The city of Kalinsha lay in ruins, its once bustling streets now eerily silent, like a grave that had swallowed the screams of the innocent. The battle with the demi-humans had left its mark, a scar that would take a long time to heal, if it ever could. Half of the city's population was gone, devoured by the Demi humans, their screams still echoing in the minds of the survivors.
Remedios walked through the streets, her eyes scanning the devastation, her heart heavy with grief. She saw people huddled together, their faces gaunt, their eyes sunken, their bodies battered and bruised. They had lost loved ones, seen unspeakable horrors, and were left to deal with the aftermath. The stench of death and destruction hung in the air, a constant reminder of the tragedy that had befallen them.
As she turned a corner, Remedios saw a young girl, no more than ten years old, her eyes vacant, her body covered in bruises, her small frame trembling with fear. The girl's eyes locked onto Remedios, and for a moment, they just stared at each other, the only sound the girl's ragged breathing. Remedios felt a pang of sorrow, her heart aching for the child who had lost her innocence in the most brutal way.
Next to the girl, an old man sat, his face twisted in grief, his eyes red from crying, his body shaking with sobs. He held a small, lifeless body in his arms, his grandchild, perhaps, or his child. Remedios couldn't tell, but she knew that he had lost someone dear to him. The old man's eyes met hers, and Remedios saw the depth of his pain, the despair that had consumed him.
Robots and clones moved through the city, killing and capturing the remaining demi-humans, their cold, mechanical eyes scanning the streets for any signs of demi-humans. They rescued people from the rubble, their condition pitiful, their bodies broken, their spirits crushed. Remedios saw a woman, her leg twisted at an unnatural angle, her face pale, her eyes haunted by the horrors she had seen. She saw a man, his arm missing, his face covered in blood, his eyes vacant, his soul lost.
Edward's army had bringing with them medicine, food, and hope. They set up makeshift hospitals, distributing aid to the survivors, their faces somber, their eyes filled with a deep sadness. Remedios saw Edward himself, his face grave, his shoulders sagging under the weight of responsibility. He moved through the crowds, speaking words of comfort and reassurance, his voice soft, his tone gentle.
As Remedios watched, a woman approached Edward, her eyes fixed on him, her face pale, her body trembling. "Please, My Lord," she begged, her voice barely above a whisper. "You have to do something. You have to stop them. They can't be allowed to win."
Edward's face softened, his eyes filling with compassion. "I know, my dear," he said, his voice gentle. "I'm doing everything I can. We'll rebuild, we'll recover, and we'll make sure that those responsible are punished."
The woman nodded, a small smile on her face, a glimmer of hope in her eyes. Remedios felt a pang of guilt, her hatred for Edward momentarily forgotten. She saw the good that he was doing, the lives that he was saving, and she knew that she had to put aside her differences, at least for now.
As she walked through the city, Remedios saw a woman, her eyes fixed on the devastation, her face pale, her body trembling. The woman's eyes locked onto hers, and Remedios saw the desperation, the need for revenge, the desire for justice.
"Are you a paladin?" the woman asked, her voice barely above a whisper. "This is what the monsters bring. You have to destroy them, Lady Paladin. We can't let them destroy our world."
Remedios nodded, her determination renewed. "I won't let them win," she said, her voice firm. "I'll fight to the end, no matter what it takes. I'll avenge the death of everyones."
The woman's eyes filled with tears, her face crumpling in grief. "P-please," she stammered. "Avenge the death of my husband and children. Show those monsters no mercy."
Remedios's heart went out to the woman, her eyes welling up with tears as she listened to her plea. She saw the pain and the grief etched on the woman's face, and she knew that she had to do something.
"I promise you," Remedios said, her voice firm and resolute. "I will avenge the death of your husband and children. I will show those monsters no mercy."
The woman's eyes locked onto hers, a glimmer of hope flickering in their depths. Remedios saw the desperation, the need for revenge, and she knew that she had to deliver.
As She started to leave, Remedios felt a sense of determination wash over her. She knew that she had to keep fighting, no matter what it took. She had to avenge the death of the innocent, and she had to bring hope back to the people.
Remedios knew that she had to gather her strength, her courage, and her determination, and she had to fight back against the demi-humans.
Remedios looked around, her eyes scanning the devastation, her heart heavy with grief. She saw the ruins of the city, the people huddled together in fear, and she knew that she had to act. She had to fight back, no matter what it took. She had to bring hope back to the people, and she had to make sure that the demi-humans were eradicated.
"I will not rest until the demi-humans are eradicated," Remedios said, her voice firm and resolute. "I will fight to the end, no matter what it takes. I will avenge the death of the innocent, and I will bring hope back to the people for the Holy Queen."
The woman nodded, a small smile on her face, a glimmer of hope in her eyes. Remedios saw the gratitude in her eyes, and she knew that she had made a promise that she would keep.
As she walked away, Remedios felt a sense of determination wash over her. She knew that she had to keep fighting, no matter what it took. She had to avenge the death of the innocent, and They had to bring hope back to the people. The battle was far from over. They have to fight, to avenge, and to bring justice to the people of Holy Kingdom.
