Chapter 1: Chapter 1

"I the great hero have returned victorious in defeating the demon King!"

I walk through the capital to the cheers and cries of the crowd lining the roads. As I parade through the city two royal guards approach me.

"The queen commands you to the throne room."

"Hmm, what if I don't?"

"Then by command of her majesty queen Selina the second we will have to use force to bring you in."

"How are you supposed to do that? I am the hero who defeated the demon King."

I draw my sword ready to fight. Instead of readying themselves the guards do nothing except one of them taps the ground with their halberd. What was that for?

Before they can do anything else I charge at them. I swing my sword but something stops it. Looking towards what stopped my attack I see a dark elf wearing a black suit with a red tie and three chevrons on her right shoulder with a symbol that makes me freeze; wings wrapped in chains. She looks at me with a cold blank stare that sends shivers down my spine. How can she do that? I'm the hero, aren't I?

"Hero Aldred you are under arrest. You are to come with us to the Palace for your trial."

I turn around to the new voice to see a vampire girl wearing the same uniform. Before I can do anything they both grab one of my arms and drag me away. How can they be so strong? I thought I was the strongest. Maybe the stories really are true about that place.

After ten minutes of being publicly dragged through the streets we enter the Palace and I am dragged to the throne room. Inside is the queen. She had long blue hair wearing a blue dress. Next to the queen is a young looking dark skinned girl wearing some unusual clothes. The sort of thing you would wear in a warmer climate. She has lion ears and tail.

The two girls who brought me here threw me to the ground in front of them. I try to stand up but the elf puts her foot on my back and pushes me down. The girl next to the queen steos forward.

"Hero Aldred you have been found guilty of resisting arrest, disobeying a royal command, two hundred and thirty four accounts of murder, hundred cases of manslaughter, fifty cases of criminal damage..."

The list goes on for another ten minutes. How did they find out about all of this? And as the great hero shouldn't they be thanking me and letting me of? I should be free to do what I like for what I did for them.

"You are hereby sentenced to life imprisonment as a class A prisoner at the Crystal prison."

No. I can't go there, if the stories are true... I need to get out of here. As soon as the elf takes her foot off my back I get up and run but before I can get far there is a searing pain in my chest and I fall back to the ground. The pain lasts for a few minutes and once it's goon I look down to see a capital a in a circle wrapped in chains burned into my chest.

I heard about these they are marks to show you are a prisoner. I heard any of the guards can activate them and give you an electric shock. Also the prison mistress is supposed to be able to do alot more to anyone who has thses. Anyone who is lucky enough to get out alive keeps this mark for the rest of their life as a reminder to themselves and others of who they are.

Twenty minutes later they have dragged me through the prison gates into a court yard. All around are criminals in blue prison uniforms showing that they are class C prisoners meaning they have committed the least severe crimes. They drag me past them further and further into the prison.

Eventually they stop and throw me to the ground. I look up to see both of them leaving and two maids approaching me in the traditional black and white maid uniform. One is a kitsune the other is an elf. The kitsune maid steos forward and gives me an engelic smile before speaking.

"Greetings we will be taking you from here. Follow us please, we would prefer to not have to use force."

"Err, yes of course."

"Wonderful, follow them please."

I follow the maids into a building filled with uniforms and various equipment. As we enter a smaller room both of the maids grab me and force my clothes off before forcing a red prisoner uniform onto me. It is a plain shirt and trousers with black boots. Part around the marking is open so that everyone can see it. Next they force a metal collar and manacles for my ankles and wrists. Next is a metal chain attached to the collar. Once they are done the kitsune picks up the chain and pulls at it.

"Come along now prisoner to your cell."

Before I can protest she yanks at the chain and I stumble forward nearly falling over. As she casually walks on I am being pulled along behind struggling to keep up. How are all these guards so strong? I was told that I am the strongest.

Eventually we reach my cell it's a small dark, damp, mouldy room at the near heart of the prison. She pulls me in, detaches the chain and attaches it to my right ankle manacle and the other end to the leg of the small wooden bed.

Without a word they both leave and lock the solid metal door behind them blocking out all but the faintest of light from the small window. How, did I end up here? Yes I did everything they said I did but it wasn't my fault was it? I was always told that as the hero I could do whatever I liked because I am chosen by the gods. Now I will soend the rest of my life in this room as I dont expect them to let me out any time soon.
