Crimson Sin

The Origin Of Sin

3rd person POV:

Rebecca and the mysterious Dark Knight fought for a few years, until one day...

???: I've never met someone like you.

Rebecca:?

???: So tenacious... So skilled...

Rebecca: What is this about?

???: Uh, well... With my repairs finally done... I was going to leave.

Rebecca:...

???: But in all honesty... I do wish to spend some more time with you.

Rebecca:... You're a fantastic sparring partner. So I wouldn't you being close.

???: Hehe... Yeah, maybe I can also be something more than a sparring partner.

Rebecca: I have no time for anything other than work and training.

???: Perhaps you could take some time.

???: If you don't enjoy the things worth protecting, you just might lose the reason for protecting them.

Rebecca:... Perhaps my muscles need some time to heal from fatigue. I'll use that time.

???: You won't regret it.

(Years later...)

Rebecca was washing dishes, as she reminisced on her time with the Dark Knight, now, her husband.

She hasn't touched anything involving demon-slaying in a long time, for after holding her twin sons for the first time, she put aside her vendetta.

Letting another hunter group to take over protecting this area, Rebecca attempted to live a normal life.

The only thing she regrets was allowing her husband to name one of their children.

Rebecca:(mind) Mark... Ru would have been much better... Oh well.

Rebecca: Hm?

Outdoors, Rebecca saw out from the window one of her sons, the most hyperactive one, Yn, playing with a stick.

Rebecca:!?

He used the stick like a sword, but what shocked her was the techniques he was using.

They were actual sword techniques that he was performing perfectly.

Putting aside the dishes, Rebecca went out to the backyard.

Rebecca: Y-Yn where did you learn those moves?

Yn: Tv and watching you play with a broom.

Rebecca:(awkward chuckle)...

Yn:!

Yn: Mommy! Let's duel!

Rebecca: D-duel?

Yn: Yeah! Let's duel! If I win, you make pizza!

Rebecca: You can't just eat pizza...

Yn: I can if I beat you!

Rebecca:...

A duel. The same thing that brought her and her husband together now is giving her a chance to bond with her son.

Rebecca:(smiles) Fine, if you want to play it like that...

Grabbing a nearby broom, she rips the bottom off, leaving only the long handle to use as a blade.

Rebecca: But this won't be an easy game.

Yn:(big grin) Maybe for an old lady like you!

Rebecca:...

She took the fight seriously.
