#mogra the bandit

[midnightluck]

Prompt MarcoAce where Marco terrorizes the bandits for neglecting/abusing Ace during his childhood.

I’ve been sitting on this for a while because I couldn’t figure it out. Marco doesn’t seem the type to be vengeful enough to do something like that, and regardless of whether or not Dadan and the bandits’ care was abusive, I can’t imagine Ace thought it was.

So here, have a different way Marco could have met the bandits:

~@~

“Oh, you don’t want to go upthere,” the woman says. “There’s bandits in these woods.”

“Bandits,” Marco repeats, andthe woman nods.

“Yeah, bandits. A rough gang,and they’ve been here for years. Don’t bother the town itself, not really, sowe let it go, but they’d catch a stranger walking into their woods.”

“Good,” Marco says, setting offinto the forest. The woman yells something behind him, but his hand clenchestight around the item in it and he sets his chin and steps forward.

The woods are light to startwith, but the trees get denser as he heads further in. It’s dark, here, butthere’s just enough light to see by. It’s hearing, though, that warnshim—there’s animal noises until there aren’t anymore, and Marco keeps his headup and his shoulders down.

Something moves behind him andMarco sidesteps easily.

“Well, now, what have we here?”a large, ugly person says, casually reeling back in an absolutely massive club.“You lost, stranger?”

“On the contrary, yoi,” Marcosays, and raises both hands in surrender. “I think I’m exactly where I need tobe.”

The bandit’s eyes go to hishands to check for weapons and stay there. “What—” they get out, and, “Isthat—”

Marco’s fingers tighteninstinctively around it. “I’m looking for Dadan,” he says. “I think she’ll wantto see me.”

“…yeah,” the bandit says. “Yeah,I—I think she will.”

Marco follows the bandit up thepath, towards a small clearing. There’s an array of similar people there, alllarge and perfectly arranged for maximum intimidation, and the woman in thefront has red curly hair and an axe as big as she is.

Marco swallows on memories andfocuses on keeping his pace steady.

“Well, well,” she starts, thenlooks up and catches the look on her subordinate’s face. “Magra. Somethingwrong?”

“He—Boss, it’s…”

Marco steps forward and asks,“Are you Dadan?”

Her eyes narrow and she haulsherself up to standing. “Who’s askin’?”

She’s not the tallest personhe’s ever seen, but she’s the tallest he’s seen recently, and that hurts too.He brings his hand forward and forces his fingers to uncurl around the necklacehe’s been carrying for far too long. “He,” Marco says, and his voice cracks,just a bit. “He said this was yours, yoi.”

She stares at the red beads, andeveryone else does too.

“He wanted to give it back,”Marco continues into the silence. “Said he was sorry he couldn’t carry it allthe way, and that it, at least, should come back home.”

Dadan, the mighty woman, sinksto her knees, right there in the clearing in the middle of the woods. “How dareyou,” she says blankly, but they both know she means how dare he.

But that was the problem withAce, even if he came by it honestly; the Gol men were always at their cruelestwhen they were trying to be kind. It was unintentional, probably, andthoughtless, but that never made it hurt less to those they left behind.

“I’m sorry,” Marco says, and hemeans for everything.

“Leave,” she says, and he nods,takes a step forward, and offers her the necklace. She lets him drop it intoher hands without looking up at him.

Marco turns and walks away, backthrough the forest. A wail rises behind him, and his shoulders hunch in as heputs his hands in his pockets and stares down at the path.

He’s getting real sick ofwalking away from grief.
