Must Read: A Broken Destiny: The Sword Of Vengeance

Why can’t I just be left alone? Why do these people think they own me? They took my family, my life and my peace. Now, they are hurting my friends with this old man asking how his fvcking brother was killed. I should be asking why my innocent wife and daughter were killed in the most gruesome way. Claudia was right to be afraid of this man, he knows his magic well.

“Start talking, how did he die?” I kept my mouth sealed as I tried to stop the pains springing up from every part of my body. It was like my body was on fire and the fire was moving from part of my body to another. I didn’t know where I was anymore as the pains were starting to make me weak. A hard palm to my face brought me back to reality,

“Speak or I will do much worse to you.” he looked towards Vanessa who had her head bowed for reasons I do not know.

“Your brother left in a beautiful way, he was killed by his own flames.” I gave him an answer which seemed to only confuse him.

“What do you mean he was killed by his own flames?” I ignored him as the fire moved to my head. He hit me again on the face and this time I got angry. I am not his prisoner; neither have I done anything wrong, why then is he hitting me? His brother attacked me and due to his own failings, he got himself killed. How is that my fault?

“Ask your brother when you get to the underworld.” This made the old man really angry, he turned his palms which and then made a fist out of them before raising them up. A force from nowhere dragged me up, and then suspended me in the air. I was just been tossed around like a toy despite the fact I am told I carry within me an enormous amount of magic. Look at what an old man who should be on the path to the underworld with just a single fist to his head, just because he has the gift. I was a fool to have refused to believe in the existence of magic.

“Tell me now or I will cause the fire to merge with your gift which will surely make your blood boil. You will die due to the high temperature.”
I didn’t ask him to tell me how he plans to kill me; it seems he is more of a talker.

“How are you doing this? Attacks from magic shouldn’t be working on someone with powers like myself.”

“There is more than one route to a river and so it is for someone like you. You are an anomaly but it doesn’t make you immune to the elements of nature. Now, answer my question, you don’t have much time left in this world.” I am not immune to the elements of nature which means that he is not also immune which explains why he took care of Claudia first. He is not attacking with his own magic; he is just manipulating nature to fight me which explains his use of fire and air. If I can do the same too I can get us out of her but how? It seems you are a very hard man, well, I know how to break your likes. He turned his attention from me and looked towards Claudia. He snapped his finger and threw both his hands up; I heard screaming not just from her but from Vanessa too. He was doing the same thing he was doing to them to me but they were bleeding from their eyes, nose, ears, and mouth, he was killing them.

“Speak or you might have to tell them how sorry you are in the underworld.” He smiled after saying that. I have to do something really quick before he kills them. Two persons who I had deep feeling died by the hands of gruesome people such as this old man, I won’t let two innocent women die because of me, I breathed deep and spoke within me to my gift. I didn’t know what I was doing but I did something anyway as I was getting desperate. I spoke to the gift or whatever to help me control the elements just as the old was doing. It felt really funny to me but the situation I was in wasn’t. I got no reply at first but I later did in the form of lightening. Lightening fell from the skies and struck the man but he easily thwarted it aside. But it was enough to distract him and release me and my friends from his hold. He tried to re-establish what he started earlier but I would have none of it, I pushed my palms out which caused a force to emerge from it and threw the old man off his feet.

His men came after me but not before stepping on Vanessa as they ran. Their action made me mad with rage as I heard clearly, bones breaking in pieces as result of the impact. Why do the brute descend on the defenseless and the innocent? The bodies of my wife and daughter came rushing into my head and I let it stay this time. I screamed out of the rage that was making my body shake and my teeth gnash. An enormous amount of lightening came out of my hands and ran through the air, smoking the brutes till dead. I ran towards Vanessa and checked if she was still alive, she was. I thanked the spirits and turned my attention towards the old man who was still struggling to his feet. Claudia held her head and neck which meant she was fine. The man saw me coming and started whispering some words; I started screaming again and fell to my knees in pains and agony.

“You are a natural, I can’t wait any longer. I will have your gift here and now.”
I heard Claudia scream no and started running towards me but the man just raised her up just by the movement of his head and tossed her somewhere into the woods.

Every part of my body was burning; I felt my soul pulling out of me. I tried my best to resist him but I couldn’t, the man was just too strong and I was helpless before him. He looked up suddenly and then conjured another form of lightening from his left arm and hurled the dark thing towards something but the thing returned to him with the same venom it left and struck him really hard. He fell and I was released from his hold, I turned back as I struggled to my feet to find a horrible looking Vanessa who collapsed after battling to take another step. I ran towards her and carried her; I kept her on a horse and mounted another, dragging the other with me. I went in the direction of where Claudia was tossed praying to the spirits that her life should be spared. I found her on close to a tree with blood flowing freely from her hair. I came down and put her still body on my horse before mounting it again and directing the other horse too. I was struggling to move as fast as I wanted so I left the woods against my earlier resolve and went back into the path. I released the other horse as we picked up pace heading into the only place I could be safe – the forgotten lands.
