《The Beginning, The End, And Everything In Between》Chapter 9 [The Perfect Couple... of Sadists]
Advertisement
Farren was walking along the dirt path while humming a tune to herself, she had relieved most of her tension she had built up from 8 years of being a pathetic child, at least now the illusion was gone and the annoyances were all dead... though Farren did feel like she forgot something.... before Farren could finish that thought Xavier chimed in.
"Heyo, Farren, I gotta ask, where are we going?" [Xavier]
"We're going on an adventure!" [Farren]
"Oi." [Xavier]
Xavier replied with an annoyed tone, he could tell she was hiding something.
"Fine, I had a plan to go to the Academy, Creon. I am the appropriate age to sign up." [Farren]
"Yeah, but you tend to talk like you're older than that, are you perhaps... a loli?" [Xavier]
Farren made a strange choking sound, she hadn't thought about it before but her mental age was 32 now so she could be a loli, but she was technically 8... She shook her head, that really wasn't the problem here, how did this world know about Loli's?, it suddenly occurred to her that that God ruled and created this world, he probably added his own twists.
"I am not a loli, I am 8 years old and perfectly sa- *ahem* sane" [Farren]
Her voice broke on the last part, Xavier raised an eyebrow, even Farren's own voice didn't believe she was sane.
"Anyway, you want to go the Academy? Why? you seem more adept than most of the teachers there, you cast a massive darkness spell over all those corpses and made them permanent and set a spell for the crows and guts, and you didn't even look tired, in fact I didn't even know half of those spells existed." [Xavier]
An spell was extremely hard to cast, it required a massive amount of mana and extreme concentration, it manifested an illusion that was permanent until the spell creator died.
"Hehe~ that's just because I'm me and I couldn't create a ghost town without adding an effect. The reason I want to go there is because I already have a plan to make it my new artwork, in my old wor- *ahem* I had this dream about skinning people and thought it might be fun do something like that... but on a much larger scale, you want to help? I did awaken you to your dark side" [Farren]
"You make it sound so much more magical than it actually was, really I just helped you create the most horrid thing the kingdom or maybe even the world has ever se- yeah you awakened my dark side" [Xavier]
X admitted this in defeat, his inner sadist had finally came out after being repressed for so long by Farren and her offer, she did help him release all that pent up stress from being with that party...
"Ok i'll help you, there is a few things you need to know about the academies-" [Xavier]

Farren cut him off "Wait there is more than one?" she said.
"Yep and they're very different too, the one you talked about is called Creon, as you already know. It only recruits the talented, you have to prove your skills against one of the teachers which are all B ranked and above, you aren't expected to win, just prove your skills" [Xavier]
"Do you mean A ranked as in ranked by the Adventurers Guild? Also does that mean there is a higher level than A rank?" [Farren]
"Yes to both questions, you have the basic system of start from D and go to C, B, A, and though A is impressive there is still 3 more ranks above it, they are S class, SS class, and SSS class, anyone who is S class and above is either treated like a king or a monster, mainly because the strength of an S class could destroy several towns, an SS class could destroy a small kingdom or depending on what they train in, a large one. Then there are the SSS class who could take out a whole continent, even though they are one rank apart the power difference is huge, an SS class could never defeat an SSS class but I know that's not what you're curious about, I know you're curious about my class~" [Xavier]
"Not really" [Faren]
"I am an archer a double short-sword fighter, and ranked A!, I am known by the name Double Red and I am wanted by many teams!" [Xavier]
"I really could not care less" [Farren]
"I have slain over a thousand monsters by my arrows and millions by my swords!" [Xavier]
"Ok, I have actually gotten to dangerous levels of not caring" [Farren]
"I have saved many fair maidens and-" [Xavier]
Farren stabbed him with her scythe she morphed into a dagger, right in the stomach. He only looked at her with confused eyes.
"I never said my dangerous levels of not caring were dangerous to me now would you SHUT UP!" [Farren]
He nods vigorously, tears are slightly forming in his eyes. Farren used her recently learned healing magic from her Light Affinity.
"Ok, now continue about the academies" [Farren]
Despite being just stabbed, Xavier's mentality recovers fast, he's an idiot but he wasn't an A rank for nothing.
"Yes, okay I already addressed the Creon Academy but then there is the Arien Academy, while the Creon Academy is for strong stuck up brats, the Arien Academy is for rich stuck up brats, obviously there are a few good apples that aren't as pretentious and arrogant in these schools but who cares about them right?" [Xavier]
This time Farren nodded her head vigorously, she always hated righteous people and goody-two-shoes.
"Exactly!, I feel maybe I should slaughter the Arien Academy first, higher chance of some nobles with a conscience to kill and torture, it seems like it would be more deserving... but I need money and probably some social backing to get in, good thing I have my Mind Magic!" [Farren]

Now it's the elf's turn to make a strange choking noise.
"Wait sorry did you say Mind Magic? As in the rarest and most dangerous magic form out there?, I'm surprised you haven't already made the whole country go crazy and kill each other" [Xavier]
"It's rare and dangerous? I am pretty well trained in it so I think I'm fine, I had eight years to practise and my affinity is already S rank hehe~ also I don't always kill and create mass panic and destruction needlessly, take you as an example!" [Farren]
"You stabbed me literally just a minute ago, I don't see your point" [Xavier]
"I mean when I killed all your friends and tortured Blondie, but I decided against killing you when you also found Blondie's condition fucking hilarious so I decided to keep you around, especially when you turned out to be a closet sadist!" [Farren]
"True, I feel like I discovered something important about myself, by the way have you decided what academy to kill first? I suggest the Creon Academy, then they'll realise they should have accepted me, I WAS BETTER THAN THAT SLUT WHO GOT THE SPOT INSTEAD AND THEY KNOW IT!" [Xavier]
Xavier shouted this into the forest and trees, probably because they are the only things that would listen to his problems.
"Whoa, I think I can guess why you were a closet sadist now, I bet daddy issues" [Farren]
".................. it was always my brother who got the attention, even though I was better at archery and swords..." [Xavier]
Xavier said this in a quiet voice, it seems he doesn't like to admit he has issues. Meanwhile, while he was rambling on about his father never being proud of him, Farren was thinking about which academy should she decimate first.
She had big plans for this country and it all started with the downfall of one or both of their main structural culture basis which was to be an adventurer and learn how to fight, obviously she didn't expect the destruction of the academies to be permanent, humans always rebuilt and repopulated. It was one of the reasons Farren loved them so much, it just meant more to kill for her. Soon she would have to some up with a counter for them rebuilding the academies.
"X, I'm going to Creon first, I have a plan to make you become a teacher and I'll be a student, I'll become the best in the school and get an audience with the king and then decapitate him in front of his family, and then burn the family alive while their nobles and citizens watch, i'll then go back and destroy Creon Academy and make all the students who thought they were prodigies look and be helpless while their school burns!" [Farren]
"Ok, you obviously have way worse issues than me, but I like your thinking! Most of those kids think they're the best when they don't even have any fighting experience, maybe when you make me a teacher I'll teach them a life lesson, how do you plan on doing that anyway?" [Xavier]
Farren smiled her most evil smile, it looked especially sinister on an 8 year old's body, even Xavier felt a shiver down his spine.
"First, I'm going to have to kill you." [Farren]
"What? NO, STAY AWAY FROM ME!" [Xavier]
The elf started running, he had almost reached the middle of the forest when he heard Farren's laughter behind him, slowly he turned around. Farren was doubled over and laughing so hard you would expected her stomach to fall out from the convulsing
"I-I was ju- HAHAHAHA I was just jokin- HAHAHAHA" [Farren]
Through Farrens gasping her words and spouts of laughter in between, Xavier got the gist of what she meant, the forest they had run to from the village was dark and had a creepy aura, Farren enjoyed it due to her just being plain crazy but Xavier was not especially liking it, his own craziness wasn't strong enough to douse down the creepiness. But most of all he still didn't quite trust Farren, she killed her family and he had seen was she had done to their bodies, or what was left of them, her uncle had his head literally shoved up his ass with his spine taken out and shoved down his throat, and her mother had been made a chandelier by her left-over bones and hanging flesh, if you could say you were friends with Farren, it probably meant she was just tricking you for her own cover or planning to kill you in an alley later.
"I was just testing you, I plan to remodel your body, I can't make you my own species-" [Farren]
"I thought you looked weird, that also explains a lot..." [Xavier]
"But I can use my Mind Magic and take out your soul, then remodel the corpse to your liking, that way you won't get recognised" [Farren]
"but wouldn't that be extremely risky? and dangerous? I don't want to be a lab rat!" [Xavier]
"Ahh, X, my pointy eared friend..." [Farren]
Farren tried to sling her arm around Xavier but was too short, so she just levitated herself. The blond elf didn't quite live up to the stereotype of all elves being beautiful, in fact he had just an average face with slightly pointed features. but Farren wasn't one to pay attention to such details...
"You my friend, are plain, and boring. So what i'm going to do is rip your soul out, make you all pretty, and put it back in, and you are going to fucking like it. Ok?" [Farren]
Xavier nodded his head vigorously, it would normally it would be quite pathetic for a man to be terrified of a child but if anyone was here right now they would be pissing their pants,

Farren had her happy face on, which meant shit was going to go down.

Saga of Fallen Kings, Book I: The Revenant Prince
The Philosopher King once conquered the known world, his power seemingly unlimited and his armies inexhaustible. Since that time his might has slowly unravelled, and his once steadfast empire has begun to crack, splinter and devour itself. In the isolated Southern Realms, where even magic has abandoned them, none of that matters. For years it has been filled with warring kingdoms, where as many kings die to the blade as to old age, and constant battles tear apart the land. When one such kingdom invades its old enemy, the King and his heir, Prince Caden, are killed. Unable to accept the loss of his family Prince Arian is broken, and when the Philosopher King stretches out his hand in aid, Arian takes it without a second thought. When Caden wakes from death, he's different. His eyes and soul have changed, and he finds a world filled with friends who no longer trust he's even human. Suddenly thrust onto the throne and indebted to the Philosopher King, Caden has no choice but to keep going - he must finish what his father started, and try to survive the machinations of the figure who now owns his fealty. Meanwhile something beyond death stirs for him, desiring nothing more than to drag him back into its embrace. Author's Note: This story used to be known as "A King of his Own", but after some consideration I have decided to rebrand it. The first reason is that I was growing increasingly dissatisfied with the title. The second is that I have come increasingly to view this story as a 'saga' containing multiple 'books' rather than one long, continuous publication, and as I did so I realized that as I was quickly getting to a point in the story where I wanted the first 'book' to end. This doesn't mean I'm going back on the things I said below - they're just going to continue in the next book of the Saga of Fallen Kings. :) Also, be aware that I do plan to edit this at some point. Though I take care to squash out any obvious errors when I proof-read, and do simple edits in that process, at some point I'm almost certainly going to do large edits that might significantly change parts of the story. Old author's notes: This started as a completely random writing session. There was no purpose or direction, but as I kept typing an entire world began to form in my mind that I knew I had to write about. My plan is to turn this story into a veritable medieval fantasy epic that spans an entire world, follows multiple character and storylines, and takes place over many years. The story has quite a grounded, almost 'realistic' start, but many more fantastical elements will be introduced, expanded upon and become central to the narrative. I have ideas for this story that make me genuinely excited and I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoy writing it, and join me on what will hopefully become a truly massive fantasy epic. If you do enjoy this story please consider following, rating and leaving a review. I'm also happy to answer any questions or comments you have.

Dazed, she tried to look around but found that her head was held firmly to the pillow under her. Cloth covered her mouth and nose, a sickly sweet smell enveloping her senses. Her mind began getting hazy. Chloroform, her mind whispered almost silently. Her vision began tunneling, and she weakly looked up into a pair of icy blue eyes. She stared into those eyes as she was pulled deeply and forcefully into oblivion. Isabelle is a smart girl and not really the girly type unless going out. You would usually see her wearing sweats around the house or outside in her backyard on the beach since she lives on the ocean. So when she suddenly gets kidnapped one day, she wonders what she had ever done to deserve this. She hadn't done anything wrong, at least she didn't think she did. But she learns that there is something about her that is special and that she is not only human. Meet Jared Gray, the person that kidnapped Isabelle because of her being his mate. He's been waiting since he was 16 to find his mate and now he's 22, about to give up on ever finding his mate. But when he smells her in a mall one day, he follows her home and decides to take what's his. Isabelle's life will never be the same again. Will she be able to escape or will she fall in love with her hot and charming kidnapper that she wants nothing to do with? Or will she stay with him and eventually fall in love? --- THIS IS A DRAFT. And I was 15 when I first started writing it so there are many mistakes. Please don't judge too harshly. WARNING: CONTAINS SOME SCENES OF SEXUAL AND MATURE CONTENTALSO, MANY MISTAKES! SOME THINGS I'VE WRITTEN I FORGOT TO PUT BACK IN THE STORY SO THIS NEEDS TO BE HEAVILY EDITED. Sequel is called Unwinding Fate
