After Life: Knights Of Sin

Chapter 9: Scream 2- Obsidian

10 years ago

The war, once fueled by the wrath of a powerful demon, had finally come to an end. The once thriving cities and villages now lay in ruins, their once bustling streets now eerily quiet. As the dust settled, a new wave of chaos emerged in the form of thieves and scavengers.

These opportunistic individuals scoured the devastated landscapes, driven by their insatiable hunger for riches and survival. They picked through the remnants of shattered homes, broken buildings, and abandoned belongings, searching for anything of value that had been left behind.

In the desolate streets, the scavengers moved cautiously, their eyes darting from one ruined structure to another. They knew that amidst the rubble, there could be hidden treasures waiting to be discovered. The air was heavy with a mixture of desperation and greed as they rummaged through the remnants of a once-thriving society.

Occasionally, the scavengers would stumble upon the lifeless bodies of fallen warriors, casualties of the fierce battle that had consumed the land. The sight served as a grim reminder of the consequences of the war, but it did little to deter their determination to find something of worth.

Though the world around them lay in ruins, the scavengers remained resilient. They were driven by a primal instinct for survival and an unyielding desire to rebuild their lives in whatever way they could. In this post-war landscape, where hope seemed scarce, the scavengers scoured the desolation, hoping to find a glimmer of salvation amidst the chaos.

Phemiscra city
As the woman, known as Rouge the destroyer, ventured further into the desolate city, her heart sank at the sight of the destruction and death that surrounded her. The once vibrant city now lay in ruins, a haunting reminder of the war's devastating toll.

She cradled her daughter, Valerie, tightly on her back, shielding her from the horrors that lay before them. Despite the danger, Rouge was determined to find something valuable that could offer them a chance at a better life, away from this desolation.

The discovery of the obsidian blade seemed like a stroke of luck. Its mysterious purple particles shimmered like stars, casting an ethereal aura around it. However, as Rouge swung the sword, she realized its true power. The swing created a devastating shockwave, obliterating an entire block of buildings in its wake.

Rouge's eyes widened in awe and realization. She could use this weapon to protect herself and Valerie, to carve a path through the dangers that awaited them. It became more than just a means to earn money; it became a symbol of survival, a tool to keep them safe in this unforgiving world.

As the years passed, Rouge's legend grew. She embraced her role as a thief, a mercenary, and a mother, all while wielding the destructive power of the obsidian blade. Her reputation attracted enemies from all walks of life, be they humans or monsters, all seeking to claim the sword and the bounty that came with her head.

But Rouge was relentless. She fought fiercely, defending herself and Valerie with every swing of the blade. She became known as a force to be reckoned with, a symbol of defiance in a world torn apart by war and despair.

Through it all, Rouge never lost sight of her ultimate goal: to find a safe haven for her precious daughter Valerie. Alphestos, the fabled kingdom, stood as a beacon of hope in her mind, a place where they could finally find peace and a chance at a new beginning.

With Valerie by her side and the obsidian blade in her hand, Rouge pressed forward, facing the challenges that lay ahead. The road to Alphestos would be treacherous, but she was determined to create a better future for her daughter, no matter the cost.

"The hell are you doing here? After abandoning us for so many years and now you're back? Why?" Rouge questioned a man with brown hair and red eyes wearing a white suit.
