Breaking Point

Warnings: Blood

Bryan's POV:

I left the room leaving him shivering in his own pool of blood and hung the whip back up on the wall. "Take him back to his cell," I said, the guards bowed and followed my orders. I left the room and went back upstairs to my house. I was about to open the doors to the basement when I heard one of the guards. "Your majesty, do you wish us to accompany you?" I thought about it for a bit. "That's actually not a bad idea. Molten was here the other night and the traps I set up with my magic didn't seem to work. So yes, you may accompany me. However, make sure you stay hidden until nightfall, I am not sure of any visitors that may come." He bowed, "Of course your majesty." He turned to go gather the other guards that weren't watching the prisoners. I turned and opened the doors waiting for the guards to come so I could close the door and cover it again.

They all came and I closed the doors, covering it with barrels to hide the door. I walked upstairs and stopped at the top to look at the ceiling, looking for Molten. Once I was sure he was nowhere to be seen I said, "You may come upstairs now." I walked over to the kitchen to fix myself some food and changed into my disguise just in case. Once the guards saw what I was doing they asked, "Do you wish for us to prepare you your super?" I looked towards him and saw two other guards behind him. "That won't be necessary, I am already done making the food. Please, take a seat." I gestured towards the table and they sat down.

After eating I told them that I needed to go to work. "Pardon me if this comes off as rude, however, don't you have servants to do your work for you?" One of the guards asked me. "It's not labor, so I ask you this, do one of you wish to come with me? If so, then you will need me to disguise you. Here there is no royalty, so people will look at you questioningly." I said, one bowed and said, "I will accept the offer, your majesty."

Lefty's POV:

I was talking with Molten when I heard the doors open and saw Bryan walk in with someone. "Hey, Bryan!" I said, walking over while waving towards Bryan and the other guy. "Who's this?" I asked, looking at his friend. He had blond hair, green eyes, and was wearing a navy blue jacket with torn jeans and black converse. He was also surprisingly tough-looking and looked as if he had been in a few fights considering the bandages on his arms and around his leg that you could see through one of the tears. 

"This is my friend Cory. Cory this is Lefty and coming behind him is Molten Freddy but just call him Molten." Bryan said, Cory nodded and held out his hand, "It's a pleasure to meet you."  He said as I shook his hand then reaching over to shake Molten's hand, with Molten took in suspicion. After that Cory turned to Bryan and whispered something in his ear and Bryan nodded, turning to me and Molten he said, "Me and Cory are gonna go talk for a minute we'll be back in a little bit." He turned and he and Cory went to his office. 

I turned to Molten and he turned to me, "I'm gonna go in the vents and listen in, you wanna come?" He asked to which I nodded, "Something doesn't sit right with that Cory guy." I said, Molten nodded and we went into the vents. We went through the vents until we found the vent door in Bryan's office, we stopped and listened in.

Bryan's POV:

I led Cory to my office, he opened the door and I stepped in Cory closing it and locking it behind us. "Your majesty, if I may ask, is that the Molten you said was in your house?" He asked, I turned to him and said, "That's correct, I feel he may be pushing it in terms of finding out what I'm doing. Therefore I want you and that rest of the guards to patrol my land during nightfall." He bowed and said, "Of course your majesty, I will inform the others once we return." "Good, now come we have a portal to mess with. After all, we don't want to risk the chance of Molten setting it to Olympus do we?" He stood and opened the door closing it behind us. 

Molten's POV: 

I was very confused yet intrigued. Olympus you say? Once Bryan and Cory were gone I opened the vent door and jumped down into Bryan's office with Lefty following behind me. Lefty looked at with confusion, "What does he mean he thinks you pushing it" Lefty asked, I looked away, then I noticed something on Bryan's desk. I walked over and picked it up it was a drawing, it was a drawing of a Raven being left in the rain while the other animals either walked away or hurt him. Lefty saw the picture and said, "I didn't know Bryan liked to draw!" He took the sketchbook from my hand and looked at the pictures. The first picture in the sketchbook showed a beautiful little white bird flying with the other animals and having a fun time. Lefty awed at the picture and turned to the next page. The next picture wasn't so happy if it showed other animals that were all different from the others picking on the little white bird. Lefty looked at the picture with sadness. "Why would they pick on the little bird like that?" He asked looking towards me and then said, "Why would Bryan draw something like this?" I shook my head and said, "Turn the page, maybe this is a story?" Lefty nodded and turned the page. It showed the other animals that were hurting the little bird telling the bird's friends something about the bird. The next page showed the little bird flying into the forest, the next of the bird meeting a shadow-like very of himself the eyes glowing red.

Then the next picture was the same as the first the only difference is that animals walking away, were standing there and watching as the other animals hurt him, and the biggest difference was that the bird was still white. We turned the page and it was the same picture as before. The raven being hurt while his past friends walked away and acted as if nothing was happening. But this time I saw something that I didn't see before. I looked closely at the raven's eyes which stood out more than the rest of the detailed picture. I looked at his eyes and saw something that was very familiar to me. The looked of hate and vengeance was in that raven eyes and that's when I noticed something else. 

The shadow was coming out of the raven...
