A Home, Lost.
A King and Father, Slain.
3 Brothers, Murdered by the man he trusted and by the claw of a Monster.
Betrayed by those she called Family.
And finally, Thrown into the depths of darkness like an animal to die.
All that she has left now ar...
"What a mess." One of the guards commented as he watched several other guards carry out the corpses of dead inmates.
"Look sharp. One or two of the scum might be still sneaking around the island." Another guard came and warned him.
"Yeah, I know. But...just look at all of this." The first guard said. "Are we really sure that Daemon we locked up in the deepest cell did all of this? You know, the one we used to get rid of our other prisoners?"
"Apparently so. Someone broke her Bind and let it loose. She even bested an Exorcist Praetor on her way out." The second guard commented. "But enough fooling around. The Branded Mercenaries we hired will be here to temporarily fill in for the guards we lost any moment now. Continue your patrol and tell the rest if you see their ship approaching."
"Understood." The First guard saluted and walked away.
He walked on out from the front Gate, and toward the dock were the storm had settled, and the sea was back to normal.
"...What a night that was." He sighed.
"Really now?"
"AH!" the Guard gasped as he suddenly felt a dagger right under his throat.
"Tell me all about it, will ya." The man holding him hostage slyly asked.
"WH-WHO ARE_"
"Shhhh-shh-shh-shhhh." The man cooed as he held the daggers blade closer to the guards neck. "Come on now. The faster you spill it all, the sooner your life stops being on the line."
"W-What do you want?!" The Guard asked in panic.
"Tell me all about what happened a day or two ago. How'd This mud-hole swivel upside down like this?" The man asked.
"A-A riot broke out. Inmates tried to escape a-and...most of them died." The guard answered.
"Sure looks like it. So who escaped? From gossip, it sounds like a Daemon got sailed off." The man asked.
"I-It was Daemon, yeah! A-A woman I think. The other guards fed her the other Daemons and inmates!" The guard said. "I-It seems like she and 2 others took one of the ships from this very dock and sailed off into the storm!"
"The storm??" The man asked.
"Y-Yeah...They probably sank. There's no way any ship would survive a storm like that. L-Let alone with 3 inmates who probably aren't even sailors..." The Guards said.
"How'd she look like?" The man asked and pressed the blade closer to the guards throat.
"I-I don't know!! All I heard was that she had long B-Black hair!" The guard answered.
"what weapon did she have?" the man asked again.
"A-A-A Gauntlet blade!! That's all I heard!" The man answered "A-And she could use Magic! Yeah, Fire Magic!! I swear that's everything I heard!"
"...See? Was that so hard?"
*WHACK!!!*
"UGH!!" The guard grunted as the man slammed the but of his knife into the back of his head, knocking him out, *Splash!* And letting him fall in the water.
"...Aye, What a drag this turned out to be." The man sighed as he looked on into the sea with a concerned look in his face.
