Prologue| Destruction and Demons

(Warning: Gorey, Detailed, stuff here, if you can't handle gory stuff. Read until January 2, X784. Then skip to the next chapter. ((I think it's gory, but I'm not sure ☹️))Also: Contains Language)

July 07, X784

Stars shined across the sky and shimmered above the town of Hythe. Townspeople had already turned off their lights and were already in their slumber. Except, for a child and her mother.

Screams of pain and sorrow echoed through the town, followed by bone curdling crunching and splats of bodies. The bright lights of fires can be seen from afar. Large pieces of wood, damaged furniture, and decreased guild members were sprawled out everywhere among the countryside of Hythe.

Hiding from all of that chaos, a mother and her child were speaking to each other for the very last time. "Mommy..." The child cried as she was being hugged by her mother. "Are we going to be ok?" The sight around the child scarred her. The mother seemed to notice and blocked it away from her by opening the long sweater she had, widening it.

"Yes, sweetie, e-everything is going to be alright." Even though, there was panic in her voice, the child still trusted her. The mother, too, was scared. The child continued to cry, but was starting to calm down by the soft lullaby her mother sang to her.

'Will this be the last I'll see my daughter?' The mother thought in her head as she sang. 'Will this be the last I'll live on this land? Oh dear god, help me...' Tears streamed down the mother's face as she knew she had to do something about it. The mother sighed and went into action. She placed her hands on her daughter's shoulder and looked into her eyes.

"(Y/N), honey, I want you to keep this." The mother whispered as she took off a gold necklace decorated with gems and moved her brown hair that was in a side pony tail. "When you open it like this, a picture will appear in it. It's a surprise, but I want you to open it when you're alone. Okay?" The mother pressed onto the tip of the necklace, making the necklace open on it's own and revealed a picture of their family. The little girl, (Y/N), nodded and smiled at her mother. "Ok mommy."

"Now, you need to leave this scary place and find a nice place with pretty flowers. Mommy has some... important work to do. You think you could do that?" The mother asked making the child nodded furiously. "Yes, mommy!" The mother stood up and held the child in her arms. "Ok, but we need to be very sneaky!" The mother said, covering her child's head with a large burgundy scarf. "And (Y/N), if anything happens to me, I don't care what, but please, run away from me and find the pretty place with pretty flowers. Don't turn back, (Y/N)." The mother's purple eyes looked directly into (Y/N)'s (Eye Color) colored eyes.

"Understood, mommy!(≧∇≦)/" (Y/N) smiled and raised her arm in a Solute way to her mother. Her mother smiled back.' They walked past sneakily thought the rubble of destroyed buildings and flames. Her mother coughed quietly due to the smoke. She tried so hard not to draw attention to herself and her child.

"You think that's everyone?" A voice said loudly, close by to the mother and child. In an instant, they hid behind rubble. "I think-Wait-I smell something..." The mother's eyes grew big and started to tear up as panic filled her. The child noticed her mother shaking and the state of panic she was in and asked, "What's wrong, mommy? Why are you scared?" Lights of Blue and Green came out from the child's hand to her mother. "Everything is going to be fine like you said it would be!" (Y/N) said loudly and smiled as she calmed her mother with her magic. Her mother shushed her and looked back. Within contact of the lights, the mother sighed and calmed down. "Thanks (Y/N). Now I'm glad I taught you healing magic-" The mother stopped talking at she heard voices now closer than before. "Faa!~ Faa!~"

"Stay here and collect the organs. I'll handle this." The mother's heart stop and turned to her daughter who was humming. 'Oh how can you be so happy and calm in a dangerous time like this, (Y/N)?'

The mother had tears streaming down her face. "(Y/N), cupcake, I just want you to know that your mommy loves you a lot and-and even if you do something very bad, I'll still love you, (Y/N). And please, don't forget that. Mommy loves you. I'm going to give you a very special mission... Run! Run as fast as you can! Don't turn back, don't stop, don't talk to anyone! Find the pretty place and wait for me there! No one will ever notice that you got away." The mother cried to her daughter as she kissed her forehead and hugged her daughter.

(Y/N) was worried to why she would have said that, but she was focused on the mission she was about to do. "Ok, mommy! I love you too! Don't forget that either! <3" (Y/N) hugged back and kissed her mother's cheek and ran the other way.

"Ohohoho!~ What a lovely show I just witnessed!" A young man with animal features said, making the mother jump and getting into fighting stance. The young man tilted his head, making his shoulder-length, dark blonde hair move slightly. His gold eyes narrowing at the distress mother and his muscular arms now crossed. "Don't get into fighting stance, lady. We both know you're going to die. After all, you're still under our debt..." The young man grinned showing off his sharp teeth.

The little girl huffed and sat down on a rock as she ran away from that area. She panted for air only to gasp. In front of her was beautiful scenery. A waterfall was seen in front of her. Tress in a symmetrical stance and pretty flowers everywhere. Her eyes lit up like stars as she looked at her surroundings.

She jumped up from the Rock and said in joy, "Mommy would love this! I need to go tell her!"  The little girl was about to run back, but stopped. "But Mommy said to stay here and don't come back..." The little girl looked up at the moon that shone above her. "But what if-" The little girl stopped mid-sentence due to loud explosions from behind her.

(Y/N) then went into a panic state. "Mommy?! What if mommy is not okay?!" (Y/N) said, throwing her little arms over her head. She then used her magic to calm herself. She stood up and turned back. "Mommy said if I did anything bad, she'll still love me." (Y/N) said as she walked back to where she came from.

"Don't worry mommy, I'm coming for you!ε=ε=(っ*'□')っ" (Y/N) then began running back in a speed that was incredibly fast. In almost an instant, she had reached her destination. She went everywhere looking for her mother and saw two figure backs in front of (Y/N). One had a bunny tail and another had a cat-like tail. Thinking it was guild mates, (Y/N) spoke to them. "Have you seen my mommy?"

They then turned around making (Y/N) squeak. They weren't guild mates. In fact, they weren't even human. Paralyzed in fear, (Y/N) stepped back from them and thought of multiple ways to run away from them. "Faa!~ Faa!~ What an angelic face you have!" Said a young girl with a light fluffy coat with large Pom Poms. She wore her dark hair in a Bob haircut with rabbit-like ears popping out.  "Wouldn't it be a shame if it was... cut off?!" The girl chuckled darkly and jumped around (Y/N). "Faa!~ Faa!~ Faa!~"

Instead of being terrifying, she was being annoying. (Y/N) got tired of her "Faa's" and pushed her out of the way, using extreme force. "I'm sorry, but I'm looking for my mommy...(*'ー')" (Y/N) said, frowning. She then turned to the man in front of her. "Do you know where my mommy is?"

She looked up to a man who had dark blonde hair reaching to his shoulder and covering the left side of his face, hiding his left eye from sight. Just upwards of his head is a pair of cat-like ears. His nose is small and black like a canines. He has a furry tail protruding from his lower back, colored the same as his hair. From his grin, she could tell he had sharp teeth. His visible eye bears a thick dark outline and black spots are present both below it and above its linear eyebrow. He bent down and placed his hands on his hips. His intense eyes meeting hers and a grin plastered on his face.

He wore a striped dark green tank top, a brownish bandanna with pale yellow spots around his neck, a blue garb tied around around his waist, his loose, baggy, whitish beige pants reached down below his knees, and wore plain black boots.

"Hey kid, You got guts to push her like that. Do you even know who we are?" He noticed tears pricking at the corner of (Y/N)'s eyes looking at the destruction behind him. The man saw this and grinned. "You see all this destruction behind and around me?! This is the massive work I have done and killed everyone!" The man laughed then rode his arms above his head. "And you're so called Mother is dead." The man said coldly and in a dark tone.

(Y/N)'s eyes widen and screamed as tears streamed down her face. "No! She can't be!! You're lying!!" (Y/N) screamed at the top of her lungs and launched herself at the man. He smirked, waiting for impact to hit the little girl, but it never did.

Instead, the little girl just went through the him. His eyes widened as he saw the little girl's body go right through him. The little girl landed and crouched on the ground. The little girl tried to wipe her tears away, but tears still went down her face.

"You... Y-You weren't lying, mister. W-Why would you do this to me or m-my mommy?!" The little girl cried out as she stood up and faced the man who was still surprised. The man blinked and sighed. "The names Jackal. One of the nine demon gates of the assassination guild, Tartaros. She was under our debt and we took care of it." The young man threw his arms in the air and showed the girl his destruction. He then narrowed his eyes at the little girl and said, "And please, explain to me, what you just did."

"I-I used my magic a-and went through you to e-evaluate and see h-how your m-magic works, b-but you're a demon s-so..." (Y/N) stuttered and shivered, reflecting back at Jackals history. "I-It's called the S-Shadow God Technique. I-I can go through you and touch you, b-but you c-can't touch m-me." (Y/N) explained to Jackal.

Jackal stared at (Y/N) and grinned. "What interesting magic you have! I wonder what else can you do!~" Imitated by what the little girl did to her, the little bunny ran after the little girl, grabbed her, and placed a dagger at her throat. "Say Jackal... What are we going to do with her."

Jackal looked at Lamy and said sharply, "Let's Keep her." Lamy was lost for words and before (Y/N) can say anything, Jackal raced up to her and placed his hands on (Y/N)'s head. A large explosion can be felt from his hand to her head causing her to gasp and fall limp into his arms. Her eyes closed and fell unconscious, flopping like a rag doll. He then tied the girl up with a rope.

He didn't kill her, but made her unconscious. Jackal was interested with the magic the little girl had and thought it could be used for the better things...

-

"... You mean to tell me..."

"She can...!"

"You dare bring this filthy..."

"... a human...?!"

"... Kill it!... Burn it with fire!..."

"Or..."

"... She can..."

"... We can..."

".... A demon...?"

"That's preposterous!"

Loud yelling and arguing was heard by (Y/N) who was starting to wake from her deep slumber. She fluttered her eyes opened and tried to move. She looked at her surroundings to see she was in a dim lighted room filled with weird looking people.

Horns popped out of their heads and they had claws. The little girls eye widen and let out a gasp of horror. She seemed confused and scared of what was going on. They seemed to hear her and turned their attention to her.

"Oh, it seems the child is awake." Said a tall skeleton dressed in form-fitting robes with a high collar. The robe had a checkered pattern, and covers a collared shirt and tie that he wore beneath. Around his face and on his head, the skeleton wore an ornate head piece, revealing a guild mark of some sort, covering his jaw and fanning out over his head almost like a crown. His body seems to be that of a skeleton, with him possessing no nose, eyes or skin.

The weird bunny girl looked at (Y/N) and jumped on (Y/N) with her hands in fists. "I'M GOING TO KILL YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID TO ME YOU FUCKING B***H!!!!" The bunny girl screamed in (Y/N)'s face, causing her to cry and disappear. The bunny girl rose her fist and hit the concrete (Y/N) was laying on. The bunny girl screamed in pain and looked for (Y/N). The other beings who were in the room were astonished. How can a little girl have this such power?

Jackal looked over to a closet that was across the room and walked over to it. He got out a special type of glove and put it on. He then knocked on the closet and said, "You can come out, little girl. There's no reason to be scared." Hearing it was the man from before, (Y/N) slowly opened the door and hid behind Jackal, careful not to touch him.

"She seems to have recognize you, Jackal. And from evaluation, the girl is fond of you and has great trust in you." Said a tall man with long, wavy, black hair that was tied up in a large ponytail. His dark eyes looked directly at (Y/N) who was peeking at them from behind Jackal.

The man walked over to where (Y/N) was and kneeled in front of her. "Hello little one. I'm completely astonished at your talent and hope to call you one of my own. My name is Mard Geer, Co-Leader of the guild, Tartaros. Our master and leader is E. N. D, a extremely powerful demon who we all look upon. If you can, please, tell us your name?"

(Y/N) was too scared to talk and was shaking like a rattle. "M-M-My n-name is-is (Y/N) C-Conbolt." She managed to say and looked down. Mard took out his hand and they shook hands.

"Ah, yes, a Conbolt. I didn't expected that. I know this'll be a little harsh, but would you consider joining us? If you refuse my offer, you will die." Mard Geer said to (Y/N) who trembled even more. "...even if you do something very bad, I'll still love you." (Y/N) closed her eyes and replied, "Y-Yes, S-Sir."

"OH HELL N-" The Bunny Girl jumped up from her crying state and tried to tackle (Y/N), but was stopped after Jackal touched her head. Just like with (Y/N), he made her unconscious.

Mard grinned and stood up and turned to the other beings in the room who were, surprisingly, quiet. "If you may, please introduce yourself." They looked at each other and nodded.

(This is just introduction of the demons, you can skip this.)

"My name is Kyôka, One of the nine demon gates, nice to meet you sweetheart." Kyôka said, bending down to (Y/N). (Y/N) shook her hand. Kyôka wore revealing revealing clothes, wore a chin guard of a mask, and had her long green hair back and flowed freely. She wears a dark cloth on her upper body that partially covers her chest and wraps around her back and detached sleeves with three bulb-like adornments. Kyôka also dons a dark thong and studded belt around her waist, as well as detached dark pants that begin mid-thigh and end where her aviary feet begin.

"Hi! My name is Seilah. It's nice to meet you, (Y/N)-Sama!" Seilah's appearance is that of a woman, with large breasts and her most noticeable feature being the two large gold-looking horns protruding from the sides of her head and pointing upwards. Upon her head is a white band which separates her hair, framing her bangs from her hair below the band. Worn upon her forehead is a small circular symbol with a small dot on the inside and surrounded by several dots around the top. Tied around her neck is a small white-colored strap. Meanwhile, Seilah's attire consists of a very revealing beige-colored leopard-printed kimono, bearing the decorative marks on her shoulders. The kimono is wrapped around her torso with a thick, decorative yellow ribbon that ties behind her back, and her outfit is complemented by thigh-high socks that reveal her heels and toes.

The skeleton-man walked up to (Y/N) and looked down at her. "My name is Keyes, young one. Pleasure to meet you." Her soft hands met his skeleton ones and shook.

A tall, large, muscular, demon approached (Y/N) and looked down at her. (Y/N) looked up at the pale blue male and trembled at him. "Filthy human you are..." Kyôka and Mard gave him a look of death and the demon stopped his mean comments. "Anyways, I'm Ezel." With that, Ezel walked away. "Ezel doesn't like humans that much, but he'll get used to you sooner or later." Jackal whispered to (Y/N).

A dark-skinned young man with long, neck-length hair, and muscle-bound arms and chest walked in front of (Y/N) and looked at her. "My name is Tempester." He tilted his head a little, making his light green hair move slightly and dark blue eyes stare at (Y/N) and walked away. "Tempester doesn't speak that much." Jackal whispered to (Y/N).

A muscular, shark-like demon introduced himself as Torafuzer. A short, round, humanoid, with his one eyes introduced himself to (Y/N) loudly and energetic. "MY NAME IS FRANMALTH!!! I CAN'T WAIT FOR HOW OUT FRIENDSHIP IS GOING TO BE!!!(*≧∀≦*)" Franmalth yelled at (Y/N), excitedly. "And the one you knocked out, bunny girl, her name is Lamy." Jackal said, pointing at the unconscious girl.

(Continue.)

"Ah, so that's everyone, (Y/N). We still have three other members, but they're out somewhere. You'll possibly see them one of these days." Mard Geer said, when suddenly, the guild doors opened and there revealed three people. "Or now."

A tall old man with a large bushy beard and a robe noticed (Y/N) and frowned. "Did another sneak in again?" The old man said. The woman next to her glared at (Y/N) and said, "I can take care of this." Mard stood up and yelled, "Amanda! No!!" But it was already too late. Amanda already launched herself at (Y/N) and had a large blue ball of magic in her hands and was already going to kill the young girl.

(Y/N) saw this and used her Flying Thunder God Technique and After-Image and went through the demon. Amanda's eyes widen and turned around. There stood two little girls. Two (Y/N). Amanda got two magic power balls and threw them at (Y/N).

Both (Y/N)'s smiled at Amanda and the power balls went through (Y/N). One (Y/N) disappeared and the real (Y/N) stayed there. (Y/N) closed her eyes and whispered, "Night of falling stars." A bright yellow light came from above and little stars went after Amanda, exploding her.

"You're one overpowered little girl." Amanda commented on (Y/N). (Y/N) smiled and gave a thumbs up. Mard sighed and turned to Amanda. "Amanda. This is our newest and youngest member of the guild, (Y/N) Conbolt." Mard said, glancing at (Y/N).

"Oh a Conbolt...Is she going to end up like her mother?" Amanda asked, frowning. "Amanda!" Mard growled. Amanda groaned and looked down at the startled little girl."Sorry for mistaking you as an intruder, as you may know, my name is Amanda Loi." She let out her hand and shook hands with (Y/N).

"Heh. Didn't know a little kid like you can be so powerful." A man said behind (Y/N). She turned around and saw a tall, well-built man. His eyes are black and so as his short, spiky hair. On his ears are silver cross pendent earnings. He wore silver armory and has a writing on his chest plate, "Absolute Zerø." (Y/N) took a good look at his face and her eyes widen.

"You... Y-You look like some I know..." (Y/N) closed her eyes and tried to remember who, but couldn't. The man glared at her and pointed at her. "If you're talking about that filthy kid I have, then I have no intention of speaking to you at all!" The man yelled at her causing (Y/N)'s delicate feelings to break. He spoke so harshly about a certain person (Y/N) didn't know about, but deep down inside the man, he missed that certain person. (Y/N) looked down and felt tears pricking at the corner of her eyes and said, "I-I'm s-sorry, b-but I-I don't k-know wh-who you are t-talking about..."

The man noticed what he had done and his expression soften. "Sorry, kid. I thought you were referring to someone else. I shouldn't have yelled at you." The man patted your head and introduced myself. "My name is Silver Fullbuster. Nice to meet you, (Y/N) Conbolt." (Y/N) wiped her tears away and smiled at the man.

(Next Day)

"Alright (Y/N). We need to train you more so you can be a lot stronger." Jackal said as he walked (Y/N) outside. They walked in front of a hanging dummy and Jackal stood next to it. "Say, (Y/N), how old are you?" Jackal asked, walking around you, looking at you.

"I'm only eleven..." (Y/N) said as she looked at her new clothing Lamy gave her. She wore a white dress coat with black leggings and brown combat boots. Kyôka did (Y/N)'s hair in a loose braid and added a bow for "cuteness."

"Oh, so puberty haven't hit you yet..." Jackal smirked as he put his finger on his chin, blushing. "Puberty?" (Y/N) looked at Jackal, confused. "Aww you're so innocent it's cute!" Jackal teased her as he squeezed her cheeks. Luckily, Jackal had his special-gloves on. If he didn't, (Y/N) would explode. Literally.

"Ow! It's not cute!" (Y/N) yelled as she pushed Jackal with a large amount of force, sending him to a wall. Unknowingly (Y/N) had did that, she turned to see Jackal not where he used to be.

"Jackal?" (Y/N) asked as she walked over to Jackal who was pulling out his tail from rubbish of the concrete wall.

He pulled out his tail only to fall on his back. Jackal got up and cleaned himself. "Agh! Damn kid! You're fucking overpowered." Jackal growled as he fixed his hair. (Y/N) gasped and put her hands over her mouth. "I did this?! I didn't even know I had this much strength. Mommy said to never use all my strength and I think she referred to a situation like this." (Y/N) said, then she began to heal Jackal from his scratches, bruises, and swollen tail.

Jackal fell back on his bottom and sighed. "And you still rely on your mother." Jackal snarled. (Y/N) frowned while healing him. "What do you mean?" (Y/N) asked, furrowing her eyebrows. "You see... Your mother stole something from us that was extremely important. She said she'll exchange something in return, but it never happened. At that point, she was under our debt. We finished it off by killing her."

(Y/N) looked at him in horror. "Y-You killed her?!" She yelled, tears pricking at the corner of her eyes. Jackal frowned and nodded. "Why?!" She screamed. "Why didn't you guys finish it off by a different way?! Like jewels or something..." (Y/N) yelled.

"We don't want Jewels. We aren't normal human beings, (Y/N)." Jackal said, leaning back. "And the world doesn't work like that, (Y/N). You gotta learn that."

(Y/N) was lost for words and stormed away from that area.

=======

(Your P.O.V)

After storming off, I went back to a room given to me by Mard Geer. He seemed like a cool person. I like him more than jerkface Jackal.

It was a large room with two large windows covered with curtains, a huge closet by the door, and a bed by the window. I liked my room because it was (Favorite Color). Plus, there was a bathroom in the room! I never had a room like that!

After I had washed up, dried my hair, and put on clothes, I ate. I then started to think. I looked in the closet for the dress I wore yesterday and dug in the pockets. I got out two things; a doll and my necklace. I looked at the doll and placed it on my bed. Mommy and Daddy gave it to me on my 6th birthday. That was five years ago and the same year my daddy left me and my mom for another woman. The woman was a dancer and her name was Enno.

Before that happened, we used to go to a guild, but I forgot what it was called and I plan to research it in the future.

I didn't know why he left, but as I grew up, I finally realized what he had done. I'm still mad at him because he put us through Hardships. Like money, food, water, and protection. One time, some guy tried to take my mommy away and luckily, someone heard our pleas for help and helped us. His name was Phoebus and he introduced us to a guild and we eventually became guild members.

I only knew my daddy for 7 years, but my mommy said that he was a cheating-no-heart-lying-scum-bag. My mom did show me a picture of him and so I plan to find him and confront him when I'm older. I opened my necklace mommy gave me and there was a picture of our whole family. Mommy, Daddy, and I.

What I need to focus now is to be a better assassin. In order to live, I have to be a great assassin. I stop my thoughts as I heard A knock on my door. I opened it to see Amanda. She had a grin on her face and her arms were crossed. "Hey bitch. Come out of your fucking room and go to the main hall." Amanda said with a glare. I looked at her shocked. Why was she being mean?!

"What?! Cat got your tongue?! I don't even know the fuck why Mard even recruited you. You're just a weak, pathetic little girl who needs to grow up!" Amanda snarled. "I overheard you and Jackal talking earlier. I find it pathetic that you're still crying over your mommy." She then rose her hand/claw and slapped me across the face. I gasped in pain as now 4 cuts are visible on my right cheek. Blood oozing from it. I touched my cheek and flinched at the touch.

"B-But w-why?!" I said, loudly and pushed Amanda, causing her to crash to the wall. That ducking female dog screamed at the top of her lungs as if she were dying. I heard footsteps running to our area and saw Mard, Jackal, Kyôka, and Seilah look at Amanda and I.

"What happened?!" Mard said as he went to go help Amanda up. I saw tears on Amanda's eyes and saw that she hugged Mard. "S-She tried to kill me!" Amanda said, as she revealed scratches and bruises on herself.

What a ducking lier! Mard turned to me and asked, "Is this true, (Y/N)? You tried to kill a demon?!" I widen my eyes and shook my head. "No!"

"Lier!" Amanda cried out. I turned to see Kyôka furious and Seilah trying to be mad. I turned to Jackal was trying to hold in laughs. What's wrong with jerk face?!

"(Y/N). I want the truth!" Mard stomped his foot and rose his foot. He's acting like he's my father. "I did not try to kill her!" I rose my voice back at Mard.

"Faa!~ Faa!~ Amanda! You know very well that hitting a child is bad and so as self-harm!" Lamy jumped towards us, holding a wet towel on her hand.

"You think I'm lying?!" Amanda screamed out. "That bitch tried to kill me!" Amanda pointed at me. I tried my best not to cry, but thanks to my delicate feelings, I did.

"Faa!~ Faa!~ You mean, you tried to kill her?" Lamy said as she walked towards me. "The only reason I have a wet towel in my hand is to give it to (Y/N)." She handed me a towel with my free hand. I put down my right hand to show my four large cuts on my cheek. They all saw this and turned to Amanda, now furious at her. I placed the towel on my cheek and it felt good.

"Amanda, really?! Why are you latching out on a poor little girl?!" Mard said in anger. "I-..." Amanda had no words and gave me a cold stare.

"Kyôka."

"Understood."

Kyôka took Amanda somewhere and left with Seilah. Mard sighed and was about to speak when Jackal busted out laughing. "Hahahahaha!" Jackal wiped a tear.

"Amanda is a sadistic bitch who gets jealous of everything!" Jackal laughed. Mard looked at him because of his language and nudged him. Jackal looked at him confused and Mard gestured me. "Oh. Sorry."

Turns out that Mard sent Amanda to go get me because I was going to get my guild Mark. I got my guild Mark and now it's stamped on my upper right shoulder. That night, I couldn't sleep due to the horrid screams that filled the whole guild.

===

(2nd Point Of View)

After that night, you woke up to think this was all a nightmare, but the sad truth slammed into you. You had realized the position you were in and became depressed about your mother and the state you were in.

You couldn't become a deadly assassin. The group members saw this and were outraged of how you wouldn't eat, sleep, or even respond to them. Jackal tried to use his charm on you, but nothing came from you.

After a few months of depression, Tartaros made up their decision and came up to you one day. They took you underground to a forbidden place you weren't aloud to go. It was a joy to half of the members, but crucial to the other side of the demons. They actually had a heart, but the decision was made.

Tartaros tied you up and brought you into endless torture and beatings. They said it was to wake your inner "demon." It was also to teach you some things, they said. After an interacting with your guild Mark, they finally realized that your pressure point was your right shoulder, in which, was the home of your Tartaros Mark.

They smiled in victory and saw the demon you've become. As they finally received the reaction they wanted, your face was cold and emotionless. A kick, nothing. A punch, nothing. A scratch, nothing.

They immediately stop the torture and untied you and showed you the world once again. Tartaros had brainwashed you and messed with your mind and soul.

For those years, she had forgotten how to smile and be a happy child.

After those traumatizing years, it was often for you to hear voices calling out from your insanity.

October 15, X784

The moonlight shined across the area and stars shimmered above them. The night was cold and chilly, with a cool breeze from the blowing wind. It was calming weather.

Feeling the cold air on her skin, (Y/N) climbed up the apartment building in front of her and jumped onto the roof. She noticed two guardsmen guarding the event that was occurring and ran towards them, punching one and hitting one with the barrel of her sniper rifle, and pushing her off of the roof with much strength. She leaned over and looked down.

"Tch."

She turned around and looked around her surroundings to see if there were any authorities around. Smirking, she noticed none and placed a venom mine next to her position just in case and tied a rope around a pole tightly. She grabbed the rope and tied it around her waist.

Feeling it tight, she grabbed her sniper and sat on the edge of the apartment building. She then leaned back and fell off of the edge and was hanging on the side. She hanged upside down and grinned as she brought the sniper closer to her and looked through the scope. "Almost there..." She whispered as she watched her target getting closer to her aim.

Her target was now in her aim and at that point, she watched the man give out his speech to his followers and saw guardsmen walk everywhere. She was amused of how they didn't notice her, but she was a distance away from him so it'll be hard to catch her in the moment. (Y/N) licked her lips and decided to pull the trigger.

A large bang echoed through the area and was once a loud speech was, now a quiet one. Her target fell back and was now lifeless as her shot was a perfect shot. Hearing screams of horror and panic, the woman saw that now was a perfect time to make her leave. And so, she pulled herself up with the rope and hanged her sniper on her back and grabbed the stun grenade that she placed on the floor.

As she was making her leave, she glanced one more time at the scenery and smirked at her victory. Policemen were everywhere and were attempting to carry the man to the hospital in hopes of life. People ran everywhere, desperately trying to leave the area, but the horrifying moment that had just occurred still lingered in their minds.

"One shot. One kill." The woman said sharply before making her leave. She jumped from roof to roof. She noticed that one roof was far for her to make her jump and furrowed her eyebrows. She backed up and ran for it.

Successfully, she had a grasp on the roof and held onto it. She slid down the walls and jumped from the wall to the floor. As she made contact to the floor, she rolled and started run away from that area.

January 2, X791

The evening sun gleamed upon the guests who were watching the parade pass by. Cheers and shouts of laughter can be heard throughout the area. The parade was being held by the King and Queen of Light. The third element in the kingdoms. It was the Queen's birthday and instead of doing a Ball, they decided to do a big parade throughout the kingdom. Many citizens of the kingdom has gone to participate in this event for their love of their Queen, Victoria.

They had thanked her for her love, her safety, and her kindness, but little did they know their faces filled with happiness and glee were about to change for good.

A Lonely Girl walked past the crowds of people who were laughing and pushing around. The girl muttered curse words under her breath and gave an emotionless stare to the people in front of her. The people were utterly confused at why the girl looked so down, but shrugged it off and payed attention to the parade. They thought she was a citizen of the kingdom, just like her. But, they were wrong.

The girl turned to an alleyway, away from the citizens, and away from society. From her excellent hearing, she was alone. She looked up at the apartment and examined it. She grinned then started to drift away into a shadow as the light of the sun shined on her.

The queen, who sat on a parade float, sitting next to her husband, the king, was smiling and waving to her citizens. The prince of the kingdom smiled at everyone who was around. Her husband walked in front of her and walked down the stairs of the float. He made an announcement on the microphone. The Queen smiled as her Husband said sweet and nice things about her.

The cold woman from before, climbed up the wall of the building. She noticed that the building was a tall and large one. She went up higher and higher and finally reached the top. She crouched on the roof and leaned a bit to see the crowd in front of her. She gave a cold smirk and grabbed a little device from her belt. She placed it onto the ground and turned it on.

It was a handmade item made by her and was designed for only emergencies. But for this type of mission, she was surely to use it. She grabbed another device and placed it inside her clothing. The device made contact with her skin and was now stuck to it her chest. "Perfect..." She whispered before turning into a shadow.

The king noticed the smell and appearance of smoke pass by him and furrowed his eyebrows. How could his citizen not care for their queen since she was a bit old and was now delicate. How could they not notice the danger of smoking.

Behind him, he heard a fit of coughing and heard the chair fall. The King turned back to her and gasped, seeing that the Queen's eye were closed and that she had fallen off her chair. He ran to her in a streak of panic and slightly moved his wife to see if she was playing around, but she wasn't. He gasped in horror as he saw a pool of blood going through her turtleneck dress. He pulled down the turtle neck and screamed in horror. Her neck was badly bruised and slashed and blood was gushing out of her neck.

The woman who was behind this, floated to a nearby alleyway and got out of her shadow. She then pressed the device that was stuck on her chest and pressed on it. It blinked and in an instance, she was back to the rooftop of the apartment building she was once before. She leaned down to the event below and watched in amusement.

The citizens noticed what was going on a screamed. Their screams were rising to a crescendo. To the woman, it like an endless crescendo. The military were there evacuating the citizens and calming them down after the gruesome sight. An another group of the military was now roaming everywhere to at least find someone who was suspicious and looked who was behind the crime.

The woman closed her and leaned back. She was deciding in her head of what she was going to do. She then opened them, smiling and grabbed her items. She was going to play with them for a while.

Other royals who attended the parade were being escorted by the military. "Come on!" A young man yelled to his father who was in deep shock. His crimson red eyes was staring at the devastated king and looked up at his son. He said nothing and nodded, walking by him.

The young man looked up and saw a black shadowy figure escaping the scene. He stopped walking and narrowed his eyes on it and whispered, "I'm seeing things..."

"Rogue! Come on!"

The King, who is now in a terrible condition, looked at his Queen with tears in his Blue sky eyes. He promised to his Queen that he was find and slaughter the murder who had done this. The guard had patted the King's back and motioned him to move so the hospital could take the Queen. The King nodded and left this gruesome sight.

The Prince of the kingdom stared at his deceased mother in shock and in grief. He covered his face with his hands and silently cried to himself. How can he not spot the crime?, The prince wondered, He was right next to her.

The once shadowed young woman has now turned back into her physical form and smiled at what she has done. She saw the investigators investigate the crime scene and found a dagger nearby where the Queen was "Killed." They immediately called this scene an assassination.

The young woman then spotted a group of military men walking towards an alleyway and smirked, now knowing that she was going to make her move. She was still in a murderous mood.

She placed her hands onto her belt and took out two pistols equipped with a silencer. She then aimed for their heads and shot each and everyone of them.

She watch them fall to the floor lifeless and heard heavy footsteps from behind. She turned and there, she made eye contact with horrified men, staring at what she had done.

"IT'S HER!! GET HER!!"

Hearing the command, almost immediately, the military ran after her. She chuckled and started to run away from them.

"COME ON!! RUN FASTER!!"

She made a quick turn and with the military on her tail, turned the corner as well. They turned and found nothing. No sight of her, no trace of her, nothing. They had their guard up and looked around to see their surroundings.

"Come on now. She can't possibly disappear like that..."

They continued to roam around the alley and unknowingly, stepped on a trap she had payed moments before.

"Gotcha."

Toxic smoke came from the can, choking their lungs. They coughed, feeling their eyes starting to get watery. They tried to run out of the area, but with the toxic gas in their breaths, they couldn't cooperate. They fell to the ground and tried to stand on their feet, but couldn't.

"You don't have that much freedom. Your time is running out." A woman appeared in front of them. They stared at her from the ground in disbelief as she had no reaction to the gas.

"H-How?"

She turned towards them with a frown on her face and kneeled. Her sharp eyes met their horrid ones and said, "Thanks for
Being a bit misleading." She then rose onto her heels and turned walking away from them.
