"Standing on top of a hill sure gets the blood pumpin" the Manticore says.
"Haaaa" The Manticore breathed heavily "After all these years... The Manticore never really gets tired of seeing this old town of Karria every mornin', The Manticore thinks he might go piss on some of its houses later HAHA" says the Manticore while his eyes are twitching and he is laughing.
The Manticore headed down the hill, grazing over the grass. He stopped for a bit to smell the wonderful flowers of many colors, "Mmm, still fresh and fragrant as the day I first went here." he says.
But what was awaiting him down the hill was most prominent. It was a mob of about 50 men with guns and pitchforks at hand.
With a face of confusion and a mind not knowing of what this situation is, The Manticore only notices his daughter, being choked by a rope held by the man upfront, "Uhm, so what tis be the problem here folks?" he says while his whole body quivered with fear for his secret bastard daughter.
"We know what you are Alan. A beast terrorized our beloved town the same time you arrived and started "impressing" everyone with your immense abilities. Did you really think no one will notice the coincidence?" Marko, the leader, says.
"What are you talkin' about Marko? I've been good to you, to all of you and yet you blame me for being the beast who killed- who knows how many?" The Manticore questioned Marko and his accusations.
"Pft" Marko made a sound with his mouth, "There's no need to lie, I have evidence now. This- is your daughter!" Marko pointed at the Manticore's secret bastard daughter "This is your child! Not mine" he says as he shakes his head "My wife confessed to you to fucking behind my back! So I killed her, then your daughter saw the whole thing and well, she showed her true self. Luckily she isn't as strong as you as she went down without causing further harm to my community. Everyone saw, cried, looked down on her and they were disappointed. How about you, are you concerned in any way that you created this much pain to my people? Huh?!" He asked as he stepped further towards the Manticore.
The Manticore says "No!!! Because I am not a the beast, I'm telling you!" then he grabbed Marko by the shoulders, the other men pointed their weapons at him but he continues to say "So please, whatever you think Shara is, she isn't. She's just- cursed, alright? Please let go of her." The Manticore beggingly pleaded.
"Haha, cursed!?" then Marko removed the Manticore's grip on him and he stepped quite a bit away from the Manticore and he says "Kill her..." then Bam! Vernon, another man from Marko's mob, chopped Shara's head off, this made The Manticore lash out and choked, grabbed Marko in the neck and slowly transformed into his monster form, The Mighty Manticore. Every man in the area threw their pitchforks, and those with guns started firing at the Manticore
The Manticore revealed that he has a scorpion tail and stabbed two men simultaneously then he let his wings loose and flew high in the air until no one can see him nor Marko, and then he talked to Marko saying "Why? Why'd you do it, you bastard?" The Manticore asked
"Haha" Marko chuckled "She was the bastard" This angered the Manticore and he twisted and twirled and threw Marko as hard and as fast as he can to the ground, exploding Marko in the process he roared with agony but to the human mob, he roared like a beast informing them that now, The Manticore is here to kill them all!
