In the middle of Afternoon a thunderstorm rumbles.
"Sir!, My Lord!." His voice is clear filled with anxiousness as he ran calling out his superior.
Her broke his limit and stumbled on a rock facing the wet dirt.
"I shall not give up The Lord needs this information." he stood up ignoring the pain of his injuries came from the battlefield.
He continues to look for the Lord across the street; Unfortunately, only resting wounded soldiers are present here.
The thunderstorm only grumbles louder the wind gales gets stronger but the sound of steel bashing still continues.
Outside the walls, war emerges with tons of bloodshed prevailing through the soil.
The agony of the soldiers fighting for their lives it was not a battle for honor and prosperity it's a bloodshed a battle for survival and there were no honor staked at this battle just a complete massacre between opposing knights.
The man still continues to run until he reached a tent, then discreetly entered the premises and saw a man standing in the campfire's front.
"Lord!, My Lord!" he shouts as he catches his breath. "We, neeeed, haah!... reinforcement! wee hah!, are about to lose the gate my lord" he said it while bowing to show his respect for his superior.
He wears a set of armor made up of steel embedded with high quality gold threads as its noble designs. and red rose color short cape.
The Lord didn't react to the message of the soldier. "Pay no heed soldier, I know he will come" As he speaks without looking at the soldier.
"Who is this person, sir?" The soldier has no clue who this person is and worrying that the Lord might already lose his mind. "Sir, please be reasonable, our men are dying outside the wall and this person might not come we must hurry and do something,"
Lord faced him and said, "I'm sure he will come." with no sign of doubt and unwavering faith to this mysterious person who holds the lives of these people.
The rain grow stronger soaking every dead body on the battlefield with their own blood even the thunderstorm rumbling noises after expanding lightning flashes throughout the sky lighting the darkness created by the thick clouds of the thunderstorm.
Even if the nature raging its anger throughout the battlefield it never halted the war between the opposing factions thus it only intensifies the bloodlust of each soldier with their personal reasons on why they fought in this war. Some may do it for gold but most fight for the sake of their families who lived behind those walls. Each swing of their sword is the lifeline of their family failure is not an option for them.
Hesitation will only weaken them, with this kind of resolve they may resort to selling their souls to the devil himself taking the enemies with them to hell.
Suddenly, a huge explosion echoed from the woods of the enemy camp they glance the fire within the castle walls.
The occurrence shocked the messenger and stepped back stumbled on a rock while watching the blaze within the thunderstorm. "What Is that?!."
"It's him the Mortal cursed by the Gods" He said it while his tears drops as it was a sign of relief that his town was saved by the enemy of the God they worship.
Gruesome cries from the outside the wall as the attackers fall one after another, leaving them lifeless on the ground.
The soldiers defending the wall cowers as their enemies being decapitated in front of them. The defenders didn't know if this killer is an ally so they assemble the formation. "Soldiers form a vanguard!, Archers prepare to fire on my command and Healers pull out the wounded!" He said it with fiery, but he himself trembles and confused.
Waiting is the only action they afford to do as the mysterious enemy hiding in the dark. "Soldiers any intel?" asking his second in command. "Negative sir, even our scout mages can't detect anyone with mana search".
[How could this be? It is impossible to avoid mana search spell]. The fear inside him only grew stronger as he thinks on how to deal with this mysterious individual.
"Oh God, please save us from this nightmare, all mighty God protect us with your holy blessings" Prayers from the God is the only they can do with the desperation, fatigue and faith towards their Goal to protect their families and love ones.
Frightened by the ferocious event the soldiers who holds their spears and shield stiffens some pee their pants as the awful cries of the enemies that echoes striking the mentality of the troops.
The cries eventually stopped no enemies left standing all slaughtered by the mysterious being but there is a person standing on the pile of bodies.
He wears a rugged dark cloak covered in blood, a glittering dark sword hold by his left hand and a huge scythe on his back emitting black aura and bloodlust enough to choke a regular person. "What the hell is that? what are you!?" clamored by a scared soldier.
The guy in black cloak pay no heed on his demand and walk towards the castle wall where injured soldier resting. "Hey! Don't go there! Leave them alone" As the soldier tries to prevent the person from approaching their comrades. But he still can't do anything he's scared that he will die if he takes a step towards them.
He approaches to a soldier who lost a left arm, they bandage it to prevent the bleeding but it still continues, seems this person is a girl at young age, she volunteered to help the wounded and defend the walls.
Then he sits in front of her observing while she fights for her life, evading death itself as she focuses on keeping her consciousness alive. "Do you want to live?" asked her blandly. The girl uses all of his strength to shift her head and look at the person who's on front of her. "ha..." as she tries to speak.
She failed to utter a word but the guy in black robes seems understood her, "I admire your determination to live little girl" he smiles unsheated his sword raises the dark sword and stabbed her to the chest "Agh!" she can't do anything. The soldiers froze and became silent as they saw the little girl getting pierced by a sword. "This sword shall be yours take care of it" he vanishes as the black sword piercing the girl slowly fades.
The Thunderstorm abruptly stopped and the sun shines lighting the bloodshed created by the war across the fields.
Suddenly a glow comes from the girl emits; it is so bright that it blinds all the crowd temporary. "What is that?" the happenings shocked the soldiers.
Gallops noises from the group of people riding horses came out of the gate and it was the Lord of the soldiers. "Bring all the wounded inside the castle walls we are in no position for epidemic". The stiffen soldiers responded and started to move their injured comrade.
The Lord also wonders where that bright light came from and ask a nearby soldier "Where did that bright light came from?" the soldier responds "Earlier a black robed person slaughtered our enemies and killed one of our comrade we can't do anything because we don't want to be killed by him,".
[So it was him] he talk to the person in charge of defense "Where is this person!?" the Lord wanted to meet this person but "I'm afraid we don't know he suddenly vanished after piercing a sword towards the injured girl over the walls," as he pointed towards the castle walls.
The Lord move towards the girl to check it out "I'm sorry, thank you for your sacrifices I will give you an honorable burial". The girl started to move while she sleeps in peace. [What she is alive?] I thought the sword pierced her?. He searched for fatal wounds created by a sword, he found none but he found on her chest piece armor a hole made by a sword but there are no wounds, even her missing left arm grew. "This is a miracle as he saved this girl. "
Suddenly, the girl wakes up facing the Lord himself. She abruptly stood up because she determined the identity of the Lord and paid her respect. ". She is cautious because she does not want to offend the Lord, "At ease soldier," as he smiles with a sign of relief. "What happened to the fight, my Lord?" She wonders. "We already won we saved your family". But she becomes saddened. "Why are you sad?" as he worries for the girl.
"I couldn't avenge my family they were both killed by the enemies, while others fought I was sleeping here" the Lord was also shock by what she said. "Don't worry I'll take you in, I will be your father is that okay?" The Lord tried to comfort her. "Alright follow me let's take a rest on my tent". She followed him towards the castle gate.
