237 Asking for directions (1/2)
An old man was walking down a road while coming closer to the gates of a city carrying a bag on his back.
His curly grey beard and mustache were so long that it was near impossible to see his mouth under it. While his body was old, with one look one could spot several muscles under its clothes.
”Excuse me, my young lads...” the old man asked while reaching the front gate and gazing at a pair of knights guarding the entrance, ”Is this the city where the temple of the West goddess is located...?”
”Indeed it is, sir... Can we help you?” one of the guards replied while holding a sword with both hands and stabbing the ground.
”Ah! I see... I'm glad... That means I'm in the right place...”
The two guards just stood there while the old man continued to smile at them while carrying his heavy-looking bag.
”Sir...?”
”Yes, young lad?”
”Are you going to enter?”
”Enter what...?”
”... The city...?”
”Oh... Why would I want to enter this city?”
”Are you not looking for the temple of the west?”
”Oh!! Yes, I am! Is it here?”
”... ... ... Yes...”
”Oh, good! I was looking for it! You mind if I come in?”
”We can't let you enter without identification, sir...”
”Oh... I see... Identification... Yes, yes... It is important to know who people are these days... Names are important...” The old man replied.
He then stepped forth and raised his arm to aim it at one of the guards. The two kept looking as his hand began to turn red and claws started to appear in it.
”Wha- What the hell!!?? A demon!!” the guard shouted.
”Allow me to introduce myself...” The old man commented while his arm continued to grow and proceeded to stab that guard's torso.
”Ughaaaa!!!” the guard mumbled as life vanished from his twitching body
”I'm the demon dragon of wrath!”
”Tyler!!!! Noooo!!!!” his partner screamed, ”You will pay for this!!!”
”Oh!! Such sweet, sweet anger, you're letting out!! Much appreciated!!”
The soldier tried to pierce the old man with his sword, but Wrath just used the dead body of the soldier in his claw to smack him against the ground.
”Now...” he whispered while locking the knight under the body of his fallen comrade, ”Could you please tell me where the temple of the West is?”
Part 2
Wrath continued to navigate through the city while still trying to find the location of the temple. Each time he forgot what the direction was he would grab one of the citizens with his red claw and ask them for information while completely terrorizing them.
”Excuse me... Could you tell me where the temple of the West is?”
”D- Don't kill me!! Please!! It's down this street!!”
”Oh! Thank you!! Also, one more thing... Could you tell me where the temple of the West is?”
”Oh... I see, I see... One more thing, could you tell me where the temple-”
”For the love of God!! Is right there!! Just walk down this road!!”
”Aahh... Thank you for the sweet anger...” Wrath commented while bitting the citizen's head off, ”It tasted great!”
He then released the body to continue on his walk.
”Now then... Where could this temple possibly be...?”
As the old man returned to his walk he noticed his shadow growing on the ground. He looked up out of curiosity and noticed a massive golden energy shield dropping from the sky towards him.
”Oh, dear...”
The massive shield squashed him completely and created a hole in the middle of the city. Nearby houses were grabbed by the force of the impact and started to crumble on top of him as well.
Once the smoke was gone he simply stood up while rubbing his head and cleaning the dust off his clothes, ”Now then... Where could this temple possibly be...?”
He exited the crater that the shield had placed him in but found himself stopped by four golden energy walls locking his movement.
”Oh dear...” he whispered while touching the barriers gently and feeling the energy repelling him.
