Chapter 40 - Chapter 19: The city

After breakfast they head out to continue their journey they finally reached a city in Vanir and stopped to resupply Morgan looked up at the buildings around them "So this is Hjältarnas Stad?" Sue smiled and replied "Ya it's the largest city in the southwest Vanir from what I heard it was built by hero's a few hundred years ago as such the architecture of the city is different from others cities on the continent." All around them were skyscrapers reaching to the sky's with glass windows. Morgan had never been to such an interesting city she stared in wonder, while Mia was feeling sick looking up at all the building, and Ella was to focused on what Akira was looking at. He looked at the buildings and smiled "It kind of feels like home." "Really Sojiro?" "Ya where I came from cities like this are found all across the world each with their own style and layout." All around them people were walking to reach jobs or just go to markets and they were a mix of different humans some looked Japanese, others looked Scandinavian, while others looked American. "There are so many people here." Akira smiled "Maybe to you guys, but back in my world a crowd like this are fairly common." "It's going to take some getting use to for me Akie." "Well we're not staying here for to long so don't worry about it." She smiled at his response. They headed to the market to stock up for the long journey and Akira couldn't help, but marvel at all the different products with some mages using ice magic to keep their stalls cold to keep meat or produce fresh longer. They even saw appliances like fridges and oven He couldn't believe that in world mostly. consisting of medieval European castle would have modern conveniences. For Morgan it was if she stepped into another world "This place is so alien to me." "Ya guess it would to you." "And just what does that mean?" She was standing in front of him "Look all I'm saying is that for someone who lives in a world with castle and magic seeing things from a modern world like the one I come from isn't common." She crossed her arms "I guess your right." "Hey why don't you explore this place a little more while I get the supplies." Morgan looked confused "Are you sure?" Akira nodded "We may not be here for awhile so why not." After their exchange Morgan continued to explore the market as she continued to marvel at everything someone caught her eye it was a girl in cloak standing in an alley way Morgan was shocked it was one of bandits that they saw a couple of days ago. As soon as she noticed her the girl darted back into the alley Morgan decided to go after her as she followed her the girl stopped she turned to look at Morgan and she was surprised "Hey aren't you Fay?" She took off her hood and answered "Ya is that a problem?" "No not at all I'm just wondering what your doing here?" She answered "Well if you most know I'm looking to help you." "Help me why?" Fay gave this confused look "I'm saving you from that hero." Morgan was confused by her answer "Why would I need to be rescued from Akira?" "Because the person who hired me told me so." Now Morgan was curious who in the world would say that. "Ok I'll follow you not because Akira kidnapped me, but to see who would say such things about him." Fay lead the way down the alley way as they reached the end they came up to a strange looking building. They enter it and creates line the wall and the are stacked in the middle. It was lite with strange looking torch's hanging from the ceiling with no flame, and their were people dressed in armor with a crest on their chest that Morgan knew all to well. "Wait your guards from Hjälte why would you be here?" Her question was answered by someone behind her. "Why because I'm here Morgan." Morgan recognized the voice and as she turned to look at the figure all she could feel was fear and dread.

Akira had been walking around the market for awhile and now was ready to head back to the cart. However he couldn't find Morgan in the crowd. He had gone in the direction she had, but couldn't find her. He started to get worried when Emily and Ella came up to him "Hey Sojiro are you done with the shopping yet?" "Ya I'm done, have you two seen Morgan?" Both shock their heads "Sorry Kira I haven't seen her." "Nor have I." He was now worried "Ok we need to start looking for her spread out and.." as he was saying this a group of armed men surrounded them all of them were wearing armor with a crest Akira didn't really recognize "Evildoer by order of the authority of Hjälte city your under arrest." Akira just stood there with a dumbfounded look on his face "Seriously it took you guys this long to find me? I mean I could found someone faster then you guys." He just stood there mocking them. They repeated their threat "Evildoer by order of the authority of Hjälte city your under arrest come quietly or we will use force." Akira looked at them "Normally I would ask those who aren't planning on dying now to leave, but I'm guessing your being paid enough not to care." Akira grab one of his swords and then cast a spell "Illusion magic level 9 private space." A glow went up around them enveloping them in a box. The crowd around them kept walking not paying any mind to the beginnings of a brawl "So Ella, Emily do you want in on the action?" "No I think I'll just cheer you on Sojiro." "Nah this is your fight Kira." He shrugged "Ok though I won't guarantee it will be pretty." As the guards ran at him they quickly fell either bisected or behead until their leader was all that remained "So since I've been so gracious as to let you live can you explain who brought you here?" The guard smiled "And why would I do that?" "Because if you don't I won't end your pathetic life!" "Ha your a hero what would you...yaaagh." As he spoke Akira plunged his katana into the guards leg "Oh no that's not how I do things you see either you talk or I break you!"

Of all the people Morgan wanted to see standing in front of her Arthur Axel wasn't anywhere on the list "Why are you here? How did you find us?" Gripping her staff Morgan could only cower in fear. "My sweet Morgan my family didn't spare a taowusand looking for you or that stupid clay ranked hero it just took a bit what with you guys jumping around to different places." "How did you find us?" Arthur had a cruel smile on his face "Why that thief over there. I ran into her after your little run in with and she said she could find you guys so I hired her and she lead me straight to you." Morgan looked at Fay with anger in her eyes with Fay looking out in confusion "Hey look I don't know what kind of lover spat your going through but I'm pretty sure your supposed to thank your rescuer?" She couldn't hold back her anger any longer "You idiot Arthur isn't..." she stopped when he got up behind her she shivered in fear As he spoke "Ah Morgan you shouldn't be saying things like that to someone who help you reunite with..." as he spoke Morgan had attempted to slap him. However he grab her wrist and immediately punched her in the gut she crumbled to the ground. Fay jumped up in shock "What are you doing?" "She tried to hit me so I punished her." Fay clenched her fist in anger "But what gave you the right to due that?" "The fact that she's now my plaything." Fay's shock was immeasurable she couldn't believe she had work for someone like him how had she let herself be roped in again she was angry at what Arthur had said, but she was angrier at herself for doing it again and without thinking she drew her knife and jumped in front of Morgan. Arthur glared at her in announce "What are you doing?" "I'm tired of being the pawn of men like you no matter who it is people from this world or heroes your all the same. You all believe everything is yours for the taking!" "I don't have time for this." Arthur snapped his fingers and the guards pulled their swords, but they were stopped by a man standing behind Fay. Morgan looked up at the man and with a smile on her face said his name "Akira." He didn't say a word he just looked at Arthur then throw something at his feet. As he looked down he was horrified to see the head of the guards leader lying on the ground. "Sorry it took longer then expected to interrogate that guy. So we meet again you penciled dicked mother fucker!"
