Be My Daughter
The Dark Knight... have you ever heard such story as that...?
The Dark Knight are a creed, they're evil to the point where they kill their own families, they are actually warrior of the goods, but was turned to the dark.
Dark Knight creed is created by the strong Knight, it was created for the strong, to gather all the strong Knight.
All the dark Knight mustn't reveal their identity to others people, even their own creed must not known their face, they are aren't friends, they will hunt each other for money, that how evil they are.
So they used fake name, their name will resemble their armor, so this stories will be goes for the dark knight with nicknames of crows...
Crow have been accepted a request from a king, he was supposed to destroy useless village that needed the king help.
The request was, to burn the village alive with their citizen.
Crow was the only Dark Knight on that mission, even so the king sent their Knight to help crow destroy the village, so others village will thought that was rebellion from Dark Knight, not from the king himself.
There crow found a citizen that running away with her daughter, a mother, and a little girl, crow is riding a horse, the mother saw crow and feel scared to the point she pushed her own child to the ground, when crow saw that, he ignored the child, and kill the mother in front of the girl.
Crow goes down from his horse back, and walk to the girl.
Crow keep approaching the girl, and he said, "What a pitiful girl you are, you left by your useless mother because scared of me...?" The way crow pose and walking making the girl scared, so the girl move back, slowly and slowly.
"You seems... scared." said the girl, and then crow laughed, "Why... am I supposed, to be scared by... a frail young girl, can you mind to explain...?" He said that while laughing and smilling, the girl can see crow mouth is smilling, but couldn't see his face, it all dark there.
"If you weren't scared then... why didn't you kill me already." There silence between them, and then crow touched the girl head with his left hand, because he holding a long spear in his right hand.
"Aren't you the one that scared...?" Crow voice isn't like a human voice, the sound like a broken tape recording.
"N-no... I'm not, if I show my weakness to the enemy, I will end up dead, that what my long dead father says..."
The dark knight that named after crow, doesn't think of anything, he was just testing the girl, and then murder her, but...
He have some ridiculous thoughts in his own head, and then he laughed again.
"Be my daughter, I will take care of you." says the dark knight named crow.
But beside the dark Knight, there also a normal Knight that was looking at crow, and he said, "Are you crazy?! crow, you're the dark Knight, are you insane going to adopt her...?" and then crow stand up, and look at the Knight direction and he say, "I will adopt her, you say am I insane...? from the beginning, whoever joined the dark knight creed are not sane at all."
But it seems the Knight disagree, "Crow look, what about the reputation of the dark knight?! you will be hunted by the other dark Knight immediately, and you know it right?" and then crow hold the girl in his left hand and put it on his shoulder, "I don't care about my own reputation or their."
"You don't even know how to raise a kids, look you're evil crow." and then crow ride his horse, and said to the knignt, "Yes, I am bad, but I will raise the girl, unlike how bad her mother raise her."
Thus the horse start running, the girl is now sitting in front of him, when he controlling the horse, he also took some wood stick from his own bags in the horse, he fired up the stick with fire magic, and throw it to house, and also goes the same to the others knight, "Let go back to the camp, follow my lead!" says crow while the other following his back.
The dark Knight must be thinking of his own acting while controlling his horse, in his head why did he do such a thing like adopting a girl...?
Did he took it as a challenge for the other dark Knight to come at him? or maybe...
It was just a relief of guilt of his own past, after all, no human are born evil, he must be still have goods in him, or maybe he really didn't want to save her...?
They all arrived at the camp, after that crow and the girl goes inside his own tent, of course all the Knight looking at that direction and thinking about why did he do such a thing...?
Crow gave the kid a water drink, and the girl took it, after that crow preparing some dishes for the girl to eat.
The girl asked why, but no answer from him, and then she asked again, "Who are you...?" There slience between them, but crow still preparing the meal, and then gave it to her, and he said, "Who am I... I'm your step-father now, it doesn't matter who am I, or what am i." and the girl took the dish and doesn't give crow more question, because she knew, crow won't answer it.
Night time have come, so some of them sleep, and some of them awake to guard the camp.
After day time comes, all the Knight including the dark Knight crow, continue their journey back to the kingdom, when they arrived, the Knight goes first to the castle.
Meanwhile crow go into an inn bar, and place the girl there alone, "Wait... for me." says crow with weird voice, the girl feel very uneasy leaved alone, especially a place like inn, "D-Dad... don't leave me." said the girl, crow doesn't seems to confused, the girl thought if she called him dad, it would make him take her with him.
But instead, crow just silence, and walk away to the king, to get his reward after murdering the villager.
