“F*CK!”
The
explicit pierced through the thick dust that filled the plain.
But,
it wasn't a plain at all.
Twenty seconds prior, that is.
For
what was once a vast forested area has now been reduced to dust, and
as said dust settled, one would notice that the once luscious green
scenery has now been reduced into a ragged desert.
“F*ck!
Shit! The hell.... Now what?!”
The chain of explicit words
came from a man in his late twenties. He is currently trying to tear
out his golden hair which seem to be discolored by some kind of brown
pigment.
“This isn't supposed to happen! All I wanted was a
drink! I've been sober for ten years! Can't the world just give me a
break?!”
He started cursing again, this time, stomping a foot.
A crack appeared beneath it, crawling towards the body of a fallen
soldier, two meters in front of him.
As the dust settled, it
showed several other bodies bathed beneath the gray light of the
early dawn. There were hundreds of soldiers burned and charred beyond
recognition, and at the middle of the plain, still standing on its
enormous hind legs and long horned tail, stood half the corpse of a
gigantic behemoth.
“F*ck...”, he gave a last curse as he
surveyed the area with a sigh. “Well, there doesn’t seem to be
any survivors,” another sigh. “Guess that means there aren't any
witnesses either.”
A large grin broke underneath a mass of thick brown tinted beard.
“And
it's not as if I killed any of them...”
He was about to walk
away when he heard something metallic fall on the ground behind him.
He
turned around and was face to face with a shaking suit of armor
holding on to a chipped bastard sword.
“Y-you...” the armor
stuttered. “Y-you... k-killed it... i-in one s-shot!!!”
The
man stared at the knight, his jaw hanging.
“Y-you... easily
killed the b-behemoth... that easily took out the Twin Kingdoms'
army! W-we have been trying to suppress it... for seven days and
seven nights... I was the last one standing... as my brothers... my
brothers... all lost their lives...”
The suit of armor buckled
up and shook harder as who ever was inside began to sob hysterically.
“Ugh... a witness...” the man mumbled. “And here, I
promised not to take an innocent life...”
“M-my lord and
master!” said the suit of armor who is now groveling at his feet.
”Please, tell me what your name is! Who is the hero who -”
“Sorry...” the man cut him off.
