Chapter 1 - CHAPTER ONE

I was in the forest the razorback boar staring at me with its beady eyes I stand firm my hands were

shaking but not out of fear, no it was out of anticipation it had been two minutes the boar was

staring me down I haven't move and neither has it. I took a step back my ankle twist I turn around

to see what had made my ankle twist and that was all it took as soon as I broke eye contact the

animal charge. Its tusk lowered at me, it barely scrapes me slicing my legs I hissed in pain as I

move out of the way as the animal's tusk nearly made me less of a man it charges then turn

to whip its head black and reared its ugly beading eyes and wet dripping snout at me it charges

at me again. I search around for something to protect myself with but before I could find something,

the animal had already attacked and stab its tusk into my thigh it was thrashing it drag me off the

tree and on the ground where it whips its head back. I hissed in pain as the tusk was forcefully torn

out of my flesh, it tried again to impale me but I held on to its ears and held it in place pushing it

back so that the animal wouldn't completely tear off my foot with all the thrashing. I use one of my

hands and held the bloody tusk of the animal when my grip got slack the boar move back wildly

causing me to fall on my face jumping down and I felt the hooves of the animal come barreling

down on my neck. I wanted to cry out in pain it rose up again and came barreling down this time I

move out of the way and punch the boar in the face it was dazed and I took this chance to get up

and kick it in the eye. It reels back and glares at me. I could feel my heart thumping in my chest

breath as I jump up grabbing the tusk of the boar I held it firmly before pulling it down slamming

the creatures head in the ground it real back and tried to stab me in the head I held up my hand at

the last second the sharp tusk piercing through my hand. I scream out in pain and pull my hand

back ripping the tusk out leaving a huge hole that was oozing blood I gritted my teeth in anger I

could feel the rage and adrenaline surging throughout my body it felt like a volcano about to

blast. I grab the tusk of the animal and with one quick pull ripping it out of his face it roared in

pain as blood ooze out of the wound pooling up on the ground it came at me and I took the tusk

of the animal and jam, it into the head of the animal blood splash out the animal thrash

around pushing the tusk further down into the head of the boar it's body twitch violently for a few

seconds before slumping down laying unmoving. I got up and grab the body of the animal I grab

the animal with my good hand and throw it over my shoulder I limp onto the track and made my

way back to the house it took me around an hour and when I got there the I saw the house I walk

up to it before I took another step I heard the thundering of hooves and the sound of what could

be an army. I grip the boar firmly as I saw four white stallions galloping along they came to a stop

they were wearing full battle armor and one of them had a scroll in hand when he came up the hill

and saw the boarding house his face twisted into disgust, you sure it is here he turns to ask the

man behind him who had a scar over his left eye. He glared at the house this is the place he said

in a stern voice, the scroll guy groaned and he jumps off his horse and walks up to the house and

knock on the doot it was open by my mother a slender woman with hazel eyes and short white hair

she was five foot four and her body was frail the man looks her up and down I am looking for

ABRAX winters she frowns that is ''my son what did he?'' ,'' do I apologize deeply if there is

anything''.

She breaks out in a coughing fit holding her mouth as he body jerk violently, I drop the boar and

sprinted to her as she falls to the ground coughing, I caught her before she hit the ground and I

put her hand over my shoulder and help her up. I carried her into the room the house was dirty

and the only thing there was the bed and an old nightstand the paint was stripping off it and the

metal was creaky and rusty.I laid her in the bed her breathing was fast and erratic her breathing

slow down as she slowly drifted off to sleep when I was sure she had gone to sleep I put the blanket

over her and kneeling down beside her I kiss her forehead and then I got up and walk back outside

and look at the guards. ''what do you want'', 'why are you looking for me'' he frowns I am a night for

the kingdom of black diamond I rolled my eyes ''I don't care who you get to the fucking point'' he

gritted

his teeth the guy with the scroll step forward boy you will have manners or else I will-- are you

doing

I said interrupting him ''cause I don't have all day for this bullshit, so you either get to the point of

removing yourself for the property'' the scroll guy step forward is that a threat he said stepping

forward I don't make threats mister whoever you are I make promises, I said pushing past him and

going back to near the woods and took up the piece of pig carcass swinging it over my shoulder

making sure to avoid the razor-sharp spikes that were sticking out of its back like daggers. I drag

out of I walk to the back and drop the animal on a stone bed that I had fixed up and I took went

took up my knife from the side .I plunge the knife into the chest of the animal I heard the ribs crack,

and force it open I took out the heart of the boar I put it to one side then and then dug deeper.

going elbow deep and I felt its lung and I open it and cut it loose before pulling it out placing it on

the stone table and I saw the soldiers come around the back what do you want the man with the

scroll gritted his teeth but forced a smile you have been summoned by the king because you are

one of the four warriors of legend set to find the orb of horus and bring it back-- pass I rip the

creature's ribcage out excuse me what the guy said looking at me blankly I frowned and here I

thought you would have been intelligent I thought you would understand the answer don't you

understand this was a direct order from the king the fate of the whole kingdom maybe even

the whole world depends on you I put down the knife and started to look around I lifted up the bull

carcass and then look under the table what are you looking for the man with the scar ask me I am

trying to find a fuck to give the scroll guy went absolutely livid and made a dive at me the guy with

the scar and the held him back as he swings wildly at me I smirked temper, temper I said with a

he tried to lunge at me one more time I just took a step back the man with the

scar look t me without blinking his brown eyes staring into my soul by at least listen you have been

chosen by the gods to complete this task it is there will, I felt anger rising and boiling in me how

dare you I jump up to where the hell was your gods when my mom was fighting for her life I was

praying every day and none of them listen to me, I made hundred of sacrifices where was god when

I asked him why my fucking dad left and I have to sit and watch my mother suffer and I ask for her

to get better don't tell me about the god they never helped me why the fuck should I help them''!.

when I was done my whole body was shaking and my breath was short and ragged and my hand

was clench around the knife the two men were astonished now out I said in a low voice firm voice

the man walks out and I heard them on their horse and thundering away. I look at the knife in my

a hand I felt my body shaking and my lips quivering it felt good to finally get that off my chest but

now I just feel open and vulnerable the men hopefully wouldn't tell anybody I sighed I finish

cleaning up the animal I skin it and put it inside I took up all the waste parts in a bad to carry

out in the woods, I look up in the sky as I walked the sun had gone down and the darkness was

spreading all over the sky an inky black canvas with a beam of light usually shinning in the picture it

was gone now a black abyss that has no light in a way it was reflecting how I was feeling at the

the moment while mocking me at the exact same time I reach the forest and open the bag I dump

it in the forest he's coming, hide, don't make him mad the panic voice whispered in the forest I felt

like something was watching me this overwhelming dark presence I turn and run up the hill as I felt

the presence close behind me I heard an inhuman growl which gave an adrenaline boost to my

body and I willed my leg to run even faster when I reach the front door I tore it open and jump

inside closing it behind me the feeling of fear left me I felt my heart pounding against my chest,

my heart slamming against my ribcage I took a deep breath in and did some small breathing to

calm my nerves when I had finally calmed down I look over at where my mother was, she was fast

asleep unbothered by me rushing in and slamming the door a smile comes on my face I went

adjacent to her and lean on the wall and watch her as I slowly drifted off to sleep.

I was in a grand garden the floor of it was made out of porcelain the flowers were made

out of different colors, some were gold and some were silver there were chairs there were

different people there they seem normal but the power that was radiating off them made it pretty

obvious there was a man on stage there was a hostile aura coming off him in he was dressed in a

black suit he had curly black hair and pitch black eyes welcome everyone he said outstretching

hand with an accent that I could not quite put my finger on. I gather you here for some great news

my wife Nephthys is set to have a child cheers erupted from the group I would like for my brother

king Osiris to join me on stage there was silence suddenly a man stood up and walk to the stage he

was green wearing royal attire and carrying a flail and cane he smiles brother you know you don't

have to address me like that we are family the mysterious man smile but it was face and stretch

across his face I know it is my day he continued but I got a gift for you. what is that I got you a

tomb for when you die we can bury you like a king he said smiling creepily but the green god was

too busy studying the box but I am not sure if it fits just get in and see if it fits the green man look

at him hesitantly before he smiles anything for you brother he said perkily I felt a knot form in the

pit of my stomach a feeling of dread overcome me I open my mouth to shout for him to stop but

my tongue felt like it was sand and my muscles felt like a stone he sat down in the box and before

anybody could do anything he pulls down the strap on the coffin there was a cutting sound and

blood splash out of the coffin the man started to laugh maniacally as he lifted his hand darkness

started to surround the box it completely covers it and when it disappears the box was gone the sky

turn red and fire started to fall from the sky run he said through gritted teeth and I woke with a

jolt.

I look around and saw that I was no longer in my house instead I was in the woods I was on the

ground I sat up straight the wound from early seem to vanish my leg and arms felt stiff I work out

the stiff feeling in my arm when suddenly a light I saw the horn of a bull I got up and walk to it,

turning it darted off into the woods I ran after it and I went deeper and deeper into the forest when

I reach the middle of the forest the bull had disappeared I look around that was impossible how the

fuck an animal of that seize just vanish into thin air I search more until the smell of smoke caught

my attention I saw smoke coming from the top of the hill mom I shouted as I darted through the

forest and started to rush when I reach the end of the forest and I ran up the hill and I was horrified

when I saw my small house on fire the fire was raging on I felt my heart tear into a million pieces

I felt numb and my legs felt like they wouldn't move out of the corner of my eye I saw a man in

a red cloak suddenly I felt the anger start to well in me he did this he was responsible for my

mothers death I jump up and run at him he saw me and took off but I didn't give up I sprinted after

him and when I got close enough I tackle him to the ground he struggles around but one swift

punch to the face shut them up I use my hand and pull back the robe I realize it was a woman with

salt and pepper hair she had two different color eyes one green and one blue who sent you I said I

am not telling you anything she spat at me fine I said as I punch her in the chest just hard enough

to knock the wind out of her she started to gasp for air I step back and watch them gasp for air she

turn over and went started to cough I took a running start and kick the person in the chest kicking

them over on their back tell me who sent you never I gritted my teeth and step back and got a

running start and kick her again in the head causing a big gash on her head as she fell over I was

done playing games I want an answer and I want them now I walk over to her she looks at me with

absolute hatred in her eyes she jumps up at me and swung at me I dodge and punch her in

the stomach she swung again this time I dive under her and grab her up in the shoulder and judo

flip her slamming her into the ground and step on her hand she screams out in pain tell me what I

need to know she look at me and sigh if I do this will you let me go sure why not I said well all I

know is that I was sent here to burn this house down to send a message did you know someone

was in there her face twist into one of sadness I didn't know there was someone in there I felt my

anger rise and I violently step down on her hand there was a snap that resonated through the air

and I saw the bone pushing against the skin tell meI she winches at the tone of my voice well I was

apart of this church known as the church of the chaos god, they told me that if I wanted to join they

said I had to prove myself they choose this home cause they said it was abandoned so they task

I burn it so I did but they never told me anyone was living her I clench my fist and grab her throat

and please let me go I was innocent I have children I need to protect she kept talking but her voice

started to drown out and the silence started to surround me my eyes turn to the building that was

still, on fire I started to walk aimlessly I didn't realize where I was until I felt searing heat off the fire

hitting my face she slaps my hand and as she begs for her life but her words fell on deaf ears I kick

the door open as the fire rage on I flung her into the burning house she screams when she got in

but I clasp my hand together as a shockwave erupted from my hand the ground shook and the

house collapse in and I heard her scream as the rubble fell on her and the fire rage on she scream

but it soon died down and I just laid there numb not happy not sad nothing I laid there on the

ground as I slowly drifted off to sleep.

I was kicked I open my eyes and look up and my vision was blurry close my eyes and waited for

my eyes to adjust I saw that it was the soldiers from before I got up and look and only saw ashes

where my house use to be I felt my stomach churn and pain shot through my heart they led me to

a carriage that was waiting on me it was beautiful but then again everything around men

seem to be blank and lifeless I let them lead me into the carriage I didn't even have the energy to

resist I needed to be somewhere else and this place brought back so many memories of when I

was the carriage I look at the burnt remains of my once childhood home I drifted off to sleep I woke

at random intervals and I was awoken by being slightly nudged I open my eyes and I rub my eyes

as my eyes adjusted to the darkness I saw that the carriage was in front of this motel I climb out my

joint was aching I stretch and my joints crack. how long have I been out I turn my entire top half

something didn't feel right it feels like I am in a puppet for about two days I stop two days I asked

again in awe and cofusion how the fuck was I out for two days he shrugs his shoulder we walk in

and went upstairs and saw that the scar face man and the scroll guy was there in the room there

were only two beds, two beds I said making my voice be heard I am glad to see that your awake we

thought we lost you there for a second I pointed toward the two beds not feeling like using my

voice oh that's all we could afford he said apologetically well it is fine you can sleep on the ground

your social class of people is used to being in the dirt the scroll guy said who was on one of the

beds I felt the anger build up in me do we have a problem I said as I step closer to him he=

laughed dryly I would flatten you in a fist to fistfight let's go then I am tired of your uptight bitchy

attitude alright then he said as he got up and walk towards the exit we went downstairs and we

started to circle each other he smirked at me we circle each other none of making a move fighting

I won't bring your mother back he said with a grin I felt my blood boil as I rush at him and swung

at him he swerves under me and punches me in the side I grunted in the pain as he pushed me

again pushing me back he jabs twice punching me in the nose I stumble back as he punches me in

the eye I was blinded for a couple of seconds he punches me in the jaw knocking me to the

ground I slowly open and close my eyes as my eyes just to see another fist heading for my face I

put my hand up to block him but he just slams his fist against my ears as a ringing sound radiated

in my head, I swung my hand wildly as he steps back taking a fighting stance looking at me amused

your mother died because you were not strong enough to protect her he said flatly my blood felt

like it was on fire I rush at him he swung at me I dodge him and punch him in the stomach he

doubles over in pain I jump knee him in the face he fell over on the ground I kick him get up and

fight me he groaned get up and fight me you fucking coward I got close enough and before I knew

he had grabbed my hand and put me in a triangle chokehold I arch my back and tried to get out of

it but his hold was strong I could feel his legs tighten around my throat my breathing started to

slow down I saw black spots dance in my vision and I found it harder and harder to breathe the

darkness around me started to close in I saw the scar face man running comes to tell him to stop

but before he reaches me there was a ringing sound in my ear I look up ag the night sky I saw

clouds form and there was a flash and I heard a boom I loom as lightning hit one of the trees and it

went up in flames I felt a searing heat in my am I look and saw that there were flails and cane

tattoo that made an x the scroll guy jump up and step back as I look at the tattoo on my hand

glowing started to dim down until it became faint and went away. There was an awkward silence so

we know which god you represent the scarface guy knelt and the scroll guy reluctantly knelt all hail

the proxy of lord Osiris king of the dead.....
