addison looks around trying to find source of that voice
Looking shocked he looked around âThat voice⌠It cannot be him surely. Why would he not be in the castle. The King!â
It seems to be coming from an angry woman, coming out of the trees.
âLook, i get that my voice ainât that high , but I donât sound like the bloody king.â
She looks around at everyone, judging by her armor, she looks like a Knight from the Blue Dragon.
âTell me whatâs going on 'ere.â
Bowing and showing his equipment he spoke to the person he assumed to be a knight âHello, I saw a disturbance in the forest so came here⌠Some people seemed lost so I decided I will help them, I also then explained more about our code of conduct. I have everything handled. How is our liege faring?â
She nods, not elaborating further on the topic.
âMhm. Well,â
The knight holds up her right hand, and it glows a faint blue.
âYou ever heard to keep things short and simple? My squad is stationed near here and you were speaking so long as if you were giving a speech. Never mind.â
With that, her right hand suddenly blares a blue light, and she lunges towards Dracoâs companion. She stops just inches away from its nose.
âGeh heh. A hunter, huh? Never understood why you folk are called that, yet are all buddy buddy with your precious animals. Well, a decent chunk of you anyway.â
She gets up, and the blue light dissipates.
âSeems you have it all under control, then? Iâll leave you to it. Iâll head back.â
She walks off, muttering.
addison follows that knight And tries to remain unseen
She returns to a camp of patrolmen.
There are 2 guards outside the camp..
âWhat did you find?â The guard asks.
âJust a hunter and some lost civillians.â The knight replies.
âArenât they always lost?â
âDonât be like that, Zar. They are people.â
âDumb people.â
âIâd take a bet that some Blue Dragon are dumber than the commonfolk.â
âPfft, donât let any noblemen hear you say that!â
âWhat will they do? They need us knights, Geh heh.â
The knight goes inside, chuckling.
addison comes closer to campguards
âgreetingsâ
The guards look at each other, then to you.
âUh, hello?â One says, but the other asks
"What business do you have, physician?*
âI was assigned to this camp as Its physicanâ
The guards look at each other, then to you.
âSorry, but we have all of our designated docs on the premises. Perhaps a misunderstanding?â
âIf you tell us your name, we may be able to redirect you to the right camp.â
âI was assigned here personally by king since there was information of rare kind of disease in this areaâ
(and youâve fucked up)
( are they Going to answer ?)
The guards look at each other, longer this time.
They both unsheathe their weapons.
âLook kid, if you were a real physician, youâd know that what youâve said doesnât add up.â
âI donât know your motives, but you should leave now, or weâll have to take further action.â
âOh okayâ leaves
As you leave, you hear:
âWho was that?â
âSome guy pretending to be a physician.â
âWait. Describe them moreâŚâ
You are to far away to hear the rest.
The coldness of the guest room did not feel like home. As she slowly lay down on the bed, it felt soft, a sensation unfamiliar to her. Afterall, she slept on the floor back at home. And sleep slowly claimed herâŚ
Fate, however, is cruel. Even in sleep, the pain would not let her go. She saw the village up in flames, the cackles of laughter, together with the screams of pain and terror.
Faris could have managed to scream, but her jaws were clamped tight by an unknown force. She heard each and every scream resound deep in her bones, a chill not unlike the previous encounter she had with those perpetrators.
Though it but meant one thing.
Her friends and family were all gone.
No one probably remained.
The boyâs face then appeared in the midst, his plea to her in the forest while glowing red.
âPleaseâŚâ
All of them were dead.
What could she do? What should she have done?
There was nothing she could have done!
Wait⌠âwasââŚ
Now she had time to prepare. What did she want to do?
She wanted to get away⌠no. Something else other than fear.
She wanted to save them. But she didnât.
Something⌠Spoke to her. Was it their god?
Itâs real⌠the god is realâŚ
But⌠that god just killed off her village.
Her entire, fucking village.
Her heart finally sank.
What happened to her friends. Her family. All for a god. One magical god. It slowly dug into her sense of reason.
She let out a silent scream, heard by no one, no one but herself. Even if someone heard her, they wouldnât care too much.
She was now alone in her world. Not only did she not have a family, but no longer did she have a reason to keep earning money.
Everything was for themâŚ
Everything.
Every-âŚ
âŚ
WhyâŚ
If you looked at her sleeping face, you would be trying to find hankerchiefs to wipe the tears off her face.
Why am I still here?
(âEndâ)
(Bad ending)
Slowly but surely, Cedar wakes up feeling a bit groggy due to staying up for hours thanks to a couple of images in his head: The Captain and the Black Rose. But can he really call Buk Captain anymore? After all, Cedarâs his successor, and if so, how can he refer to Buk by name? First name? Last name? Nickname? Confusion overtakes him as he goes into a sitting position on his bed.
