Zachania

“What will the scholars write about my life? Will they be kind and without

bias, I am loved, revered, feared but am I respected?, in my early years I

took life’s without a care, in my later years I took life’s coldly, I

conquered all that went before me, I swore vengeance and stopped at nothing

till those who wronged me had perished. Who would have thought that the boy

who lived in his father’s gladiator school in Tallasian would become so adored

and feared, my parents hid my powers from me as they enlisted me into the

empire, what life might I have had if I did not discover I was a Zachanian. I

was contented in the royal guard, even happier in the Palace guard, I had

friends and no destiny, no fate or crusades to bear, why did you find me

Apollo, why did you rouse such wrath in me, you made me question when I should

have listened, you made me pry when I should have ignored, my eyes were opened

and from that day forth my life became so much darker, at first I rejoiced

when thousands upon thousands died at my hands, in time I cursed that I was

your instrument. I was chosen to avenge the Zachanian’s from the tyranny of

the empire yet I was not born when those atrocities took place, was it my

youth that fashioned me so ruthless, was the lust for revenge for my family’s

deaths that made me so resolute against the empire, Kratos has been at war for

thousands of years, the Tusarian’s our ancient ancestors, the Degrain’s, the

Kesain’s, but who has more blood on their hands than me, who has destroyed

more life’s than me, who has made more orphans than me, has my life been just,

how can I defend all that I have done. Apollo, will you abandon me now that I

have done your bidding, Zachania at long last is free but at what cost, at

what dreadful cost’
