"MOTHERRRRRRRRR!" Arthur yelled as an arrow struck her mother's shoulder, the arrow came from a bandit hiding on the top of the tree lurking behind the chaos that is happening in front of him.

"ARGHHHH" Her mother screeches in pain gripping the part where the arrow had hit her, Arthur ran as fast as he could to where his mother is so that he can aid his mother. But the moment he's about to reach her, Arthur got a kick in the abdomen and was sent flying. In the air, he saw a muscular 6foot bandit with blond hair wearing a thin brown vest and short brown pants slowly approaching her mother. His muscles are bursting forth indicating that he is powerful his face is elegant like a knight. But the elegant-looking blonde bandit became a monster at that moment he grabbed her mothers' brown hair and lifted her like a fat pig, her mother tried to resist by carelessly punching the bastard but she saw Arthur flying not from afar, at that fraction of a second Arthur and her mother's eye met.

It's like they are trying to communicate with each other, within gazes. His mother wants him to run as fast as her tears go, but the stubborn child Arthur wants to kill the bastard and because he knew if he couldn't stop him. Arthurs mother will die.

While flying, he saw the bandit reach out for a knife with a golden handle then he abruptly slashed the upper part of her mother's light brown vest revealing her cleavage.

"You pack a lot of cleave" the bandit bit his lips but then he saw a curvature in Arthurs's mother. "Too bad, I don't like pregnant ladies"

And at that moment, in the middle of the air. Arthur felt like he's been flying forever with no boundaries to hit.

He was focused on what will the bandit do to his mother that he didn't even notice the chaos that is surrounding them the fighting of his Fathers friends and other members of the bandits.

As everything went in slow motion in his eyes, the leaves that are falling, the drops of blood, the birds that are watching as chaos takes place, everything abruptly turned so slow that Arthur has leisure to reminiscence in the past, he found himself pondering in a sweet moment he and his mother had when he was just a boy.

Arthur and his mother were in the kitchen of a wooden house, there is a long table in front of them, and it's full of vegetables and fruits.

Both of them seemed to be peeling potatoes when Arthur asked.

When I was just a little boy, I asked my mother.

"What will I be?"

"Will I be handsome like dad?"

"Or will I be rich?"

But here's what she said.

"future is not ours to see, so be what you wanted to be" in a white dress and elegant red lips, her mother replied.

So I decided, a murderer seems nice.

And after that thought, everything went so fast that Arthur failed to embrace himself from the impact.

He hit a solid ground rock and a loud bang was heard. Arthur fell on a rocky green surface then he suddenly puked blood. He mourns in pain and the moment he breathed for air, his lungs were unable to breathe.

He tried to get up by lifting his right arm to support him but the moment he tried to move his left arm, he couldn't move it. There he realized his left arm is broken, but that didn't stop him from attempting to save his mother that is in front of him.

"GET UP" he yelled with an airless voice at his failing small body, he forced his body to get up but at the moment he did that, he ran out of breath.

He was running out of air all this time but due to the adrenaline rush, he couldn't notice it. He was too stubborn to give up so he forced himself to stand up.

"AAAAAAAAAA" He screams as he tries to stand up even though every part of his body is screaming in pain begging for him to rest, and there he stood and almost lost his balance.

The Bandit saw Arthur then slid his eyes then smirked, he realized that the boy wants his head badly and the bandit found amusement from it.

Arthur saw the smirked and at that moment, he was fueled by rage.

He gripped his left arm then sprints as fast as he could, Arthur leaps into the air with no hesitation and as rocks rise with him slowly reinforcing and circling his right arm, and the moment he clenched his fist, it became rock fist.

As he was about to fell, he straight punched the muscular bandit right into the face and the impact was enough to make the bandit drop her mother, the bandit was shocked but didn't move an inch after Arthur had punched him.

Arthur used that extra time to try and grab her mother and drag her at the back of her light brown vest and bring her right out of the danger.

But the moment Arthur drags her, he couldn't pull her.

"What?" Arthur tried to pull and pull her mother but then he realized that the bandit's big and muscular hand is gripping her mother's leg, the bandit's hand that is as big as Arthur's face is gripping it so hard that Arthur can hear mother crying. And so he saw a rock right beside his mothers' cleavage and grabbed it, he then uses his magic to reformed it into a pointy rock stick then stab the bandit's hand with it, but the pointy rock simply grumbled the moment Arthur stabs it in the bandit's hand.

"You little runt" said that the bandit. The bandit then grabbed her mother's leg and completely pulling and taking her back, the bandit raised her and pull her as up as the bandit could.

"you dare punch me with your little rock tricks" The muscular bandit spat blood with teeth.

Arthur was not able to muster up any kind of movements because he knew, he couldn't win.

"a-a-Arthur, run." Arthurs mother wanted to say more but the lack of oxygen in her lungs forbids it.

Even though the distance between him and the bandit is not very far, Arthur heard his mother's order very loud and clear.

However, with no damn hesitation, he rushed. He rushed as fast as he could and picks up a random short sword on the way, he sprinted and then slide beneath the bandit or that was his plan.

He got kicked with no hesitation and was sent flying again, Arthur hit a rough rock with pointy ends and it broke his ribs. Arthur puked some blood after gaining a sense of what just happened,

he fell on the ground with no chance of being able to stand up again.

"a simple kick is enough to take you down?" The bandit smirked and lift Arthurs mother making her face him.

"Your little runt got a potential if of course, I allowed him to l-" The bandit couldn't finish his sentence because a sword was sent flying right directly into his face, He looked in the direction where the sword is coming from and he saw Arthurs father rushing in, leaving 3 headless bandits behind.

Arthur regained hope the moment he saw his father rushing in to rescue his mother, but then-

*BANG*

A loud explosion erupted from where his father is. A mage wearing a black cape with golden ends appeared out of nowhere.

"I just saved your ass Jonathan" The mage then pointed fingers at his father, Jonathan the bandit just disregarded the mage and focused on Arthurs mother instead.

"NOOOOOOO" Arthur growls in pain, he wants to rush at the bandit and kill the bastard but his body is degrading and dying as we speak. And now maybe his father is in trouble too, adding even more burden to his small body.

"your family is such a pain in the ass" said the bandit, receiving no response the bandit asked.

"You alive bitch?" said the bandit while staring at her eye.

Arthur's mother is so powerless but she managed to return the stare and spit on him right directly on his face.

The bandit was disgusted and swiped his face with his own hands.

After doing that, he punched her mother's skull with his fist spewing some blood in the process and then slammed her on the ground so hard killing the baby inside her womb.

"A spit will cost you your baby you little bitch" said the muscular bandit then slowly brushes the spit off his face.

Arthur just merely watched everything take in place in the mere distance, and at the moment the bandit slammed her mother, Arthurs vision went blank.
