# 3 :Play like God

The havoc bringer of Amir, he Bares many names, often called by the crowd as the devil in human skin, a madman, an evil sorcerer, The bringer of misery, the enemy of Oswald.

The nights of Amir officially named him as the Blue calamity, because of his stunning blue fire that he himself can only create, but personaly, or maybe to some extent to Cordelia, we just call him the nutjob, I mean who uses magic against the bringer of magic? Isn't it only self destruction? Atleast that's what Cordelia always says, and I can never argue with her, after all she's like a walking encyclopedia, she knows everything and is always right.

I looked at my sketchbook sketching the lady across me sitting on a chair, I'm in a giant sized wagon right now, being pulled by four big horses,

It was quite comfortable inside, although it did have some dirt on the floors or maybe dog poo? It was alright for a wagon, it also has many passengers inside aside from myself, there was an old man sleeping and another old man sleeping and another....

Old people sure like to sleep, well I can't blame them, I'm young and sleeping is like therapy for me, pure Bliss,

There was also a lady across me, she looked a little bit on her late 40s she had dirty blonde hair and green eyes that are quite similar to mine, although her's is more vibrant just like a ripe peach fruit while mine looks quite dull, like stepped on grass in the muddy ground during a rainy day, compared to her I look boring, not to mention my hair? It's an abomination! My hair color is atrocious, like my creator vomited on my head and called it a day, dark green seriously? If only I had a handsome face it would have been fine, but nope, I'm just average, I shouldn't worry about these things, I'm a man, beauty and desirability isn't really my main thought in life, I should sleep, I don't wanna be stressed out again.

And like that I slept in a bad mood while hugging my bag on my chest.

I got to the academy now, it was already evening, I got here about an hour earlier than expected, it was only a 3 hour ride, but still I'm so tired, even though I slept in most of the travel.

The grand master said on his letter that I should report tomorrow, so I was planning on skipping dinner and head straight to bed,

I walked pass the corridors of the academy, it was decorated in gold and magical roses that seems to be moving by itself somehow, being lit by the faint moonlight, there was no one in the corridor except for some passing knights guarding the place, the ceiling was painted with golden stars and behind it, a painting of the universe, blue and dark, unforgiving and unpredictable, yet beautiful,

There was also a water fountain in the yard and above it, a statue of the Great God Oswald, of course with his signature dark cloak covering his face and entire body.

I went upstairs, climbing the marble staircase until I reached the third floor where my room was situated, I opened the door using my magical aura, grabbing the door handle and using some little magic, it can only open to the assigned owner of the room.

As I got in I quickly threw my bag on a chair and threw myself on the bed, sleeping almost immediately

" I heard they were all wiped out yesterday!"

"Really? I feel bad for their families"

" They said the blue fire was so huge that it gobbled them up like roasted chicken"

" There was 30 knights sent on that mission, all of them were really gifted and powerful, personaly picked by the grand master, and yet they didn't even lay a single scratch on that bastard"

"Only 30 knights? They are overestimating themselves too much"

"those poor people, didn't they bring Tommy and Hannah with them? Did they....."

"Yeah, all of Them, dead"

"Jeez.......I even saw Hannah laughing happily with her friends right before she was dispatched, it's hard to believe it's the same day she'll die....."

"Also! I heard they're transferring the towns folk from the northern village"

"Here?"

"Not necessarily here but in the refuge home"

"God"

"What a world we live in....."

The people in the dining room, were chattering, crowded up on a single table,

I'm on a secluded corner of the room, I prefer to eat in peace, but I couldn't help but hear all the things they were saying,

30 knights? That's many people, and all of them are magicians, how powerful can that bastard get? Or maybe.....Ah no impossible,

I thought deeply as I ate my tomato sauce topped Pasta,

I scanned the room for awhile, looking for Cordelia, I wanted to tell her that I already came back but I was too tired to do so that night,

I looked left and right, she wasn't here.

Cordelia never skips breakfast, she always says it's the most important meal of the day, where could she have gone?

It was a cold winter's day in Amir, in a small village just up north, all the doors were closed all the houses sealed shut, the streets were baron, dark, with no one in sight, it was as if the snow has overtaken them to rot, to be transformed into a wasteland of frost and The ambience of what it was, it was now lifeless, quite.

A man in black, covered in white snow, stood on the clock tower, mesmerized by the highest view from above,

Everyone fled, they must have known he was coming, The man smiled,

It is a nice feeling to be expected, after All this was the village he grew up in, his home,

how nice of them to make themselves disappear, it would have been troubling for him to to get rid of them one by one.

Hearing the wind howl once more, the man glided down the tower and into the center of the village, landing on the ground with a rather harsh force,

he grimaced as he helped his hands up, as if he was offering a hug to somebody,

"Guess who's home"

His voice ecoed through the baron land that was once a thriving village,

Only the cold wind answered him, giving him chills down his spine.

At that moment, The man felt an undescribable feeling,

He did this,

He made it all happen,
