Nice Reunion

Alexander followed a familiar and nostalgic path until he arrived at his old cave. It was way smaller than he remembered.

Entering the small cave, he saw the burn marks and broken glass. Crouching, he picked a piece of broken glass. Old memories appeared in his mind. The time he spent carefully sculpting the glass and the so many times he failed to do it.

The joy from when he succeeded in his sculptures was still livid in his mind. But his expression still didn't change at all during the whole memory.

At a carriage on a road inside the forest.

"Why do we have to ride a carriage again?"

"Sir, please bear with it a little more. We are almost there"

"It's such an old and inefficient way of traveling. Why there isn't any teleporter here?"

"It's because this territory doesn't belong to the empire nor any faction sir. If we placed one, it may start a war"

"So what? The empire is the strongest, we don't need to fear anyone"

"I-I'm sorry sir, I don't understand enough of the empire to answer your question"

Inside the carriage, a young man with blond golden hair talked with his servant who tried to engage with him in the best way he could.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the same time, in the forest.

Three people were chasing after one person.

"Don't let him escape!"

Three knights in white shining armor were running at full speed while casting spells at the black-clothed person in front of them.

The black-clothed person was barely dodging the spells. He looked weak and out of breath.

"He's a high-ranking vampire! The church wasted a lot of resources to trap and kill him! If we can catch him the rewards won't be small!"

The vampire was way faster than them but he was injured, tired, and he couldn't escape with the spells hindering him.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alexander walked towards the village. He still didn't know what to do. It's been so long and he doesn't even know if that man is still alive.

When he arrived at the village, everyone looked at him. His white eyes, white hair, the tattoo on his arm, the torn clothes, and the scars all around his body made him stand out a lot.

His cold gaze passed through the villagers freezing them in place. It was a small village, and soon everyone heard of the white-haired stranger.

Alexander didn't talk to anyone as he walked while observing the village. People started becoming afraid of him. The situation continued until a young girl approached him.

"Uh... Sir? May I know why you came here? My father is the village chief but he isn't here right now so maybe I can help you?"

She looked at his white eyes and couldn't help but get embarrassed.

'Ignoring the torn clothes, he's really handsome'

Then her eyes traveled down and saw his chest completely exposed. His chiseled chest and abdomen were a very nice sight.

'Or maybe the torn clothes make him look even better...'

After realizing her own thoughts, she became ashamed of herself for thinking such things.

"I'm searching for someone" His words brought her back from her imagination.

"Who?"

"I don't remember his name, but he should be from this village"

"So it's a man. I don't know anyone other than the people already here. My father should be here soon. Why don't you wait at my house until you find him?"

"That won't be necessary" He said while looking at the group of people entering the village. He passed through her and went in the direction of the group.

"Stay here" He wasn't asking and she could feel it.

The group of people saw him and felt the pressure. They understood the stranger wasn't here to talk.

"Who are you?!" One hunter screamed while drawing his sword.

Alexander didn't bother answering. The hunter didn't like his lack of response and dashed while swinging his sword.

Alexander grabbed the sword with two fingers and crushed it. The hunter became paralyzed with fear. He looked at his broken sword in disbelief.

Without stopping walking, Alexander waved his hand and the hunter raised his arms to defend himself.

The group couldn't believe their eyes as they watched their companion flying and rolling on the ground like a spinning ball.

When the hunter's copse crashed on the wall, they could see his disfigured body. Half of his bones were broken, his head exploded and his limbs were in the wrong direction.

The villagers screamed running inside their houses. And the hunters shivered in fear while holding their weapons.

They started casting spells like fireballs and thunderbolts at Alexander, who didn't dodge anything at all. The spells hit him but they couldn't do any significant damage.

Alexander didn't feel like wasting time and dashed at the closest hunter. His hand pierced the hunter's chest killing him instantly. He grabbed another one by the head and separated it from his body decapitating him.

Bob, the hunters' leader threw up after watching the gruesome scene. Then he was totally consumed by fear when the white-haired man divided a hunter in half right in front of him.

There were only two left, Bob who fell to the ground and the other started running into the forest to escape. He was running and screaming for help but Alexander didn't let him go. He grabbed a rock from the ground and threw it at the hunter.

"Please, spare me! I have children!"

He couldn't run very far when his head suddenly exploded and his body fell.

"W-What did we do to you?!"

Bob started crying while screaming and crawling in fear. Alexander didn't want him to die easily so he invoked his sword and cut Bob's left foot.

"AAAAAAH!!!" Bob almost fainted from the pain.

He was preparing to cut Bob's right foot as well when someone stepped in front of him.

"P-please stop. H-he's my father" It was the young girl who talked to him earlier. She was crying in fear and shaking but she still tried to protect her father.
