Aron was heading in direction of the city, it was pretty far from the village and it will take him at least two weeks to get there.Meantime in the village.
Rose was sitting on her bed and still couldn"t believe that weak-willed boy changed into a reliable person and then became a monster that was murdering people.
"I don"t understand... I shouldn"t help him then... It"s my fault that he killed these people. I created this monster! It"s all my fault!" She was blaming herself, while her father came in and said.
"It"s not your fault. This boy didn"t belong to our village in the first place. His nature would come out sooner or later. Only regret that we didn"t see this earlier. Maybe these people wouldn"t die!"
Her father became the new chief as Roger didn"t want to take care of it and there was none with enough support in the village.
A few days later.
It was another day, Rose woke up and started her usual routine. Most of her thoughts were concentrated on past events. Suddenly, she heard the sound of hooves and her father shouted.
"Don"t come out of the house!" He was worried, and she didn"t see him like this, so she did as he said.
Casper left and house raiders entered the village. When they saw, him one of them said.
"We are Black-wind Bandits, and we came for protection fees." He was arrogant and Casper didn"t know how to react on such person.
"I am the village chief. This village cannot give much. We had bad times recently, the many people died."
He tried to persuade them, yet man smirked and said.
"We will check this ourselves!" He signaled people to start plundering the village.
"No..." Before he finished, one of the bandits shoots him with cut off his head with a sword.
"He was annoying!"
They killed, raped and plundered everything. When Rose heard the screams, she was scared and remained hidden.
BANG! One of the bandits destroyed doors and entered the hut. Rose squeaked and he heard her.
"WOMAN! HAHA! Guess who is lucky today!" He spotted Rose hideout and started approaching her.
"Leave me, alone! LEAVE ME ALONE! MY FATHER WILL COME AND KILL YOU!" She was desperately shouting yet man didn"t stop.
"Soon, all villagers will be dead. So you "father" is probably lying dead somewhere already! Stop resisting and come! I will make you true woman!"
"NOO!!! MY FATHER WILL SAVE ME!" It was the last scream before something inside of her snapped. Her eyes became empty.
Her body started to release vapor, the temperature in the room started to rise.
"GIRL, YOU ARE HOT!" Said bandit with l.u.s.t all over his place.
BOOM! Her body exploded with fire. Her eyes started to burn and the entire body was covered with flames.
"Burn, you piece of dirt." She said with emotionless voice and turned the man into ashes with a fireball.
She left the hut and saw the body of her father.
"It"s okay, father! I will turn all of them in ashes! Including this b.a.s.t.a.r.d, ARON!" She exploded with fury and started burning bandits one by one.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT? YOU BEAST!?" One of the bandits said while screaming! She started burning, his body parts one by one. The man couldn"t withstand the pain and died in agony. Her face didn"t show any expression.
"Humans are weak. Little pain and they die..." She already lost her mind, the tortures were more like experiments on these people.
The last connection to the human world was fulfilling revenge on these people. It could be fast, yet a bit of humanity left inside of her desired them to die in the most painful possible way.
The leader of the bandits saw her, murdering one of his people after another, so he screamed to the rest to run for their lives. Some of these started running before the order, the vision of dying in monstrous girl was enough to abandon comrades and run for their lives.
"Why are you running?! STAY WITH ME!" Her voice was chilling, and they tried to accelerate even more. Their horses were already at the limits, fire, and smell of freshly burned corpses made them lose control.
She was chasing them, yet leader and few of bandit were lucky and escaped only with few burns on their bodies.
"You cannot escape from me! I WILL FIND YOU AND LET YOU FEEL MY WARMTH!"
She shouted to the sky as all of them were already far from her.
Rose was traveling and killing everyone on her way. Village after village, she searched for them and Aron.
"You don"t know where is Aron? You are useless. I don"t need you, so the world doesn"t need you either." Some faced easy death, others were experiments of her new powers.
The black wind bandits reached their base and from more than 20. There were only 5 left.
One of the base defenders asked.
"Where are the rest?" The sight of five people coming back from the simple robbery was weird. He noticed that their appearances are pitiful. Full of burns and most of them were still trembling.
The leader shouted to gather the rest of their forces.
"WE NEED TO LEAVE THIS AREA. PACK YOUR THING AND LEAVE." His voice was full of fear, he knew that if that beast came here. They won"t stand a chance, even if the position of the base was secret. However, there was always a way to find it. They were humans, and they had needs too, they couldn"t hide forever in one place. They left and headed into the direction of the city.
Aron was a few days from the city. He found a few new plants on his journey and trained his skill most of the time. His mind became calmer, the future ahead was more important than a few villagers. His mind focused on becoming stronger and getting more skills.
