Eye of Shadow

A world for a stage and people for puppets, seldom do they free themselves from their forced destiny's. A journey of a 150 tears and 150 false redemptions. The truth once assumed concealed is the passing joy of another, or the mocking call of the many. They are followed by the world of old viewing upon them eternal judgement, and total alienation from their past inner and outer being.

The young men were undaunted by their shouts, and some began picking up weapons. They knew her, she ran the oprhanage that many of them were raised at. Some of these ungrateful older men were also raised by her but tossed the memories aside for their wifes. The air was thick with murderous intent as the largely unarmed group that lynched the demon was shouting at the armed group of young men.

(Teenager1)"Why!"

(Young Man1)"She lived with us for as long as the town was here!"

(Teenager2)"You killed an elder! Not a demon!"

(Old lady1)"What would you men know!?"

(Elderly lady1)"This demon was always plotting against us!"

(Old lady2)"We should kill you all for standing on her side!"

The two groups were divided quickly, one believed in killing the demons as she preached. The other didn't want the change, they liked the old, the past, the traditions it had. They knew the demon first hand, she was a kind older lady who was like a family member to them.

(Teenager3)"She ran an orphanage!"

(Young man2"She was like a mother to many of us!"

(Teenager4)"I will kill you!"

The older men pointed and were going to shout at the young men who were getting more riled up when someone stabbed his dagger into the chest of an old lady carrying the succubus's horn. Her body fell lifeless on the floor as he pulled it out, everyone turned silent staring at it.

(Young man3)"Kill them all!"

It was like a lightswitch, the mood went from shouting to stabbing and screaming. The old ladies and ugly women who were previously proud of their achievement of murdering the demon that always was in their town, were in fear. The young men outnumbered their husbands, and they started running and screaming in different directions.

(Elderly lady2)"They are demons!"

(Old woman)"Run!"

(Teenager)"Kill them!"

(Young man)"I will burn them alive!"

The guards grabbed Elia and they ran out, and they saw the an older lady being stomped to death by a group of teens. They went around killing everyone who stood against them, it was a massacre. The fat old man who dragged the body in was shot to death with a bow and arrow after beating up four men, the old woman were all being killed. Unable to run or flee, they were like helpless chickens at the slaughterhouse, a certain group of young men was the most violent of all.

(Teenager)"I will kill your entire family!"

(Young Man)"Burn that damn witch! She caused this all!"

(Middle aged man)"She deserves the same fate as mother!"

They were young men directly raised at her orphanage, they came back from their busy lives to see her again and check out the display many were talking about. The pain of not seeing a loved one in years, only to be murdered by strangers who shouted at them made them bloodthirsty beyond madness.

Her guard put her on his shoulder and they began running full speed without stopping, they got out thankfully but she was looking at it in pure terror. The town still had flames going up, and the screams and shouts could still be heard half a mile away.
