Red Streets

Józef POV

The streets are taked from the same penitence place of Zorlyk. It has to be. The Gods of Light would never do something like this...To this poor innocent people...I'll turn a candle for all of them, I'll tell General Keisuke to ask the king for a conmemorative...That's all we can do for them...

-Drip Drip-

Rain...This feeling is horrible...It's Wincent fault. If it weren't for him this poor people would still alive! He deserves the ejecution!

"Sir."

"Ah. My apologies...This scene...Maked me space out for a moment."

"It's alright sir. Everyone looks afected with this horrible scene."

"Now let's separate us. I'll take my team to the center of the town and you'll take yours to the top, right?"

"Yes. See you on a few days, Prestò."

Just as planned. We'll start looking for civilians from the castle to the dock. If everything goes according the plan, it'll take us a week at least. And if we end before the cave group we'll go and give them our support.

-Thunder!-

The storm is getting worse with the time. If it continues like this, there will be a flood, and the ghost of sorrow won't hesitate on sending his guardian dogs, a team like this couldn't stay on feet on the very first minutes.

-Tap Tap Tap-

-Bzzz Bzzz-

"Stop! Fight positions!"

Come to us you pathetic insect.

"There it is!"

What the hell? That thing...He has a person on his feets!

-Fush!-

-Bump!-

What a miserable, what a coward. This guy it's not even an adult yet. He's only a kid...I swear I'll kill that coward with my own hands.

"Sir, I think I've saw that guy before."

"You know his name?"

"Yes, he's the son of a reconigzed fishman, his name it's Bendyk."

"And...You know the age of this poor soul?"

"I think he was on his early seven teen."

"Priest Michał."

"Yes, sir?"

"Please, purify the poor young soul, so he can have a properly rest at the side of the Gods, and not suffer on a penitence place."

"You don't have to ask that, sir. We'll purify the soul of all the innocent soul on this place."

His body is half eated, his eyes are bleeding, there's no need of expression to show us that he died feeling anger, pure anger. Please poor soul don't curse us with your anger, we'll get ride of this plague for you.

I promise.

Whit remorze and sadness we leaved that kid body there. I'm sure he's following us now, to see if I actually can complish my promise. But there's no need to do that, because the word of a warrior is always a fact, and because of me it won't change.

-Cough Cough!-

"Ugh! What is that smell?!"

"Looks like it comes from that corner."

-Tap Tap Tap-

!!!

"It comes from those spiders bodies!"

The smell of spider's blood is already horrible, but thanks to the water it's making it more disgusting.

"Looks like a warrior passed thru here."

"Carefully, it looks like acid."

"We'll have to take another route, this street is blocked."

"Yes, sir!"

-Thunder-

-Tap! Tap!Tap!-

"Rwaar!!!"

-Stops-

"On positions! Protect the priests!"

That roar! It sounded like a dragon one! We have to be careful!

-Bump Bump Bump-

"That's a...That's a meat monster!"

"Priest!"

"Rwaar!!!"

"Going!"

-Boom!!!-

"RWAAR!!!"

-Bump Bump Bump-

He runned away. He looked way more powerful...

"Squeerk!!!"

"Rwaar!!!"

-Slash! Slash!-

That's another spider! Two monster fighting each other, we have to aproach this and run!

"Run to the temple! We'll check this tomorrow at morning!"

This is a probably a cowardly act, at least for a warrior like me.-

Wait! The scratch Priest Michał leaved is gone! The regenerative skill of that beast is way to fast!

No, this is not a cowardly act, if I make my people fight that thing, it will be the same than killing them directly. Tomorrow is another day.

We'll make progress after getting some rest.


30 Minutes later.


Finally here. It took us more than expected...

"Sir, we already decided who will make guard."

"Oh, that's good. Before sleeping I'll take a look around the castle."

"Are you sure you want to go alone, sir?"

"Yes, there's nothing to worry about! I'm sure the Gods are watching me, like that nothing can happen to me!"

"You are right sir! The Gods wouldn't let down a warrior like you!"

"I'll be back in a couple of minutes! Make sure to get rest."

"Yes sir!"

15 Minutes Later...

-Tap Tap Tap-

The storm is getting worse, but I can't go back already. I have to find at least one civilian, maybe one of them is coming to the temple because of the flood...I have to focus...

"Ahh...Ahhh..."

I knew it! There's someone here! But where! The sound was not so loud, he's close! Please make another sound!

"Is there someone here?! Please make a sound for me!"

"..."

No answer...I'll have to throw mana on making a Aura Light...

There he is...!

"Ahh..."

He looks on pain, I have to carry him to the temple, he needs to be healed!
