Narrator's POV:
"*ugh!* Earthquake before and now, absence of gravity? What the hell is this ruin???!"
- Aziel said with a disappointed and surprised look on his face.
"Is this what they call 'the end of the world'? I... I'm still not ready to accept it, you know."
- Efrain jokes.
People who heard Efrain were laughing. Back at Tigreal, Tigreal flinched upon hearing Zemislav's shout. Tigreal looked behind him and saw Zemislav who's approaching him in a desperate way.
Zemislav tries to reach him but suddenly, the rocks who were levitating were moving in a centrifugal motion, and drove them to confinement.
It spin swifter and swifter until a dark, shadowy power appeared below them and they were sucked in.
*screaming*
The moment they're sucked in, the entire place gone quiet immediately and the rocks that were levitating earlier gone back to normal.
. . .
- - - - - Meanwhile - - - - -
( In an unidentified and desolate place )
*breeze*
The second regiment falls from the skies.
*falling and groaning sounds*
"Wha.... What's going on? *ugh!* Where.... Where are we?"
- Alden ask.
"Are we.... In the Barren Lands already?"
- Aubry ask.
"Hmm... Seems like it. The scenery kinda reminds me of the Barren Lands itself."
- James responded.
. . .
They all thought.... that the place they're in, is the Barren Lands. But they're not aware....
*each of them observes their surroundings*
"Hmm... Probably, Ma'am Aubry is right, this place does not differ the scenery from the Barren Lands I remembered."
- Heldrick responded.
*breeze*
In a far away distance, there are tons of unknown armies heading to their way.
"Well, if my memories serves me right, this place kinda resembles to the Barren Lands. The scenery kinda reminds me back of my earlier years back when I was dispatched here."
- Margarette said.
"Well, since most of us concluded that this place is the Barren Lands itself, so then, I guess that concludes everything that we have arrived in our destined destination right?"
- Aziel said.
"You're right about that."
- Laurel replied.
All of them concluded that the place they're in, is the Barren Lands which they perceives but actually , it is not what they've expected to be...
"Ahahahahahahahah!!!!"
- unknown, and mysterious voice.
The place they're in....
*Zemislav detected something unpleasant*
"Sir Zemislav, is there something wrong?"
- Adrian ( Made-up name ) ask.
*Zemislav's sweating and feel uneasy*
Is the stronghold of the demons....
*growling sounds in a far away distance*
Or in other words...
. . .
The Abyss itself.....
*Zemislav gasps*
"EVERYONE...! PREPARE YOURSELVES!!!"
- Zemislav said in a distressed way.
*all gasps*
"WE HAVE COMPANY!!!"
- Zemislav shouts in mayday.
*arrows and axes flies all over their direction*
"MARGARETTE!!!?"
- Zemislav shouts.
*Margarette flinched*
"Huh??!"
- Margarette's surprised.
*Margarette looks up and saw the attacks coming from the air*
"Ah!!? ON IT!!!"
- Margarette panicked.
*Margarette's casting a spell*
While Margarette's casting, Zemislav lets out a great breath and shouts...
"EVERYONE! GATHER AROUND MARGARETTE! I REPEAT! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!"
- Zemislav shouts desperately.
Zemislav's voice couldn't completely heard by the rest of his regiment. He's completely aware of the sheer numbers he handled so, upon knowing, Zemislav grits.
"Sh*t!!! We're too many! It'll be harder for them to hear my puny call at this range.... I've.... Gotta do something..."
- Zemislav wondered desperately.
Zemislav approached Margarette's vicinity. He came to his side as she's still casting.
"Ze... Zemi??! Wha... what are you-!?"
- Margarette's surprised.
Zemislav didn't replied his wife's question and he wasted no time. He holds her hand and shared his power to hers.
"Are you ready?"
- Zemislav ask.
Margarette is still surprised of her husband's aid but still continue to cast her spell.
"Yes.... I'm all ready!"
- Margarette calmly said.
They both raised their hands, and started casting.
"PRIMAL SANCTUARY!"
- Margarette casted.
The dome-like shield started to engulf the entire regiment but the process is slow, and the upcoming attacks is fast approaching.
Zemislav started to channel more of his power to Margarette and started to amplify her Magical Power output in an extreme speed. Margarette wondered about an unknown feeling she felt. A feeling of sudden surgence of power flows through her.
Margarette took a glimpse of her husband and she saw that his face is so serious.
"Zemi..."
- Margarette wondered.
Before the attack landed on the regiment, Margarette's spell already engulfed the entire regiment and the casted spell already made its purpose.
- - - Minutes have passed - - -
( After the aerial attacks )
The area gotten stabalized, so Margarette's shield dissipated.
*dissipating particles*
"Wha...?? What was that all about??!"
- Alexandria shockedly said.
"An ambush???!"
- Terence said.
"What the f*ck's going on???! Before it's earthquake, then an anti-gravity and now, an ambush??! What the hell's going on here???!"
- Orphium asked in a panicked tone.
While they're on a verge of confusion, a mass number of armies have formed a tight encirclement against them, showing no chance of breaking through their defenses.
The second regiment started to get surprised by their overwhelming numbers. As they're in a state of surprise, there's an anonymous creature appeared that blended within the crowd.
"Go get those Moniyan Sc*ms."
- a feminine voice ordered.
When the anonymous creature ordered, the huge number of demons started to get hostile and charge madly towards the second regiment.
*battle cry of the demons*
*crowd noises*
. . .
The second regiment alerted of the demons' assault. They're all hesitating and started to feel depressed due to their overwhelming number, but even so, they've tightened their grip and man up.
"Sir Zemislav, what's your order sir?"
- Kathelynn ( Made-up name ) ask.
*Zemislav draws his sword*
"Attacking them head-on won't guarantee our victory, no... let's abandon in pursuing or attaining victory for now. What matters most is survival."
- Zemislav said.
*Zemislav's weapon got gripped firmly*
"... Brace yourself everyone, this time, we're taking a rocky and steep road. This'll not going to run smoothly."
- Zemislav said while giving a doubtful smug on his face.
"Yes sir!!!"
- all responded.
And so, Zemislav took the lead, followed by his regiment. They all charges towards the overwhelming number of demons, with no clear victory.
. . .
- - At the Land of Dawn - -
( At the Moniyan Empire )
Three weeks have already passed, there's still no news regarding Alucard's parents. This sort of situation could at least, alarm some people, but Order still the same as always, like nothing fishy have happened.
*knights were talking*
People within the Order still act normally, enjoying their ale and their preferred dishes. They laugh, they talk, and showing off their newly bought armory from different countries.
The Light's Order never changed even a bit. It's always lively and blessed with rejoice. While everyone's rejoicing, there's this one kid, named Alucard.
He was sitting on his little chair and keep on watching the knights talking, drinking, performing, playing, and looking at the Bulletin Board for some bonus quest.
*pale stare*
Unlike all knights, Alucard didn't show any enjoyment or even lively anymore, knowing that, there's no news regarding his parents.
*Alucard sighs*
. . .
He's all pale ( not his skin, just expression of his ), and he just keep on leaning his head to the wooden table where he sat on.
. . .
Alucard's POV:
*sigh*
. . .
*Alucard is looking towards the joyful knights*
. . .
*sigh*
Mama.... papa....
*Alucard remembered a flashback where his mother and father came out from the Light's Order's main door for their initiation of the mission*
. . .
*about to weep*
It's been three weeks since the dispatch of my mama and papa's mission.
*crowd's chattering noises*
. . .
I know.... I know.... This is not the first time I ever had longed them but...
*teary eyes*
Why didn't they send any news regarding their mission?
*about to weep*
They're.... they're not type of people who wouldn't report to their current situation.
*snot's about to drop*
I know... more than anybody... because I always knew since they always did that all the time.
. . .
*faint sniff*
This.... isn't the same as usual. It's been three weeks, and they didn't even send a single letter or news at all.
*faint sobbing*
What... happened to them right now? Are they in a middle of battle? Are they in the midst of journey? Or.... Or...
*faint sob*
. . .
*Alucard hides his emotional face through laying his face down to the table and cover them using his arms*
And there's more....
. . .
I can't stop myself from wondering and questioning all the time about the anxiety I've felt everyday.
. . .
I.... I....
*faint cry*
*Alucard's been busy getting emotional that he didn't notice that his throat is so dry that he needs something to drink*
*dry throat*
*clearing throat*
Huh? What the-?
*trying massaging his dried throat*
My... *clearing throat*
*tch!*
For f*ck*r's sake!!? I'm so frigging thirsty! D*MN IT!!!!
*Alucard get off on his chair*
I... gotta ask someone to give me something to drink....
*clearing throat*
*soothing his throat*
F*ck! I can't believe this! I should've drink at least one glass of water during the time I woke up.
Geez!
. . .
So, I approached some nearby knights and kindly ask me to give something to drink but.....
*sigh*
I came to a realization that I.... can't talk because I'm so f*ck*ng thirsty.
*snarling*
My throat's dry, it's painful, and most of all, I'm muted cuz, you know... That crazy *ss*d pain I was talking to?
. . .
*Alucard's posing a disappointed pose*
Geez.... What a drag.
Anyway, I gotta come up with an alternative way without interacting some b*tch *ss*d things though.
*man up*
So let's just to move our *ss*s and GET A HELL MYSELF A DRINK!!!
. . .
So, I pat some knights with their nice, toned *ss*s... Especially made up some f*ck*ng steel.
*tch!* That FRIGGING hurt!
So, like I said, I pat some knights but.....
*knights chattering*
*stares*
It seems they're b*tch *ss*d busy to notice my puny, and cutie call.
*grumping*
The... F*CK???!!! Can't they feel any pain or shock at all??! Like WHAT THE HELL??!! Am I pleading with a mere Robotic sh*ts or what???!
. . .
Gaaah!!! Curse them all! Stupid.... grr... TOWERING GEEZERS!!!
*grumpy*
. . .
*tch!* FINE!!! If anyone can't notice my puny height and.... Adorableness....
I'll just head towards the corner and f*ck*ng watch!!!
. . .
*snarling*
Curse them....
. . .
So, I head towards the corner and.... well... thinking some stuffs.
*while Alucard's heading to the corner he mentioned, he first glance to his back, hoping that someone's gonna talk to him but it's just a waste of time*
*chattering*
*Alucard's about to head to the corner but suddenly, he saw a glass of milk placed at the top of the table*
*mesmerized*
Is.... my eyes.... playing trickery in my perceptions?
*glass of milk is shimmering in Alucard's eyes*
Has my prayers been heard?
*orchestral music plays*
But... but...
*the glass of milk is taunting him*
*Alucard's drooling*
I....
*the glass of milk is taunting him seductively*
Gotta....
*snap!*
IMMA GO GET THAT ANGEL!!!!
*Alucard dashes towards the table where the glass of milk located*
*VRROOMM!!!*
. . .
*when he's finally at close range, he noticed that the chair which the glass of milk he tried to reach is too high for him to reach*
F*ck! It's... It's too high for me to reach!!!!
F*ck! F*ck! F*CK!!!!!
*snarling*
Why???!!! Why I'm so frigging small??! I... I can't even reach that table!
F*ck my height!
*snarling*
. . .
*comedic cry*
I wish I am tall... so tall that I can trample some good for nothing, towering *ssh*l*s!
*emotional*
D*mn it! Why am I so small?
Huhhhhuhuh!!!
. . .
"That's enough, crybaby b*st*rd!?"
- my thoughts rants, comically.
*teary*
"Are you just going to cry there and do nothing??.... *tch!* C'mon dude! You're a man, are you? So... DON'T YOU DARE CRY like a WIMPY f*ck*r!!?"
- my thoughts rants.
. . .
"But.... but...."
- I said hesitantly, funnily.
"DUDE??! ARE YOU LISTENING OR WHAT???! Geez!.... *sigh*... Okay, I'll give you some pointers. A pointers which will help you cope up things."
- my thoughts said with a smug.
"Okay, okay.... I'm all ears."
- I responded.
. . .
"Alright... So, here's the thing... I... Don't wanna repeat it so, listen carefully lad."
- my thoughts said in a sneaky way.
. . .
I listened to my thoughts carefully of what were his recommendation or suggestion of my next move.
I tightened my focus, trying to listen to my thoughts.
. . .
I'm f*ck*ng serious! Really!?... I'm... Not joking, okay? I'm dead serious.
. . .
So, my thoughts started to say something.
"Just....."
- my thoughts said.
*Alucard's listening*
"Act like any other kid, you bozo!"
- my thoughts said.
*quack!*
*Alucard's mind went blank*
"Don't act like like you're somewhat an adult, you piece of sh*t! Act childish! Wahahahahahah!"
- my thoughts said in an insulting way.
*crow of disappoinment*
. . .
. . .
. . .
. . .
You.....
. . .
*tch!*
VERMIN!!!!
*nape slap*
"What the-!? YOU HOLY SON OF M*TH*RF*CK*NG B*TCH!!? What the F*ck's that??! Ouch!"
- my thoughts rants.
"Don't... you ever... MADE ME BELIEVE SOME OF YOUR B*LLSH*TS, YOU CUNNY F*CK*R??! I... I thought your gonna say something crucial but... WHAT THE F*CK??! You just-!!"
- I said angrily towards my thoughts, funnily.
"YOU'RE A FOOL! Can't you see I'm also dead serious upon saying that??! Why would I plot something from you? ! Your are me and I am you! We reside in one body and one mind... How could I betray my other self??! F*CK YOU!!!"
- my thoughts said.
*quack!*
"Wait... you're serious upon saying that?"
- I ask funnily.
"Wha-!? UNBELIEVABLE!!! SUCH IMPRUDENCE! Did you seriously think of that way? Me? You self-doubt yourself???! *tch!* That's ridiculous of you.... Can you tell the difference of the two??! The truth and the jokes?... *sigh*... Oh boy..."
- my thoughts lecturing me.
"Anyway, I can't believe I'll repeat my words again... Geez... Can't be help... I'm talking to my dumb self afterall."
- my thoughts said in disappointment, funnily.
Heheheheheheheh!
"Okay.... Alucard, stop overthinking things okay? Just... do what you think is right. The decisions and actions are all yours to decide."
- my thoughts said.
"So, that's it.. That's all I'm gonna say. *sigh* I'd better stop interrupting your 'dumb' mindset for now... Goodbye, and SCREW YOU!!!!"
- my thoughts bid farewell.
. . .
*Alucard's thoughts funnily left him*
. . .
*cricket*
Okay... That's.... Unexpected reaction....
. . .
So, okay!
*clap*
It's time to act childish!
. . . .
HERE.... WE... GOO!!!!
. . .
Narrator's POV:
So, just like any other kid, Alucard approaches the glass of milk, which is placed at the top of the table with excitement.
. . .
Alucard tried to reach the milk but sadly, it's too high to reach.
*brainstorming Alucard*
He can't do anything with his poor height and so, he start thinking about how to reach the top of the table and drink the milk.
*Aha!*
. . .
