Red nightmare pt1
-Oh no!!Rose said as she woke up suddenly from her bed. The cold wind was blowing through the broken window that was next to her. However, no matter how cold the room was,her forehead was full of sweat. It had been a long time since she last saw a dream. Until yesterday...Was it because from the magic choker? Or it was a very long time since she last rested so well? Whatever the reason might have been, she was feeling uneasy.
-Zieg...she sighed with an expression of sadness. then she added:
I would follow you to whatever end if i ever saw you again. But it is just a dream...And I don't know where I am.
Rose got up from the bed and stretched her body. Red sun was rising, revealing that blood had been spoiled last night. All those screams of pain and terror still echoed in her ears...
(The previous night...)
Rose was flying for many hours, but she could not detect the location of the moonchild yet. All that she knew was that it was about to be born. She had clearly foreseen the picture of that baby by the time she wore her magic choker, but as long as her eyes remained dark violet it would take her some more time. Suddenly, she remembered of an isolated location in the most south-west part of Endiness. After the Dragon Campaign, less and less ships were coming to stop by because it was thought that no one was living there anymore. However, it was not true, because the village of Sein was not involved in the Dragon Campaign at all. Those people only wished to live peaceful lives full of struggle and joy. They were poor, but also had honesty, pride and dignity. Although Rose did not know anything more about that village, she decided to stop by. As she was flying very high in the sky, her eyes turnt red. So, fate had chosen that remote village to perish forever, since she would destroy everything. There was a vast green forest lying around the village so that it could not be detected by flying. Also, this forest had been some kind of protection to the village, because it was full of mist so that strangers might easily lose their way. Rose landed on that forest, wondering which way to go. It was pretty confusing and difficult to choose, but she knew that her instict would lead her the right way. She needed to let her wings rest for a while, due to the fact that she would have a long way to go back to Ulara and report to Charle. She started walking through the neverending forest, trying to take the right path that would bring her closer to accomplishing her goal. However, it was too difficult, until she heard footsteps from far away... Her magical renewed hornlike headress did not only grant her the ability to transform into shadow form but also made her capable of hearing things that a mere human could not do so. Therefore, she started running to the direction the footsteps were coming from by trusting her hearing. It seems the people she was following to must have been running. However, she was lucky enough to find out that those people were trying to slow down for a while and then took a break. Rose managed to find them, but she remained hidden so as to make out whether they were humans or not. The moon was covered by passing-by clouds. It was not a long time before those clouds were flown away, revealing the forms of the people. She stood up for a while in order to overhear their conversation, so as to learn whether she might find something important. They were just two villagers, a man and a woman who were running at that dark forest, trying to get to the next village in order to find the nanny, since the woman's sister was giving birth and she needed help. The atmosphere was calm, the wind was blowing gently. The moonlight was radiating a pure red glow, and that was Rose's chance to appear before their eyes.
-Help!!Help!!It is a monster!! the woman cried.
-I've never seen such a creature before. the peasant said. ''Hurry!!''
However the woman was too late to start running and calling out for help. Rose had grabbed her from the neck.
-Where is the newborn? she demanded in her harsh voice.
-You can speak!!?? the woman said although she had difficulty doing so. How do you know about...?
-I guess you don't want to live. Rose threatened the woman.
-Pleaaasee heelp mee!! the woman cried in despair as louder as she could.
The peasant raised his shotgun and tried to approach Rose.
-I won't let you kill my wife!! he screamed with determination to protect his wife no matter the cost.
-You can join her in death if you try to shoot me. Rose replied in the same cold tone.
The man was afraid, knowing that it was the end for both of him and his wife. But deep inside, he hoped that the humanoid shadow would understand him, since it could talk. Rose turned her head to the woman. Even though she was so close to people they could not make out whether she was a human or not, since she had transformed into her dragoon form and also had cast upon her the spell which allowed her to be darker than the night.
-Do you still intend not to speak? Rose threatened the poor old woman, who was unable to resist into her thick grasp and was starting to choke.
-My sister...she's...giving birth... right now.
Rose put less power in her grasp so that the woman could speak more easily.
-We...were out in the...forest to go...to the next...village and find...the nanny. But we're too late...the woman said.
The peasant fell on his knees begging Rose to spare his wive's life. She saw love into his eyes, she witnessed a man who would do everything so as to save his long-life companion, even humiliate himself, or get sacrificed for the person he loved the most in his life. Deep inside, Rose was affected by watching this man to have kneed before her due to the pure feelings he had for his mate. However, she was not supposed play weak or something like that. She was considered to be a monster, one that would be merciless and cruel.
-Never return to this village, for you shall be killed along with the others. She warned them.
Therefore, she pushed away the woman and began flying towards the village. This time, her red eyes were guiding her through the way to the village, as well as the faint sound from the cries of a baby. When she reached the village she could hear louder the cries of the newborn. Her eyes turnt out more red... It was close...The Moonchild was given birth. So it was high time that she appeared and killed it, as well as the people who were close to it before they would become it's servants. Thus, the god of destruction would never be born without a soul, and all the species from the divine tree would continue living in harmony...
