Omnipotence: The Kin Slayer [ Chapter 2 ]

Part 6: In The Capital

  Azral left and gone from the small kingdom of Briar, and headed to a vast city, the Capital of Viel'moure. The vast city, from a distance, seemed like paradise. Its tall towers blocking the sun, its corona shimmering from behind the structures. Griffins tamed by man, flying from above. But great grief and agony shrouds the city.

Azral walked under the city's shadow, following the path  to its entrance. Azral walked pass the gate with guards watching over him as they stand upon their watchtowers. Deep within the city, he would hear nothing but yelling and bargain, 

"Come get your spices!" 

"Jewelry! Come and see my most precious jewelries!"

 "Fish! Get your fish!" 

Crime was everywhere.. And it would reek as the market's rancid aroma. Beggars from within the alley, asking for money. Thieves, lurking. Malnourished children, sleeping on the streets with flies flying around them 'till they're nothing but a cold and lifeless body.  Law and justice upon the capital was none but a deceit. Sheer brutality and cruelty showered upon the citizens. 

The sound of the blade striking one's flesh would be heard despite the cry for mercy. Rage would only build up within the heart of the blind berserker. Azral kept on walking. But in the midst of it, he already thought of a plan.. To eradicate the root of such disgrace and convince all to stand and revolt.

Azral would reside in an inn, run by dwarves. And there, he waited for nightfall to arrive.
