Disclaimer I do not own Overlord. This is just a story for fun.
One day rose was walking around the castle. Her eyes fell upon some refugees from Heavens Peak. They had just barely escaped the plague of zombies and monsters that roamed their streets. The refugees looked up at Rose and smiled and thanked her for her kindness.
"Your welcome." Said Rose with a smile as she walked away.
She wished there was more she could do for them. She spotted one of her scouts returning to the castle. She went to talk to him.
"What's the latest news?" She asked.
"We'll I've heard that Melvin has been killed. The people of Spree say it was a man in dark armor calming to be the Overlord who killed Melvin." Said the scout.
Rose thanked him for the information and walked away.
"The Overlord is back?! That can't be right Gallant killed him! Unless this Overlord is some kind of successor! He must have killed Melvin to avenge his predecessor That's the last thing the world needs with all the crazy stuff going on." Thought Rose.
There was a loud commotion at the main gates Rose went to see what it was. She went up to the castle walls and looked down in shock to see her father leading a large group
of bandits.
"Father what is the meaning of this?!" She demanded.
Her father looked up at her with a cruel evil smile on his normally kind face .
"Hello my daughter I've come with these fine gentlemen to attack and loot the castle." He said.
Rose starred at him with horror. This can't be right. This man looked like her father, but he was acting differently. This man couldn't be her father.
"I will spare you and let all the people in the castle go freely if you join me and my cause." Said the wizard.
"Never these people are under my protection. You may look like my father, but you certainly don't act like him. Now be gone!" She said.
"So be it. Gentlemen you may go loot and kill now." Said the wizard as he disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
The bandits cheered and started attacking the castle. Rose quickly ducked to avoid being hit by arrows and sling stones. What was she going to do? There weren't that many soldiers in the castle and she only knew a little defense and attack magic spells. She heard a loud banging sound on the gate. Oh great now the bandits were attacking the gate with a battering ram. The situation was looking hopeless. The bandits attacked for hours. They haven't yet breached the gates but it was only a matter of time. Rose watched them attack. Then something caught her eye.
There was a tall armored figure leading a strange group of imp like creatures. Who were they? We're they some kind of reinforcements for the bandits?! The bandits turned to face the new comers they did not seem happy to see them.
They charged the newcomers. Three bandits charged the armored figure with swords. The figure locked blades with one of the bandits. The other two charged him. The figure raised his hand and shot lightning at one of the bandits sending him flying to the ground. He shoved the bandit he was locked with back and hit the other charging bandit with the hilt of his sword and sent him crashing to the ground. He then trusted his sword through the first bandit's chest. The bandit gasped. The figure pulled his sword out and the bandit collapsed to the ground lifelessly. The figure joined the imp like creatures in battle and in a matter of moments all the bandits were killed. Rose had the guards open the gates and they stepped out to meet the figure.
"You have my thanks for rescuing us good sir." Said Rose as she looked at the figure and gasped.
The figure wore gray silver armor, a horned helmet that concealed his face, and a small red cape. This figure matched the description of the Overlord! But something wasn't right. Though Rose could sense evil from the figure she also sensed some kind of goodness from him.
The new Overlord nodded his head.
"Your...welcome." He said.
His voice was muffled by the amor and it seemed to struggle to speak like he haven't spoken to anyone in a long time.
Rose invited the Overlord and his creatures into the castle. This was certainly a strange development. First her father was running around being evil and leading a large group of bandits to attack the castle. Now she'd been saved by the new Overlord who was supposed to be evil. There was something odd about the new Overlord. He seemed familiar to Rose in some way.
