[b]Chapter Three[/b] [spoiler]make sure to read chapter two before continuing![/spoiler] One by one, all of the dojo members were carried or dragged out onto the bridge by cloaked figures as well as the five white haired men and women. They were put on the bridge, and pulled up to their knees so they could look ahead at the castle. Lyn, Arianna, Royal, Isaac, it didn't matter who. All of them were drugged, or gassed, to their knowledge. Their powers, abilities, skills, all of them were hindered. Even those considered immortal by their enemies were subdued. It turned out that the men and women known as Felix, Diana, Faolin, Cain and Lilly were actually the siblings to Alex. Then, the older white haired man with the cane was their father. This man was known as Tywin Coldbourne. Zane and Anne knew these things already of course, but the others only knew bits and pieces. Suddenly, after all of them were dragged to the bridge, two more figures were thrown in front of Zane. His son, and his daughter. They were breathing, but unconscious. He couldn't focus on anything, as the gas had made him narrow sighted. The same went for everyone else. But, he and the rest of them dojo members saw what was ahead of them. In front of them were the six Coldbourne family members. There was Lilly, on the far right. Cain who was to her left. Then Tywin, then Felix and Diana and Faolin. In front of Tywin and Felix, in the middle, was Alex who was put down on his knees. Tywin walked forward, the infinite blade in his hand. He twirled Alex's massive blade around and swung it through the air. "Hmph! My, no kidding people think your a damned legend. This blade does all the work for you with its balance." Tywin said gruffly. His face was pale, and had wrinkles on its cheeks. He had white hair, like his children, but there were strands of grey coming out. He had brilliant blue eyes and and edged face as well. And, he was absolutely terrifying. "Screw...you..." Alex made out. He spoke with a slur as he said so. "Sorry? I didn't quite get that boy." Tywin said to Alex. He clearly heard it as he knelt down beside his son, but it wasn't enough. "Screw-!" Alex was interrupted as Tywin slapped him across the face. It let out and audible [i]SMACK[/i] that almost echoed across the mountains. "DAD! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Lilly, the smallest girl, let out. She ran towards the two men in front, but Cain grabbed her by her arm and pulled her back. "Lilly. Let this happen." Diana said. "It will be over soon." Felix and Faolin both smiled at those words as Tywin stood up. He twirled the infinite blade in hand as he looked out at the dojo warriors. "Hmph! I suppose that this is rather confusing for some of you. So, I'll tell you why I'm doing this. To be brief. Dear Alexander here, is my damned son. Not only that, but a LONG time ago, he killed me. Isn't that something? He killed his father, AND his king." "Because...you...." Alex tried to let out. "Oh shut up boy." Tywin then interrupted. "I disciplined my children. As I disciplined you." Tywin paced behind Alex and twirled the massive sword in his hand. "That being said, you committed QUITE the crime. In fact, it is one of the most SERIOUS crimes." "Treason." Felix clarified with a smile. "Mmmm. That's right, Felix. Treason." "S-stop...please..." Anne begged. The woman was in love with Alex, as was he to her. Her eyes were wet with fear and she shook from the drugged gas. "Oh. My...this is Anne isn't it?" Diana asked. "My brothers lover. Oh...how sad." Diana said ominously. "L-leave...her..." Alex made out. Tywin looked down at his son. "Hmmm? Oh, yes of course Alexander. I wouldn't think of touching the girl. Right now, that is." "Stop. Please!" Anne was able to say clearly. Tears ran down her cheeks as she made out the words. Alex looked right at her, and only her. He looked like he was trying to say something, but he couldn't make it out. "I'm sorry, dear. But I'm afraid Alex has already sent this train in motion..." Tywin said. He turned to Faolin as he stopped behind Alex. "Faolin, son?" "Hehe. Yes, father?" The large man asked Tywin. "Tell me, what is the punishment for treason?" "Death, of course Father." Faolin answered. Tywin raise the infinite blade close to his chest with his right hand. The blade glimmered in the dusk of the evening and shined bright. "Death...eh?" Tywin said quietly and suggestively. He looked off to the town, before he spoke his grim words. "What an excellent idea." Then, without warning, Tywin brought the infinite blade back and thrusted it forward, straight through Alex's chest. A look of surprise came upon his face as his own blade impaled his chest. He looked at Zane. His breath was light, and as Tywin brought the blade out from his sons chest, Alex's blue eyes faded as he took one last look at the world. He looked to Anne, and said...something. But no one could catch it. Then, he fell forward. Limp and lifelessly. "NOOOOO!" Cried the small white haired girl as she broke out crying. Cain held her back as she wailed into his suit. Anne fell forward, unconscious, as soon as Alex hit the ground... [spoiler]How this post will work: You will reply with your reaction.
