A whisper

280 AD

In the middle of the alleyway, stood three shadowy figures in front of a rotten corpse, that had it's head in.

"Now that I took closer look, It didn't even had eyes at all!"

"Maybe the eyeballs flew out or smashed, when it got it's head done in, eh, William?"

"No, you idiot, are you even using your eyes, maybe you should have given it to the corpse?

take a good look at it again there's no remainder that it once had eyes in it's sockets or else there would have been eyeballs that looked like of a mashed potatoes after it's death"

Pus and maggots were coming in and out of it's cold body especially the empty eye sockets.

William was the one who shot an arrow to Sin before. He had short blonde hair, with a fair skin, like that of a ladies' and a handsome face. He carefully inspected the corpse again with his brown eyes, he had a good eyesight paired with a good skills in a bow.

"Although judging from the condition of the corpse, it looks like it had died a long time ago, it's clothes is already in rags too, maybe it's a beggar"

" Huh!?! then why is a twitching corpse here and although it looks like it died a long time ago?!?"

sarcasticallyasked Carter, his cloaked being swept by the wind, made the the rookie Charlie stare at it with admiration.

"I don't know why the hell it's like that, hey Reece could you remove the Rags at the body the body"

"Hey!!"

"Alright"

Reece pinched his nose and hurriedly tore the clothes off of the corpse.

"WHY THE HELL DID YOU TORE THE CLOTHES O-hlurp~"

"bleurg~~"

"FUCK!"

"Damn!"

After removing the clothes, they were soon greeted by horrid sight much more intense than before, that even the veterans couldn't help but curse out and hold down their stomach.

"Shit! COVER IT!! COVER IT!!"

Hearing Carter scream, Reece hurriedly threw the rags at the corpse again.

"Damn! is that a corpse or a home for all types of insects and worms?"

"So that's the insides of a body, eh?"

"Di-did you gu-guys se-see the corpse of a ra-rat t-the-there, bleurg~"

"FUCK! don't make me think about it again Charlie!!, there were even guts spilling the fuck out!"

Each and every single one of them, had a comlicated reaction to such a scene.

"William could you speculate the days this thing died?"

"who knows? maybe at the start of winter?"

"Then 22 days from now?"

"yeah"

—————

I was just running away from the guards and took a small rest, after I got out from that long dark alley, and into the narrow and empty streets? although from time to time when I was running I felt like I was being watched. the gaze made my adrenaline rush more so than when the guards were after me, like a prey being hunted down by a predator.

"tssk, not did I only failed my attempt stealing at that fat bastard's apples, the guards weren't even giving a bre-!!!!!!!"

THERE IT IS AGAIN!! Sin's body froze, all his hair's standing on edge, as he felt the "predator's" gaze once again, but much closer and pressuring, as he moved his neck stiffly 180 and shifted his gaze behind him....

thre was nothing..Sin sighed out of relief but then

(Join us~)

A stiff and emotionless voice was whispering in his ears, the cold air sent a shiver down his spine.

(chi~ld you are the perfect vassal)

hehehehheehe~

Sin wanted to speak but couldn't, his mind and body felt like it was being by controlled.

hehehehehe~

(Succumb your mind and body~)

(And lead us~)

(our lord~~)

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!~

The laugh of a devil....

Thought Sin.

Sin slowly reached to a dagger in his cloak. As both of his trembling hands held on to the dagger. He pointed and slowly moved it to his throat. He felt the cold tip of the dagger

As his body felt heavy and Sin's consciousness blurry.

"THIS CHILD IS NOT MINE!!!!"

"A SIN THIS CHILD'S EXISTENCE IS A MISTAKE!!!!!! A SIN!!!!!"

"A DEVIL'S REINCARNATE!!!"

Hearing such nostalgic words from his once so called ???????, made Sin's lips, broke into a sadistic smile.

A hooded figure In a window of a house kilometer away watching this scene.

He had the same stance as Sin's, he was also holding a dagger pointed at his throat, he looked interstingly into Sin who broke into a weird smile.

"Heh, so he can already break through my "authority" and make a movement that I didn't intended him to do, eh?"

"I wonder what monstrosity he will turn into?" "Hope the kid's not one of those brainless flesh eating idiots"

"Three years later, when the time for the "other" side of the world comes and wreak havoc in here, I shall let you live for now.

I look forward to your progress, and if you ever surpassed my expectations..."

.........

.......

....

The figure took one more glance at Sin and released his dagger as well as the stance and "authority".

after that the shadow that came from his body that extended a kilometer over to Sin's shrinked back to a normal shadow of the hooded figure
