HELLO. I like Zenonia, and Ecne, and fanfiction. Because of this you lucky people get to read the obscure love child of all of these things. I will make it better I swear. Enjoy!
Ecne felt the familiar kick of the gun as it threw the final bullet into the dying Mukaka. It's eyes bulged and its arms spayed out as it smashed into ground. She felt a pang of guilt as she knelt down and began to loot the monsters corpse.
The Mukaka lacked a particular frightening appearance, and it's attacks while powerful, looked rather adorable. Still despite its innocent appearance, the creature was becoming a large threat to the people of Deva castle and had to be killed before it could hurt anyone.
Brushing the mud and grass off her knees Ecne stood up and began walking back through the brightly lite forest to report the success of her task, and collect her reward. She absentmindedly shot down the monsters in her path while she enjoyed the sights and smell of the forest, all of her former qualms pushed to the back of her mind. She killed monsters. She collected money. She got stronger. And then killed more monsters. Working hard day and night all for the greater good. For the rest of her life. Ecne stopped and frowned.
The rest of her life? Did she really want to be a hero, a slave to the people her whole life? It wasn't that she didn't enjoy helping people, but ever since this Gem business started she had no longer been permitted to just live.
Still there was little else for her to do. She loved treasure hunting, but returning to it felt like trading one master for another. Wait! What was she thinking! She loved being a hero. She loved the excitement of treasure hunting. She shook her head and continued back to the town when a sweet sticky smell filled her nose and mouth. She felt her brian cloud, and turned around. Forgot treasure! Forget the people! From now until she died Ecne was living for herself!
Far from everything she would live in the forest.
