"[N/N], [N,N]! Look what I found!! I wanna give it to Mama and Dada... do you think they'll like it?"

A petite female walks up to you, holding some flowers and sea shells in her hands. But her face... you couldn't see it. It was being covered by an unfamiliar marking.

"Yes, ████, I'm sure they'll love it. Why don't we go give it to them now?" You question the smaller female, patting her head with a smile.

Before the girl could answer, a shrill scream was heard, making your and the younger girl's eyes widen with fear. The girl immediately latched on to you, and you pick her up as she holds on to your neck from your back. You run towards the sound, reassuring the shaking girl who you were carrying.

Suddenly, you stopped. You stopped right at the entrance of a house. You looked in from the gate, taking a step back as you notice all the blood seeping through the front door. You place the girl down, looking at her with a stern look.

"I know you're scared, but I need you to run to the town and get help, all right?" You told the female, who began to cry.

"[N/N]..." She barely let out, too scared to even speak.

"It's okay, don't worry. Everything will be okay after. I'll come back to you safely, I promise." You held out your pinky, which the girl immediately embraces with her own, giving you a nod before running off towards the bustling town.

You let out a sigh, standing back up as you stared back at the front door of the building, watching as the blood no longer seeped out.

You hesitantly walked over, opening the door with wide eyes.

An older male looked at you, his eyes wide with tears flowing down his face. He had the same hair as the girl from before. The man was kneeled next to a feminine body that was laid on the floor, blood seeping out of the hole in it's stomach. Both of their faces were covered by a marking like the girl.

"[Y/N], it's not safe here! You need to get out of here before—"

The male was cut off as he coughed up blood, holding onto his own chest as you pat him on the back.

"Please, leave. Or else he'll come back, and kill you too!" The man shouted, as more tears ran down his face. He begun muttering apologies, saying how everything was his fault. However, you didn't care, as your brain was only focused on one thing.

"He? Who's-"

The front door burst open, making you immediately turn towards it with shock. You gasped, eyes shaking with fear as you see who's at the door.

It was none other than—

"Misses Crocodile! Are you alright?"

I look up, seeing Zala holding onto my shoulder.

"I'm perfectly fine, why do you ask?" I inquire, and the female frowns.

"I've been calling your name for quite some time now," she points out, making me look at her with a strange look.

I simply shrug, not thinking much of the situation, and continue following the two ducks as well, until they eventually halted.

"You guys have good instincts! That's right, I' Princess Vivi!" One of the people exclaimed, only for the other to follow saying that they're actually the Princess, which simply irritates both Mr. 1 and Zala.
