Possessions

Atlas only had just noticed whatever Octavian was trying to get his attention for. However, Allen looked so different, his hair was no longer neatly groomed as his face looked paler than ever, his body covered in bruises and deep wounds that made Atlas wince to look at.

Allen fell asleep in the comfort of Octavian's warm arms that held him tight. He was then being carried back to the carriage where Atlas stood at the door as he furiously continuously spouted out questions without even the need to breathe.

"Why is he unconscious? Why is he covered in bruises? Why does-" he was then stopped by a gentle hand being placed over his mouth by Andres, who volunteered to come along as the knights of Drakos, trailing behind the royalties with horses.

"That's.. not important right now Prince Atlas. How about we settle things with the Krul Family firstly?" he reasoned as he calmed down Atlas by patting his back gently. "We'll have a nice chat with them won't we? Lord Satan shall carry out the punishments for Krul as they have broken the rules." Andres said as he restrained himself not bursting into the worn down castle of the Krul's and crash the whole place.

"Fine." Atlas murmured as he watched Octavian carefully placed down the unconscious Allen on the carriage seat. "I'll come." Octavian said as he took out a cloth from his pocket as he winced at Allen's deep chest wound that was still healing terribly slow.

"If you're going, who is going to watch over Allen?" Atlas asked with an impatience tone in his voice.

"One of the knights will. I shall not stand by and let the Krul's go off this easily..for what they had done." Octavian said as he gritted his teeth and gestured over to a couple of knights.

"And besides, I have much more knowledge of what is happening now as Allen had told me before he had passed out." he reassured as he jumped off the carriage and place his hand over the handle of his sword. "The castle was burnt down by Allen." he said, waiting for the other's response.

"Impossible.. How.. Gol-" Atlas was cut off by Octavian placing his hands over his shoulders and whispering into his ears. They both looked at each other and nodded.

"We.. don't need to do anything more than just handing over this letter from Dad. The damage has already been dealt by Allen. I'm sure he rather be the one to plan the Krul's family downfall. We shall not interfere." Atlas said to Andres as he pulled out a scroll from the carriage and walked towards the worn down castle.

"We shall check up on those filthy royalty of yours. And you.." Atlas turned to the knights that were now protesting violently against the entry of him, Octavian and a couple of Drako's knights.

The knights pointed the tips of their blades towards Octavian as they denied entry. "Die." Octavian said as his eyes shined a bright crimson and the knights hands began to shake furiously as their weapons were now being directed at themselves as they stab themselves through the heart unwillingly.

"It always amazes me to see your mark in action." Atlas remarked as he slammed open the wooden door, breaking it down as wood exploded everywhere.

"Same here." Octavian replied back with a sly smile as he walked through the dirty hallways that were burnt. He spotted a line of blood on the walls as some of the blood staining it resembled hand prints. He realized whose it was and immediately looked away as he confidently strolled through the hallways and easily locating the throne room of the Krul's but no one was to be seen except for a few knights who were on watch.

"Ah! D-drakos Family." all the knights immediately bowed their heads as low as they attempt to get a grip on their weapons, trembling in fear from the overwhelming presence. "What brings us the honor of seeing you here..? The Kruls.. Are busy at.. The moment. Please pardon us." one of the knight said as he struggled to continue his lines without stuttering.

"Where are they?" Octavian asked, his eyes glowing a deadly red once again.

"They are headed towards the healing tower." the knights said in unison as they slapped their hand over their mouths once they had realized what they had just said.

Octavian and Atlas immediately left the room and headed towards the healing towers. Atlas decided that it would take far too long to reach there the proper way so he broke down the walls, with his strong and viscous kicks. Once his leg reaches the wall, it crumbles to dust in an instant.

Octavian coughed as he struggled to breathe through the dust. They eventually made their way towards a tower that was overuled with bushes and greenery that looked like it was not well taken care of.

Walking up the creaky steps of the staircases they made their way pass the guards effortlessly as they eventually reached a door where healers could be seen rushing in and out frantically.

"D-drakos..?! I beg your pardon! But you may not enter-" the healer choked on her words as she felt like her bosy was being suffocated and crushed by a overwhelming force as she struggled for air.

Atlas and Octavian intruded the room only to see a huge king sized bed and there layed the king of Krul himself, completely unrecognizable as his face was burnt off along with one of his limbs. It was truly a gory and revolting sight to behold.

"urgh" Octavian grumbled as he placed his hand over his mouth in disgust as he held back the urge to vomit.

"WOAH MAN what happened to ya?" Atlas said as he walked over to the distorted body of supposedly the Krul King. "Got a little burnt by our little monster didn't ya?" he asked as he started pulling out a scroll from his coat.

"Cat got your tongue? Oh wait that part is burnt off!" Atlas mockingly said as he laughed and rudenly trew the scroll on the burnt body.

"See you..soon." he whispered coldy before leaving with a cheery look on his face as he dragged Octavian out of the room.

"We're leaving already?" Octavian asked as he left the room.

"We shall not interfere. Afterall, the Krul's are now Allen's possessions." he said with a huge smile. "Don't you think?"

"And besides, we might need to focus more on Allen currently right now, instead of the lowlifes."
