Liebe auf dem Schlachtfeld

The sounds of horse galloping around the village can be heard. Military soldiers are surveying the entire place to find some certain persons. "They did it again ", one of the villagers said. " Those bastards are really needed to be caught and executed. They have been stealing and killing nobles and dukes and aren't even ashamed of their doings", another villager said while staring at a poster of a wanted person. A child was standing, looking at the posters in a board. He looked at his grandpa confused. "Tell me grandpa, who are these persons and why do people hate them? ", he asked his grandpa with curiousity. The old man looked and then smiled at him "You see, my boy. These persons are considered criminals because they have been doing bad deeds. They are said to be the survivors of the Akatsuki tribe who are known for their red eyes.People call them the Crimson bandits."The kids eyes shined in awe." Akatsuki Tribe? Grandpa please tell me more about them! ", the child said with a wide smile plastered on his face. His grandfather chuckled and said, "The Akatsuki is a tribe in the Northern kingdom who is associated with the sun god, Amaterasu. They are strong in the day but gets weak at night and also some of them can live up to 200 years. Their senses are three times stronger than any ordinary human. Nine years ago, the Azuma tribe wanted to join forces with the Akatsuki Tribe to fight the Yukihito Tribe but they refused the proposal. The Azuma tribe got fierce and secretly poisoned the foods they're giving as a gift to the Akatsukis.A lot of them died and the others who are still alive are hunted by the Azumans.Its a miracle to see some sole survivors after the plague."The child began to tear up." So sad... the Azuma tribe must not have done that grandpa.If that has happened then there must have been a reason why they do bad things. They must have been wanting for revenge", the boy said starting to cry. The old man laughed"My boy, revenge isn't always the answer to everything.I know that life isn't fair but there is nothing we can do but keep on living. The world is cruel and that's how it is. I tried to help those poor kids but darkness has surrounded them. I was late and cannot save them."said the man remembering the day he met the Crimson bandits and tried to convince them to quit being criminals and start a new life but failed."I know they'll change someday."Meanwhile at an unknown location on a forest~"Oi you tards, can we just stop for a bit and eat. My tummy's rumbling", a brunette girl said."Will you stop with your complaints Prances before I drag you down the cliff and throw you", a man with platinum blond hair yelled at the girl.The two started fighting and yelling at each other until a black haired man stopped them."Prances,Conrad,stop fighting."The brunette and the man suddenly stopped fighting and looked at their leader. "Sorry Ranga we'll try to keep quiet."Ranga stared at them and frowned," We better hurry.The others are waiting for us.The military dummies are also coming this way.It will be bad for us if they'll find us at night."Prances and Conrad nodded. They hoped to not encounter the soldiers at night because they get weak and they also learned that the soldiers carried some weapons that are made to trap and kill them.Prances remembered the plague seven years ago and couldn't help but think about the Azumans."Something is troubling you, Prances.Tell me what it is", Ranga told the girl after noticing her troubled face.The brunette just signed and looked at her friends."I've been wondering... we have confronted a lot of noble men and dukes to find information of the Azuman's whereabouts but could not find a single detail about them",tears filled her eyes,"If only... If only the headchief didn't accept the gift, we don't have to kill others. If only the Azuma and Yukihito didn't fight,we should have not been involved in that situation and lived a peaceful life."Conrad clenched his fist while Ranga tried to hide his emotions.'We have no choice but to dirty our hands.In order for our tribesmen to have peace in the afterlife,we must kill the devils.After that,we all can go back to our old lives and restore our tribe.The seven of us;Ashar, Conrad, Prances, Akill,Yasui,Sistine and I will avenge all of the Akatsuki who suffered from the Azuman's cruelty.'Ranga thought while staring at the sun setting.
