The Villages Hope

The Past of Truth

"Very well, if you still wish you can use her rotting body" Mother Miranda said before walking away, leaving Heinsberg in pure shock, that worked? He thought; however, he was quickly snapped out of it watching you die again. "y-y/n" he said grabbing you carefully. How stupid he felt knowing that he started risking himself and his plan for an idiot girl he met who knows how long ago!

"You know she isn't dead" a female voice spoke up Heinsberg looked around trying to locate the female voice "Who are you!" He yelled, "someone far closer to her then you" a light blue misty figure appeared, a ghost. "I knew I would never be able to see y/n again as a person, so I could never save her from her last encounter with Miranda" she spoke "W-what do you mean" and the ghost sighed. "Allow me to be one with you, allow me to show you though my eyes the truth" she explained. "I'm not buying it, for all I know you could be one of Mother Miranda's experiments" Heinsberg's word hit the ghost like venom. "I'm not doing it for you Karl, I'm doing this because I want my friend to be free from this feud! She has never been able to enjoy life's treasures she has only suffered the pain of death for years! I thought I finally found someone I could trust but I guess I was wrong, after all what a man of scrap would know about abandonment and pain" the ghost finished before she turned away

"Y/b/f/n, He needs to know the truth" a male ghost appeared "Really? Elterin you are the reason we are even here!" "That's bullshit you know it!" "Really? Do you want to go back in time and remind yourself what you did?" The two ghosts started fighting as Heinsberg only started to get annoyed with their yelling "SHUT YOUR DAMN HOLES! Fucking hell, if you really are y/n friend then fine. Possess me. I don't have much of a choice anyways now" he sighed, and the female ghost eye rolled as she flew over to him.

"Take a deep breath and close your eyes, and make sure you relax, when Elterin says so, open your eyes" y/b/f/n explained as she walked behind Heinsberg "Alright" Heinsberg said as he closed his eyes and relaxed. y/b/f/n ran into Heinsberg's body and Elterin waited a moment before he gave all clear for him to open his eyes.

Heinsberg hesitated for a moment before opening his eyes, at first, he noticed that he was still in the forest, however when he saw no ghosts, he took a moment to scan his surroundings when he realised, he wasn't in the same place, Elterin appeared with a smile "Glad you two jumped safely! Now Follow me into the village." He instructed as he led them to what once was a familiar village. "Holy shit" Heinsberg said as he saw buzzing people going around with their day-to-day life's. "Karl this way" Elterin pointed, Heinsberg already recognised the way, it was to his factory as he looked around, he noticed the once castle of house that tall bitch wasn't there, he smiled at that as he kept his journey to his factory.

When they approached, he realised that there was no gate, nor factory? Just a small little stone hut. "So, this was her factory?" Karl asked, "Not even, it was her home, she would come back here and plot all she could and forge anything she could with what little she had, the villagers often gave her scarps they found in exchange for her to make then things. She was popular" Elterin explained.

The three walked into the hour where they saw a woman with y/h/c tied up in a bun as she hunched over a desk with blueprints everywhere. another women waked in with a giggle, "Scrappy! Come boy! I think mamma needs some love" the female voice spoke, as a dog came running in and jumping on the women "I don't see how this is important" Heinsberg said "Oh this part isn't, this is just showing you her and her life before the downfall" Elterin explained. As they skipped forward in the memory they followed the two women and the dog who walked into the village "Could you hold on a second I need to go get some water I feel a little dizzy" the girl nodded in response as her friend ran off "I guess its you and me Scrappy" she smiled as she walked over to some kids and pulled toys out of her bag, normally parents would get y/n to create toys for the children, so y/n would create it and spend extra time making it softer or use wood so the metal wouldn't hurt them.

"Heinsberg this way, its important" the male ghost called as Heinsberg moved in his direction, they were going to a different area of the town, empty and hollow there was a man hunched over a slab. "What are you doing?" a female voice cut in "O-oh y/b/f/n! nice to see you I was just-"the male voice explained however was cut off by the female "W-why are you at her tablet- you know this is how she rebirths why the hell are you touching it!" she yelled at him "Some of the lines were cut off and opened so I was fixing them! I swear! You know I love y/n she's our best friend I would never do anything bad to her!" "She won't believe you after I tell her "The women said as she sprinted away to the village.

"Hang on if you are the duke's father how old were you when the kid was born?" Heisenberg questioned "and if it's been like a century then why? "The questions you ask will be answered soon. This whole situation confused Heisenberg heavily, why was y/b/f/n going to tell on Elterin even though he was only fixing the markings? The group followed the young women as she ran through the village. "Y-Y/N!" the girl screamed, "E-Elterin h-he's r-r-ruing the rebirth spot" she spat out in front of the whole village" unfortunately, Elterin had just arrived to be greeted with the death glares by everyone he once called family and friends. "N-no I -w" he tried to defend "The markings can only be removed by the ones closest to her! Y/n is like a sister to be I would never do such a thing and therefore the only person who could is you" y/b/f/n yelled at him, her words were like poison to him, Elterin saw his closest friends as his sisters but to hear that she only saw him as was felt like a mer pawn hurt him critically. "I- I DIDN'T DO ANTHING!!" he screamed as tears started to fill his eyes. The feeling of all these eyes on him with pure anger and hatred ruined him. Elterin slowly started to feel himself in that very moment slowly descend from the view he saw everyone. He in this moment saw everyone for the monsters they really were. All using y/n to be their pawn as he was to her. But he didn't hold anything against her he knew she was trying to protect everyone no matter the cost and he didn't want to hear the cold words that could escape her mouth, so he turned around and ran. He ran far. Far in the woods that he wouldn't be able to hear the village.
