Raiders Chapter 14: the Dark room
Page 1
My room is a dark ruin filled with fungus. Anyone who has opened its door has left me.
(all speech bubbles say huk* meaning deep breath)
This dark room swallows any visitors and makes them lose themselves, so those with its keys are like a tiger moth.
Drop the key if you wish not to turn into a handful of ash.
I am a black flame, which swallows everything.
A black sun, which grow bigger by ripping you to shreds.

Farmer: who is it?
Page 6
Wh what happened to you? You are heavily wounded.
Huh?
Hey
Wake up!!
Page 7
I’m just a poor farmer so I can’t make any fancy food.
But you have to fill yourself. Hurry and eat.
I was so surprised yesterday. You must be a victim of a war.
It’s good for you to be able to move your body though
Thank you
Page 8
It was different from that jail, throwing strange chunks of meat at me.
Did humans have such warm hearts?
Can I slowly mix into one of them?
What’s going on? Why are your wounds rotting?
Page 9
It’s alright. I can still work like this.
But…
Page 10
Sfx: scream ( ignore other 3 speech bubbles)
My mind was in chaos and my body was in so much pain.
Am I living?
Why
Am I thinking ‘I want to live’?
Page 11
Huh?
Page 12
The body of the human I have eaten. An instinct for me to live.
Maybe I didn’t want to accept the fact that I cannot be with them because of such a sweet life I’ve had.
Page 13
They say the corpse was ripped to shreds. Maybe it’s the work of wild animals.
But I’ve heard there’s a monster that eats people.
Just recently it ate 5 people.
You had best be careful.
They are my food and source of my life
Just like a rabbit and a wolf, it’s just a part of a food chain to live.
Page 14
I am not ‘evil’. Just another ‘race’
1565 A.D outskirts of Hungary.
Damn it. Its starting again.
Why is this lord picking new maids so often?
Page 15
20 maids have been taken in just this year already.
At this rate all the women will disappear from this village.
I heard he’s not just ‘picking’ new maids.
I believe he makes all the maids sleep with him.
Those sick royalties. What will become of this village?
Is there noone to stop him?
If I was a maid, I’d go to bed with him and stab him from the back.
But you would just get caught by the guards and lose your life. Who would do such a thing.
Page 16
You are now maids of our lord.
You will be taught about manners in the castle and serve our lord accordingly
But our lord wishes to see you first so prepare yourselves.
She looks a little too young…. Did she not hear the rumors about the lord?
The body is rotting again.
Like I thought, I must eat a human regularly.
Page 18
All speech bubbles say sob
When they started to release their feelings,
They could no longer control themselves.
Page 19
Don’t worry.
Nothing will happen.
Sfx: cry
Page 20
Maybe… I was made to protect such weak beings.
I wanted to put some kind of meaning for my sick and twisted acts for me to survive.
Page 21
Hm
You look a little young. What is your age?
14 sir
Its tragic for such a young girl to work at a place like this.
I think you will need some special care so I want to speak with you later.
Page 22
Send her to my room tonight
Ah// I uh……..
I..
My lord. I’m sorry to inform you but this child is very sick today.
I believe she will do you more bad than good to you for now.
And I also wish to speak with you.
Would you give me the honor of visiting you tonight?
Page 23
Alright
Come to my bedroom tonight.
Yes my lord
Page 24
Ah. Are you ge…
Don’t worry about it.
Huh?
Page 25
Come here
Yes
Page 26
If I’m an unforgivable criminal….
Then I must punish the evil to receive redemption.
Existing only to punish evil, carrying out the unavoidable judgment.
Page 27
Maybe I have the honor of carrying out your will.
Are you alright?
I was so worried that…
Page 28
Huh?
There’s blood…
Page 29
I told you nothing will happen.
Ah…..
Mo….
Monster
Page 30
Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
Page 33
I can stand all punishment for my sins.
Don’t let me get shaken
By their fear
And their hate.
And To not seek the flesh of an innocent.
Page 34
I fought my sins for hundreds of years.
I never wanted the flesh of an innocent and carried out what I believed to be god’s will.
God wasn’t as cruel as I thought he was. I wasn’t alone when I hid my identity,
And they could never recognize me when I left them soon.
If I give my feelings I want to stay longer, and by doing so put them into a dangerous spot.
A wolf cannot live with a herd of sheep.
Page 35
When I reached France after the long journey, 1st World War took place.
And the bodies of soldiers and civilians allowed me to stop seeking new victims,
And preserve my body.
Page 36
Kyaaaaaaaaa
It’s dangerous here too…
Help…
Weapons also evolve as the time pass by huh.
Can I die if I’m hit by one of those things?
No…. I’d only lose half of my body.
This cursed body….
Page 37
Sfx scream x2
Page 38
Sfx scream
Page 39
Ooh. How did you do that miss?
I can’t believe it, to beat those with guns with just swords.
It won’t be dangerous if we stay with you.
Well. I think there’s nothing more dangerous than staying with me.
Page 40
Aren’t you hungry?
Food is in short supply now. You either die in war by wounds or starvation….// there is death everywhere now.
And to be born in such time, this baby has horrible luck too.
I’m fine. You should hang on to it to feed that baby of yours.
Page 41
Ah… well..
I have a request miss. I want to protect this baby but I doubt I can.
At times like this it’s hard enough just to keep yourself alive.// but I think someone like you would be different.
If I have you around him, then maybe
Page 42
No….!!
Hey. They are just civilians.
They may seem like one.
But there’s a monster hiding in them. Bloody French.
Fire!!
Page 45
The baby…
Please..
Page 46
I’m losing…
Consciousness…
Maybe this time…
I can die…
Page 47
All bubbles say sfx baby’s cry
Page 48
Sfx baby’s cry x2
Sfx scream x2
Page 49
The unimaginable pain was holding my body.
Sfx scream x2
The pain was enough to make the sky go blur.
Unlike the feeling of near death pain of normal humans, each cell was screaming in pain…
My body and my mind struggled to the point I couldn’t remember.
All I could remember,
Was that I was crawling with all my might
At the small living organism.
Page 50
Please…
The baby…
Sfx: baby cry x2
It was
Page 51
The opposite
Of my
Intention
To save a life
Page 52
Hat!
Sigh.
Page 53
I’m just a monster
With the weak will of humans.
I don’t have to walk with humans.
Page 54
I’m a monster that creeps the dark to seek
Death
Haven’t I have prayed to the one I hate the most
To not seek the flesh of an innocent?
Anyone who has opened the door has left me
Now the key to that door is lost forever.
