BXBX NOVEL Chapter 276 I'll Be Coming For You
He had faced the Cardinals and his crime of breaking the Code as set by the Round Table had fetched him a sentence of a hundred years in the Unholy tower.
Just as the name suggested, the UNHOLY TOWER was a place of untold atrocities.
It was a prison meant for those that had committed unfathomable crimes.
Or at least crimes that had been considered unfathomable by the Holy church.
The horrors of this place were so profound that even Demons did not wish to be locked here.
Stories of the Unholy tower were told to children at night. A means by which parents scared their children away from the wrong part.
Of course, many of the stories of this place were exaggerated.
They were exaggerated because the stories of this place were all a lie.
The only truth being that once in here, the only known way out was death.
Most if not all never made it to the end of their sentence.
Those that managed to, could never be integrated into society again.
The reason was quite simple. They became Mad.
In truth, Knight Sheyi was supposed to have been killed for his punishment. After all, breaking the Code as set by the round table could result in a state of war.
However, the Bronze rank knight had influence in certain places.
Basically, people that still saw a usefulness to his existence.
Also, he was a member of an Order of people that were considered still fresh under the By church.
Of course these were the Magicians.
Because of a concrete lack of understanding of their ways and customs in regards to their heritage, the Church decided that it was a smarter choice to keep him alive.
After all, a dead Magician's body was of no use.
This was not because the body had any weird obstructions when dead, but because a Magician's body always turned to dust when it was without life.
This was one of the many precautions their bloodline had to resist the world from knowing the source of their power.
Even the Holy church with it's broad knowledge was ignorant of Magic energy.
Knight Sheyi sat on the ground in his cell. He was naked, except for a loin cloth around his waist.
His Cell was dark. It also smelt like piss and other excrete.
As a former member of the Knightdom, he was entitled to a single cell.
This was a normal four walled cell. However, one side of the cell had sharp spikes.
Knight Sheyi stayed on the ground. He muttered one name 'Chiron' lowly like a mad man.
His sharp, unkept fingers scratched against the wall.
*Knock! Knock*
There was a KNOCK on the metallic cell door.
The sudden knock immediately drew his attention.
He Yelped in shock to the sound of the voice that came through the peep hole.
His head turned in sharp, quick response.
A pair of eyes looked at him through the peep hole.
"How have you been Son?"
His confused eyes seemed to recognize who it was talking to him through the peep hole.
"Magistri!!!" He rushed for the door, "you came!"
"Of course I came! You may be a good for nothing disciple, but you are still my disciple!" The man at the other side sighed loudly.
"I bring you some news. The Cardinals are reviewing your case again. However, in your Testimony, you stated that the Evil Child Chiron is too cunning, and no one can capture him except you."
Knight Sheyi nodded, "I did. That son of a bitch tricked me many times, but I finally understand how he thinks. I know! I know him now. Trust me master, I can..."
"Abel sent a report this morning. Apparently, he has Chiron."
Those words came as a shock to Knight Sheyi.
After all, he had boldly said that he was the only one that could capture Chiron.
Of course, this might have just been his obsession for the biggest failure of his life.
neither the less, this claim was so strong that he testified and proclaimed that all that would go against Chiron would fail, except of course it was him.
It therefore came as a shock to him to hear that Chiron had been captured.
Knight Sheyi frowned his brows, "how was he captured!?" He could not help but ask.
"That's the thing, he handed himself over in his frustration," The Magistri added, "You know, Evil children might have destructive destines, but they are still human too. After what you did to his arms, he probably got fed up with life."
Knight Sheyi took several steps back from the cell door.
He thought hard, as his already strained mind thought hard.
He couldn't help but flash back to the look in Chiron's eyes back then.
He remembered that even when he had destroyed both arms, Chiron had struggled with his teeth.
With the experience Knight Sheyi had with Chiron, he could tell that even if Chiron lost all his limbs, eyes, ears and his mouth, Chiron would still struggle against Fate.
Such was the kind of person that Chiron was.
Knight Sheyi turned to the Magistri with his blood shot eyes.
He Chuckled a bit, "you have been played!"
However, the Magistri raised a brow at those words. He sighed and shock his head, "honestly, I wonder why I still hold on to you, you are already a lost cause!"
However before he turned and walked away, Knight Sheyi turned to him, "if you don't release me now, the next time you see Abel, it might be too late!"
The Magistri took one last look at Knight Sheyi before he closed the peep hole and walked away, "he is already running mad," he muttered to himself.
Knight Sheyi went back to his corner. Continually, he muttered Chiron's name.
Although he looked mad, his eyes still had the focus and brilliance they always had.
"It won't be long now, I'll be coming for you!"
