The Extra's Survival

A man panting heavily was running through the crowd. He wiped off the sweat trickling from his forehead.

His face was covered in a black hood. Pushing aside the crowd, he made his way towards the noble ’s stand.

Though they were knights who formed a defence line forbidding the commoners, from reaching the nobles, his goal wasn ’t to breach it but rather to get as close as possible to the line.

He would try to reach as close as possible to the noble stand and from there will throw the bomb.

He covered his trail under the crowd and underneath his cloak, he pulled out a big black spherical ball.

He squatted down and hide the big ball under his cloak from anyone ’s eyes.

His heart was beating faster, after all,what he was going to do carry a huge risk but still, he had to do it.

He can ’t mess up the plan and get caught before finishing his job.

This was there chance to chance to shine. They will not get an opportunity like this if it went wrong today.

He grabbed the ball firmly and aimed it at the noble stand after surveying the area and was about to throw the ball when he felt someone ’s grip on his leg.

He staggered, as someone pulled him down and fall onto the ground.

Under the loud cheers of the crowd and huge mass of people, no one noticed his fall rather people started to climb on his body and used him as a stepping stone unknowingly, to see the royal ’s and nobles ’ faces and enjoy the Parade that was about to begin.

He let go of the ball and raised his hands to protect himself but before he could pull himself back, he felt a dagger inching closer to his skin and slicing his neck.

Before his death, he only heard three words.

”You are just worthless . ”
