A/N: I do not own any of Legend of the Legendary Heroes or the Characters. I only own my OC's.

My name is Axel. I am the ten-year-old leader of Fifty-Nine other magic eye bearers. My eye type is the Lino Doue. I am the devourer of flesh, though I prefer magic. Humans believe me to be a cannibal, hence why I've had to suffer any abuse at all. Of course, how can I be a cannibal if I'm not human? I only devour humans. It is only the fact that I now have friends that has kept me from losing what little sanity I still possess. My friends saved me.

Now, I am travelling through the forests of Estabul, searching for more magic eye bearers. As I search, I don't pay enough attention to my surroundings. The soldiers take me off guard. It's an ambush. I don't have time to react. They chain my arms together. My legs and head are the only parts of me that remain free.

"Hey, what are you doing? Let me go!" I shout while struggling to get away.

"No. We need you as bait to catch that other monster," the red-haired soldier smirks at me.

I raise my eyebrow, but otherwise, appear indifferent as the soldiers lead me away.

We approach a small, half-destroyed town. I'm still in chains, my struggling ceased. I found out very quickly that struggling earns me the 'pleasure' of getting whipped. I already have a few welts on my back, arms, and the back of my head. They're painful, and without magic or devouring humans, I can't heal myself. I've had worse, though.

My contemplation is halted, though, when we see a man clothed in black walk through the remnants of the town. He's dragging a deceased woman behind him. My eyes widen when I am able to sense who he is. I know he's another Lino Doue bearer.

The red-haired soldier, who I now know to be in charge, orders the others to fire a very powerful spell at the man. The man only looks at the soldiers, smirking as he waits to feed on the power of the spell.

When the spell disappears, having been consumed by the man, he leaps high in the air towards us and moves up behind a weaker soldier. He quickly disposes of that one and makes to leave.

The red-haired soldier grabs me roughly by the hair. Turning to the man, he smirks. "Leaving already? What a pity you won't be able to save this monster! Show him your eyes!" The red-haired soldier speaks directly to me as he says this.

"Why should I? You'd kill me anyway!" I scoff.

The red-haired soldier waves to a lackey, the lackey with the cursed whip. On the red-haired soldier's signal, the lackey swings the whip down hard onto my poor back, head, arms, and now legs.

I flinch, the pain from the whip not as strong as the pain from the humiliation. My eyes burn with anger as I finally allow the Lino Doue to rise within them. I whip myself around quickly and devour the lackey. The power from feeding quickly heals my wounds.

The other soldiers are rendered useless from the shock of watching me devour one of their comrades right in front of them. I use that shock to my advantage. I quickly break the chains that bind me and put a little distance between me and them.

I am now right next to the other Lino Doue bearer. He also appears somewhat surprised by me being anything more than human. I pay little mind to that, though, as I face the pitiful humans. One of the dumber of the lot fires a spell at me, which I quickly devour. It's not very satisfying, though. Hardly any power to be had. I sigh. "This is pointless." After another dumb soldier fires a spell at me, I devour the spell and use the power to make a hasty escape.

I'm not surprised when, mere minutes later, the man catches up to me. "Wait," he speaks up.

I stop my sprinting and turn to him. "So, what is your name?" I ask.

"My name is Tiir Rumibul. And your name?" Tiir asks.

"My name is Axel. As you've probably surmised from what transpired back there, I'm an Lino Doue bearer." I respond. I look up. It's midday. "I need to return to my friends. There's barely enough time as it is."

"You have friends?" Tiir appears surprised by this revelation.

"Yes. I lead Fifty-Nine other magic eye bearers. There's a pretty healthy mix: mainly Alpha Stigma bearers, with a few other Lino Doue, Ebra Crypt, Will Heim, and two with the Torch Curse." I explain.

Tiir nods his head once, accepting this revelation. "Would you and your friends like to come with me? I'm going to get an Alpha Stigma bearer, but after that, we could go to your friends and bring them along," Tiir suggests.

I look down with furrowed eyebrows. "I don't know. I'm pretty low on energy and I'm not sure what use I can be. I didn't get any powerful spells thrown at me to devour back there," I point out.

"Well, we can find you a few humans along the way if you'd like," Tiir replies.

After a moment of thought, I nod my head. "Alright," I respond to Tiir's latest suggestion. Together, we head off to find me a couple of the pitiful human scum to devour.
