It's time for the flash fiction about Maddock!!

[652 words]

--A little bit of what Maddock was doing before, sorry for any errors, I wrote with my heart :3--

He trudges his way through the snow, the wild wind biting and cruel. His dark hair whips around him, his breath running ragged, he can't stop now, he can't. He spent too long tracking the beast, the Void-damned thing almost shook him, it ends now. He pushes forward, his strong legs sinking into the snow further with each step, he grits his teeth, annoyance burning bright in his veins.

This monster has been actively taunting the folk who live up this high, in the places where his Majesty the King refuses to send aid to the border towns, always ripe for an attack and essentially defenseless. These towns are expendable to the Monarchy, they live too far for them to care it seems.

And so they need people like him, people with skills enough to take down the creatures that come from the Void, laying waste to good honest folk, just trying to live, old traditions kept alive through these people, remembering the old ways. That's probably the real reason why the King doesn't give a shit, these people aren't cowards, they won't bow and he knows that, so he sees fit to stay his hand while they die off.

Maddock fucking hates that. People deserve to live as they like, as long as they don't cause suffering, so what if they like praying to trees?

The wind hits harder, as if it wasn't horrible enough, he pushes on, gripping his furs closer to his body, refusing to give in to this chill. He's been living up here for nigh on ten years, doing his job, accepting whatever the people can spare, even if it's just a meal for the night. Though it's spent mostly alone, it's better that way, better to be alone than to cause harm again…

A frantic cry warbles out into the air around him, the equal sound of a woman crying, and an otherworldly screaming. His mouth presses into a stoic line. It's time.

He grabs a fistful of iron and salt from his pack. It won't cause a ton of damage, though it'll be enough to distract this creature. From the treeline he spots a faint apparition, a woman in her wedding clothes. The weeping intensifies, for a moment, just a moment, he feels unfathomable pity for this creature, for its cruel existence.

As soon as the feeling came, it was gone. Maddock charges forward through the snow, unsteadily making his way closer, the creature waits, as if expecting this. As soon as he's close enough, he flings the fistful of iron and salt at it, the creature emits a horrific gurgling sound, he narrows his eyes, grabs his sword.

The dance fully begins.

-

He sits upon a rock jutting from the crisp white sea of snow, his brow coated in sweat, he holds his sword arm, hisses in pain, then folds the furs over to reveal a deep bite, courtesy from the creature's dagger-like teeth. He quickly rustles around in his pack, grabs the pot of honey he always carries with him, he uncorks it with one hand, dropping the lid to his side, he gingerly scoops a viscous blob of it onto the wound. He cries out, momentarily stunned by the pain, a tear slips from his eye, and rolls down to his upper lip before freezing in place.

Before him a dazzling light calls attention to itself, he stares at it, incredulous. The light coalesces into a golden blob, and then, it speaks.

"Dear friend, it is time for your self imposed isolation to end--"

He knows that voice, he huffs out a laugh as it continues with its message.

"I know you'd not come under normal circumstances, stubborn man that you are, so I'm calling in one of my favors, meet someone for me at the port in Aisley, won't you dear? I have all the details for you.."

Damn it, Safira.

Alrighty, The Hunger won the poll so I'll get working on a flash fiction about it soon!

[vayle]

The winner of the story poll is Maddock!

I am not surprised, but it was a close tie between him and The Hunger at one point.

The people have spoken! So I shall get to working on it 🥰

This account, and my itch account just hit over 100 followers. And as a gift for this milestone, I will write a drabble or flash fiction about the character who gets the most votes in this poll.

I wanna say from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for all the support for my story. I'm glad there are people who love this world, and characters as much as I do.
