Chapter 5 - The servants beginning

Shin sleeping in the building awakes to the sound of swords clashing. outside the manor voices echo out.

"Catch her a half demon girl will fetch such a good price."

another voice rings out. "Someone help me please!!!" Shins eyes turn to pinpoints awake he grabs a blade by the wall dragging it out towards the sounds.

a man comes from the shadows a spear in hand. "No girl no one will help you a half demon. the enemy of mankind and a human has no place being alive. your worst than a dog." Shins hears this and bites his lip.

the man grabs her and tosses her to the ground stabbing the ground near her head. he grabs her hair whispering into her ear.

"You will be someone's trophy and fetch such a high price at the slave market. you will know hell."

The man kicks her across the ground. "First I'll teach you a lesson I think one of your pretty black wings will do."

The man raises his spear but is stopped a deep cold comes over the air. the girls crying stops as she looks up to see a man in a hoodie with a sword covered in bandages walking from the shadows.

The man speaks. "Hey this is the property of the rayle family, and the grave of my master show some respect you foolish idiot."

The man grimaced and starts laughing."Hahahha are you serious some random guy with no class or identifier? you must be some slave go home doggy." The man smirks walking towards the girl.

The crying girl spreads her wings crying. she screams. "Saave meeeee." The man raises his spear to strike but blood splatters all over the ground his hands fall next to the spear still attached to it.

"I said shut up and be respectful." The man lowers his hood showing its shin. his lip is bleeding from holding his anger towards the words. "save me"." The girl curls up into her wings crying as the man screams. blood spurting from his wounds.

What the hell I'm a second rank Spearman. how did this?" he is pierced by shins sword and kicked to the ground.

"Shut up moron be quiet in other people's homes." Shin walks away his eyes slowly burn with fire as he catches eyes with the girl. he walks over to her.

"Half demon huh? your still half human so I guess you have a chance to be better than that scum who wasn't even human." Shin drops his sword.

"Take this protect yourself in this world the weak either grow strong or die." Shin slowly walks away back to his home.

The girl gets up grabbing the sword. then freezes as she looks at the blood." a man cloaked in shadows appears next to the dead man.Then he looks at the girl with a deep red aura in his eyes..

"Did you do this?"

The man appears in front of her reaching out with his hand when suddenly time freezes.

"Who dares touch the king of slaughters child?" a deep voice echoes from a portal growing by the man's head.

"For such a foolish being only hellish punishment can be acceptable." A dark clawed hand reaches through the portal grabbing the man. time seems to only flow through this point as the man's body is bent inwards. his arms folding and breaking til he can fit into the portal. his legs twisting. a tear flows through the man's eye as a slight vision of the being on the other side comes into view.

A massive demon about nine foot tall with silver hair and jet black feathered wings stands holding him. "A pitiful human touching my kin? foolish, still i wonder what blocked my senses before?"

The demon unfolds the man smiling with a glint in his eye. "Oh the fun we will have human." he laughs as we fade back to the girl.

time resumed and another man walks towards her. this time it is hawk. the girl trembles pointing the sword at hawk unfurling her wings.

"S-stay back I'll kill you I swear!!" Hawk smirks lifting up his blindfold.

"Girl I like your spirit." he lifts his hand towards her and a wave of force pushes out towards her knocking her unconcious. "You will make a fine guard in my stead. a portal opens by Hawks head and a hand reaches out again. hawk severest the hand while simultaneously breaking the portal.

"Filthy demon kings this isn't the time for your playing." The hand is pulled back seeing the same demon on the throne. his hand starts smoking and regenerating.

"What a fascinating mortal to inflict such damage on me without powers. I guess I'll leave her in his hands for now."

[Back to the house shin is staying in.]

A white feather falls on the open window. another voice echoes through the night as shin sleeps.

"Fate isn't a simple thing. will this turn into a tragedy, or will you protect them? all I can hope for is for you to do your best." The voice echoes as a shadow flies into the night sky.
