The Advent Of The End

Chapter 1: An unexpected turn

"Big sis, over here!!!" called by the voice again.

Slowly but surely, with some clumsiness, she finally reached the mountain's edge. Beyond the edge is overlooking the beautiful scenery of the village below. The townsfolk happily trading goods, a bit of gossip here in there, a man carrying logs to sell to the carpenters.

At the right was a big ocean, the sound of waves crashing beneath the rock was to be heard even miles away, while in the left was the stables and the barn for livestock.The town was also covered by a small wooden wall, with scouts armed with swords and bows incase of a sudden invasion of monsters and beasts alike. But, with the beautiful scenery and all, the boy was still not to be seen.

"You know what!" She stomped the ground. After tripping so much, she was ready to give up, irritated by her bad luck and all. She then sat at the nearest log to rest just for a bit.

"I'm going down ahead, if you want to..." Then, something poked her cheek. A truffle.

She then turned around to see a filthy boy carrying a variety of fruits and vegetables at his basket, carrying from his left arm, while a truffle is poking her right cheek.

"Look" He moved his face closer, doing a serious stare "A truffle".

The girl was speechless and suddenly bursts out of laughter, while hiding her wounds. Instead of getting surprised and scared, she just laughed and laughed while the boy is confused about the current situation, as he thought he scared her. After laughing, the girl then cried and hugged the boy.

"Don't ever do that again! Or else I'm never gonna serve your favorite food ever again!" She pouted

"EHHHHHHHHHHHH" The boy then begged for forgiveness. "ANYTHING BUT THAT, CHEESE IS WHAT MAKES ME LIVE! CHEESE IS MY BLOOD, MY SOU...."

"Yes, yes" She clapped, stood up, and grabbed the boy's hand and started to head down the mountain "Then, let's go down before the sun sets, as you know what they say"

"The monsters shows up at night" Said the boy in a frightened voice.

"And you know what they do to bad children?"

"What?"

She stopped, lowered herself to the boy's height and made a slashing gesture using her hands as claws.

"They eat them" Said in a forced, scary voice.

The boy fainted.

"Well, serves you right!" She shouted

>:T

After coming down the mountain, they headed towards a secluded cabin not to far from the village. She opened the door and placed the ingredients they gathered for today and also ushered the boy to sit at a nearby chair to wait.

"Big sis" Called the boy

"Yes, Evan?"

"Why don't we live down at the village just like the rest of the villagers there?"

The woman still continued arranging the ingredients for tonight's dinner. The boy then stood up and pulled the woman's dress.

"Hey, big sis"

The woman, just finished preparing the ingredients, then stopped and turned around, lowered herself to a almost sitting position to match the boy's height. She then patted his head

"You've already asked me that so many times, but the answer is the same" She lightly kissed his right cheek then looked at him again "It's much more safe here than staying at the village."
