A while before
Ebony was following the made silently, she was observing her surrounding. They arrived at the kitchen, the maid was showing her every thing calmly and answering every question of Ebony even though it sounded weird to her, questions like '' do we really need to eat cooked meat? ''. Ebony was like an innocent girl and enjoyed learning, little by little Ebony and the maid became more casual and time flew by and soon it was noon.
Ebony was going to meet with Dayan when she was stopped by a woman, a strong looking woman. She was wearing a training leather armor and black military clothes beneath. She was looking at Ebony with cold eyes, her golden eyes and her crimson her gave the impression of looking to fire.
" You should quit this place quickly." She said while walking closer to Ebony. She was beautiful not as beautiful as Ebony but she was more tall at least standing at 195 cm while Ebony was only standing at 187 cm. When the two were close, Ebony asked with caution, she knew the look on the eyes of the woman, because even her has the same eyes, the eyes of a predator and she knew that this woman was stronger than her in her human form
"What do you mean?" ; the woman looked with disdain and said."I know that you are strong, as strong as me." she paused with a bit of bitterness on her face but she continued "I know how much work it take to arrive at this realm my self." she pulled her sleeves and Ebony saw many scars on her strong and tonned arms."But in this world we are still weak, the powerhouses of this world are terrifying, and the lord of this city is the son of the Duke of this country, and he has set his eyes on you." then she looked at Ebony hoping she will understand where she was going but seeing the incredulous eyes of Ebony, she sighed and said. " He is afraid of your companion and has already called for reinforcement, all the people who are coming are as strong as me, you should run before it is to late." she patted Ebony shoulders and she prepared to left when Ebony asked " Why should we run?" her voice wasn't weak as expected of someone who just received the information of being chased by a powerful force.
The strong woman was stunned for a second and said. " You and your companion are weak. " the thing that Ebony did next stunned the strong woman even more. Ebony looked at her with dragon eyes and then said." Because of you not knowing his greatness I will let it slide but the next time you say my lord and master is weak. I will tear you to shreds." Ebony had clear ferocity and the strong woman didn't know what to say next, she was afraid in the depth of her being, she knew she had no chance against Ebony.
She smiled a bit and then said." I have to admit it you clearly are strong, to show my respect I will tell you my name. I am Dara Anderton. Nice to meet you..." Ebony suppressed her aura and told Dara." Ebony... call me Ebony. " they shook hands and when they wanted to go their separate ways... Then a hooded man appeared. he was wearing an armor with a cape and a hood, he looked very mysterious. he then chanted something then a weird patterns appeared floating around his wrist, he pointed his hand with the patterns at the two conversing woman.
Ebony and Dara felt the transformation of energie around them and they looked at the hooded man. Dara cursed, she knew they were Magus sent by the Duke to recuperate the girl with shapeshifting abilities.
Dara leaps in front of Ebony and crossed her arms to protect her, she was blasted away by an explosion, she crashed in wall and passed through with a few other bangs which shows that she went though other walls. Ebony was stunned and looked at the man with clear malevolence. Then the man chanted again, this time Ebony lunched her self at him and punched with all her strength, a barrier appeared around the man and it absorbed all the shock and sounds after sending it all back intensified. Ebony was sent flying back her hand that punched was twisted, she crashed into a wall and before she could recuperate the punched her right in the stomach, she didn't have time to react, but when the punch connected the man was sent flying back, it was Dara who had recuperated. She looked at the man and asked " who are you? Do you want to die? "
The ma looked at his armor which had a deep dent of a human fist, the man boiled in rage and said. " bitch you will regret damaging my armor, I will have you in my bed then I will throw you my men and then to dogs, you will wish for death to come bitch." Dara already knew who he was. It was Sermons brother Serville, she knew his way of talking from the time she was in one of his troupes.
"Mr Serville. what that worth the honor of your presence?" the hooded man snorted and pulled down his hood and he said. " Miss Dara, this is not your business, let this lady for me to manage, I will not consider your offense if you comme to serve me tonight." the man said with a lecherous expression.
Dara was disgusted, she loathed this family to her core if not for their father she could kill all of them, but that was not simple because this man was Magus at the champion level, he is a few hundred years of age but still look so young. He was strong, Of he went all out he could wipe the floor with her face.
