Chapter 242 - Chapter 242 A Powerful Kidnapper In The Crowd

As Thomas entered the inn room with the help of Jules Mira stared at him and said "You smell like blood." Lily stared at Thomas and asked "Did you kill someone?" Mary also stared at Thomas and asked "Or did you get hurt?" Before Thomas could even answer Mira walked over to him and said "I can tell by the smell that's it's your own blood." Jules nodded and said "Yeah we went after a unicorn and he underestimated it, lucky the unicorn didn't use any real magic against us." Mira lifted his shirt and asked "Will he be alright?" Jules nodded and said "He might take a while to heal but he should be fine after a resting for a while." Thomas held his hand in front of himself without saying a word. As a mana door appeared in front of him Jules asked "Hey what do you think your doing?" Thomas walked over to the door and mumbled "I'll be back in a few days, don't worry too much about me." Lily stared at Thomas shocked as she shouted "He's seriously gonna rest and take it easy without us needing to do anything?" Mira glanced at Lily and said "This is pretty unusual, maybe he's starting to value his life more and learnt that pushing himself will only cause him to be injured more." Jules stared at them and asked "Is him resting really all that unusual?" Lily glanced at him and said "We had to chain him down just to get him to rest and even when we did it it didn't last more then five minutes." Jules stared at them and said "Well that's quite the story, I think I should go." Once he was gone Mary glanced at Mira and asked "How long do you think papa will need to rest?" Mira stared at Mary and said "He probably won't last for more then a day so he'll probably be back in a few hours." Mira glanced at Lily and Mary as she asked "Is there anything you two would like to do in the meantime?" Lily stood there and said "I heard a king was stopping by, maybe we should take a look at him." Mary stared at Lily and asked "But won't they try to kill us?" Lily stared at her and said "Not all kings are bad, I'm sure this one is nice, or at least won't try to kill us." Mira stared at them and asked "Are you talking about the king that is suppose to arrive here today to discuss things with one of the guilds." Lily nodded and said "Yeah we might be able to meet him." Mira glanced at Mary and asked "Do you wanna see the king too?" Mary nodded and said "I Wanna see if he really isn't a bad person." Mira smiled and said "Okay we can leave right now and wait along with the crowds of people who are also anticipating his arrival." As the three of them arrived in the crowd Mira glanced at Lily and Mary as she said "Please try not to get separated, it will be very hard to find each other in this crowd if we lose sight of one another." Mary and Lily both nodded as they said "Okay we won't run off." As dozens upon dozens of people lined the main walk way waiting for the kings arrival Lily glanced at Mira and asked "How long are we gonna have to wait?" Mira glanced at her and said "It shouldn't be long." As the sound of marching was heard in the distance everyone turned and began to cheer. Mira glanced at the noise and said "It looks like they're here." As Mira glanced back Mary and Lily were both gone. Mira began to look around frantically as she called out there names and asked "Where did you guys go?" As Mira seen a man wearing a hood she raised her hand to him and said "Stop or I'll tear through you with my magic." The man glanced at Mira and pulled out a sword as he said "Try anything and your likely to die, now back off." Mira began to hurl sharp pieces of ice towards them as she said "I warned you!" The man swung the sword twice and said "Your attacks are useless, I'm taking these two with me, you can thank yourself for being useless." Mira glanced down at her chest and seen two massive stab wounds as she coughed up some blood and collapsed to the floor. Mira glanced at him and said "I'll get you for this." The man began to walk away as he said "Don't bother, this blade had poison on it, you won't make it any further then this." Mira glanced at the wound and mumbled "No wonder it hasn't healed yet." Once the man was out of sight the wound began to slowly heal itself and people began to surround her as they asked "What happened, did anyone see?" As Mira stood she looked around and mumbled "He couldn't have gotten too far, I need to find him." Mira began to run off in the direction she seen him walk away in as she shouted "Has anyone seen a suspicious looking man walk by?" As Mira glanced around she said "I can ask The Eternal Flame for their assistance, I'm sure they'll be able to find them in no time." As Mira arrived in the guild she glanced at Sarah and Jules and said "I need your help." Jules stared at her and asked "What's wrong?" Mira stared at Jules and said "Mary and Lily got kidnapped and I can't find the man who did it." Jules stared at her and asked "Are you serious?" Sarah ran out the door and said "I'll alert the town guards about the situation, I'm sure they'll help." Jules walked out of the door and said "I'll ask around, I'm sure Thomas won't be too happy to hear about this when he gets back, we better deal with this now before we have a whole incident around the town." Mira followed him and asked "What are you talking about?" Jules glanced at her and said "If he activates his magical aura while he's angry at that man he might do more then subdue him, he might kill him and dozens of others." Mira stared at him and said "If he lashes out he's more likely to activate it and kill dozens of people." Jules nodded and said "Yeah that won't be too good, so we have to find those two now!" As Jules walked away Mira ran in the opposite direction and said "We have to find them." Mira began to walk up to various people and ask if they had seen any suspicious looking man walk by with two young girls. As she continued to look around she sighed and said "It's hopeless, this city is too large to hope to find them." As a guard wearing a helmet approached Mira he said "Excuse me mama, we have some information regarding the two you are searching for." Mira stared at them and said "You do?" The man nodded and said "We managed to find his hideout after witnessing him bringing a few children into an abandoned building." Mira stared at him and said "You have to take me there quickly!" The Guard nodded and said "Then if you'd please follow me." Mira followed him into an alleyway and nodded as she said "Of course, but we have to safe them quickly or else-" the man sliced her throat and said "I heard they found some beaten up woman laying on the side of the street, although I didn't expect you to survive." Mira held her throat as blood gushed out of it and mumbled "Your the kidnapper?" The man took the helmet off and smiled as he said "Take a good look, it's the last one you'll get." As her throat healed she stood up and said "Tell me where you took them!" The man stared at her and said "Your still alive?" The man stared at her throat and chest as he said "Come to think of it those wounds are healed now." Mira raised her hand to him and shouted "Give them back!" The man smiled and said "Go to hell already lady, your not getting those two kids back, I can probably sell them for a pretty good price." The man shoved the sword through Mira's stomach and said "Besides my boss wouldn't appreciate me letting the merchandise run away." As he pulled the sword out Mira collapsed to the ground and mumbled "This poison is too strong." The man shoved the sword through Mira's back and said "Just die already!" As Mira screamed out in pain she heard footsteps approaching as she glanced and said "No, don't come back here, he'll kill you too." As Mira seen Thomas standing there holding the compass she asked "What are you doing back already?" Thomas glared at the man and asked "What the hell do you think your doing?"
