Devil's Wish

All I could have seen was red - blood. It was the war between my two loved brothers. They hated each other and wanted to rule the world. One was - Moon Tey, and the other - Silver Tey. They once were best friends, but now became enemies!

They said that everyone needed to choose their sides, on which one to fight. But I was one of those, who didn't want to choose, so I technically became stray kiddo. My family got separated to two sides and their armies as well, everyone in cities had to choose as well, otherwise they'll lose everything they have. That's how the country got crazy... Everyone started to fight between and act so angry and so...betrayed.

But there were people who dared to bot to choose and started living as 'hide and seek' game. They had to not get involved into misunderstandings, and they had to hide from others, if wanted to survive in the cruel world. I was one of them. Since I was a child 12 years old, some people who were like tiny moving village took care of me. They'd often wouldn't have food but tried their best to smile all the time around kids and other people. They as well made an underground village for everyone. As long as kingdoms' leaders: Moon Tey and Silver Tey would not know, people will be safe...

There were very few legends of other people getting caught and killed, some of them cruel death. It would depend on the crime, leader and mostly leaders' mood.

One legend say: There was once a family, they were very greedy but didn't show it publicly. They had three kids: two boys and daughter. Their own opinions were different, so was their dreams. Boys wanted to have world for them and then they'd share it together and make world a better place. Then there was a girl. She was simple enough to just want to be with her family... But everyone was too busy. So she wanted to help them. But accidentally spilled some potion in their drinks, it made them go crazy, and in the end they started to kill everyone little by little. That's how they got their names 'Demons'. Actually then they had huge fight between and got annoyed of each other, so they separated... And that's how things were going horribly wrong since then...

Because of this famous legend people started hating the girl... But since I am her, I know that it's clearly lie... I know what had happened. But I would not dare telling it. Because they wouldn't get me right and would call me names... The truth was that the girl was very close to Moon Tey and distant to Silver Tey, because he was not a good big brother mostly. And Moon Tey, he lost his mind after one accident, he lost not only that, but also memories. So parents could have told him lots of lies and he'd believe it all.

B****ut the saddest part of the story is that no one who ever was by the little girl's side, was ever found alive. They've been found dead or lost part of themselves because of others... That's how the girl started getting worse and worse...

...But then there were good people around her. So they took care of her. That's how she got new dream. To get stronger and help loved ones. It might seem hard, but apparently her family was big enough to know how to fight in the cruel world......

*That's how she started her own journey.

...****************...

...After 5 years*...

...****************...

Couple of people at the underground village's house:

- Happy 17th birthday, Eleonora! We all came here just for you. For your fight spirit and a long way journey! - they all wished her happy birthday and pointed at the cake nearby. - We've baked it specially for you. And of course we have you a gift.

- Aaw, thank you so much! But guys, I know it's so expensive! We should save a bit...- I said.

- Eleonora, we've been waiting for this day, so we saved up a little. You shouldn't worry that much about things, - aunt said with relief. Her voice was always so soft and it was also a caring voice.

- Well, I agree on that one, haha, - I said. - I appreciate you so much!

Then we heard a loud noise. It was like earthquake. But it was way too sudden for earthquake. It was a fire and shots! It was an attack... I was so afraid of this day to come, but I always knew it will come someday... That was shock. We quickly started the plan B. Plan B was the plan made by the government if there would ever be a war warning. It was showed and explained to everyone, starting from toddlers to adults and old people.

I was about to go when uncle cached me. He wanted to give me a birthday gift. He took my hand and putted something long and heavy in it, and said:

-I always knew this day would come. Just so you did. So I have prepared you, my daughter, this katana. It was a long-lost treasure of a king - your father. I've found it with you, but since you were just a kid, I started to go to forgers to upgrade this weapon. It is made only for you, for heart of brave. - Then it was such moment, when I knew that I might never see them again so... I hugged them tight. The might last time...

...----------------...

I took katana with me and started walking towards danger. My new family was always teaching us fighting skills and tactics. At school, we've got most experienced teachers there was on the underground village.

I had experience from my childhood, when once I was attacked. The killer was an adult and wanted the food I had. So I've fought till I got rid of him…

Now I don't know yet which one is attacking, but I will go fight with them and go fight with one of my brothers. One still would be able to remember me and then other one wouldn't.

So now I was walking and slaying enemies with newborn katana. By the plan we should leave if there's any danger, and others go fighting, who just can.

Now I was going so well, when my katana got hit by other professional...

I looked into their eyes and my heart stopped. It was no other than my loved brother. He was fighting here, killing good people just for glory. He looked at me for a second and then grinned. Moon Tey became someone else. He's not the same... He has changed, hard. But somehow I saw that emptiness in his eyes. It looked familiar. I have known him the best, and I know there should be his kind heart as it was, I couldn't handle anymore, I said:

- ****You can't be like one of them! You are way better. You would never have raised a sword to a good person...you would have always helped to them. I can not watch you turn into a monster anymore****...- for a moment it seemed he thought about what I said. And stopped. He stood there and laughed.

- You think I'm better? You think so low of others? How can you say that? You do not even know me, so don't get lost too soon. I am the king here and I wanna rule everywhere! Everybody! - he stopped grinning and pointed to people around.

I could have seen how they die, how they suffer, the people I know and he said:

- You all chose death, that's your decision. Now just watch how I will kill everyone. How I will let them suffer after that. And all that's going to be left is - blood.

Now I was heartbroken, because it was true. We all will die even if not now. He won't let us live anymore after we'd run away. I have already seen those hatred eyes earlier... They won't leave my memory.

He suddenly kicked me and I almost lost my balance, but did not fall. We continued fighting. His sword was made by a special royalty family's forger. It had strong poison as well, so I must be careful. The venom is hard to get rid of, specially when you don't know what venom is there.

...----------------...

I also was wearing a mask, so no one out there would not notice her. Because she was like a dog's 5th leg for royalty family, they wanted to get rid of her.

...----------------...

A single tear dropped on her cheeks while knowing whole true. I missed my brothers and their warmness. But I didn't want to come to a killers' family anymore. Just as in the past.

I was about to use a secret technique, when he got me laying on the ground with sword by my throat. I didn't give up, I suddenly used it, so that I'd be able to get rid of his armor and shield.

He seemed to be surprised. But then just grinned again and started attacking.

While he was thinking :" Wait, this technique, it is only possible to use this thirsty blood' technique for royalty families members'. How is it possible?"
