(Drakken’s POV)
"It was brutal." I said, "It was a brutal few minutes. I used these bare hands, which were much smaller back then, I used them to rip their faces and throats apart while they tried to fight back. There was blood everywhere, the disturbing sounds of them gasping for their lives resounded throughout the room. The entire floor was stained red, and there was nothing but the sight of their lifeless corpses after I was done."
They didn’t say a word, they simply stared at . They were waiting for to continue but I could tell that they were sowhat unsettled by what they had just heard. I don’t bla them; it was not a pretty thing to hear.
"It’s surprising to hear now...after everything you’ve experienced with ...but I felt no joy from that." I said, "I felt nothing. I rely did what I thought was right: to kill them before they hard the woman. The woman who I was starting to think was the most important thing in my life at that ti. She was vulnerable, we both were....and in order to survive, one of us had to do sothing. So I took that initiative....and I killed the n...."
I sighed and finished the rest of the wine, gulping it down. The fact that I am speaking about these mories it is very surreal. I didn’t speak much about them with my brothers, who I didn’t et until after all of that had happened.
"When she ca to....she saw standing there, covered in blood, my own and theirs..." I continued, "The first thing she did in response was check if I was alright. She bathed , cleaned my wound, and we both realized one thing: I was not normal. The wound I had received was already closed and I saw it in her eyes, the Fear. She was beginning to feel more afraid of . At that mont, she was more afraid of than the n who raped her. I didn’t know how to feel about that, but as long as she was okay, I didn’t care. After we tossed the n in a nearby river, the Woman scolded about not eating, acting more concerned than anything."
I still rember her. Her warm eyes and her beautiful long hair....her scent was also vivid in my mory. That woman, at the first stage of my lifespan, was everything to .
"The villagers began to shun us. After it happened." I kept speaking, "They thought of as a demon and the woman as a witch who summoned . But considering that for weeks, nobody bothered the village, they didn’t do much to us. They thought of it as a balance; to house an evil ant to ward off greater evils. During the period after that, we only had each other. And we waited.....for her husband and the others...and while we waited, we beca closer. That woman....I didn’t know what I felt for her....Perhaps I beca attached because she showed the sa care the dog did...I simply didn’t know at the ti...."
"She showed you care and affection. Sothing you hadn’t received up until that point, Drakken." Maegelle said, "That is sothing big for soone who went through the things you did...."
"Right.....that is right." I said with a slight smile, "We both endured great hardships afterwards...one day, an actual witch and her assistants.....they ca to the village, seeking out sothing. In return of allowing them to stay, she gave them food that would last a month along with a bit of gold that would buy them more food. The village elder was more than happy to accept, so long as they didn’t cause trouble.....and well.....that is exactly what happened....."
"What?" Mya asked, "W-What did she do?"
"The witch was quite the pretty one." I said with a slight smile, "She had long black hair and dark eyes....like yours, Mya.....she was voluptuous.....and was a fine woman...."
"Oh." She said softly
"Her assistants were girls no older than 16 at the ti. I don’t rember their faces well...but they were petite and sowhat tall." I continued, "And for so reason, the mont the witch and the girls saw .....they had an unusual glint to their eyes. The Witch offered the Woman a hundred gold coins and a giant boar in exchange for . It was quite the offer, one that only a fool would refuse. A giant boar would feed the village for an entire years and it was not sothing that could easily be passed...but the Woman felt sothing was off....and she refused.....this did not sit well with the Witch and she told her that she would regret it."
"What did she do?" Saera asked with a scowl, "Why did she want you?"
"Later that night, I was woken up by a loud sound." I said, "I was sleeping in the Woman’s room, ever since the incident with her rape. She felt safer with over ti, so she would ask to be with her. But that night, I woke up and saw that one of the witch’s assistants was pinning her down to the ground, pulling her hair up as she was forced to look at . The Woman was crying, not wanting to see what was happening. I was confused, very confused. I asked myself, ’Why is she crying? What is happening?’, but little did I know that the Witch was atop ...having her way with ."
"W-What?!" Mya exclaid, "What do you an?!"
"The first ti I experienced Sorcery. She had used a spell to keep paralyzed and made my mber erect. I was a young boy, too young for any sane adult to ever look at in that manner. But that didn’t stop the Witch. She wanted ...so she did." I said as I looked down, "And for hours, both her and the other girls would have their way with , choking while they did that....they beat .....they bit .....they did things to that I don’t like rembering....all while she watched. Quite ironic, isn’t it? Too ssed up to have happened, haha.....I watched the Woman get raped by soldiers....and not too long after, she watched get raped by a Witch and her apprentices....."
Maegelle began to shed tears, trying to hold back her sobbing, "No..." She said, "T-That’s not right....."
"After a few days of all of that, the Witch and her apprentices left. I had no idea why she would even do that. What was the point? Did she see sothing in that nobody else did? I was so confused....." I continued, "But the truth is....both those incidents disturbed both of us in ways that could not be spoken. A certain...well, connection ford. Her husband and the others were still gone, in a War. The villagers still didn’t like us.....All we had was each other.....and we found comfort in that fact."
I smiled slightly, feeling fond of that ti. As montary as it was, it was quite a fond mory of her.
"Not long after, the Husband returned." I said, "But without the other children. It was not sothing the Woman wanted to deal with but it turned out that the others died in an ambush, the army’s camp was attacked viciously, and they were caught up in it. The Husband and the squad he was a part of were given a few months off; The Royal Army had managed to push back the enemy montarily so he returned ho. The Village was getting their pieces back together and that brighter future was closer than ever....."
"So....things got better?" Mya asked
"In a way. The Husband was a bit more accepting of , thanking of keeping his wife safe." I nodded, "And after a while, the two of them decided to conceive a child. But.....right after she was pregnant, he was called back to battle. So he had no choice but to leave, knowing that if he and the other n did not answer the call, funding for the village would disappear and it would leave them back in poverty. After he left, the Woman and I were patiently waiting for him."
"Did....sothing happen?" Maegelle asked, wiping the tears off
"Sothing did happen." I said, "After a few months, we were told that the squadron he was a part of was completely annihilated and that he and the other n were believed dead. It devastated her....so much so that she was depressed for weeks. I didn’t know what to do so I tried my best to comfort her...."
"Oh no...." Saera said softly, a bit of sympathy in her voice
"I don’t know what happened that day, what had gotten into her..." I said softly, "This was not sothing that a Woman as decent as her would do....but when I comforted her.....well.....we kissed. It was sothing that even I was shocked by. Maybe she was not in her right mind.....maybe sothing in her changed....but.....it happened....and the suppressed feelings that were deep in ....well, they were released....and I kissed her back. A young boy, attracted to a beautiful woman who had the.....glow....of a mother...."
"Oh." Mya said softly, "Drakken...."
"It is a horrible thing." I said, "But.....in my mind, a grown woman already had , so what harm could another one do? And she allowed herself...she was so deep in her despair, her sorrow, the pain of losing her loved one was not sothing she wanted to deal with, so she allowed herself to be taken by this young boy. And well.....I had her...and....for the first ti in my life.....I felt....loved...."
"Drakken, that is....." Maegelle said, "That is not..."
"For a few nights, I had her." I said as i looked down, "And every night, I would go a bit harder....it got to the point, where I could not control myself. I was disturbed, I was affected greatly by the two events that we both had gone through. And she allowed to take her every single ti, while her belly was still large....."
"That makes....so much sense...." Saera said as she looked down, "Why...you.....yea..."
"There was one thing that I forgot, however." I continued, "I was different. I didn’t know at that point but I was very different. I was stronger than any ordinary human, any ordinary mortal. There were stories of individuals being born different than others, destined to be great things in life. I suppose I was one of them....born in a very unfortunate situation. So I was stronger than everyone.....even the poor Woman....."
"You...." Mya looked at , a bit of horror in her eyes, "What...happened?"
"I went too hard." I said as I looked at my hands, "I got caught up in my uncontrollable lust, the emotions I was feeling.....I couldn’t stop myself.....and till this day, that was the only thing I regret. I hurt her...by accident.....and....I damaged her, her body.....her.....child....."
"What?" She said softly
"No." Maegelle’s voice was soft
Saera could not say anything; she was simply looking at with widened eyes. The shock was too great; she couldn’t say a single word.
"The child was lost." I said, "It was not sothing I ant to happen.....but it happened....and it was my fault."
"I accidentally killed her child."
