Chapter Text
“Come on now Angela, if we sell your daughter, we'll make a fortune! She looks so much like a boy, they'll train her as an assassin!”
“She's only 6 years old! Plus this is Einar’s child!”
“Listen here sister, to remind you of our situation. Einar died when he fought the war against the country we're in now. The war is still going on, she'll only slow us down!”
“No! I won't leave the only thing I have left of Einar behind!” That same damn dream again.
“Wake up Reaper! Wake up! Get your high and mighty ass out of the tree!” Bang! Blood splattered everywhere.
“If you haven't realized already, I hate being woken up by some amateur assassins like you. It's hard enough to not kill you guys on the spot. Next time I get woken up, and out of my timing. It won't be your arm that's shot,” I aimed the gun straight as one of the lackeys heads to get my point across. “Got it?” How I hate using unreliable guns, but was the fastest way. Returning the gun back to the lackey below as they replied.
“Yes sir!” How I love the blood that splatters on my face from every kill, and the terror they have in their eyes before death! I'm so used to seeing blood since I was six, I don't even flinch at the sight of it. Instead, I smirk and cackle evilly, why else would the world call me ‘The Black Reaper’? This job given to me by the boss will be no different, it's all the same category - kill the nobility, and the royalty. I've successfully killed all the people the assignment requires, Prince Nova, the first prince of Verlack will be another.
“Activate your aerial magic!” Wings of different races sparkled and glowed to life. “The minute I give the command, we'll all fly to the castle’s barricade. All of you will either patrol the area for guards, or take out anyone who is not our own, while I go finish our job. Move out!” Out of the forest’s canopies and into the skies we flew, and towards the Star castle that laid ahead. The plan was going smoothly, we had successfully entered the castle grounds, and they were welcomed by unsuspecting knocks to the head, goodnight guards! I didn't take long to locate the targets chambers, the job needed to be finished fast, yet quiet enough that no one will suspect a thing. An arrow to the heart should do the trick. Boom! Great! The stupidest lackey decided to kill the prince himself, and blew our cover in the process! Quickly packing my things, I ordered the others to retreat, but I wasn't quick enough. My men were all down, including the one who finished the job. Blood was shed not by my hands. How could they be so fast? And without me sensing anything? I had to leave for my own safety, and contact boss about our situation. Beating my wings the fastest they could, I fled to the forest, and sent a transmission to boss. The response was robotic cries and bangs, something was not right, then an unknown man’s voice spoke.
“Your men, and the boss are finished. You're next, Reaper!” Never have I felt chills until now, what was this new feeling? Is this was those weaklings call fear? Am I a weakling now, and become someone else's prey? Fleeing once again, I took off into the skies. Hoping this was just a continuation of that bad dream, I was so busy worrying I didn't realize, that behind me was a well armour white and gold knight with wings that matched the armour. Legendary sword ‘Hope’ at hand, the blow was in slow motion compared to my speeds, but I couldn't move. This situation was like déjà vu, when my uncle, Sky killed my mother after her refusal to sell me. Surprisingly the slicing blow hit my torso, and the knight cursed at his aim, however that blow had concluded my memory. Leading me to faint from the emotional attack, and sent me plummeting to the ground. Loving mother Angela, and black knight father Einar, I'll be joining you very soon after these long thirteen years of assassination. The darkness of my heart began to take the edges of my eyesight, everything blurred, as a white and gold figure filled the space between the black borders. At last, an angel has come to take me home. Away from this chain bound earth, and show me the way to happiness.
