Prologue: Tragedy
Screams of terror wake the sleeping village. Flames of destruction surrounding not just the outskirts of the village, but spreading through the homes of the innocent inhabitants. Panic fills the air and people desperately flee their homes, only to be met by foes shrouded in the darkness of the night, cut down without even a shred of mercy.
The slaughter is over in just mere seconds; the only one standing is a lone woman with long golden hair, looking down at three bloodied corpses through her closed eyes. The corpses belong to the only defenders of the village. A young human female, a dwarf man, and a human male.
„What fools.“ The female says in a cold tone, holding the weapon she used to slay her enemies, a black blade resembling the darkness itself.
She slashes into the air, cleaning the weapon off her victim‘s blood before sheathing it in a dark crimson scabbard. She then turns her attention to the moonlight starting to shine on her surroundings, revealing her beautiful skin, much too perfect to be natural.
„Another dead end.“ She says all of a sudden, as if speaking to herself.
„Next time for sure.“ She opens her eyes, the glowing red iris reflecting the moonlight, making it appear blood red.
As she turns her attention to the pendant around her neck, she hears footsteps coming from behind her.
„Good job.“ A young male says, walking towards the female in a relaxed stature.
„Why are you here.“ She responds, her tone still cold, but the animosity in her voice clearly coming out.
„Me? Oh, just checking if you kept up your end of the deal.“ He says smirking, putting his hands behind his head and leaning back, showing the woman before him is no threat to him.
„I‘m not going back on my word, so, what is my next mission?“
„Hmm, this country‘s done for, the humans are almost gone. And with the hero dead, all we have to do now is finish what we started.“ The young man stares at the corpses next to the female.
„Very well, let‘s get this over with.“ The female responds, before they both vanish into the night.
