Hello everyone! I'm glad you can join me on my little or not so little adventure! I'm sorry for the slow update, I have everything written out but not edited. So I made a short story for all of you of course.
A Unhappy Life, A Unhappy End
A day of regret, years of emptiness, and an ending of sorrow.. One fateful day of a commoner and the royal princess locked eyes for the first and last time, the commoner who fought until his last breath. Before such a fateful day, a commoner with the name Faye, who worked himself to the bone to help his sick sister who was the last person he had after watching their parents' unfortunate end. His sister got sick from working too much and not eating, she gave everything to Faye. One day, Faye got into an argument with a noble's son for only him being treated more harshly than the others. Faye never cared about it in the end and took the two silver coins while everyone who had worked less than him got three gold coins. While Faye walked home at the dead of night after getting the medicine he needed for his sister that same noble kid with his guards rides by
with a sinister grin.
Faye looks ahead seeing smoke in the air, his heart starts to pound and his blood starts to boil, he rushes towards the same direction where the smoke was coming from, Faye eyes widened as the medicine he brought fell on the ground, shattering the glass and what was left of his family. From the doorway Faye could see his sister who passed away with fear on her face and bruises on her body as the fire burns away his family home. The other people in the slums watch as the fire burns on and the boy who is five years-old, falls to his knees with not tears but blood in his eyes.
A few years have passed and Faye works for the same noble who was responsible for the fire but with rage in his eyes. The day a carriage came, the noble who was treating Faye so harshly kneeled as a girl around his age walked out with a hat so big it covered her eyes. All the commoners kneel besides one person, the noble boy apologized while ordering Faye to kneel but that fell on deaf ears as Faye stared at the girl. Her knight walks over ordering Faye to kneel, in the name of the Royal Family's Princess, Katherine. As the knight tries to push Faye down he doesn't move an itch, annoyed the knight pulls out his sword about to attack Faye but soon stops as the girl speaks. She walks over to Faye who has whip scars on his whole body, he stares at the Princess who smiles at him gently. She turns away before asking the noble boy to take Faye, he agrees but under that false face lies anger.
A few tough years later, Faye is now the Personal Knight of Lady Katherine, who still hides her eyes from everyone. Faye who has more scars and a terrifying face, stands guard besides Katherine as the noble boy who is a man now talks with Katherine about how the slums cannot be helped, she orders him to help with whatever they can. The man leaves still staring at Faye with rage and anger before changing it to a sinister grin like before. As they leave, Princess Katherine, stands and walks over to the window that looks over the whole kingdom before rubbing her stomach with a smile. "What should we name him, or her even? I'm so excited! Will they be like you or will they be like me? Maybe strong headed like you or smart and tactful like me?" Katherine jumps around with happiness as Faye is still wondering about that smile that the noble man had minutes ago, he knows it's no good. Katherine places her head on Faye's chest catching him off guard, she tells him to relax nothing bad will happen especially when you're always by my side. Faye sighs before agreeing.
Amiss the night Faye wakes up in his bed spaced out, having that same nightmare over and over again. Faye leaves the castle and with his sword on his hip he walks down the same street, towards the slums, he stops in front of the house that was his family home now it's a completely different building. It was turned into a small clinic, he has a memory of his sister always wanting to be a doctor or nurse, she always wanted to help someone and take care of her younger brother. As he goes to reach for the doorknob, something explodes causing Faye to quickly turn towards the explosion. He sees the castle is being attacked and quickly rushes towards it with Katherine on his mind, once he gets there his whole world stopped as the King was killed and the Queen, but all sounds cuts out as Katherine was hung with tears in her eyes, she locks eyes with Faye as his pupils shrunk and he saw her beautiful golden eyes, she said something to him but he couldn't hear it. The knights, nobles, and some of the citizens cheered as Faye's heart stopped. He started to claw at the ground so hard his nails ripped off and his eyes were bleeding, replacing the tears.
The same nobleman who met with the Princess earlier is now chanting something. Now all Faye sees is red.. He throws the sword at the rope cutting Katherine down while killing the knight who was holding it up. They all look where the sword came from as Faye already killed two knights with his bare hands. A few hours later Faye held Katherine in his arms as bodies and bodies lay on the streets, Faye closed her eyes and gently kissed her on the forehead before placing her on the ground. He stands up pulling out a sword from one of the bodies and walks towards the castle. Entering the castle the nobleman, hiding behind the rest of the skilled guards who betrayed the King. A few moments later Faye with swords through his body and a missing arm towers above the noble man who caused him sorrow throughout his whole life. He begs and begs but none of that reaches his ears as he kills him on the spot. Covered in blood and nearing his own end he wobbles to the throne, he sits on the throne with multiple swords sticking out of him, his blood tears slowly became normal tears. Faye stabbed his sword into the ground in front of him, bodies littered all around the throne room, the shine of the sun rise beamed through the ruin castle as it reflects off the blade of his most treasured sword. Faye has a memory of when he first gotten the sword as a gift from Katherine, the only person who cared, the only one he loved. He smiles as he cries before passing away with his sword that sword. The sword reflects him and Katherine smiling for one last time... Faye died sitting up like he was alive but he had a smile for the first and last time.
The End
