And then and in a moment, the bearded man warped him into a new place: the sky below his feet became grass, the void all around him into an uncountable trees and above the morning sky with its clearness became cloudy dark one,after a while of scanning the place with his eyes, he realized that he was able to see daruis laying on the ground behind a tree drinking wine savagely like he didn't drink it before. As the voice said: the world had betrayed him the day he was born. Crysis after crysis. Until he was finished. Consumed by sorrow. Nothing has left for him but his cunning bottle of his wine that brings out the fold of his pain in his heart without him realizing it...

  And from the dark of this forest came two men wearing iron from their foot fingers until their head, holding swords on their chest and with another nomination: guards.

  They saw this poor man in that situation and without even thinking, they started getting on his nerves like a spike in a throat.

  - Guard: hello little fella, it's a little late to be here, would you mind coming with us and telling us about your fun night down here, the curiosity is killing us already.

  - Darius: go away.

  - Guard: hey, come on, don't be a count, we're dying to hear about it please, plus, all people in the station are in love with drunks and faggots like you, we have a place there filled with them called the prison, don't you want to pay a visit.

  - Darius: can a man have a drink peacefully, please?

  - Guards: is there something wrong with your ears? Are you deaf? You're under arrest, for Ignis sake, you're making me sick, no wonder you're drinking here alone and crying like a little bitch.

  After that the voice said: what a nature the human have, people have the attitude of showing their strength to other people mostly by bullying the opponent, this is some kind of seeking attention so the man can feel important inside a group of people. Under the mask of civilization the humans wear, there is an animalistic form and rules the people are guided with. The one individual gains respect in a society by showing his importance: with wealth, with knowledge, with humor and mostly with physical power. And with that this individual can climb the ladder of ruling the others after all, what you'll gain by respect is ruling...

  Then Darius starts laughing loudly, like a devil's laughing at humans in hell. the guards then felt so strange in a way that they felt guilty for Their involvement with a madman but The anger was always there, in their faces and then they said:

  - Guards: is this funny?

  - Darius: don't you get sick of doing things like that, I mean don't you have work to do? Really, that's so pathetic, you're supposed to protect people, steelford valley full of bandits, Moriarty's gang all over this city but you scums are here, itching my balls. Or even helping them, I saw you two on a carriage full of corpses, why? You wanted to feed monsters? Does the gang got sick of these people so they sent their dogs to clean the scene? What a big heart you two have.

  And he spitted on their legs but with a serious face and without even saying a single word, they took their weapons and got ready to kill this drunk. waving their swords stupidly like a blind fools thinking it's enough to kill someone like Darius but what they never realized that this pathetic style never worked against him, he dodged the first attack easily and He slapped him squarely on the chin and punch him on his face, took the scabbard From his waist and kicked him to his friend to fall on the ground fainted, the other started to get worrier, he started calculating every move he does but it's time for daruis to get offensive with the scabbard in his hands: unrelenting attack like a mad beast to all the places on his body and the other was guarding it's fast and strong attack barely until he's finally got tired and with a strong kick on his leg, he fell on the ground and he couldn't even get a breath before a strong scabbard attack fell on his face. And then the fight was over and it was time for daruis to pack his things and go home but before that some of them said:

  - Guards: who are you ?

  - Darius: I’m not interested in introducing myself to idiots: fucking pigs.

  Then he disappears in the dark of the forest.

  Finally he reaches the izirum’s gate the capital of the great kingdom ignisia as the name of the great king and the protector of the realm, their god ignis. In the gate there is signs that warns people of the forest like stay far or warning monsters ahead something like that but Darrius used to be a monster hunter in the past so he’s not afraid or he doesn’t really care but now it’s already to late so he should go home…

  The city was a prodigy of architecture: Stone buildings whose roofs are painted red, with iron lighting columns from which lanterns containing bright yellow stones hang. These houses were organized into rows and rows, areas and areas, to the point that you could discover a person's position in this great society by knowing where he lives. let me make this simple for you: the city has been built on a mountain. On its top, we can see the great temple that holds the statues of the mighty god Ignis and his family and near it, there was the great palace of the royal family setting a good example of the equality between both the Politics and religion in this kingdom. And when we get down we'll see both the royal guards area below the great palace on the left and the monk area on the right below the great temple and below them The neighborhood of the nobles, barons and wealthy people and below it that's where we can found the The hardworking way of the people. Under this awesome order of society, it's obvious to people that they can determine this rough and racist and extremist pyramid Who determines the value of people from position and wealth. The great man said about this diversity between men is that it symbolizes the brutal face of civilization, the face of the greedy man that sells his soul to climb this pyramid in a way that he'll become empty on the inside as soon as he reaches his limit and the face of the jealous people who see this unrelenting advancement trying to hinder him. There when the man becomes afraid of who is above him and disgust of who is below him, a pyramid of unstoppable conflict that never stops even inside the house or the family...

  The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

  Walking on the stone road, he finally reached his house at the royal guard area, where he was able to hear the loud laughs of his brother sharing it with his companions but as soon as he got into the house, it was all vanished and only the sharp looks like knives remained, daruis didn't stopped or even turned his face, he quickly got upstairs to his dusty and disgusting room to get some sleep.

  Early in the morning, he got up hardly because of last night and went to the kitchen downstairs when he went to its yard. There was a lot of wood right there, a wood that only grow on the heart of vielhym: a city in the middle of the kingdoms area. They call it: "god's flame wood" for its color that was close to the fire and it had a crimson red color when they burn it. It was sacred and used to light a fire to pray on or to sculpture religious signs. Usually, the penitent ones from their sins are doing such things, they were sculpting these statues and then give it to the great church hoping for some god's forgiveness as well as some few coins for their massive amount of statues made by them: it's obviously a scam but the fallen ones, that's what sinners called in this kingdom, may find some difficulty in finding a job, even the dirty ones.

  And then while the invader is watching him: The bearded one said that he consider the religion as an ultimate force Because it is rooted in people's souls Under this principle, religion can strengthen a person or a group and weaken others, it can revive and kill, and it can make people into kings, or even gods, and it can degrade others so that they become like crows or demons. Compared with the power of law, we can say that religion completes it: the guilty can run from the force of law and if he couldn't he can resist it Or he bears it, unlike religion, which follows the sinful believer like a shadow, cutting off his soul and gnawing at his thinking until it destroys him internally. Both religion and law are great parts of a great society, they are like two columns of a building but what happens when some of them or both are taller than the others? Civilization must balance these pillars to ensure its continuity and greatness, unlike this kingdom, or even the rest of the kingdoms...

  Inside all this talking, the invader Notice that Darius has already started working and has become so engrossed in it after a while that it seems as if the work has eaten away at his soul. He became like a hollow: his hands were moving without his control, he stood like that in hours and sculpted a lot of statues until he did something wrong in one of them and that hollowness inside him became filled with anger, pain and a lot of other bad feelings, all mixed to be a fuel to his aggressive actions afterwards: he started throwing statues to all over the yard, and took his axe to smash some with a lot of kicking here and there and after some minutes, he fell on the ground and started crying and yelling until his eyes and throat dried up and fell a sleep. Such a painful image, really. Daruis really hated what he was doing, it was like a cage for his soul with no ability to express his feelings but why? Because no one would even listen, he wasn't like that at all before, his brother wouldn't even dare to stare at him like that, such a hell he was living on...

  After hours, he woke up at the dawn of the sun and took with him his leather bottle of wine and went outside the kitchen.

  On his way to get out and go to the forest, he saw his father in front of the crimson flame praying and he stopped in his place and kept staring at him with pitiful eyes which his father bought attention to it

  and with a low voice he said:

  - Father: come pray with me, son! and may you find your place with the god, he always helps the weak.

  - Darius: well, I’m screwed now, why doesn’t help me or he can’t because he never exists

  - Father: excuse me!

  - Darius: yes, you hear me because, if he truly was, he wouldn’t let his follower live like a pig, if he does exist.

  - Father: watch your mouth boy!

  - Darius: why? Because I’m right, yes, I know. I’m sick of drinking in the forest alone because no bar won’t let me in, I’m sick of being bullied by dumb people, I’m sick of being tarnished by people because I’m a fallen one, I’m sick of being alone, of being lonely, all I wish for is a peaceful life but you all keep disturbing it .

  - Father: you deserve it.

  - Darius: what did you say?

  - Father: what do you want after what you did? Do you want the gods to forgive you?

  - Darius: I was trying to save your damn son.

  - Father: watch your mouth, kid.

  - Darius: why? He’s a damn ungrateful one, after what I did to him, for god sake, I destroyed my whole life so he can keep breathing in this damn world and that’s how you two reward me?

  - Father: same lie as always, don’t you get sick of telling the same lie every day because actually I am!

  - Darius: yes, I’m afraid that I am! But what I should do, it’s the truth.

  - Father: if you stop lying and accept your sin and begin to actually believe in god maybe your life will get better, maybe they will forgive you.

  - Darius: you know what? screw you and screw your gods, I’m sick of you all.

  - Father: get the hell out of my house and never come back again you heretic scum.

  - Darius: no need to, old man.

  And he went deep inside the house and got out with his bottle, axe, sculpting knife and a sack full of his things.

  -daruis: I'm sick of it, I'm sick of it all god damn it. Why do they hate me? why do people hate me? Why do this fucking world hate me? All I have done was save some ungrateful scums. You know what? I don't need them, I don't need their pity nor their world so screw you all scums, and especially screw you world? From now on I shall be the one who leads his destiny, I'll be my leader, I'll live my remaining years happily Against your will, see me, bear witness all my new life, I'll laugh at your faces like you're all nothing, I shall be the one who's going to laugh at the end...

  And from now on daruis started his journey through the unknown, this is the rise of the fallen one.

  -The great one: pathetic!....
