"Oh, you are such a sweet baby, you truly are the Holy One, after your training, I will be so happy to see you walk out of the monastery as a Holy Mage. When you get out, I can even teach you some of my techniques, oh how great you will be!"
The child slowly closes his eyes as the song starts, halfway through falling asleep.
"Such a great child, he falls asleep so fast, doesn't make a sound… So many mothers I have heard complaining of crying children, waking them at night, while my child makes little noi-
Suddenly the baby starts to cry.
"Oh, oh, shh-shh-shh… Calm down little one, you will be fine."
The mother suddenly smells something, burning, where is this coming from? The mother goes to the kitchen to see if she put out the flame for the stove, but it was out. She then smells the smoke stronger still and hears flames outside.
Her child screams more furiously, the mother, not realizing what this crying meant, runs out of her house with her child in her arms to find a horrible sight… Her village, the village was burning down! She sees a strange man running down the village road her way, has he spotted her?
"No, I mustn't get caught! I need to keep my son safe!"
She hides in the shadows of her house as the strange man runs by, now she could actually see him, it was a scruffy, unbathed and strong man wearing the pelts of many wild beasts, mainly wolves… In the middle of thinking about what she should do next, it happened… She heard storming foot steps coming at her direction, and before she could hide further into the shadows, the man came around the corner… She was spotted!
The man spoke to her in a disgustingly deep and harsh voice "Y'know? It is a nif'ty li'l ability y'get when yeh live out wi'nature… Yoah senses ge' bedah, n' they can ge' bedah 'til yeh cen sense emotions, like feah. Makes foh a bedah pilagin, y'know?" He then lets out a deep, scary laugh.
"What do you want from me!" The woman screams.
"Wha'da yah have?" He replies.
"I have nothing for such a disgusting oaf!" Proceeding this, she hocks and spits in his face
"Weh then, I jus' guna have dat babe the'… I hev always wanted eh pahtne!"
"You will do nothing of the kind!"
"Ukay, den I is guna have to take it!"
Just then he plows straight ahead, and pulls his fist back.
"SPIRIT ARMOR!" And just like that, a small barrier appeared around the woman.
"Yeh think thet'll do anythin'?" And with that he lunges his powerful fist down with a force which shattered the very ground beneath them, sending the mother and her child flying.
The mother turns around to protect her child from the blow, and even though the barrier took out some of the attack, she was still hit… Right in the back. She falls to the ground and sees that her child is over 5 yards away from her reach, she tried to get up, but something isn't right, she isn't getting up…
"NO! I can't move my legs!" Now turning herself around with her hands, "Please, show some mercy! Don't harm the baby! Kill me, but don't kill the baby!"
"Si'ence yah fool! Yah hev given meh too much trouble, fo' that I will make you watch your babe die!"
"No! Don't, please, don't!" She is now clawing herself towards her child, and she is starting to get dizzy.
"Heh heh! Yeh hev no chance! Yeh cen't get away from me! Look! Yah even hev a puddle of blood running from yeh!"
By now the mother is completely dizzy but has gotten to her child, though she is dizzy, she sees her child… His head is bleeding, and he has many cuts, "No! My child!"
"I may not be able to save myself… but I can save my child!"
"HEALING LV.2! MAGIC BARRIER! SPIRIT ARMOR LV.2!"
Her child is suddenly surrounded by a brilliant light, he is now safe and healed…
But his mother…
…His mother had given her last ounce of energy to protect her child, now her body lies on the cold, hard ground in the dark shadows, still bleeding.
"Ha ha! She meh heve been a threat in the first place, but now she lie dead, her child unprotected! It serves no use to meh, end whetevah seves no pupose must be disposed ev! End ebuve thot, yah mother was a menace, fo thot, I shell hev me vengeance!"
He raises his fist up high, about to hit the child when he hears a horse coming up.
"No! I must leave now, but child, jus' yeh weit!" He then runs off as fast as possible.
He runs out into the fog of smoke in the air, as the horse makes its way out of it, a large man on its back.
"Good God! What has happened here!" He starts by casting spells to douse the flames… "Water Pillar Lv.3!" Before the pillar reaches maximum, "Fire Ball Lv.3!" Suddenly the water pillar formed into a deep mist which quickly put out any fires in the village… After all this, he starts thinking about himself… Suddenly he thinks about the worse, and sends the horse to a gallop to his home, "Good, the fire didn't get to my house!"
The horse then gets to the house and he jumps off, but he gets off so quickly that he trips, but gets up fast and runs into the house, "Hello? Hello! Oh, they must have gone to help the villag-" just then, he hears the screams of a baby, he rushes out to the source…
"What is going on!" As he sees the bright light slowly fade away from what he didn't know was his child… After about 15 seconds the light goes away to show his son, "Thank God! But where is Agatha"
Just then he starts running ahead… but spots something strange on the ground, "What was that?" He goes back to it, but can't see it too well, so he grabs a torch, "Fire ball Lv.1"… He points the lighted torch toward it… "Oh no! Agatha! Agatha speak to me!" He gets no reply, "Come on! You can't die so easily, you just can't!"
Just then, a faint voice is heard, "Bartholomew? I- I am sorry, I a- am sorry that I could- n't stop the criminal, but he was t- too strong…"
"It is okay now, Agatha, you'll be just fine, just fine, you hear me!" He rubs her back for comfort, but finds that her spine is destroyed. "You must take care of our child, Bart, protect him."
"But Agatha, you will live, you can heal yourself, can't you? You will be fine!"
"You must have seen the light, the criminal was about to kill the child, and he was greatly wounded… I- I used the last of my magic to heal him and p- protect him, I am sorry. I can't… Whoa, why is everythink spinging?" Just then Bartholomew realizes just how much damage her wife sustained, with a broken spine, her head cut open and bleeding, she has lost so much blood… She is becoming delusional and dizzy.
With this realization, he lies her down on the ground and gets to his knees, and prays for the well-being of Agatha in her after-life, as she slowly, numbly, and peacefully passes off while the child she saved cries, as he watches his mothers spirit float and fade into the distance…
