Road To Ragnarok – Chapter 6

The trio

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tzusuki: Yeah! 6th Chapter is out! Somehow had to mood to write… turned out better than the other chapters though… anyways, introducing Clarence, the Assassin, the other Assassin and the Priest, but you'll find out more of them next chapter. Thanks to Clarence Hikari-san for these 3 new characters and for naming them as well. Arigato no!

Nina sighed. "The Assassin that captured me stabbed me pretty badly, even now, I still have the scar. I blacked out for pretty long, and when I woke up, I found myself with another 3 more people and the Assassin was gone…"

Jeffery looked steadily at her. "Tell me everything…"

Nina bowed her head. "Very well... Let me tell you exactly what happened…"

Nina woke up. Where am I? She thought, Am I in Heaven? She could see trees all around her. Suddenly the smell of barbeque chicken came over. She turned around and saw the back of a person that looked like the Assassin- the very same one who had stabbed her. "Uh…" she tried to moved, her vision was still blurry, she could hardly see anything clearly except for the shapes around her. "You should rest, girl. Don't move. You'll make your wounds open," a female voice said from behind her.

Nina turned sharply, she could see the shadow of a person, "Who are you? Why am I here? Where is my friend?" she asked the person.

The girl smiled kindly at her, "You shouldn't move or your wounds will open, girl. Don't worry, it's been taken care of properly. Your wounds should heal in a couple of days…"

"Where is the Assassin that stabbed me?" Nina asked the shadow. Up close, she could make out the features of a girl.

"That's not an Assassin. That was a demon. We saw the demon carrying you. You were looking in a pretty bad shape. Luckily we came across you or you've not been able to be a normal human again. Anyways, my name is Clarence." The girl said.

"Enough, let her sleep… " a male voice said suddenly out of nowhere.

Nina looked around, but could not see anyone near her other than Clarence. Then she heard a laughter coming from on top of her. Looking up, she saw a male who wore what looked like a Rosary looking down on her from the top of the tree. "A Priest?" she asked.

The Priest jumped down from his position on the tree. He came towards Nina. Meanwhile, the male Assassin who had been quiet up to now got up and with a quick movement, he disappeared from the view.

The Priest smiled at Nina, "Go to sleep, you'll be safe here. We'll watch over you. Heal!" A green light emitted from his hands and covered Nina, healing some of her wounds that had open. "It's night time, sleep, and we'll tell you what is going on tomorrow…"

Suddenly, the sound of monsters cries could be heard. The Priest smiled kindly at her, "Don't worry about them, we'll take care of it. Sleep and rest. Everything will be alright. "Turning to Clarence, he said, "Looks like the night will be long…"

Clarence smiled, "well, looks like it'll kill some time." She glanced at where the sound came from. "He's headed already. No doubt he won't leave any for us. Sigh…."

"Go to sleep, everything will be fine." The Priest words soothed Nina's fears and worries. Somehow, his words made her feel at peace even though she knew she ought to be on guard. Just listening to his voice made her feel safe and full of hope. It was like she had known him her whole life and was extremely close to him, but in reality she had only met him 1 minute ago. Her eyes felt droopy and they silently closed as she drifted off to sleep…
