Interlude – The Curtain Rises

Interlude – The Curtain Rises

Amy is a beautiful half elf half human girl with long blonde hair and blue eyes.

She was a future enemy of the game, but thanks to Razel who was her savior.

She managed to avoid that future of pain and suffering.

Now she lives happily as the self-proclaimed #1 woman.

A few days ago she received from her beloved a strange medicine.

It was from his fight against Squall, a boy who kidnapped Lily and wanted to sell her to the lawless city.

Razel doesn't know how those strange red pills he commandeered work, but he knows they are trouble.

That's why he asked Amy to investigate them so he can get to the bottom of this.

She was sitting in a big chair. Several documents with pictures and magical equipment to analyze their contents.

"How strange..." She said as her long hair touched her face.

With a free hand she removed it from her eyes to once again return to deciphering its mystery.

"It doesn't matter how I look at it. They're simple exercise pills."

"When you take them, you gain energy and a slight increase in magical power. But here's the strange thing..."

Amy held up a sample of the pills in liquid form.

"Everything is normal, but there is a small residue of something unknown."

She used magic to analyze it.

"It looks like the strange small material is..."

She opened her eyes at what he said.

"Blood?!"

"And it's black too!"

"But, blood turns black only upon death. Then why do the cells still seem to be alive?"

"To make things even stranger, the pills seem to be brewed and shipped from the lawless city. Exactly what are they doing there?"

It was night in a city where red lights illuminate the streets.

In a dark room where only moonlight comes in.

He grabbed a girl with blonde hair.

"No... please let me go..."

The man was examining her, as if looking at a half-cooked steak.

"How she looks. Gerhardt-sama?"

After analyzing it a lot, the man said.

"Yes. It will do. After all..."

He opened his mouth slightly.

Suddenly, his canine teeth grew like a baby's finger.

"The blood of those without reaching puberty tastes better than a virgin."

The man... no, the correct thing would be to say the monster.

That monster that had a name.

He sunk his sharp lion-like teeth into the innocent girl.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! HURT! HURT! PLEASE STOP! MOMMY!"

The other children watched as their friend was bitten, small flecks of blood falling to the floor.

In the few seconds that passed, they watched their friend drying off.

Her silky white skin was shriveling like a raisin.

Her blonde hair was turning gray like that of an old woman.

Her eye sockets were deflating like balloons.

In less than a minute, the girl stopped moving.

Once the man finished eating, he tossed the girl aside as if she were a dirty old rag.

Her lips were red.

"Delicious, is what I, the Night King of the lawless city, must taste."

He grabbed another child, cries of distress and pain could be heard high up in a tower that seemed to reach to the sky.

This place was the famous lawless city, known to its inhabitants as the real hell on earth.

A place that Razel, sooner or later, will have to come to put an end to the evil that lies in these lands.
