The Golden Emperor

One city, sleeping through the calm winds of the night, dreams shining in the sky.And stars waiting for this heaven to cut the only string that keep it that way.But in this beautiful night, a groupe of people had stop dreaming stop hopping and yet they are here looking at those envious stars, Killer against magician.I was looking at the dark sky, no thought in mind with the exception of the image of my bloody hand that i had in this room and the one and only wish that keep me away from freedomAll around me the machinery of chaos we’d built these past months was slowly falling into place.Max while setting the coordinates in some missile cannon that an amiral gave us:"Are you ready ?"Rim close his eyes and reply: "I was never meant to be ready, i was meant to kill and i will do it by any mean"Samael while taking a gun a box that max had prepared:"It's time""Take your tool, and good luck""Make them regret..."3 killers against an army of mage we will not win this war and yet i never felt so alive, so real to myself, walking side by side my mentor and a genius killing machine with only one goal in mind.My eyes crossed Mike's we were happy, frenetically squishing a dark smile on his face.Maybe have i blink; maybe have i imagine something; but i could had swear that i had seen him cover in blood for an instante smiling with deep wound all around his body and dead eye.I had always live with death but today was maybe the first time i had something so similar to the one i know.This image made Rim thought of his goal; he had never ask Max: what was his goal ?He should have one and judge by this face, Samael happen to have something very important for Max... the first man we saw when we arrive at the mage's building in the center of the city, was a boy with his friend he was...BamSamael took the first shot, a nearly perfect shot, precise and deadly in his chest.You really thought a war could be won when you know the full story, there is no winner there is only looser trying to lose less than the other and right now we are winning.Max took out grenade out of his back pocket and put them in trash near the tower," We have 30min, be gentle with them Samael they don't deserve to die fast"We hide the body in a bag, Max had for job to be responsible of the outside no one enter leave and no one needed to know or understand.Then Me and Samael enter the tower, costume, fake id everything was there to make us infiltrate this place. But soon enough the elevator was full, and the door close,Soon enough the first floor became quiet.Soon enough our finger reach the trigger.boomboomi could feel my heart beat in my hand as i raise my gun, no one had noticed yet,but my gun was there pointing at this fool. Why was i smiling, when did i start, Is this that human call living, is a demon allow to feel that..."A GUNNN !!!!"Rim, calmly: "I see… I should have hidden it more properly."A voice had raise from the floor, chaos took his place and my gun was his ruler, the alarme start and scream rythme the step everyone was doing while trying to leave.Rim took his gun out his back pocket and charge at the crowd:"Shall we dance"At first glance we could have thought that the hand with the gun had disappear but despite that, fear spread in the victims’ eyes; they all had a single thought in their minds"Why can i follow the speed of his hand and still clearly saw his gun's barrel pointed at me"There was practically 200 people in the room, and every single one of them saw the shot that at this instante Rim shot at every single one of them.Rim eyes turned golden has she put his gun up in the air, contemplating the face of the few people in the room that deserve to stand Infront of him, real mage...They all react differently some hide themself behind a pillar, some use magic, and other people be protected. There was now only 15 still standing in front of what they describe as the golden emperor...You may asked why his he called an emperor and that his dude at the simple fact that after a single attacked he earned the respect of everyone and prouve his place in this world. Hand were shaking but the eye were telling otherwise,Strange marks appeared on their bodies, glowing in the darkness, threw the blood on there skin.An old man, share a look with his dead friend, he withdrew his necklace and put it carefully on the ground, he rolled up his sleeves and more determine than ever he walked past the body and one step after an other came in front of me. Fear had disappear and let his place to pride.In a slow movement he put his hand on rim shoulder."Shall we dance ? What a funny way to start a massacre but be it come at me !"The marked completely covered his hand his night blue eyes shift to a bright sky blue.In a fast move the old man raised his hand, and the air ignited.A wall of fire erupted between them, so brutal that Rim froze for a second, surprise by that strength, it was the first time he ever saw magic, with the surprise Rim didn't saw the punch coming a punch that literally could kill a man if land correctly, and yet because rim by instinct move a little bit his body the impact only shattered his ribs, knocked out his breath, and sent him rolling to the ground, avoiding death by an inch. The man arm was covered in magic steal and hellish fire was coming out of it.The man took a step forward and in extraordinary explosion he launched himself at me, fist aimed at my head.All Rim's sens was screaming to get out of his way, and every single fibber from his muscle were used to launch himself back, He raised his gun at his head the hand yet practically in contact with his own.I shot. No i hope i had died, his hand completely crushed mine with the gun, he had changed his attacked movement mid air.Rim looked down at the bloody flesh that now was his hand.Then he looked up. And smiled.His eyes flashed gold again, one last time, before he gently closed them."You are such a great dancer i hope your girl will on day discover what his dad died in this room"The man stunned by those words could just look at Rim as he show in his second hand the elder's necklace that he had put away a few second before.It was containing a child picture. An happy family that just lost one of there grand parent.I opened my glowing eye again letting the usual black colour come back, as i look at his desperate eye.He fell to his knees, then his whole body crashed to the floor, blood spilling from the wounds in his stomach.The small hope that people had gain vanished, as i straighten up my self and look at them while taking the small bloody knife that was on the old man body.Rim wipe the blood on the knife with the old man's shirt then stand up, no one dare to move, so Rim happily said:"I never plan to go easy on you, i just wanted to know what you were capable of, so don't be upset and entertain me a little more"and his Golden eyes appear again..."You were so much better at annoying me when I was a child so let me take my turn"
