Draqueen's streets:
Ruwalk walked dutifully forward, with sword in hand, as his eyes took in the relatively peaceful scenes before him. The streets of Draqueen, though bristling with thieves, had always been rather peaceful. This morning was not the exception.
The Yellow Dragon Officer, Ruwalk had been sent this way by Alfeegi's search teams in hopes that a full report could be made on the cities well being. So far, as morning turned to noon, Ruwalk had little to report.
As he was walking, he smiled when he noticed an nearby pub up ahead, but before he could reach it, a sharp scream caught his attention. Ruwalk paused momentarily, and looked over toward the noise. A small section of the street he had just passed was starting to look a little dangerous.
Demons, he thought grimly, and prepared his sword.
Ruwalk walked cautiously over to the street, that was already starting to smell of blood. A few women and men ran passed the Dragon Officer, their bodies already showing signs of struggle. As Ruwalk closed in to the last house on the row, he noticed the 3 demons readying their attacks to break the door down. A window was already being broken by a fourth, so Ruwalks quiet steps were not heard by any of them.
Ruwalk quickly ran up behind the tallest demon, that had red hair, black eyes, and a gawky form, and sliced it clean through with his sword. The surprised demon let out a startled cry, and it's body oozed a clear liquid, then fell to the ground.
As Ruwalk was grabbing his sword out of it, the other demons faced him. One that had silted eyes, sliced at Ruwalk's shoulder with it's claws. Ruwalk grunted, but managed to pull his sword from the fallen demon. His left shoulder bleed freely, and his black shirt, with black jacket was utterly soaked.
He then adjusted his grip on the sword's hilt, and stepped back a few feet. He surveyed his opponent, a shorter demon with silted, green eyes, short cropped black hair, and a lopsided grin.
I guess he thinks he's won, Ruwalk thought, his eyes flickering from both of the demons who stood before him. The other was just a small bird shaped demon, that Ruwalk decided to take out last.
The clawed demon surged forward, his eyes glittering, it's mind set on revenge. Ruwalk side stepped the attack, and retaliated with an upward blow from his sword. He then pulled it back, and slashed again, rendering the demon incapable of battle.
The dragon Officer's sites then fell on the bird-like type, that escaped by surrounding itself with a black mist, and disappearing. For a moment, Ruwalk felt happy that he'd won, but it was short lived when he heard more screams coming from the house he stood in front of.
He quickly ran over and noticing that the window was actually to small for his body to fit, decided to ram the wooden door. After a few tries, he gave up as the door held firm.
For a few seconds, he panicked, not knowing how to get in.
I do have that pen, he thought slowly, a grin forming on his face, that will do.
Ruwalk pulled a silver toned pen from his pocket, that opened up to reveal a longer, like pin. He quickly shoved it into the door's lock, and smiled when he finally heard a small click.
Hmm, Thatz's 'lessons' actually paid off, he mused, as the door swung inward, revealing a small house with bits of furniture.
The house:
Inside, a tall, darkly tanned demon, was advancing on a girl with long hair. Ruwalk quickly charged at the attacker, and swooped his sword low, cutting it in the back. It barely uttered a sound, not even feeling the attack.
Ruwalk regarded his foe with surprise, then he noticed that it wasn't made of flesh and blood like most, but liquid and fire.
This isn't going to be easy, he thought, as he started an all out attack on the creature. After about 7 sword slashes, the demon slowly fell on it's back, and glared up at Ruwalk.
"My Master will hear of this." It said coldly, it's form disappearing into the ground.
For over a minute Ruwalk stood there, his legs barely supporting him. He then sighed loudly, but stopped halfway when he heard quiet crying coming from farther in the house. He slowly raised his head, and his gaze fell upon a girl who sat on the ground, her arms wrapped around her knees.
"Aah, miss? It's okay now, you don't have to be afraid anymore." Ruwalk said, feeling awkward that he had forgotten about her. He then walked over to her, and crouched down.
For a moment, all he could tell was that she had long, curly, locks of red hair that, as she sat, reached the ground. As the moments passed, her cries subsided, and she slowly raised her head and gave a watery smile.
Her crimson eyes were still a bit teary, but Ruwalk smiled when he saw them.
Ruwalk's smile seemed to reassure the girl, since she unwrapped her arms, and forced herself to stand up. Ruwalk helped her up, and after a few moments, the both of them were standing facing each other.
Ruwalk had to look down at her, as he was a good foot taller than she.
She looked up at him, and her words came out of her lips quietly, "Thank you, for saving me."
"No problem."
"W-who are you?" She asked, her eyes quickly looking toward the floor, and her head dropped.
Ruwalk slowly raised his hand up under her chin, and raised it enough so that she was looking at him.
"My name is Ruwalk, I'm the yellow Dragon Officer, in service to the Dragon Lord. May I know your name, Miss?"
She had looked surprised when he raised her head, but she then brightened up when she heard his name.
"My name's Hikaru. It's nice to meet you, Ruwalk."
