POV: Vile
I stepped out into the all too familiar field I first awoke in. In front of me was the cage that old bitch was in and as the same before she stares at me with hatred in her eyes.
“I’ll be right back my dear friend.” I open a new rift and step out into the capital. I walk through the crowded streets until I reach a two story building, I walk inside and immediately I am met with the strong smell of heat and smoke.
TING, TING, TING…
The constant sound of banging on metal rings in my ears, people run around doing all kinds of tasks as I continue to walk towards the back. I come to a door and walk inside without knocking.
“Who the hell barged in hear without knocking! Didn’t I tell you sons of bitches not to disturb me! You better….gasp…master this lowly servant did not know.” The man gets down on one knee.
“I don’t have much time so take me to my things.”
“Yes master.”
The man leads me towards a back room, the man was maybe five six in a half. He had strong looking arms and many scars and burn marks on his hand, he had ginger colored hair and beard the blocked most of his face.
“Here you are master…I have not completely finished the order but…”
“It is fine.” I said cutting him off. I put everything in my ring and turned to leave, but before completely leaving the room. I stood in the door way and looked back at the man.
“After I leave send your people home, after they leave start a fire then slit your throat.”
“Yes master.” The man said happily as if I told him he doesn’t have to work for the rest of his life. I walk back out into the crowded streets. I come into a dark alley and wait, after a while a few of my little pets show up.
“Tonight I want you to kill the noble…understand. Oh and his family and any papers you may find destroy them.”
The rat in the middle squeaks and scurries away leading the rest away. Now that I got this out the just a few more matters to attend then I am off, opening yet again another rift I step out back at the school. If my assumption is right then things should be reaching its climax. I walk into the girl’s dorm which isn’t a problem since its known I’m in charge of guarding the princess, everyone here should know by now so there wasn’t any who thought to stop me. Coming to the princess room door I could hear two voices on the other side.

“I am sorry princess…but…but. Please understand.”
“What…what are you doing?”
“Please don’t fight back Yana….this is already difficult.”
“Beth…you’re the assassin!?”
“Sometimes you can be so stupid Yana even for how smart you are…”
“Why Beth I thought we were friends?”
*Sob* *Sob* “You know how daddy can be, It’s for the family *sob* everything is for the family daddy says, I can just make new friends daddy says. *Sob* All for the family! All for the family! It’s all for the FUCKING FAMILY!”
“….Beth.”
“We are friends Yana right? Could a friend kill a friend out of lo? Humps humph…please forgive me Yana. I’m so sorry!”
I kicked the door open and walked inside. Standing in front of me is two girls with tears running down their faces. Beth and Yana jump in surprise at the door being kicked down. Beth had a sword raised in the air above the princess’s head
“Huh?”
“Vil...Vile?”
“Yes it is I, sorry to disturb you two little chat but I can’t let you kill the princess.”
“Tch…If it isn’t the little guard dog!”
“Guard dog?” I said with a confused look on my face. Have people been going around calling me a dog since I been here?
“Yes YOU the princess little guard dog that’s by her side like a loyal little bitch.” Beth sneered.
I looked at her, and the room was quite. “Ruff?”
“Huh?” both girls said in surprise.
“You said I was a dog, I barked like a dog, so does that mean I bite like one too?” I smiled.
“What are you…ahhh!?
I had crossed the room a bit into her arm; she screamed and tried to pull away.
“Ow…ow...ow let go! Let go!”
Biting down harder I pulled my head back and let go of her arm. I could feel blood drip from my mouth and as I turned to face the princess it cause some to splatter onto her face, but only a little. Both girls started to scream. Beth screams were louder if I must say.
“You’re savage! You’re a beast a monster!”
“No I am a dog remember” I smiled and walked forward clasping my hands behind my back.
“Do you know what is about to happen Beth?”

“What?”
“I am going to kill you and complete my task; I don’t really care if you kill the princess or not because soon I am going to kill her, but not now oh no not now…I want here alive until that day…I want to see this little bitch cry and destroy her life. See Beth…I don’t like when people try to use me and our dear princess has a talent for using people, for example Clarsus.”
“Clarsus?”
The princess looked at me with hate. “Shut up Vile!” I strode towards her. *SMACK*
“Sister Yana I advise you to keep your fucking mouth shut or you will meet an early end to day! Now where was I…oh yes Beth that’s right we was talking about your brother. You see the princess likes to use that charm everyone seems to like as you well know, and she used that to make your dear poor brother fall in love with her. I can assume that the princess would talk highly almost shyly about him when you two are alone…am I right?”
“How would you know that?’
“From the words out here mouth of course…well from the words of her diary but all the same.”
“I don’t …believe you!”
“I don’t care if you do or not girl! I just thought you would want to know the truth before you die. She and the royal family use your brother to increases there influence in the noble faction, and as long as you brother is in love and the princess makes you believe she is also in love. Then what more would a man do that is fallen in love.”
“Yan…Yana?”
The girls look at each other while I stand there and play with the skin I took off. Skin is fun to play with to pass the time. The princess starts to chuckle which grew into hysterical laughter, she covered her hands over her eyes and drew her had back. Taking a deep breath she brings her head back down letting out a sigh.
“If I would have known taking you back with me would bring all this trouble I would have just left you.”
Beth body starts to tremble and shake, her grip on her sword tightens. Her face changes from angry to sad then to disgust and finally disbelieve.
“I thought we were friends Yana…I thought…”
“You thought wrong! You were never my friend or anything to me!”
“Liar…you’re lying to me…all these years, all the time we played together and hung out!”
“Mean nothing!”
“Then I have no regrets Yana!”
Beth moved towards Yana raising her sword, not noticing that I got behind here doing there exchange. I reached out and put my arms under both of her arms bringing my hands behind her head, she struggled to get out of my hold.
“Let me go! Let me go so I can kill the bitch!”
I moved my right hand and cupped her chin while taking my left and wrapping it around her head, we were both facing towards the princess.
“What would you like for me to do princess?” I said mockingly with a smile. The princess and beth looked at each other and after a long pause.
“Kill her…”
*SNAP*
Beth head jerks to the side and I let her body fall to the floor. *THUMP* her lifeless eyes stares at the princess.
*SOB* *SOB*
“Hehe are you crying princess? Could it be that you actually thought of her as a friend? YOU who manipulated her trust through lies feel remorse after giving the word to kill her…oh haha this is to good!”
“Shut up…” she whispered.
“Huh...come again? Speak up princess I can’t hear you!’’
“SHUT UP!!! SHUT UP!!! SHUTUP!!!
I walked away from the body of Beth and headed towards the door.
“My job is down princess Yana; give your old man my regards.”
All I could hear from her is crying. “Goodbye princess. We will meet again.” I said walking away from the room listening to the crying of the princess as it fades away from my ears.
Now let’s go on an adventure!

The Vitaean Chronicles - Volume I: The Sanguine Prince
NOTE: Chapters 02 - 19 are currently slated for review and rewrite following the Conclusion of Act I. Please bear this in mind! When tragedy strikes Arcturus Valoura, he is ripped from his carefree existence and thrown into a world of politics and peril, where today's friend is tomorrow's foe. Bereft of the knowledge and skills needed to survive in his new reality, he will need to find his place within a realm that mixes magic and science in impossible ways. He will need to learn the secrets of the mysterious System that allows him to guide his potential for growth even as he struggles to unlock the powers needed to keep himself alive. In the darkest, and most desolate places of an ancient land he will have to find the answers to forbidden questions, and terrible secrets long purged from the histories of mankind. And in so doing, shake the very foundations of reality itself. Release Schedule: Tuesdays (I may post on off-days if I get a lot done). Advanced Chapters available on Patreon starting May 4th 2021. Discord Community: https://discord.gg/3tHKHAx7Ye The Vitaean Chronicles are a debut LitRPG High Fantasy series written with the intent of filling a niche I've yet to see filled anywhere else. This is my first novel of this kind, so please be patient with me. Throughout this story, I will endeavour to create an evolving and expansive narrative anchored around believable characters, compelling plotlines, and a consistent and sensible magic system. The purpose of this work is to create what I believe to be a relatively unique piece of fiction, drawing inspiration from many great stories that have come before from the likes of Tolkien, Jordan, Hertbert, Goodkind, Pratchett, Martin, and several others. My goal is not to create a masterpiece, but simply to create a story that someone can read and re-read with the same joy, same frustration, and same investment each time. This story will contain violence, politics, Shakespearian drama, tongue-in-cheek references, adult content, and well-crafted relationships of both platonic and romantic natures. I will not promise you will like every choice I make. I can only guarantee that I will do my best to create a story I, and you, can be proud of. As I progress, I will have room to incorporate fan-made characters for those interested in making their mark within the tapestry of this tale (with the customary disclaimer that they do so while waiving any rights to future profit, lol). Thank you to Royal Road for giving me the platform to do that, and thank you dear readers past, present, and future for choosing to come on this journey with me. Finally, just to cover myself: This work is Copyrighted to the Author herein known as 'Hannibal Forge', and recreation, distribution, or re-release of any material herein in a commercial or public capacity absent permission from the Author can and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the Law.

I've been falling in what seems to be an almost bottomless void, for I don't know how long. The only thing that makes me think this fall even has an end is a faint light very far from me.
