"nice carriage"
-"shut up"
"OUCH"
hil was brutally pushed into a carriage drawn by 2 horses. he wasnt alone there, the leader of the group of girls was with him at the back and the 2 other women were at the front tending to the horses.
the leader woman had short, brown hair that barely reached her neck. her body was fit and looked like shes training regularly. her eyes were blue and werent fit for her looks.
'well i prefer them with bigger personalities but this one is fine as well i guess'.
there wasnt much to do when you are cuffed and cant quite move but to study the body of the person in front of you wasnt something you would regularly do.
the ride went smoothly. no one talked too much, only hil making advances.
"look at that beautiful flower, is that your sister by any chance?" hil asked the group leader.
"OUCH"
a well earned slap was delivered to his cheek.
when the ride ended hil's cheeks were red and so were the group leader's but she looked annoyed. the leader pushed hil from behind to get him out of the carriage.
"FINE IM GOING WHY DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO PUSH"
"SHUT UP"
the leader was about to slap him but...
"SKILL: REND"
the moment the group leader's hand touched hil's cheek countless cuts appeared all over her hand, wrist and arm.
[ -14 mana ]
"ARGH" the group leader shouted in pain.
"GET HIM, HES GETTING AWAY" she shouted at her teammates.
hil started to run from them. he didnt know where he runs or where to run but he did know he shouldnt let any of the people here catch him.
"hi kid, what are you running from?"
"SKILL: EDGE"
the beautiful purple mist started to form once again in hil's hand but as soon as it started to materialize hil already slashed the person's neck.
[ skill obtained: quick edge ]
[ killed a human, +6 souls ]
the mist cut off the person's head cleanly. too bad that person was a guard, the another guard next to the one hil killed saw it all and started to run after hil as well.
hil ran again and now he had another follower.
'mmm... popularity...' hil thought to himself.
he ran again, this time he searched for a narrow street or a narrow alley so he would lose some of his chasers. he couldnt fine anything like that though, the streets were packed with people and if he tried to also look for such places he would either bump into someone or lose the direction of his chasers and get caught.
'well, im in deep shit. what now.'
he kept running in large circles around the town while having wise thoughts.
'well i mean, they cant do shit to me i am a minor. wait does it also work like that here? what should i eat now that im in town?'
he kept running around and his group of followers grew.
'wait... now that im thinking about this... why there are so many women here? not that im complaining but i think i saw like 3 men while running'
hil thought about it more while running around.
'hmm... it cant be natural... birth rates are 50/50 for the gender most of the times. wait... oh no...'
after thinking about it for along time an enlightenment hit hil and he came to a realization.
[ due to your dedication and hard work your state of mind has improved! +1 mind ]
'I HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE'
hil started to search for the walls of the town. when he found one he walked across it while searching for the gate leading outside. his followers still chased him and because of that the guards wouldnt let him pass the gate.
"SKILL: QUICK EDGE"
hil slashed the guard's neck but there was nothing in his hand. it only looked as if he held a sword but there was nothing. less than a second before the "sword" shoulve slashed the guard's neck a misty purple light shone in the same shape of the sword "edge" and allowed hil to cut the guard's neck.
[ killed a human, +4 souls ]
he kept running towards the gate but 5 guards formed a wall outside the gate. hil was running too fast to stop so he fell after seeing the guards. hil tried to get up but was tackled from behind. a guard caught him and didnt let go of him.
"NO! I WONT BECOME ONE OF YOU!" hil screamed while trying to escape the grip of the guard.
"SKILL: REND"
[ ! user doesnt have enough mana ! ]
'oh god.'
hil couldnt do anything as 10 other people walked towards him, all were armed and armored, all of them were also women. he tried to struggle and escape the guard's grip with his strength but the guard was in such a position that all of her body and armor weight was on hil's poor back. he couldnt hold the weight and fell to the floor. his face was so close to the ground that half of the air he breathed contained dust and sand. 4 women each held a limb and lifted hil, 2 held his arms and the rest held his legs. hil started to shout and throw a tantrum.
"NOOOO. I WONT BECOME ONE OF YOU! LET ME GO! LET ME GO!"
he shouted and did everything in his power to try and escape, fearful of his unknown fate.
a few minutes later they arrived at a big building at the center of the town. the leader girl said something to the girls that were carrying hil and stayed behind. hil was carried to a dark hallway.
the hallway had cells at each side. the cells didnt have doors or a wall but iron bars instead. hil sneaked a look at some of the cells, many people inside looked weak and starved. some were holding out their hands beyond the bars, hoping someone would reach out and grasp their hand.
at the end, hil was thrown into a cell as well. he almost fainted from all the stress and fear so he rested a bit. inside the cell there were a bed, a small hole, a shelf and a small water bucket.
hil lied down on the bed. the thing he was on couldnt be called a bed: it felt as if thousands bugs were crawling under his back and biting him, something got into his eyes the moment he turned his head to the wall. his whole body was itching and he sprung up from the bed after a few seconds.
he couldnt rest on the bed so he decided to try the floor. surprisingly the floor felt more comfortable than the bed. instead of laying down on the floor hil went into a "plank" position and stayed like that for about a minute. after that he collapsed to the floor and fell asleep.
after unknown time, hil was waken up by ice-cold water.
"OI! WAKE UP"
a guard shouted at him from the hallway
"its time to eat! take a shower and go to the hall!"
she left after that and hil could still hear her screams. 'she probably went to wake the other prisoners' he thought.
he got up. hil still couldnt wake up yet so upon getting up from the floor he stumbled. he regained his balanced but still walked around like a drunkard. he got out from the cell which has been opened by the guard. he went to the bathroom. he realized he doesnt know where hes going.
'well im not going to turn around now. people will think i dont know where im going'
he kept going down the hall he was walking in. he turned to random directions, entered and exited random rooms and sometimes he had a feeling as he has already been in some places.
'alright, fuck it, i really dont know where to go. ill just ask someone'
'...'
hil looked around him. he didnt noticed these things upon getting there since he was daydreaming most of the time but now he saw that the room he was in was really dark, there wasnt even a candle, the door behind him was locked and that huge room was filled with junk.
'uh'
"HELP! GUARDS! SOMEONE LOCKED ME IN A STORAGE ROOM! WHAT AM I? A WOMAN?! EVEN WOMEN GET THEIR OWN KITCHEN"
someone tapped on hil's shoulder after he finished everything he had to say.
"AND~ ah" hil stopped after thinking about another clever thing.
the person behind him was a woman as well. she had a sword on her waist and a large stick strapped to her back. she had thick leather clothes and a small hat. hil thought she is some warden here.
"oh good. now, would you get me out of here? i didnt even do anything wrong."
right after he finished talking hil fainted.
