Chapter 3 - Die by my hands

"What the hell is this?" Rafael could not help but think. For several years he spent his whole nights in this illusion while others dreamt of other blissful moments. He had heard many talk of having entertaining dreams and experiencing what they always long for in reality but while their dreams were hardly repeated or dreadful his was always about this God forsaken dungeon. But just as he was about to begin enjoying his endless captivity this sadistic fellow have come to instill fear in his mind.

"Why was fate this cruel to him?" He wondered

"Who are you?" He asked him after contemplating much.

"I am Seth. The only one who will have the honor and pleasure of ensuring that the head of the anomalous prince rolls." He answered proudly beating his chest.

"The pleasure and honor of killing someone?" Rafael thought dreadfully and the urge urge to spit on this fearless figure greatly increased in him. This stout knight of the barbaric order have come into his dream paradise which he have now accepted in place of the beauty whom he expected.

Though he rightfully called him your majesty as the dream was his, he also called him and anomaly and threatened to kill him. How arrogant of him!

In the midst of his childish, internal rage, another thought occured to him; in real life, when someone has been sentenced to death, he could demand to see any relative of his choice.

He grew up in an orphanage and he was told nothing about anyone who related to him. He was only taken into the training academy as his initial hot tempered nature earned him the respect of a fighter and was spotted exhibiting what was termed and incredible battle techniques which he learnt from the TV.

"Please tell my mother I want to see her."

"My abilities for sure are formidable and unchallenged but I can not speak to or resurrect the dead this fact you surely know of your majesty." He said as he bowed mockingly.

"Just like I grew up knowing." Rafael muttered under his breath

"What of other princes or princesses or even my father, can you get anyone to talk to me?" He asked the Seth who was not yet in a hurry to go feigning worry

"They all dread and hate you just like everyone else does. I cannot bring my self to speak to your siblings about you let alone your father."

Who was the girl who visited me and why was she free around me? Rafael wanted ask but gave the idea up

"Oh." Was the only thing Rafael could say afterwards.

The man said nothing else and stared directly into his eyes bearing an intimidating smile. This made Rafael uncomfortable and began to run his eyes around in search if anything that could catch his fancy but found nothing as all these had been part of his tormenting dream from times he couldn't remember.

"Thank you for keeping me company today." Rafael spoke hoping to dismiss him.

"That is polite of you your majesty." He replied with a smile "I think it is wise of you to show this level of respect to the one who will execute you but I assure you cannot earn my pity." Seth said in a narcissistic manner and turned to go.

Since this have been my inevitable dream which I now know has something to do with his inability to sense any soul energy within me much less dense any in the surrounding. Will I be affected if I am killed here? once he began to take it a bit seriously.

"I-is th-is r-real? Rafael managed to stammer when Seth banged the door.

"Yes it is. You will surely die by my hands." He retorted.
