Somewhere just beyond the planet of Borner, a fleet of black starships were making their way out of the Borner territory. The soldiers of the worlds were on their way but the fleet got away before they arrived.
Inside the main ship, a figure in black armour walked through the hallways.
The atmosphere in the ship was tight and while the figure passed a few crewmembers who tried to walk around him, his mind was somewhere else.
He was called upon by his master to report his mission, something that didn't succeed as planned.
The figure wore a black helmet with two horns and the white lining on the helmet made it look like a skull. A helmet that struck fear in his enemies but also his crew members.
There was no sound in the ship, only the sound of his heavy boots walking through the halls. This kept going for a while until he reached the door of a certain room.
Before his gloved hand approached the panel to unlock the door, he stopped for a second.
He felt a little bit of fear and he tried to get rid of it. He couldn't be scared. He did exactly as he should have but the mission seemed more difficult than he first thought.
He pressed a few buttons and the door opened. A damp musty smell came from the room but he still walked in.
The room was dark, the walls covered in slime and in the back he knew where his master would be.
'You called me for the report' the knight said calmly.
In the back of the room he heard a sound of bones cracking, slime dripping and movement.
He couldn't see it because it was too dark but he knew he was there.
A voice that sounded like nails going over a chalkboard answered.
'Your mission to find the boy?' the voice asked.
The knight stood there, silent and wondering how he could tell it.
'The mission' he started but then he thought it was best to tell it immediately.
'The mission was a failure. We didn't retrieve the boy.'
There was no reaction, only the sound of something cracking and ripping, like his master ate something but bones still in it.
The knight could feel the fear again but he tried to hide it. He shouldn't be afraid of his master, even though he had never fully seen him.
'A failure?' the voice said and now his mouth was making a chewing sound.
'Why is that?' he asked, holding his anger down in his words.
'I'm sorry' the knight said and he bends his knee to bow.
'What?' the voice said louder and more angry.
'I'm sorry my master, my lord' the knight said quickly what seemed to calm his master.
After a while the voice in the dark talked again.
'Captain Hanzou. You have led a part of my army with great successes but at the most important moment, you fail me.'
Captain Hanzou wanted to tell him that one of his knights failed to retrieve the boy but that would be a weak escape. He had to face the consequences.
'Do you know where the boy is now?' his master asked and the captain stood up.
'According to my knight, he left in a ship along with the other people fleeing. I can trace him. Just like I found him after he appeared on that planet.'
His master rumbled with his voice, irritated but not angry yet.
'Find him. This is your last chance to prove your usefulness' the voice said more calmly then before.
'Thank you, my master, my lord' the captain answered.
He wanted to turn around and leave but some hatred inside of him made him stay and asked the question that was bugging him for a long time.
'I'm sorry to ask my master but why do we need the boy? What does he he that we can't already achive?'
The moment he said those words, he regretted it already.
He heard something moving and rumbling around him in the dark and the cracking of bones started again. He could feel his master approaching him more but nothing more than a hand appeared from the dark. A hand with seven fingers, all bent in ways that shouldn't be possible, skinny and malformed.
'You fool. I need the boy because he is the only one with a power like his.'
'And that power might be?' the captain asked slowly but a little bit irritated.
The voice of his master gave off a little laugh which sounded creepy before he spoke.
'That boy is the one that can open the Last world.'
