Final Confrontation

Part IV

"A Terrible Past"

Siegfried stayed in the village for the night and decided to leave the next day. He knew that great danger was on the way and he didn't want to stick around and cause any for the others in the village. When the night came around, Siegfried was standing outside the house and looking up at the stars. "I remember last time I got to see the sky this peacefully."

FLASHBACK

Siegfried was thirteen years old and was staring out into the heavens. "Wow, this is really great. The sky is beautiful. The stars really shine out." He was lying down on the ground and relaxing when he heard a loud voice echo behind him. "Hey! Boy! Get in here. It's late. We're ready to eat." He father yelled across the field. "Ok, father." He yelled back.

Siegfried was an only child. He lived with his mother and father in a small village that was directly in the middle of a land of war. His father was part of the forces that defended the land in which they lived. His father was named the most feared warrior throughout the land. Or that is what they said until the new threat arose in the land. "NIGHTMARE"

It was a peaceful night that night when Siegfried and his father sat at the dinner table. His mother joined them shortly after. They all talked, laughed, and was having a good time. There father talked about how he had to leave in a few days to return to the services. Siegfried spoke about how he wanted to join the forces when he reached of age.

The night was going great. Until…

People in the village were screaming and causing a ruckus outside. Siegfried's father went to check out what was the matter. When he grabbed one of the villagers and calmed him down, he asked him what the village was panicking about. The villager told him that a knight who fights like a demon was rampaging through the village and killing innocent people.

Siegfried knew what his father was going to do. And sure enough, his father grabbed his blade and started to walk out the door. Siegfried ran up and grabbed him and started to cry. "No, daddy! No! He will kill you." His father leaned down and put a hand on his shoulder. "If I do nothing, then he will keep killing innocent people." He gave him a hug and walked out the door.

Siegfried watched his father walk toward the flames in the distance. And just as he feared… Siegfried never saw his father again.

RETURN TO PRESENT

"Siegfried are you ever going to go to sleep?" Seaong-Mina asked. "Oh, yes. Sorry." He responded. He started to walk inside when he heard a woman scream. "DEMON! It's a demon!"

Siegfried looked away. "It's Him!"
