Chapter 1: The Village Siege

When Darkness arrives, only the two chosen heroes can save the land…

"AAAHHH!"

"Save us, somebody please!"

Frantic people scatter the town, screaming for help or just from fright. The village's buildings are burning, and smoke is replacing what once was fresh air. Bandits run around taking whatever they find valuable.

"Well well, what do we have here?"

A cornered woman shrieks, "L-leave me alone!"

"Hahaha, I don't think so. You know what, I'm taking you with me!"

"NOOO!"

A voice calls out, "You best leave her alone!"

"What? Who's there!"

"OH, nobody, just ME!"

A figure jumps down from the burning roof of a building, revealing a red-haired 15-year-old with an impressive blade.

"You think you can stop me Roy? Not today!"

"What makes you think so?"

"This! Surround him now!"

Five more bandits arrive, surrounding Roy in a matter of seconds.

"Well, this is rather unexpected," Smirking, Roy adds, "But just because there are more of you, doesn't mean you outnumber me!"

Snapping into action, Roy swipes his sword, taking out one of the bandits. Two attack from behind, and Roy spins around. With a slash of massive power he downs two more bandits. Now there are only two left, and for a moment, they hesitate. One recovers and runs at Roy, yelling with rage as he commences his attack. Waiting for the last second, Roy jumps up, landing and pushing off the bandit's back, sending him to the ground face first.

"Ha! What'd you think off that?"

Enraged, the bandit gets up, and the other is now prepared as well. The bandits attack Roy from both sides, but Roy simply jumps again and they take each other out.

"W-what?! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE!?"

"Just give up already. This was over before it began!"

"GGRRRAAHHH! I'll kill you!"

"Well, it's your choice," Says Roy shrugging.

The bandit leader charges at Roy, gripping his massive axe preparing to strike. When the bandit swings his axe, Roy simply counters and points his blade at the bandit's throat.

"So what'll it be, death or jail?"

"Neither!"

The leader swings his leg, tripping Roy, and runs off, calling for the other bandits to retreat as well. Roy picks himself off, a bit annoyed, but nevertheless satisfied at their retreat. After hours of work, the town was put out and the people started to rebuild.

"Well, I'm sorry I can't help you rebuild, but I have to follow the bandits to make sure they won't be coming back," Roy apologized.

"Oh, that's alright. We are in your debt Roy, thank you for saving our people," The village elder said. The woman Roy saved came sprinting crying with joy.

"Thank you so much!" She cried, hugging him.

"U-uh it was nothing really, just my duty," Roy said. "Uugh, get this woman off me!" He thought while attempting to pry the woman off of him.

When he was prepared to leave, Roy waved goodbye to the people. It was a happy sight, and he hoped they could finish rebuilding soon. With one final glance he mounted his horse, and rode off.

A/N: Well, that's all for now. Just in case anyone was wondering, right now this takes place in Roy's homeland, the country Elibe.

Roy: HELLO!

Me: Aaaahhh! Where'd you come from!

Roy: What? I'm always here!

Me: O_O

Roy: Well, she's not responding, so, I'll just say it for her… Anyway, Chapter 2 will be coming soon! Again, please comment If you have feedback!
