Star had let down his guard only for a split second, just as he was about to get himself a human shield.
He was suddenly lifted off the ground.
"Huhh?"
Feet rising above the cold ground, Star was momentarily stunned.
He didn't take him long for him to understand what was happening.
Someone had grabbed a hold of him, with that, he made a guess.
'someone is trying to use me as a meat shield.'
DAMMIT!
His sweaty torn brown clothes fluttered in the air as he was spun.
His gaze met the sky for a fraction of a second before he was...
THROWN.
He flew in the air.
His front facing his assailant.
*Growl*
*Growl*
The growl of the demonic wolf grew louder the more sailed in the air.
Star took a peek at his assailant.
The assailant was a slave.
A huge bulky slave!
The slave had no hair on his head.
Completely bald!
A wide scar that ran right through his right cheek, his left ear also missing.
Star saw the slave retract his arms from the air and he spun as he made a run for it while Star was still suspended in mid air, heading towards the annihilating maw of a Demon.
He stared expressionlessly at the slave.
'sigh, is this how am going to die?'
Star felt no hatred towards the slave.
He was not angered by the fact that he was used as a human shield, no...that would be stupid.
In a world where kindness gets you killed
One had to improvise.
A single moment of hesitation can get you killed. One must do all he can to survive.
Only a fool would would offer himself off to the mass.
His only regret was...
"If only I was stronger."
Strength.
That was what he lacked, if he had been big or bigger and bulky than the slave this wouldn't have happened.
Infact if he had been powerful, he wouldn't have been a slave in the first place. It was because he weak, far too weak.
That's why he was a slave.
That's why he could be controlled by people.
That's why he could be thrown to his death.
That's why he feared the demonic creature's maw.
His life was miserable and pathetic. A typical life of a pitiful slave.
As he was about to land, he managed to covered up his head with his two hands.
Everything happened so fast!
One second he was running on the ground, the next second, he was sent flying in the air.
He had only let down his guard for a second, when he made a split second decision to get himself a meat shield.
But instead of getting himself a meat shield.
He ended up becoming the meat shield.
He didn't get a chance to react, he was completely overpowered by the assailant.
Crash!
Star rolled and slided over the ground.
"Aarrgh!"
His breath haggard and body bleeding, he looked up at the side, he saw the demonic wolf roaring and growling at his side. And then something happened that surprised him.
The wolf didn't attack him, it ran pass him.
Star saw the demonic wolf jump off of the ground into the air and then land.
The demonic wolf looked almost gigantic compared to Star's small frame, he was seriously small. To the point that he could easily be used as a dodge ball.
"Ack... Ack... Ack..."
Star rise up when another demonic wolf..
Ran pass him.
*Blink*
He blinked.
"Hehehehe."
Still lying flat on the cold ground.
He grinned.
'has heaven actually taken pity upon my pitiful soul, hehehe, otherwise with my terrible luck how could I escape the attention of two demonic wolves.'
Slowly rising, he got on his two feet and strode off at a corner.
Huff!
Huff!
Huff!
He walked unsteadily on his shaky legs, barely managing to keep himself upright.
*Stump*
*Stump*
His legs shook as he walked, it made him stumble and almost fall off his feet many times.
"Aaahhh...!!!"
"Help me!! Help me!!..."
"No! No! No!..."
The dense smell of blood permeated the air, the sound of footsteps and cries echoed everywhere.
Few drops of sweat trickled down Star's forehead, the whole mountain was still chaotic and people were scrambling everywhere.
Fear gripped everyone's heart to the point he could even taste it.
He kept walking, he felt extremely lucky that he had managed to survive up until this point.
Especially after the attempt of turning him into meat shield against two demonic wolves.
What were the odds.
'maybe I might get lucky and manage my escape.' Star thought.
He was not actually going to depend on luck of course.
Using luck against demons, that was be beyond stupid.
Star was already approaching a cliff, drawing closer and closer, he was only 4 feet away when a paw suddenly sprung up from under the cliff.
Stunned, he slowly began moving backwards. When the demonic wolf face was about to approach the surface, he spun and ran.
Well, at least he wanted to before his face was covered in complete darkness, no, he saw a few spots of white.
SSSNNNAAAAAPPPP!!!!
Star face was caved in and chopped off.
Thud!
His body fell hardly on cold ground, not moving.
That was when a 17 years old boy.
Star of Ombri.
DIED.
