Another loss

Ryu: Hm, Why you look sad

she looked at him with sad eyes talking in a sad tone

Haruka: the world has become a mess with no justice at all even the lords have left us and there is nothing left from all the greatness there was before. The strong peoples are taking over and killing innocent people with no mercy and no one is able to do something about it. The village is now working hard in the end..

Haruka seems saddened when she speaks and her voice even cracks

Haruka: our village gives everything to a orc tribe because they cant farm or work.

Farmer: but what can we do? the orcs are so much stronger than us and we cant fight against them even with our whole village they could easily wipe us all even our strongest warriors cant harm them in the slightest and we cant do anything but to do what they say

a torrent of memories rushes in ryu mind, echoing the tragic loss he suffered at the hands of the ruthless empire. The smoldering ruins of his once-thriving home flash before his eyes, and the echoes of laughter and warmth that once filled the air are replaced by the haunting echoes of screams and destruction.

Haruka: Lets forget this ryu come help me gather berries from the forest

He follows her

[3 hours later]

They both see huge fire in the village

they hear drums from gate

they both gaze orcs seizing the villages and killing the villagers

Ryu look at the blood on ground and dead bodies

Caught between the scars of his past and the unfolding tragedy before him, the boy stands at the crossroads of bitterness and empathy, grappling with the echoes of his own pain mirrored in the orcish onslaught

Orc Chief: Your time is up humans, you didnt give us enough resources

Ryu walks toward them with cold emotionless face looking at their chief with sharp eyes

Orc Chief: You got a new person? i have never seen this weird looking human before

The clash of steel and the guttural roars of the orcs resonate like a savage symphony

Ryu look at him with piercing eyes

Orc Chief: he laughs why is he looking at me like that, Bcor.

A big orc warrior stands infront of ryu he is 3 times bigger

Bcor: I will smash this little human he laughs

Ryu: i hate everyone and the lords have abandoned everyone but no one actually cares since all races think they are superior to each other.

Bcor: hey you what are you talking about i will smash u

Ryu says in a cold tone ignoring him

Ryu: but that doesnt matter, i will slaughter anyone who thinks of hurting the peoples close to me, i shall burn that person..

the orc warrior raises his fists to hit ryu

Ryu: slow

Ryu grabs his arm twisting it and punching his stomach making him get flinged to a tree

Orc Chief: Attack Him!

The orcs charge into ryu

Ryu jumps on their heads rushing to the leader

Orc Chief: Uhhhh- STOP HIM

The orc chief orders to stop Ryu, but he's relentless. A powerful kick sends the chief underground. The battlefield falls silent

The other orcs gets shocked and scared and try to run away

Ryu: you think im done

With a cold determination, he swiftly takes down the retreating orcs one by one, their attempts to escape futile in the face of his relentless vengeance

Elder Kazuo speaks under under a roof remains with a bloody face

Kazuo: The once-confident invaders now scatter in fear. *coughs*

Ryu: Uncle Kazuo!

Ryu rush towards him and lift the roof up in the air

Ryu: Hold on! i will get you help!

Kazuo: wait.. coughs my life is already over everyone is dead..

Ryu: But-

the old man smiles and talk in a tired voice

Kazuo: i knew you wasnt a normal human , but at least you saved haruka coughs she is still young.. than- yo-

kazuo closes his eyes with a grateful smile

Ryu carries kazuo lifeless body to haruka and look at her with frown

Haruka: Grandpa!

She hugs his body crying

Ryu simply leave the village without saying a word..
