Chapter 2 - Chapter 2:That man is wierd

 On a mountain in the far East of Selona, swords could be heard clanking, scent of human blood lingered in the air. The soldiers of Selona were happy because the war was in their favour, the opposing soldiers were overwhelmed by the war.

 On one side of the battlefield, a man was surrounded by numerous soldiers who were fighting with all of their strengths because their opponent seems too strong, while he on the other hand, swung his sword effortlessly. His attacks were accurate, he was so agile and he seemed to be the reason the Selonan soldiers were happy.

 Long black hair could be seen dancing to the wind from under his mask, he was so talk and his silver armour made him look like a god of war. After a long term of fighting, the Selonan soldiers were seen jubilating about their victory. 

 "Commander, I think we need to take this man to the King. He's been helping us without asking for a thing" one of the soldiers said to their commander. " Yes, you're right Leonard. He'll get a handsome reward from his majesty" the commander replied him. They walked to the masked man who was busy wiping blood off his sword before putting it back in its sheath.

 "Excuse me sir" the commander called out as they approached him "how may I help you" came his calm, bold manly voice, a voice befitting an Angel. "We want to thank you for all the help you've given us in fighting the Silvian soldiers" the commander said "we hope you can go with us to the King, he would give you a handsome reward or even make you his personal guard" he added, "the commander's right, our King's nice" Leonard backed the commander up.

 The masked man just looked at them blankly then spoke up "tell your king to guard his kingdom well" he said "there's nothing he wants to offer me that I don't have folds of it at my disposal" he added before turning his back to leave "what do you mean by that, you are just an ordinary swordsman" the commander said to his back. On hearing that, the masked man stopped and turned his back to look at the duo he left behind and spoke up "I'm more than what you see on the surface" he said and kept walking, his pace faster than what any normal human could catch up to except if they ran. "That man is weird" Leonard said to the commander "gather the men and let's leave" the commander said and they set to leave the battlefield.

 The masked man kept walking until he got a secluded area of the mountain and he disappeared into thin air and all that could seen was some fiery red smoke that soon dissipated into the atmosphere.

....

 A similar kind of fiery smoke from the battlefield appeared in someplace that seemed magical, the flowers there were sparkling and some were floating in the air. The smoke started to dissipate and the masked man emanated from it and it completely dissipated.

 "Riley my dear, you're here" a young woman who seemed to be about the same age as his said to him the moment she sighted him "yes, mother" he replied the woman who happened to be his mother. "How was your stay in the mortal realm?" she asked him "it was okay mother" he replied her and tried to remove his mask "no, let me help you" she said to him smiling widely and her sparkling blue orbs complimented her full pink lips. Her waist length brown hair danced to the wind and her long lashes made her look even more beautiful. "Okay, mother" he replied her and removed his hand to allow her remove the mask.

 She stretched her hand and removed the mask revealing a down-to-earth handsome face; he had brown irises, long raven black hair, long lashes that fanned his cheeks whenever he closed his eyes. He had pale pink thin lips and a mole on his right cheek. "Thanks mother, I'd like to take a shower now" he said to her and collected the mask from her. He then went into the house which was decorated with flowers and golden ornaments on every corner.

....

 "Your highness, you called for me" a palace knight asked his liege bowing "yes, I did" he answered with a very cold, deep and authoritative voice which got the knight shaking. He was a perfect definition of down-to-earth beauty, he had brown irises, long raven lack hair, long lashes that fanned his rosy cheeks, pale pink thin lips and a mole adorned his face on his left cheek. "What can this lowly servant do for your highness" the knight asked with fear evident in his voice. "Arrange two of father's most beautiful concubines and ask them to come to my chamber tonight" he said firmly "but your highness, the heavenly emperor's concubines are meant for him alone" the knight countered and the next second he was lifted off the ground with an invisible force and he started to choke as a result of that same force strangling him.

 "You dare counter my orders?" the prince barked at him "no, your highness. I dare not" the knight said amidst coughs, "then go do as I have told you" he said and released the knight who bowed down instantly "thank you for pardoning this lowly servant. I shall carry out your order immediately" "leave now" "yes, your highness" he replied and ran out of his liege's sight. The prince smiled to himself and disappeared out of the place leaving nothing but sky blue smoke which dissipated not long after.

 The prince then reappeared in the throne hall where the heavenly emperor was having a discussion with high ranking immortals. "Hello father" he said nonchalantly waking past the immortals that already had their heads bowed the moment they heard his voice, "Dylan, you shouldn't be here. I'm having a meeting" the heavenly emperor said to his son. "I'm here because I want to tell you that I will be borrowing two of your most beautiful concubines for myself tonight" he said with a smile "why don't we talk about that later" the emperor said with a deep frown and murmurs could be heard from the immortals.

 "What is it you all are murmuring about" Dylan said with a cold voice that sent shivers down the spines of the immortals and the throne hall became silent "it's nothing your highness" one of the immortals said. "It better be, or else.." he said and faced the emperor. "Father, I hope you don't mind" he said bowing slightly to his father "I don't mind, just go" the emperor said disappointed in his son's behavior "sure, father" he said and disappeared from the hall.
