WE were the Strangers.

in voilk •  4 months ago

    Amicia and her younger brother, Hugo, lost their entire family during an attack by the Inquisition. Amicia nearly knows Hugo who grew up cut off from the world because of a mysterious illness. She must now take him to Laurentius, the doctor treating him since a young age.

    So, the peoples who killed the family of Amicia are known by Inquisition and Nicholas is their leader. Now as Amicia, I need to find Laurentius who's been the doctor of Hugo for a long time and for that, we're in a village that's stranger to us or should I say we're strangers to the village?

    A Plague Tale Innocence: The Strangers


    They just reached the shore after a long swim and Amicia looked too tired after witnessing what just happened to her sweet family and to run from their own home to survive. She was guessing the village must be further on where someone might help them find Laurentius.

    Hugo was silent and when Amicia looked back, she noticed the kid sitting on the ground with a sad face and he was saying that his mommy won't be happy to know that he fell in the water.

    Poor boy didn't know his mommy is no more and these words broke Amicia even more that she couldn't cry and couldn't let the kid know that his mommy is no more that his dearest mommy is dead.

    She looked around to hide her sad face and said to Hugo that they shouldn't mention it when they see her.

    Now taking the hand of the kid who hardly knew his elder sister, who just lost her dearest mother, who had a mysterious illness, I need to explore the village where we're strangers and we have to find someone whom we don't know where can be found.

    And there we were at the gate of the village and the kid was too hungry that he ran towards the fruit stall but Amicia asked him not to touch them as they were rotten.

    I noticed this stable with two horses and I went close to them thinking I might get to ride these horses but no, they're just to observe, not to ride.

    I could see smoke on the air and we started walking following the smoke and the village was strange with all the houses and the alleys.

    I could see some ladies who shut their door as fast as they could and they didn't answer us when both of us started knocking their door as they seemed scared.

    And then we reached this spot where some villagers were burning peoples alive and there was this photo focusing the burned body that I'm now showing her as that's disturbing and they were about to burn this lady next.

    Noticing us, that macho man named Conrad (who was probably the leader of their goon team) was mentioning us responsible for the curse came on them and started threatening us.

    The kid started being scared hearing what that man was talking about and then their peoples started to come towards us so we started running again to survive and this its in a village where we're totally strangers.

    We somehow managed to get behind a door but there was a villager looking for us as well so I had to distract him to walk forward and find a way to escape this place and get to Laurentius.

    There we stuck somewhere where we found a way out but we couldn't climb up there so I used my sling to get the box down and use it to climb up and go out.

    Suddenly that lady from the house started shouting noticing us and was letting the villagers know our whereabouts and the villagers were coming after us so we kept running again.

    After a while, we found a ladder where Amicia decided to send Hugo first and the ladder broke down. Hugo found a box above and pushed it towards me so I could get up and the kid did well there.

    Then we reached this place where Conrad was shouting at some villagers as they didn't find us. Conrad asked the villagers to call others and get all the alleys blocked and was telling himself that he will send us to hell piece by piece if he catch us.

    Now that we're stuck in a village where we are the strangers, can I save them from those savages?

    That's all for now. I'll write about more of this story again soon. Be safe till we meet again.
    Au revoir/Goodbye.
