It happen in alternative medieval world, "Ancient Earth". War is raging everywhere, between five kingdoms of humans, elves, and dwarfs. Some people are Gifted to have the ability to manipulate natural phenomena or strengthen their pyshiques. One can...
The Kid ran fast and sneaked. He ran toward a high ground. Once he was there, he used his Gift to observe places where the noblewoman might be there.
"She must be in a place where there are many men guarding her", the Kid said to himself.
"I found you! She must be in that cart. But there are too many guardsman, I need to distract them", the Kid found a carriage where the noblewoman should be there.
He needed to distract the guardman there. Then he approached the cart. He perched on a top of a tree, took out his bow and arrow. The arrow was made from flint. He scrapped his arrow against a stone, then a small fire appeared on his arrow. He aimed the arrow in the opposite direction of the carriage. He shot it and the trees started to burn.
The guards were distracted by the fire, most of them inspected it. The Kid got closer to the cart. There were still some guards in front of the cart, but it was not a matter for the Kid. He sneaked up, hit the guard at his neck. There was an archer who noticed the Kid and aimed at him. But with his eyes, the Kid could know the direction of the arrow by observing its edge. The kid dodged it easily then strangled the archer's until he fainted.
The Kid was panting. He opened the cart while trying to catch his breath. He was quite surprised by what he saw. The noblewoman is not what he imagined. She was a girl who looked the same age as the Kid, sitting on a chair.
Her tresses adorned a short, blonde hue. A petite mouth and a subtly pointed nose graced her countenance. Clad in a slender frame, she donned a gown of pristine white. Yet, amidst these details, it was her eyes that truly captivated attention. Her gaze was adorned with charming blue pupils, reminiscent of the moonlit sky.

"You must be the noblewoman", the Kid said.
"Are you the bandits trying to kidnap me?" The Girl asked him
"I'm not here to kidnap you, I'm here to kill you as their wish", the Kid said it while he took out his dagger, pointing at her face.
"Are you really trying to kill me? Then why are your hand shaking? You must be doubtful", the Girl said. She was true, the Kid hand was shaking.
"Are you really one of them? Are you sure you are not just pretending to be one of them?", the Girl continued asking him.
"Shut up, don't mocked me!", the Kid became emotional.
"You're too fast, Kid. We had a hard time catching you up", suddenly a voice heard behind the Kid. It is Simon's. Some other bandits were behind him.
"Good job of you for finding her. Let me take a look of her", Simon entered the cart, looked at the Girl.
"Wow.... What have we got here? The girl is supposed to be the noblewoman. Hmmm? That badge.... You must be the King's relative", Simon saw a badge on her gown. The badge was a sign for those who belonged to the King's relative
"What a jackpot we have here! We should kidnap and use her to add our price instead of killing her, hahaha. But, who're you exactly, milady? It depends on your answer, we might kill or take you out", Simon asked her true identity while sniffing her hair.
"I have zero intention to tell my identity. Soon enough, Julius will come and deal with you", the Girl didn't answer Simon's. She was sure that Julius would come and help her.
"That thunder guy? He was busy with our leader. I'm sure he won't be here soon enough. Then why don't we enjoy our time here?" Simon teased her, his hand was about to touch her gown.
"Slappp!! Don't be arbitrary!", the Girl slapped Simon. He became emotional and choked her.
"Let's see whether we can do anything to you or not!", Simon pulled her until she fell down. Then he choked her again
"Khhhh", the Girl was breathless.
"Duggggg!", The Kid kicked hard Simon's neck with his left leg. Suddenly, Simon passed out.
"What the fuck are you doing, Kid!", the other bandit's gank surprised by what the Kid had done.
"Get up and run, quickly!", the Kid told the Girl to run.
"I'm paralyzed", the girl told him that she could't even stand up because she was disabled.
"What?? Grab my neck, hurry!", the Kid told her to grabbed his neck. Then the girl did what he asked and he carried her, running away.
"Chase them!", the bandits shouted.
On the other side, Bard with his gank was still facing Julius and his army. Julius couldn't cast his thunder because his army had mixed with the bandits on the battlefield. It could injure his army too.
"You seemed confused, young guy!" Bard said to Julius.
"Shut your mouth, I'll exterminate all of you!" Julius said it while he continued to clash with Bard using a sword dropped by his army. He was confused about his lady safety.
"Sir Julius, the princess has been kidnapped!", a soldier reported to Julius.
"Leader, the fool Kid took out the noblewoman from us and ran away!", at the same time, a bandit report to Bard
"What!!!", they were surprised.
"Hurry find her with the rest of you!", they gave same order to their man.
"Tch, I have no choice. Forgive me, my men!", Julius raised his hand. Bard didn't predict that Julius would cast his thunder. He ran and jumped into Julius. Unfortunately, he was too late.
"Rage Thunder!!!"
"Blaarrrr!!!", a big thunder strikes the battlefield. All of men on the battlefield was struck. Yes, all of them, include Julius himself. Julius was still conscious. Of course, he was used to his own thunder. Rest of them collapsed. Bard tried to maintain his mind. Then he shouted.
"Aaaaarggghhh, Juliussss!", that was the first time for Bard to be striken by thunder. Unexpected, he could keep his consciousness and became rage.
"Even I have reduced the thunder's power, I'm sure it still could paralyzed an elephant. What are you? A beast??", Julius was astonished.
Bard swung his axe horizontally then vertically to his upward. Julius dodged it by moving backward. Bar grabbed the axe with his hands, swinging his axe downward with full power. Julius rolled to his left side. He was quite agile.
"Brakkk", his axe broke a big stone but stuck at the ground. Julius used the chances and did stabbing move to Bard's heart. But, his sword was stopped by Bard's right hand. Bard grasped the sword blade. Blood dripped from his palm. Bard pulled out the stuck axe with his left hand and swung it to Julius. It was a checkmate for Julius, he let go of his sword, tried to move backward. He knew it was too late to dodge it.
Suddenly Bard move was stopped. His eyes turn to all white. His mouth gaped wide. It seemed he was paralyzed. The effect of the thunder was delayed for him. Julius exhaled a big breath, he felt relieved. He was lucky enough that night.
Back to the Kid's side, he was running from the Bandits while carrying the Girl. The forest was so dark. With his eyes, he could see details of the forest though it's dark. It made him could ran in the forest, though he was not as fast as usual because he was carrying the Girl. From his bandit's gank, he was the most agile. The other bandit had a hard time chasing him.
The Kid and the Girl were in silence. There were a lot of questions in their head to be asked each other. But they knew, they must focus on running away first. They continued to run until the sun showed its nose.
