Lord of the Truth

Robin stopped and looked at the woman and her feeble steps as she hugged the dead, rotting chicken with her shaky arms, following her as she brought the *breakfast* to the other side of the street, even though the sun had set.

She was only crossing the road but the few steps took her more than two minutes, she kept forcibly pulling her legs as if she was pulling weights until she finally reached what looked like a corpse and sat next to her.

"Umm..." Only when the *corpse* tried to speak did Robin know that the owner of this skinny body was actually still alive, his features were not recognizable due to severe hunger and thirst that looked no different than a long dried mummy

And also because a lard chunk of the skin and flesh on the left half of his face was nowhere to be found

But with one look with the eye of the truth, Robin knew that the owner of this body was a boy that is not yet ten years old...

"Wait a minute, my dear... Mama has brought you breakfast.." The woman gently stroked her son's head and then moved her shaking hand again towards the dead chicken and began to pluck its feathers one by one, the woman did not even have the strength to remove several feathers together...

estimating the number of feathers on the body of the dead chicken, it seemed as if the woman would never finish, it was clear that she and her son had not eaten anything for days, and at this pace, they will not eat today either...

"Grrrrr..!!!!"

While Robin stared at what was happening before him in curiosity, a snarling sound came from behind the wall on which the woman was leaning, and slowly a dog came out from behind the wall, not some high level beast or anything, just an ordinary dog...

"No.. no... no.. go away." When the woman saw it she was terrified, she hugged the dead chicken again with one hand, held a small stone in her other hand, clung to the wall, and then spoke in a weak voice, "Not today... I won't give you… I can't... please..." 𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗ｎovel.𝐜o𝒎

The dog looked at her for a few seconds as if he wanted to pounce on her, but at the last second, it seemed as if it understood that it would have to fight a life-or-death battle if it wanted to take that chicken from her hand, so the dog turned its eyes and looked towards the easier target... He looked at her son.

"No... No..." The woman looked at the dog's eyes and then at her son, and began to mutter with great fear as if she could foresee what would happen next.

"GGRRRRRAAA!!" The dog suddenly jumped up and grabbed the son's left arm and started pulling back!

"my son..!!" The woman left the stone from her left hand and took hold of her other son's right arm and began to pull it towards her and shout, "Isn't it enough for you.. what you did.. to my son's face? Leave him live.. the rest of his days.. in peace!!"

wither it is the woman or the dog they were both extremely skinny and powerless, just bones covered in skin, and the child in the middle was too weak to shriek in pain or even to show any reaction, only his eyes partially open looking up at the sky... The whole scene was extremely tragic, to say the least.

After a few seconds, when the woman knew that the dog would not walk, she looked at the dead chicken in her lap and then at her son, then after some hesitation, she threw the chicken to her side and pulled her son towards her with both hands...

The dog was happy to let go of the boy's arm and then went to the chicken, took it in its mouth, and quickly hid again behind the wall, leaving the woman embracing her son in her arms, her face seemed to squeeze, she wanted to cry, but the depletion that hit her body refused to shed a single tear.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Robin completely forgot what had been on his mind just before, he forget about the questions that could affect the future of entire planets!

Unknowingly, he found his feet moving toward the woman and her child...

"Y-- You.. what.. do you want? No... I have nothing.." At last, the woman noticed Robin after being shot a few steps away from her, she hugged her son to her chest even more in apparent terror, "We are both skinny... there is no meat In our bodies... you will not benefit anything from us... please.. "

'Is she afraid that I want to eat them?' Robin stopped three steps away after hearing those words, not daring to take another step.

Then, for the first time since leaving the Space Portal, he started looking around.

The corpses and body parts are scattered everywhere, there is no difference between them and the dirt and stones, the devastation inflicted on all the houses without exception, as there is not a single house or structure standing without a wall or two demolished, and the strangest thing is that there is hardly anyone in the street even though the sun has set only a few minutes ago

This can easily be understood that people are terrified to go out at night, but where did all the people go with most of the houses destroyed? Are there any people in this ghost town anyways?

It had been about two weeks since he left the space portal in Jura City and he was walking continuously, he felt a lot of horrors happening around him and many thieves tried to rob him, but he didn't pay any attention, nothing stopped him and shocked him to the core as what he sees now.

This area looked like hell itself.

"This place... where are we now?" Robin looked at the woman again and asked

The woman did not know what this question was and what caused it, but she did not dare to delay in answering, so she spoke directly, "...We are in the capital of what was known as... the Duchy of Evrin."
