A Fighter May Cry

XXXXXXXXXXX

The quest in that cave...

That single moment was caved into the unfortunate female Fighter's mind, as she rode on a wagon. The vehicle was made for the other survivors for different quests...

Not a normal quest, not a regular, fun adventure.

Those quests would never have... Them. Those Goblins. Those green, grotesque, child-sized Vermin. Those whose sole purpose is to destroy, to kill, to breed.

They had underestimated them as they signed up for that quest. They thought that it would be easy, a walk in a park. The male Swordfighter was very cocky, saying that Goblins were very weak, and he could take them on. The new, shy Priestess was very worry about the quest, but they went along with it anyway.

They should've listened.

They were overrun in a instant. The first one to go was the Wizard Girl, as she was poisoned by the Goblins. Then the Swordfighter, the walls of the cave being his downfall. It was only Fighter and Priestess, and Fighter had fought for the small Protesters safety...

Only for her to be attacked by a Hobgoblin. She was overran as well, but they didn't kill her. Oh no. They had a better use for her. They had taken turns with her, only for more of them to pop out of her, and it went on, and on, and on...

Someone had rescued the both of them out of that cave, but Fighter had already been dead in the inside.

The wagon had nearly made its way to the church...

Until a blinding light was taken the entire vehicle, with the people on it being taken by surprised. As the light disappeared, there wasn't a village anymore, but a desert of sorts, with a unnaturally white red sky, and blood-oranges ground with uneven cracks laid out. A moment of silence came, and soon passed as the sounds of marching grew closer. Suddenly, a army of ungodly creatures appeared as they marched. They had seemed to be following a a man in a black coat. The man had pale moon skin, with devilish red eyes, and combed back white hair. He had a necklace with a blue gem around his neck, and a strange blade in its sheath. The man stopped marching, so did the creatures.

"...Everyone in the wagon... Out."

The man spoke in a cold and calculating manner. With that, all of the survivors climbed out of the wagon.

"...Humans... Greetings. I am Vergil. And I have a dream. A dream where people won't be afraid of any kind of threats out there. That I will be a savior for all of you. People won't have to be scared anym-"

"I don't care what the hell you want!" A fellow male survivor cried out. "You can't kidnap us! It happened once to me, and I'll be damn sure that it won't happen twice!"

The sudden defiance stirred some courage of other survivors, and soon joined the male survivor in yelling.

Vergil stood there, listening to the hecklers and protesters...

Why are humans so ungrateful?

Vergil slowly crept down, his blade in the ready. He slowly grabbed the hilt...

And the sounds of the blades slicing the air swiftly played as the wind picked up speed...

The cries suddenly died out.

Vergil then returned his blade into its sheath slowly. As the hilt was covered with a clack, the survivors dropped to the floor, in bloody pieces...

Only the Fighter remained.

Vergil studied the girl. She was... different than the others. She had never made a sound, a dead expression remained on her face, as if the sudden deaths of those people had no effect on her.

The man ordered the creatures to stay, and slowly approached the Fighter.

"...Hello there," Vergil said, to no reply. "I'm sorry you had to witness that. Humans can be ungrateful for their new saviour."

A moment of silence emerged once more, as the wind died down again. Vergil then hold out his hand.

"Come..."

Fighter had made no movement.

Vergil waited, before withdrawing his hand.

"...Hmph."

Vergil turned, and marched back to the creatures...

Only to hear footsteps behind him.

He swiftly turned, only to find the Fighter to be moving... To be following him...

Vergil studied this sudden movement...

A small grin appeared on his face.

He turned and walked once more, with Fighter following him.
