[Greece/ Eastern Outskirts of Hoperri village/ 181 BC]
'They're going to arrive in an hour or so, I can still warn.... What should I do?' David was torn between two decisions, never in his new life had he must make a choice.
"Save, Erisotle....or warn either Maximus maybe even sir Crans...."
===============
For years, Hoperri village have seen wars and have even been through wars multiple times. But never before, even once did they brought the war back home from the battlefield,
but now it's different for the first time in 30 years, the village will now face something entirely different from what they had: a battle far from the battlefield, but is near their beloved homeland.
===============
[Near the Hoperri Coliseum's Gates]
In the streets of the village, a fast force pushed through all the obstacles in the middle of the street and it's headed straight to the Coliseum, it was David.
"I need to warn them!", David didn't care if people found out he was a beast from the realm of [Chaos], all he thinks about that he must absolutely notify atleast one of the knights, so he used everybit of his power; he runs faster than a horse, jumps easily over walls, and crash through every cart or stalls on his way,
The soldiers that guards the gates outside of the Coliseum, saw something fast ahead of them and before they could readily raised their spears, they froze in utter disbelief as they recognized it "What in the Gods' name?!", it was the boy who's mostly quarreling with Maxicrus, David,
But as they froze from the disbelief of the boy's speed, they didn't realize sooner that he had already reached past them and blast through the gate as if it was a thin plank of wood.
After one second of thought they called to him, or more precisely, shouted "Get Back Here!!... Kirill, alarm the others about the boy!" he quickly told his friend, who complied and ran to tell the others
==================
[Inside the Coliseum of Hoperri village]
David was running around trying to find someone who he could relay the warning to everyone, "Have you seen where sir Crans is?" and currently he thinks that only Crans could do that,
After an hour of hoping, desperate searching, and asking passers whilst avoiding guards who seemed to be trying to catch him, David finally found out "He's in the cellar where they keep storage and discharge waste to the canal outside the Coliseum", he was hinted to it by a maid of a high-profiled citizen.
As David entered the cellar he immediately saw Crans, "Sir Crans! We need to--" his words were cut short as he jumps to the side to dodge a spear, "you are hereby in custody for damaging multiple street stalls, destroying the Coliseum gates, avoiding arrest from soldiers, and harm against others" The man said as he unsheathed his Roman [Blade]
"W-wait! I'm here to warn you about the warships heading towards the dock, there seems to be no guards posted on the docks and they're about to arrive any minute now!" David frantically said stumbling over some words and forgetting to apologize about the damage he caused.
"And why should we be worried it's just warships--" Crans remark was stopped as David added "they're enemy warships! The ones that the Persians use!" to that, Crans put on a serious face, "If what you say is true then lead the way" the Veteran said as he walked forth, David was relieved so he was ready to show the way--
*[Shiik, Drip]*
David widened his eyes as a dagger; that is designed in swivels like a snake pierced through his stomach, it was laced with a purple sticky substance, his mind was running rampant with thoughts,
But a cold voice made it clear to him "Quite unfortunate, you would have made a perfect obedient monster, I would've thought that when you saw those ships you wouldn't care about anyone from this place die,
but it seems that you have been smothered by the morals of humanity, what a selfless act of trying to warn everyone here" Crans said as he grabbed the boy by the neck, threw him into a pit full of carcasses and corpses,
David mustered all his will to ignore the pain as he try to pulls out the dagger, but the pain was too much "Ahh... Gugh...ummff" he bit his lip from the amount of pain, alas he was still human in mind though he could regenerate, that doesn't mean he's all powerful as he could still feel pain, he has a body of a child making the pain unbearable for him as well.
"it's hopeless you know? That dagger is laced with the poison from a [Manticore]'s stinger, that could kill 30 men with just a drop of it inside a barrel of wine.
In summary, give up you fool, you are only making it worse for you, though you're some kind of a monster or just a halfling of one, I know for sure that you still wouldn't be able to survive with your thin and small body" Crans said but during the midway of his long reverie he changed accent and even spoke a different language that David didn't even know.
"Curse you, you bastard traitor" David glares at the senile man with malice,
"Traitor? You're truly are a fool like the rest of you, for I was never with the Roman Empire, I was just a prisoner who worked my way up, I've been and will always be Cyrus the Old Prince of the [Suleucid Empire]!,
And with this attack on this barbaric village, I will secure my spot as the next king of Persia after I kill every single man, women and child in this land, and no one will stop me especially an abomination like you" the man who was Crans yelled like a madman.
David was furious so he tried to stand up and failed, so he crawled on the mound of corpses out of the pit, Cyrus didn't stop him instead but just watch as the boy crawled weakly to his feet,
"Hmph, pathetic..." Cyrus was about to stomp on the boys head but he unexpectedly rolled away from the spot and bit Cyrus' ankle "--Ahhhh!! You mangy mutt!"
David used every last bit of his power as he slammed his palm onto Cyrus' shin which broke like a branch, while the man was howling in agony as he fell on his back raising his foot away from David,
David was losing consciousness at a rapid pace as he gurgles out blood from his mouth in a matter of seconds after letting go of Cyrus' leg, 'I will die the second time... I haven't even lived the fullest or atoned to my sins in this life,
Maybe this is my punishment: I met people and got to know them for 8 years, live in a world of mythology, have someone to call family and a place to call home, only to lose it within a decade.... I....--', "--failed to save anything" he spoke the last words with his mouth full of blood, David closed his eyes as he embraced death but his peaceful thoughts were ruined as he felt Cyrus dragging him while the man was limping,
The madman tossed David into the deep end of the pit this time, "See you in the [Underworld]!" with his last string of will, David heard those words yelled at him.
