1 Chapter 1- Suffering and Wrath (1/2)
Within the Fantasia continent there are many powerful families with elemental bloodlines, from the five main elements fire, water, earth, wind and nature to less known elements such as poison and death qi. The most powerful families are those with the bloodline of the five main elements. Each of the main elemental families rule a section of the fantasia continent where they suppress the minor bloodlines with their all encompassing might.
Shi Yan was from a declining noble family in the Earth kingdom with the special bloodline of time. The family was once one of the most powerful families in the kingdom until calamity struck and wiped out their most powerful elders and all their inheritance and fighting techniques. They were only left with the techniques to awaken their bloodline to the first level.
The family was in dire straits because only a few persons have been able to awaken their bloodline over the past 500 years. To escape the total destruction of the family the present elders decided to enter into a marriage agreement between themselves and another declining noble family with the bloodline of space. This allowed them to have a few descendants with a weak version of the space time ability.
These descendants were not able to use their abilities for attacking or defending, they were only able to use it to make simple storage rings and to preserve food. The families' weakness caused them to be made into slaves by the royal family. They were forced to create storage rings for the royal family and treated as nothing more than animals meant to be pushed around.
Completed storage rings were usually collected by the imperial guards or one of the princes when they were in town 'secretly' visiting brothels or gambling. This just so happened to be one of the days that the crown prince of the kingdom was in town so he decided to pick up the shipment of storage rings and the whole clan was gathered at the gates to welcome him.
The crown prince of the kingdom Livia was a person notorious for his play boy ways he was known to have destroyed the lives of many young girls around the kingdom and had a bad reputation among the people of his kingdom and well today just happened to be the day that he was searching for a new plaything.
After a while of waiting a luxuriously decorated carriage which was being pulled by golden horses appeared in front of the clan gate and a handsome young man dressed in golden robes walked down from the carriage.
”We greet the crown prince”
Voices came from hundreds of clan members in neat rows kneeling before the crown prince. Their voices reverberated throughout the courtyard.
”I have no time to waste quickly bring out the shipment”
”As you command crown prince”
As the clan head who was Shi Yan's grandfather bowed and started ordering the other clansmen to bring the shipment, the crown prince who was looking around happened to catch sight of a beautiful maiden who was none other than Shi Yan's younger sister. She was a beautiful young girl with luscious lips, long black hair, a petite figure and eyes that sparkled like stars in the night, a maiden that could truly cause the downfall of an empire.
As soon as he saw this beautiful specimen the crown prince instantly decided that she would be his new plaything for the month.
”Whose daughter is this, I would like to give her the honor of warming my bed for a month, clean her up and bring her to my manor this instant.”
Shi Yan and all the other clan members were instantly enraged, this was the granddaughter of their clan head a person they looked up to and the crown prince dared to be this disrespectful to her.
The clan head quickly calmed down the other members of the family.
”I am sorry your highness but my granddaughter is not of age yet, please give her a few more years”
Of course the clan head wouldn't hand over his only granddaughter to the crown prince who played with girls as if they were mere toys, he was only trying to buy time to give her a chance to escape.
The crown prince turned and looked directly into the clan heads' eyes, a huge amount of pressure that came from someone who was used to being high above others struck the clan head.
Cold sweat filled his face.
”I did not ask a question I gave you a command, a command that you should not dare to disobey if you don't want your bloodline to be cut off right here right now.”
The clan head clenched his teeth to hold back his rising anger.
”Your highness although we are a declining noble clan we are still nobles, please treat us fairly”
”My patience has run out, guards immediately capture that girl and bring her to the carriage”
The imperial guards who came with the carriage showed savage smiles as they walked towards the young girl.
The whole clan was immediately enraged.
”How dare you”
”We will fight it out with you”
”We won't allow you to take away our Han'er”
The clan members all banded together to try and stop the imperial guards but how could they manage to stop these well trained imperial guards, they were all immediately subdued and captured.
Shi Yan stood in front of his sister with his back straight trying to protect her. Even though he knew that he did not have the power to stop them, he was not going to give up without a fight.
”I will not allow you guys to take away my sister”
”Stupid boy move out of the way”
The guard lifted his hand and with one slap hit Shi Yan into the arms of another guard.
”Yan'er!”
”Your highness you've gone too far!”
The clan head that was now bound and forced to kneel on the ground was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot and veins bulged from his forehead.
”Too far?, I haven't even started as yet, I'll show you true despair for daring to go against me, bring the girl over.”
Shi Yan shouted and struggled as he tried to get away from the imperial guard.
”No stop let her go!”
”I will kill you if you dare to lay a hand on her”
Shi Yan was so angry and scared at the same time that his whole body began to tremble and cold sweat ran down his back.
The crown prince just stared down at him condescendingly, the look in his eyes made it seem as if Shi Yan's words were worth less than the dirt at the bottom of his shoe.
”Idiot trying to protect your sister from me, I commend you for your bravery but you're stupid if you think that you could hurt me. Anything this prince wants he will get it and you know why, it's because I have power that you can never fight against, even if you dedicated your whole life to improving yourself a weakling like you will never reach my level”
The crown prince roughly held Shi Yan's sister by her hair began to forcefully strip her clothes in front of everyone. He then straddled her in his arms and roughly grabbed unto her smooth white peaks.
Shi Yan's sister cried out loudly in fear, she was just a young girl who was barely at the age where she developed her first real crush.
”No! Stop please, someone help me, brother save me, I don't want this, help me!”
The prince shouted with bloodshot eyes and a lewd grin on his face as he continued to strip the girl.
”Hahaha, I will allow everyone to watch as I take away this girls' purity, you all will understand that being weak is a sin”
”No! Stop, I will definitely not allow you to hurt her! ”
Shi Yan shouted as he managed to find strength that was deeply hidden inside his body and forcefully escaped from the guards and ran towards the crown prince.
Within an instant he was in front of the crown prince and with his entire strength he threw a fist at the crown prince' face.
'crack'
The whole compound went silent the only thing that could be heard was bones breaking as Shi Yan's fist hit a transparent barrier that suddenly appeared around the prince.
”ahhhhhh!”
Shi Yan screamed as his hand folded in on itself, joints fell out of place, large pieces of jagged broken bones and veins poked out of his arm and hot blood started to shoot out of his hand in large volumes dyeing the floor a dark red.
The crown prince stood there wide eyed and dumbstruck as the transparent barrier began to slowly dissipate. If it had not been for the transparent barrier he might have been severely hurt if not killed by that punch.
