Setting
He held his head for a moment, shaking him. He remember what War's father said after the incident. On how much he was grateful for him to take the burden. What War doesn't know is that it wasn't his father's choice, but the ancient ones' choice. They took War first, but Veirnj overheard their discussion and said that they shouldn't. He said that they should take him. He still don't know why they decided to do so, but he knew that they made the right choice. War had so much to live for. And what does he have? Nothing. Wandering as the wanderer. A renegade of the realm of Alliora. They say his role is to even out the two of them - the Rideons and the Serions - but with Lacy now, he felt useless.
He would then smile. Now he understood what his role was. Well, the illusion he made to himself. He has to make the war happen, but not between the two kind of people. No, he needed to make them unified to battle against him. What was Lacy's role in there? He knew that she is the most important piece of the puzzle for he felt that she has the power to purificate the world. He looked over at the medallion and smirked a bit. "I'm sorry War, Lacy... everyone... but I have to turn my back on my own kind..." He closed his grip which made the medallion crack and he threw it out on the field where War and Lacy was and ran away as quick as he could. He heard the corruption's voice in his head again.
"What are you doing? Didn't you say you don't want to kill War thus?"
"I don't want to kill War, but it has been very clear that we are destined to be enemies. And thus, I need to forget about myself and accept my role as the antagonist of the story." He responded with a smirk
"Isn't going against what Axen told you? To never accept the corruption?" The dragon asked.
"Remind me that I killed him." He said in both sadness and happiness.
"Well, you know it was my fault." the dragon corrected him.
"I would even if you weren't in me. You were only giving me the power to do so." Veirnj said seriously afterward.
For a moment, the dragon said nothing, but a few seconds later, the corruption said: "Then, let me guide you. Remember the edge of the realm? Go there. They are waiting for you." Veirnj smirked, but what he didn't know is that he is leaving a huge trail of corrupted aura behind him.
"Being the wanderer, you sure look weak."
"Get out of my way..." Veirnj said, forming fists with his hands. The soldier only laughed more.
"What are you going to do? Fight me?"
"I said," Veirnj continued, lifting his hand up in the air as he caught the soldier in shadows. He suddenly smirked. "No, actually, you're going to distract someone for me."
The soldier squirmed. "I will never comply, you monster."
Veirnj only snickered. "Oh?" He suddenly fill the soldier with corruption, transforming him into an hideous monster. "Well then, who is the monster now? hmm?" He let the now monster out of his grip. "You will go and try to stop War to get in my way, okay? If you do good, I let you have something special." The monster nodded, rapidly running off to get in War's way. Veirnj only smirked, shaking his head. "Dear me, he will fail. Oh well." He continued to run off, only looking ahead.
"Now what?" He asked to the dragon.
"Just step forward." Veirnj did so, but instead of falling, he was pushed back by some kind of force. The dragon growled a bit. "What you have done to that medallion?"
"I... um, threw it?" he responded a bit uncertain. He suddenly felt like if he was hit on the head.
"You fool! It is a gateway to the corrupted realm of Alliora! Got get it back!" The dragon seemed angry. Veirnj shook his head.
"Fine fine, whatever you said." He started to run back to where he first saw them, bitting his bottom lips. 'Hope they got away...' he thought to himself.
