Around the period of 500 AD there lived land as far as the eye can see. Each sight as beautiful as the last with its vast lands of green fields and blue waters and the red blood that covered it all. That's right this world is stained in the blood of men that fell in wars. There's nothing beautiful about any of it yet, it was glorious in its own way. The swords and spares stood tall like trees in the forest while the shields and bodies laid sturdy on the ground like rocks and boulders. The broken towers, walls, and cannons were the mountains while the blood ran like a river stream.

War is war but, what turns the tides is a hero, a cavalry, and a strategy. This was the period of heroes and that's exactly what I was going to be!

Store owner: STOP THAT HOODLUM....I'll give a reward to anyone who does!!!

Child: come on man it's just an apple can't ya get another!!

Dashing through the crowd of hungry hands ready to grab at me just to claim they did good. Bullshit that's all it is, heroic acts are just spotlights for anyone to be a charming asshole. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Passerby:......what's going on here

Crowd: "Get that little thief!!!!"

That's all I heard every turn I took, tsk!! If it wasn't for that damn reward you all would have left me alone this is only self righteous.....no one's a hero in this world....I gotta run even faster than before.

Man: I got him!!!

No, I can't be caught not like this. I'm too good for trouble y'know.

Man: ha!!!.....wait what! He slid from under!!!!

Child: If you wanna catch me you gotta be quicker than that hahaha....I'll survive no matter what.

Man: That bastard, forget about the reward ya ain't gonna make a fool out of me!!!

Child: try it old man nothing can catch me so what makes you so special.

But at that moment.....I fucked up. I didn't know how i let it happen but I was pulled into a dead end of an alley at that moment I thought I was gonna die

Passerby: what was it you stole?

Child: Just a damn apple is that so bad!

Passerby: well no...and yes

Child: wha.....don't shit with me unlike you my home is the dirt I sleep under ya ass!

Passerby:...... to have the nerve to call me an ass is the same as insulting the honor of the Norah's name you impulsive fool

I blinked for a quick second and all I saw was an unhooded girl looking down at me. All I could have done was stare back into her red eyes. Whatever I did I knew I was gonna pay for it because as soon as I gulped I felt the tip of something sharp glaring down my neck. Then I came to the realization that a strange sword was pointed at my throat. This was a fight and the one standing will be the one with the advantage but, I was on the ground....shit! What can I do now?

Girl: Give me your name you impulsive fool.

Boy: what for?

Girl: to identify your body afterwards

I'm not dying today, not ever. This girl obviously underestimates me, even as a human I'm unqualified in her eyes. I just knew it! That's too bad because even animals desire life and do whatever it takes to live.

Boy: the names Dezra and remember it

And at that moment my hand gripped the earth and I flinged it right at her
