Chapter 22: The Greatest Murderer

PART 1

Long ago during the times when the Three Brothers, Cain, Abel, and Seth quietly lived in the Village of Etobu, playing with the other kids, and enjoying their lives, a prophecy soon came.

"Hahahah, I got you! Too slow to catch up with me Abel!"

Cain ran away from Abel as they played tag off the edges of the Village. They ran around the fields and into the forest, Abel being the fastest managed to catch up with Cain in a heartbeat.

"I got you back!"

Cain was now tagged. This went on back and forth, back and forth.

*Ding Ding, Ding* The Village bell would ring in the center of Etobu. This signaled for all the villagers that mealtime was on its way, so they could feast.

Cain and Abel still played tag despite the bell ringing, however after a few seconds, Cain yelled in the distance.

"Brother it's time to eat!"

Abel had heard his other Brother and held off on their tagging session, now running out of the woods.

"Coming!"

Abel was heard trampling his feet along the branches and leafs, making his way into the Village.

"I'm running fast like the almighty, legendary Densin!"

Abel spread his arms out and made his way into the village while Cain had stopped making his way back.

"The Legendary Densin? I heard she was the fastest Mortal in the whole world who even married Zeus, though that's just a myth..."

Cain said these words as he looked back into the Forest from behind him... something about him felt off...

"Why is it that I wanted to... do bad things to Abel in the forest when we were alone...?"

He whispered this underneath his voice, making his way back into the village with a gloomy expression.

The Next day had soon came after the previous one in which they played tag. Abel was sitting next to Cain as they laid in their tents, their knees tucked into their chest and their hands wrapped around their calf's.

"Hey Cain, guess what? Seth right now is working the fields and planting the crops for our neighboring village, I heard you can make a lot of money doing it! He's making lots of it despite him only being 15! We should sign up and do the same!"

Abel joyously talked to Cain next to him. The two brothers seemed to have a wonderful relationship, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with them... except Cain himself.

"Y-Yeah! You're right Abel, that's why Seth has been gone so long, he's working hard and trying to get some money for me and you. And so we can eat rather having to hunt all the time!"

PART 2

The two boys rather eat from the Kingdom of Densin. The Kingdom itself is named after the fastest mortal of the Mortal World, her history dates back long ago, and she's said to even be a traveler of time. It says she can travel anywhere in the points of time, making her one of, if not the most troublesome mortal.

"Kingdom of Densin has delicious foods, I really need to try their yummy Moose again! They made some good tasty jerky there, but Seth eaten it all up from us after we bought it from our chore money."

Abel pouted at the end of his sentence as Cain laughed beside him.

"Hehehehe! Yeah, I bet he feels really bad so he decided to work the field job so he can buy us some more!"

Cain looked back at Abel as the two of them laughed.

They talked in their tent until dark came. It was raining outside, there was no time for them to play, rather they had to tell stories to one another to keep themselves entertained all night long.

When the moon struck and the rain stopped above them after hours together, they both haven't even noticed.

However bedtime had soon came, and Abel was the one to get tired the first outta the brothers.

"*Yawn* I'm so tired... we stayed in here talking about so many stories brother... we should sleep for tomorrow! Brother Seth may be coming back!"

Cain looked at Abel and nodded.

"You're right, I can't wait to see him again. It's been a lot of weeks without him here!"

Abel rubbed his eyes before stretching his arms above his head.

"Hnghhh...! Yeah, we need plenty of rest to see his exhausting face."

They both laughed at the joke, now Abel turning to his side and covering up by an custom made blanket, out of animal fur.

Cain laid onto his side as well, covering himself up and hearing the dripping of rain fall down outside of the tent, it was the aftermath of the rain from today.

Now drifting off into sleep, Cain could see everything turn dark... but that's when it all soon changed.

PART 3

"My babyyyy! My babyyyy!!!"

The voices sounded like echoes... Cain could see a terrified mothers face, her newborn child dead on the ground. He was standing right in the middle of his village... others around him dead, some crawling away desperately into safety.... This was a nightmare...

"C-Cain... please! Please spare me! Sir Cain!"

Cain couldn't control his dream, he watched as he cut off the head from the one who begged.

Blood splurged from his neck socket, his body laid cold onto the ground...

"Fufufu~ very nice my dear..."

In his dreams he noticed a figure with pale skin, white hair and a white dress... her name and appearance was obvious.

"Bloody Mary, may you do the honors?"

They both talked as if they known each other for a while...

"Of course...."

Cain watched in his dream, Bloody Mary taking a dagger from the ground, walking over to the woman who cried in front of her dead baby, forcing her to bow on her knees.

"Who is your master? Speak wisely!"

The woman crying didn't speak, she looked up at Bloody Mary crying, wailing from disbelief...

"God save me...!!!"

And thus her head came right off... Bloody Mary decapitating her and kicking her body to the ground.

"Foolish answer.... Heheh- hahahaha! Hahahahahaha!"

"Ahahahahahahaha!"

The both of them laughed in sync inside of his dream, laughing at the sight of the destroyed village, run down by their own hands.

<>

"Ahahahahaha!" (Both)

Bloody Mary and Seth now in the present had laughed just like they did in young Cain's dream.

It was similar, but without the same actions of taking over Etobu as that had already been established.

As of now they sat on a mountain of corpses from Etobu Village, a throne resting on top.

This land was now theirs...

"Starting tomorrow, this world will know my name."

Cain smiled, he knew he had the power to take over this world, and become the greatest murderer known to man. He's been feeling this way since he was a child, and thus his prophecy will enact...
