"Don't go too far away from the house! Ok, marie!? " The voice of my dad, Carl shouted." And Jacob help your big sister, alright."

"Yeah, yeah I got it old man!" My little brother, Jacob shouted in response.

I walk carrying a large basket for the caught fish. And Jacob is holding the fishing pole.

"Are you really okay, Jacob? You'd just heal from your sickness," I Said, walking by his side.

"I'm alright sis! Just trust me, I'm a strong boy, " Jacob said with pride.

I giggled at my brother's words, "Strong? You can't even barely lift one of dad's swords. "

" Hey! I'm trying okay! " He shouted, his face red from embarrassment, " I don't how the old man can hold that thing with such ease! And, I don't see you doing any better than me, sis! "

" I'm a lady, I don't need to lift such brutish tools, " I said.

Jacob looked at me annoyed, " Stop talking like that! It doesn't fit you, and a lady? Where? "

I smacked his head, my eyes narrowed, "Rude. I'll have you know, i've been practicing how to dance."

"And? What does that have to do with anything?"

" To be more noble like, duh! You don't see noble girls not dancing? You've seen lady Breta right? She looks absolutely stunning, with the way she dances!"

He looked at me with a smug grin, " I don't see my sister, who cleaned dirt from horses, being in her shoes tho."

I looked at him, with an annoyed expression. This brother of mine, don't believe in her big sister to become a noble one day; with knights in shining armor protecting me. He always jokes about my dreams.

"Yeah!? Well, I don't see you becoming a Swordsman with your weak, and feeble arms Little Brother!" I said.

" Nuh uh!" He shouted," I trained a lot! And I could myself improving, I did not even catch a glimpse at you training, to be a noble you just sit around all day all long. "

" Am not! I helped with mother with cooking our food; you're the one who doesn't help with anything in the house. All you do, is swing a skinny twig and call it training!"

He humph, looking away, clearly annoyed.

" Can't even say anything m? I win, ha! Stupid brother! " I ruffled his hair.

As we walk, the closer we are at getting to the small river just far away from our house. There's a bunch of delicious fishes around there. Though father, strictly forbids us across the river.

"We're here! " Jacob exclaimed.

I put down the basket, near a boulder where Jacob sits and prepared his baits, and went to the water.

The water is cold on my feet, and the heat from walking immediately disappears, as soothing water gently caresses my legs as it flows.

This was one of my favorite part of going here, as Jacob is the only one who has to do the fishing I could just relax.

Jacob looks at me with infuriated eyes, "This is all you do? Dance around, not even helping me?"

I shrugged, "Oh please, lil brother. You're more than capable then I am. And I suppose a lady such as myself, to be dirty?" I rationally explained.

" Yeah, " he replied with a monotone tone.

I giggled at my brother's cute annoyed face.

I went back to wash my feet. My smile fades as I feel an ominous feeling in the air. I looked back and found nothing.

But the moment I looked across the river, my body froze.

I saw a muscular man waving at me, inhumanly smiling at me. The man barely have any clothes to hide his body. But I also noticed the man carrying some sort of weapon.

I was able to break out of my fear. Running back to land.

"Jacob! We need to le-"

Jacob is stabbed by an arrow on the throat.

"J-acob?..."

I could not process the information, I couldn't. I slowly walked to my brother shaking him.

There was no response.

My eyes tears. My whole body shaking.

I want to scream, but before I could-

"Hehehehehe~ Girl~" A brutish voice echoes at my back.

To scared to look. No, I didn't waste time, as I bolted into a dash towards back my home.

I have abandoned my brother.

"Hah! Hah! Hah! Hah!"

My breathing became harsh, as I runned for my life. Not looking back, afraid of what's chasing me. I heard no footsteps, but I was too scared to look back.

I run, my soul becoming more light as I got closer to my home.

I was able to see it!

"Mother!! Father!!"

I screamed, I dash straight for the door and the moment I opened it. I was greeted by a disgusting smell of blood.

My eyes lose its vision, as I gaze at my father's beheaded body.

My mother is not sight.

"Heheheheh~ Girl~"

But before I could process the situation, my vision was suddenly coated.

And I ..

..

Break

..

A repugnant aura contaminated the air, as beings of darkness celebrate their successful invasion.

Orcs, imps, goblins, dance in death, as their macabre victory filled the demonic air with malevolent joy.

But, just far from the camp steel cages containing the victims of the village they recently village in the name of their dark Queen, so they cheer.

Naked women, not a man in sight, fill the claustrophobic primitive cages. Their face say not a positive expression. As they know their fate in the hands of these monsters.

Some cried, some have a empty look, anything but positive.

One girl prayed, but this seems to do nothing, as thr atmosphere of the air is suffocating degree.

A lone imp wanders on one of the cages containing the local nun of the village. Its lower half aroused, and his mouth drool from sick desire.

The imp gleefully bash its wooden club on the steel bars, scaring the poor child. But this sick being seems to take extreme pleasure watching the child traumatic expression.

It tried to get in, but the heavy shout of the Orc immediately stopped the imp's intention; having a scared on its face.

The gremlin look back, mocking the child. Which cause the poor to cry even further, but unfortunately for her there's no one to comfort her as she for her mother.

A woman watched the child in pity, compassion surprisingly still present on her eyes -- even with the soul crushing their in -- but her beaten body, from resisting one of the monsters, wouldn't let her do anything, not even talk.

Her dried lips tried tho, but this is only wasted effort. As mere weak breath came out of her mouth.

'Goddess, please help us. ' she prayed in her mind.

She hope, even if it hurt her soul, for someone to help them.

But reality shows cruelty, as it always does, as it always have.

No came for them, not a human intending rescue arrived. The only thing this hope does, is crush their soul even further.

But.

Someone did came.

Or more appropriately, something arrive.

The women caged was suddenly disturbed by the sound of screaming, and the groans of pain.

"Rahhhh!!-"

*Slash*

The sound of a sword cutting though flesh echoed in the dark forest.

*Slash*

The sound of monsters screaming decreases each second passed.

*Slash*

The forest gradually getting silent. Until the only sound that could be heard is the sound of crackling from the bonefire, the monsters have set up.

"Someone came rescue us!" One of the females shouted in relieved joy.

The previously sundered hope is rekindle.

The women grow louder as the screamed for help.

Some begin cry...

But their hope once again was shattered, when the "Savior" came into view.

A demonic humanoid, illuminated by the orange glow of the bonefire, came out of the darkness.

But this is no human.

Their hope crushed.

This is another monster.

Having its limb replace by swords, coated in greenish red blood, having a large sword-- that looks like a great sword-- ejected from its head, yet no blood is present. Exposed teeth, forming a devilish grin.

The women fully gave up. Some laugh, their sanity crushed. They cried in hopelessness.

Fate is laughing at them.

The Sword monster, merely look at their suffering. Not having at unce of emotion.

It walked closer.

And stared again.

"Just kill me monster!"

One of the woman shouted, in desperate anger. Her mind fully succumbing to the hopelessness of their fate; losing its survival instinct.

But the demon didn't respond, but it instead raise one of the bladed arm.

Seeing this, the woman face tightens, bracing for the inevitable darkness. Yet a smile, that has nothing to lose, is present in her face.

The monster swing in blurring speed.

The woman small softens, " Yilva, mother is coming..."

The other females watched in terror.

.

..

...

....

"Huh?..."

But the reaper's bell didn't ring.

"Why am I sti-"

Before the woman could utter her words, the cage split open. Cutting the rough iron bars with ease.

But the woman was unharmed.

Seeing the cage open, she expects the worse. Thinking the beast is only playing with her.

"You inhum-"

The demon walked away, going to the other cages.

The demon did the same, it slashed the cage open leaving the women inside harm.

The beast repeats this strange action, until all the females have been released from their Imprisonment.

The women's face have a bewildered, confused, and flabbergasted expression as the beast ignored them, and merely stare them.

The previously horrifying atmosphere, turned awkward, as the women for the beast to do something.

They expects the worse, being raped, being tortured, being devoured. But none of those expections is realize when the women see the monster not doing anything, aside from staring at them, though could not see its eyes as it is covered by the large blade.

"Leave."

The demon finally spoke, surprising the women due to its otherworldly voice.

"There must be a group Knight somewhere nere, ask them for assistance."

The beast spoke with surprising clarity. Its words held no malice. Advising them to ask for help?

"What are you?" A small girl asked.

The Sword Demon turned its head towards the girl.

"What I am is not important at the moment, little child."

The demon said.

"The only thing that's important is you lot, getting away form this dangerous area. And alarming the knights from the demons that lurked in this forest."

It said. Each word spoken, becoming more and more clear.

The humans are confused. Why is a demon helping them? Is this just a scheme? To let their guard down, so it could have its way with their body. But why? Why go all this effort? The beast is clearly strong, capable of annihilating a platoon of monsters, containing Orcs and other strong monsters. It could easily kill them, or apprehend them If it so chose.

"Why would we bel-"

"Stop asking questions and leave! You foolish idiots!"

It shouted, clearly losing its patience.

" I still have to deal the other monster, and you not following instructions is hindering from doin so! "

The women shrieked in terror from the aura the beast exudes.

But they didn't listen.

Seeing this, the demon shouted.

" GET. THE. FUCK. OUT! "
