"Huh? What is this?" Mark looked at the seen before him. He looked at the boy lifting a shapeless fluid, it straightened and turned into a long solid crimson scythe, it fell into the boys grasp after it's transformation.
"Huh, that scythe. It looks like seen's" he tried to touch the boy but he phased through;
"Hmm, so am watching seen's past? Is this what death feels like?," he kept quiet and began to watch seen's past.
...
The door opened even wider than it was, a man in his late 40's entered with three boys behind him. One had blonde hair, another jet black hair and the last grey.
"So my son has done it," the man said when he looked at seen who was holding a scythe, His face lacked emotion like that of a killer.
"Attack them," the man said, and seen obliged. Like a parpet moving to it's masters movements. Seen lunged forward and slashed the boy in jet black hair. Seeing this the two other boys began to run. Before the blonde boy could get far, his head fell to the ground. Seen's scythe absorbed the boys blood.
The old man slowly walked behind seen his movements very deliberate;
"Hurry up, find the last one." He commanded indifferently.
"okay father," seen's short response was menacing but the man wouldn't be scared of a little kid, so he turned away then disappeared.
...
Seen was chasing the grey haired boy, the grey haired boy seemed to be faster than seen.
"Ha, ha," the grey haired boy ran as fast as he could, what was happening? His father ordered seen to kill his brothers and he was the last of them. He ran and ran, trying to gain more distance. After a few minutes of running he made it to the mansions exit.
He looked up excitedly and said;
"Finally," his voice was filled with hope now.
"Yes, finally." Seen appeared infront of the exit.
The boy fell back, when he tried to run a sharp pain pierced his leg. When he looked to what it was he found seen's scythe;
"Little brother, please don't. Don't kill me, I've been good to you whole my life," he said desperately, he momentarily forgot about the pain on his leg.
"Seen, remember our promise," he said.
Seen didn't listen, he pulled out his scythe and swung it towards the boy.
"Leave together in peace!" The boy screamed in a pained voice.
When seen heard this the scythe in his hand disappeared, he fell on the ground and began whirling in pain.
The grey haired boy got up and was about to run, but when he heard seen's scream he went to check on him.
"Are you okay seen?" He asked worried.
"please, please leave Orion." Seen whirled.
"i- I can't leave, " Orion doubtfully said, he was scared of seen now but they had been together all these years, he couldn't leave him in pain. Seen didn't care much about Orion but Orion cared about seen very much, he was the only brother of his that didn't mock his failure.
"I'll find you some day, leave... I feel like I want to kill you," seen sincerely said.
Orion was scared, so he got up and ran to the door;
"I'll come back for you, I promise." He said and ran outside as if he was not injured. Blood made a trail behind him. Seen on the other hand had fallen unconscious.
...
When seen woke up, he found himself on the bed, his dad and his two sisters. His two sisters where twins and they archived there bonding when they where 16. Since then they become there dad's favorite kid.
Seen looked at them terrified, he moved back little by little bit his dad's voice stopped him;
"You can't run, when you learn bonding. You'll never disobey anyone who's above you. And am above you. Forget about your brothers and mother that you killed" he stopped before continuing;
"from today you'll grow up to be my strongest child. With you my dreams to become immortal will be possible,"
"no I don't want!" Seen shouted with all the courage he could master.
"It's a command, kill anyone in your way. From today you'll become the blood reaper seen," his dad spoke and got up.
Seen's eyes turned white and his scythe materialized behind him;
"Yes dad," he answered.
From there seen took on missions, he slaughtered everyone friend or foe, he continued to take his fathers mission until he reached 18. He was nolonger a fencer, he now had to overcome the last level. He was now a level 5 knight a step away from meister. He lost his will and become a parpet of his father sometimes he would regain control but it became harder and harder to take back control.
...
Seen entered the house, the huge house was the only place he found some peace.
"Little brother, you're back." One of the twins walked out of her room and leaned against a wall.
"Don't talk to me saline," seen responded calmly. He didn't want to associate with any of his relatives.
"Awe, am offended. You should be more respectful." She said.
"I said don't talk to me," seen's voice was now indifferent.
"You'll lose friends if you carry on like this, polyo is with dad. She'll kill you if you enter dad's room," she said.
"I would like to see who could kill me, " his scythe appeared on his back.
Seen entered his dads room and got an assignment, on his way outside a teenage girl in her Early sixteens confronted him.
"Hey, stop" she said, her voice was sweet and innocent, even seen didn't expect this but he somehow didn't feel like attacking her, his scythe didn't appear so it meant that she wasn't a threat;
"You shouldn't be near this house, leave." He told her worried about her safety.
"Am here for an important mission, follow me, I'll show you." She ran out and seen followed not wanting to lose her.
...
When they stopped running they stopped infront of a rundown building. It wasn't too small, it looked like it could fit furniture and a bed. The place they were in was in the forest so they were surrounded by trees and grass.
"Why are we here?" Seen calmly asked.
"come in, blood reaper." She said. Immediately seen heard the name, his scythe materialized in his hand. He swung it at the girl.
*Clang* the sound was loud and it caused a shockwave to be released. The person who blocked seen's scythe was non other than Mark. Not in his real body but the body of the girl's brother.
"Don't touch my sister," mark said menacingly. When mark was watching seen's passed a piece of him somehow found itself in this body, he felt like he was watching everything and again he experienced things as the girls brother. Mark hadn't revealed anything to the boys sister, he kept playing the boys brother.
The shockwave had created a distance between seen and mark.
"What is your name?" Seen coldly asked.
"my name is cadence," mark spoke, his black scythe still in his hand when he looked at seen. Mark didn't have all his memories he felt like he was himself but again like another person. He could see everything like a memory but somehow experience it fully in the body of cadence.
"Cadence, be respectful you said he would help us," the girl loudly scolded.
"Uhh, sorry Mary." Cadence spoke and his scythe disappeared.
"What do you want from me?" Seen curiously asked.
"you're going to attack the river of life?" Cadence asked, even after knowing the answer.
"How do you know?" Seen's voice grew colder.
"you're antagonising the wrong people, " cadence spoke. The people who Inhabited the river of life where the most peaceful people of this world. They only fought when someone sort there treasure.
"Stay away from me," seen was about to disappear but then his hand stretched and held onto Mary. He disappeared together with Mary.
"Mary!" Cadence screamed.
"Shit, I'll save you," mark went back in the house and prepared to leave.
...
The River of Life, the community shimmered with serenity. Homes were crafted from reclaimed wood and glass, blended into the hillside. Green roofs bursted with vibrant wildflowers and fragrant herbs. The place was heaven for it's residents.
The residents strolled along the riverwalk some of their expressions calm, others cheerful. There faces reflected the tranquility of the harmonious place. Soft laughter intertwined with gentle breezes, created a soothing melody for the ear. Some Children chased butterflies, joyously, while the other children where swimming in the river.
The river stretched a mile-long, it's most shimmered as the sun's rays were cast upon it. The river radiated an ethereal glow which could entice onlookers.
Deep within the river seen and Mary appeared. Due surprise to were she appeared Mary tried to scream and ended up drowning. Seen hurried and saved her, he swam out of the water and two kids swimming saw them. The hurried swam to their said and aided them.
When they got on land, seen sat as the two kids used some sort of magic to save Mary.
«how did I get careless, I was supposed to appear on land. Shit I also lost the teleporting dagger.» seen thought. He had onto the dagger ever since his mother died, it helped him escape situation that could lead him to deaths. But now he couldn't even go back.
"Are you okay big brother?" One of the children asked seen, her little face ached with worry.
"Yeah am fine, help the big sister over there," seen spoke pointing at Mary. The little girl nodded vigorously and went to attend to Mary who had now woken up.
Seen got up and dusted the dirt from his back, he was now with the water the little girl came to him again;
"Big brother come to my home, my mother and father will help you dry your clothes."
The little boy agreed with her sister immediately;
"Yes and will eat some delicious food at home."
Seen looked at Mary who was still looking lost. He thought about it for some seconds and agreed.
As they strolled the roads to the two childrens house, the people of the village didn't look at Mary and seen as strangers but as invited guests.
Mary smiled back at the people and looked at seen then anger enveloped her again. Seen sensed the glare, then he looked at her. Her eyes were firely, seen hadn't yet explained why he had kidnapped her here. She didn't plan to talk to him until she heard his explanation.
"You can keep glaring if you want, but I suggest you make it less obvious." Seen calmed said.
"you even have the guts to speak to me like that. Why did you kidnap me," Mary fumed.
Seen scoffed, he himself didn't know why he had grabbed her before teleporting, so why would he give an answer to her.
"Stop ignoring me bastard!" Mary stomped her foot on the ground.
The two little kids chuckled, they had seen a fight like this before. From their parents.
"Are you guys married?" The beautiful little girl asked as the four kept walking.
"Me, married to him?! Never!!" She answered angrily.
Seen shook his head and kept following the kids quietly.
«why did I take her along, my mission is of importance. But I feel the same about this girl. What sort of feeling will I get when I leave her? No, I need to find the village chief, I'll ask about him when meet the boys parents » seen decided In his heart.
The two kids showed seen and Mary their house. The children's parents welcomed them and offered them to stay the night. After dinner seen walked outside. He didn't ask about the village chief yet but he was going to later. If he spent a little Time with Mary.
He made it to the beach, and sat down.
"Wow, I thought you were going to attack the people now. Did you change your mind?"Mary asked, she had been following behind him for a while.
"Don't speak like you had a chance of stopping me," seen spoke. Mary sat besides him.
"Tell me about yourself, let's forget about killing the people today," seen suggested.
" We won't forget about that!" Mary insisted and the night went on.
