Three weeks had passed since the judgment.
Three weeks since Alaric saw the sun.
all he saw was utter darkness with filled with unbearable stench all around him
and more importantly he was bleeding
with every part of his body aching due to the torture he has been through
all that pain is extremely painful for an 13 year old
On the dusk of the 21st day , sounds of iron clicking the floor could be heard throughout the prison corridor.
Two knights came into his cell, and one of the knights whispered,
"It's time."
Neither of them said anything more than that.
They both came closer to him. Instead of taking the cuffs from his wrists, they shattered the chains that were attached to the wall
Both knights dragged him away while hos iron chains were pulling him down.
As they dragged him through the narrow prison passage, the sound of chains could be heard from the floor. After some time, traversing through the prison hall, they reached the outer side of the prison, and both of the knights handed Alaric over to a group of soldiers who came to take him to the passageway to the Vrylands.
The group of knights took Alaric and started to drag him along with them.
all the knights hopped on their horses while grabbing the chains attached to him
the knights started to move outside the palace while dragging alaric on the ground
all the knights took the boy far away from the palace, outskirts faaway
after 3 hours of travelling in the harsh mountains they came to stop at the middle of the the three mountains with its peak just in above them, infront of them there was veylord and his personal knoghts
Soon after that, the knights handed over the boy in their possession to the personal knights of the Veylord, after handing over the boy to the group of soldiers went back to watch the spectacle before their eyes.
After a few minutes, the sky seemed to change. All the stars started to gather at one point, the peak of the middle mountain. This continued slowly for the next half an hour, but then a shooting star shone across the sky, and all the stars began to move toward the point where several stars had gathered.
Down below the peak of the middle mountain, there were several cores, a huge number of them.
Just then, the shooting star struck the place where the stars had gathered. At that moment, all the cores in front of them burned but they didn't just burn, they turned into ashes. The ashes that came from the cores lingered in the air, forming a spiral.
After a few minutes, the spiral structure formed by ashes slowly created a gate to the weathered lands. It seemed like ash was circling in the air in an eclipsed manner, and in front of them, there was an entrance toward the Vrylands also known as the 'Lands of Hell'.
Alaric was already losing consciousness before the ritual even started. He just stared at all the process with an amused face.
Then Veylord came to grab his hand and started to recite the words:
"Alaric Veyne Solmere, heir to the House of Solmere.
By decree of the Council of Blood and Star, you are to be **exiled to the Vrylands** for the crime of defiling the honor of House Aurelian and Solmere ,breaking the sacred bonds of nobility.
You are stripped of your name, your title, and your lineage.
May the cursed lands claim your flesh, and the void your soul."
He then proceeded to draw his knife, cut the mark of House Solmere, tore the flesh on Alaric's forearm, and then threw the boy into the Gates of Ash.
