World with perfect Harmony

Sixteen years have passed; the world seems calm as ocean, but there are some deep scars embedded in the hearts of people, able of bringing the high tides of vengeance to the doors of the evil.

In these past years many things have changed other than the lordship of Demon King. In urge to gain the trust of his subjects, he has masked his dark side from his citizens.

Just as that of a termite eats the wood from within destroying its core strength, rendering it hollow, rule of a demon established a partially dead societal system.

So, firstly we will explore the showy world in perfect harmony.

Current night in the city of Madai.

A city famous for its attractive night life, glowing with shiny little fairy lights, streets with perfectly organised shops selling delicious foods, fragrant perfumes, precious gems, valuable furniture's with mesmerising carvings. Fairy world meant for noble people.

Changing your direction to another street leads to a dark world where you can sell and buy slaves male or female, levitating drugs and drinks, animals like horse, elephants, wolf…. Even a lion any wild beasts of your choice.

These streets also harbour wizards, skilled in hypnotising weak minds and in a blink, rip you off your ancestral property, in the name of depicting future.

All these noble and dark business carried out in exchange of 'Ginnis', a kind of golden coins, taken as the measure of wealth and power.

You might be wondering; How I know about these details.

I forgot to mention, "I am Orzala,".

"A 18-year-old good-looking loner left with no one to mourn on my death. In this cruel world, stealing things has kept me alive".

Don't think that I have been in this profession out of habit or my poor financial condition.

The only reason is that it's a kind of family business we hold.

"My father, grandfather, great grandfather, the whole ancestral line survived in the very same profession except my mother. She had the best job possible".

"She was an undercover assassin".

My mask soaked in tears as I was reminded of my old days, kid with no worries gripping on to slender fingers of my mother.. "Those days are long gone".

"Oh! My work"

I am wandering since an hour, all black outfit skin tight, covered face, it's difficult to breath.

All of this, in search of a stranger called 'Serpent queen'.

Name sounds scary and so does her elucidations heard.

"She is a cold blooded woman born in the great clan of Serpents, blessed with the poisonous fangs, has an ability to control water".

"Her poison can intoxicate any venoms in the world so there is a huge demand for her in markets of Madai".

"No…No.. I am not here for her poison, though it is worthy. I have hands on something more special".

A sword!

Not ordinary. A sword made up of rear metal, that was given to my great grandfather by some King of his time imposing a promise to keep it safe.

"Unfortunately, I am at the verge of poverty left with no other choice".

"How many more hours?"

I was lucky enough to stay safe in the streets for almost three hours but, "not any more I guess".

Some muscular men staring at me… I turned back. No one.

That was a confirmation. Those men are after me.

"1, 2, 3….5 men!" My mind triggering my leg to move fast..

"Not a new thing for me. Running for my dear life".

"Men will be men"

Found a ladder to climb up the slave yard. Some handsome men are on the stage for auction exposing their broad chest.

"Aww! Nice abs", These twinkling eyes of mine.

"Oh! They are coming, run".

Those men are about to catch me as I am at the edge of the yard.

"Heeeheee, my sword skills are questionable"

"Window. Jump!"

Finally, after an exhaustive run, got rid of those men.

"Starry sky, ethereal,...wait.. why does this look close?"

"Shit!"

In order to escape those strangers, I jumped over a roof high enough to reach the sky.

After a thirty minutes of great struggle, stepping down the rusted iron staircase, my feet touched the ground.

Even with little skills, today I managed to escape.

"Bloody roughs, won't they leave, even a single woman in the town".

"May be I should find some other ways to find 'Serpent Queen'".

Walking down the streets for some minutes, I reached my home.

"What a relief!" though this a small square shaped space capable of accommodating two plus one person, a cookhouse left empty..

"I don't cook often. Steal and eat policy"

Coming to the most preferred part of my place, bedroom..

"Ahhaa! Got you", lying on the bed after a busy day feels soo good"

It has a connect washroom too.

"Hygiene comes first"

My growling tummy, "you can only get a bottle of water"

Changing myself to a comfortable cloth, "I feel dizzy"
