A strange paladin

PoV Marcello

With no good weapon in sight, I simply grabbed the sword I borrowed from Rose and headed towards certain death; the others took off for the skies, even Valis.

I didn't know exactly what or how I was feeling; many contrasting emotions were imbued in my heart, and they all got ten times stronger with each step I made towards my enemy. I could feel their intensity shocking my body, giving me constant goosebumps.

I knew I wasn't the person fit for this job. The reason I was chosen to take part in this was mostly thanks to my appearance. As an actor, I often played the role of a stoic character, one that could stay calm at all times and always have the strength to resolve any conflict through his own power.

Yet I was the opposite of that, always has been, a cocky, overdramatic coward, always in debt, always causing trouble, and always ending up having his ego checked by a bunch of gangsters.
