Saving the Village

"Make sure that everyone is here! Don't let even a single one escape!"

A man with a face full of scars bellowed.

He had a short stature with an unkempt white beard reaching down to his neck.

On his hands were two sharp axes that also had some traces of blood on it just like his clothes.

The man had a ruthless smile on his face as he looked at the tied up villagers in front of him.

Suddenly, one of the villagers was able to remove the gag on his mouth, "You'll die when the knights of the Corelli Fortress get here!"

"Oh?" The man had a look of surprise on his scarred face.

A scared expression appeared on his face as he walked slowly towards the villager who spoke, "Really!? I think we should retreat…"

Hearing the scarred man's sincere tone, the villager became confused, "R-Really?" 

Since their voices weren't exactly low, the other villagers glanced at one another. Hope could be seen in their eyes.
