Reign Of The Blood King: Rain 1 "It starts with a scream"

Reign Of The Blood King: Rain 1 "It starts with a scream"
_________________________________________________________________________________

Rain heard his own scream, it mixed with the cries of terror that filled his village. He dropped the basket of fruit he was carrying.

What.....

the only thing Rain could think of the scene in front of him. He couldn't quite understand why Knights would be attacking his peaceful little village. Rain didn't know much about Knights, the only knight he knew was the retired Eris. Coincidently her husband was a very powerful Mage, but they had moved away years ago. From what he had learned, by the emblem on their chest, there are two platoons of Knights from different kingdoms. Though he is in too much of a panic to notice, the only reason he really noticed was the fact that they attacked each other.

After standing there in shock for a while it sank in. He ran, faster then he had ever run before. But instead of away from the village and knights, he ran into it. He passed the baker that would give him bread but he didn't stop, for the baker had a sword in his chest, and had left the living long ago; Rain passed the Doctor that healed him once and the farmer that lived next door to him both of which were dead.

Bell! Bell! Bell! Bell! Bell! Bell!

Rain chanted the only name that mattered to him. His twin sister Bluebell, they were inseparable from birth. In fact, this was only the fourth time Bell didn't go with Rain to the forest. In what seemed to be hours, as he avoided the Knights. Rain finally made it back to his house. Nothing could be heard inside. Without the time to worry about it, he slammed the door open. He almost fainted right there. His father had been killed, in way of execution. A few meters in front of his father's corpse was His mother's. Rain didn't want to think how she died. After he finished throwing up. He dragged his feet a little to the small meat locker, the small locker was somewhat hidden. Rain slowly pulled the handle that opens the door. A click could be heard along with a squeaking. The door slid open, there curled up in a ball crying was Bluebell.

"Bell... It's me, its Rain."
Though still scared Bell slowly raised her head. Rain could see the tears in her eyes, how violently she shook.

"R-R-Rain... Rain!"

Bell leaped from the floor into Rain, she hugged him so hard he couldn't breathe. Rain hugged her back, they stayed there for only a few minutes when the screams from outside made Rain return to the nightmare.

"Put this on... Till we get outside."

Bell still didn't really know just how bad it was, but she listened to Rain and put the blindfold on. He walked Bell out of the house holding the urge to vomit again. However, he himself was shaking violently from everything he witnessed this day. Getting outside Rain removed Bell's blindfold. Now that he found Bell he just had to find their two friends, Feya, and Anreum, then get out of village and to safety. This would be hard, as they were only 11 this year.

Reign Of The Blood King: Prologue

_________________________________________________________________________________

The King looked down on the nobles that come bearing gifts for him, he was not happy. His face was clearing show his displeasure. Knowing this, just about all the nobles in the room were terrified.

The room they were in was the Throne room, It was a very large room with tile floors and white limestone walls. the kingdom's emblem was chiseled in the walls. pillars shaped like knights held the roof up high, each of them also had the emblem on their chest. These stone knights were golems set to defend the king if need be.

Bang! The sound of large doors sounded throughout the room. At the entrance stood a woman. The clothes she wore completely covered up her face and body.

"You don't need that mask you know, I know it's you."

"I had hoped we could have... Nonetheless, Blood King Rain! I shall end your tyranny here!"

The woman said while taking off the cloth that covered her face

Rain had a mixed expression some was anger but most of it was sadness. He dropped his head down till you wouldn't be able to see his face. Then he rapidly raised his head, laughing he stared at the ceiling.

"I have been waiting for this day for a long time... Golems"

The instant Rain said that the stone Knights that were in the room began to move. They had taken defensive positions around Rain. At the time the golem knights had all gotten into place two more people came through the door.

A half-elf and a beast-kin. Rain had known all of them for as long as he could remember. Still, that would not matter.

"In times of light, I shall be the darkness.

When faith is strong, I will bring Angst.

When talk of peace can be heard, I will raise the rage of men.

In vengeance, I shall have no mercy.

In the midst of battle, I shall strike fear in their hearts.

When I am about to take their life, I shall have no remorse.

Summon! Malum Arachne"

As Rain spoke the chant pitch black runes came seeming out of nowhere.  The Runes then began to spin in a circle. They span faster and faster till you couldn't tell that they were runes. Then another ring appeared and then another, till the rings hit the ground. All of the rings disappear, and there was a 3-meter tall woman. From her waist down was the body of a spider. Her black exoskeleton was smooth like steel yet it was stronger than diamonds. On her arms, she wore steel gauntlets that had 1.5 meter long blades. Along the sides of her abdomen were dark red pulsating symbols. Strangely these symbols look very similar to the runes.

"Eh...? Master why did... Oh. You."

"Yomi... Attack."

"With pleasure master."

Yomi jumped with an incredible force to the wall. The three companies that stood at the door readied their weapons and wand. Yomi then flung herself at the three, her blades pointed at two of them.

Their blades about to strike each other.

Why is it like this? Hasn't everything I've done been for you? Everything was so nice then... Yet I will move forward. I am here for you. the Blood King, I never liked this name but it's mine. I took this throne like the others yet...

Pandora's Box Chapter 3

sorry it took so long eheh...

_________________________________________________________________________________

"Well this was unexpected" (Dreya)

Asphodel (with her jaw still open) slowly nodded. Neal with his face in his hand couldn't take the embarrassment. The mischievous smile on Astolo's face changed to a serious look.

"Now I have, using the terms of this document made all members of Pandora's Box candidates for Queen. Now I will state the rules, candidates cannot use charm magic on his majesty or use any kind of elixir that would artificially change his emotions. Also it is not allowed to use your 〈Female〉 advantages against the king." (Astolo)

Asphodel eyes looked like they would pop out of her head also she wasn't moving, she was frozen... Like stone

"Umm... Sister?" (Amodii)

"Yes Amodii Do you have a question?" (Astolo)

"So it is not allowed to use our body but if the king himself made a move onto one of us would it be ok then?" (Amodii)

Not even Durose could hide her surprise; the shock on her face was a very rare sight. Astolo on the other hand was smiling just like before and with a big thumbs up

"Yes! Of course little sis!" (Astolo)

"Amodii... your surprising Blunt aren't you?" (Bella)

"Well I guess, I have never thought that someone should be ashamed to ask any question don't you think?" (Amodii)

Amodii Gaudium Est Caritate the younger sister of Astolo. Was a genius when it came to the arts of war, she had only started learning the sword no less than half a year ago yet she was already a Royal Guard. On other hand she was know though out the kingdom for her kind and gentle nature.

Amodii turned 16 this year her emerald green eyes shine through her golden bangs, the black highlights in her hair give her almost glowing hair a sense of humility. She has one small braid on each of her temples that connects to her hair that's flowing down her back. She wore a beautiful blue one piece dress with black stockings.

The room was quiet, Neal had a mix of fear and worry on his face while Amodii smiled like always. Dreya was thinking without moving from her military stands (which she was in from the start) Durose is mumbling something and steam can be seen from her head from thinking about what Amodii said. Bella and Asphodel were both statues, while Asphodel had frozen long ago it seems Bella had just hit her limit because of Amodii's words. Neal couldn't take this anymore but before he could say something.

"Oh and I forgot the last condition! All of you will live with the king!" (Astolo)

Neal was about to say something when the head maid had enter the Throne room.

"Your highness, dinner is ready." (Head maid)

"Ah good! Everyone will join us!" (Astolo)

Neal lost the will to fight before even getting the chance to. Neal was about to get up to go to the dining room.

"Wait... You don't expect to eat with his majesty dirty like that do you? I mean Dreya you have blood of your clothes. No this won't do go get changed then we'll eat" (Astolo)

Then Bella and Asphodel slowly but surely started moving, Dreya and Amodii simply turned and walk away. Durose walked while swaying a little.

Neal looks worryingly at Astolo, her response a mischievous smile.
