The Unfeeling Smile
It was a cold day in Dawn Academy. The rain was both heavy and bone chilling, accompanied by winds so cold it would feel as if your face was being bitten by countless fire ants. The clouds were dark as flashes of lightning illuminated a dark desolate alley like section of the academy. Even if just for a few seconds per flash, they revealed scenes of appalling taste.
There was a woman on the ground, her eyes welled with tears that had fused with the sorrowful rain. Her age would perhaps be no older than a girl just entering her freshman year but there was a man, a man of muscular size atop her, holding her down with his weight and brutish strength. The girl was screaming piercing the air itself but drowned out by the booming thunder. The man driven by lust had began tearing at the girls top and when she tried to shield it he immediately began tearing his way through her durable canvas jeans. The girl was almost half naked gasping for breath as the mans frame was a burden on her dainty body. Then right when his hand was about to tear a garment that shielded the girls innocence completely a sharp pain would flow through his hand. His fingers each individually falling to the ground in small pools of blood that streamed with the puddles of rain.
The Man howled and withdrew himself from innocent girl stumbling back as if being punched by a gorilla a thin pointed blade aimed at his throat. The savior turned to the girl, who was in a state of shock and terror paralyzed, her eyes as if seeing ghosts and her body crawling into a fetal position praying for comfort. The savior was the man named Rhez Noradz donning his prestigious, though now soaked, cavalry uniform. He returned his angered gaze to the man about to commit the sin of absolute lust with the blade at his throat.
"You leave now trash. So help me I'll take away whats left of your other hand and then you will truly have nothing to pleasure your sick little self with. Never return to this campus, your not welcome. 3...2.."
The man stumbled on to his feet clutching his bleeding fingerless hand showing himself to be a terrified coward he fled with a stupid posture nearly falling again. He cursed at Rhez once he got enough distance but Rhez raised his blade once more at his head from that distance. He immediately fled in terror again even though the distance apart from the blade was large.
Rhez was about to return to the girls aid when he noticed a blue face and skinny robbed body in a flash of lightning. It was simply standing un afraid unmoved and had been watching what was happening from start to finish. He immediately shouted at him.
"You! How long have you been here? Were you watching this whole event? What kind of heartless horny b*****d are you! Your actions make you no better than that man! What do you have to say for yourself!"
........
The smiling man stayed silent. The rain picked up as it grew even more pelting. The Smiling Man cocked his head to the side as if he was taunting Rhez. Though in retaliation Rhez sheathed his blade.
"I have no time for your games. This girl needs help and if you are not willing to help then get out of the way."
Rhez soon moved to the girl and lifted her fragile traumatized body. He slowly began shuffling through the mud and rain to exit the alley and get the girl to the nurses office. The cold was tiring and weakened Rhez physically making the tread toward the exit an arduous one. Right before he about to leave though the robbed man descended in front him from the sky simply blocking his way in a most irritating fashion.
"Move damn it!"
Rhez tried to go around but the smiling man simply stepped to left blocking him again. Then Rhez would attempt to move right but again the man with the mask would halt his progress. This continued three more times only increasing Rhez's aggravation. He had no energy left to attempt persuasion and seemed pointless to even try and persuade something so stupid. Finally he set the girl down lightly under some form of shelter to keep her body dry and drew his blade.
"If that is how you truly want it. Then this is what you truly deserve. HAVE AT YOU!"
Rhez began flinging accurate thrusts and assaults on the masked man but he evaded leaping in the air then descending leaping then descending. Finnaly Rhez's stamina was at wits end. He panted the cold and the failed strikes were making his attacks use twice his energy. The Smiling Man in turn seemed unaffected as all he did was avoid. The Smiling Man the crossed his arms and shook his head.
...............
b*****d!
Rhez made a final desperate strike shouting, then lunging forward with what remainder of strength he had left the masked man leaped backward but his shoulder was grazed drawing a slight blood and tearing the robe's shoulder half exposing skin that's complexion could not be determined in the dark. Rhez soon collapsed after. The Smiling Man nodded. He didn't expect to be hurt apparently from such common attacks but something out of the ordinary would certainly cause some effect. Of course this was when The Smiling Man wasn't expecting anything more to happen.
The Smiling Man walked toward the still incapacitated girl. He ran his fingers along the back of her thigh then played with her feet as if trying to tickle them. He did the same with the girls arm pits and neck only to get no reaction. The Smiling Man would feel disappointed. As if he expected the mentally damaged girl to laugh or smile or magically spring back to her old again. But she did not. She would only whine or wince as if in pain from being touched by The Smiling Man.
The Smiling Man shook his head again. Then faded into the shadow leaving the now unconscious girl and the latter unconscious Rhez. A pair of eyes witnessed The Strange Man leave. It was the Groundskeeper. William Rosewood. Who had just seen a rather peculiar man trounce on one of his more peculiar plants. Something that many of the students have come to realize, was most intolerable...
~The Smile Becomes Hidden For Now~
((This post was designed to describe the dodge mechanic. If The Smiling Man chooses not to partake in combat he will evade all common blows entirely with great agility. Only falling victim to things out of the ordinary. A surprise attack from hiding in the bushes or the first time he's seen a form of magic. Or an attack coming from all directions.))
