《Deck of Cards》Betrayal
Advertisement
The heroes have entered the huge stone castle in the Ylsfu Kingdom. On the way here, they only saw seas bodies, with pool of blood under the corpses. It was pretty gruesome sight.
But now, Echo and the others are looking around the castle, trying to figure out where to go first. They turn their heads around the place, until they decide to go right.
They walk through the corridor, where they see dead bodies of maids, knights and other servants everywhere in the corridor. The entire place smells horrible
They continue walking, while watching their step, so they wouldn't step on a corpse by accident.
After two minutes of stepping over the corpses, they reach a set of giant golden doors.
Because it won't matter, how they enter, Echo just decided to kick the middle, which pushed open both of the giant door with ease. The doors slam into the wall and some of the wall, grumble away after the impact.
They step into the throne room and look around, to see twelve soldiers, each nailed to one of the columns with their swords. In front of the throne, there is a dead body, which seemed to be the king, who is dead now. Has been a long time.
And on the throne, a person, wearing a white mask with seven blue lines is sitting on it. The mask has three vertical lines going over both of the eye holes and one stripes going down from the middle.
The heroes step nearer to the throne, until they stop. The person takes of his mask and reveals, that he is Xeeht. The Demon they had ran into their first mission.
"Hello kiddies. It's me again."Xeeht says"I see that your numbers have fallen. Sad. So sad."
He wipes a tear away and puts his mask on top of one of the arm rests.
"Xeeht. This time I will kill you!"Chris shouts and draws his blade from his waist.

"Ooh so scary."Xeeht says sarcastically."But you see, my blades can through your armor like hot knife through butter."
"You won't have a time to do that. You are alone. We outnumber you."Chris yells back and everyone draws their weapons and ready their spells.
"But you see."Xeeht smiles"I'm not alone."
"There is no one here, beside us."Chris says.
"Exactly."Xeeht says
This was his que now.
"Wh-"before Chris could finish his sentence, he was stabbed into the back waist. Blood was coming out of his mouth, as he looked down, to see a tip of a dagger sticking out of his stomach.
Next moment, Echo activated his staff and knocked Mari and the other blade dancer out, with a strong blow. He then sein back and send Jack flying away. Finally, he slammed the staff to the ground, sending out a shockwave, which made others to lose their balance and fall onto the ground.
Echo looked at Chris, before pulling out the dagger and wiping it clean.
"*Cough cough*. Why?"He asks weakly from Echo, who has stepped in front of him. Ehco doesn't say anything and takes Chris's sword and cuts the leather belt, which holds the scabbard, which he takes too. He sheaths Chris's sword, before stepping away, while still looking at them.
"Why?"Echo says"Well because fuck you. That's why."
Echo says, as he watches Chris vomit out his blood, before collapsing into his own blood. The Legendary Hero was killed by his companion.
Echo puts the sword onto his belt and holds his staff over his shoulders, while resting his arms on the staff. He is standing next to Xeeht and asks"Do your thing?"
"[Forget: Woof Elf Skyeza]"he chants.
The spell Xeeht just cast, made everyone here beside Echo, forgot about everything related to Skyeza. This was part of the deal, Echo made with Xeeht. He betrays them, he will meet Luxuria. He kills the hero, Xeeht will erase everyone's memory about Skyeza. This way, they don't know about her and so, they can't use her against him. He didn't have to worry about Nina or Kuro, as no one knows their names. Evelyn knew that Echo had second lover, but nothing else about her. So now, everyone had forgotten about her, except for Echo. This includes people in the castle too.

The Heroes slowly get up and look at Echo and Xeeht, standing next to each other. They get onto their feet and support their body, with their weapons and wands.
"Why Echo. Why did you betray us?"Evelyn asks him.
"Well you see Evelyn... I am dying and for me to live, a deal had to be made."
*Flashback*
Echo and Xeeht sit in an inn and he says.
"Well. How about we make a better deal?"Xeeht asks Echo, who seems a little interested, but doesn't show it.
"What kind of deal?"Echo asks Xeeht.
"A deal that can save you."Xeeht says.
"I'm listening."
*End flashback*
"The deal was simple..."
*Flashback*
"During the mission to Ylsfu kingdom, I want you to betray the other heroes. You will lead them to their traps and when you reach to the throne room, you will join me."
"It sounds good, but I won't but my lovers in harms way."Echo replies.
*End of flashback.*
"I had to lead the groups into the trap and when the time came, being the throne room here, I had to.."
*Flashback*
"I can make everyone beside you, forget about them, but that will require a little extra."
"What's the extra?"Echo asks Xeeht, who leans forward and says in a low voice"Kill the Legendary Hero."
"Lead the group to traps and kill Chris."Echo says and an evil smiles forms on his face.
"Echo."Xeeht calls out his name"Inside her, there is a second heartbeat."
"I know."Echo replies."I'm the father after all."
"""What?"""is let out by a few confused people.
"Not know!"Evelyn shouts.
"Ooh"Xeeht lets out an amazed sound"This is interesting development here. Good mom and evil dad. So interesting."
One ofthe heroes try to vast a spell, but before he could, Echo throws his card at him, sending him flying. The bit crashes into one of the columns and his back is immediately broken.
Echo looked around and stared at his previous group. All of them shaking in fear and feeling despair. Mari, who had woken up, was crying over Chris's body, before staring at Echo, with bloodshot eyes.
"I will kill you. I will kill you. I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU!!!!"Mari shouts, sa she runs towards Echo, only to be send flying back, after receiving a hit with Echo staff. She flies through he air and crashes into the door, tending it pretty badly and falling onto the floor. She is still conscience and looks at Echo.
"Aah Mari."Echo says"Our relationship had always been terrible. When we dated, you only bitched and in bed, you were on a lower tier. The amount of bitching couldn't be covered with sex. And thats why, it only lasted a month."
"Fuck you!"She screams, using all of her strength.
"Want to go?"Xeeht asks him, who replies"Wait a few seconds."
The next moment, Echo left side of the face starts to smoke and it seems, that it is burning, but Echo doesn't even flinch. When the smoke is gone, there is a purple Mark of Nox on the left side of his face.
"Fuck humanity."he says, before disappearing alongside with Xeeht.
The Heroes collapse after that, in complete despair.
