugs the young man, she just met for the first time. Putting her complete trust in Drake. Drake calmly rubbed her back, soothing the young girl into much needed sleep. While putting her down on the ground, the images of his dead siblings combine with the little girl and he can't help but love her like a big brother would even though he just met her.

Thus begins their journey through the dangerous forest.
