All Monster Killers: (Unsheathing their swords)

General Tron's POV

Monsters coming in all directions. We watch as they appear one by one and gets closer to us. Grips on our swords gets tighter, heart beats gets louder, roars and cries of Monsters starts to fill the place..... It was too loud for human ears.. but the Adrenaline rush that I was feeling turnned me deaf and was making me aggressive and violently ready to kill this Monsters. This happening is making me remember the first time the curse had happened....

40 Years ago in Hilleongord...

I was 15 years old when it happened. The land was shaking, huge rocks and debris were falling and the land was cracking and tearing apart. Tike!! Tike!! Where are you??..... I tried finding my older brother but I couldn't find him. My brother and I, are the only ones beside each other now. We've lost our parents.. due to a fatal sickness. We were just poor, and our parents were both just working in a farm. They only get a small salary from working there, and it was just enough for us... to buy food and eat atleast two meals a day. We didn't have money, it was so hard we didn't know what to do at that time. We were so young, and too small to have jobs. Eleonor can't heal people nor bring them back to life. She said it was because she doesn't meddle with life's Algorithm, and can't go against people's time. So the only thing we could do at that time was look out and take care of our parents....while we still have them, but then the day came, and we lost them. I watched in horror as black skies began to form, the thunder was so loud and the lightning was something I've never seen before. It was so furious and scary that everyone... even the toughest man will crawl and beg for mercy. Everyone was so scared and some were crying... it was as if...It was the end of the world. And that's when I saw my brother, Tike!!( I called out) Despite all the chaos that was happening, seeing him made me the happiest person alive, even in the situation we are in. He is the most important person to me, and the last person I want to get hurt. He is the only family that I have left, we hugged each other like it's been years of not seeing each other. And that's when Monsters were born...

(Actually those Monsters already exist, but they were from a far place... Eleonor only made a Portal for them to get into the Mortals world.)

We hold each other's hand and watched in horror as Monsters were eating and tearing people's body apart. We started running as fast as we could, fortunately we made it into a small cave. As we hide and made it in there safely... We saw an old woman and a man with their daughter inside. They were so scared, the old man was holding on to his family while he was looking at us, as if we were also a threat to them. The old man looks scared and suspicious of us, but before it went badly enough, my brother cleared the suspicion and said that we mean no harm to them, and that we are invulnerable of those acts, we just really need a place to hide for the time being. Because of the chaos that's happening outside..... The war and chaos didn't end sooner, so we asked them if we could stay a little bit longer..... and thankfully they accepted it. So we stayed there for a couple more days and nights..... The family and us, began to get closer and started talking to each other.

After 3 weeks, we started to ran out of foods and supplies. Although it seems quieter and peaceful outside, Monster can still be seen as they were still lurking in the place, waiting to hunt its next prey. As our supplies started to ran out..... my brother and the old man (George) thought of going outside to search for foods and supplies. I offered to join and be with them on the journey, but my brother didn't allow it. He said I was still a kid and that it was too dangerous..... so I stayed and took care of the family. But before they left.... I gave my brother a pendant. It was our Mom's but since both my parents are gone now... I've kept it as a reminder of them.

Tikes's POV

When we got out of the cave, the foul smell of blood fills the air, torn bodies and pieces of human flesh can be seen in the ground. I picked a piece of cloth and covered my nose, for the smell was too strong and unbearable. It's been hours now, we kept walking and walking but we have not seen a single supply yet, instead we always get to encounter with a Monster lurking. Luckily we always see them first, so we always get to hide earlier... before they could notice us. After more walking, we finally saw an inn not far from us. The door was broken and it seems like it has been abandoned by the owner... or the owner must have been killed by the Monsters. We first looked around if someone or some sort of Monster was there, but no sign of noise can be heard nor any living thing. So we entered the room and took as many supplies as we can find and get.... Breads, fruits that can still be eaten, ingredients for cooking such as pepper,salt, flour etc. and wine was there. The supplies we got was still not enough, so we went hunting for rabbits. We would have hunted for something bigger than a rabbit, but we were afraid we couldn't carry it, if ever we needed to run, from Monsters. As we caught 10 rabbits, we both agreed to go home. After hours of walking, we finally reached home. But before I could get to the cave, I remembered we didn't have woods to start a fire. So I told George to go inside the cave first. I gave him the supplies I gathered, and I went to get some other things. He told me not to go, as it was too dangerous for soon it will start to turn dark. But I told him, the rabbits would go spoiled and go bad right away...and that we have to cook it so we can eat it for a long time.... He couldn't say no to that, as I was stating a fact, and he knows how hard we've been through just to get those supplies, so he greed and just told me to take care and be back soon.

The forest was a little farther from the cave. I gathered and picked up woods, dry grass and stones. As the last ray of sunshine went out, I decided to head back. A few more walks and I was already at the opening of the cave, I've decided to put the things down and threw it inside the cave, as my back started to kill me. When I finally got back up, I suddenly felt a deep breath and water dripping from my clothes, when I looked up, I saw a Monster staring at me, with it's mouth wide open. He was sitting at the roof of the cave. I let out a loud gasp. And it started attacking me, scratching me all around. I tried resisting and getting away but it was too strong..

Meanwhile... Young Tron's POV

Tron: Uhm George.. when will my brother come back?

Anna (the little girl): Do you miss him already Uncle Tron?

(Though we aren't really related, I agreed that she can call me Uncle. I just smiled and nodded at her in response)

George: Oh he just went out to get woods and other things.. He should be back soon.

Tron: But it's been minutes now... why is he still not here?

George: I guess he's already near.. You should go wait for him near the opening, just don't go out. Okay??

Tron: Okay!.... Anna stay here okay? I'll just look for my brother.

(Anna nodded)

As I was walking towards the opening. I saw woods, stones and dry grass lying on the floor. That's when I realized my brother must be here already. I got excited and went towards the opening but instead what I saw broke my heart and brought me to tears...

Tron: No!!!..no!!..no!!..no!!! (Yells and looks confused)

George: What.. what is it? (Processing what was happening and seeing the spilled blood outside the cave) Oh no... How? Where is he??

Tron: (sobs)

George: But..but these things, he got it here.... no other person would take these here instead of him... Why is he still not here??!

(Lucy his wife hugged me and tried to comfort me, as well as Anna).

That's when I realized I have really lost my brother.
