Nervous Wreck
The pain was the first thing he noticed, again. It wasn’t just a dull ache, it felt like someone was stabbing and prodding him with red-hot iron swords, again, and Nie could barely move, confused about where he is and why… why was he kneeling on gravel, in the courtyard, in torn clothes, in a pool of his own blood.
…that horrific man was standing right in front of him, holding the struggling boys in his raised arms. He was laughing.
“I’ll do it right here…” he promised, grinning viciously, and threw down his sons on the ground. They were tied up, and no matter how much they struggled, Commander Wilter just laughed, bending down to tear down their clothes. “You can watch it… nothing you could do could stop me…”
Nie tried to prove him wrong, to get up and fight for his son, but the nurse forced him back on his knees, stabbing the bright hot pincers into his wounded side, and the dentist could do nothing else but scream and beg for his sons, maybe out loud…
I almost laugh when I found the wein, not dusty and rusty like every other in the street, but stained with blood and gore from the monsters. Its glass is cracked and when I stop my steed and peek inside, I see a puppy… it is not moving, and it takes me a while to realize it is naught but a lifelike doll.
Humans are near.
I dismount Duende, and pull out the magical sphere again. It lights up violently, and as I turn towards the building, my heart skips a beat.
I recognize a sign. It is a spital, and I don’t know if I should be happy or worried. The soldier boy might have brought my liege here out of need or out of convenience… after all, the building is big. There are enough rooms inside.
I pull out my sword before heading towards the door, leaving my mount without a sound now. Only my armour clanks slightly, but I’m too irked to think about that.
The magical sphere is glowing so bright…
