Beneath the Helm (MCD Garroth x Reader)

Chapter 1: The Falling Village

AN: Above is the first episode of MCD. I also want to mention that the story will be in the reader's point of view unless I SPECIFICALLY say it is from a different POV. The story will be slightly different so as to surprise people who have already watched MCD. Hope you enjoy it! (None of the art in this story is mine!! It belongs to whoever drew it)

I wake up, blinking in the bright light. 'What's going on, where am I?' I think

As I sit up slowly and observe my surroundings. I am on a small hill next to a quiet forest. I close my eyes taking a deep breath, listening to the sound of a small stream nearby. I open my eyes and spot a man with a green mask hiding behind a tree. I quickly stand and run after him, but he is too fast for me and I soon lose him. 'Great, my one chance of getting answers is gone.' I think.

I look up and spot a building a short distance away. 'A village!' I think with excitement.

I run towards the village and stop a little ways away from the entrance, spotting two guards. "Ever since our lord has perished-"a guard with dark brown hair and red eyes is cut off by one who hides his face underneath a helmet, "has gone MISSING Zenix, we cannot confirm he is dead." the guard says.

"Yes yes, but I think with the time that has past since he went 'missing' he should be considered dead." the guard called Zenix replies.

The helmed guard sighs. "As I was saying, all the villagers of Phoenix Drop have been in a panic since our lord disappeared, I believe it is wise for you to take his place." Zenix tells him.

"NO! I will not! I do not wish to become lord." the guard tells Zenix sternly.

Zenix starts to walk towards my position, "Very well, but Garroth, the villagers are blaming you for his death... if you don't do something right for this village soon-" he stops mid sentence when he spots me.

"Who are you?!" he asks with suspicion.

"Um, I'm Y/n... I woke up at the edge of the forest and was wondering where I was." I say, pretending not to have heard them mention that this was Phoenix Drop, I don't think they wanted anyone eavesdropping on their conversation.

"Hello there lady Y/n, this is the village of Phoenix drop and my name is Garroth, the head guard of this village." Garroth says politely.

"I don't trust you, what if you were the one who killed or lord." Zenith accuses.

"That's ridiculous Zenix, you can't blame a young maiden you know nothing about." scorns Garroth. 

"That's exactly my point! We know NOTHING about her! She could be the one behind all of the shadow creatures we've had to deal with for all we know." Zenix interjects. 

I stand there quietly while they fight and decide that I should probably help them with their situation, as long as Zenix cools down. "Um... I'm still here..." I say quietly. 

They didn't hear me... "STOP IT!!!!!!!!" I shout.

 They both stop and stare at me. "What?" I ask.

 I look down and...

...I'm glowing.
