GRABS THIS

Au where Phil is a mercenary sent to kill this baby after a prophecy proclaims that it will kill and destroy the kingdom and everyone they love, but what they don't know is he's already lost everyone he's ever loved to his work and holds no loyalty to his current king, and not wanting to kill a baby, he just takes Techno and runs, raising him as his own.

Techno is strange. He talks to people that aren't there, he has a fascination with blood, he has nightmares that leave him wide-eyed and whispering quiet chants at night, but Phil loves him nonetheless. He teaches him to fight as soon as he can walk, teaches him how to kill to defend himself, to make it swift and painless and only when necessary. He tries to help him learn how to channel his magic, but it's clear that Techno is growing stronger than he anticipated. Still, Phil loves him. And Techno doesn't have any reason to hate.

What they don't realize is everything would've been okay if they'd just left Phil and techno alone. But Phil was considered a traitor and deserter, and the king continued to send people after them. When techno turns thirteen, the king's soldiers finally catch up with them and take Phil prisoner. Before they find Techno, Phil hides him away and makes him promise to run if they find him. When they finally leave with his father beaten unconscious and bound in chains, techno swears to raze their kingdom to the ground. If he finds his father dead, then no one else in the kingdom will be left alive.

He reaches out to his god, to the voice that's whispered in his head since he was a boy, and he takes him up on the offer he's been denying for years.

"I'll give you blood," Techno whispers, "If you grant me my vengeance."

I want to go here when I die
