Rebirth of the mighty overlord

An exchange between the two

Somewhere inside a forest that was dimly lit by the silver moon, the sound of heavy footsteps could be heard. Amidst the sea of trees, a black-haired lone woman could be seen running through the forest. In her arms were two babies whose features were very distinct and resembled each other, they were most likely twins. In particular, they both had two tiny horns protruding from their heads.

"Haah... Haah.. Oh no, what should I do? If only I could get to the beast territory, then perhaps, we could." The woman lamented, as she panted hoarsely for breath, her feet's felt heavy. She was utterly exhausted both physically and mentally. After running a whole day without rest, she was fast approaching the limits of her body.

'What should I do? No matter how far I run, there doesn't seem to be any end to this forest.' She thought, her beautiful face twisted gravely. She didn't even know where she should be running, or if the forest was nearing its end. Her heart thundered in her small chest as she desperately searched for a solution in her current situation.

"Please... look after those girls, although we won't be able to be the happy family you wanted. At the very least, I hope you all can be happy."

Those were the last words of her husband, before he had sacrifice himself for them to have had a chance to escape. Remembering the words of her husband, tears trickled down her cheeks. "Why? Why did something like this had to?" As her legs gave out, she had sunk to one knee. However, fearing she would be caught, after catching her breath, she got to her feet and started running once again.

As she ran, monsters would occasionally attack her, drawn in by the sound of her heavy footsteps, but she used wind magic to keep them away.

Finding a tree near a lake, which reflected the sight of the moon, she vigilantly observed her surroundings before sitting down beneath the tree. The twin babies were both fast asleep in her arms.

"No matter what, I promised him, I wouldn't let anything happen to you." With a motherly smile, she kissed the cheeks of the twin babies gently. The woman was a human who had inadvertently fallen in love with a demon. Mixed species between the demon was dishonourable to their race. As the infants born between the two races would be weakened significantly compared to the pure bloods.

Demons were the most aggressive race in the world, they valued strength above all else, it was shameful to stain their kind with any other race. And so, it was a taboo for a demon to have a child with any other race.

The families who had committed such a taboo would be hunted down and killed mercilessly.

Her daughters were mixed between a human and a demon, they had lived peacefully in a small village together away from the demon race. However, the history between humans and demons were painted in blood. It was a natural instinct; humans feared and hated the demon race who were followers of the goddess of death, Eva.

It was very rare for both specie's to get along with each other. The child born between them had characteristics mixed between both humans and demons, it was only recently those within the village had notice the horns sticking out of their heads and had branded them a heretic. Her husband used illusion magic to hide his demon features. Unfortunately, the twins were too young to be capable of using such magic.

"I can't stay here." She decided to move, after gently wrapping both the twins into a blanket to protect them from the cold night air, she got to her feet, however-

Swoosh!

"Argh!" An arrow came shooting from the many trees and pierced into her back mercilessly. Her body staggered from the sudden impact as she gritted her teeth, enduring the pain. The woman turned her head and glanced over her shoulders. From the distance she saw flashes of light between the leaves.
