280 AD In the middle of the alleyway
"haaa!haaaa! are they haaa! gone now?"
Sin kept on running after managing to escape in the alleyway. Each and every single time he breathes out, there's always a white mist coming out because of the cold. Despite being in a narrow alleyway, there wasn't anything in the way so Sin managed to not get tripped.
"but it sure is dark in he-wooah!?"
crack~
Sin stepped into something soft and at the same time something like a bone being crushed but l, before his eyesight could get used in the dark, he heard the sound of the footsteps and the clanking armor of the guards.
"Oi!! you brat!! where are you!?!?!"
"haaaaa!haaaa! tssk they're here already?"
Sin heard the noises coming nearer and nearer. Sin didn't have time to turn and look at what he stepped on and then began running again in the long, cold and narrow alleyway. What Sin didn't knew is he killed something.
" goddammit, that lil shit's fast as always"
"yeah and how could he even see through here, he doesn't even have a lamp"
"Captain, we should pull back now, the kid didn't even manage to get something in his attempt this time anyways"
"Yeah Captain Lean, and doesn't this place gives you the creeps?"
"My armor's getting cold too"
The guards complained to their superior
with a laidback voice.
"alright you lazy bastards, guess its bout time we go ba-"
but before he could finish his order, he saw something in the corner of his eyes a silhouette. he turned his' lamp over where it is and couldn't help but widened his eyes, and sense a familiar foreboding sense that he felt 7 years ago.
" you guys stay here! that's an order!"
"wai- Captain where the hell are you going?"
"wait what is th-bleurggh"
Captain Lean suddenly started to run in the direction where Sin was going.
the guards confusingly look at their calm and collected Captain, suddenly getting panicked and running ahead of them.
They tried to go after their Captain but couldn't, because of his strict and stern order voice that they only hear when there's large a scale of operation going on. when they saw the lying beside silhouette smelling the rotten stench and turned their lamps in that way, they saw a rotting corpse in rags with a smashed head, twitching. One guard couldn't help but throw up to this horrid sight before them.
"Hey! rookie! you almost threw up in me!!!"
"so-sorry bleurg~"
"Fuck, what the hell's going on? and it's almost christmas too"
"Now I don't think I can't eat meat for the month, cause of this shit"
"Is it even dead?"
"Fuck should I know why don't you go try and touching it, Carter!?!"
"That's right, that's right, you're the oldest one here"
"Sorry sir, if it weren't for my weak stomach I would ha-bleurgh~"
"No thank you shitheads, and Charlie if you don't wanna throw up don't keep staring at the corpse, ya dumbass"
Carter the only one who always to wear a cloak over his armor clenched his fist and bumped it hard on Charlie's head who was still throwing up.
"so-sorry"
Charlie the rookie, who had only joined a month ago, is his first time seeing a corpse and a disgusting rotting corpse at that. He was a farmer's child that grew up admiring the guards that keeps the town's peace, and decided to join, when he grows up. He had a raven hair with a sideburn that matched well with his Black iris.
"Now, now it was just a joke take it easy on the greenhorn, Charlie"
"Joke?!? what JOKE!?! do we even have time for that shit, when there's a FUCKING!! CORPSE!! right in you're fucking face, William!? Why don't I smash your annoying handsome face too, HUH!!!?!"
Carter the only who wears a hooded cloak over his armor said, and gave William the middle finger
"Alright that's enough! the two of you, although it unsettles me, we have to investigate what happened here"
"Tssk a'right"
"Hmph!!"
"Yessir"
Reece, the biggest one among them calmed down the group and set up their goals.
