Chapter 20: Chapter 3
Being in the capital brought a feeling of safety to the people who had been living in Rock's town. The capital's people had been very open to receiving the people, more so after the sheer number of women and children being the only ones who had survived. The six men who knew nothing about using swords were aloud to begin work in their trades, while Rock was taken to the capital's council. The knights there looked a pon him with respect as he had lost no one during the trips first night attack. A man willing to die protecting his people was a rarity these days. The council was very understanding about the situation, telling Rock that their town was the first one to have so many come in, even if it was mostly women and children. Other towns and villages much like Rock's had been attacked. most of the time only five to twenty survivers came in, most were just cowards who ran, instead of defend their home and families. Rock was saddened to hear such news. Even more so when the Council stated that no one had any idea as to where these beasts came from. This stoped Rock dead when he heard this. These beasts were attacking town after town, and no one knew what they were or where they came from.
After the meeting, Rock went to the hospital area the capital had provided to the refugees. there he found Lizzy and her daughter being talked to by a nurse. she was checking over the half dressed lizzy as she asked about lizzy's attack. When Rock came in, Lizzy's daughter, Sherry ran to him. Sherry, only three, was used to Rock being the nice Mayor everyone loved and trusted. Lizzy had seen a new side of him though. The side that made him seem more then just the mayor, but the protector of his town.
"Sir are you of some relation?" asked the nurse. "For now I am accepting responsibility for the two as their mayor, is there an issue with the patient's health?" Rock asked."Not that i can see. Although her sizes are that of a pre teen girl, not a grown adult who is a mother." said the nurse. Rock chuckled at Lizzy's expression as the nurse said that. No matter where she went or the people who saw her, little Lizzy would always be so. "She has always been that way, but that has never stopped her from doing what she needed to do, her daughter being a prime example." Rock said picking Sherry up and holding her as she kissed his cheek. As Lizzy adjusted he dress back into place she was about to stand when the nurse stoped her. "Oh no you don't. I still have more of you to examine. Mr. Mayor, would you kindly watch Miss Sherry while I finish my work." the nurse said. Rock nodded and took Sherry who waved saying "Bye bye." as they walked away. Rock then saw Walter who was watching as kids were playing. Rock let sherry go to play with the simple toys left out for children while Rock walked to Walter. "So any idea on what we do now?" asked Walter. "Honestly no. The council has no clue what has happened. We weren't the only town attacked. But we are the only one that had a large population survive." Rock said. "You call fifty people large population?" asked Walter. "Compared to ten or fifteen people, yes. Most survivers were men who were cowards and ran, left their home and families to die Instead of defending them. Walter we were lucky that night, something made those creatures leave us alone so that we could attempt what we did till fall. Most towns weren't spared." said Rock. Walter looked at the children playing. "Rock we must do something. Those beasts killed fifty five men who trained you to wield your blade. Some of the best swordsmen I've known, cut down before they could fight. Women raped and killed, homes burned and destroyed. Rock these beasts will destroy us again. The knights can only do so much, and we have almost three thousand men and women in this grand City's walls." said Walter Rock nodded. He saw what Walter was saying. They were like cattle in a pen now. If the beasts launched a full scale assault on the capital the population would be cut in half minimal. Rock looked at little Sherry. and for a brief moment he swore her face had turned to a skull.
