A TALL slender white-haired girl was walking the ruin plains of a country as countless neighbors lay under her feet, a much rather exquisite sight for anyone to see.
The way she walk and the atmosphere surrounding her was enough to make the rest of the neighbors retreat and knew that danger itself has manifested in that girl, who held two katana's in her hand drenched in their blood.
Screams and shouts echoed across the air as multiple buildings burn, fire spreading across their houses and business while they ran for their lives.
And it's all because of one girl.
"Ενα τέρας! Είναι ένα τέρας!" One of them said in their language as they ran as far as they can.
{trans: A monster! She's a monster!}
The girl heard this a let out a sinister smile, before disappearing from where she stood and reappearing in front of the neighbor who spoke such words.
"Αν είμαι τέρας, τι σε κάνει να διαφέρεις από εμένα?" She answered as she raises her katana and slashed the neighbor before they could even answer.
{trans: If I am a monster, what makes you different from me?}
All witnesses on the scene where dumbfounded and scared of her, fleeing on different directions as they try to save their own lives, leaving their own blood behind to save themselves.
This made the girl laugh sarcastically.
"Όλοι μας είμαστε ίδιοι. Είναι αστείο πόσο εγωιστές είμαστε."
{trans: We are all the same. It's funny how selfish we are.}
After she said that, as if time seem to stop, the neighbors all froze in their places as they fell one by one, headless and lifeless.
The blood on her was forgotten, drenching her as her once white hair was red.
She was unfazed by how much trion she had used nor what method she had to do in order to survive, she didn't even care if these neighbors have families or loved ones.
She doesn't care. She have neither of those.
The girl then placed her katana back to its sheath and stared at the place with dead neighbors around her, seeing that no one was alive after her assault.
She smiled and brushed her hair, the blood staining her hands even more as her red eyes glowed, the same color as the blood that covered her.
"μαμά?"
{trans: Mama?}
The small voice coming from somewhere broke the girl's thoughts as she turned her head to where it came from, only to see a small humanoid-like near a corpse of a neighbor.
What is surprising is that it called that creature 'mama'.
The girl stared at the humanoid neighbor for a moment, frozen in her place as she watch how the little humanoid child neighbor tap the dead adult neighbor on its cheek.
"Μαμά? Κοιμάσαι?"
{trans: Mama? Are you sleeping?}
The girl slowly looked at the neighbor she killed and saw that it was holding something in its last dying breathe, she can't see what it was but it looks like it was paper.
"Μαμά? Κουράστηκες πάλι?"
{trans: Mama? Are you tired again?}
That made the girl snap out and decided to walk towards the child neighbor, crouching down as she looked worriedly at her dead mother; the killer just near her.
The girl slowly walked over to her, stopping mere inches away as she places her katana on the ground, kneeling next to the child creature.
"Αυτή είναι η μαμά σου?"
{trans: Is this your mama?}
The humanoid child nodded and turned her head towards her, the child's horns visible on the side of its head; almost like a goat's horn but larger.
"Ναί."
{trans: Yes.}
The girl smiled at her and places a hand on top of the child's head, the blood on her hand has dried so it didn't transfer on the hair of the humanoid child neighbor.
"Είσαι πολύ νέος για να το δεις αυτό."
{trans: You are too young to witness this.}
The humanoid child tilted its head and stared at the girl. She looked at her in the eyes and then reached for her pocket, pulling out what seemed to be something wrapped in paper as she gave it to the white-haired girl.
"Εδώ!"
{trans: Here!}
The white-haired girl looked at the small palms that reached out to her as she saw a single sweet on her hand, wrapped in dirty paper.
"Hmm?"
The humanoid child neighbor smiled widely at her.
"Θα σου το δώσω αφού φαίνεσαι πεσμένος. Αυτό θα σας φτιάξει τη διάθεση! Υπόσχομαι!"
{trans: I will give this to you since you seem down. This will cheer you up! I promise!}
The candy fell to the girl's palm and she stared at it for a while, the innocence of the neighbor beside her was enough to clear her mind and look at her surroundings.
The blood around them was enough to stain the ground, the bodies are enough to be food for the living, and the events that happened here will stay for a long time.
She didn't feel any regret. She doesn't even feel anything at this point.
The girl then clenched her fist and pocketed the item she received, grabbing her katana as she stood up.
The humanoid child neighbor only looked at her as she did so, not moving an inch.
"Εσείς."
{trans: You.}
She turn her attention to the child and smiled.
"Είσαι ακόμα νέος, έχεις τόσα πολλά να ζήσεις σε αυτόν τον σκληρό κόσμο."
{trans: You are still young, have so much to live for in this cruel world.}
She then proceeded to throw a knife on the ground as her smile disappeared, leaving a cold expression on her face as the temperature around them drops.
"So, survive. Before you get eaten alive."
The humanoid child slowly looked at the knife thrown at the ground and slowly realized what is happening.
The child trembled and hurriedly grabbex the knife, running away without turning back to look as the white-haired girl watch the child run.
As the child disappeared from her sight, she turned to her bloody hands and sighed.
She knew that her job is not yet done.
"Where should I go next?"
