"God damn. Its so hard to do this one handed." Evan complains as he is stitching together a Hooded trench coat made from the Lightning dragon skin. His Arm was taken off as the power was finally out. So he has to deal with one arm for the tike being.

"Caw!" Yami caws. "Yeah. I know. I don't wanna Scare the villagers though. So I gotta atleast finish the Trenchcoat so I can hide my arm atleast." Evan says.

"Caw! Caw Caw!" Yami argues. "You don't know that. You know how the people reacted back home. What if the villagers will do the same thing from before?" Evan asks. "Caw! Caw caw Caw! Cacaw!" Yami argues. Evan Turned away and Saw his Mask laying on the desk. Cracked and in need of repair. And the Gem in the middle still clear and smooth.

"Cacaw! Caw Caw. Caw!" Yami adds. Evan Looked at Yami then at the mask again. "Alright. Fine. You convinced me. I'll go without the arm." Evan sighs. "Caw!" Yami caws cheerfully. "Yeah yeah you don't need to gloat about it." Evan says as he packs up his available gear.

His boots were the only thing that survived. His Cane Had a new shaft made from the dragon bone femur but it was crudely carved to size and was a little too tall for his liking. He Grabbed a pair of baggy jeans and a belt to hold it up. He also put on a blue plaid button up shirt. Then a Thin jacket to go very it. He Removed the pearl from the mask and Stored it in a Hidden compartment in his Arm to hide it away. He then Rumaged through his Old masks and Grabbed a Hydro formed mask. It had Eye holes and was Slowly hammered into shape for him and had the Covering of his mouth cut out. He took the Cracked mask off the rim holding the bands onto it and attached the Hydro formed mask onto it with some effort.

He Slipped the Mask on and grabbed a Fedora to go over the mask. 'I'll still wear the mask. It just doesn't feel right without it.' He thought to himself.

Yami perched onto his shoulder as he Began to head out. "I believe the Village was northwest of here. Right?" He asks Yami. Yami bobs its head in an affirmative manner. Evan smiles. With that he began to head to the village.

"So how's the wife? Heard she's due any day now." A villager asks "She's doing fine. I can't help but worry though. She's a fighter though so I just know she'll be fine." The other says.

"Good to hear. Any idea if it'll be a boy or girl?" He asks. "Nope. But I'm hoping for a boy." He says.

"Hey! He's here!" Samantha cheers happily. Only to loose her smile and gasp lightly when she saw Evan's state of being. Evan smiled and waved hi trying to ignore the rising anxiety. "I told you this was a bad idea Yami." He whispers. Yami Caws lightly and Flies to perch on a lampost. "Its the one who slain that dragon." Someone whispers.

"Did he lose his arm before or after the battle?" Another whispers. "I don't know." "Think he's okay?" "I sure hope So."

"Hey Samantha. I came like I promised." Evan says. "Hey mister. What happened to your arm. Did the dragon take it away?" Samantha asks worriedly. "No. This was because of my own faults. No one is really perfect Samantha. And I'm no exception." Evan answers. "Are you gonna be okay?" She asks. Evan smiles and crouches down to pat her on the head.

"I appreciate the concern Child. But I'll be fine. Don't you worry." He says. He gets up when he notices someone walking over. "So this is the hero who saved the village? Let me be the first to say that I am extremely grateful for your actions towards. If you never arrived i'm afraid at what would have happened to us." the Village Elder says.

"No need to thank me. I'm just trying to repent for my actions. So hopefully this helps remove some of the weight of my actions." Evan says. "I understand. I am Riggurd Jeran. It is a pleasure to meet you." Riggurd says. "Its a pleasure to meet you as well Riggurd. My name is Evan Sark." Evan introduces himself with a bow. Having Yami perch onto his shoulder. "And this is my companion Yami." He adds.

"Caw!" Yami Caws. Riggurd chuckles at the sight. "I'm Happy you decided to come to our village. Even in such a state." He says. "Yeah. I learned to live with it. I did have a working arm but the power source no longer works. I'm out." Evan says.

"What do you mean?" Riggurd asks. "Its a long story. I was actually hoping I could start trading with your merchants and such here. As I hope they may have something I could use." Evan says. "You're more than welcome to. I suggest talking to Gerran the craftsman over there for the Best Deals. And Barron for any armor smithing deals." Riggurd suggests.

"Thank you Riggurd." Evan thanks. "You're welcome." Riggurd bows. "Hey Evan. Wanna see the rest of the village with me? You never got a good look at it last time." Samantha asks. "Caw!" Yami encourages.

"I don't know." Evan says. "Please~." Samantha asks with her puppy dog eyes. Evan Inwardly groaned before sighing in defeat. "Alright fine. What's the worst that could happen?" He says. "Yay!" Samantha cheers as she began pulling him along. "Come on!" She says with a smile.

"Woah! Let me have my arm at least! I wanna keep one arm still!" Evan says as he feels his arm be nearly ripped off his body. 'The hell are the feeding these kids!?' He thought as he Was dragged along.

Soon a small montage is shown seeing Evan and Samantha hanging out and trying out various things and trying available snacks and delicacies. Yami flying overhead or annoying Evan for food.

Evan eventually had to go use the outhouse for a bit. So he was separated from Samantha for a bit. When he came out he saw Samantha being crowded by four kids her age. But he could tell they aren't friends. "Hah hah hah! Why would he ever wanna hang out with you? You're just a pathetic orphan." The first kid says.

"You're an Ugly little Imp. Who would adopt you?" The second asks. "Just leave the poor guy alone. He's probably just hanging out with you out of pity." The third says. "You don't know that!" Samantha argues trying jot to cry. "Hey look! The crybaby is gonna release the waterworks! How Pathetic." The fourth taunts.

He was about to laugh when a Cane was wacked onto his head. "Ow!" He says. "That's enough of that you little Rodent." Evan says. "What's the big idea?!" He asks.

"You kids think you can bully a little girl without consequence? Wrong. Karma is one evil bitch. And She'll Make sure you feel her burns without question. Now. Go. Get the hell out of my sight." He Says pointing away from him.

"So What. Just because you're the Hero you can do Whatever you want?" The second yells. Evan sighs as he grabs his mask. He Forgone the make up today so it should help drive the message home. He Removes the mask and looked straight at the kids. Watching their face's turn pale in fright. "I won't say this again Rodents. Leave." He says. The kids were shaking in their boots before bolting it.

Evan got back up and Put his Mask back on. "It pains me to see children act so viciously to others." He comments. He then turns to Samantha who was trying to wipe her eyes. She was silently crying.

Evan crouched and hugged her. "Don't worry child. The mean kids are gone." he comforts. "Why? Why are they so mean?" She asks. "I don't know why. But what they did crossed a line by mentioning that your an orphan. Not only for you but for me as well. No one should ever suffer through that." Evan says.

"Wait. Does that mean..." "Yeah. You're not the only orphan here." Evan says as he places his hand on Samantha's head. "Now. It smells like the feast has begun. Wanna go eat there and forgot those mean kids?" He asks. Yami caws encouragingly. Samantha sniffles and nods. Evan put his cane under his right armpit to hold onto it as he grabbed Samantha's hand.

(Later)

Evan smiled as he ate his kebab in peace. Samantha sleeping on his lap with a light smile. Even cuddling with Yami. He Lightly brushed some hair out of her face and Smiled. 'Glad to see her smiling again.' He thought.

"Excuse me. Are you the one that hurt my son?" A Karen asks Evan. 'And so my joy died just like that.' Evan groans. "If you mean the Little flea infested rodent then yes I did. He was Being very mean to this child. Enough to make her cry. So yes I did. Got a problem with that?" He asks.

"Oh I do have a problem Mister. What gives you the right to Lay your hand's on..." Evan just blocked out her ranting as he was immediately bored with her voice. "Listen Karen. If you think I happen to give even an Inkling of piss about your oh so precious little angel and your ego. Then go bark up another tree cause I don't. Its more like its your fault for not properly raising your son to be a respectful child in this place. Now. If you'll excuse me. I need to go smash my head in so I can get the image of you out of my brain." Evan interrupts. He Gets up and Lightly sets Samantha down. "Now. Good day." He says picking up his cane.

He walks off but didn't get far as The Karen Snarls. "Oh no you don't!" She yells as she attempts to grab his hair. Ready to throw down. Already some villagers were watching this happen. The Karen snags something and Pulls And with a snap Evan's Mask fell to the ground.

Gasps were sounded out as they looked at Evan Sark. Evan leered at the Karen with an intense boiling anger in his expression. Opening up a Scar and making his face bleed. She Backs away in fear.

Evan Stomped over and snatched the straps back. He stomps off with Yami cawing at her before following Evan. Waking Samantha up. She looks around and see's Evan's dropped mask. "Evan?" She asks. Samantha picks up the mask and Runs off to find Evan. But by now he's already left the village.

"RRRAGH! FUCK! FUCK!" Evan yells as he tosses and overturns things in his vicinity. Yami caws frantically as it flew up to the ceiling. "DAMN THAT WOMAN! DAMN THAT VILLAGE!" he yells.

Evan threw his cane at a wall and let it clatter to the ground. Evan breathed heavily as he Collapsed on the ground. Drops of blood falling to the ground and mixing with tears. "Fuck." He Sobs.

Yami looks at Evan in worry. It flew down and Perched on a Table on it side to caw lightly. Evan Sniffs as he Looks at Yami. "I'm okay. Just. I'm reminded to much about what happened right now." He says. Yami Flaps its wings and Lands on Evan's lap. Looking straight at him. Evan smiles and pets Yami. "You're too nice for me." Evan Says. Yami then spoke for real. "I know." Evan was shocked to say the least.

And Scene.
