Emerald kept walking fighting the forest for a place to set his foot. An ancient ruins popped in the dense forest. The sunlight got thinner and thinner as he advanced . He took a enlightenment as he walked . He looked for a tall tree and climbed as much as he can he took a hold on his grip and turned around to see how much he passed. The sight was frustrating. The castle seemed like a house from that far. He realized how much he has come.

He got down and kept walking through the ruins. He walked slower and slower as he got dipped in the scenery. Suddenly out of the blue he got cut on his left shoulder. He applied pressure on it with his hand. He screamed as loud as he could, getting a cut like this without even knowing, something is not right. The tracks started to turn red as his blood started flow. He looked around him biting his tongue in pain, the tears got shallow as the sweat swallowed it. For a moment he took a breath, closed his eyes.

Without thinking anything, he got up and started running in to the gap he found inside the rumbles. He fell in to stairs, rolled over until he reached a pitch dark room. His leg started hurting he thought it was the wound he got as he fell from the stairs, but as he reached out to the wound he realised it isn't a normal wound, he been slashed again , but no pain. "You're a dog, you should have stayed back kido" a guy with a bloody hand popped up in front of him. The lights in the room started to lit all by itself . "Who are you, what do you want from me , what's there even worth killing me " emerald shouted at them. "Who, mmmm , we are nobody, we just do what we are told, we are loyal to our master, it doesn't matter who we are, what matters is how you gonna die" the second guy standing beside him said. " Well for a little relief , we are vampires, you don't need to be ashamed of being weak, it's in your nature brat, now then let's play some games " they started to torture him nice and easy as he crawled through the mud , the blood put a trail of his existence in there

(Outside the place in town)

Eva entered a cafe . A swarm of girls covered her and put her up in the center. All the questions and commotions were just to know how was the human boy is like. Eva started her essay on emerald "he were kind when I met him first time, so kind, he patted my head and took me in his hand and rubbed my cheek over his" .

Emerald screaming in pain, his left hand is laying down like a fresh cut chicken leg .

"He was flattered when he found out it was me , but he let me in lords room though " . Every got a big wide face just from hearing it . Stepping in Genna's room is not a tale someone could believe. " I even booked a dinner with him tonight, and he gladly accepted it, to the book, he see Genna as a sister, nothing more" . "Treat on me brown Chan, don't miss the chance " the girls cheered her up.

Emerald dragged himself to a stone which is in the room , the dust on it started to move, the grave had a name but it wasn't that much clear, the two guys got close in to finish him off . Emerald looked helpless,

he just closed his eyes and left everything to fate .

A plain, so grassy that it is the only thing visible if you wake up in it . Emerald got up, he checked, he Don't have an arm and a leg ,but he can walk, he kept walking through the dense grass, slowly it started to fade it became a white plain, where ever you look , the only thing that your eye can define is the colour white . Suddenly he saw a man standing afar, he evaded towards him, when he got close , that man turned over and asked "does it hurt to end everything before you could even start?" . Emerald kept his head low . " I guess it do , well, it doesn't matter, after all it's a necessity you need to overcome " . "Who are you, and where I'm I" . " You're in your heart, or you could say, you're in the past, what's matter is do you want to live, or end it here" . "I..., want... , I want to live " . " Then it's decided, you'll live and face the original family's brat, make sure to win, or I will need to interfere, when you win you'll learn who you're and why where you mercilessly killed " . "Wait , what... , are you saying I'm dead " . "Yes you're " . Emerald fell on his knees and murmured " why me , i should have died back then " . " It's no use talking to yourself, come make a binding with me " . " I can't, I'm dead and I already done one " . "Just hold my hand " . Emerald Took his hand . After some seconds, he asked emerald to stand up, he did so. " it's done, from now on , I will be your will and thought, as you're my flesh and blood " . "What's that supposed to mean " . "Simply put , you're not alone, I will help you to protect what matters you the most, so do you " . Emerald shook his hand and started to walk off. " Not quite right for you to leave so soon, i should show you something " . Even without thinking or doing anything, Emerald was at his left side accompanying him .

The scenery changed a beautiful garden, some of the parts reminded emerald off the ruins he saw before , in the far sight the castle, in the garden a man is sitting under a tree, in his lap a beautiful lady laying down her head, as he patted her head she asked him something " what if you can make the whole world a better place, if you have it" . The man looked at Emerald and said "this is were everything started to go wrong" he took a deep breath and said "you might have a question who are they , the guy and his wife are the first empires zinan and lascrea, as for me I'm the man who is sitting under the tree"
