Part 3
The family of 6 lives in a small abandoned house. Rats crawl to and fro
amongst the house. The children smile and help the stranger. Dinner is
small
and most of it is given to the children. The parents don't eat. The
children smile and hug their parents. Love is shown amongst the poor here.
The parents look at the man and call him to their rooms. They tell him he's
welcome to stay. They don't have much but it's okay to them. They also tell
him it's not worth it to live. It's too much of a struggle. Death would be
better than this. Sickness starving. Being in this life. Watching the
hunters and such mock them.
The stranger takes his leave and makes a mental note. He then watches some
hunters turn down a little girl asking for help because she's broke. He
glares in anger. A sudden shout is heard as he jolts out of his reverie.
The agent dressed man is insulting the people. Zio walks back to his pulpit
and glares. "You have no right to judge my people! No right to judge what
your kind did to us! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT!" He screams and slams his fist into
the podium.
The people echo and shout in accordance looking to the man. "I am not an
agent! He dressed me up! He's evil! He'll kill you all!" The little girl
walks up to the man and slaps him. "Don't you dare talk about my friend Zio
that way! Hes going to help us! You are a bad man! Hunters killed my
parents!" she screams kicking the man again. The man laughs and looks at
the little girl. "So a little dirty tramp insults me. Go back to the
garbage can you came from! You followers of this evil!" The little girl
cries out as the man goes to kick her back. In one dash Zio grabs his neck
and slams him into the ground.
He holds the man by his throat and hisses. "Don't ever strike a child
again! Do you hear me you worthless hunter scum!! They deserve more life
than you!!" Zio smirks and shouts to the people. "Shall we exact our
revenge on the Hunters? They don't have to laugh at us! We can stand up to
them! We're proud! We're not worthless!" His voice softens. "My people are
not weak. You're worth all the tears I've shed!" The people cheer and shout
things relating to purifying the hunter and making him burn.
Zio points to the man and smirks as his demon face appears behind him.
"Hunter! You will be purified of hypocrisy! No more will you terrorize and
taunt my innocent children! My people! You will burn like you deserve!" The
man begs forgiveness and for life as a fireball strikes the man. The people
cheer and shout joy as he's burned and they watch with glee. The little
girl walks over to Zio and hugs him again. "Thank you Mister Zio, for
saving me." Zio smiles to the little girl and sets her down.
"People of Kadary!" He shouts to them. "I have food in my church. I will
give it out to you. I will come amongst you and try to heal the sick. Its
all I do, out of love for you." He softens smiling to them. " If I cannot
cure.. I will end, so you don't suffer. My gift to you, my beloved people!"
He winces as another vision overtakes him. He's armed with a sword. He
attacks the Hunter Guild bent on vengence for what they do. He is
overwhelmed
And is hurting pretty bad. His hand is scarred beyond recognition as he's
defeated. Left to die he clings to life sobbing and crying out. "Please!!
Someone! God! I cannot die. I need to help my people! I must be their
champion!! PLEASE!! SOMEONE HELP ME!!"
A demon-like face appears and looks at the man. "I can help you, child. But
it comes at a price!" The man nods and looks at him. "Any price is worth
it! To save and help my people, even my soul!" he says with devotion and
love in his heart. The figure smirks.
"Then accept my power and give up your soul! Become my servant! And I will
give you the power to bring death and destruction to all!"
The man nods in agreement knowing he has to do it. No one else will stand
up for his people. Or give them aid. But he will. His soul is but a
small sacrifice. Being evil is but a small price. His love for his people
and the weak is more than any fear he has. He cries out as he's tortured
with
pain and infused with power. Broken and mind shattered he stands up
smirking. Dark energy courses through him as he laughs maliciously!
Destruction to all! Death! Kill! He seems to echo in his mind as he
observes the city.
But even then a small thought enters, from a small part of his former self.
He returns to the house he was helped in. He opens his palm and eradicates
the house. His promise fulfilled that part of him smiles. He helped his
friends. He helped his people feel no pain. He did the right thing. And so
he erects a fort and starts a church to aid his people as much as he can.
Out of love he helps them.
The black man smiles out of his revelry and proceeds to give the people
food. He proceeds to try and heal the sick. Killing those who are dying. An
observer watching calls him evil in his heart and runs away. The man
doesn't notice taken up in helping his people. Soon everyone leaves and
he's alone. He
sits down and cries at what he's done. All the ones he's killed and the
condition of his people is what he cries for. He's then taken over by pain
and forced to his knees. Throughout his cries and screams of pain he keeps
that part of him away from the demon. The love he has.
He slowly walks out and looks back at his temple. A small smile forms on
his lips as he believes he helped his people. His soul was but a sacrifice.
The
evil he became was evil to others not to him. He helped his people. And so
Zio the Black magician is what he is. '
Little Zoe giggles and hugs her mommy, She looks up at Roki and gives a big
grin. "I am going to be just like Daddy! And help the Palman people! I'll
help our people live better lives!!" She then makes a evil and hateful look
on her face.
The look was so much like Zio's and Roki blinks a little afraid. "And
then.. I'll pay those who killed my Daddy! Took him away from us!" She
screams and then sniffles crying.
Roki strokes her daughter's hair and sets her back in the covers. Roki
strokes her hair and smiles. "In the morning, You'll have lots of presents
little Zoe." Roki says in a soft and gentle tone.
Little Zoe smiles and then sighs. "Yes, But the one present I really want
the most will never happen!" She wipes a small tear and lays back in her
covers. She hugs a small plushy of her daddy as she falls asleep.
Roki strokes her hair and sighs sadly. She gets up and turns off the light
and walks out of the room. She then puts on a coat and walks out the door.
She runs down the streets looking for the hospital and for Rika. Hoping to
find her before its too late.
