It was raining, the clouds had engulfed the skies plunging it into darked blue-grayish color. raindrops were hitting the ground, some were even starting to make puddles with them increasing at a large amount.
However, down, we can see a number of people in battle, one of them stood out from the rest. Her brown colored hair, her golden-brownish eyes, her red and white kimono was wet, her expression was of fear and exhaustion, she was surrounded by an army of bandits.
'Everyone's worn out from the battle with Nobanaga, and this rain...' She thought, her soldiers exhausted, if their panting was anything to go by.
'And these bandits are strong, too. At this rate we'll lose... And we're so close to the capital.' She looked back at her soldiers and on to the bandits that surrounded them. Her eyes were close to tears, she's helpless, there was nothing she could do.
"You have no strength. No wit. You're just a plain wreak, so give up already." Nobanaga's voice reminded her.
'Yes. I'm weak, like Nobanaga said... Pathetic...' The words hurt her, yet she knew they were true.
'Like now, we'd have made it through much better, had Takeru been in command... I'm the worst, most useless, helpless...' Her mood turned bad to worst, as it seemed like all hope was lost...
'But.'
"So you knew, but didn't want to admit it. But good for you. Now you can finally give it all up and go down a different path, hahahahaha." Nobanaga's voice once again reminded her.
'But even I had a dream. I found a goal I wanted to reach and because of it, I had everyone fight, and suffer..' And if it was possible, she felt even worst.
'And for that, I need a solution, something that even I can do right now.' And there, the hope that was lost, reignited through her determination.
'I haven't done anything yet. I just can't give up here, I need to do something, something, anything! For me... For everyone!' She screamed in her mind, so much so that she didn't noticed the bandits' archers aiming their bows and reeled back their arrows.
"Lady Himiko!" Twi of her soldiers screamed getting the attention of their queen as she saw the arrows fly through the air.
'What!' She thought as the arrows drew closer yet slower as if time was going slow then it should be.
"Am I... Going to die here? Without having accomplished anything... I haven't even taken the first step towards achieving my dream...!' She concluded in her mind as tear ran down her face.
"No... No... Noooo!" She screamed in absolute disbelief, time moved normally and the arrows hastened their speed coming ever closer to Himiko and her solders, and when they were 10m away from them...
A small aruze blue fire appeared between the arrows and their targets...
*Thunder!*
*Fire Whoosh!*
*Wind Pressure!*
...The arrows were thrown off their trajectory, with the majority of them burning when in contact to the now massive aruze flames...
"Haha..." The black figure chuckled as the arrows couldn't break through their flames, Himiko was perplexed by the sudden appearance of her saviour.
'Who is it? Why did they save me?' The question went through her head, as she saw her saviour's back with her soldiers having the same surprised state, some of them were able to snap out of it and came close to their qween.
"Lady Himiko! Are you alright!"
"Who is he?"
"He came out of nowhere!"
"Is he... Is he a saviour?"
Yes.
"Yes! He is a saviour! Everyone we have been blessed by good fortune and has been saved by our saviour! Now we can show these bandits what the Himiko Army is made!" She rallied her troops causing them to shout in hope as their energy was refreshed. However, before she or her soldiers could do anything, their saviour lifted his hand stopping them.
He turned his hand slightly showing them his wavy black hair, a strange black and white bird mask covered his face leaving the mouth and forehead exposed, but what was the real eye-catching thing about his face, was his eyes, they were the color of red, crimson red color looked back at them.
He had a smirk on his face as he stared at the people he saved, they were mesmerized by his powerful gaze and yet, they felt safe under his watchful eyes, he gave them a soft smile as if he was saying, 'Rest, I can take it from here.' and so they did.
Their saviour turned his attention to the bandits, they haven't moved a muscle since he appeared, good, he wanted to see their face after he quickly dispatch them. He took a step forward causing some of the bandits to flinch and back away.
"I don't like this!"
"Something doesn't feel right! And he's bad news!"
"What do you mean! Stop whining and get him!" The bandit leader shouted to her troops snapping them out of their temporary fear, but it was all for nought, as the black haired person disappeared and reappeared behind them.
One second passed, and all of the bandits weapons were in pieces, their faces turned to their enemy and saw him put back a knife into his black trench coat, he slowly turned around smirking as he saw their feared expression.
"I'm out of here!"
"Wait! I'm coming with you!"
"I don't want to die this early in my life!" Then one by one, the bandits left, running to safety as the black haired person saw them scrambling, he let out a soft sigh as he walked to the people he saved.
Himiko, who watched the whole thing unfold held a surprised look on her face, her saviour stepped up close to her soldiers and herself, he smiled softly as he stared at Himiko.
"Who, who are you?" She asked, his smile grew slightly as he took out both his hands out of his pockets spread them wide, his red gloved flicked with the same aruze flame.
He gave one last smile before answering Himiko's question.
"I, Lady Himiko, have came aid you, for I am a Trickster Of Humanity, I am Ren Amamiya!" Ren declared as his mask erupted in blue flames prompting the same colored flames to erupt from underneath his feet. Showing them a beautiful display of a fire dance, his eyes now glowed with his smile turning into a smirk of confidence.
And thus, the story of a Trickster's World Conquest, begins...
This just came into my head, lol.
