Silence and the scent of blood fill the air. For the first time in centuries, the throne hall is covered from ceiling to floor with the scars of battle, and the obsidian pillars forming the castle are etched with marks where the Hero's divine power and the Demon Lord's darkness collided. Dust and remnants of magical energy that have yet to settle float in the air like a galaxy.
In the center, at the foot of the stairs leading to the throne, lies the mortal once called the 'Hero.' His armor is shattered, and the holy sword he once held lies in two pieces on the cold floor. The last words he squeezed out were a 'request' in a form stranger than a curse or a plea.
"I would rather... in your hands..."
That was the end. The man who was the hope of an era breathed his last at the Demon Lord's feet.
"............"
Amon indifferently wiped a splash of the enemy's blood from his cheek with a finger that hadn't a single drop of his own on it. It was a heat of struggle he hadn't felt in a long time during his thousands of years of tedious life. His heart throbbed slightly, but the thrill of victory was short-lived. No emotion surfaced in his reddish-gold eyes as he looked down at his rival's corpse. Just another challenger returned to dust.
...Yes, that's how it should have ended. If not for that ridiculous last request.
Amon's gaze turned toward a corner of the hall the Hero had pointed to, into the shadow of a massive pillar. There lay a small swaddle made of fabric similar to the cloak the Hero had been wearing. He felt a faint but unmistakable presence of life.
If he put his mind to it, turning that swaddle into dust would be easier than breathing. The rival's bloodline, a being that might become the seed of calamity. Eliminating it is the most rational and fitting judgment. But... for some reason, Amon could not move his feet. That man's final look. The eyes filled with despair, resignation, and even a strange sense of relief would not leave his mind.
