Another World

Chapter 7- Broken

I lie on the grass after my encounter with sai...and realised that I was weak..weak would even be an extreme understatement. I stand and walk in the direction that I believe leads to a town. After 20 minutes of walking I find an inn and pay for a weeks stay. I get lunch from the manager and eat, after that I remove everything except my boxers and go to sleep for a few hours.
    ***
I wake up due to being disturbed but my body feels heavy and slow '...?'. Im in a lavish castle and all my eyes can see are crimson. 'Shit'. I am surrounded by crimson soldiers, their armour is of a higher grade and they have a far more powerful aura than the captain I fought. A woman sat on a large, delicately carved throne. She was extremely beautiful but her aura was completely overwhelming, I felt strong killing intent coming from her and knew I was screwed. She must be their overlord, she was in a crimson dress that had a slit on her right side. Her figure blurred and I saw her right in front of me standing a look of contempt and hatred in her eyes. She said "you killed my subordinates so I should actually kill you, but I'll leave you as an example to show others what will happen if they try the same thing you have done'. I saw a pale flash and heard a crack not realising it was my skull until I fell to the floor screeching grabbing my head as if it could ease the agony I was feeling, blood streams out of my mouth, ears and nose. I'm grabbed by 2 of her personal guard and forced to stand, barely. She looks me in the eyes then she punches my stomach, her fist entering my flesh and I hear something burst..most likely some organs. They keep me in position so I don't bend over to ease the pain as I keep screaming. She punches me again in the chest and I hear multiple cracks, blood gushes out of my mouth and stains her face and chest. She smiles at me then the torture continues.

A handsome mage with white hair walks in the town, wearing a suit just casually strolling down the street, turning a corner he finds a mutilated bloody body the knees and elbows bent backward the rest of the body is grotesque, brutally injured internally and externally. The man walks towards what he believes to be a corpse however upon closer inspection realises its a young boy whose still alive, moaning softly.
Aradon smiles seeing a student candidate.

1 month later the crimson empress smiles on her throne thinking that by now the brat would be long dead, a messenger comes forth and kneels with a knee giving the empress information about jays whereabouts. Her face changes from a smile, to a frown to one of pure anger, her features changed and she slams her fists on the arms of her throne. 'Damn that blasted wizard...with his skills and training methods jay will be alive and in near perfect condition..he'll also become far stronger than he is now' she thinks, unnerved she sends her most capable personal guard to attempt to kill them both.
   ***
I stand on a high building, the purple scarf that's wrapped around the lower half of my face streams behind me as the wind blows. I still wear the shinobi shozoku. After some rummaging I reacquired it and some upgrades had been made.
After I was tortured and left to die Aradon found me and healed me completely.

(FLASHBACK)
I jerk up violently from the bed wondering why I wasn't still in agony. A man with stark white hair sits on a chair observing me, I attempt to stand and face him..it fails as I can't move my legs properly. He says 'my name is aradon, I saw you on the street dying and I carried you in and healed your wounds'. He is silent for a few seconds before saying 'although 95% of your aura had to be used as the damage done to your body was insane..all the bones fractured, organs ruptured, muscles torn, severe blood loss that sort of thing'. I remember what happened. I look at him straight in the eye and release my killing intent and say in a low voice 'I will kill her'. He replies 'you'll have to rest first, eat and regain your strength...whats left of it anyway' he laughs at that and walks out of the room. 'Dick' I think to myself. I look around and see a tray, it had toast bacon and some sausages, it also had a cup and a carton of milk and a note attached to the carton. It said 'to increase your height midget'. I crumple the paper in my right fist and my right eye twitches as I wolf down the food sating my hunger.
