Chapter 20 - Chapter 19: Oleander ( 3 )

Samael holds his sword as he looks at his enemy planning how he would attack. As his enemy attacks him Samael dodge his attack and counter by kicking his abdomen as he then attacks his leg and points his sword to his neck.

" That's it. The match is over" Ignez said, stopping the fight.

Samael smiled as he reached out his hand for his training partner.

" You're getting stronger as the days pass by." the young man said, smiling as he looked at Samael reaching for his hand.

" Well every brother here is very strong, that's why I need to do my best to keep up." Samael said, smiling as he helped the young man stand.

Samael watched as some of the brothers came back carrying their loot and some hostages.

" It looks like brother 3rd came back victorious again." the young man besides Samael said.

" Yeah, I wonder if those women are nobles, their skins are too white to be a regular hostage." another Ignez said, wrapping his arms around Samael.

" So that's why we'll be having a feast tonight" Samael said looking at their 3rd brother.

" Yes, don't worry if you work hard you'll also be able to do what your 3rd brother can." Ignez said, smiling at Samael.

" If I can be as strong as our 3rd brother I'll be able to have as many wives as I can." the young man said.

" As if you can !" Ignez said as he tackled the young man.

As they continue the training a brother then calls Samael's name. Samael then looked at the running young man towards him. After reaching his place the young man catches his breath as he then looks at Samael.

"Samael the first brother is calling for you": The young man said as he tried to compose himself.

The first brother is calling him? But why ? Did he do something wrong? Samael thought and thought back if he did something worth being called.

" Do you know why the first brother is calling me ?" Samael asked the young man.

" He didn't tell me. He just asked me to call you but it seems that the second brother and third brother are there as well.

" Did you do something to be called Samael?" Ignez asked as he wrapped his arms around Samael.

" Of course not, don't compare me to you who's always being called by the second brother because of something I do. " Samael said as he removed Ignez 's arms around his shoulders.

Samael begins to walk towards the first brother's place and when he reaches the place other brothers immediately tell the first brother that he has arrived.

" You can come in now." a brother said.

Samael slowly walked inside the place and there he saw the first brother sitting at the center of the room. He had a huge muscular body, tan skin, ash colored hair and sky colored eyes with a scar on his left eye. He heard he got them after fighting a knight. The first brother wears a white robe with gray colored robe inside and a black belt on his waist making him look more like an honorable man rather than the leader of the bandits.

Samael then looked at the man sitting at the right side of the room calmly drinking his tea. He also has a muscular body but not as muscular as the first brother. He has ash colored hair that goes past his nape and a pair of hazel colored eyes. He wears a black robe with cloud patterns on it and a white belt on his waist. Samael recognized this man as the second brother; he is also said to be the brain of the group and even if the second doesn't usually go to the missions personally, his physical strength cannot be underestimated. It is said that the second brother can go toe to toe with the first brother..

Samael then looked at the man sitting on the left side of the room. This man just like the previews two,he also has a muscular body and in terms of physical appearance he is second only to the first brother in being muscular. He also has ash colored hair like the previews two and sky colored eyes like the first brother. He wears a brown leather jacket with white fur on the collar with no undergarment showing off his body. He wears dark gray pants with huge belts on the hips. This is indeed the third brother who just returned from his mission.

" Elder brothers." Samael said as he bowed down to show them respect.

The first brother nodded his head as he looked at Samael clearly pleased. " You may raise your head brother, you don't need to be so formal with us. We are brothers. " the first brother said, smiling.

" First brother, I heard that you called me? " Samael said as he looked at the first brother.

" Indeed. Samael, how are you feeling?" the first brother asked.

" I am doing well. The Physician said that I am fully healed now. I am really grateful to the elder brothers, without my elder brothers I would probably be under the ground by now." Samael said as he bowed his head again.

" It was nothing brother, rather you should thank Pearl she's the one who begged us to let you stay here." the first brother said laughing.

" Indeed elder brother I'm always thankful to Pearl for what she did." Samael said smiling.

" Now Samael I heard that you're a very talented warrior." the first brother said, looking seriously at him.

" Brother you're giving me too much credit, there're many brothers here that're more talented than I am" Samael said looking at his first brother. Thinking about why the first brother said such a thing to him and for some reason he feels something isn't good is going to happen.

The first brother laughed again as he then looked at Samael. " You're too humble Samael, you should give yourself more credit." he said as he stood from his seat and walked towards him. He put his muscular hand on his right shoulder as his gray eyes looked at him seriously.

" Samael, we're planning to give you your first mission as our brother and the one that will be leading your mission is the second brother. " the first brother said as his grip on his shoulder tightened, silently telling him that he had no option but to agree.

" Of course brother, it would be my honor to work with the second brother." Samael said as he looked at his first brother showing his sincerity.

The first brother looked at him for a second more as he smiled and pats his shoulder." we'll be counting on you then" the first brother said laughing.

After that the celebration for the third brother starts. Samael watched at the side with a glass of alcohol in his hand as he watched his brothers laugh and dance around the fire. Samael's smile never disappeared on his face but the whole time the mission is the only one that's going on his mind.
