Chapter 123 - Vol. 9 - Chapter 5: The Lost Colony; Roanodare

Part 1 – The forest; Five years ago

"Bridget, Bridget; let´s have a snowball fight" A young Samantha (Age 11) says to Bridget as they walk in the snow. Bridget smiles and replies:

"Sure, let´s have some fun."

Bridget Wicca (Age 17) was a beautiful young girl with pure white skin; she had brown eyes, and black hair. She wore a long dress with a coat to cover herself from the snow. She was Samantha´s friend and guardian.

After having a snow fight, Bridget and the young Samantha sat below a tree as the image of the sun that was hiding behind the clouds warm them up a little. Samantha lays her head on Bridget´s lap and asks;

"Hey Bridget, when is mom going to return from her journey?"

"Very soon, you must be patient; your mother always says the patience is the key for success." Bridget says as she looks in the sky; however her face had tears in her eyes with a sad expression.

Samantha falls asleep in Bridget´s lap, Bridget pats her head slowly. A group of five women arrives with Bridget; thewomen are wearing long dresses, all wearing caps and gloves protecting themselves from the cold.

"Oh, and what do I owe the pleasure for the elders to be visiting me?" Bridget asks the woman with a fake smile. One of the woman steps forward and replies:

"You know why we are here. Unfortunately it is the time of year, and we have chosen the next tribute."

Bridget opens her eyes widely in sign of fear and asks;

"W-W-Who is it?"

The woman wearing a white cap points at Samantha and says:

"That little girl, the daughter of Martha Beldam"

Bridget begins to shake and asks; "But why her, please don´t do it mother." The woman looks at her with rage and says:

"Because her family was cursed by Alexandria and they need to be sacrificed."

"But she is far too young, plus she is the last of the Beldam, the family would disappear and there will no tribute to offer." Bridget says to her mother, her mother smiles and says:

"Don´t worry, once this unwanted child dies on the hand of the wendigo, he will disappear along with this winter, at least that is what Alexandria told me."

Samantha who was awake only look at the ground as she heard everything, Bridget sighs with her eyes close and asks:

"So, when is the ritual?"

"Tomorrow, prepare the child for her tribute, may God bless this sacrifice." Bridget´s mother replies as she and the other four women leave. Bridget begins to cry as she begins to say;

"Why must the people be sacrificed, why?"

Samantha´s eyes also filled with tears as she begins to think:

"Mother, were you a tribute as well?"

Part 2- Present Day; Village

Uriel and Samantha crossed the door and escaped from the wendigo. Samantha lost conscious during the events; Uriel carries her as they walk along the road made of stones. Uriel looks with a shocking expression the sky as snow falls covering the whole area. The pines, the rivers, the ground are white colored. Uriel continues walking with Samantha in his arms; he begins to see a town that gets bigger as he walks closer.

People are seen wearing colonial style clothing; the men are wearing colonial hats, hunting shirts with loose sleeves, fashionable low-heeled shoes. They are also wearing stockings or long socks and coats to cover themselves from the cold. The woman were wearing were wearing long dresses, capes, some caps to protect themselves from the cold.

The men were chopping some pine wood while the woman were doing some laundry and cooking outdoors. Uriel begins to walk to the town thinking:

"What is this place, this looks like a colony but the colonies were extinct centuries ago."

The townsfolk begin to see Uriel carrying Samantha; Uriel has his mariachi attire activated in order to prevent any surprise attack. They seem scared at Uriel because of his strange attire plus his amount of manna that they perceive. Uriel begins to hear people whispering:

"Who is this man, he is very handsome,

Why did he bring back the unwanted child, he will bring misfortune to the village,

We must kill him before he kills us."

Uriel hears what the people are saying and takes out his pistol, soon two women step forward and begin to gather manna in their hands. Uriel points at them and says:

"I don´t want to hurt you, I just came here with this girl who claims she belongs in this village."

"She doesn't belong here, you may leave now." One of the girls says as she releases a fire ball from her hands. Uriel responds by firing a small bullet clashing with the fire ball. The other girl fires an ice pick towards Uriel. He responds by shooting another bullet shattering it. The two girls look at each other and say:

"Intruder, you will be executed."

Both of them begin to charge manna from their hands and as soon as they are about to release it, a woman appears in front of them and says:

"That´s enough you two, I´m sure you are aware of this but this man is one of the four."

The girls stop their technique and with shocking expressions they begin to ask:

"Is he one of the calamities?"

The old woman turns around and nods. The girls get a pale expression and run behind the old woman and begin to say:

"We´re sorry, it was all Betty´s fault."

One of the girl says, the other looks at her angry and replies:

"You´re the one that told me to attack, Abi."

The girls stare at each other with furious expressions, Uriel sigh with his eyes close and puts down his gun. The old woman turns around and screams:

"Shut up, you two are making a scene again."

The two girls stop fighting and vow to the old woman says:

"WE´RE SORRY, PLEASE FORGIVE US."

The old woman turns around and greets Uriel:

"I´m sorry for the girl´s behavior, my name is Mercy Wicca and I´m the one in charge of this village."

Mercy extends her hand and says:

"WELCOME TO THE LOST COLONY OF ROANDARE."

Uriel looks at Mercy with a clueless expression and screams:

"WWWHHHHAAAATTTTT!!!"

Part 3 – Area 5X - A few days before

Katsumi looks outside the window as she has a worried expression regarding the news she received. Johanna left with his superior to Capital City; they had a specific mission to accomplish.

"You sure you are alright?" Heidi asks Katsumi who surprises herself. Katsumi comes back to her senses and replies:

"I'm sorry, I was just thinking about some circumstances"

"I see, so you are thinking about Uriel Di Fiore" Heidi says as she chuckles, Katsumi reacts nervously as she replies:

"A-A-Ah, that's not it, and even if I were, it's just for the mission's sake."

"Well if I saw Allan go with another woman, of course I would be worried about him." Heidi says while blushing, Katsumi lowers her head and says:

"I'm just worried that he would do something reckless, that's all."

At that moment, three people enter the base. One of them screams with a smile:

"WHERE IS MY SISTER? WHERE IS KATSUMI?"

Katsumi enters in a state of shock; Heidi puts a serious tone and comments:

"It seems the "Lion King" has arrived, Katsumi try to stay calm, remember that you have Allan and me as well."

Katsumi nods in agreement. Allan walks outside his office and greets them:

"Well, well the "Lion King" in person along with two lower trunk agents."

"It's been a while, Allan Carter; I see you haven't change at all." The man says with a smile, as he extends his hand. Allan shakes his hand and replies:

"Welcome to the Area 5X, Raions Miyazono"

Raions Miyazono (Age 28) is Katsumi´s older brother. He has a slim muscular body, white skin. He has orange hair with a red tuft and red eyes. He is wearing a black suit, with an unbuttoned white shirt in up to his chest.

"Thank you for the warm welcoming, I brought along some of my subordinates with me." Raions says as he vows his head in sign of respect. His subordinates step forward to introduce themselves. A large man with muscular body steps forward and vows his head:

"It´s a pleasure to meet you my name is Ginkuma Ito and it is... ummmm. I forgot."

"You idiot, you must finish the sentence." - (SLLLAAP) - A girl with short hair slaps Ginkuma in his head. The girls vows down and introduces herself:

"My name is Risu Akayami, and what my partner was trying to say is that it is an honor to meet a Primary Root."

Ginkuma Ito (Age 24) is a very tall man, brown skin and orange eyes. He has black hair and a muscular body; he is taller than Raions and powerful when it comes to brute strength, however he is not too smart and often forgets what he is doing.

Risu Akayami(Age 21) is a young woman with the appearance of a little girl. She has short red hair, with hazel colored eyes. She does not have a developed body, she is considered "flat" by his friends plus she is very short in height. She is also very short tempered and often gets mad at Ginkuma who forgets everything.

"The honor is mine to receive the visit of three of our strongest members." Allan says to the three of them. Raions sees Katsumi coming down the stairs of the second floor.

(FFFLLLAAASSSHHH)

In a blink of an eye, Raions appears in front of Katsumi and hugs her saying:

"It´s been a while, how have you been my worthless excuse for a sister."

Katsumi begins to shake of fear and replies:

"It´s been a while Nii-san, I am doing well." Raions smiles and says with a low-tone;

"You´ve got stronger, Katsumi."

"I have been training Nii-san. I try to be stronger every day." Katsumi replies, Raoins extends his arm and says:

"Well then, let´s see how strong you´ve become."

Katsumi opens her eyes wider as she feels Raions killing intent, Raions is about to attack Katsumi however, Heidi grabs his arm and says:

"That´s enough, fighting among members is strictly prohibited"

Raions lets go of Katsumi and begins to laugh saying:

"I was just fooling around, don´t get too serious. Anyway, let me know about the assignment we have to do."

Raions teleports back to where Allan was; Allan looks at him with rage as he says:

"Let´s go to my office; I will explain your assignment."

Raions looks at Katsumi and with a sarcastic expression his screams:

"I WAS NICE SEEING YOU AGAIN, WORTHELESS IMOTO-SAN"

They enter into Allan´s office; Katsumi drops to the floor on her knees and begins to shake with tears in her eyes. Heidi holds her tightly and she thinks:

"That guy was really trying to hurt his own sister. Katsumi just what the hell happened in the past?"

Heidi looks at Katsumi and says:

"I think it´s better for you to return to Sun City. You must stop the one that is taking the students away."

Katsumi stands up and whipping her tears from her eyes, she changes her expression to a serious one and says:

"I understand, I´m sorry for expressing such weakness. I will head to Sun City and stop Olivia once and for all." Heidi smiles as they begin to walk down the stairs once again.
