Belief

My face slowly twists into a horrified mess of emotions. I can't believe I calmed down and just ate the muffin, awaiting what was about to happen. Heather continues, unaware of my state.

Lemme summarise it for you.

Apparently, I am a superhuman force created on the Chain of the Seven Palaces (more on that later) and was born to destroy the world. Someone named Lia was sent to stop me, but she failed, died, and I was born. When I was 'created' I broke the chain to one of the Palaces and killed all the people inside it.

So. I'm a murderer.

I feel like I'm going to be sick. As soon as I find out my past, I ALSO find out that my entire purpose is to murder people and destroy the world. I drown out Heather's voice, and her words blur into a mess of a backstory.

Suddenly, Heather stops and puts her hand in her pocket, pulling out a piece of crumpled paper. 

"This is from the Fourth Palace. We are in the Seventh Palace." Heather handed me the paper and I instantly opened it.

What was written on it, I will never forget...
