Three days after the ceremony ended Alex had finally woken up from his coma. He got
up and realized his body had a lot of mana flowing through him. He got up from
his bed and saw a mirror on the wall. He went to look at himself but nearly
shattered the mirror screaming.
The person Alex was seeing was not who he remembered. His hair colour had changed from a snowy
white to bloody red. His pupils , from clear blue to CRIMSON red, he started to
panic and his eyes started to glow bright.
He quickly calmed himself down and started to come to terms with his new
appearance and he knew it would take time. He yawned , opening his mouth ,
revealing 4 long K9 teeth. He closed his mouth and licked his teeth to realize
that his K9's had grown longer.
He sighed and jumped on the bed , he thought of what happened and remembered that
he was able to lift the daggers. He turned head to the right and saw them ,
placed on the table next to the bed. He turned his head back and looked up at
the roof of the building.
He thought of how happy his mother must've been when she saw he was able to lift
the daggers and make his ancestor proud. Alex was so lost in thought that he
didn't notice the Physician entering the room.
"Oh, your finally awake" Alex jumped up, startled but calmed down after seeing
it was the royal family's physician." Yeah, I am and excited to see
everyone" said Alex, "Oh , well that's good to hear" Said the Physician with
worry in his voice.
Alex noticed this but didn't give it much attention," The king wishes to see you "
said the Physician. "I'll head over there right now" Alex said as he
jumped out of bed , put on a new change of , grabbed the daggers and ran out.
He continued to run till he reached the castle doors. He stood there for a moment
, took in a large amount of air, then exhaled it in a long and stress relieving
sigh. He put the daggers on a placement on his back , by the request of the
king.
He placed both of his hands on the castle doors , and pushed them forward and walked
into a room that was all but familiar to him. He made his way to the throne at
the end of the room and when he reached , he knelt down and bowed his head.
"Rise my child, no need for formality when speaking to your grandfather" said
the king as he stood up and opened his arms. Alex raised his head faking a
smile and ran into the king's arms hugging him.
"A celebration and a congratulations are in order, isn't that right" said the
king. Alex looked at him and replied "Yes, you're right grandpa. Wait a second(
looks at the king) "How…do you know it's Me?"
"Because I visited you everyday and witnessed your…metamorphosis" replied the king "Though
your mother may not" he continued. Alex, confused asked "Why would she
not? She visited me along with you right?"
"I'm afraid your mother has been missing since the day of the ceremony" replied the
king. Alex's eyes grew wider and started to glow, they became slotted like
those of a lizard , his teeth became jagged and sharp.
He grew claws akin to those of a dragon. His body released hot steaming red smoke from
his arms, legs and chest. He released an ear shattering roar that shook the
castle and knocked everyone, including the king of their feet.
The king lifted his hand towards Alex, clenched his hand into a fist and held him
in place. Alex struggled and struggled and slowly started to break free. "Make
a path to the training grounds outside the kingdom" ordered the king.
The king then ran towards the castle doors, ran out ,spun around and then flung
Alex towards the training grounds outside the castle. "My lord ( in shock) ,
what was that for?" one the guards asked.
"Oh that (points at Alex falling down outside the castle) well he needed to be our
of the castle " said the king. "Now why are you still here?" he asked, " You
were supposed to be outside the castle ready to buy me enough time to arrive and
detain him" he continued.
"My lord , you said and I quote 'Make a path to the castle training grounds"
replied the guard. "Oh,…I said that? Well… regardless we must rush there before
my grandson demolishes our kingdom , and I really wouldn't like that" replied
the king.
They all rushed towards the training grounds outside the kingdom. They arrived there 20 minutes later to find
that Alex had returned to normal and his body was invaded in ice and was
arguing with his sister who'd been training there.
"You little prick, get me out of here!" Alex shouted , angrily. "Say please you
asshole !" Elizabeth responded. "Fine
bitch" Alex mumbled as Elizabeth released him from his cold prison. The
king then hugged both Elizabeth and Alex.
They had started chatting and all was well. "My lord, there's someone standing over
there" said one of the guards pointing at a black clothes figure carrying a sack
dripping with blood. The top half of his face was covered with a white mask ,
revealing his wide grin.
"Well hello everyone, pleasure to meet you all here today", the masked stranger
spoke while still maintaining his inhumanly wide grin. "It's an honor meeting
another wielder and the king as well" he continued, then looked up "Oh
what a wonderful gift" . He then stared at them.
"Who are you?" asked the king, " Just a lonely wanderer here to bring the young
prince a gift" the masked stranger answered as he threw the bloody sack at them
, revealing the head of a person that was dear to them. It was the head of the
king's youngest daughter , the mother of Alex and Elizabeth.
