The curator read the final words , kitera of no house , died serving the system, our condolences to him , Alicia started crying harder as his coffin was being put into the ground , Marcus walked up to Alicia to console her he put his hands around her shoulder and she turned her head into his chest to cry , tera was trying to pull his mum away , so his grandparents carried him aside to stand with them and his sister who was in the arms of Marcie, the picture for the news platforms was taken at the moment and the news published. All this happened a few weeks ago, but Kitera was stuck in a cell so he wasn't aware.
Kron came closer to kitera with the gun pointed at his heart now and said "I am not your enemy"," who is your enemy" he asked kitera, kitera replied "I don't know" , who is your enemy he said again louder " Marcus " kitera said , to which he received a resounding slap across the face with blood dripping from his mouth, who is your enemy human " the houses" , "wrong" kron replied as he came closer to kitera, his forehead and kiteras forehead was touching.
Kron began speaking do you think the world only consist of this star system and blue crystals, the world is vast and endless, with houses and powers everywhere, if it isn't a family, it will be a government, if it isn't a government it will be another race, or a natural disaster, a plague , a black hole, all seeking to destroy all wanting to take all wanting to destroy , to make your life hell , who is your enemy boy he asked again in a very loud voice for the whole hall to hear " the world " ," the whole deep Blue World " he screamed out , the hall became quiet, then kron came very close and hugged him and lifted him up from the ground, and cheered,your one of us now he cheered as he dropped him down the whole hall cheered for him too.
Kitera stood there confused then kron went back to his sit and asked him what do you want to do now , "I want to have revenge for everything" he said , for my birth, why did I have to suffer ,why did I have to grow up poor why did I have to sign my life away, why am I so powerless, why do I have stand and watch my wife been taken away and there is nothing i can do", the other great pirates in the hall laughed as they heard him speak, kron then spoke "so what are you waiting for , isn't that a gun in your hand, didn't your Friend over there use it on you. Take your revenge "
"I can't " kitera said it's not right , kron was losing patience, he spoke with anger now, when they sent you to the station to die where the nobles right or wrong, aren't you a servant of the nobles to serve and obey their commands, have you and your ancestors not sworn loyalty to them, the nobles have asked you to die , is it not right that you die, shoot yourself then" . Listen to me kron said " right or wrong doesn't matter , all that matters is what you want , isn't it right to die if nature or the universe wants to destroy you , didn't they give you life , are they not right to take it back, the rules are made for slaves, you are free , so what do you want" he said as he came closer to kitera , I want revenge then take it , the pirate stood there thinking the worst that could happen was that he would be bashed by the gun , he didn't want to look scared In Front of his bosses,
Kitera raised the gun and bashed the gun into the pirate knocking him down," is that all you want " kron asked , no kitera said, he remembered this pirate had gone into a cell with female captured and committed horrors, he raised the plasma rifle and loaded it to the max and blasted the pirate into oblivion, while the pirates was screaming now, his eyes. Was wide open in horror when he died only , his legs and and head was left after the blast, the great pirates in the hall cheered after looting and stealing, they loved destruction almost as much , but only if it made them richer, they had lost a grunt pirate but they had gained the most promising engineer of this star system in their eyes this was a profit and they were ready to kill a 1000 more if they had to to win him over, they knew who he was, they had only gone to raid a space station they were not expecting this added bonus, kron had brought back a treasure.
Kitera's heart had lost its light , he was walking down a path of no return without knowing, "what of the rest of the pirates that ruined your life , do you want to kill them" , he replied . I should reward them with a chance to dance for my benefit not now , "good , good, good" kron said " I knew i made the right choice with you destruction should only be a means to and end not the end " never forget that kitera never forget that" now come and sit with me the auction must go one. Kron had decided to take kitera under his wing the moment he had seen him in the cell , he came along with the pirates because there was stg fishy about the information they got about the space station, why did their source want the pirates to urgently cover it up he came to find out what's going on, and he wanted to know he was one of the the 3 pirate kings in this star system , he started from the scratch, he saw a lot of himself in kitera, he was born in a private zoo of a noble where he was used for entertainment he escaped with pirates when the nobles space ship was attacked and since then he had been a pirate, he was not a great scientist or engineer, but he had great intellect ,he grew up watching the nobles play chess ,he had read all the books owned by the noble on the captured ship when he was still young , and never stopped seeking knowledge, he had grown into a great historian, strategist and negotiator, he was a great business mind, he had the pirates to fight and work for him and finally he had a inventor to bring to life whatever he could think off. His plans were finally getting in order. Kitera stood behind him giving him advice on technologies and researches that were being auctioned, kitera had shifted smoothly into his new role only time will tell how far he will go along this path.
