The storm of snow and ice never seemed to stop once the great General Esdeath strode into the village. She stood tall, her army at her beck and call behind her. They all feared this blue devil in the guise of a woman.
"Show them no quarter."
It was all she had to say for this army of bloodthirsty killers dressed as soldiers to rampage forward. Esdeath watched with glee as her men began to tear appart the small village before them. This is what awaited those who dared to stand before the mighty empire.
I was sitting under a tree and saw people running away and hiding in fear, so I felt curious and went to look. I found that the army was killing people.Before you say to the media, "What are you guys doing?"Before tilting your head and looking slowly
So they have finally provoked me. A pity, but I suppose it means that I will have more fun crushing their spirits and taking what is rightfully mine. I can already sense a powerful Teigu among them... Perhaps one day soon I shall add such a weapon to my own arsenal. For now, however, there are lives to end and dominance to assert.
Without warning, Esdeath charges forward, her soldiers following closely behind. The village explodes into chaos as the army tears through it like a storm. Her icy blue eyes scan the area for the person who caught her attention earlier. She spots Masako sitting beneath a tree, watching in horror as the massacre unfolds around him.
"Hmm... interesting." Esdeath says to herself, a cruel smirk playing across her lips. "I think I shall have some fun with this one."
I was sitting under the tree and saw you walking towards me.I smiled and walked towards her before saying, "Who are you and what are you doing here?"Before slowly standing and looking at her
Ah, how touching. The innocent little lamb comes forward to greet the wolf. I rather like that sort of bravery in a person. It makes them all the more delicious when they finally meet their end. As for who I am... you could say I'm here to put an end to this rebellion and restore order to the Empire. And as for what I intend to do with you, well, that remains to be seen.
Esdeath circles around Masako, her soldiers moving in closer as well. Their leader draws nearer still, her icy blue eyes seeming to bore into him.
"You can die here today, little one," she whispers coldly, "or you can become something greater... something powerful. The choice is yours."
So I tilted my head and looked at her before saying, "What is death? And does something big and powerful seem interesting?"Before slowly walking up to her and asking her to pick me up
"Ah, I see. You're intrigued." Esdeath says, her voice void of any warmth. She extends a hand toward Masako, palm upward in invitation. "Then come, child, and let me show you what it truly means to be powerful..."
As Masako steps closer, Esdeath's other hand slips behind him, fingers curling into his tunic. With barely any effort at all she lifts the young man off the ground, a pleased smile crossing her features. "My dear boy... you have no idea what you are about to become."
"Let us begin your training," *she says, eyes glinting with anticipation as she turns and walks away from the village. Her soldiers part ranks, forming a path for their newest recruit and his queenly savior. The storm of snow and ice swirls around them as they leave the bloodshed
So I slowly put my arms around her neck and said in her ear, "I'm sure I'm interested in something as big as you."Before slowly rubbing his cheek against hers as she saw the village being burned and people being killed.
Her laughter echoes through the desolate village as you nestle closer to her. "You truly are a delightful creature," she murmurs into your ear. "I think we shall have much fun together." She turns her head slightly, brushing her cheek against yours before focusing once again on their devastated surroundings. "They will all be nothing more than memories soon... but it is memories such as these that make us strong, do they not?"
Her other hand caresses the back of your neck possessively, drawing you even closer. As you inhale her scent - a mixture of sweet perfume and battle-born steel - she chuckles low in her throat. "Ah... I've missed this feeling." The storm winds seem to swirl around them even more intensely, almost as if they were part of some great cycle of life and death.
I looked around before pointing at the church and saying, "Someone is playing hide and seek in the church."Before gently touching her cheek to make her look back.
Her gaze flickers over to you before turning once again toward the church. "Hmm... so there is indeed someone left to play with." She smirks and draws her sword with a fluid motion. "Come out, whoever you are! We won't hurt you..." Her voice carries across the ruined landscape, echoing through windows and doors, hiding places and shadows. "We only want to make you stronger... just like my new friend here."
Her eyes meet yours again, sparkling with mischief. "What do you think? Would you like that? To be stronger than even me?" She pauses, leaning in close enough that her breath caresses your ear. "I can make it happen... if you wish it."
So I hugged her neck and rubbed her cheeks back and forth and said, "They won't come out. We have to go in and touch them."Before slowly pointing to the secret basement entrance to show her the way.
"Hmm... very well, then." The general sweeps her sword through the air, parting the storm around them like water as she leads the way toward the church. Her soldiers fall into formation behind them, weapons at the ready in case the intruder puts up a fight. "There must be some advantage to having such reckless curiosity," she murmurs almost fondly, leaning closer to you as they approach the hidden entrance.
Her eyes narrow as she spots the basement door. Drawing her sword, she kicks it open with enough force to send splinters flying through the air. The storm swirls around them once again as they descend into darkness, seeking out their prey... and their prize.
I, was in her arms, pointed to another room and said, "When I play hide and seek, they sneak into that room."Before smiling innocently and pointing at the key to the room and saying, "That's the one that opens the door."
A cold glint appears in her eyes as she regards you for a moment, seemingly weighing the honesty of your words against some unspoken moral code. Then, with a small shrug, she hands you the key, trusting that you indeed know what you're talking about. "Open it, then." Her voice is flat and devoid of emotion as she watches you approach the door.
Once it's open, Esdeath's soldiers burst into the room, weapons drawn and ready for battle. The sounds of combat echo through the hidden chamber, filling the space with the clash of steel on steel. Masako remains in her arms, seemingly unafraid despite the carnage that unfolds around them.
After a brief skirmish, Esdeath's soldiers emerge victorious, their prey either dead or captured. She turns to you then, her eyes narrowing once more. "
I looked at the corpses of my villagers and said, "But Mom is really good at playing hide and seek. They're really good at pretending to be dead."Before turning to look at her cheek and using his small finger to wipe the blood off her cheek.
"Ah..." is all she says at first, her gaze flicking briefly to the bodies before returning to you. "Well then, I suppose we shall have to find out how convincing they can be." She clasps her hands behind her back and walks toward one of the corpses, kneeling beside it. Her soldiers follow suit, forming a perimeter around them.
Esdeath carefully turns the body over, revealing its face. "Hm... yes, that's quite convincing," she says at last, gesturing for her soldiers to lift the corpse back into place. As they do so, she glances over at you with a calculating expression. "And what of you? Do you truly wish to be stronger than even me?"
She leans in closer, breath tickling your ear once more. "Because if that is what you truly desire... then I can make it happen." Her fingers curl into the fabric
I sat on the barrel and looked at her slowly before saying, "Is being strong good?"Before looking at her and reaching out to ask her to pick him up Before you say, "I really want to try being strong,"
Hmm... an interesting question. To some, strength may mean dominance and control over others; to some, it might signify protection and survival. It all depends on one's perspective." She pauses for a moment, considering your words before straightening up and offering her hand again. "Come now, let me show you what it truly means to be strong... not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well." Her icy blue eyes glimmer with promise and threat in equal measure.
As you take her outstretched hand, a shiver runs down your spine at the contact; warmth seems to flow from her skin into yours. "I shall train you... I shall make you my new general," she says with quiet determination. "And together we shall bring this empire even greater glory than it has ever known."
Her soldiers part ranks once more, forming a path through the carnage
