A/N: This is my first Fanfiction, so any criticism on how to improve my story is much appreciated! One thing before I start, when Esdeath hugged Tatsumi before she died, pretend it didn't happen! Oh, and I'm going to give this an M rating just to be safe, because I may have some lemons for you guys that love that… The pairings I've set up are: MineXTatsumi, for sure and I may add a little WaveXAkame moments if you guys want to see that. Enjoy!
After the fall of the empire, the revolutionary army is busy rebuilding from the vast amount of devastation cause by the Prime Minister and the Emperor. Everything started to take a turn for the better, as the citizens were back in the streets, continuing their daily routines and the outlying villages started receiving the financial support they needed. The lives lost in the struggle for overthrowing the corrupt government, was higher than it had been then most of the battles that had taken place over the centuries, but thankfully it was all over. Or was it…?
A large crash resonated through the streets of a small village approximately fifty kilometres from the outskirts of the Capital, many civilians rushed to their window in an attempt to figure out what was going on. They saw massive hordes of people running down even the most deserted streets, frantically trying to get away from an unknown pursuer. The crowd of people were trampling everything in their path; even potentially they're own friends or neighbours, with their only goal being to make it to the outside of the wooden palisade that surrounded the city. They were just about to make it, when the ground underneath them exploded, launching projectile stone in every direction, tearing the civilians to shreds. A giant Danger Beast in the form of a worm emerged from the subterranean tunnel it had just created, devouring any remaining survivors. That did it; the whole town abandoned their homes, not even bothering to pack. Nobody even noticed the hooded figure, which was standing atop a mountain, appearing as if it were spectating the massacre.
"That was far too easy," the hooded figure said giving off a little laugh, "I wonder how long it will take before they respond to my little intrusion!"
Just about when everything in the town had been destroyed, the figure turned around preparing to leave without giving what he had just done a second thought. As soon as the figure took its first step, all the Danger Beasts suddenly disappeared as if they had never existed.
The remaining population started their long trek to the capital in order to tell someone what had happened to them and their village. They hoped that someday, someone would secure their village so they could commence reconstruction. Little did anyone know that there would be more surprises to come up, not just for them but also for everyone in the newly reformed Capital.
Meanwhile, just outside the Capital…
"Owww, everything in my body hurts," Tatsumi complained attempting to figure out where he was, "wait a minute, why am I in a box…?"
A moment later someone cried out in an attempt to warn the guards, "Bandits are coming!"
