Canto I

THE UNWELCOMING

Chapter 6 /// Coda
"Undesired Moth."

And in the end.. they won.. because of my master's involvement and his stupid little "No Kill" rule-

No need to go too hard on him Artemis.

Wha.. what do you mean?! I could have won, could have killed them, even I was about to die as well, but because that old fossil decided to involve himself so that he wouldn't see either of us die! This is stupid..

Maybe it's because of his love for everyone, just like our King's love. After all, his love started because of one woman showed him love and kindness that he never had.

"Woman"? Let me, is it that butterfly infected lady-

Don't.

...

Why is she so significant? I know that I never met her, but what's so special about her?

Why don't you go see her for yourself?

Later..

Huh.. you're still a procrastinating child in the inside huh?

Damn you..

DIMENSION-91102-α

The man watches as the city, once peaceful, was now ravaged with criminals and alike.
One of these peoples were.. unnaturally. They had the body of a full fledged human, but their skin were dull, their eyes devoid with life, almost as if they weren't supposed to be in this world. The other criminals had moral that were questionable, but the action and movement of this particular person didn't look or seem to copy the moral of the others.

The man in black slowly raises his arm, and then his index finger. A murder of crow then flies toward the unnatural being. The being saw the murder of crow then their arm suddenly burst into tendril abhorrence. Butterflies rapidly started blooming and flying from the tendrils. The people nearby saw such grotesque transformation and immediately screaming. Others running, while others fighting for self defense.. but all ultimately decay in the end as the butterflies past through them.

Except the man in black and his murder of crow. The being started lashing out, seemingly wanting to do harm to the crows to "protect" itself. But in the end it ultimately failed due to the sheer amount of the. The crows uses their beak to pluck and attack the being, until there was none in the end.

Suddenly, a man in shining armor appeared behind the man in black. His face covered by his helm and his visor.

Huh.. I was gonna dispatch the being myself. But it appears a Shikari has beaten me to it.

...

Not the type to talk eh? Hah, I supposed every Shikari has something unique about their personality as a whole.

The man watches alongside man in black the now remaining corpse of the unnatural being.

My job is done here. There is nothing else for you to be done.=.

Hah.. and also not the welcoming type. Oh whelp. But since the work I supposed to do was already finished, I might as well tell you something else.

The man in black turns and look at the knight.

What is it?

The butterfly is soon to awake. It is a matter of time until dimensions to dimensions gets decayed. These dimensions, created by AEsirs.

A silence follows shortly

Why are you speaking of this now?

It's because you are the last person I want to.

...

You secretly are part of the Acherontia Atropos Cult aren't you?

Both the man did not speak, before both of them immediately took stance. The knight put his hand on the hilt of his sword, the man in black produced a dagger from his pocket. After a minute of stare down, they both rushed at each other. The knight drew his sword just as the man raised his dagger to aim exactly at the holes of the knight's visor. The knight deflect the strike and swung his sword towards he man. The man disappeared as corvids surrounds him, appearing on top of the knight.

The man in black was aiming towards the knight's neck. But.. feints of electricity was produced in the knight's sword. The swung of said sword was fast, too fast for the human sight to perceive. The swung hit the side of the man's side before even his dagger could reached him. The strike forced him to crashed through multiple buildings.

But of course the man wasn't dead. The knight slowly turned behind to see a murder of crows packed tightly together before flying, revealing the man with a bloodied side. The dagger still on his side.

And those it matter that if I'm a part of the cult? What if I'm not from this group?

I want to know if you are. And so that you don't die, just confess that you are a cultist disguise as a Shikari. I would be surprise if you ARE a shikari betraying the Lord and becoming a cultist.

Hah.. like it matters. My identity that is to be revealed towards you is irrelevant.

Several crows starts to surround the man. The knight realizes what he was going to escape and immediately went for a cleave.. but all he hit was air where the man was originally in.

Tch.. fine then. So be it.

The sun rose over the horizon.

The birth of this fake butterfly.. a moth, shall end soon.
