Chapter 1: A One Hell Of "Ordinary" Day.
Somewhere in a town, the day just felt like the same from the other day. People are doing their activities to continue their ordinary life. The fathers work on outside, chopping of wood before they sell it to market, the others continue their farming or working in blacksmith to forge weapons for soldiers. While their wife work in their house doing their house chore with their daughter. The outside is full of boys playing with their buddies, some of them playing soccer on the wide grass field, or just sit around the corner of the streets and chit-chat about the hottest girl around... Just like the same.
"Tsk, what a nice boring day. No wonder why the world looks so dumb nowadays!" said a boy with silver white hair in a annoying tone. He wore a red jacket with black shirt underneath. His piercing icy blue eyes gaze lazily toward the town while lying in the grass field with his hands folded behind his head.
"Can't argue with that Dante, i always hope something is happening.. *sigh" another boy replied. He had short blonde hair with the silvery eyes. He wore a blue sleevless shirt. He sat back on the grass beside his friend.
"Guess we're in the same boat then, Ted!" said Dante with a grinn. "You live in this world only once, i can't bare myself doing the same thing over and over again only to rot here"
Ted chuckles hearing Dante's remark. "Well, did you have any idea to blow some steam off?" he glances to Dante while raising one of his eyebrow.
"I dunno, we have done already many things, like go to a random pub only to pissing off jerk people. Got into a fight with street thugs, challenging the orc, flirting with cute girls... Strangely i'm still not feel satisfied yet" said Dante while he stare at the sky.
Ted does a thinking pose momentary "Did you know about the rumour. About every 4 years in a row, two children from each village are taken by the mysterious School Master to be enrolled in a School that will train them to be fairy tail characters?"
"Yeah, it seems people were talking about that recently. So what's the deal? Is that realy matter?"
"Of course, it would be nice if i can enrolled in that School, got my own story and became legend"
"You think so wouldn't you"
"Shamely, many parents are too afraid to lose their children... Some of them never return after being taken to that school"
Dante lightly chuckles "Heh... Sounds like another lame story for me to look up thou"
"Yeah, did you ever thinking what would you wanna be if you become a fairy tale character? mine is to became a prince. A hero for his people. Then marrying a beautiful princess with kind heart. And rule my Kingdom peacefully" said Ted proudly. Like most teenagers in general he always dreamed to become that kind of role. A handsome prince which save his love... Who else could it be other than his "princess", the so-called lovely woman with her elegant beauty and of course, has tremendous amount of kindness. And many of good fairy characters would die for the "princess", including Ted sadly..
"Huh, that kind of life-line seems so shallow for me. If i were a fairy character i will make sure that i'm not became that sparkle prince like that!" said Dante with a shrug.
Ted's brow twitched "Why? Isn't that great to be a prince, you got everything you need. I mean you own a kingdom with abundant treasures, loyal peoples, and the best love you ever get."
"Guess our point of view is different Ted, maybe that kind of life is suitable for you. You thinks like that because that's exactly what you plan. But i have my own too you know.."
"And what is that?" asked Ted.
Dante staring to Ted right on his eyes "To become a devil hunter.. a mercenary that dedicated to exterminate dark entities. That's what i would become. Besides, I like to wandering around, seeing new places, and the world is very huge Ted, i don't like to stay still in here. Besides, i need to get some clues regarding of my mother's killer. Being a devil hunter, maybe i could find those demons that responsible for her death."
"Are you crazy dude? Those things can kill you. They are feral and deadly, even the well trained soldiers still fall victims to them."
Dante smirked, of course his friend would never know that he already faced against the so-called demon in the middle of the night. The times when he wandering alone secretly in the forest. "Coz they are not good enough." he retorted
"I know you are more than capable to handle yourself. But it need a lot of man power to even kill one of them, it's not your typical foes like the orc, goblin, werewolf or whatever beasts we had faced out there" explain Ted to put some sense to his friend.
"Trust me, i knew what am doing.. and i'm not changing my mind. You have your own goal and so i am. Better get something catchy Ted, my fingers going numb." Dante lift up his body then began stretching his arms up.
"Heh.. Though you never asked" Ted move out from the grass. Just before they gonna took a step someone shouted panickly.
"Aaaahh! "
Dante and Ted glances to the source of the voice instinctively. A female merchant with horse-drawn carriage is being intercepted by a bunch of bandits. Apparently they are the most feared hooligan gang out there. All citizen were afraid of them, they don't want to take the risk because the gang were armed with dangerous weapon. The least they could do, is to pray that the royal troops will come to save the victim.
The poor woman felt shudder, felt hopeless. As the bandits keeps closer to her with all their swords and bows aimed to her. She must be unlucky today.
Then one of the bandit approaching to her, seems like he is their pack leader. With the sword aiming toward her neck. "Give away your goods lady, or say goodbye to your dear life." said the bandit leader.
The merchant kneeled before the bandit leader, beg for mercy "Please let me go, my children is starving in my house right now. I'm in economic crisis, if you took them away then how do we gonna continue our living?" sobbed the merchant.
"That's your problem old hag! Give it now or DIE" shout the bandit leader, bewildered.
"HYAAH! PLEASE DON'T!" the merchant shut her eyes
"Grrr.. ITS YOUR CHOICE THEN!" he began to draw his sword, ready to slit the merchant throat.
Just before the tip of the sword tearing the neck a brick hit the leader's face. He fall to his back, roaring in pain. The bandits are startled and so does the merchant.
"How dare someone threw a brick to our Boss?" said one of the bandit
"Show your self asshole!" another bandit spoke up
Then two figure are walking toward them slowly. The bandits are staring at the unexpected guest. Revealed to be some young teenagers. They have a sword leaned on their shoulder.
"Look what do we have here pal, a bunch of sissies who pick on helpless old woman. Realy dude.. Don't you have any hobbies other than forcibly took the expense of others" Dante taunted
"Insolent fools.. I will make sure you suffer the consequences for doing this" said Ted angrily, irritated by their action.
"you'll regret this pathethic punk!" said the bandit.
Some bandits draw their swords out in sync motion, begin to charge at them. Dante deflect the incoming attack of one of the bandit easily, grab the bandit's shoulder then stab his sword through the bandit's gut. Another angry bandit come on his side managing to slice Dante's arm. Dante tilted his body quickly makes the sword miss. He pull out his sword from the fallen body and did some several quick slash on the bandit's torso making him screaming in agony. Another one trying to sneak attack from Dante's behind, attempt to stab him. But Dante quickly recover to anticipate the ambush, duck down his body to tackle beneath the bandit's feet. Then thrust down his sword to the chest. Killed the bandit instantly.
Several bandits circling Ted.. One of them began his move, Ted blocked the attack just in time then knocked him off by a kick to his ball, causing him staggered back. Another bandit charging forward but Ted slashed him first through his gut. Then rush toward the 3rd bandit with a clean strike to the neck. One of the bandits shoot an arrow to Ted's back, only to be catched by Dante's hand.
"I got your back, mate!" Dante winked his eye
"Thanks!" Ted replied
They rush toward the remaining bad guys and finish them quickly, ending their evil scheme. The merchant's eyes became widden, she keep staring with disbelief of what just happened. At least, the bandit's leader recovered from the previous brick attack. So she just froze on her place.
"You puny pathetic brats, how dare you do this to us! I will make you pay for this!" the bandit's leader drew his cutlass sword.
"I'll handle him" Dante make a gesture to Ted to stay still. Ted just stare blankly at Dante momentary then nod his head. Dante took a step toward the bandit leader.
"You think you can break me tiny boy, i'm more experienced than you and i will make sure you die horribly in pain than you ever imagine."
"Well, i'm actually like to see you to do that.." Dante taunted back cockyly
They both rush forward with the sword readied in their arm. Dante swing his sword to meet with the bandit's. They sword are clashing, pushing each other. It seems non of them gain an upperhand. So Dante spun around his heel and let off his sword causing the bandit leader stumbled forward, Dante make a quick cut to his side. "Ugh!" the bandit leader fell down with one knee. He feels his temper increasingly escalate. "I'm not gonna down by such a brat like you! HEEARGH!" he attacking Dante again. This time his movement becomes erratic due to being injured and fatigue. Dante evade his attack easily as he blocking, parrying and simply dodging the bandit until he decide to hit him. Dante's attack is light but quick, many cuts wound all over the bandit's arms, torso and his leg. The bandit leader panting heavily caused by loss of blood. "AAARGH! SCREW THIS" he pick his flintlock pistol from his holster then aimed at Dante "If i'm going to die... I'm gonna bring you with me.. Hahahahha!" said the bandit leader maniacally.
"Oww... Not so cool for someone dying word" said Dante unflinched. He take a caution to the bandit's index finger at the gun's trigger.
"Moron! You're gonna die!" he shot his gun at Dante. Anticipated the outcome from the bandit's index finger movement at the gun's trigger, Dante manage to roll to the side quickly evading the bullet then doing dash forward as the bandit firing his next round. Dante's instinct react more faster as he ducked down his body then close the gap between him and the bandit leader. Its in pointblank range now, the flintlock's barrel is close in front of Dante as everything becomes slow motion around them. Fortunately, the tip of Dante's sword reach the bandit's gut as he stab him before he could pull another trigger. Knocking out the bandit's life as Dante pulled out his sword.
"It's fine now ma'am, those mofos are down. You are safe" said Dante, trying to reassure the merchant. Ted smiled to her "Are you okay ma'am?" he asked.
The merchant still not reacted, with her mouth still open agape.
"Uuhh..." Dante's face began confused then glances at Ted who glance back at him with the same expression.
"THAT WAS UNBELIEVABLE! You just defeated a dangerous thug group! how did you manage to do that lads?!" said the merchant with enthusiastic voice.
"It's simple.. We just actually good at things like this." said Dante nonchalantly
"We just can't let those jerk do as they please, oppresing people like they are nothing" Ted added
"Ohh sweet, you guys just like in those fairy tale books that i read before. A band of heroes who stood for justice and protect the weak."
"Ahh, thanks for that compliment, actually i'm wanna become a prince ahahaha!" said Ted happily feeling praised.
"You will reach your dream, i'm sure a nice boy like you would become one someday hehe" the merchant gigles lightly making Ted slightly blush.
Dante just rolled his eyes looking at them while mumbling "so melodramatic of you both, just like in fairy tale". He crossed his arm and tapped one of his feet to the ground. Struggling to wait their chatter to finish. A horde of people starting to look at them. Some of them getting impressed by their action but there is peoples who didn't like the violence. Consider it as unwise as it is the job of royal troops.
"So how can i repay you back?" ask the merchant
"Oh you don-"
"You could give us some tasty bread with strawbery sundae inside or something alike" said Dante quickly cut off Ted's word.
"Of course lads, take this as my thanks" the merchant give them a basket full of bread... with strawbery flavour inside of course.
"Thanks ma'am!" said Dante happily with a droll on his mouth, can't wait to chomp down those goodies inside his stomach. While Ted rolled his eyes toward Dante's behavior "Please forgive my buddy here.. he's just like that."
"No problem lad, may the God bless you in your journey" the merchant said her goodbye, parting ways with them. Dante and Ted did a high five move
"Good job dude"
"You too"
"Now we need to divide this breads"
Ted took a bite of the breads "no need, i believe my mom cook some delicious menu in my home. Just save the rest"
Dante grinned widely "Ohh, that's great. As you wish mate!"
"Heh" Ted let out a light chuckles. Then they parted ways to their house. Unknowing of the shadowy black figure that lurking them from afar, observing their early action. Determine what are they capable of. Especially, that cocky silver haired kid who took his interest.
So.. how was it? Please give a review pal ;)
