Chapter List
- 5
- 6
This chapter kind of bridges chapter 5 and 7. I was kind of at a loss where to go with this chapter and wanted to move away from Albel's chapters being so...shippy. Not that there's anything wrong with that...
She is standing away from the rest of the group and fussing with a strange device. The others are pausing to eat or use potions for rejuvenation. She watches us in amazement and I finally decide to approach her with a few questions.
"Simply astonishing," She's murmuring. "They shouldn't be able to restore their health with items from the Eternal Sphere!"
I ignore her babbling and stand boldly before her. "Blair is it?"
"Yes," She replies, meeting my gaze frankly.
"Do you know who I am?" I demand.
"You're Albel Nox, otherwise known as Albel the Wicked, largely due to your ruthlessness toward your enemies and cruel demeanor. You're captain of Black Brigade, though you were briefly stripped of you rank when falsely accused of treason by Duke Vox."
I'm more than just a little bit stunned. She looks amused by my obvious shock. "Well, it's a rare treat to have surprised the great and worldly Albel Nox."
Affronted by her faintly mocking tone, I glower at her. "If it didn't appear that we needed your help, I'd have slit your throat for such a remark," I drawl casually.
"I know," Blair smiles faintly.
"Hmph! What else do you know about me?"
"Nearly everything. Of course there are complex algorithms and scripts that are difficult for even the best programmer to read, usually the ones representing a character's most personal thought, feelings, and some memories."
I sigh, more out of annoyance than any real anger. "What in hell are you prattling on about?"
"Forgive me. That is to say, I can't know what you're thinking from minute to minute. Knowing your personality, I could probably guess, but anyone who knows you well enough could do that."
I neglect to point out that very, very few people know me well enough to predict my thoughts or emotions. "Fair enough. So tell me something you know about my life."
Blair frowns. "Why are you doing this, Albel? Surely you can't deny we are your creators. I think seeing Gemity would have driven that fact home."
"Humour me," I reply coolly.
"Very well. What do you wish me to tell you? Perhaps the name of the first person you killed? It was Arturus, a soldier in the Black Brigade. You were appointed captain of the unit, despite not being a current member. Many soldiers were very angry and claimed you had gained the position due to the fact that Glou Nox had been a very dear friend of your king. They believed Shelby should have been promoted. When you first met with your unit as commander, Arturus challenged your worthiness and demanded a duel. You beat him soundly and when he was down, begging for his life, you beheaded him."
I nod slowly, remembering the situation well. The worm had been sobbing like a child at my feet. I'd killed him without mercy or regret. Afterwards, I'd placed his head on a large table used for maps and tactical schemes.
'Does anyone else wish to challenge my authority here?' I'd snarled and had been met by silence, even from Shelby.
"You've made your point."
"You know, I'm surprised to see you with this group," Blair smiles faintly. "I think...it could be good for you."
"Hmph," I sniff, "I was growing bored."
"Look alive you two!" The blonde maggot shouts. "We're going!"
I snort and shout back at him as I turn away from Blair. "It's about time you worms stopped stuffing your faces!"
She gently touches my elbow and I look at her, a bit startled. "One more thing. Stop punishing yourself, Albel. He did what any good father would do."
"Tch," I sneer, "I have no idea what you're talking about."
XxXxX
For a second there, I'd accomplished something great.
It had felt good to watch the destruction of those Executioners, knowing I'd had a hand in it. All those stars swirling above my head, saved by my merciless sword.
Of course it hadn't lasted. Nothing resembling happiness or satisfaction ever did. If nothing else, things were worse. How stupid were we to think it would be that simple?
Maria's talking on her communication device and I'm thinking about the future. A part of me had not expected to ever return to my homeland. Perhaps I'd imagined that I would travel with these idiots forever, or at least a certain blue-haired idiot.
I can hear Maria's voice in the distance, though I can't make out what she's saying. She sounds relieved, so I'm guessing that means we'll be off this rock soon. We're going back to my world and I know deep in my heart that there is something I must do once I get back home. The king no doubt wonders what has happened to me, but more importantly, it's time to claim my birthright.
TBC...
