Chapter 214: Snake vs Bone (V): Sekeris

Sekeris was just seven years old, but even then he knew just how much of a responsibility he had to his people. This new world was weird, and for their race to survive, he had to remain alive. But he wasn't so sure how he could do that. The monsters, creatures of a similar bloodlines as theirs didn't care that they had come forth with the choice to rule them, to serve a greater master and a greater purpose. But instead they had chased after them, with brutality the likes of which he had never seen, the young prince of the BOA empire had to watch his people get slaughtered, one after the other, just so he could have a chance to survive and continue the bible line. Because in the end nothing mattered.

It wasn't as if he was the only child, he was just the one who had fully inherited the royal gene. He was stronger and faster than the other princes and princesses, and he understood much more of what they were being thought that what was allowed even the ambassador. But never the less, all of this didn't make much sense, and it was up to them to truly find a way they can connect to the people invading and the monsters driving them into lands that all too well spelled certain doom.

But still he remained quiet he remain nice he remained obedient, hearing their screamed as the sun rise up. His skin itched, the atmosphere of this planet didn't really agree with him, but he was told that over time, after a few weeks that he would be in full and total control of himself and completely acclimated to the planet that they would now be calling their new home. It was morning, and there were more noise, his nurse maid and mother had passed during the cover of darkness, succumbing to the poison in more ways than one. But as the morning arrived, it seems as if the trouble that came didn't come for blood.

A retainer had told him that natives, civilized though not as much they were; natives of this bloody rock had come forward and completely wiped out the monsters. The creatures that they felt would have been their brethren were completely destroyed skin, coil and limb until all that was left was an intense stench of blood in the air. He would have happily wanted to be thankful, but these aliens went after his people next, and even though they didn't kill any one of them, they weren't exactly nice. But even though Sekeris was just seven years older he understood things far more than children of this godforsaken rock could ever do.

There was no way the Poison that had killed more than half his people, and even decimated a significant number of the monsters, who were also undoubtedly natives, was just a common coincidence. These new arrivals were completely fine, they were noticed last night, but they had kept their distance, and in return his people had died just as well as the monsters leaving them ripe for the picking. It was just a theory backed without any hard facts but it all planned need to what he could see. To what he could understand and all of the evidence that was laid in front of him; this Poison wasn't some weird air on this planet, it was the handwork of these new people, and his blood boiled with anger for revenge.

And maybe his chance came too soon as the vehicle where he was being house had it's doors open. There was a man; big and green and so muscled that ever idea of revenge was swiftly removed from his face. His body quivered and the extra skin on his neck seemed to spread behind his head, giving him a good that cemented his power and surety amongst his people, and said good spread even more to show his intense fear of the massive green man in front of him. He shrunk back deeper into the luxury truck, hiding his small body in between the numerous cushions placed there for his comfort.

"The Cobra's Son." Their language was archaic, one that would have taken a normal member of their race quite a few years to understand, but his people have been in orbit above this planet for quite a few years and had enough understanding of it to have thought it's common tongue to royalty. This was to prepare him to rule them, after the BOA empire brought it's Intentions of dominance and enslaved them all. So he understood the name he was called, after it was a honorary title given to all princes who were next in line to be king, a title he held. Soon enough there were two women in the truck, one also beautiful with dark skin of light bronze and brown, and a body many of his elders would have fought and killed for. And the other so fierce with skin of red and symbols of gold, and a body and face just as powerful and inviting as the other woman.

"Gynaika he's just a child! This seems a little too much!" the woman with red skin said, her voice distressed as Sekeris knew she was talking about him.

"There are no choices to be had Lenore, that boy would become a threat to our beloved, it won't be as easy as giving him a merciful death. I have seen it, his fall.....Rezar will be in so much pain and all that boy...that thing over there will do is laugh as he kills the man you've grown to love over and over again!" the other woman with the skin of light bronze spoke.

"But you love him too don't you? You know he would never stand for this, no matter how dark of a heart he has, he would never kill a child..... He's literally just a child himself." The woman with skin of red whispered as she moved closer to Sekeris and knelt down in front of him.

"What I'm feeling is why I'm here…..being Queens of this land is not just a fact or a responsibility that would soon fall on our lap, it's our destiny. You and I our children will fight for the right to rule his empire, and there will be others in that fight with us, I have seen it. But that's just a possibility..... there are still a million things that will take his life before that day comes...and many of them only we can stop...I'll help you. So this sin is not just on your head….. it's also on mine." And then Sekeris watched as the woman called Gynaika held the hands of the red skinned woman and both drove their rapier deep Into his heart, and all he knew was darkness as his anger floated away into Nothingness, the white King.....Remains safe!
