Chapter 1 - New world

Kaiser POV

'Watching the city from up here seems kind of nice, who would've thought the view from the palace's prison would be so beautiful' I thought to myself

Well I've only had myself to talk with over the past few days, and once in a while when Kara pops up which i told her to stop doing.

"Even tho I am in prison waiting to be executed, for the first time in my life, I feel like i am free. I feel like I am my own man and not who my father wants me to be and if that's all I am going to feel before I die, then so be it. Strangely it feels good anyway" I thought smiling to myself

"Son" i heard the familiar voice of my mother behind me

"Good afternoon Queen" said not turning to face her

"Is that how you address your mother Kaiser ?" She asked calmly and somehow sad, although I wasn't buying it

"Mother ?" I scoffed. "You mean the woman who would watch me get murdered by her husband ? No, you're the Great Queen of Kriztic" i said still not facing her

"Kaiser I have always known you had fire in you, I knew you were more like your father than me, but I didn't think it was this serious, why are you as stubborn as your Father ? Why won't you marry Kayla ? She's beautiful and..."and would help strengthen our kingdom if I get married to her, yeah yeah yeah I've heard that like a thousand times now and I'm done listening to it" I said interrupting her.

"Kaiser please, your father would really do this if you do not change your mind. You might think I hate you but I know you know I do not want to lose you son" She said sadly

"Mother what are you really doing here ? Where's Krizrick? Shouldn't you be like, I don't know, patting his back and cleaning up his messes like you always do ?" I said turning to facing her for the first time since she got here

"Kaiser don't you dare talk to me like that, I am your mother " She said, clearly angry by what I had just said

"You should go, Mother" said emphasizing on the Mother

"I hope you change your mind son" she said, then turned around and left

"Good now I can go back to looking at the view" I thought to myself

"Kaiser" I heard someone whispering

I turned abruptly, only because no one was allowed to see me, so I was wondering who it could be knowing it's impossible to get past the guards without raising an alarm.

"Kai" heard again

"Kara arrgh stop doing that" I said weakly because of how tired I have gotten from carrying tons of gold strapped all over my body

"Doing what ?" Kara said smiling, then came out of the corner she was hiding

"Sneaking up on me like a little baby "I stated knowing she'd get angry

"What ? Take that back right now Kai "Kara said with her eyes now glowing"

"Or what ?" I said trying to get under her skin

"Or I'll break you out of here " she said, then smiled"

"No, you can't do that, and I thought I told you to stop coming here " I said

"But I can and I will and I also can't stop coming here really" she stated

"Well I won't let you break me out of here, everyone would know it's you....You're the only one who goes everywhere without being seen and..."and I am also the only one father won't punish for any crime" she said interrupting me.

"This is different Kara, he hates me for going against him, he won't let this go if you do the same, I can't let you get hurt because of me" I said firmly but calmly too

"But .... "No buts Kara, that's my decision. I am facing the consequences of my actions alone"

"So stop talking and tell me all about what you have been up to" I said switching topic

She makes a puppy face then keeps blinking rapidly

"I said you should tell me about what you've been up to, not blink " i said frustrated by her juvenile act

"Kai, you just told me to stop talking " she said still making a puppy face

"Okay fine go away Kara" I said like I meant it

"Can't I mess with my big bro before he dies ?" She said smiling

"If I didn't know better, I'd think you're actually happy I am going to die soon" I smiled

"Maybe I am " she smiled back

.

I spent the rest of the day catching up on the things Kara has been up to.

We have always been close, very close. When she started discovering her powers, I was the first person that knew because she cried so much whenever she had visions, at least that was what she thought it was, not knowing they were portals.

Then she learned about her time slowing abilities. I have always been with her and she has always been with me when I was being pushed by father to learn about war strategies, learn swordsmanship, archery, how to be a man of virtues and many more.

Also when he sent me to war with 10 men against a whole army and demanded I come back with the head of the enemy's general, I barely survived that mission but I did get the head of the general. I earned respect from the whole kingdom on that day. It felt good but no young prince should have to go through that.

I have always loved to paint but father forbade it, yeah I hate him. I wanted to love and please him before but now I just hate him.

.

Few days later

There was a ceremony in the palace, I could hear sounds of drums and songs over the past two days.

I heard the door the where I was kept creaking open, so I looked up

"Well how the mighty have fallen " Krizrick my twin said coming into my cell

"Isn't it the great Prince Kaiser, how are you brother ? "He said smugly, obviously pleased I was going to die soon

"I know you're wondering how I got in here, well I am now the crown prince to the throne, so I stopped by to tell you" Krizrick smiled

"Won't you congratulate me brother ?"

He kept saying all sort of things to get a reaction from me but I gave away nothing and kept a plain face

"Well you're going to die soon, I guess you're too sad to say anything Brother " he said smiling then turned to leave

"Clean your mouth " i said plainly

"What ? " He said looking puzzled

"You have poop on your lips"

"He wiped his mouth which had nothing on it...from kissing father's ass, Brother" I said calmly

"You're going to die, and I am going to watch you die "he said clearly pissed

I smiled back at him then he left.

One day later

"Kai " i heard Kara whisper..."Kai wake up"

"What is it you little pest "I said trying to joke around with her like I always do

But she has tears in her eyes

"Kara what is it ? Did someone hurt you? Did Krizrick hurt you ? What's wrong tell me right now? "I said, ready to break off these damn gold chains. I don't know if I can but I would try

"I love you big brother " she smiled

"What ? "I was confused

"Father says you are to be executed by midnight "she said

"Okay, am tired of being in chains anyways "I said plainly

"I have something to show you, one last time brother " she said pleadingly

"What is it? " I asked

"It's something I discovered a while back but I didn't tell you because you warned me against using my teleporting abilities to places I don't know, because you might not know how to find me like the last time I did that " she said calmly but I knew whatever she was about to tell me, I won't like it

"Okay ?" I frowned

"Look brother" she said then opened a teleport

"It's a strange world, I discovered it while I was trying to see how vast our land is " she said lowly

"You did what ? What else did you do ? Tell me Kara " I was pissed

"Nothing brother, I promise " she said looking innocent and making a cute face with her watery eyes

"I hate it when you cry " I said feeling bad for getting mad at her

"And I can't watch you die " she said coming around my me

"What? "I said then tried to turn around to face her"

Next thing I know I am being pushed really hard from behind into the portal

"KARA !!! " I yelled

All I saw was bright light then I hit the ground in a piece of land that felt different than our world

Suddenly I felt different, I felt more powerful and stronger.

I just felt the power surge through me.

"Fuck !!! Who are you ? How did you survive that fall Mann!! And is that gold all over you ? Wtf !!! "I turned to see someone moving closer to me

'What the hell did Kara do' I thought to myself rhetorically.
