Oh The Mighty Manticore has fallen, a bit ironic especially that he can fly and he was sitting on the tallest tree in the whole world, The Indestructible Grandebero Tree. He was in his human form and was contemplating on he has done and what the old man did.
"Why'd he do it? I killed those women for him! Of course I could've at least left the children alone,.. but they tend to become worst than their parents if they're expose too long" The Manticore contemplated very deeply and is still in distraught as to what the old man did to himself.
The Manticore jump to try to end his life... he reminisce all about what he has done, kill, murder, fornication, and lots of other crimes to the world and its people... and as he was about to drop down to sharp killer roots of the Grandebero tree, he remembered his daughter, then he suddenly woke up, transformed and opened his wings... he flew high again to gently land on of the Grandebero tree's roots...
He spoke to himself, monologuing "My daughter, sweet, kind, and caring. Basically everything opposite of me... somehow, she barely possessed anything about me, that's the big reason I loved her... she will not be forgotten..." then he suddenly spotted a barbarian, harrassing and trying to steal from a poor, weak and innocent looking little girl in a white cloak and boots so high it touched her knees,.. "Hmm What's going on?" then he flew fast to head to the mugging... once he was on top of the barbarian and the girl, he tackled the barbarian, overwhelming him with his mythical strength. "So why do you attack the weak, scum!?"
"Ohhh, HAHAHA funny, very funny. I could say the same to you, beast!" the barbarian said to the Manticore "Isn't killing your thing?"
The Manticore grabbed him by the throat and stood straight up then he asked the girl "What does he want from you?"
"Uhm just, some, uhm" the girl barely said anything
"Speak it out girl, no reason to be afraid of me" the Manticore said to her
Full of confusion and fear, the girl told the Manticore "But you kill... for pleasure"
The Manticore has no words, he was silenced as he looked to himself via some water on the ground then he looked to the barbarian and thought, they raid, they pillage, and they kill, and- they think they're right, just like him. So the Manticore thought to himself, why not just stop it all and make sure nothing and no one ever becomes nothing like him, someone who's addicted to killing for... pleasure, but he still looked at the barbarian very intently and said "No, I kill for justice!" then he grabbed the barbarian by the legs and tore him in half, this made the girl very scared and she quickly stormed off... but the Manticore notices she forgot about her valuables. Now with a new perspective, he set out to prove that he is a better man and went to find the girl and remake what justice truly means, so he flew high and saw a glimpse of her white cloak in the distance "What speed?!" the Manticore said as he was shocked at little girl's speed through, so he tried his best to follow her but to no avail, she was lost in the forest... but the Mighty Manticore, with his new goals and ambition, didn't give up and followed her scent hoping to find her and return her possessions
