Wing of sorrow (Chapter 2) Jack POV

Jack the heir to the throne

Chapter 2








Jack



I woke up and put on my suit before going downstairs for breakfast.


My family was already waiting for me.
'Good morning, Jack.' My mother greeted me happily. I sat next to my brother, his short dark hair highlighting his features. 'Hey bro, wanna go train after breakfast' he said excitedly. 'Okay but don't cry when you lose' I say with a teasing tone. He makes an offended face. 'Excuse me, last time we trained I kicked your ass.' I remember last time we trained he did kick my ass, but there's no way I'm going to admit that. 'I don't seem to remember that part.' I say 'Of course you don't' he says clearly not buying my pathetic excuse.
'Well come on what are you waiting for let's go' I say starting to run 'Whoever arrives first wins' I practically scream already running towards the training room. 'Hey, that's cheating' he says, already catching up with me. I quicken my pace when I see he's already next to me. We ran a little more before i'm about to touch the training ring. He suddenly grabs my shirt and pushes me back when I was just inches from winning. When I get up Daniel is touching the ring with a big smug grin on his face.
'You cheated.' I say trying to hide the frustration from my face. 'You didn't mention i couldn't push.' He says still with a huge grin on his face that's making me wanna punch him. 'Fine you won the race, but that doesn't mean you'll win the fight' I get up and enter the ring after Daniel.


We start making some laps around the ring before starting.
Daniel charges towards me before I can react and land a solid punch to my jaw, making me go crashing towards the ring edges. I spit blood on the floor before saying 'I have to admit Daniel you got me this time' he grins again 'I'm just warming up bro.' Before he can finish I charge towards him making him fall, before landing various punches on his face, leaving his face all bloody. I'm about to land another solid punch, but at the last second he grabs my wrist and he twists it, making me fall in pain. 'I admire the effort bro, but you're going to have to do better than that if you want to beat me.' My face twists from pain to rage, I can't stand him when he acts so smugly.
I get up and land a swift kick to his face making his head snap to the side, I take advantage of that second of distraction and punch him in the nose, making him stagger back holding his probably broken nose.
He approaches, grabbing two swords before tossing one of them towards me. 'First one to spill the blood of the other wins.' We start charging towards each other trying to drawn out someone's blood.
I throw a kick to his knee cap, making him kneel. I try to cut him with the sword but he blocks the attack before having the change to even graze him.
Damm, he's gotten better than before.
This time he charges towards me, I have to take several steps back before ducking his attack. Ha. he thought he could cut me first.
Something hot is falling from my arm, I lower my gaze to my arm to check it out.


Blood


Weird, I don't even remember the pain from the sword. Then reality sets in reminding me I lost.
'I'm disappointed bro, I really thought you were going to win.' He's clearly enjoying rubbing his victory in my face. Well it doesn't really surprise me he's been like that since he found out he won't be the heir. He's been wanting to prove father he's worthier of the throne than i am.
'Still pissed off you won't become the king.' The ragged look on his face makes me instantly regret my words. I knew that was a low blow. 'Daniel...' he cuts me 'Forget it...' He grabs his vest and heads out of the training room.


Great, I've done it again.
People always get hurt around me. And I have to admit it's my fault he isn't the heir. It was already planned for him to be the heir, until my parents saw me saving a little village girl. They thought I had the courage and the kindness of a good king. Of course Daniel didn't take the news too well, he spent over a month locked in his room, getting drunk and sneaking off to who knows where. He also didn't talk to me and he almost crossed the bridge to our enemies kingdom, the Shadows kingd0m. It's a brutal kingdom where rumors say they are dragon hunters. The Doso's clan, which are the kings of the kingdom, have spent decades trying to ruin Pristina's kingdom, our kingd0m. Father says they will be coming soon, this time with their ruthless dragons. Doso's can't be trusted, they will betray you and use you to always get what they want, they are tricksters you must always be careful who you trust. My father always blamed the Doso's for the castle's downfall back in 1800. But until I die, I will never trust a member of the Doso's clan.
