Chapter Cornelia: Crescent Sun

Quiescent Moon - Contemplation in Snow

[Eclis's POV]

We were just attacked by a group of four men, all bandits and each armed with different weapons. Next scene, there's a completely naked guy on the verge of tears after Frei accidentally fired her ice magic at his... wiener.

Can't blame him though. That looked really painful.

"I-I'm sorry! I—" Frei's panicking. She's unsure if she should tend him or not.

"And who in the living hell are you!?" the third man finally spoke, asking the boy the question that's pretty sure in everyone's mind. He stared daggers right at the boy.

The mysterious boy, standing up with both of his legs severely shaking, greeted us with his formal yet stuttering accent. "I-I am but a tra-travelling man, h-helping those in need and an ally of any fellow man... Though... *ahem* Though you fellas don't seem to have the right to be deemed as one of us men after you shamelessly ambushed two children with the four of you just now, savvy?" his voice can't help itself from the constant stuttering and the high-pitched voice...

Feigning ignorance to his nakedness, he has a haircut where the lower left side is shaved, although some locks of his hair are long and braided, while for his right side, he has his hair slicked back to his head, with some strands in the front falling downwards. He also has a purple earring with some small silver spikes sprouting from it. He also has a sword. Said sword's grip is black and wrapped around in red cloth, while the rest of the blade looks dark and average apart from the fact that it's drenched in blood.

"And what in the living hell are you even talking about?" the third man asked another question.

The formal fellow in the nude grinned with smugness. He said to the bandits, "Like Little Red Riding Hood has said over there earlier, enough chitchat and let our blades do the bargaining!" he must be referring to the guy in the red bandana.

The guy in his early teens rushed alone towards the three of them. The man with the red bandana looked really angry, though I doubt coz of what the boy called him. He rushed towards the lone boy too and clashed their blades together. They all yelled their battle cry simultaneously.

I'm not sure who this guy is and why he's swinging two of his blades in the open, but I doubt he's on their side. If he's an enemy to them, then I guess that makes him our ally.

"Die!" the second man jumped in as he brings his axe down the man's neck. Unfortunately for him though, a stream of water came and whipped him away with a forceful slash of it, causing the man to recoil himself backwards.
