The man and his wife and the bandit woman yes she came too had safely gotten at the city and his wife was currently with a doctor while the other two sat outside, well thean was standing but ..
"so I never got your name with the whole bandit thing" the man asked.
"my name's Rose and you? " the woman said
" Well my name's David " he replied casually as he took a seat next to her
" So can I ask you something cause I hate beating around the bush..." before she could finish the man answered.
" you want to know what that was don't you ? well to be honest I don't know it started about after she got pregnant it's like a defense mechanism at first it wasn't that strong but as the pregnancy progressed the conditions for triggering it and the strength increased" he explained, the woman looked shocked at his explanation biy didn't say anything.
" you see I was hoping to have a seer check the child's fate for me before it is born"
"if the child is that dangerous why would you risk bringing it here?" David sighed
" As you witnessed before it doesn't affect me, people who aren't genuinely hostile or anyone who bows their heads while standing next to me "
"And that makes it okay?" she asked in shock.
" of course it does are you gonna deliver the baby? " The woman had a slight blush on her check
"n..no " she nervously answered, the two then remained silent for a while .
"so um I saw you use a sword before you a swordman?" the man put a hand on his chin.
"hmm yes but it's not like I wanted to be one though ,you remember that war between the hidden world and demons about two years ago?" Rose nodded her head
" well you see my wife participated in that battle she was displaced from the others and taught me swordsmanship well more like forced me, I was just a chef " he sighed
The pair where silent again nad this time for a few hours and David was getting anxious when they heard footsteps and saw the seers assistant was running towards them.
"your.... wife.... doctor...have....baby..go" the man almost ran out but decided to restrain himself and ask where they went before running out .
_____________________
It had been a year and a half after the child's birth and the bandit decided to become an honest person and ended up as they family friend . David's wife was in the garden picking fruit while their son whom they named Zerrif lazily sat under a tree, It may be because he was young but Zerrif had a girlish appearance.
' I didn't know I wouldn't wake up till I was a year old kinda makes me curious, just as what exactly was controlling this body, what's with this headache was the damage that bad?, also why the heck do I look so girly?Even I'm confused ..... ' Zerrifs mind was jumbled up with his own questions.
"...errif...ze....riff"
*pat *
"Zerrif"
"hm?" Zerrif looked back to find his mother standing over him .
"time to go inside honey"
" okay mama" he answered brightly and ran back inside ' I don't have to act like a child but I still do find this odd like my deep sleeping now I didn't even need sleep that much before.' Zerrif continued as he sat down on one of the chairs
"I'm home..." his father came through the door with a smile they both ran to hug him and then had dinner then went to bed .
That was pretty much how they spent their days. Laughing, running around it was all fun so..why was this happening? no one knows .
The village had been invaded and demons where killing people that resisted gathering them at the center even his parents where there. Houses where burned to the ground bodies scattered everywhere either torn to shreds or being eaten .
' how did this happen ?' Zerrif was wondering as he hid under the floor boards at home' this feels like back then and I'm just as powerless as before but my body strangely can't seem to handle my power thus my current state .
"I'm telling you that human is here I can smell em " one of the demons said as they walked around the house they broke the doors cupboards and just kept searching wildly .
"lets just go" another demon said, the first demon grunted and Zerrif could hear their footsteps leaving and he sighed I'm relief.
"found you~" a hand smashed through the boards and went through his stomach as he was pulled out.
"kyakaka look I think I killed it by mistake" it laughed a it held up his body .
" keke that's true but say is this human male or female?" .the other demon thought about it for a while before saying.
"well let's just check it's dead anyway" it said.
"hell...no...I... ain't....dead...dammit" Zerrif struggled as blood poured from his mouth.
"woah it's still alive gross " The demon flicked it's hand and threw him off ' dammit! dammit! I don't care if it hurts this body regenerate... regenerate..' he rushed his thoughts before passing out .
"is it dead ?" the other demon nodded, they turned around to leave when.
*Badump**badump* it was the sound of a heart but it was so loud that the demons stopped in their tracks .
"Poor child" a voice so calm yet those words reverberated in their very being provoking fear as they where frozen in place.
At the center of the town Zerrifs parents where a bit anxious but not because of the fighting but more about if they had found their son .
Everything seemed to be taking a worse turn as the resisting humans died but then a small figure was walking towards them This drew everyone's attention slightly .
"Zerrif!?" his mother said in shock a giant pit bellied demon rushed toward him with a blade far larger than even and adult and slashed at him the ground exploded on impact and Zerrifs mother screamed bit as the dust settled.
"such impudence... BEGONE" he swiped his hand and the creature followed skidding across the floor .
"Darling?" his mother questioned with years in her eyes the fighting paused for a few seconds as the demons turned their attention to the child but the child didn't move as silver star shaped pentagrams formed in his eyes and he said
" All of you...ON YOUR KNEE'S ] "that one sentence brought both human and demon alike to kneel and a certain feeling of dread washed over them it didn't matter whether they where enemies, friends, demon, human they all had one thing running through their mind as they started at the cold expression on this child.
' Death '
" All of you explain what's happening" he asked and everyone kept silent so he pointed at a random person .
" SPEAK" the democratic he pointed at started to explain what they had done in the town until he appeared as he was explaining a spear flew past the child and took of an arm and the demon grinned.
"serves you right you damn human, a weak species like yours should just...
the demon continued to babble on but Zerrifs face still had the same cold expression as before. " this body is rather weak bit this isn't enough, you should have gone for the head..... REGENERATE" his shoulder started to twitch as his arm instantly regrew and he moved it around to check it before slightly nodding.
The demon whi had thrown the spear was standing in place and shivering in fear as the child's gaze fell on him .
" I will forgive such a minor wound if you all leave this instant and never return" he Said.
" hah and what makes you think we would listen to a human your are a pathetic species weak, you barely deserve to be our-"
" STOP TALKING" The demons mouth snapped shut and he didn't say anymore Zerrif then pointed at the demon who threw the spear.
"you... EXPLODE" the demon swole up and burst into a shower of blood and organs . he then turned to face the demon who spoke before.
"now SPEAK YOUR MINDS all who think the same this fool stay there all who do not COME HERE " the two sides sperated so quickly that it was a bit surprising .
When the demon saw the number who disagreed his stood up and started moving towards them as they stepped back .
" traitors where is your pride as demons, worms, insects.." he spewed slurs at them and the others on his side joined him but didn't move.
"Oh my I don't remember giving you permission to speak or move do I?" the child said and the demon and his cohorts where silent, Zerrif chuckled and glared at him
"STOP BREATHING" the demon chocked as he fell to the floor and squirmed till he eventually stopped moving the others flinched and some where trembling when he foucused on them and with the darkest tone they've heard said.
" KILL YOURSELVES"
This day was recorded by the humans present as the most terrifying event in their history.
