Chapter 1: An Acquaintance

Rin's P.O.V 

My name is Rin Yukino, I am a bug that got trapped in a spiders web. Not literally of course, but, I haven't explained myself yet. Who may I be you ask? That's kind of a hard question, I don't know exactly myself, how I got into this mess, or who I may really be and what I'm here for. But what I do know is that this Kingdom, Kingdom of Azeroth is full of pests. Not the ones you flick off your shoulder or scream when you see one. Similar, though. But, right now, I'm in a web, you see. I can't get out. I got caught. After many months of searching and escaping, the soliders, whatever you want to call them, who were searching for me found me once again. The reason I got into this whole mess all started because I betrayed the Kingdom of Azeroth, meaning escaped it to get away. That's a crime in this world..leaving your own Kingdom. But, I'm not just any criminal. I'm a murderer. I killed the previous King...Though, the truth is...I didn't want to kill anyone.

"Let me go!" I struggled against the arms of a Kingdom Pest keeping me caged.

One of the Kingdom pests had chained my legs and cuffed my hands behind my back. Yeah, not a pleasant feeling.

"Be quiet, Slayer-Assassin," one demanded.

Define Slayer-Assassin: an assassin who "betrayed" the Kingdom as they say.

"And If I don't?" I looked his way and smirked. "You'll be killed. We can kill you right now on this spot. But, we're not. So keep your mouth shut or die and rot," he spat.

I clenched my teeth. Who knew someone could stand up to me like this? They're taking advantage of me being unable to do anything.

I don't know where I was being taken to. Most likely the cells, or the King. I hoped it wasn't the King, i'd be executed.

I looked over at a Kingdom Pest. (Guard, soldier, sentinel, working for the King. That's why I call them pests.) He was talking to another in a low voice, making me unable to hear. At the end of their conversation, I heard a 'Fine.'

"Alright, listen, You'll be going to the Legend Berserk, Akira. The cells locks are broken because of the last incident we had and the King isn't available. We have no choice but to give you to our most trustworthy noble right now." he reported with a straight face.

I stayed silent.

Soon, we reached our destrination. I saw a door that looked high-classed. With the diamond doorknob and golden knocker.

One of the pests used the golden knocker to gain entry. After a few seconds, the door was opened by a blonde-haired girl who looked beautiful and highborn with her clothes.

"Greetings, Miss Akira." a Kingdom Pest bowed to her.

"Welcome," she looked at me, like she knew she's supposed to lock me up in her dorm till the king comes back. Sounds fun, doesn't it?

Suddenly, I was kicked into her room. I fell in and yelped in pain, still chained up.

"Are you okay?" She murmured in a worried voice.

"I-I'm..f-f..fine," I stuttered. That really hurt.

She looked through her drawers, obviously trying to find something and a few seconds later she came over to me with a key in her hand. "This is a noble key. Given only to high-classed magic-users and warriors. It's a key to everything in this Kingdom," The key suddenly changed form and she went behind me, started fiddling with my cuffs, and soon they were open. In a split second, my chains even came off.

"Thank you," I mumbled.

"Please, it's no problem." she smiled.

I didn't smile back because I know she's just like the rest of them. Soon, i'll be out of here..in the cells or even next to the king, waiting to be finished off. I... don't even want to think about it. That unfeeling King.

"So..what's your name?" she asked.

"Rin."

"I'm Akira."

There was a dead silence after that but it was interrupted by her again.

"You escaped this Kingdom?"

I almost laughed. Of course I escaped it. I know she recognizes me, i'm pretty much famous for being a betrayer.

I nodded.

"Why?" She loves asking questions, doesn't she?

"This place isn't worth being in."

She nodded too," I don't like it either."

I looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "You're a Legend Berserk. A really noble warrior with high prestige and honor who get's special-treatment and the best meals everyd-"

"Surprising, isn't it?" she interrupted me.

"I really don't like it at all. There's things suspcious about it and the King. I don't know if i'm just crazy but i'd rather live a normal life or be in the slums rather than be treated like royalty, and be used because I have power."

 She know's what she's talking about, "Have you ever wanted to escape?" I questioned.

"Y-yes.." she mumbled and looked down.

I smirked. "Want to do it right now?" I need to get out of here, with a pest or without a pest. I cannot stay here.

She rolled her eyes. "I know you're just using me for escaping, Rin. Not that I don't want you to escape..I just don't like the feeling of being used."

I shaked my head. "I'm not exactly using you.  You feel the same way I do, don't you? I'm helping a fellow buddy out here." I'm only half-lying.

"No, I am helping a fellow 'buddy' out," she corrected.

I ignored her and continued, "People with less power and ones who can't use magic at all are treated like trash here. I do not want to stay in an environment like that and nor do you. So, the best choice would be to get out of here," I was doing whatever I can to convince her.

She sighed and clenched her fists, looking at the ground.

"I saw people being killed..murdered and played around with like they were toys. How could someone be so cruel?" she muttered.

I sighed, "I thought the same. We can get out of here and that would make this Kingdom look bad because nobody escapes it. Especially a high noble." Even I murdered someone with my own hands. I didn't want to. I couldn't control it. They... forced me to..

She frowned, "I would like that..honestly, I really would.. But I'm afraid,"

"Afraid of what?"

"I..I don't know..Everything."

 "Everyone." she muttered.

I smiled, "You don't have to be afraid anymore...I'm just like you, Akira."

She looked at me and slightly smiled, "Thanks."

"You in?"

"Where do we start?" she inquired hesitatingly.

"Come with me."
