"it is a mistake to fancy that horror is associated inextricably with darkness, silence and solitude"

After my long walk I went back to my house.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKTEu92aqg
I lived with my mother and brother.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaR5qaMqbU
I didn't like my mother much as she blamed me for everything my supposed father did. He was hell, and I wasn't going to stay in it. So I did what I had to. I just wish there was a way for her to not pin everything on me, As a human, I can't take much stress. I was really weak to it even though I was a trained warrior. My feelings never interfered with my duties, my stress was due to my affection towards those that I love and I don't have anyone that I love besides my brother because I saw that as a source of weakness and I curse my parents for it.

Everyone was a trained warrior, that was what the academy was for. The academy was huge holding everyone from the age 10 to 18. Everyone was trained and taught well of the basics of being an independent adult wherever you are. From the age of 14 students had to choose what they wanted to specialize in. I chose to be a warrior so I could kill my father. My whole life revolved around that. Now that it is done I'm satisfied. I did the right thing. But it didn't change the fact that I wasn't satisfied with how my life had went on, and to be frank, I didn't see any beauty in life.

Now, I'm one of the warriors of the kingdom fighting to be the leader of all warriors of Asmodemia. It was the only other thing that gave me a purpose, keeping my brother safe and to an extent, the royalty as well.

I raced to my room without glancing around to say much to my mother. It really wasn't worth it. One moment she kisses me the other she blames me for him and everything that happens in this family. Anything to make her feel better.

I checked my windows and curtains to make sure everything was tightly shut and closed. I didn't want some creep looking through my window. It was a supernatural world they could see through everything unless you had special curtains, however, the king could see through any curtain he wanted, but that's besides the point. What would he be doing here anyways.

I chuckled to myself.

It's stupid to even think for a second that I'd be his soul mate. I had a major crush on the guy since childhood.

I furrowed my eyebrows when I heard my name, I shouted back to my brother "what is it, Argo? Do you need me?" I quickly put my jacket back on and rushed out.

His hand had a painful cannula plastered on. He shouldn't be here.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XwxyGf7rS
"I wanted to check on you"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYzfiTeLUR
"I just came back from visiting you, Argo. You need to be at the hospital resting"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2BrPzRLqE
He looked down "They said I can come back tomorrow, but they didn't need to check on me anymore, so I came back"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI4LDsUujf
I sighed looking at his silky dark hair as the strands fell on his forehead "Alright brother, but make sure to not get out of your room. If you need anything, shout my name right away".

He looked up trying to not let a smile take on his lips, but I could tell that his eyes held happiness and a dance of victory "that's my line, little sis"

I broke into a smile letting him into the house and making sure that his room isn't too cold or too hot. I made him a cup of tea to relax and helped him into bed making sure that his cannula doesn't bend.

"Please get better soon, I'll do all the work there is, you don't need to lift a finger ever again-"

He cut me off by pulling me into a hug, he started shivering slightly. I could tell he was holding back his feelings. I never liked that. Our father taught him that feelings make you weak and make you less as a person. I know his stupid masculinity complex isn't letting him win for his own sake.

"No, I can't let my baby sister take the elder child's responsibility. It is on me and me alone. I promise I'll get better soon just do what you want to do, it makes me happy to see you chasing what you love"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuHmXBZT9Z
He finished pulling back to look at me in the eyes "promise me"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHsZkNcgYX
"I promise, Argo" I smiled at him my own eyes tearing up as I saw my reflection in his.

"We will be alright"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhiZuGsTRn
His words stuck with me as I left his room to go back to my own.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYb0QfvQBU
I really wanted us to be alright.

Sighing, I decided to shower and relax in my bed. I pulled out my phone watching some random girl things.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClYvpWOBhX
After a while I put my phone away after setting my alarm,
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlHDm5LyTO
I've got a big day tomorrow. I should get some sleep.

I will be fighting many great warrior for that title. And I won't go in with the mentality of doubting myself and thinking that I won't win. Even if I fail I'll do it again and again till I can take it for myself.

The warrior leaders are two. There is never one. Nowadays, leaders always come in pairs unless it's an unmated king or queen.

I cracked my back accidentally while stretching and dropped my head on the pillow with a deep breath.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XSMBfqp3h
Everyone is going to be watching, and as the human I hope they give me the same treatment they would to the other creatures.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYapUv1amw
I hope I can win with my own strength.
