Room 6,

On the other hand, Arthur is struck with odd serenity upon getting into his bed.

He remembered how nice Gabrielle is; he had expected her to jump on him, as with any mamono and he had a dagger and a holy cross hidden just in case, but the worst hadn’t happened. What surprised him more is that she looks like his former lover in the picture and that they share the name. And if given a chance and without those pesky boundaries such as sides, ideals and pasts, if not for his true identity, he would give her a chance to prove that she can be a friend and at best or not, be the second one that will make his heart beat again.

“Gabrielle is dead, and the one that I had helped isn’t her, it’s just another monster on a human woman’s skin.” He tried to shrug her off his mind, but it won’t do.

“But even if she’s a monster on a human’s skin and an enemy of my true self, she hadn’t deserved what happened to her…. and so to many of my victims and to me as well.” Arthur thought. “I’ll just sleep it off….I’m tired and drunk too to find another inn nearby. I hope I won’t have a hungover tomorrow, maybe I can just slip away in daybreak before she wakes up and get on with this weapons smuggling business.”

He closed his eyes. As sleep begins to overtake him, he remembered his mother saying that he should pray to the Chief God so she would send an angel or a valkyrie to guard him. But now, to whom will he pray to. Obviously, he won’t pray to humanity’s supposed protector, after all the efforts he and his comrades done for her, only for her to allow the worst to happen to them. The dismantling of the Order. The inability and unwillingness of justice to punish Deruella for extremist activities. The later being the cause of the fall of his home and his loved ones. Finally, having to live on daily hardship as a Foreign Legionnaire in harsh assignments which took the life of the last of his friends and almost took his. He tried to console himself of his own crimes and that the very lilim who destroyed his home provides the resisting tribes necessary weapons. He wanted at least to deal Deruella with all or just a fraction of his pain he had endured ever since, but it also affected him as well. He swallowed that lingering conscience when he threw captured enemies on fire. He swallowed that conscience when he lined up dozens of mamono and incubi, guilty and innocent alike, either into the guillotine, the slash of the halberds beheading them or the range of his men’s guns. Every time he killed them, he only thought of them as Deruella.

“Best not to think of it. Not tonight. I want to sleep now.” He told himself. Instead, he shifted to count the seconds passed. It worked. Exhaustion begins to take on his toll and he gradually fell into slumber.



Next day,

Arthur had slept longer than he meant to. His eyes were still closed and his consciousness is bare when the sun begins to rise from the mountains. The clock is showing 7 o’clock.

(I don’t know if I should make Arthur a true arms dealer now or he’ll still act as a spy for Wossurians. But the sure thing is, he and Gabrielle will go on to adventure. ‘Droen’ will have a client in the resistance.

''Btw, Arthur’s/Droen’s description is silver hair, brown eyes, bit taller than average height [6’00 maybe?] and well-built figure. I’m still trying to think of Arthur’s possible signature on his body, such as a scar, for Gabrielle to recognize him.''

''And also about Wossuria and the 32nd Legion: I have read the other role plays and I have noticed that the Order is the only anti-mamono group and I have only recently discovered about the Guardians. Still, I like the idea of a Cuba-esque isolated nation that still keeps the fight against the monsters, long after the war ended. Wossuria is a peninsula nation with a medium-sized empire, and once a nation always ravaged by the previous monsters. The latter had a powerful effect that the militaristic generation became the prime force in leading the people during times of hardship and defending Wossuria. As said, mamono do not want to kill humans anymore and they act like humans now after the Correction, but the harsh history with monsters and isolation they have gone to even before the Order collapsed allowed the nation to keep their anti-mamono stance. And also that the leaders of Wossuria and the Guardians had struck a deal that the Guardians and mamono should refrain from threatening to conquer the parts of Wossuria and Wossurians forbidden to harm mamono (but only OUTSIDE the Wossurian territory), or else, the Wossurians will unleash their hidden ‘weapons of mass destruction’ (maybe mana bombs and void vortex generators that can destroy the world, or weather control devices or seismic wave generators and of course they are both products of magic, science and the history of Wossuria). In other words, the Wossurians are saying: “Force us to accept them and say goodbye to the world as you know it.”''

   Maiandra is considered part of the Wossurian Empire, but it is only an occupied province with mamono and is considered a hot spot by the Wossurian military for deemed anti-Wossurian activities.

''The Wossurian Foreign Legion is just an expy of the French Foreign Legion in its infancy, composed of troublemakers, mercenaries, people who failed and want to begin new lives, spirited adventurers and note that both are composed of foreign and Wossurian troops. In the case of the 32nd Foreign Legion, it is mainly composed of former zealots of the defunct Order, but there are also criminals hiding from law and people who came from human kingdoms that were occupied by the Demon Realm or accepted mamono, explaining one of the factors why they are so brutal in their conduct in Maiandra. But also, there are good-willed people who do not want to hurt mamono anymore, but getting somewhere to start a new life is their primary goal)''
