Lost and Sunder - Prolouge
“Ah!” Screams could be heard throughout the corridors as men cladded in silver armoured, massacred the people inside the mansion heading towards the master bedroom at a quick pace. Sylvia whom was inside the room, picked up her 2 child children and passed them to the Nanny tearfully as she realised she could no longer follow through with her promise. Mom! Mom!” the children were screaming to Sylvia to follow them and hide but, Sylvia had realised she would need to die to make sure her children were safe. However as her children left to hide, she sat down on a chair as she reminisced on her thoughts on what she had agreed to do with her husband and their children which were to… Yet that dream came crashing down on her as reality struck again with the doors being kicked open which saw a influx of 20 of these men into the room surrounding her. As they encircled her and enclosed on her, tears were already in her eyes streaming down her eye’s before dripping onto her lap as she accepted fate. A sword plunged through her back and came out from the front, which made the sword stuck between the spine and chest. As blood dripped from her chest she slumped back weakly, dying slowly…
The Duke rushed back after hearing the situation that was occurring back home via teleportation at the Central Military Camp, when he teleported to the front of his house he rushed in, however when he closed in towards the master bedroom…
As the attackers left, workers of the estate began searching throughout the manor before stumbling upon Sylvia’s body, however as they found it they saw her husband the Grand Duke of the Linorth Empire, inching closer to Sylvia as tears streamed down from his eyes. He knelt down and held her in his arms as tears began flowing uncontrollably while holding her lifeless body, as the tip of the sword banged against his breast plate, he vowed for revenge when the time comes. He had fought for 5 arduous years, which ranged from arid deserts to winter mountains. However when he got back what greeted him wasn’t happiness or laughter, it was sorrow and guilt for he had not been there to protect her…
As he began crying on his regrets, he heard the sounds of muffled crying coming from one of the trapdoors at the far-right side of the bedroom, he hesitated but walked towards it anyways, as he pulled it open he saw the nanny and the 2 children, a male child with short jet-black hair with a female child that had long-silky silver hair, they had red eye’s the same eye colour as his. The Nanny stood up and walked towards the duke and said, “These are your children birthed by the Madam, they are 5 years old, and she gave birth to them during your expedition to the North..” As tears began flowing from his eyes again, he realised that these 2 were the treasures she had left him with her passing, a few moments ago, he vowed for revenge, but now he vowed to take care of the children and raise them to become the most powerful people in the world.
