2. Grigori

Something had drawn him to the village. Maybe some memory of his previous life, a life that had lead him all over the world. From Meloire to Voldoa to Gransys and even farther. Or maybe it was simply coincidence that Cassardis had been his destination. In the end, it did not matter. Grigori had selected her, the one who had tried to save her village—and ultimately succeeded. He had left the village virtually untouched. Not counting the loss of lives.

Grigori shifted in his nest within the forgotten depths of the Greatwall, huffing simply to watch the smoke puff from his nose and curl into the air. He could hardly remember what it was like to be human, too feel, especially to feel such a great loss as the loss of human lives. All he could feel was the burning need inside of him to be defeated, made only worse by the tiny human heart that beat within his chest, but did not influence him in the way it had its owner—the way it would influence her again, if she were to beat him.

He had been surprised that it had been her, as tiny as she was. As small and petite as one could be, but with the airs and graces of an eighteen year old. She had picked up the sword with no hesitation, holding it between hands that trembled.

Grigori had barely felt the slashes to his paws, but when the sword had gotten stuck in his palm—and the small human had gone skipping across the sand—he had known that this one would be the one. His Arisen. And she would be defeated, or he would.

He had the chance to be defeated, and it tasted sweet in his mouth. He could feel her progress, still new and barely starting, still trying to figure out what had happened and her new station in life. To defeat him or to be defeated by him. She would learn.

In the meantime, Grigori shifted, closed his eyes, and fell asleep, her heart beating warmly within him.

I don't know how quickly I'll update, it just depends on how I feel to write, if I'm watching The X-Files, or if I'm actually playing Dragon's Dogma, which I do a lot. There will be about 30-ish chapters from what I can tell, and, like I said in the previous chapter, I do have at least a base for what each chapter will hold.

Unedited: 351 words

Either way, hope you enjoyed. Until next time.
