"Huh...", Eina let out a sigh. "Doing a job as the rear guard sure is boring. I wonder how the captain and the other holds up at the frontline?"
Eina, a girl with shining blonde hair and emerald-colored eyes rides a white pegasus while holding a spear as a weapon.
"Like hell war is fun stupid ", John a brat with deep blue hair and Indigo-colored eyes looking through the battlefield with his binocular.
"Even so, I don't understand why the captain won't take us to the frontline. Instead, he put us as a guard at this safest base on the entire battlefield", John pulls out his eyes from the binoculars and looks at Eina.
"You just called me stupid and yet you still ask me...", Eina furrowed her eyebrow as she looks at John irritatedly.
"But knowing captain though, he probably wants to keep us safe.", Eina replied to John's question.
Eina turns her face to the battlefield and looks at the battlefield with her eyes shaking looking a little bit frightened.
"Just looking at the battlefield don't you think it's actually scary?"
"Huh? But you are the one who said guarding this place is boring, stupid"
"Well it's boring but I don't want to go to the battlefield either. I don't want to fight! I want to go home and sleep!"
"What with that? You don't even make any sense", John reacts to Eina's behaviors with a displeased reaction. "Well whatever it is, I wish I can go to the frontline fast and not dawdling around here doing a useless job.", said John and then put his eyes back to the binocular
"Such a big goal coming from a young boy~"
"Don't treat me like a kid stupid. I am just 5 years younger than you."
"That's what we called a kid... I don't know who is the stupid one here... Also, stop calling me stupid! That's rude!", Eina puffed her mouth.
"Right, right whatever"
"You really are rude for someone your age...", Eina said as her eyes pointed with annoyance.
"...But I am really curious...", Eina suddenly turns her voice to serious yet childish tone.
"With what?",
"Why you went all the way to becomes a soldier at your age? Aren't there other things you want to do at your age? Likes going to school and stuff?", Eina turns her face back to the battlefield trying to avoid looking at John's face. "Yet you are here joining the elite troop at the ages of 10. Why?"
John who rarely answers people's questions, answers Eina's question with his voice bringing a pressing color with it.
"I have a mission... To accomplish that mission I need to become the royal guard for the Bluebell family"
"That's all I guess", John change back his voice to a more casual ring.
Eina who was startled at John's resolution become silent. To break off the silence, Eina tried to ask more about John mission but then-
"John-"
"Wha-!", John who was stunned with what he's seeing with his binocular suddenly raised his voice.
Rumble!!!
The dark sky lit up by the thunder that roars through the sky and making the land grumble. The hailstones from the storm scattered as heavy rain follow it. Everything scattered around the battlefield was sucked up by the violent rotating air that touches the ground, the tornado! The tornado was at least 5 KM in size and the distance between the storm and both of them are about 10 KM. At the core of the storm can be seen a baby figure that was being engulfed in a black spirit.
"What...is that?", John pulls out his binocular and puts it by his side but accidentally drops it to the ground.
John was stunned looking at the tragedy happening in front of him while his cloth and hair were being blown by the abrupt strong wind.
"Captain Cecil...?", Eina's eyes open widely as she glares at the side of the storm.
Following Eina's eyes direction after hearing her called out to Cecil's name, John notices his captain's existence fighting the enemy soldier in that harsh condition.
"Let's go, John! Let help Captain Cecil!", Eina shouted with her voice loaded with worries.
John nod with a tear of sweat drop from his face.
Swoosh!
The Pegasus swiftly fly in the direction of Cecil's but when they arrive the storm already cleared up miraculously. Cecil's wyvern and the baby that was transformed into a dragon had land on the ground. Eina and John that just arrived also landed their pegasus behind Cecil's wyvern.
"Captain!!", Eina full of anxiety run toward Cecil and found Cecil with his right arm being bandaged up with a wooden stick, probably because it's broken. Cecil turns his head following Eina's voice and looks at her face and Eina lets out assured steam as she saw her captain is in a safe state.
In contrast, John walks slowly to his captain and was surprised to see her highness sitting beside Cecil in a weak state.
"Don't worry, her highness is fine", Cecil said to John as he saw John worried face.
"That's a relief...", John also let his body relaxed as he saw nothing miserable happens to them.
Afterward, John directs his eyes to the dragon in front of them.
"So... What is this captain?"
"It's the ancient spirit Bahamut"
"Bahamut?!", Scream Eina but John kept silent like he knows nothing.
"Yeah...", Cecil replied proudly
"You are kidding me right... The last time people saw Bahamut was 2000 years ago...", Eina doubting the dragon's existence.
"I understand what you are trying to say. But, this is really the same ancient spirit from 2000 years ago. I am right in front of it when it appeared. furthermore, I can feel it myself the power coming from it and that black spirit leaking out from his body, it's without a doubt Bahamut!"
John that was just standing there stunned hearing they talking about Bahamut, swim around with his eyes looking for the young master.
"Where is the young master Captain? I don't see him anywhere"
Cecil points his fingers at the dragon that was being shined by the light coming through the sky.
"There"
"Eh... Don't tell me...", John who is shocked as he looks in the pointed direction opens his eyes widely.
As they all look at the dragon who is looking up at the sky, the dragon's body starts to dissolve and the black spirit that was leaking out from his body was absorbed back into the body itself and it turns into a small being again.
"Yeah, the one who holds the power of Bahamut is the one who will become the next king of this world. Prince Erebus that is."
