Persefoni: *panting*
This is Persefoni. One of the immortal races. She is being chased by some seasoned bandits who were warriors in the kingdom
And will sell her to be a slave because immortals are now getting endangered and very valuable.
The Immortal's magic is very strong that it's almost as powerful as the elves themselves. Immortals cannot die from old age or poison.
They can regenerate their body structures and they might increase their resistance to magic and their tolerance to the pain every regeneration, however, they have a weakness, true they can regenerate their bones, organs, muscles, wounds, etc.
Though they cannot regenerate their soul.
Some immortals cannot take fire magic as well (since that magic might halt their regeneration). "The Great World War" this war, Greatly reduced the number of all the races. The war has already ended 6,500 years ago. But the immortal are still few. They cannot keep up with the world's population. That's now the reason why the immortals are rare beings and are always in hiding.
And since Persefoni is one of them. If she gets caught. She'll be a slave to the humans or the other races who are willing to buy her.
Persefoni: shit, I gotta be fast! Good thing I can outrun them, but my stamina won't last long! Damn it!
Bandits: don't worry little missy! We promise we'll take care of YOU. Hahahaha!
Persefoni: hah! Over. My. Dead. Body!
*trips over a thorned vine*
Persefoni: FREAK! Welp. That was... Unexpected.
Bandit: yeah. At least we can sell you already! Don't want you to be damaged even further! Hehe.
Persefoni scans the whole area. There are 8 bandits in total. But she has a feeling it's missing one... And the missing one is the bandit boss
Bandit boss: forgot about me, little missy?
Persefoni: uhh.. Kind of..?
Bandit boss: aww that breaks my big but soft heart you know? But I guess it's fine... YOU'LL BE A SLAVE ANYWAY! HAHAHAHA!
Persefoni: SHIT!
Bandit: let's go, little missy!
Persefoni: *nononononononono! I don't wanna be someone's battle or *** slave or something!*
Then a faint whistle distracted them
Bandit: Who's ther-
The mysterious kid punches the bandit out cold
Bandits: what the?!
The other bandits were also out called after they see the other bandits being knocked out. Though the bandit boss could barely block his movements.
Bandit boss: you have skills kid...
??? :hmph. I know you just barely blocked my kick.
Bandit boss: true... But you are badly wounded than me, who can still FIGHT!
??? : let's see about that... BRING. IT. ON!
The mysterious kid and the bandit boss fight.
As they were fighting. Persefoni is figuring out how to help him, the mysterious kid. But the unexpected happened.
The kid has already defeated the Bandit boss.
Bandit boss: *panting* you got skills kid... You... Got some skills... How old... Are you...?
??? : I'm... Just 7 years old.
Bandit boss: 7 years old huh... To be beaten by a... 7 year... Old... But... At least... I got to fight... Someone as rare... As you.
??? : what do you mean..?
Bandit boss: kids these days... Are getting lazier... And weaker... Some only wanted... To fight their... Boredom... And keep on looking... Down to others... But you... You never looked down on me...
??? : heh. I know people these days are getting lazier. But the poor keep on grinding for success. While the Nobles sits on their fancy castles just watching the poor. Trying to cling for success.
Bandit boss: tell me, kid... Who are you.?
??? : you may be a bandit but you still have some heart of a warrior huh? That I respect you. My name is... Seth Saiya.
Bandit boss: Seth... Saiya? I'll remember. That name... Seth... Ugh.....
Seth: I respect you. Even though I never know your name. I'll make sure you'll be remembered not as a bandit leader. But as a true Knight.
Now then. You can come out now.
Persefoni: you really are strong...
Seth: I see now why they're chasing you.
Persefoni: don't tell me...
Seth: I won't come after you. If I want to Sell you I could have ignored you then.
Persefoni: I-.. I see...
Seth: tell me what is your name?
Persefoni: I'm Persefoni Niles
Seth: Seth Saiya. Now if you would excuse me.
Persefoni: hmm..?
Seth: I'll lay down and bleed to death now.
*Seth Faints*
Persefoni: se-Seth! Hold on! Seth!
Chapter 1: End
Next Chapter 2:
The Shadow Stalker
Somewhere in the Forest...
Persefoni: hold on Seth, we're almost in the cave!
Persefoni is trying to pull Seth in a crave to tend his wounds, however, Seth might not be able to live due to too much blood loss. After an hour later they finally found a cave. Persefoni and Seth are currently resting in that place. But they did not expect a Shadow Stalker.
Persefoni already sensed him right after they were gonna rest.
Persefoni thinks she can take on the little shadow Stalker. But he is too fast.
Persefoni: COME HERE YOU LITTLE BRAT!
Shadow Stalker:...
The shadow Stalker is attacking Persefoni furiously. But Persefoni manages to block a few hits from him. Though she cannot run or jump since her leg is still injured. Since Persefoni's a kid her healing rate is slow. Though it will take a full day to regenerate a limb.
The shadow Stalker keeps on jumping around to hurt Persefoni. Little did he know Persefoni is just waiting... For a chance...
To Counter!
Persefoni grabs the Shadow Stalker's tail.
The Shadow Stalker Smirked because his tail is very poisonous.
But he did not know Persefoni is immune to poison.
Then Persefoni slammed the Shadow Stalker into the ground! The shadow Stalker was stunned for a while.
But enough time for Persefoni to steal the Dagger and wound his legs. The shadow Stalker's legs are now in a condition that he can't run or jump anymore.
Persefoni: enough games! Tell me who you are and why are you targeting us?!
Shadow Stalker: ...
Persefoni: you won't talk huh? I see.
Persefoni broke the Dagger until it looked like it has no use anymore. The Shadow Stalker shrieks.
Shadow Stalker: NNNNNOOOO!! MY PRECIOUS DAGGER! ANYTHING BUT MY PRECIOUS DAGGER!!!
Persefoni: *he likes this Dagger?! But it looks old and worn out...* I'll give your Dagger back. IF you tell me WHO you are!
Shadow Stalker: MY NAME IS AKUMA AND I ONLY TRY TO GET FOOD! BUT I JUST PANICKED AND ATTACK I'M SORRY! PLEASE JUST GIVE ME BACK MY DAGGER!!
Persefoni: alright jeez why do you even want this worn-off Dagger?
Akuma: Because someone precious gave that to me!
Persefoni: I see... *welp I kinda understand why but the real question is... What is he...? He's dark in color... And a tail with poison stingers... Hmm... I think his... No. This has to wait! Seth is about to die! But I have to make sure he's not going to attack us again!*
How am I sure that you're NOT gonna attack us again?
Akuma: you have my word on that since you have bested in even with a broken leg. Just please don't kill me!
Persefoni: fine I won't. Just don't try to kill us!
Akuma: I won't!
Persefoni: if you would excuse me I have to save his life!
Akuma: I know a herb. That might save his life... Although...
Persefoni: although..?
Akuma: it needs some of the blood of the one who needs to heal him. This is very effective and guaranteed that this herb can save his life.
Persefoni: how did you know this..?
Akuma: my mum did the same to me... I was supposed to die very early... But she saved me with this method. You just need your blood to fuse your blood through his veins. That way the herb would be more effective.
Persefoni: how would I know you're not lying?
Akuma: if you really want him to live. Then trust me. What I've done a while ago was out of confusion and I panicked
Persefoni: all right... I trust you... But if I do this... He'll be my brother... Right..?
Akuma: yes. Hell be your half brother.
Persefoni: welp. Here goes nothing.
Persefoni infused her blood with Seth's blood in his veins. Then Persefoni applies the herb to him. Both of them were surprised. Why? Not only the herb did work, Seth's hair change into half silver and half blonde. Then Seth's right pupil turned blood red. But they of course could not see the eyes.
Persefoni did not expect that the herb would be this effective. But Seth is still unconscious.
Persefoni waited for him to be awake. She told Akuma he can go, but Akuma just stayed. Because he was impressed that Persefoni could catch him with her own bare hands.
And so Akuma and Persefoni are waiting, waiting for Seth's revival.
Chapter 2: End
Next:
Chapter 3: The Trio's survival.
Inside the cave where Persefoni dragged Seth into and where akuma and Persefoni fought.
Timelapse: almost Morning
Seth wakes up Looking around his surroundings.
He saw Persefoni and a dark figure. He immediately realaize its a Shadow Stalker. Its quite rare since they only come out at night and they don't trust other races.
Seth: hm. Persefoni must have persuaded him. I wonder how. Welp. Doesn't matter
If he tries anything funny' I'll kill him. But for now, I'll hunt for food. I guess 3 boars would be enough. Gotta start huntin'
Seth ventures off in to the wilds. Finding food for the others. While he was doing that he goes to a nearby lake to freshen up. When he got there he took off his clothes then took a quick wash.
Then he realised. When he looks at the clear pond. His hair is now half blonde and half silver. And his eyes, the left is bright orange. While on the right, is bloody red.
Seth Saiya was a little bit shocked to see his new appearance. He kinda likes it. After admiring his new appearance he finished his wash. Then he goes back to hunt. He successfully hunted 3 boars easily than how he hunted before.
He feels like his new appearance is the reason for this. But he still needs to figure out how. He already adapted faster than normal before but with this "appearance" his adapting faster than he was before. But nonetheless he successfully hunted the boars. But then...
There are a pack of wolves. Around 14 of them in total. Ready to pounce at Seth. Seth is getting ready aswell. He stands to his usual formation. But this wolves are not normal wolves... All of them are direwolves!
Seth: cmon. Show me you guys got! Let's see if you direwolves can defeat a mere child!
The direwolves were furious its as if he can understand what Seth was saying. Seth killed all of the dire wolves. Except the leader. The direwolf leader is a pain in the ***.
Seth and the leader started to battle. Seth defeated the dire wolf. But Seth have recieved too much wounds that he needs to rest. But strangely. His wounds started to healing very fast!
Seth: what the heck..? My wounds... Are healing..?
!?
The dire wolf leader is standing in front of him. Seth was unable to stand up because his wounds just started to heal. But the dire wolf.. Bows down to seth. As if his acknowledging his new master
Direwolf: kiddo. I know acknowledged you as my master. Please give me a name.
Seth: (confused) ah.. Alright..? If your really want me to be your master then I won't judge...
Do you really have to have a name?
Direwolf: yes master.
Seth: I see... I got to think of a unique name then... Hmm... How about... I think... I'm gonna call you. Amarok.
Amarok: Amarok..? I humbly accept it master! I'll treasure it for life! I thank you master!
Seth: alright alright! Jeez... Now that I think of it... Are you guys the only ones..?
Amarok: the only wolves here..? Oh we are probably the only ones in this remote forest. But don't worry. There are still many wolves around the forests.
Seth: I see. Are other wolves nearby?
Amarok: for now I sense none so we will be safe.
Seth: great the boars are now ruined.
Amarok: give the order master... And I'll be the one to hunt for you!
Seth: let's just hunt together. Because I also want to find seasonings for the food to taste better than just cooking it.
Amarok: I see! Very well master! I will help you hunt and gather seasonings!
Seth: all right let's go!
Amarok howls.
And the hunt starts.
Amarok hunts for food while Seth is gathering resources and some plants used for seasonings both of them returned to the place where they met. And Seth leads Amarok to his home.
Seth sees the Shadow Stalker (Akuma) and Persefoni still sleeping.
Seth: ...
Amarok: should I dispose this people?
Seth: no I know them its just that... I'm still surprised that there still sleeping...
Amarok: then what should I do?
Seth: I'll cook some food now. When the food is ready you give them a good scare.
Amarok: Yes Master!
Seth: alright.. What to cook... Hmm... I should make a sizzling plate. Oh wait. I do have a sizzling plate. Welp better start working.
Seth starts to chop the the meat to small pieces. Then Seth puts them in to a small iron plate. Seth heats up the fire. Then starts cooking the finely chopped boar. The pork starts sizzling. Amarok drools as the food is getting cooked.
Amarok: master what are you cooking..?
Seth: oh its something I cooked before. Its called sisig.
Amarok: sisig...? I see master. That's the name of that delicious looking food!
Seth: it will be ready. Just wait.
