Attack on the village
*Huntress of the Village, Sylvia*
Lately I have been having weird dreams late at night. Some about a girl living her life in a village similar to me. In some of those dreams she was older(I judged from her voice becoming more mature) she ruled as the leader of demons, waging wars on the nations who go against them.
Everytime I see those dreams I felt nostalgic like I was there myself as if those were my memories and things I did in the past. It also feels somewhat familiar like I heard them in stories before.
Anyway enough of that I should focus on this book Im reading. Since young I liked to read stories about heroes and other historical figures like the Immortal Phoenix Empress and the Devil Sovereign. I also read about the legends who came from the Kuro Clan and other various people.
I am currently reading about a woman who came from Nightmare Palace. People called her the Silver Nightmare, Elizabeth Shadowheart. She gone down in history as one of the legendary and most skilled assassins of her time.
The book recorded her historical achievements and her life back before she became the legend she is.
After reading in the library I prepared to head home after finishing the book I was reading. I then said my farewell to the librarian whom I got to befriend as I mostly come here in my day-offs.
After heading out the library I heard a huge noise coming from the distance many people were seen running and yelling.
"Everyone run!! The empire is invading!"
"Run!!!!"
I then saw soldiers entering the village, pillaging and killing everyone they see. The villagers are running away for their lives.
As I was looking the librarian came up to me.
"What are doing we need to run!!"
We then ran away in the other direction but as I was worried for my family I head to our house.
"Where are you going?! We need to run!"
"Go on without me I want to check on my family as my house is quite far they might have not noticed the attack."
After saying that I quickly ran towards our house in fear and to save them.
After arriving at my house I saw my family preparing to escape it seems they known about what happened.
"Sylvia what are you doing here we need to run now!"
Said my uncle who saw me coming toward them after talking to him briefly I then head to my room and I took my sword bow and arrows as means of self protection from my room and quickly joined with them.
"Lets go!"
Said my Father we then head towards the forest to hide from the soldiers attacking the village.
As we were walking I suddenly heard the footsteps of horses I then looked and saw soldiers heading towards here.
"F*ck!" (Father)
Exclaimed my father I then saw my uncles looking grim and gritting their teeth.
"Everyone head to the forest we will delay them at all cost!"
My father said as he and my 3 uncles prepare to fight the soldiers.
When I heard this I burst out in tears I knew that if they fought it would be certain death.
"Father dont!"
"Im sorry Sylvia."
Said my Father with tears on his face he then turned to my oldest brother.
"Adrian, lead our family out of here bring Sylvia even if you have to drag her away."
"Yes Father"
Said my oldest brother with a tears strained face of sadness. I saw him gripping his fist strongly.
"Sylvia Lets go."
He said as he brought me away pulling me.
"Brother but father and the uncles."
"Dont waste their sacrifice lets go!"
With tears on my eyes I looked away and ran with my family, not daring to look back.
I then heard sounds of fighting with swords clashing towards each other.
Subconsciously I turned my head and look behind me I then saw the soldiers laughing as they kill my family
"Father!"
"Dont look back Sylvia, keep running and dont turn back!"
I heard my Father voice from the distance as I saw him get stabbed by a spear in his chest.
"So thats your daughter huh looks pretty nice dont worry were gonna take good care of her!"
I heard the soldier voice as he stabs my father I then saw how lewd his eyes looked when he looked at me.
We then arrived at the forest there are currently 13 family of us here. My mother two older brother, my three aunts, and my three cousin one girl and two boys.
We once again heard the sounds of horses coming towards here.
"Sh*t it seems they are coming after us."
"Aidan take care of my sister,mother, aunts."
Said my older brother towards my second brother.
"Take care of them, Aidan."
"Mom Im sorry."
My two older male cousins also said their words as they unsheathe their swords preparing to fight to gain us time.
"Brother, Lyle and Kyle"
I called out their names in tears and said our goodbyes
"Now go we will do our best to hold them off."
My second older brother nods his head as he leads us deeper into the forest.
Behind us we heard sounds of fighting once more. We saw two horsemen coming towards us my mother and everyone else unsheathe their swords as a family of hunter everyone of us knows how to fight and hunt.
We then fought while running away from them.
" surrender now. Dont worry we will take good care of you."
Said a soldier as they look at us with lewd gazes.
"Go to hell!"
My mother then stabbed towards a sword towards a soldiers neck as they tried to take her down.
We then ran with all our might each of my family slained one after the other in an attempt to run away.
I was separated from them amidst.
Finally I was the last one in the family running away.
I then heard soldiers behind me as I ran forward I saw an ancient ruined fortress and in an attempt to hide from the soldier I hid inside it.
Inside the ruins I felt something calling for me. I looked around and saw a stair heading downwards I saw many skeletons in the rubble it seems they died a long time ago.
The feeling became stronger as I head downstairs upon heading downstairs once again seeing more bones and a door in the far back. I felt the feeling stronger towards the door and entered it.
Upon entering I felt the feeling more stronger than before looking around I saw an ancient throne in front of it was a long table on the walls for torn and dusty flags with a symbol on it. it seems this is the meeting room.
In the wall at the far back I saw ancient inscriptions it looked like some of ancient characters in magic I once saw in a book. The feeling was coming from here.
I then touched the mark in the middle and lost my consciousness.
