If you want to please criticize my writing. I’ve only recently started and am trying to improve.

I train and nurture strong humans, give them a grand power to train, I breed them in camps to make them as strong as possible, but still most can’t even beat the weakest of hellhounds.

Of course there have been some great warriors, maybe one in 100 are able to survive escape my armies and survive on their own. I send weaker warriors to fight them. That kills most but the strongest grow even greater in power. 1 in 1000 of those make their way to me. Only a handful of those have remotely been a challenge for me to kill.

But all that I ever wish for is one of those warriors to succeed in their quest to kill me. I’ve done so many unspeakable things, caused an innumerable amount of death, tortured so many souls, crushed so many dreams. I can’t let it phase me or my status could fall apart, but I’ve lived an awful life.

And here I am again. Another “chosen” warrior confronting me.

“I will kill you if you try this” I couldn’t be bothered at this point in my life to initiate the fight. It was too regular of an occurrence.

“Why do you do this to people? Torture and hurt them? You gain nothing from it!” He said that as he lunged towards me. I held out my hand to block him, and, to my surprise, he actually pushed me backwards.

As he pelted me with attacks, I began to fight back. After all I had to in order to truly die. I expected him to die after a few hits, but the fight continued. It kept lasting longer and longer, and by the end I was on the ground crying. The man was on the ground from exhaustion and his injuries, and I was dying.

“Thank you” I said.

“What?” The stranger responded

“Thank you. For killing me.” I said

“You… wanted me to kill you?” He said with a rasp in his voice

“I’ve lived for millennia, you’ve lived for a mere few decades. Death is a blessing after all I’ve been through” I said solemnly

“Why didn’t you just end it yourself? You could’ve gotten what you wanted and not killed so many people, my family, nearly the whole human race!”

“That’s unimportant. Before I die I have one thing I have to tell you. I will bestow you with my powers of the gods. You must protect the land and lead humanity to prosperity.”
