~~~(POV: Saliandra Orvello)~~~

~~~(Location: Orvello Estate in Greshina, Elven Kingdom)~~~

~~~(Time: 10:03 AM)~~~

Jezix looks into my eyes, and I see no remorse for the atrocities that he's committed against my mother. The damned existence her set upon her. "TELL ME!!! TELL ME WHY YOU DID IT!!" I was told it's because she was captured by bandits and lost her pure status. A large part of me knows that there is more to it than that. Politics at work.

I twist the blade, and he lets out a long growl. "Knowing the truth will make no difference now, so it can die with my family and me..." It takes a piece of my soul not to end him right now. I pull out the blade and shove it into his other shoulder. "RRAAAHH!!!" He lets out a yell from the pain, but it's not as loud as the first time.

He doesn't know the true suffering he's about to endure. "Fine, Jezix's. Perhaps seeing the family you do care about and love die in front of you will change your mind." His eyes slowly widen, and he tries to struggle free, but my sword is cleanly through and pinning him to the ground. I look towards Cera. "Get the wife." He nods his head and slowly makes his way towards her.

She tries to escape, but he's too fast and pulls her by the scalp and throws her towards me. "DON'T YOU TOUCH JESIZA!!!" Jezix is fast to try and fight for his wife. I turn my attention towards her and make my way over. I pin her under my boot, and I lean over. Punching her square in the nose. An immediate crack is heard, and Jezix's struggles harder.

Cera makes sure that no one else is trying to get away, and he's leaving me to do what I need to. "If he won't tell me the truth, maybe you will. You can spare yourself some pain." She closes her eyes and turns her head away. "Thought so." I ball up my hand into a fist and give three right hooks in a row. Her face is starting to swell.

Jezix is trying with all his strength to pull out the blade, but it won't move. It'll keep him pinned for as long as he needs. I grab Jesiza by her mouth and force her to look at me. "Start talking, or I'm going to smash your teeth out next." She remains silent, and I spin her on her stomach and grab her hair. In the next second, I smash her head and mouth against the floor.

Her teeth fly out along with the blood that goes with them. After getting the majority of them to break and fall out, she's nearly unconscious. "YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS!! I SWEAR TO THE GODS ABOVE YOU'LL SUFFER FOR EVERYTHING YOU'RE DOING!!!" Jezix's words don't scare me in the slightest. I spin Jesiza back towards me, and her eye unswollen eye is fluttering open and closed.

She's going to lose consciousness, and she won't be any more use to me. "Since your closing your eyes, I might as well end your miserable existence." I pull an extra dagger from my boot, and I drive it into her throat. She starts choking on her blood and staring me in the eyes as her life fades. Jezix is screaming at the top of his lungs about how he'll get revenge.

My attention is turned towards the girl, the youngest one in the room. "Grab her." As I stand and point, Jesiza bleeds to death. Gripping her throat and trying to breathe. Cera darts towards the girl and grabs her by the neck, and tosses her down to me. She lands at my feet and looks up at me. If I had to guess, she's a relative of mine.

Jezix starts to freak out and struggle even harder. His bones are cracking, and his desperation is becoming so much more enjoyable. He feels a fraction of what I've had to endure. The helplessness... The weakness... The lack of control... "DON'T YOU DARE LAY A HAND ON HER!! SHE'S THE LAST DAUGHTER OF THE ORVELLO HOUSE!!" That means she's my cousin.

I reach out for her, and before I can grab her by the neck, Jezix decides to speak. "OKAY!! OKAY, I'LL TELL YOU THE TRUTH!! JUST SPARE HER!! SHE'S GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY OF THIS!!!" My attention is back on Jezix, and he scowls at me as I stand above him. He takes a few calming breaths. I didn't think he'd break.

His weaknesses were right beside him, and he still acted so arrogantly. "You... You're not a half-breed... Your mother... She became pregnant with you after sharing a bed with the Crown Prince before he died... The First Born of the Throne and Oryzox's son..." Umm... What!? What the fuck kind of lie is this!! Mom never said anything about that in her diaries! It's a lie!

As I'm moving to deal a killing blow to the girl, he pleads in desperation for me to listen. "Your mother and the prince were discovered, and she brought shame upon our house... We cast her out because you jeopardized the line of succession for Oryzox's daughters... That's the truth..." No! Mom would've written about this in her diary!!

He looks at me in defeat and takes another breath. "Yeah... I condemned my eldest daughter to a slave's life... I let it happen... Only from the fear of having my entire house destroyed... We're not as powerful as we once were... Queen Oryzox would've killed all of us..." I don't know what to do... My instinct makes me turn to Cera, and my emotions are plastered all over me.

Cera doesn't know how to react either... He's shocked too... "You have the rightful claim to the Elven Throne... You are the eldest and only daughter of Queen Oryzox's only son... Your father was exiled too... He's still alive out there... My spies said he's somewhere in Avalon..." My entire world has been turned upside down... Is this the truth? How do I know he's not lying!?

He takes a deep breath and looks towards my cousin. "Please... I told you what you wanted to know... I gave you the truth... Let her live... She's the future of our house..." I look down, and all I see is a frightened girl that can't speak from the terror she's in... She reminds me so much of me... Before I know it, Cera is beside me with his hand on my back.

Cera wraps his arm around me and brings me into a hug. "I know this is hard to hear... I don't know what I'd be thinking in your situation... What do you want to do?" His question causes pain to rip through me. I pull away from him and walk over to Jezix. I stand over him and pull my blade out. He releases a long groan.

I bring the sword over my shoulder and prepare to lop off his head. "Everyone in this house dies except for her. This is the penance for your sins." He doesn't fight it, and he closes his eyes in acceptance. I bring my sword down, and his head flies off. The girl lets out a horrid cry, and she's doing all she can to resist grabbing her dead grandparents.

I turn my attention to the rest in the room, and I give a single nod to Cera. We both leap, and we quickly kill everyone. The walls and ceiling are painted crimson, and the blood runs through the room in all directions. "Let's get out of here. I want to see what the others are up to." Cera walks beside me as we leave now that we're finished. This didn't go the way I wanted it to.
