"Astro Cross, you are surrounded and have no where to run, come out obediently and I promise you will not be harmed, we will grant you a fair trial, where your crimes will be judged".
These words came from a man, clad in a black, full body armour with the helmet off, and from his face we can make out his middle aged features, and next to him and behind him is a whole squadron of 30 armoured knights, not to mention the rest of the knights surrounded the this double story building. "Just leave me alone, what do you want from me".
An indifferent voice rang out from inside the building, it was low yet was heard clearly, it lacked any sort of emotion, if a corpse could speak that's what it would sound like.
"How dare you ask that! Did you not just kill the 15 years old daughter of the city lord and then left her body in front of the city lords gate, how… how dare you hide in there and speak as if you did nothing!' A older gentleman also in a suit of armour yelled out and you could see the rage in his eyes and feel it in his voice.
This is all understandable considering he was the assigned protector for Alice cromfiled, all the rage he's expressing is to conceal the regret and guilt he felt, he should've known that young man was trouble, he should've stopped Alice from ever getting close to him, what happened was still a blur to him but he does know that, the calm and indifferent youth turned into someone completely different and he couldn't do anything as he shoved a sword right through her chest.
The young man then proceeded to knock him unconscious, and when he woke up 20 minutes later he learned of the news and learned that after killing a number of knights he hid himself in the building and hasn't come out since.
" Kaiser I suggest we give him another 5 minutes if he doesn't come out, then we will destroy the building". Said the squad leader, looking at the angry protector who's name is kaiser.
…
In the said building, on the second floor in a room illuminated by some crystals, is a young man huddled in the corner, hugging his knees with his face down. This is Astro. "Why did you do that, why did you kill her, she was just a curious little girl, why did you kill Alice?"
Raising his head, you could see tears in his onyx eyes, he is in pain and his eyes just screamed "it hurts"
'You are pathetic, shedding tears for a nobody, it's her own fault for asking questions, she hurt us by bringing back horrible memories, I had to make her pay for hurting us'. a voice identical to his spoke in his mind, except this voice had a lot of malice and rage.
'Stop it, you know that's not true, you are just evil'.
'I am you'.
'I am nothing like you'.
"This is enough, I will turn myself in, and I hope they execute me and put an end to my suffering". Astro had out loud this time. 'You do that and I will kill everyone here, you know I have the power to so, you know what you need to do, use your power and take us away from here'.
Astro was quite for some time as he knew "he" was not joking about killing everyone here, he is literally a hostage in his own body, he can't even commit suicide.
Getting up from the floor, Astro raised his palm towards the wall and a dark purple magic circle appear, and right in front of him a dark purple portal appeared, he looked back, staring at his reflection in a mirror placed on the centre of the room, looking at his black and white hair.
He looked back at the portal, then he walked in.
