The blade stopped one inch from Kael chest. The steel was shaking. The assassin was using two hands to push it but it would not move. It was like the blade hit an invisible wall.
The assassin was sweating. His face was red. He could not understand what was happening.
Kael did not hear him. The world around him had gone quiet. The cold wind was gone. The pain in his chest was gone. There was only a voice inside his head. The voice was old and deep. It felt like it had been sleeping inside him since he was born.
The voice said seal broken. True class awakened. Primordial sovereign. Rank sss god tier. First skill unlocked absolute dominion. All lower existence must obey. Mana reserve infinite but sealed. One percent unlocked.
Kael was looking at light words in front of him. The words were gold and only he could see them. His heart was beating fast. Inside his chest he could feel a big ocean of power. It was too big to measure. And that was only one percent.
He raised his head slowly. His eyes had changed. Before his eyes were just blue. Now there was a small gold ring around them. The ring was glowing small in the dark hut.
When he looked at the assassin the assassin felt cold. It was the cold that a small animal feels when a big beast looks at it.
Kael spoke in a quiet voice. He said Darius sent you.
The assassin was shocked for a second then he laughed. He wanted to hide his fear. He said so what if Darius sent me. You are still f rank trash. You are still the disgraced prince. No one will save you.
Then he shouted to the dark corner of the hut. He said what are you waiting for kill him now.
Two more men jumped out from the shadows. They were wearing black clothes like the first one. They had knives in their hands. They were moving fast to Kael neck and back. They were trained killers from the capital. They had killed many strong knights before.
Kael did not move fast. He only lifted one finger. Just one finger. And he said one word. He said kneel.
He did not shout. He just whispered it.
But the word was heavy. It was not just a word. It was a command from something higher to something lower.
The air in the hut became heavy and fell down hard. It was like a big hammer from the sky hit the hut.
There was a loud crack sound three times. It was the sound of bones breaking. All three assassins fell to the ground on their knees. Their knees had broken. They were kneeling in the mud. Blood was coming out. They were screaming and trying to stand but they could not. Something invisible was holding their heads down to the ground.
One of them was looking at Kael with fear in his eyes. He said you are not f rank. What are you. What class are you. No human can do this.
Kael did not answer them. His eyes had moved to the corner of the hut. There was a body covered with a dirty blanket. The body was Sir Borne. He was an old knight. He was sixty years old. He was the only one who followed Kael to Ashenfall when the emperor exiled him. Everyone else left Kael but Borne stayed. He died last night because he had fever and there was no medicine in this dead land.
Borne was the only person who called Kael my prince with real respect.
Kael walked to the body. As he walked the dead black grass under his foot turned green for a short moment. It was like the grass was happy that he stepped on it.
He stood over Borne and removed the dirty blanket. Borne face was pale and quiet. He looked like he was sleeping.
Kael pointed his hand to Borne chest. The gold ring in his eyes started to glow brighter.
He said arise and serve.
When he said it the whole land of Ashenfall shook small. Outside the hut the villagers who were sleeping woke up because they felt the ground shake. A light came out from Kael hand. The light was black and gold. It entered Borne chest.
For three seconds nothing happened. The hut was quiet.
Then Borne finger moved small.
The lead assassin saw it and his eyes became big. He said no this is impossible. Resurrection magic is forbidden. Only the pope can do it and he needs one hundred priests to help him.
Borne chest moved up and he breathed. He took a deep breath like someone who just came back from far away. Then his eyes opened.
His eyes were not old and cloudy again. His eyes were clear and sharp. There was gold light inside them like Kael own. He looked at his hands. He looked at his body. His fever was gone. The sick look was gone. His old broken armor started to fix itself. The rust was gone. The broken parts joined together and the armor became dark and beautiful with black and gold light on it.
Borne stood up. He looked at Kael. He understood everything at once. He knew he died. He knew Kael brought him back. And he knew who Kael was now.
He walked to Kael and knelt down on one knee. He put his fist on his chest like a loyal knight.
He said my sovereign your servant Borne has returned. Give me your command and I will do it even if I have to fight the gods.
The three assassins were shaking now. They were very scared. They came to kill a small disgraced prince for fifty gold coins. But now they saw a person who could bring dead back to life. They thought he was a demon.
One of them shouted demon you are a demon.
Kael looked at them. There was no pity in his eyes. These men came to kill a sixteen year old boy in his sleep. They would have killed him without thinking.
Kael said no I am not a demon. I am your king. And a king must judge his enemies.
He looked at the leader of the assassins. He said I give you one last order. Tell me everything Darius told you about Ashenfall. Why does he want me dead. Then die.
The skill absolute dominion entered the assassin head and broke his will. He could not disobey Kael command. His mouth opened even though he did not want to talk. Words started to rush out fast. He was crying and his nose was running.
He said Prince Darius said Ashenfall is not a dead land. He said under the old castle in Ashenfall there is a big secret. He said it is the first emperor treasure. He said it is the origin of all classes. He said you must never find it. He said if you find it you will become too strong and take his throne. He said we must kill you tonight and bring your head to him. He said the treasure must be his.
Kael heard it and his heart beat fast. So this exile was not just punishment. Darius knew something was hidden here. That was why he sent him to this dead place. And that was why he wanted him dead quickly before he could find it.
Kael said he had heard enough.
The dagger that was still hanging in the air one inch from his chest suddenly turned around by itself. It moved fast and entered the owner heart. The other two daggers also turned and entered the other two assassins heart. The three men fell down dead at the same time. Their eyes were still open.
The hut became quiet again. Only small fire sound was there.
Borne was still kneeling with his head down. He was waiting for order.
Kael looked outside the broken window. He could see small lights far away in the village. Those lights were from the people who were also exiled to Ashenfall. They were farmers and old soldiers and women and children
They were hungry and sick and poor. The empire abandoned them like they abandoned him.

And for that they needed to go to the dark forest.The dark forest was at the edge of Ashenfall.

The Origin Chamber
The blue light was coming from a crack in the middle of the castle yard. The crack was small at first like a finger width but as Kael put his hand close it became bigger. The blue light was wrapping around his fingers like it knew him. It was warm and cold at the same time.Borne pulled his sword out fast and stood in front of Kael. He said my sovereign be careful. This could be a trap. The first emperor was known for traps.Joren also stood close with his new strength. His hands were making fists. He said I will go first my sovereign.Kael shook his head. He said no. It is calling me. It knows my blood.He put his whole palm on the crack. As soon as he did the whole castle yard shook. Dust fell from the broken walls. The crack opened wider with a loud sound like stone breaking. The blue light became very bright and shot up to the sky. From far away in the village the people could see the blue light and they were scared.The ground under Kael feet moved. The stones shifted and formed

Even the people faces were grey because they had not eaten well for many months.Kael woke up early. He did not sleep in the small broken hut again. He slept in the old ruined castle on the hill. After he killed the three assassins last night, Sir Borne had carried their bodies outside and cleaned the hut. But Kael said he did not want to stay there again. He wanted to see the castle that Darius talked about.Sir Borne followed him like a shadow. The old knight did not sleep all night. He stood at the door of the castle ruin with his sword in his hand guarding Kael. His eyes were gold and he was not tired at all. Since Kael brought him back he had new strength. He was stronger than when he was young.Kael stood at the broken wall of the castle and looked down at the village below. He could see about twenty huts made of mud and dry wood. Smoke was coming out small from some huts.
