Chereads / Darkness and Vengeance / Chapter 3 - Trail Of Tears

Chapter 3 - Trail Of Tears

The memory fades with the pain, and all I feel is anger and regret, and sadness. I stand to see the destruction brought on by the king and his soldiers. All the maids were strung about looks like they had been assaulted before they were killed. There's almost nothing left of the property. The rubble was pillaged by the soldiers. I hear the crowing of a raven perched on top of a cross, and my heart sinks. I ran towards it in a panic to see that it was my father. With grieving tears pulling him down from the cross with the heavy loss, I scream in rage and sadness. My body pulses as my hatred for the pope, and the king grows. black and violet flames explode around engulfing everything covering the mansion, maids, and my father. I watched as everything turned to ashes within minutes. There was nothing. A glint of light shining from the evening sun bounces off of something shiny in my father's ash. I reach down to pull out my father's wedding ring gifted by my mother. I pull the string through it and tie it into a necklace.

I put the necklace on and look for any other items that may not have burned. As I looked around, I noticed a sheath for a dagger I don't recognize. I picked it up and noticed it went to the dagger that was plunged into my stomach. I grab both and some clothes to change into. As I'm changing, I notice every scar and wound has been healed completely, with no blemishes or flaws. I look into a mirror on the ground to notice my face has slightly changed. I'm gorgeous as I touch my face, and I froze thinking how much more powerful am I. I grabbed the dagger and cut my hand, and I barely felt pain as I looked at the wound. The black and purple flame poured out of my hand, healing it instantly. HAHAHAHAHA, this is fantastic, but I still have to be careful. Just because I heal quickly doesn't mean I can't be killed. As I finish changing, I hear something behind me.

I stand up and hear hey you, this property has been seized by King Zander of Ashora. Put your hands up where I can see them. I noticed that it was two patrol guards they must have heard my laughter. Well, I gotta start my revenge somewhere. Besides, I remember that voice he's the one who killed my maid. As they came to arrest me, the anger swelled inside me. I turned to rush him and tackle him it was an instant like a flashlight. I rammed into him, and he launched a good 20 yards away. The other guard instantly terrified screamed DEMON!!!! THERE'S A DEMON!!!! I grabbed my dagger and threw it at the terrified guard. He fell instantly. As I walked up, it looked like the dagger was his new nose. I laughed as I pulled out the dagger and started walking over to the other guard. He was trying to crawl away, but I flipped him over and grabbed his foot, and started dragging him to the cross. I noticed his chest plate was dented and he probably has a few broken ribs. He cried out who you were, and do you know who you just killed? I turn to him and lift him onto his knees.

There is no need to tell him who I am because once he sees my face, he knows you can't mistake these black eyes of mine. His face was struck with terror and said NO! I saw the archbishop kill you. You were lying over there dead for two days. I grabbed the collar of his chest plate and said I am the apostle of the goddess of darkness it is time for her to show herself once again, and I'm the one who brings her." I start to yell in his face, saying I will use you to start my revenge as well as show everyone that darkness has come! I scream in anger right in his face, then black-purple flames shoot out of my face into his face and suit of armor. Instantly, he screams in pain so loud that the innocent would flee in terror. As the flames engulf his face and body like he's in an oven, his skin chars and floats off his face till there's nothing but charred black skeleton remains. I pull the corpse up, and his lower half just falls off. Most of the armor was melted and adhered to the bones. I stuck him to the cross where they put my father, then walked over to the other body, and grabbed some blood. Then I wrote atop the cross the goddess of darkness has come. after that, I burned the body as well as my hands to get rid of any evidence that I had killed recently. After all that I started walking to the death forest there, I can relax for a moment and make a plan to figure out how I'm going to exact my revenge so no one dares to enter that forest bcs of the giant monsters in there. I head onward it took about half a day to walk, but I made it with no problems. I entered through thick bushes and branches.
