It was sensational and unbelievable news because Darcio wasn't just anyone. He was a man who had been preying on the weak, oppressing people and making their lives difficult. He was a man who had lived for over five hundred years. A man who had never lost a fight, and only killed and slaughtered his enemies. But on this particular night, the man who some even believed to be immortal was slaughtered by his own son.
And not even for the throne, or power. He was killed by his second son, the weak half human who had no special abilities, for revenge!
No one, not even those who were present could explain what had happened. All they saw was Darcio's dismembered corpse, and another powerful man who seemed like the devil incarnate.
If anyone had any doubts regarding how Merikh killed his father, it was all cleared when he went ahead and killed all his half brothers, even those who were not acknowledged by their father, together with their mothers.
