Sunlight?

Warm rays bathe down as I lay on a patch of grass

Am I dead?

No, something about here feels familiar

I notice a massive tree in the center of the yard,

The courtyard?

“Jissepi!” someone calls

Alerted I try to turn only to realize,

I can’t control my body.

“Jissepi!” a man in armor approaches

“Stop lazing about in the courtyard and get back to work your water cleaning-magic is very useful to us.”

“So..Sorry sir,” I say??

“I was cleaning the courtyard walls and I fell asleep”

“Well don’t let it happen again.

If you want to become a royal knight as you say you’re going to have work much harder Water Boy,” the knight says mockingly

“I will work as hard as must sir!” I say clenching my fists

I pick up a bucket and start to walk off, my vision once again going blank

…..

Ughhh

The stench

I try to open my mud filled eyes to see

My ribs feel broken

I hear people laughing

Thwogg!

Aghh,

The toe of an iron boot kicks into my stomach

“How do you like that, Mr. ‘Magic Knight’,” A voice bellows mockingly followed by another kick.

“You must think that you’re above us, you’re important, because you can use magic!” He says with another kick.

“Hear this,” the person continues,

“You will never own anything of value in your worthless existence, you will always and forever be the water boy!”

I continue getting stomped on as everything goes black once more.

…

“Jissepi, you are a knight, have you no honor?” A knight scolds

I lay naked in a room surrounded by liquor and women

“Come have some,” I say,

“Who cares about this kingdom anyways it’ll eventually so to shit.”

“How dare you speak against your kingdom like that!” The knight yells

“Ahh what does it matter,” I scoff drunkenly

“When everyone here ends up dead I’ll build my empire on its ashes,

I’ll own everything…...’”

The knight begins to speak but the room begins shaking

“I think were under attack!” the knight shouts

“I’ll see you in hell!” I shout back as the everything fades away

**

“Would you two stop!” Shouts Eleven’s voice

Jissepi shoves me off his body as Eleven conjures blue flames at the again approaching stone statues

“Incinerate them.” Jissepi orders,

“Then I can claim this ruin as my own!”

Eleven looks down towards me, “look thirteen, no Kage there’s so much more I had to explain to you about me, about everything, but remember what I said about the right opportunity,

It’s too late for that now.”

“What are you talking about Eleven!?” Jissepi Barks,

“Incinerate the statues for me right now!”

Eleven’s eyes begin to glow while his hair burns up

“I was waiting to use this when it was just me and boss alone,” he continues

“I’m sorry for taking your life Kage,

I’ll see you in hell.

Royal Flame Explosion!”

Eleven, no Omari’s body bursts into a violent purple flame

The heat immediately popping Jissepi like a balloon

A rain of blood falls as the force of the heat launces me into oblivion.
