I look at the time via my phone "4:36" 𝐼 π‘šπ‘Žπ‘¦ π‘Žπ‘  𝑀𝑒𝑙𝑙 𝑔𝑒𝑑 π‘ π‘œπ‘šπ‘’ 𝑠𝑙𝑒𝑒𝑝, 𝐼 π‘šπ‘’π‘Žπ‘› 𝑖𝑑 𝑖𝑠 𝑔𝑒𝑑𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 π‘π‘Ÿπ‘’π‘‘π‘‘π‘¦ π‘™π‘Žπ‘‘π‘’.

Little specks of the sun rise over the horizon, Well the sky was still very dark it was starting to brighten up.

I slowly undress and turn off my Computer and my tv.

I then get into bed and set a timer for "1:00 PM".

My face snuggled against my pillows, I started to doze off.

Eventually, I entered a deep sleep.

"BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP"

I figured the beeping sound was my alarm clock but boy was I wrong.

As soon as I opened my eyes, a flash of lightning whizzed past my face!

"WHAT THE HELL?!"

The flash of lightning that whizzed past my face woke me up faster than any coffee or energy drink could.

Still stumbling on my feet I looked around my unfamiliar surroundings.

I was surrounded by walls.

Was I in a castle or something?

I heard people chanting fight over and over.

Was I being forced to fight?

The people were speaking a language I didn't know but somehow I understood them.

I looked to be in some fighting ring, but why was i the only one here?

Thoughts filled my head and my headache continued to grow worse.

"Fing" A flash of blue light scraped my ear.

The top of my outer ear had been split.

My ear bled profusely.

I grabbed my ear in pain and continued to look around.

"AAARRRGH" a man that looked to be my age was running directly at me he looked filled with rage.

I then noticed that the man was carrying a dagger.

"What the hell!"

Splurts of blue lightning flashed from my hand.

I haven't even shot a gun before, let alone used a weapon.

The blue splurts of lightning quickly formed into a dagger.

My hand was forced open by the pure force of the lightning.

I was forced to grab the dagger.

When I grabbed the dagger a final splurt of blue lightning wrapped itself around the edge of my dagger almost like a blue flame.

A voice rumbled through my head like lightning making my headache worse.

The voice in my head grew louder.

I grabbed my head in pain.

"AARGH, IT HURTS! IT HURTS! MAKE IT STOP"

It felt as if the lightning that wrapped my blade had pierced every single inch of my body.

The pain was unbearable.

My body jolted uncontrollably towards the man.

With a swift blue flash of thunder, the man's head rolled onto the floor.

His headless body dropped to the floor and so did i.

The man's headless neck spurted blood onto my body.

A man stood in a booth, on his head was a crown filled with jewels.

"As expected of the head knight of Aroria, I can't believe my men were able to capture him"

"I- I- j-j-j-ust k-killed s-omebody"

My teeth began to chatter.

My eyes were opened wide.

I forgot about my headache, all I could think about was the man I just killed.

The man who had the crown on his head snapped his fingers.

"Take him back to his prison cell"

Thoughts filled my head.

The guards that the man sent to retrieve me chained my hands and legs up.

I didn't retaliate.

I didn't say a word.

I just stood there lifeless thinking about what I had just done.

The guards forced me into a cell and chained me against the wall.

"The king will be here in a moment to have a chat with you." one of the guards snarled at me and walked away.

I was still thinking about what I had done.

π‘…π‘–π‘”β„Žπ‘‘?

The doors to the prison I currently reside in flung open.

What followed was the king and around 6 guards.

"Watch out knights, this man is a high-priority prisoner of war.

He could easily wipe every single one of us out with just a single swipe of his sword…

Or that's what the stories say"

"Where am I?!"

"What am I doing here?!"

I was clearly confused.

"Do you not remember?" the king laughed, his voice sounded very… 𝓻𝓸𝔂π“ͺ𝓡

"My men captured you in battle, they say you put up a good fight… I mean of course, it was a good fight. You did kill over half of my men I sent after you."

"But with you captured we will surely be able to turn the tides of the holy war"

"Well knight do you have nothing to say?" the king said with a royal-like snarl

"You did kill half of my men... Are you not going to apologize?"

I was confused but I still answered anyway.

"I'm sorry" I tried my best to look as if I was actually sorry.

"AM I A JOKE TO YOU, DO YOU THINK I WOULD ACTUALLY FALL FOR THAT, YOU.. THE HEAD KNIGHT OF ARORIA TO BE SORRY FOR KILLING HALF MY MEN AND SLAUGHTERING MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER?! AM I A FUCKING JOKE TO YOU? THE GODDESSES MAY FORGIVE YOU BUT I FOR HELL WILL NOT"

The king's face grew red with rage as he screamed at the top of his lungs at me.

The king began to beat me into a bloody pulp.

My nose was broken.

My eyes cried tears of blood.

My mouth filled with bloody saliva.

All of those things had just been done to me yet what the king said next I truly feared.

"Knights lock him up in the dungeon and dungeon, I will be sure that he feels the pain that he brought upon my wife and daughter. I will be sure to rip your lungs from your ribs with knives. I will tear you limb from limb!"

The king's voice rumbled the building even scaring his guards.

My body trembled with fear as I was chained up in the dungeon.
