(Cyrus's POV)
"What fucking luck I have." I said as I ran down the street, "A damned Prince and his lackeys."
I had just gotten to the city earlier this morning and managed to get to the most populated part, to avoid getting caught by anyone. Last night, I had killed those men that were attacking me just to take their clothes. I didn't mean to kill them, I simply grabbed them and my powers activated while they were stabbing me.
I made my way down the street, hearing the shouting guards chasing behind me.
"Don't fucking run or it's going to be worse!!" one of them shouted
"By Order of The King, someone stop him!!!" another one shouted
I looked back to see around five of them running, their swords drawn as the people on the street were parting to give them space.
I turned to see a wooden beam right in front of me, not enough time for me to duck. I hit the beam and fell on the ground, hearing someone grunt in pain as the beam fell on the ground.
"What the fuck!" I said as I clutched my face, the flickering of the flames was heard
I stood up, the flame immediately disappearing, and I saw as there were two men on the ground. My guess is that they were carrying a large wooden beam and I ran into it, seeing that there was a slight scorch mark on the spot I hit.
"Got you now!!" I turned to see one of the guards reach me, going for my arm
"I don't think so." I said as I sidestepped and punched him in the face
My fist connected with him, stumbling him back as the others reached me.
"You've done it now!" the others said
They drew swung their weapons at me and I dodged them out of pure instinct, avoiding the blades as I stepped back. I then saw as the one I punched straightened up and lunged at me, thrusting his sword at me.
I stepped to the side and spun around, elbowing him in the face and dropping him to the ground.
"Hm...." I said as the others circled me
"Do we kill him?" one of the guards asked
"No, you idiot." the other said, "Prince Aemon would like him alive, to question him. He must be connected to the murders throughout the month."
"What murders?" I asked, "I haven't killed anyone."
"Shut your filthy mouth, you mutt." the guard glared at me, "You won't get away with this."
"I reckon I will." I said as the they lunged at me
One of them swung his sword at me and I was able to narrowly avoid it, the blade grazing me in the cheek. I saw some embers fly in the air as this happened and I sidestepped to the side, trying to get a proper view of all of them.
I backed up against a table, where I felt some rope under my hand as I was using it to support me. I grabbed the rope and activated my powers, trying to set the rope ablaze.
I heard the sound of the flame and I threw the burning rope at them, which hit one of them on their faces.
"Arrghhh!!!" he shouted
"What the fuck?!" The other said
I grabbed another knot of rope, setting it ablaze, and threw it at them before taking off into a sprint.
"Fuck off!!" I shouted, "You stupid shits!!"
I had no idea why I was running, but here I was.
Running.
****************
I reached a strange building, outside the city and near another massive building in the distance. It looked like some sort of temple, the one in the distance.
I stopped and hunched over, panting heavily as I looked around me, seeing that I was alone for the time being.
"Dammit....." I said as I straightened up, "What is going on with my life right now?"
I looked at the building in front of me; it looked like the entrance to some sort of ruin. I didn't see anyone near me, but I could hear the shouting of the guards in the distance.
"Hm...." I said as I looked behind me, "Maybe I should hide out here...."
I walked towards the dark entrance, quickly darting inside and saw that there was a vast space inside.
"Whoa..." I said as I looked to the side, spotting some torches on the wall in the distance, "What is this place?"
It looked like the entrance of some temple of sort, with most of the walls covered in carvings. Dead in front of me, around forty meters away, another dark entrance was visible. I could tell there was stairs that led down somewhere.
I stood there, narrowing my eyes as I felt a strange sensation in the back of my neck, "Hm...." I said as I looked around, "Something's off about this....."
Something told me that whatever was down there, it wasn't something any ordinary person could deal with. It was a feeling that was hard to explain, I don't know how else to describe it. My instincts didn't tell me to run from this place, but it told me that there was something dangerous in there. It is as if I knew that I would safe from whatever was in here.
I walked towards the nearby wall, seeing the carvings on the stone, "What did I stumble across?" I said, "Why is this place.....why does it feel....heavy? I can't explain it....there is something lurking about..."
I stared at the wall, simply staring at the carvings. I couldn't make much of it, some strange wording on some of the parts of the wall.
I stepped back, trying to make sense of what I was looking at, when I felt a presence behind me.
I heard deep breathing and a low growl, "Huh?"
I slowly turned around, seeing that there was a large figure before me, glaring at me with its vicious eyes.
I recognized it, I didn't need to think twice about what this was.
It was a dragon.
I blinked, "Oh." I said as the dragon snarled, "So.....this isn't during her time, huh? The Mother of Dragons....."
"Oh well."
