He was standing on one of the nearest roofs.
Don't bother wondering how he managed to get there.
Throughout the centuries he had learned that given the time he could climb almost anywhere.
He was tall, almost two meters tall and his body was perfect, the result of a childhood spent preparing to become a warrior.
And he became one.
Not just a simple warrior but the best in his village.
That's why she, or if he guessed right HE chose him to carry on his legacy.
His brown middle-eastern color betrayed his heritage upon first sight.
His eyes normaly had darkness in them but now a red color flickered.
Not by blood frenzy, but from the wild fires that were dancing inside and soon outside of the building in front of him.
''What have you done woman?'' he wondered but deep inside he knew the answer.
Their legacy had to be passed down to a new generation sooner or later.
HE believed in that and SHE believed in that too.
But not him, not Narssel.
His line had to end with Nansy.
Wasn't that the reason for their divorce?
Wasn't that the main condition of their pact?
And now for the second time in this millenium she had betrayed him.
He didn't have to try to find her, he always knew where his ex-wife, his, once, life partner was.
And tonight he had felt it...he had a feeling something terrible would happen.
Mortal lives were in danger and death would come for many in an unfair way.
But he couldn't stop it. He had failed on his task. He couldn't intervene inside that place.
He was inside enemy territory and he would have probably caused more problems if he'd tried to stop the woman.
They could have ended up dead inside the building that was now on fire.
The prince might have them executed or punished...
He wasn't afraid of death, he never had been, but dying before fulfilling his unfinished business was a one-way ticket to a damned after life, if there was one.
The fire still danced in his eyes and his mind run back many centuries ago.
-Tonight young one is the time for your oath, a blood oath, the most sacred in your existence. Repeat after me. I, Narssel...
-I, Narssel
-Swear on my blood and on the honor of my father, the greatest warrior of all times...
-Swear on my blood and on the honor of my father the, greatest warrior of all times

-And await the return of the first father and his fair judgement on everyone...
-And await the return of the first father and his fair judgement on everyone.
-Welcome young one to the circle of the paladins. We are honored to have you with us in our eternal fight.
-I am honored to stand by your side as an equal in the eternal hunt for justice...
''Eternal hunt for justice''
-Where is justice right now?, he whispered
"I have failed once more but i swear to all the Gods that , this time, the woman will pay for her crimes".
The fires burned stronger now. Inside the laboratories existed flamable chemicals which ignited and started causing explosions.
The people from the party below were running frantically and when this was over no one would have any questions about the burned corpses some floors above.
Fire purifies they say and by purification another eternal life had begun that night.
