My Beginning After the End Downfall

Hunt

Nico Sever

I was sitting in my room within Taegrin Caelum by myself, just thinking about everything, knowing that even with Virion Leywin dead, Grey was still out there, out in Alacrya somewhere, just waiting to attack us.

I don't know why Agrona isn't going after him, Grey was going to try something at some point. The last thing I heard was that he was a Professor at the Central Dominion Academy, which means he is close by.

I want to kill him.

The anger I have for him will never go away, he killed Cecilia, and I'll never be able to forgive him. I was going to take everything he loves away from him, like his little brother, but now, all I want is him dead at my feet.

"Knock. Knock. Knock." Someone was at my door, and sensing their aura, it wasn't Cecilia, but another Scythe. "Nico, I'm coming in." Melzri's voice could be heard from the outside, and before I could say anything, the door opened, and she came walking in wearing a black battle robe. "What? No greeting?"

"Melzri." I said as she came over, taking a seat across from me on the couch. "You shouldn't just barge into people's rooms; I could have killed you if I wanted." She crossed her legs, smirking at me as she did.

"You, killing me, hahaa, good one." She said jokingly, her aura was matching mine as the two of us just spoke. "Now, what might you be doing in here alone? You lost in thought?" She only ever came to talk to me when she wanted something, so there's a catch to this visit.

"You can say that." I told her, then went on. "What do you want, Melzri?" She looked at me with a smile, and I just rolled my eyes. "I know you want something; you don't just come here when you are bored."

"I don't, Nico." She chuckled a little, her eyes were looking at me, but it felt like they were somewhere else, thinking. "I wanted to see what you were up too, and possibly see if you wanted to spar on the roof."

"You don't want anything, ha, see, you want to spar." I shook my head. "I'll pass, Melzri, I have no need to spar right now." Her look didn't change, she didn't seem to care. "Is Viessa here as well?" The Scythes were all coming together for the Victoriad.

"Yes, she just got here this morning." She told me, and I nodded my head, wanting her to leave. "Draneeve is running Dicathen while she's here, let's get back to you, Nico, what were you thinking about before I showed up, maybe I can help you out."

"Tch." I made a noise, then spoke. "You don't want to help me, Melzri, you just want to torture me." She shook her head, and waved her hand, telling me to speak to her. "Fine, I was merely thinking about the man named Grey, or Arthur Leywin, the one who is here within Alacrya, working as a professor."

"Oh." She said, not seeming to care that much. "The so-called powerful Lance, the one who barely survived Cadell, what is it, three times." I nodded. "What about him? You want to be the one to kill him or something?"

"Yes." I exclaimed; it was like she was reading my mind. "I hate him, I just want him to suffer, and lately, all I can think about is killing him." I was staring into Melzri's eyes, she had a smile on her face for some reason, like she liked this side of me. "Agrona thinks we should just let him go, but I want him to die, Melzri."

"Then kill him." She told me, shrugging. "We could go now, or, better yet, where is he? What is he doing in Alacrya that worries you?" It appears as if she is willing to help me, I'll play along for now, she was into killing people, so it made sense.

"He is a professor." Her eyes widened. "At the Central Academy, so decently close. I want him dead, that is it, he deserves it, truly, I want to rip spine out, and make him beg me to kill him."
