The rain rather than slowing down or stopping, became even more faster.
That moment was horrifying for the village. Imagine a place full of death, cries, agony and pain and right at that moment, the Earth itself starts crying.
Hate is everywhere in this world, from the throne of a king to the mattress inside the house of a poor.
You can never evade hate, if you have love in your heart, you ofcourse have hate in it too. We often hate those we once loved, our ideals are mixed up. Humans are confused about ideals, they hold different perspective.
And perspective is one thing which defines rightous and bad decisions.
Good and bad are two things which are face of a single coin but they are also twisted themself.
The man laying on the ground or more clearly, forced to lay on the ground was helpless. Right infront of his eyes his own village, his own younger brother, everything was demoslished to nothighness and he couldn't do anything.
Even right now, he could hear the cries of those who were dying—doesn't matter if they were bad or good, if they were prisoners or villagers, he could hear those cries but he couldn't do anything to save those people from their agony.
He himself was suffering from agony, he himself was facing agony, but could he save himself from that agony?
That was a question to be asked and he did ask himself, but did he get an answer?
Indeed.
He had an answer laying inside the pocket of his pant. A syringe filled with the Adrenaline Serum.
He sighed in his heart and had a flashback of an old man who once lived in this village when he was pretty young.
"There once lived a man in our village and later on, he became the hero of the Windsway Kingdom. And the name of that hero was Oliver. "
A group of kids surrounded that old man. That old man was sitting on a big stone with a wooden stick in his hand. He had long white beard and a thick eyebrow. His eyes were mostly closed and his bald head shined from the falling sunlight. His clothing was pretty normal, a coarse wool full sleeved white tunic with a brown colored leggings.
The old man continued, "Oliver was a kid just like everyone of you, but his ideals were different from all of us. His father was an soldier in the army of the Windsway Kingdom and died proudly. Oliver didn't follow the footsteps of his father, rather than that around the age of 17 he left the village and somehow, still ended up in the army of the Windsway Kingdom. One day, in a battle he faced an enemy, a very strong enemy, the commander of the opposing kingdom. The soldiers around him were too scared to even support Oliver and so, they abandoned him. But there was something going inside Oliver's body—adrenaline rush. Oliver somehow ended up killing the commander. "
And then the old man took a breathe, continued, "Oliver was wounded in that battle to the point that it took him two weeks to recover. Later, Oliver was promoted to the vice-commander of the army of the Windsway Kingdom. Oliver's adrenaline rush was something unique which made him so much strong that he just couldn't explain. After few months, the Windsway Kingdom asked Oliver to let them extract few amount of adrenaline from his body and make a serum for the whole army and Oliver agreed but on an agreement that the serum will also be provided to our village. "
There were sparkles in the eyes of the kids and they did want to hear the full story. But then a man interrupted the old man and the old man went with him.
....
The elder brother stood up slowly and showed Alice the syringe his hand and spoke, "This serum isn't like that one your knight injected in her, this serum, it is the pure adrenaline of the strongest warrior of our village—late Oliver. "
Alice had never heard of Oliver, and so he didn't react.
Alice dashed but it was too late as he had injected the serum in his body. His veins popped up and for few seconds, his face became red as tomato but then it returned back to normal.
His muscles grew and his body size also grew.
Alice said to the knight woman, "Be on alert. "
The scar woman didn't join the battle as there was no such orders from Alice.
She stood in an corner and just watch the showdown.
The knight woman dashed first striking hard with her dagger but that man just blocked it very easily, grabbed her hand and threw her into the air.
She was sent flying around 3 meters above the ground.
Alice somehow saw an opening and dashed at that man but rather than striking with his black blade, he threw it towards the knight woman and punched the man on the face.
Bam
The knight woman in the air somehow grabbed his dark blade and landed on the ground.
Her body did get hurt from the impact but due to the adrenaline serum, she didn't feel it.
That man swinged his battle axe.
Alice's fist was still on his face but then Alice grabbed his right shoulded using his left hand and pushed to lift himself in the air and then he got behind that man.
The knight woman threw the black blade towards Alice which cut the cheek of the man and then Alice grabbed it and keeping the momentum, he swinged it with the flow and cut his right hand.
The battle axe didn't touch Alice and as his hand was cut, it was sent flying towards the scar woman.
The scar woman grabbed the battle axe with both her hand but then had to let go as it was too heavy for her.
The knight woman rushed and grabbed that man by hair and pulled him towards the ground.
Tha man again fell on the ground. He had lost all hope, abandoned all his ideal.
He looked towards the crying sky and just wondered—what if he had killed Alice in the beginning but all of this didn't matter now as the past was long gone and the present has arrived.
Alice said to the knight woman, "Go and get his battle. "
She did as Alice command and then Alice said, "Behead him. "
In the next second, his head was laying at half a meter away from his body and blood was coming out of his neck like a fountain which stained the water around it in red.
