As blood streamed down her face, coughing could be heard a distance away. The coughing came closer as footsteps could now be heard. From the sky droplets could now be seen coming down, the sound of the droplets pitter-patting filling her ears. In the distance a man could now be seen. The girl who seemed to be around 14, quickly discerned that this man was the source of the noise that filled her ears. She tried to move but the chains that restrained her hands and feet rattled. The man that was quickly approaching smiled seeing the scene with played in front of him. The expression on the girl’s looked grim as her face turned pale at the sight of the man. The man crept closer to the young girl with his smiler growing wider and wider.
“Whatcha doing little girl.”
The sound of chains rattling made the man beam in excitement. The rocky and uneven floor made the man look massive in comparison to the little girl. She tried to move her body but the chains restrained her. She finally came to the conclusion that there was no use in doing so. Behind the man figures could be seen wearing silhouettes that covered their body figures as she could not discern the sex. The moon reflection could be seen on the pond, which separated the forest to the crumbling structures. Which moments ago changed from a city to being rumble. The ground started shaking and the man lost his footing soon followed the silhouettes. The pole which was held the chains jumped from its original position stuck inside the floor. The girl not letting this opportunity go to waste she quickly slid the chains down pole, turned around and ran in the rain. The cracked and uneven floor caused her feet to undergo immense pain. The ruble came crashing down brought dust, wood, glass, and other small substances on the ground. She ran and ran she was overcome with an adrenaline rush. Her heart felt like it could explode but she could not allow for this man to get what he wants again. She wanted to look behind her but she was scared. Thoughts like ‘what if they catch or ‘if I turn around what will I see’ filled her head. Her hand formed a fist and she swiftly turned her head to stumble on a rock in front of her. She braced herself and ended up scraping her elbow and knees. Even though she fell a sinister smile appeared of her face. The rustling of tree were heard as she turned around. Something that seems to a ball made its way in front of her. The color drained from her face as she stared at the head, the eyes looked as though I didn't even know how it died. She was about to scream when she hears a ghastly voice.
“Master we can’t locate her.”
She barely stopped herself by grabbing her arm digging her nails so hard her arm started to bleed.
“What do you mean you can’t find her? What about magic detection.” The man
“We don’t have enough mana left to perform such action. Also soon the imperial knights should be coming soon after our bombing.”
“Tsk.”
“What action should we take should we retreat? After all this is the main location of the empire's factories. They should also be looking for that brat.”
“Let’s go she probably died from being crushed by the rubble do a quick search just in case.”
Her heart was palpitating once again until she heard another voice. It seemed from a young man.
“Master, Master, Master.”
“What Glamshot the imperial knights are coming not only that Duke Delsbon is also sending knights.”
‘Is this what he named his slave? The girl thought trying to reassure herself.
“It was that little brat! Next time I find her I’ll rip her to shreds!”
A different young man with another voice which seemed to be quite high pitched said.
Were leaving Glamhot and Glamshot bring everyone to the south of the city were leaving. I’ll be going to see Archi.” The older of the three said.
“Okay” they both responded. The sounds of foot prints could be heard before diapering in the cold a desolate night.
‘Uncle Delsbon got my message I should be able to kill him if that happens and then Lara won’t try to kill me if I don’t kill that glitchy old man’ she thought. She slowly twisted her body upward in an attempt to quietly leave but before then a cold hand grabbed her arm. She tried to scream but they put a hand over her mouth and prevented her from talking. She then heard a hoarse voice say.
“It will be okay. Just let me help you.”
She keeps trying to pull away and scream. ‘No person in there right mind should listen. This what’s wrong with people. You can’t just trust someone you just met and someone who’s covering your mouth like there going to kidnap you’. She quickly tries to pull away but his inhuman strength keeps her at bay.
“Bon told me to come get you.”
‘This idiot doesn't he know that I know that he just wants me for money. Though I prefer to be alive.’

“Thanks!”
She says before putting a smile on her bruised face.
The man who works for the man named “Delsbon I found her and know who is the ring leader of lemon.”
An old voice starts talking as soon as he finishes. “Did you capture Mr. Riley, Alex.” The man with the horse voice face twitched as he asked “What do you mean mr?”
From the box the voice started cackling before stating “ Because ms. Riley has a special habit cr—. The person now known as Riley interjected “cross dressing. You know what for Desbon!” the girl said in earnest. The man’s gazed at Riley and his face seemed like it tried to express pity but Riley found that pity to be disturbing as she was unused to it and her face contorted as fear was present. The man facial expression showed he was confused but another noice came out of the box. “Remember meet the carriage at the East side of the city!” Desbon said in extreme vigor. Alex and Riley slowly crept to the east side of the city. The ruble still feel down the slope and cries could be heard as the ground was painted crimson. Her feet still in pain caused them to slowly walk toward the East. Alex suddenly stopped to ask “Do you wish for me to carry you.” Riley not missing her said “Yes please, and thank you.” As she went on Alex’s back and noticed that he didn’t move in the slightest, she found that odd because during her training with Delsbon he told her that boy’s should show at least a reaction to this. She found this young man named Alex to be quite weird to show nothing as he felt nothing. It reminded her of those sages that felt no romance, she admired old stars and not the hero’s that most people do. In many stories that the maids read to her when she was smaller told the tales of a hero who saved a young maiden and conquered her heart. She found them unrealistic in the way that they have to have a hero to say them. Why can’t they do that then selves. There’s magic in the world they don’t need to have a strong physical body to be powerful. There’s also been tales of people who came from another world, a team of hero’s who every time save mankind from the demon lord. She’s confused why her people are so dependent on some hero’s. Our people have showed very little advancement in every war. According to her father Delsbon it’s been 498 years since the last appearance of a demon lord. Apparently a demon lord is created every five hundred years. So their creation is near many people fear this. Though even though it’s being created in a few years doesn’t necessary mean their going to war immediately but hero’s are born every 495 years or that should be true but many hero’s have become justice crazy and declared war on the demon first. When she first told the maids my view the maids called crazy and they said if the church heard she’d be called a heretic. I hope that the hero’s aren't justice crazed is what she wished for and surprisingly came true. They were different from last time and from a world called earth. It was said not to have magic and had advanced with a thing called science, which was made to explain how something was made. Their beliefs went against the church, Though their world didn’t have magic they got something called cheat skills. They allowed the user to be an expert in their certain field. Their world was called advanced and science did many things that magic could and couldn’t do but both could be said for that too. They also called them reliant on them she was surprised that someone believed in my views. Though it was drilled in her head as her training to be the “young master” of the household. She learned many things during her training like how to act like a boy, dress, sound, blush, love, like one. But love didn’t quite work out but other then that she mastered it she knew how to do that. She got used to it at some point but could quickly switch to her original personality. Thus her and Alex continued on their short journey to the east of the city. It was rally short after going in his back their speed continued to increase until they made it there and saw a carriage with a crest of a leaf. The lead represents the Mortex family which’s head is Delsbon. Riley awkwardly got off Alex’s back but once again his expression didn’t change. She again wanted to investigate why but she had to get in and didn’t wish to disturb him. So that’s how she felt as she was riding the carriage. Mortex territory was far from the viscount territory that was bombed by the famous terrorist organization lemon. ‘I went their for a political marriage which was supposed to be for her second brother Martin marriage with the viscount daughter Sofia. But that won’t be possible since she and her whole family are dead. She and her family were assassinated by the organization and there true target was probably the second prince who is friends with my After all that happened that day she got tired and fell asleep.
