The Lost Prince

"Father!" Eli, a boy of ten Shouted, a boy of ten, watching as his father, the high lord of Ustia, collapsed. His eyes staring into nothing, chest filled with holes. the street was silent, everyone looked upon their beloved founder of the new world, bested by phantom men, lying in a pool of his own blood on the cobblestones.

Screaming and shouting, the street broke out in a wave, carts being trashed, people being shoved, everyone swearing to kill the Assassin of their High Lord. Eli ran to his corpse, tears streaming down his face as he cradled his Father's head in his arms, He looked around for a familiar face in the swarming mob, but none could be seen, his Father never brought guards with him when he came to Hightown, he knew his people loved him.
"Come 'ere lad" a rough voice said from behind, Eli never heard him, his eyes were focused on the bell tower, where he could see a man, strapping his rifle to his back.

The man stopped, feeling eyes on him, he looked down to where Loras laid in his puddle of blood, head cradled by his Son Eli, The Assassin raised his hand to Eli, smirking to himself, turning away, he muttered the words for the portal to open, hoping he recited them correctly in their ancient language, sure enough he did, as what looked like a tear in the air itself opened and widened in front of him, he dived, with no fear, through the tear, and it was gone, along with the man.

Eli watched with rage as he saw him jump through and disappear
"One day, i'm going to take all you hold dear, then i'm going to kill you slowly" he swore through gritted teeth, fists clenched. "ELI!" the man behind him shouted for the fifth time, starting to get impatient, he stood up and with a grunt scooped the young lord into his arms. He set of in a hurried pace down the alleyway and around the corner.
"Let go of me" Eli shouted at him, biting and kicking as he watched his fathers body disappear around the corner, "keep quiet boy, otherwise they'll come for you next" the tall guy grunted,
"no ones coming for me, i saw the man jump through the portal" Eli whispered as he thought back to moments before, as he watched the Assassin wave to him, like he was a friend, sparking rage into Eli as he swore over and over again that he would kill him. suddenly he was put down, and a fist caught him across his jaw.
"Sorry lad" the man whispered as he carefully picked up the young boys' unconscious body, "but i need you to be quiet."
