Chapter 2 - Chapter_02: My Curse

Wind blows calmly against the trees. Refreshing sounds of drop of water.

The sounds of birds chirping.

It was a normal day for me and my brother. "Zerx, let's go help Xerxes, come on". My Brother said as he sits next to me in the ledge of a rock. His face, his face, his face that I cannot see. A black line that covers his eyes. This was the same as other people, I can't see their eyes. I have this Curse since My Mother gave birth to me, my Mother was noble while my father was a peasant. Both of them married and my Mother birthed to my Brothers, and later me. The Youngest Son of the Morgan's, Zerx Morgan is my name, it is a name that my Father gave me. Father and Mother was in love but there was something that bothers them both, it was their belief. Their belief was different, My Father believed to "Astranology", a religion on the West Hamvell. While My Mother's belief is called "Tertascian", A belief which only the Most Powerful Noble knows and believed. For me it isn't even a belief, it is a cult. It is a cult that kills one for another one's wishes. The ritual of the cult that killed both of My Parents to remove the curse in my eye, but it didn't worked, it only made my Lifespan longer. "Oh God, Why!! Why!! Why doesn't it work!!". My Mother's last words as she held me on her arms that is filled with blood, my face that is filled blood.

SLAP!! "Welth, why did you do that?". "What are you even writing? Is that some kind of Diary, can I read it, Zerx?". Welth tries to snatch the book. "Why bother me when you can try creating your own instead, You're just lazy". Zerx said while trying to pull his books from his brother's hand. A series of kicking and punches can be seen as both brothers fought on who can get the Book. POWW!! Zerx falls as he got hit in the head with a punch. "Give up Zerx, I win" Welth laughs maniacally like a villain. "I won't" Zerx grabs the nearest rock and puts it in his brother's mouth. "I win, this time" Zerx grabs the book as he run away.

What was he thinking just now, why was he bothering me like that but I need to go back to the village and hide in my secret base. I didn't even finished my Message. I want someone to see this on the other side. I want them to help me cross the ocean. I want to go beyond the Ocean, The Capital where I once lived.

Tree!! To go around it, Zerx flings his body to the left. He gets to his feet and keeps racing towards the Village. "Zerx, if I can catch you, I'll kill you!" Zerx is running away when trees block his path. One more tree! Zerx's reaction was slow; he veered to the right to miss the tree, but there was a big boulder just next to it. He slams with the large rock with a "AHH," and the letter shoots off to the mountain's base. He stands up and jumps to the Mountain's ledge while exclaiming, "Shit!" He glides through the bottom as he drops to the enormous leaves. It should have fallen here, so where is it now?

There are lots of rocks and leaves. Oh there you are, we should return to the village, I wonder why you fell that way. I arrived at the Village. Shit! Is that Welth? I must find a place to hide. This enormous package should be fine. Why would he appear now? I'm near my hiding place. "Hey Breran, you see Zerx came over here?". "No, Master, I haven't." "That brat" Now that Welth has left, I have a chance.

Zerx moves slowly in the direction of the Barn's back. He unlocked a vent and crept through it. He creeps into the cramped space where his hiding place is. While gazing in the mirror, he places the letter on the table.

Messy white hair, worn-out attire, stretched-out and venous eyes, and an unclean face. I really should wash up, but if my plan works, I'll go back to the Capital. It's time to wrap up the letter.

"After the actions of Parents, we got exiled to the Realm of Water out by the cruel Nobles. We are now living in the Realm of Water in the West Hamvell. Where my late Father once lived. To whoever is reading this right now, help me become a Noble once more. Even if my time is shortened, I'll make the Capital the Strongest City in the Realm of Light."

I'll visit the Capital again. I ensure that this message reaches on a beach in the Realm of Light, I will place it in a bottle and cast it into the ocean. It might require months. Just adding "If you help me become a Nobel, I will grant your 3 wishes" might be enough to add some intrigue or anything that will get people to interact with the bottle.

The letter is taken by Zerx, who places it in a bottle. He moves slowly out from his headquarters and towards the harbour.

I'm about to reclaim my Noble status. To the harbour, I go.
