"Mercy"
By Nidonemo
::Nido exits the Selbina gates and heads across the white burning sands that are the Valkurm Dunes, towards the La Theine Plateau zone. He is halfway there when he is ambushed by a Goblin Tinkerer and a Goblin Gambler.::
Drax: Well, well, well, Zan. What do we have here?
Zan: It appears to be a Tarutaru, all alone too.
Drax: Tsk, tsk...doesn't he know that it is far too dangerous to be traveling alone in this area?
::Suddenly, the pair jumps toward the Tarutaru, who suddenly raises both hands::
Nido: BIND! SLEEP!
Drax: What the!?
Zan: Zzzz....
Nido: You have no idea who you're dealing with...do you?
Drax: HUH!?
::Nido walks calmly over to the sleeping Goblin Gambler::
Nido: They call me the Feral Taru of Windurst...
::Nido raises one hand and the Gambler rises into the air, and he awakens::
Zan: Hunh...what? What the hell?!
::Nido's eyes narrow, and the Gambler clutches his chest::
Zan: My....my heart! It's AAUUUUUUGH!
::There is a muffled splattering sound and the Gambler's body goes limp, he falls to the sand below and lands upon his knees, his eyes wide in terror, he falls face first upon the dune. Slowly his mask turns dark scarlet, blood seeps from the mask and stains the white sand red.::
Drax: No...
Nido: In Sarutabaruta I am called a demon...in Tahronghi I am known as the Tarutaru of Death...every Yagudo in Giddeus knows my name...and fears it!
::Nido walks toward the Goblin Tinkerer, who is struggling to move::
Nido: Now...
::The Tarutaru reveals a dagger from beneath his robes::
Nido: ...what do you to finding out as to just how I earned such titles across the region?
::Nido unsheathes the dagger and holds the blade to the Goblin Tinkerer's throat. He whimpers slightly::
Drax: Please...
Nido: What? What is that you say?
::The Goblin begins to cry::
Drax: Please...spare me...I beg of you...spare my worthless soul...please...
Nido: Do you think you are the first to beg for your life?
Drax: ...no sir...
Nido: Do you consider yourself worthy of my mercy?
Drax: ...-sob-...
Nido: Answer me!
Drax: ...no sir! -sob-
::Nido raises the dagger's blade to the Goblin Tinkerer's throat::
Drax: ...before you kill me...
::Nido lowers the dagger's blade::
Nido: Yes?
Drax: ...I have one last question...
Nido: What is the answer you seek?
Drax: ...have you ever spared anyone's life?
Nido: Yes...one...
::Nido swiftly takes the hilt of the dagger and bashes the Goblin Tinkerer upon the head, the Tinkerer falls to the sands, unconscious. Hours later, the Tinkerer awakens to find himself alone. The moon has risen and stars scatter about the night sky.
Drax: Huh?!
::The Tinkerer looks around in a panic, Nido is nowhere to be seen::
Drax: ...he...he spared me...he spared me!
::He begins to laugh, tears of joy stream down his metal helmet. So thankful and happy to be alive::
-End-
