Desmond stares at the hooded girl, while getting into a combat stance ready to parry in case she lunges forward, tensions rose up in the air as both the girl and Desmond wait, waiting for the other to strike.

Any second now...

Any second now...

Good lord, this bitch won't attack him anytime at this rate, oh, it seems they're both parrying and waiting.
'Hm, wait i still have my useless Uzi, well it better be worth the try then.'
Desmond quickly zips open his duffle bag which was still on him, frantically searching for his Uzi while keeping eye on the girl.
'Where the hell is it...'

Suddenly, the girl makes a move and attempts to strike him, he tried to parry with his axe but.

TWING

The sound of metal colliding echoes throughout the area, his grip on the axe dissappeared as it was thrown to nearby bushes, she wasn't striking him, she has disarming him! She proceeds to follow up with a slash, which Desmond evaded whilst wincing in pain, damn that cursed luck of his for embedding a damn branch on his leg.

Luckily for him, he grabbed what he assumes to be his useless Uzi out, wait no, its his M1911 but right now the situation is tense so he aimed his gun at her, yelling again but this time in English.
"Okay, you little nutclown how about you drop your sword or something cause i ain't gonna warn you again!"

The yelling echoed throughout the area, the girl probably understood what he said as she was flinched by his demand, but recomposes herself in a stance and then spoke.
"Oh? If you've spoke Victorian earlier i would have understand, wanderer, too bad i won't comply with that request."

Wait, what the hell is Victorian? Nevermind that thought, focus! He aimed at her arms to try and disable her...

BANG!

BANG!

He shot burst of bullets shot towards her, but she quickly evaded the 2 of them while one gets embedded on her right arm.

"AH!"

The girl recoils in pain as she drops her sword, now is the time. Desmond quickly approaches her while she is still recovering, and hits her square in the face, eventually knocking her out.
'Finally, for fucks sake, it feels like the world is against me or something.'

After standing around and recovering for a bit, Desmond grabs his assailant's hood and uncovered her face.
...

'I, uh... Okay i probably regret hitting her square in the face.'
His assailant was a young woman that looked like in her 30s, blonde hair going down to her shoulders and seems to be wearing a plain grey T-shirt, jeans that are ripped, no not pre-ripped like the ones you find at stores and a thin tail. Wait, TAIL?!
'WHAT THE HECK? Am i seeing things?!'

Desmond just stares in shock, confused by what he saw, no its probably a hallucination from lack of sleep, just to be sure...

tap

To his surprise, the tail suddenly recoils away from physical contact, is it sensitive or something? Okay that aside he is DEFINITELY not seeing things and theres already a crowd of questions in his mind.
'Goddamnit, guess i'll just tie her up and then hit the hole... And probably ask questions about this Victorian thing.'

Sighing, he decided to use his out-cold assailant's cloak to tie up both her arms and legs so she doesn't do anything stupid while i'm asleep.
"Man, today has been weird, first falling down a bridge and now this, hm. Oh wait, my axe."

Realizing he forgot about his axe, he goes up to retrieve it where it was last thrown, it took some time looking around the bush to locate it and he found it, he returned back to his spot, sitting down and began to sleep, waiting for the next sunrise...

Zzzz...

The sound of birds chirping in the sky along with insects doing their noise woke me up, still lying down, i looked around a bit before getting up, the fire has died dow and only ashes remain where it once laid.
"...sound of nature, haven't heard it since."

All these sounds were new to me, but it kinda ticked me off a bit that i woke up due to this, but the sounds of a stomach grumbling pushes the thoughts aside.
"Damn, just what i need to start the damn morning in this new world, i should have some beans in my bag, but that means i have to heat it up, damnit."

...
"Ngh..."
I grunted in pain, the last time before i got knocked out was getting hit in the face by a handle of a gun, what gun? I don't even know, i tried to move my arms to find out they're tied up and so are my legs.
'Wha?'

The smell of smoke enters my nostrils as i look around to locate the source...

"F-fire...?"
I said with a weak voice, my throat was a bit dry and the blow to the head still hurts.

???:"Hey you, your finally awake, you were trying to ambush me right? Got the tables turned on you right as you thought you got me."

That voice... It's the man from before, i tried to say something but i guess my stomach had something else in mind, it grumbled in which the man snickers, i guess he heard it.

???:"Now then, here, have this can of beans, in exchange i'll be asking questions."

This... is a bit humiliating for a Sarkaz Mercenary like me to lose to some Ursus Wanderer with a gun from Laterano, but my life is possibly on the line here, guess i'll have to play along for now.

The man pushed the can of beans towards me and loosened my ties a bit, but not enough to let me break free but enough to move my hands, wait, are those ties my cloak...?

If my cloak is used to tie my hands, then...
Oh hell, he saw my face.

[End of Chapter.]

Hello reader, thank you for spending time on reading this odd fanfiction, this time i'm trying a new method to atleast give more perspective and probably personality to the characters introduced in this story which is POV. Sorry if this chapter was a tad bit shorter than the usual, got caught up with some stuff, anyways i hope you enjoy and goodbye.

Small edit:Changed our local Sarkaz Mercs name to something more ok, also expect chapter 4 next day or two
