Chapter 21 - we'll be together

??? POV

I saw him walk away as the wind blew on him, making his figure look cool, and he saved me too. I was thinking "I wonder if I can meet him again and become his friend?" But my thoughts were cut off when a guard tapped my shoulder

"Princess, are you alright? You disappeared and worried us" he told me, and I nodded to tell him yes, but instantly I felt eyes at me, I looked up and saw a man that had black hair with a white streak on it, the shadow of him loomed near, making me want to bow down to it for an unknown reason. The man waved at me and I waved back, but when my hand went over my view of his body the first time, it disappeared, and a crow was there instead

The youngest guard, looked up and saw the crow "oh, so you where waving to the crow, come on kid, let's go to the guest that was reserved for you" I looked at the guard and smiled, "it must have been my imagination" was what I thought

All the guards helped me get back to my parents, but I kept thinking about Shiro, he was so cool

Narrators POV

Shin jumped and landed next to Shiro "so kid, what do you think about your new girlfriend?" Shiro looked at Shin and said "we're not even friends yet, and we probably won't meet each other again" 

"You're too smart for a 10 year old", Shin told him. "You're not old enough to be a responsible father" Shiro responded, still thinking that Shin was only 18, which although was an adult it was still considered young for raising a child

However, I'm a different country, was a man with ash grey hair, wearing normal clothing, but the most noticeable thing was the two grey horns on his head, and bright orange eyes

Behind him where two men and two women, which looked older than him, the women looked the same, both had black hair, were short, and had dark skin, the only difference between them was their eyes, both where heterochromic, red and royal blue, but they were on different sides, and finally they had wings the same colour as their eyes

Next to them, a very muscular bald man stood, his yellow mustache shining, his axe huge, but not hindering him, and his wings huge, needing to be folded into themselves to fit in the cave like Corridor, but his gentle green eye's contrasted to the rest of him

On the opposite side, was a man with a smooth but short beard, A grey robe covering him, and a silver wooden staff comfortably in his hands, his navy blue eyes holding great wisdom

"When will we get to the end? Coal" the one with the red eye on her eye said shyly, slightly nervous about being where they were

Coal put the torch he was holding underneath his face, making it glow eerily, he smiled wickedly, making the girl asking the question scared, he said "fufufu, it was fun having you around for some time, Eve, but this is where our journey ends, die for me" 

Eve screamed in fear, easily scared from what Coal said, but her nearly identical twin rushed towards Coal and punched him, which he barely dodged, "Don't joke like that to my sister asshole" she said angrily

Coal was looking at her with slight fear shown in his eyes, he replied to what she said with "yes Ava, I won't do it again, I promise" with a slightly fearful, but an unnoticeably playful voice

"Wiz, make sure he doesn't do anything" Ava told the wizard, who nodded in response

Meanwhile Coal lost his fearful gaze and started laughing, and told Eve "sorry, it's just so fun scaring you" 

Eve pouted, blushing out of embarrassment while mad, looking cute and making Coal pat her. She didn't expect it and recoiled in a blush 

"Please stop now leader, she deserves respect" the muscular man asked Coal, who told him "Fine Brian, I'll stop, and sorry Eve, I can't hold back"

Knowing that he was sincere in his apology, Eve accepted it but asked the same question again, this time Coal responded with a slightly serious answer, saying "well, this floor is the 75th, and we're almost at the end, and finally, we're at the door" 

Coal walked towards a door at the end, opening it, and inside was a giant skeleton which was wearing many jewel's, and holding a gold hammer

"Alright, who wants to take him? Wiz, or Eve and Ava?" Coal asked his teammates, Wiz decided to give up the XP, and let the twins fight it, and although Eve was nervous to fight the fact that Ava was fighting with her gave her some comfort

The two entered the room, making the skeleton instantly focus on her, it pointed it's finger at her and magic circles appeared on the floor, summoning multiple skeletons

But before the skeletons could do anything to Ava and Eve, the rest of the party fought the smaller skeletons, their teamwork was astounding and they complimented each others skills, Wiz with long range save healing, Brian with absolute power, and Coal with his quick thinking and adjusting to be able to help the others deal with them easier

This let the twins not need to worry about the smaller skeletons, and keeping her distant, Eve started to cast an incantation, but it would take a while to complete, so Ava distracted the skeleton

First she threw a dagger at it, gaining it's attention, it swung it's hammer at her, but because of the weight of the hammer the swing was slow, she jumped out of the way and landed close to the boss monster, it retracted the hammer, making the handle smaller, but by the the he was gonna use it Ava was already somewhere else near

She grabbed the dagger she threw earlier that landed on the floor, and threw it again, and it hit the exact same spot as before, making the crack it had deeper, but that didn't matter anyway since the skeleton felt a sense of danger near, a giant wave of mana that had a holy element, which made its survival instincts scream to dodge, but before it could a beam of white light hit it, absolutely annihilating it

When it was gone, white particles floated, and transformed Into it's hammer and five bracelets

"Good job you two" Coal told them, offering a high five to the team, which they all accepted "now let's see the loot, they are monsters in a dungeon so their body's and aren't gonna be available to make something out of"

Coal was about to go to the items on the floor, but he saw the look on Eve's face, and gave her a head pat, making her smile cutely

The others didn't want to ruin the moment, so they watched, and Wiz got the items, putting the hammer into the ring as it was too heavy for him

"So when you two are done, let's get back to business" Ava told them, making them snap back into reality. "Sure, what did we get?"

Wiz showed the items, and trim the hammer out, and while it fell Brian caught it, and they decided to let him keep it as it was gonna be a useful item for him

But as for the bracelets, Wiz used a medium level appraisal, which showed that the bracelets where mostly useless, he proposed that they should get rid of them but Coal declined, thinking of a better alternative

"We've been together for a year, maybe it's time for us to have a sign to show that we're us, I'll make something later, but for now these bracelets will do the trick" Coal said, convincing the others easily

They each took a bracelet that were colored different and had a skull like design, a grey one was Coals, royal blue for Eve, navy blue for Wiz, red for Ava, and green for Brian

"Alright team, this dungeon has been cleared, let's get the reward at the end and leave" Coal told the rest of his team
