"Have you ever imagined a room? full of mysteries and secrets that you just want to crack the case to?" a girl with silver hair- long locks and a modern varsity jacket with a modified hood. holding both guns in her hand as she points it to the old Fallen
"you see- I've been searching for something in my entire life and I still haven't found it! care to tell me where it is? little ol' me would be so happy!" without another moment- a gunshot was heard. no screams nor agony reverberated nor did the Fallen live to do so.
"nothing. haahhh... it's quite upsetting that I can't get any clues on Kirin's files... seriously... how do we even find something so ancient and hidden?" the girl left, leaving the dead corpse to turn to dust itself. after her leave, a child with white hair showed himself, smiling gleefully
"look- he didn't have anything alright? haahhh... what am I supposed to do..." the girl sighs. the boy looked around joyfully then leaving the area like a flash of light. without a second thought, the girl smiled and headed towards the north, where the dragons live. "this is gonna be fun!" she said to herself all the while killing every living Fauna in the vicinity without a care.
~goal... what is a goal? how do I get them you ask? then ask Finn, I'm sure he'll know what to say- that is, if he can even speak. well- even if he knows or he can speak, I doubt he'll even bother~ "haahhh! singing that melody is always music to my ears~!" in that case though... how do I even get to the flying city?" she asks herself knowing no one would answer. with a smile to her face, she screams in place- "well let's see what you got!" and smiles menacingly, without question nor any info on how to get there-

blood, soaking the forest with the blood to the roots, Ren kills every Fauna without consent and do so gleefully without mercy. smiling in the skies and seas as if she was the demon herself-
the north was a freezing place to begin with, the Fallen has mutated to resist the northern frost without trouble but not for humans- Ren is a human who has been transported from the world Helkos. along with Finn the mute child and the unknown entity, Mikro. imagining a world where everything is all fairytale and happiness for them, and only for them.
-----------
the morning strikes and Ren finds herself half-naked with a couple of bandit holding him hostage. surprised, she asks "uhh- hello? what time is it? you guys didn't do anything to me right?" both the bandits were surprised at her calmness but feeling cocky- mocking her with her question- "he-eh? it's time for you to go and show us your tits! we weren't allowed to harm goods but it seems that your wear is strong- show us that and we'll tell you everything you want to know"
Ren smiles- "eh? really? you will? then-" she unlocks her bra and flashes before them- stopping the carriage, both two bandits stared with content and perverted looks while Ren- "idiots" -flesh and bones started to form into a tentacle-like limb from her back and- "what th-". killing both two bandits, she escapes herself and grabs her usual clothing- "Haahhh... they could've cleaned this... aw man! I should've asked where I was..." with an annoyed face, she grumbles and steps on their faces, pleasuring herself with it even though both of them were already dead.
"it's a surprise that the Fallen are a nicer race huh? if it were me then everyone would've died long ago~" she took everything the bandits owned that deemed useful to her and headed to nowhere. without a sense of direction, she just headed towards where the bandits were going assuming from the trajectory they were headed. "might as well try right?" she thought to herself and headed north.
after a while, she noticed a cave and entered without worry. holding both automatic pistols on her hand, she dashes through the cave.
echoing through the caves were the bandits- "intruder! sound th-" a gunshot was heard, nowhere to be seen- "I see you~" Ren was holding the gun upright while the other pointed at her next target. with stylish movements and graceful and fluid flexibility, she shoots every moving being within her vicinity like heat-seeking shrapnels.
30 minutes later, the whole place were riddled in bullet shots, holes, and scratches. leaving only two alive, Ren points the two guns to both of them and steps closer
"Hello~ care for a little questioning?" the living bandit was cowering in fear. "step back!" he says with a sword in his hand pointing at Ren. without another thought, Ren shoots the sword flinging it to the opposite side just going through Ren
"we don't need that now do we~?" with a smile on her face, she asks the living bandit- "now- do you know where this so-called-Kirin Aiha hides his belongings?"
the bandit stuttered- "I- d-do-" the gun was shot point-blank to his head, exploding the head messily in the process. "now- how about y- no... you also don't know huh?"
the other bandit hesitated, "I- I know! p-please don't kill me..." Ren surprises herself, "oh? really now? care to show me?" she asks with a smile hiding the demon. both of them walk through the cave but- the bandit wasn't alive anymore
the gunshot was silenced, nothing was heard, all the bandit noticed for a brief second was that he lost his eyesight and nothing but red. dying right after.
"setting up that kind of trap is useless..."

----------
with a sense of pride and justice, Mikro was the silent but deadly type. wearing black leather jacket and comfortable jeans, all the while hiding two expanding butterfly knives and one lethal needle capable of killing even a dragon kind with one touch.
in a dense forest of the west governed by the Floran race, Mikro rest his body in aromatherapeutic trees, sitting in a bench under a tree of the ancients. Floran are a nasty but tribal race dedicated to themselves. they're smaller stature but stronger and versatile Ether capabilities makes them a dangerous race to capture and difficult to kill individually
. . .
along the passing time, Floran child of Elvians and Floretians gather together Mikro, who was resting soundly and peacefully. time by time, more and more Floran children gather to him and people began to take notice-
questioning the events, the people started guiding the children back to their homes and slowly decreasing the crowd. the moment that almost every child was sent home, Mikro wakes up to see a child sitting beside him. an Elvian with a smaller physique than normal.
Mikro disregards this and carried the child to a nearby church of the Floran and immediately left. without a word nor a thought in mind, he started walking to the outside of the village. upon his notice, a child was waiting for him, silver eyes and silver hair-
"I'm already done here, do I have anything else to do?" Mikro asks Finn but he shakes his head. "then I'll head to the Reptilians for information. don't bother with the dragon race, I'm sure Ren will take care of it". with a smile on his face, Finn walks to a tree and disappears into nothingness.
. . .
. .
.
with the sun high in the sky, Mikro was waiting outside of the village, only trees and shrubbery surrounded him and the birds and eagles sailing in the skies.
"clear blue skies, nature everywhere... this is nothing compared to the horrors I was dealt with..." he mutters to himself. he rest laid on his back and-
". . ." an arrow was struck. coated with poison from natural extracts of a poisonous Floran. Mikro stands up, with both knives long enough to pierce through a body. as soon as a second went by, a woman in a slender, hunting clothes shows herself- a Elvian.
"I see then... you don't mind dying?" Mikro stated his opinion but the woman didn't respond. with both knives in their hands, they attack each other one by one but-
"you're not even worth my time." the woman choked on blood- bleeding outside at every hole it could find, dying painfully as much as possible. "it's a shame that you attacked, you could've lived such a beautiful lif-" for a second, Mikro caught a glimpse of the woman's life, it was a wonderful life, the woman was taking care of her daughter happily with her husband, the daughter was the child that Mikro took to the orphanage-
"I see... I shall make a burial proper for you-"
. . .
in a matter of minutes, a grave was put in the middle of the forest where the woman was buried in. with a beautiful flower in the top of the grave, slowly wilting without its roots
"shall I give your final regards to your child-" taking another flower whilst walking away, he talks to himself without any regrets nor hesitation
carefully leaving a basket of white and black flowers he found while walking around, he leaves them to the house where he found the memory of the woman. the child was already waiting outside, not for him but for her mother. the only person she truly loved after their father leaving them behind-
Mikro knew what situation the child was in, he wasn't hesitant to decide on her final time and where it should be-
he guides the child to the forest, with a trail of flowers and beauteous Fauna, smiling happily at the joyous scenery only to see that her mother was already dead and in her grave.
. . .
the girl cried, fearing her mother's death, not believing anything she sees
"I'm sorry" with an emotionless face and not even hesitating to utter those words, Mikro killed the girl as painless as he could. no bruise, no cuts. the girl died as if it was by natural causes.
"I'm sorry for killing you too early- this world is too cruel without a mother or a father to cling on to" she laid the dead girl on her back seeing her last moments-
"it seems it was fun for you, until this day, I truly am sorry" he buried the body first leaving the girl's last expression visible, the epitome of hatred was about to be born from her. a demon could've been ignited inside of her. that was his thoughts, and he didn't regret a single thing he did
"it's about time for me to leave." after burying the girl fully and leaving two tombstones, he prays to his only God, Yuolmi, for their safe departures to hell
"Nothing could be done" leaving the graves, bumping into Finn once again. but this time, he has a mischievous and menacing smile on his face.
"I did what I could only do, if I were to leave that girl alive, she could be a hindrance to me. I gave him the safest and a painless departure." the child walks along with him, still unsure of what he meant by that.
. . .
for a long time, they haven't experienced any disturbance from bandits nor ruffians, only refugees and campers along the road can be occasionally seen. Finn looks everywhere and was wandering around Mikro as if to not be lost.
bumping into a carriage full of nobles, Mikro and Finn stops, blocking the carriage on their way-
"excuse me sir- would you please step aside?" the driver politely asked but the door slammed open revealing a hurried old man. his skin was covered in scales signifying a Serpentkin
"what is the meaning of this!?" the Serpentkin was fuming. he commanded Mikro and Finn to step aside or face punishment but-
"what the-" the Serpentkin was bleeding everywhere as if it were cuts from a string or thin claws
"Finn, I think that's enough, we have no reason to fight right now"
Mikro said his part and Finn frowned, only to leave meters away and waving happily in the distance.
"sorry for my patron misdeeds, I assume that you will forgive us?" the driver was speechless but the Serpentkin was fine with it
"no- if your patron was that powerful then I could not hope f winning in a match, it is your win, we shall stop until you move and we will do so diligently" the Serpentkin was prideful but wise, he knew not to fight an unwinnable fight. Mikro was slightly surprised, "then please don't let me interrupt you" he moves to the side and both the driver and the Serpentkin bows and leave without another thought.
"Laplace is not the hell I once knew... it has changed..." uttering those words while following the endless road. he thought how idiotic his mindset is right now but- "I have no reason to change it either"
-------------
Ren arrives at the Fallen Village up north and so does Mikro. bumping to each other only to say hello to each other, at least... that was what Ren thought.
"it's boring!... how can I past the time... ahh! right! those children were a tad interesting... I think I might pay a visit." she thought to herself but only to receive a burn in her heart
"G-Gah!" the pain wouldn't go away, burning through her body as if it was hell itself
from that moment, a man clad in black showed himself spontaneously in front of Ren. "I'm afraid that I must stop you there~" a demon, horns showing in his head and a tail to boot. Ren wasn't afraid, she was more ecstatic to see someone capable of stopping her
"haha- and who are you to stop me?" she smiles, immediately pointing the gun at pointblan as quick as sound but she felt a surge in her hand-
"G-GAAAHHH!" she screamed, the demon was nowhere to be seen and she found herself in a village- her village at her homeworld, all happily enjoying themselves without her
"Gah-! I know this is an Illusion you fucking Demon! show yourself!" she shoots her guns at random but to no avail, it was as if she returned to her own world. "no-. no!!"
she screams but no one responds, it's as if she is her own shadow-
