The Thunder Of Vesper

1st scenario-

The wind blows. A tall figure can be seen standing at the edge of a hill. From up close she is a girl in her early twenties. She is wearing a long cape which is covering her head. Her blond hair flowing in the wind looks like the blazing sun. But her eyes are jet black. Looking her in the eyes will make someone feel like sinking in the endless depth of night sky. Those eyes are emotionless. She has pale-fair skin. Her hands are covered in bruises and dry blood. Her clothes are also soaked in blood. She looks mysterious yet “dangerous’’. All of a sudden, she says, “For how long do you plan to follow me?” as she throws her knife in the bushes behind her and turns that way, “Hmm?”. Then another figure emerges out of the bushes holding and limping one of his legs as blood can be seen dripping from his wounded leg. “You crazy brat!! How dare you stab me with your knife?!” he shouts. “Then do you expect me to warmly welcome your presence?” she says mockingly. “Don’t talk back to me! Ugh!” he grunts in pain and says, “I swear, I’ll kill you!”. “It’s useless to dream of something that you can never achieve” she says as she takes some steps towards him. “H-hey! Don’t come near me!” he shouts as he attempts to back away but he ends up falling in the ground thanks to his injured leg. She pays no heed to his pleas and stops just a few inches away from him. She presses in his wound by her leg and grabs him by his mouth as she speaks lowering her voice slightly, “Do you want to….‘live’?”. “YES!” he shouts, “Please let me live!”. He begs for his life as he shakes from the pain of her heels pressing in his wounds. She gazes at him coldly and finally says, “Then go to your master and tell him to stop doing these annoying useless things unless he wants to end up like ‘HIM’.” “A-Alright! But who is that ‘HIM’?” he asks timidly. “Your master will understand what I said. Just pass these words to him. So, if you want to live, then SCRAM before I change my mind.” She answers raising her voice. As soon as that man hears this he gathers all the strength that are left in him and runs for his life while limping in one leg. After some time his figure becomes small and soon he disappears from sight. Wind blows even faster and the sound of thunder can be heard from the afar. “Looks like a storm will come…” she mumbles and stares at the glimpse of some dark clouds in the great distance. She sighs.

Later that day in an alley a bunch of people gossiping can be seen. “Ugh! Where is this awful stench coming from?” one of the peasants says. “I know right! There’s some really bad smell coming from somewhere. It smells worse than a rotten rat’s.’’ says another man. A sudden scream of a woman takes all of their attention that way towards a bunch of rubbish. A human finger can be seen laying beside a pile of rubbish. As people require what happened she cries and replies, “I was on my way to throw my rubbishes out here. But-but that-” she can’t finish her sentence and trembles in fear. At that time, rain drops starts pouring. The sound of rain and uproar of people gets mixed as water washes away dark red liquids from the rubbishes.
