[WP] A generic RPG story (such as, but not necessarily, "the princess has been kidnapped!") from the villain's point of view. Make the audience sympathetic to his/her cause.

"You never should have come here!"

The leader shouted.

For a split second a thought appeared in my head - "I don't like this"

I unsheathe my weapon

The leader's eyes were filled with bloodlust but the man in front of him showed no signs of fear, excitement or any for that case any emotion at all. The metal mask on his face gave off an eerie feeling, as if it was Sorrow itself. To compliment that his Crimson armour left an impression that it was soaked in the blood of thousands.

"That's no ordinary traveler" I whispered to myself

The man in the mask was surrounded. What is was he to do against 5 of us?

"Yol Toor Shuul"

Sooner than those words could reach my ears Godrel and Solding were burning. In an instant he was evaporated. Before anyone could realize what was going on the traveler had already pulled out his crimson blade. Not a split second had passed yet Ulfgard's head came flying even though he was behind the man.

"With just his voice??!"


A distant memory.. I could feel the tears dripping down my cheeks.

"Hjolfr, what are we going to do now?" I bawled out.

The boss clenched his teeth and strengthened his posture.

"I gotta be strong" Is what he was probably thinking "Don't worry, I'll protect you and Erin, we'll get through this. As long as we're alive we can survive. Even if our home burns down, even if we have to beg, even if our bodies become broken.. as long as we're alive.. I swear I will give you two the life you deserve by any means necessary."

"You.. can't do this alone. I'll help you" I said as i wiped the tears off my eyes.

"You're too weak willed Odming. Didn't I just say that I would do anything for us to survive? I might even become a criminal. But Odming, you must stay with Erin."

"No, I can't leave you to suffer alone. Though we are not related by blood all three of us are siblings. I'm already tainted. Please, let me help you so at least Erin can live in peace!"

The boss met my eyes and let out a defeated smile

"Fine."


I don't know what meaning this memory held as Hjolfr's heart was already pierced. I couldn't even move.

"Krii Lun Aus"

And it all fades to black.
