The Hooded girl began vomitting uncontrollably having just witnessed a mans head being ripped from his body. After the brief pause to take in what they had just witnessed, her guards came back to their senses. While the enemies attention was elsewhere and still had their backs turned to them the towering youth brought his mace down on the head of the man closest to him. Blood, bone fragments and brain tissue went flying in every direction splattering the walls, even a little had landed on the feet of the women present. The same time the middle aged man cut the head off the other with his Broadsword the head rolled around on the floor coming to rest near the remaining thugs. Now only two enemies remained, Big boss number one and another both caught in between Christopher and the small group.
Christopher stared down big boss man number one. Holding the head out in front of him, His emotionless face slowly began to turn into a smile. Witnessing the brutality, and this smile, Big Boss Man felt something he had not felt since his first time in battle. Fear.... And it was damn near crushing him. The one sided blood bath aside it was that sadistic smile that truly terrified him more than the carnage. It wasn't a smile of confidence or one to intimidate. He could only surmise that it was a smile of pleasure. As if there was nothing in the world that he would rather be doing. Like a man who was enjoying their favorite hobby at their own leisure.
A moment after the smile appeared on Christopher's face he took the head and lobbed it at the remaining goons face.
"Hyeaaa!" The goon screamed out trying his best to dodge the flying head only to have it hit his shoulder. Before he was able to recover Christopher was already upon him and kicked him in the chest knocking him back into the wall behind him. Christopher grabbed his sword arm pinned it to the wall and drove his knife into the goons heart.
"You son of a bitch." He uttered his last words before slowly slumping to the ground. Although the last remaining goon was now dead, Big boss man number one now had his chance seeing as Christopher had his back turned to him, and he fully intended to take advantage of this opportunity. 'Fuck Honor this world is about survival of the fittest.'
"Die you bastard!"
Christopher slowly turned his head over his shoulder looking at him, smile still plastered to his face. At this moment Big boss man came to the realization, Christopher left his back turned to him intentionally. Luring him into a sense of security, giving him a ray of hope. In this moment Big Boss man thought he saw a flash and then for some unknown reason it felt as if he was leaning to the side. Then he was over taken by the feeling of falling
The girl in the hood felt as if she was finally regaining control of her stomach after witnessing a once plain and quiet alley. Get painted in blood and brain matter. Then she looked up just in time to see Christopher finish off the last goon, and in time to see their leader charging at him. She was just about to call out to him when she saw a flash of something cut through the air, for a moment she believed she had just imagined it. That is until she witnessed the upper half of the leaders body being completely severed, cut from a little above the waist also cutting through one of his arms. Blood and intestines just dropped as his torso fell to the ground, his legs giving one final twitch.
With this last twitch she again lost control of her stomach and was leaning against a wall throwing up once more. She realized there was a chance people would die in front of her, but in this manner it was so brutal she could not even bring herself to dream of such methods for her most hated enemies. As she looked at the ground there was some slight movement from her field of vision, she glanced over to see a small stream of blood rolling down the cement past her feet. Would this be her new life? Would blood and death become a normal thing for her?
"Urgh." she lost control of her stomach once again and began to vomiting all over again.
Half a boss man number one Still had not realized what happened to him. Confused and sweating profusely he could not figure out why he was on the ground, All he did know is for some reason it felt like he had the wind knocked out of him. The thing was though nobody was near him that could have touched him. It was then he glanced to the side, laying next to him was half an arm and some ones legs. ' I wonder who those belong to.. Hey i got the same pair of pants...' The moment half a boss man thought that, he began to feel and immense amount of pain.Chris slowly turned to face Half a boss man number 1 and squat down on the ground staring him in the eyes. Boss man could hardly believe this was the same man who he called out to. He had brought his own death down upon him. Chris glanced down next to him and his smile grew even more."You son of a bitch" whispered half a boss man. ' I remember hearing once that the grim reaper takes on many forms. Who would have
"Well alright then you have deal." "Your highness please tell me you're joking? You are entrusting your fate to someone who is clearly insane! Possibly mentally unstable." Braum whispered in her ear, as he eyed Christopher who was currently taking any valuables and money from the dead men he had just killed. "Crazy? Possibly I'll give you that much. But before you pass judgement you should walk a mile in that persons shoes." Chris shrugged talking over his shoulder. "Although not mentally unstable. Really id say what really stands out in my mind as crazy is the fact that for whatever reason i agreed to help you." "See! He even agrees he's probably crazy!" "Braum that's enough. You have to remember the entire reason for this situation is actually our fault. While i trust you, Garrett, and Vanessa more then anyone else alive, the fact is we need help if were going to get out of here." The middle aged man who's name was apparently Braum let out a deep si
The trip to his home was happily uneventful. Christopher had managed to persuade everyone to remove the hoods. Sure enough it was just as he said. Multiple patrols had passed right by them but none recognized the princess. Although she was technically one of the most prominent figures in the world. The leaders barely ever interacted with their people, if they didn't have someone there to announce their presence or flying their banner then nobody would be any the wiser. There was no way for them to just pull up a picture of her, and she had never taken place in court politics so very few nobles had ever even met her. "Well this is it. Try not to expect to much." Christopher announced once they arrived to his home. On the outside it looked to bluntly put it, completely unimpressive. There was nothing that made it stand out from others. It was not immaculate by any means, but also was not some run down hovel. If one was being completely honest it actually looked average when co
The spoon hit Sarah splattering a little bit of food on her clothing. Although it was light and didn't physically hurt her. It still hurt, the force of Elise's emotions is what she really felt. The look of both Sadness and anger she saw in her face, it was painful to see. Sarah wasn't really sure what she did to anger the girl so much but for some reason at that moment all she felt was guilt. Even without fully understanding what it was that upset her so much it almost felt as if Sarah had just broken her heart, reminding her of her father forcing her into this marriage with Halbert whom she loathed from the bottom of her heart. She wanted nothing to do with him. For whatever reason her father who she had trusted and been able to confide in turned his back on her immediately for the opportunity of some political gain. Heart break was a fresh wound she was growing familiar with unfortunately. "You insolent-!" Braum began to yell, but then felt steel being pressed agai
It was obvious Elise had very mixed feelings about the whole situation. As she looked into his eyes she was upset but also wasn't sure if it was his fault, her fault or really either of their faults for that matter. "I guess I should apologize to them and hear the whole story. I'll prepare more food for everyone else as well. Although tomorrow we will have to go out and get more." "They will only be here for a few days. I would definitely prefer to keep things peaceful while they are staying here." Smiled Christopher. Christopher went back to the living room area to find everyone still standing looking on edge. The way they were standing someone would half expect they were terrified to sit down, almost as if they expected the furniture they chose to sit on to blow up or a blade to come shooting across the room and beheading them. "Will you all relax. Gods you're making me anxious and I'm in my own home. I promise that she's not going to come out
The entire group was stunned. No one had any idea of this happening apart from Vanessa who had been Sarah's closest confidant for her entire life. The night that had happened Vanessa had stayed up for hours trying to console the princess as she cried her eyes out. She allowed her to cry that night until her eyes were red and swollen and eventually she was finally able to fall asleep. The next morning she was called unsightly by her own father and was forced to have breakfast in her room, a few bites into her food she could no longer contain her sadness and began to cry all over again. Her fathers cruelty seemed to know no limits. Vanessa was enraged for Sarah. It took everything she had not to rush into the throne room and drive a blade into the part of his body that the heart should be, although she questioned if the bastard actually had one. Thankfully the wedding planning had not yet truly begun. Sarah decided to go visit her oldest sister whom she was very close to
Everyone was stunned. Just how arrogant and shameless could a member of the royal family be!? Even Garrett was unable to keep his silence. ""I Should have Splattered his fucking brains." He said through grit teeth. Sarah walked over and put her hand on his hand trying to sooth his anger. "You can't protect me 24/7 you know." For the moment he refused to meet her eyes and just looked at the ground the feeling of shame weighing down upon him. Clearly frustrated with his own limitations. He didn't respond but nod his head to her. She smiled at him gently and gave him a hug. "You truly are the best cousin someone can ask for." She said. This managed to get a smile out of him, although he still didn't raise his head. "I can see how that would definitely force someone to speed up their plans a little faster." Elise admitted sympathetically. As a woman she could definitely sympathise with what happened. "He didn't manage to do anything, you g
"Yea... Something like that" Christopher said with a sullen look. Garrett wasn't surprised by any means when he heard the response. With Christopher's skills there was no doubt in his mind. He either was a soldier or an assassin. It was easy to see he was used to killing. Garrett's only concern is that he may be a little to comfortable with killing. The other thing that Garrett could not wrap his head around was how young he was. The empire at times could be cruel and merciless but no one would set foot on the battlefield unless they were at least 18. There was the occasional mercenary company they would employ that might have one or two people under the age but they usually would avoid companies that used children to fill numbers. "How long did you fight? How old are you ?" Garrett couldn't help but to ask him. He honestly had many questions for Chris but did not want to push to hard. "Wow quite a few personal questions don't you think?" Christopher chuckled. Garret
