Albert Steins was a man with a great mind as well as he was well grounded in historical events. He had learned to remain open-minded in his years as a researcher for the world's greatest scientific laboratory in the previous world.
He dabbled in all sorts of theories that appeared in different types of books including fantasy books .
His creation of Steins city was evidence to his passion for creativity. The city was built in a historical setting, it held the vibe of ancient Western citys made out of stone, bricks and marbles.
And like every city in every fantasy, he had his own brilliant Castle mounted in the very centre of the gigantic city.
He named his castle 'Tower of beginning '
It was a massive tower that could be seen from all directions of the city and could also count as a world wonder in the present world.
'sigh'. Todd turned his gaze away from the massive tower , he shook his head and walked further away from the massive gates of the Tower.
"You are an ambitious man, I just hope you know your limits and when to quit." he muttered silently with a nostalgic look on his face.
The city could be seen to be as lively as always, as if the deaths of over fifty advanced militants meant nothing.
"Indeed life goes on".
He crossed into an alley and disappeared into the shadows.
A few moments later he was standing in front of an iron door.
He stood for some moments then gave a light knock on it.
Knock...knock...knock
With that he took a few steps back and waited.
A moment later, a kid with dark curls and dark circles under his eyes opened the door and smiled at Todd.
"Come on in, the Captain is waiting".
Todd looked at the kid who just opened for him and nodded.
His gaze turned wary, he immediately raised his guard a notch.
"Oh c'mon, do I look that scary?"
"Yes" Todd replied without hesitation.
"My,my.." The kid chuckled lightly with his two small hands over his lips.
"I'm only ten you know" he added with a goofy smile on his face.
Todd looked at him with an ugly expression and chose to keep silent, he wasn't tired of his life yet because he knew within himself that his next reply would have cost him , though he wasn't sure what it would cost.
They walked through a few turns of passages and descended a few stairways till they arrived at a massive double door.
He couldn't help but wonder how they had managed to move such a massive thing into an underground building.
"Go ahead, I'll wait here." The kid helped Todd push the doors open before he standing to the side.
Todd didn't look back or reply and stepped directly into the room or was it a hall?
He couldn't tell at the moment because a massive pressure descended on him.
He felt his legs go soft, his breathing hurried, his heart pounded violently within his ribs, his lungs tightened, he even thought for a moment that a sharp object was placed at his throat.
He fell flat on the rug covered floor while furiously gasping for air.
"Go back and tell Steins that we lost him."
A soft voice reached his ears. It was so calm and soothing that it felt eerie.
Todd's brain had stopped working at this moment because the degree of terror he felt at the moment was beyond what he felt watching Ragnar go on a killing spree.
"Ah captain.." the voice of the kid that led Todd to the place sounded , he hopped over to Todd's body that laid on the floor with his eyes rolled into the back of his head.
"I think you killed him" The kid pointed.
"Huh??" This time the calm voice sounded a bit more childish instead of soft and soothing as it sounded before.
"He died just from that?" Another teenager or a boy that looked like a teenager appeared.
He had the typical Western noble look. Blonde hair, blue eyes, with elegance that seemed almost regal.
He squatted beside Todd's body, lifted Todd's head and dropped it and repeated the same action a few more times.
Veins could be seen bulging on the other kid's head.
"Captain what are you doing?"
He asked in a low voice.
"Making sure he's really dead" The captain replied with a serious expression.
The other kid's eyes twitched for a few moments before he took a deep breath and exhaled heavily.
"I'll be in my room, call me when you are done." With that he turned and started walking away.
"Ahh, Aiden please wait, how are we going to explain this to Steins?." The captain asked again nervously, his previous show of power now gone completely leaving behind a pitiful teenager who just committed a crime, afraid that his daddy would spank him if he found out.
Aiden stopped walking, veins kept bulging on his head, his teeth grinding against each other with his eyes almost bloodshot.
He turned slowly again giving the captain a death glare.
With a stomp he was already upon the Captain.
"Ahh..." The captain tried to scurry away but Aiden clung to his shirt, lifting him slightly while pushing his forehead against the captain's.
"You dimwit, incompetent nincompoop, why didn't you think of that before you killed him you idiot! Where is all that 'captain aura' huh? You are asking me, what do you want to hear you dip shit!! Did you ask me before you kill him??ANSWER ME!!!"
"Uhmmm....uhmmm..." The captain recoiled with each word and scratches his head.
"I'm sorry, Aiden can you please help me handle this?" He pleased with the best puppy eyes he could muster at the moment.
"You ..you!...Ahh...what am I gonna do with you?" Aiden unhanded him and stomped before turning around , he left the next moment without even looking back.
"Whew ....thank goodness, he didn't break anything this time"
The captain dusted his coat and straighten his collar.
His gaze shifted to the body on the floor.
"Gulp....sluuurrrp"
Those sounds echoed through the hall and if one looked at the captain now, a trail of saliva could be seen dripping from the edges of his mouth.
"I'm sorry Aiden, but I was too hungry."
With that, he open his mouth, it kept enlarging till the edges reached his ears.
Rows of razor sharp shark-like teeth revealed themselves, with a swift descent , Todd's head was gone.
"Crunch,crunch ,Mmmm,crunch...shoo..nyaishi..crunch.."
He chewed away with a dreamy look on his face. In less than thirty breaths, the whole body was gone with not a single drop of blood left behind.
The captain could be seen walking back to his sofa with a satisfied smile on his face.
" Now I can think properly, hmmm, so what do I do with the ladies?"
He placed his hand on his chin as though in contemplation.
"They're really getting bolder." He smiled sweetly. "But that makes me curious, what creature was enough to draw that slut's attention". His grin grew wider.
"I must get him for myself, I wonder how he'd taste...slurrrpp"
His tongue wiped around his lips sending drops of saliva to different directions in a mess.
