CubeBuilders Arising (Part 5 - ...)

The scraping of flint and steel broke the silence in the village ruins. The sparks of the two materials scraping against one another lit a cigarette, in the mouth of a hooded man, looking quite ominous; and seemingly plotting something.

Another pair of men came from the ruins of the blacksmith.

"Theres nothing left, sir. All they left was some useless old wooden tools." One of the men reported, his voice slightly scratchy and rough. The first man with the cigarette threw his flint and steel down the gravel path. He punched the other man dead in the face, letting him be caught by his buddy.

"Idiots! My orders were strict and clear! Burn the village, kill the inhabitants, and steal everything! Why cant you follow the simplest orders?!"

"Its not entirely our faults sir; those monsters were closing in on the village because of the fire. Too many of them, too little of us. Its simple math, sir."

The leader snorted. He crossed his arms, his black trench coat blowing in the wind. He took his cigarette out of his mouth, gaining a smirk, and chuckling. The other pair of men laughed nervously with him.

"Brandon, Skander, was it true? That those people were rescued by some people?" He said, looking up, his diamond-blue eyes sparking with interest.

"Y-Yes... A woman, to be exact. Full diamond armour, diamond tools and other loot, riding on a horse. She put out the fires and killed ALL the monsters there was; without a single scratch."

"Not a single drop of blood she shed?"

"Not. One. Drop."

The leader grinned and laughed. "Well, I must say, thats quite impressive. She might make a nice addition to our little family..." The two lackeys went silent. But, the one claimed "Skander" spoke up. "Uh... how so, sir?"

"As our next meal."

The three men began to laugh manically. The leader pulled down his hood, flicking his cigarette into the burnt grass. His menacing diamond eyes filled with blood lust. His Templar-styled armor added to his look of strength; and mischief.

"What direction did the survivors follow that girl, Brandon?" He asked, looking ahead to the fields surrounding the mountains. "Uh, East, sir. Towards the sea." He answered.

The leader of the two men smirked, unsheathing his diamond blade. "Hehehe... Perfect. Boys..." The two men came to attention. "...Its dinner time."

The two men smirked and pulled their weapons out, looking down the shores of the ocean.

"Yes, your Majesty Lukevillani."

oh the tragity!!!
