Chapter Three of Doom

The third chapter of Eternal Destiny

CHAPTER THREE OF DOOM
"With all due respect, how much of that did you see?" Roy asked the enormous man with coarse red hair.

"You punching my daughter in the face and your friend here throwing a snake at her?" Justin said. "Or do you mean threatening her with that accursed false respect of yours?"

"With all due respect, my respect is genuine," Roy said.

"Justin, right?" Rune asked. "Look, that Tanya chick was planning some ritual-"

Justin punched Rune in the face. Rune was in the air for five seconds before he hit the ground.

"You think I don't know what my own daughter does, huh? That she grabs a couple kids every week and sacrifices 'em to her fish in exchange for maintaining her immortality? What about that do I not get?"

Rune struggled to his feet. "You - you just let her kill these kids? You're a terrible leader and a terrible father."

Justin punched Rune in the gut. He coughed up a little blood before falling to the ground again. "Heh. This kid's a weakling! And he thinks he can make it here! HA! No way he's going to survive that. As for you, Roy Gold... Your demise will be much more... public. At the Fort Center. I believe you know about the place?"

Roy's eyes widened. "With all due respect, later!" He fired another shot at his feet but Justin took the gun.

"Ah, the delivery guy's portal opener. With it, he can move anything to anywhere he can aim at. Shredded up, this'll make a perfect snack for the fish."

"No!" Roy shouted. "With all due respect, I can't let you-" He was cut off by Justin's knee slamming into his chest. Roy crumpled to the ground beside Rune. A couple people walked up from behind Justin and grabbed Roy.

"This man is to be executed at Fort Center at what time?" one of them asked.

"High noon. Bright enough for the whole town to see what happens to those who mess with my daughter."

"What about this kid here?" the other asked.

"He's all but dead already. You can just leave him."

Justin and his men dragged Roy away. Rune lay on the ground groaning and struggling to get up, or at least summon a horse who could help him.

He closed his eyes and tried again, only to fall unconscious. He didn't feel the hands that grabbed onto his.
