-It's awful quiet now when I get back to the country. Seems like I am getting to used to that noisy Inn. (Venir)

He was riding behind his dad and looked around him while they headed through the little community of houses. No one was out and it was very quiet.

After riding for a while Venir felt something was wrong. Not even one person could be seen and not even a bird could be heard. Dan seems to have notice the same thing and stepped down from the horse while leading it closer to a house.

Hello!! Anyone inside?! Its Dan, we are passing trough on our way home... (Dan)

No answer. Not a sound and that made Dan draw his sword and hush with a finger to his mouth to let it be known Venir should be quiet.

Venir nodded without a word and looked at Dan while he walked soundlessly to the doorway. The door itself was standing halfway open and he stepped inside.

It took some time and when he came out, it was with a pale face. Dan looked at Venir and seems to collect himself and find the right words. He didn't want Venir to worry more then necessary.

-Son, you need to stay here while I ride ahead. I will come back. But you must stay here and hide if you see or hear something move. Don't go inside the house. (Dan)

He nearly pulled Venir down from the horse and then pulled himself up in a hurry.

-You hear me. Stay here! I will be back for you! (Dan)

-Dad? (Venir)

Before he could ask anything Dan set off in a rush in the direction of their home. Standing there not knowing what to do he felt worried.

'What's happening? Something is clearly not right.' (Venir)

At first Venir was standing as he was told, not a sound could be heard and it made him feel uncomfortable.

He was looking at the house from where he stood and tried to figure out what had made his dad ran off without him like that.

As time went by, several hours in fact. Venir started to get restless and glanced at the door to the farmers house.

Starting to wonder what was inside it. No sound had come from the house since Dan left. The farmers family that live here had not yet to show themselves either. It was all to strange.

Finally Venir took one step after another to the door of the house. Ever so slowly he walked closer.

-Hello?... Anyone home? (Venir)

No answer and he started to feel a smell fermenting the air. It was a strange smell he never had felt before. It was a heavy smell of iron and decay. Something else but it was hard to describe.

Unable to move forward at first, Venir stood there still at the doorstep. After a while he forced himself to walk inside, every step felt wrong and he wanted to turn around.

It was dark inside so it was hard to see at first but when his eyes slowly got used to the darkness he stumbled backwards and then started to puke. There was blood everywhere in the room. On the table, some chairs and the walls. Some flesh decorated it on and off. Like some sick artwork.

At the floor lay the family members or what was left of them. One arm could be seen and other parts that was added up in a pile. It was the whole family, more or less.

Rushing out of the house and trying to puke ones again. It didn't work, only bile come out. Standing on all four on the ground and try and grasp for air he finally understood why Dan had to leave him and gallop away.

'I would slow him down and he needed to get to mom fast. But... mom. Dad.... No, no.'

-They, or whatever it is that killed those farmers might been just passing through here. Mom might still be okay. No, of course she is okay.

-Yeah, she is fine.

Venir dreaded for the possibility but tried to stay positive. He slowly stood up and then took to deep breaths before he left at an amazing speed toward his family house.

...

At the house he slowed down and was well aware of not having his sword. His dad gave him one at his birthday but it was inside the house.

Dan could not be seen anywhere so he stealthy moved forward and around the back of the house.

-Dad?

-Mom?

Venir didn't dare to yell so he spoke nervously and hope he wouldn't encounter something unpleasant.

[Scratch...] (?)

-Eh? M-mom? (Venir)

He slowly walked inside when he didn't get an answer, the door was already broken and lay on the floor. Of course Venir did know that it wasn't a good sign, but he had to know what have happened to his parents and why Dan isn't answering.

'N-no blood. That's a good sign.'

So far Venir couldn't see any blood on the floor or the ground but he heard a scraping sound and something that reminded of chewing.

What he found was an Demon boar. An omnivores that often was seen in the forest, it mostly stayed away from humans and only attacked when they were very hungry or angry.

But now after smelling something wonderful strolled into the empty house and took a bit of the food on the floor.

M- m-mom?

Venir rushed forward and kicked at the Dendor with all his might and it was sent off and crashed into the nearest wall. He hardly looked at it as he knelt down by the nearly unrecognized corps of a ones very beautiful woman.

-N- Noooo!!

-It's a lie!!

The Dendor slowly raised up angry and stared at Venir with red eyes before slamming into him and sending Venir flying to the side.

Venir lay still on the floor and the demon boar was going return to its snack. It was when the demon boar was just about to take a new bite when it felt a chill run down it's spine.

Watching to its left it saw how Venir slowly stood up. At that point it felt a fright and wanted to flee but was unable to move.

-Don't touch my mother, you fuck!

[Smach!] [Crack.]

It all happened in a moment. He was just there beside the boar with his fist buried in his left eye and up in its brain. Venirs hand was broken but he took it out like it was nothing and let the dead boar crumble to the floor.

A crackling sound could be heard as the bones in his hand slowly healed and relined themselves thanks to his refined body. It was painful but Venir at this time didn't even notice it.

In chock Venir slowly got a blanket and wrapped up his mother carefully and walked outside. He made a grave after have been sitting with here and crying like a madman.

-Father... where are you.

Venir roamed around like a zombie in search of his father but couldn't find him either alive or dead. The only thing he could find was some prints on the ground.

He couldn't tell if it was human or animal but it lead into the forest. Nothing other to do he followed the trail further and further away from the house.

He had no food and nothing prepared for traveling, just his sword he found inside the house before he left. The trail on the ground to beckoned him on but soon got less and less clear to follow.

Venir were lost but continued walking like nothing other mattered. His gray eyes was now dry and no tears fell. They looked cold and hollow.

Rustling and growling sounds could soon be heard all around him but Venir was calm like never before.

-Come..
