••• Emperor Xenam Tudilus the 3rd pov
This would be my last meeting for the day in addition to this small nation Erickson Vo Vali was also able to secure an alliance with a small elven clan for the price of a small forest the only problem being the insult to my son's honour.
That was a problem for another time so I focused myself on the matter at hand the representative from this small nation talked a big game but the letter from Erickson was astounding.
Apparently all infront of the city was a scene of carnage and blood and that they have weapons of mass destruction Erickson was once a trusted friend so I doubt he would lie to me.
But more importantly apparently the representative was a seer capable of making predictions of the future so when I saw a mature looking man with golden hair and red eyes it was exactly what I had imagined.
He introduced himself as Zeth Frena of Serothor the second prince however something felt a little off the prince never mentioned the name Frena in any documents that was exchanged nor did the king.
His clothes look expensive but not noble made he smiled before he started walking towards me I spoke.
"Stop there"
He appeared frightened a strange reaction for a noble it was common to uphold distance but he was only a second prince of a micro nation so I asked him a question.
"Before you come close tell me my future!"
He looked confused but he spoke.
"I see death and decay darkness and rot a grave with no headstone"
Hmm it was a pretty morbid prediction and had no details at all anyone could say that but I didn't care too much I told him to approach the table where the contracts were located.
That's when I felt something as if all my aura was slinking away I tried to activate my aura but I felt something stopping it that's when I looked up and that's when I saw it.
He held a dagger in one hand while in the other was a red and black stone it was a demonic crystal! they completely stopped the activation of aura within in ten metres if supplied with blood.
I reached for my sword but it was slightly out of reach currently I was wishing I learned magic Instead of swordplay.
Then a metal spear pierced the prince through the gut then I saw a red string pull back the spear to a suprisingly young man that did not look a day past 19.
He was covered in sweat and black soot his fine noble clothes torn and soaking wet covered in unknown substances.
He looked towards me and his soot covered mouth spoke with a power only a leader could have.
"My name is Zeth of Serothor I am the second prince, the general and representative of Serothor I have travelled far to meet you emperor Xenam Tudilus"
He slightly bowed showing his perception of our relationship to be one of respect and not subservience which made sense with our arrangement.
I looked at the man on the floor and suddenly a rage that filled my body••• back to normal
I hadn't actually anticipated all the soot and sharp rock edges that would be in the ventilation system I made it to the meeting room next to the throne room and climbed out the vent to see a man running towards the emperor.
I without thinking grabbed the staff off my back activated my bloodline and aura attached the red string to my staff activated spear mode and threw it with all my aura enforced strength towards the man.
I introduced myself using the loudest most commanding voice I could use with all the dust and ash in my lungs.
"My name is Zeth of Serothor I am the second prince, the general and representative of Serothor I have travelled far to meet you emperor Xenam Tudilus"
A few seconds passed as his face of confusion turned in anger as he looked towards the imposter the emperor of the empire had two weaknesses his family and his anger issues.
A powerful aura radiated from the emperor lighter than gold close to the fourth stage it was surrounding him he crushed what looked to be a demonic crystal and walked towards the man.
He reached out his hand and grabbed the man's head the man screamed out as blood started seeping out his ears and nose due to the pressure in his skull.
"AaAH FOR JORYAC! ahhh Wait! please stop STOP STOOOOOP!"
I heard a popping and crackling sound and saw the king's hands completely in the man's head he pulled out his hands and the body of the man fell to the floor.
He turned around smilled and spoke to me.
"Apologies for the ghastly scene now please tell me why you are in that state? I must compensate you but first please tell me my future"
I walked a little closer to him trying to ignore his blood covered hands and spoke.
"emperor Xenam to tell your future I must activate my bloodline and it needs to touch you may I?"
He nodded and I reactivated my bloodline and the red string went towards him and went inside his chest and touched his heart.
Suddenly images flowed into my mind and I spoke as much as possible to give him all the information.
"I see a sunset that doesn't have a rise eternal dusk I see you as a conduit for the sun and turning the flow of day backward to dawn, however once used a conduit loses life you shall die bringing the dawn"
I deactivated my bloodline and the king spoke.
"Perfect now I can recognise my time of death I hope you give me some better information but let's adjourn for now and you tell me how it is you that you are in my castle in that horrid state"
I just realised that I have a lot of explaining to do.
