This is yet another story that is a mystery for everyone in the Kingdom, well... Almost everyone.
Once upon a time, there was a small kingdom that I didn't even give a name and please take note that this kingdom is different from that Kingdom. In that small kingdom, there is a young boy who is the grandson of the current king, he is well nourished since he was a little baby, and when he was still a little kid, he was given a perfect education on all sorts of knowledge. However there's one thing that bothers him since a child, his 'little' secret that he is not allowed to let anyone around him know, not even his own parents. He is not allowed to get injured no matter what, even the smallest injuries, because he has an extraordinary self-healing ability, and due to this reason, he is taken away from his parents since he is a little baby by his grandparents. He was living with them in the castle... Well, instead of living in the castle, he is more like confined in the castle, most of the time he is not allowed to step out from his room without the order from the old King. However he life is very comfortable with all the servants taking good care of him and his grandparents love him so much, just they don't want people to know that 'special abilities', in that kingdom, any kind of 'inhuman abilities' are considered as demonic or sorceries and will be given a death sentence by the High Priest, even for the Royal family.
However, the servants love their little Prince so much that, they snuck him out of the castle on his seven years old birthday to a small circus in the neighboring country and met that other boy that will change his whole life. That was a really wicked 'performance', that boy is tied on a cross half-naked, his body is covered by bruise and wound. The ringmaster asked the crowd to whip the boy one by one for some 'demon exorcism'. The boy on the stage remained emotionless despite of the whip cutting through the flesh. The little prince almost thought the boy is a doll if it's not because of his weak breath. So when it's his turn to whip the boy, he softly poked him to confirm he is alive and secretly snuck him a small packet of b.u.t.ter cookies which is the sign of the starting of their fated friends.h.i.+p, and when he left the stage, he swears he could feel the eyes of the boy looking at him like he saw an idiot.
When the Prince gets back to the Palace, he asks his servant, what has the boy done deserve this kind of 'punishment', the servant answer him the boy is considered as a demon because he is immune to poison. "If he is a demon then what am I?" the Prince ask and the servants are unable to answer him. And a few days later he received the news of the whole circus getting wipe up by an unknown force which put him into a deep sorrow for years.
As a Prince, he life isn't as pleasant as everyone thought it would be, when he is 14 years old, his parents who he rarely has seen, pa.s.sed away all the sudden, no one knows the reason, people said they get killed in a ma.s.sacre at a village they visited. The Prince however did not feel sad about it as he totally knows nothing about them, they are just like pure strangers to him. However, things don't just end like that, the old King which is also the Prince's grandfather pa.s.sed away a year later, he is forced to accept the throne as suggested from the High Priests. He doesn't want to be the next king since he realized the 'King' is just in name, in fact he will be a puppet for the High Priest like his Grandfather, but he has no choice and accepted the throne at the age of 15 years old.
During the coronation, he was given a new name, Anthonio Wilson III. Vlansky Vearsilliom, other than that, the coronation ceremony is super boring that I do not want to write in detail.
After his coronation, there was a ball that is held to the purpose of finding a queen for the new king. On that ball he saw a 'girl' with flaming red long hair, that timid 'girl' reminds him of the boy he saw in the circus when he was a kid, so he invited 'her' to the Palace. Later, he found some shocking fact about that 'girl', he found that the 'girl' is actually the son of the curse Arzazez clan, that is been 'predicted' as a Fire Demon to be, found out that he is another victim of all these ridicule believes, the King had decided he will make sure the same tragedy would not happens twice. He had witnessed countless of innocent people getting tied up on the cross and burn to death but he can't do anything, everyone listens to the High Priest, while he is only a puppet king.
However no matter how much he is trying to protect that only son of the Arzazez clan from the religious group, the secret still leaks out, there is a servant who is too scared of the 'foresight' had betrayed her king. She leads the religion army and breaks into the king's chamber, everyone included the king getting tied up, they put on a sack on the face of the son of Arzazez and brand a holy pattern on his chest with a burning iron. The king wants to save him but he is held tight by five religious armies. Then they have been brought out to a field, in the middle of the field, there's a cross surrounded by a whole stack of dried hay. They tied the son of Arzazez onto the cross, prayers can be heard loudly when they doing this. The High Priest took a bottle of 'holy water' and poured to the face of the puppet king while chanting holy verse, then he slapped the king continuously in order to get him 'out of the seduction' of the fire demon. However, the king did not care about this, the only thing in his eyes right now, is his red-haired friend is about to be burn on that sarcastic looking cross.
He struggled in despair, shouting frantically to the boy that tied up on the cross echoed with the sarcastic prayer from the crowd. Who is going to save this poor boy if it's G.o.d the one that chooses to destroy him?
With the Holy water that once again pours onto him, that burning slaps from the High Priest, and the ear-piercing holy verse, the King's vision slowly turns blurry, he had slowly given up on everything, his friends and family, his kingdom, his own freedom, and even his own future, if the High Priest wants to take full control on him, just let it be, he has totally given up to the fate. Suddenly...
"There are situations even G.o.d have given up on you, you should probably have realized it, there's no such thing as G.o.d for you. If they think that you are a demon, then be one, and show them how a real demon would be." The king heard some voices in his head. "Mmm... I guess I have nothing left to regret right now." He thought. Then he decided to release that 'secret' he had been holding on for years, he removed that charm from his grandfather and broke it, all the sudden the earth trembled and the fire around the cross extinguished, the puppet king is surrounded by a heavy aura, everyone around him is pressed to the ground except for the Arzazez son who is still on the cross. Then he walks to the Cross and releases the red-haired boy, he looks at the surrounding and the dead body of his loyal servants that have their head pierces through by countless of arrows. Then he looks at the religious army and the High Priest who still have a Bible in his hand, he smiled. The ma.s.sacre is about to happen...
Two years have pa.s.sed since that ma.s.sacre, the puppet king is now a bounty hunter with the name Sky. He lives with the red hair boy named Maria and a Legendary Healer who act as their caretaker. That day he received a quest of hunting a time traveler, he meets a person during the process which makes him failed to complete the quest. Sky has a feeling that he somehow knows him especially when how that person looks at him like an idiot, but before he could know more about him, he left.
However, their fate had been tied together by some unseen power. A year later, Sky saw him again, lying unconsciously at somewhere near a destroyed town. His right eye is badly injured as if someone has branded a seal into it. Sky brought him back to his hideout and getting the Legendary Healer to treat him, then they discovered some disturbing old scar on him, this makes Sky think of another boy he met in the circus, could it be him? Then they found out that the person's name is Chris. Yes! Finally the trio had united!
So, the three of them have become best friends. And one day, Sky is sitting on a field with Chris at his side, he feels like he needs to confirm something from Chris, so he starts asking some weird questions. "Hey, Chris, do you know anything about that circus ma.s.sacre incident?" Hearing the question, Chris laughed and look at him. "Well... There are some situations even G.o.d has given up on you, you should probably have realized it, there's no such thing as G.o.d for you. If they think that you are a demon, then be one, and show them how a real demon would be." Hearing that answers, Sky is shocked, that's what he heard in his head during that 'exorcism'. Then they remain silent for a few minutes before Chris speaks again. "That pack of cookies, I haven't had a chance to ask my sister how it tastes like, but thanks." "Chris..." then the two of them just looking at each other without saying anything until Maria interrupted them.
The End... Not really.
Many years later, the trio had successfully created an organization with the name of Kingdom, but none of them want to be the King and so we have that fateful 'scissors rock paper' match, Chris loses and forced to be the King.
The End.
