Chapter 24 - Hidden

Henry- *WAKES UP* Sera? Why you're blushing? Did something happen?

Sera- What!!!!!!! I'm not blushing and nothing happened!!!

Henry- Okay! Where did that guy go? He was using some kind of area magic. Before I go to tell you he knocked me out but he didn't intend to kill us.

Sera- Yeah because he's not a bad guy he was here looking for someone.

Henry- Did you know that your taste in men is horrible?

Sera- Shut up! He said he didn't kill the villagers but the men in the black clothes he killed them.

Henry- Well yeah he did say he didn't kill all of them but how much of it is true?

Sera- I don't know but he mentioned something about the Maker's plan and a group ruining the plans but he seemed shocked when he learnt you were the Prince of Shinokuni and before he left he said that we'll definitely meet again but the next time we meet it will be with Brook.

Henry- He mentioned Brook so that means we're the group he's talking about.

Sera- Yes that's what I thought but I think we should look around this village and investigate the men in black because their clothing is anti-magic.

Henry- Okay, you're right but why are you trusting that Ken guy? I think he's very dangerous.

Sera- Is not that I'm trusting him. It's just that his type of magic felt similar to Shoyo.

Henry- Your teacher?

Sera- Yes. She uses something similar to that. She can cast spells without an circle or even saying magical words. The thing that bothers me is that he says he's not a witch.

Henry- Well duh. He's a dude he's a wizard.

Sera- Shut up, wizards, witches, same damn thing.

Henry- Well anyways, this village just seems a little more odd that the one's we was in. Let's see if we can find anything.

Sera- Yeah, you're right but the other villages didn't have proper houses or anything, they just stayed on the outside or just have some kind of shed. This village though is proper. Have perfect housing and clothing was cleaner and everything. It's like this village had nobles or something staying among them or it was a village of nobles.

Henry- You're right but if you've noticed the other villages we went every of the villagers were killed, we never actually met any people from the outside villages. The first Village we went by was an illusion by Crowley just to give us information . This is the third village we've been by and this is a little after Romulas. We've been by 3 walls you can say. I'm including Shinokuni as one we've visited. There's a pattern.

Sera- I don't really get what you're trying to say.

Henry- Look at the location thing Crowley gave us. It shows us all the villages and Walls we passed by. If you look closely it forms a circle.

Sera- I still don't follow.

Henry- *STARTS DRAWING ON THE GROUND* We can say Shinokuni is here, the village is here, one right around here, village 2 the Sphinx right here, Asteria here, a village here but we didn't go because of Brook, Romulas right here and Reaper's village here. It's half of a magic circle because if you connect the dots, the Walls is like an destination.

Sera- Yeah I guess you're right.

Henry- What kind of magic circle is it?

Sera- It's a teleportation magic circle and I won't be surprised there is one between the walls because it'll be easier for those royals and nobles to travel around because they definitely won't take a chance to go on the outside and it's not really a magic circle. If it were I could have used magic without using chants and just say it like how Ken was doing it but I couldn't so that just makes another big question mark on Ken's magic.

Henry- Well that makes more sense I guess but there's also something bothering me.

Sera- Well what's that?

Henry- The markings around the village and I'm guessing it goes right around .

Sera- It's scratched here from were we came from.

Henry- I'm guessing it used to do something.

Sera- Well duh.

Henry- The trees.

Sera- Huh?

Henry- The trees are cut. The ones that were in the markings have been cut clean. Can you perform those same markings on a body? The markings looks like one word repeated right around.

Sera- I guess I can give it a try.

*MARKS AROUND A DEAD BODY*

Henry- It disappeared!

Sera- Yes so these markings were used to keep the village hidden but what I'm more surprised about is how you can be around dead bodies so easy.

Henry- Well, I'm not like your normal spoiled brat, I've always had a fascination about the outside world ever since William told me about how amazing the world was before it came to this.

Sera- William is your teacher who died if I'm not mistaken right?

Henry- Yes but anyways a magic circle to keep the village hidden, there must be a reason why the village had to be hidden.

Sera- Yes and it's very powerful and I'm not sure if it's a magic circle. It's different.

Henry- Well we got to find out somethings, let's start by looking for a library or something and start reading.

Sera- Yes, you're right.
