Chapter 13 - Chapter 13: Enter the King’s Labyrinth :The hunt for the origin orb

"Just knock the door and he will let you in."

"Thanks again Rein, I hope I will see you around." Rose said as Rein walked down the Stairs.

[Does that mean she is going to be attending this school, if so I won't mind becoming friends.]

"Knock! Knock!"

Rose entered the Mr. Hans office.

"You have finally arrived, I am guessing everything has already been set in motion." Mr. Han says as he sits backing in his headmaster's chair Rose.

"Yes Sir." Rose answer in a serious tone.

Later that Day as Rein was making his back to the dorm someone stood Infront of him.

"I thought you would still be back in the Eabbovar region licking your wounds." Rein mocked.

"Haha! That's funny weakling....." Viden says sarcastically.

"What do you want with me now."

"You have really gotten cocky, thanks to you my whole family have started to look down on me with disappointment....."

"Serve's you right." Rein whispers under his breath.

"And as punishment my Father is forcing me to go on the expedition into the King's Labyrinth with you tomorrow, which he got that royal knight to agreed for me to go with you."

"Wait how did your father find out about that and did you just say its happening tomorrow?" Rein asked

The sun began to set on the horizon painting the sky with a Violet and Orange color behind the two boys.

"My father is a high-ranking Duke after all there is nothing that happens in the country that my father doesn't know about."

"So you know all the detail about why we are going do there." Rein asked as he looked Viden dead in the eye something he couldn't have done before.

"Not really he just told me it was tomorrow and that Mr. Han has the information, so we are supposed to get briefed by the headmaster tomorrow before entered the labyrinth, and I was told someone else was joining us."

"If I get some money out of this it will be all worth it, so don't hold me back." Rein grinned.

"I should be telling you that I can't afford to be humiliated by a commoner like you twice."

In the night a two men on horse back rode through the forest, with their path lit only by the torches they held.

Phantom sir we are almost at the labyrinth maybe we should make camp here for the night. A man wearing a crow mask informed to Phantom who wore a similar mask with the roman numeral 5 on it.

"You're right it would be wise to do so, get the sight ready I will go scout and make sure there are no feralite nearby."

40 minutes later Phantom returned to a well set up campsite.

"You're back Sir, I have a question for you if I am not asking out of line why does Master Zephyr want these so called Origin orbs." The man who talked to Phantom earlier asked.

"Ohh you are curious, it won't hurt telling you each of these six Origin Orbs are said to contain the mana and magic of one of the great mages of ancient times, sealed away that those with evil intention could not use them." Phantom shared.

"So I am guessing Master Zephyr is going to try to take the mana and magic from them to help with the Order Of Cipher's plan's."

"Yes something like that, you should get some rest the Labyrinth is no joke." Phantom ordered the man.

As the man went to sleep Phantom sat in a tree as he looked at crest moon reflecting its light with the stars around it.

"Master Zephyr your ambitions will be seen through, I will repay what I owe you for what you did that day." Phantom declares in the still and quiet night yo himself.

In the Early morning sun Rein made his way to the labyrinth, where the Headmaster, Viden and blacked haired man with glasses over his green eyes was waiting.

"Sorry I am late I guess I overslept after spending the whole night preparing." Rein apologized.

"You should be sorry; you are already slowing us down."

"Ohh really you want to go now, I do not mind." Rein retorted to Viden's comment.

"That is enough I am to blame I should of told you earlier so you had more time to prepare, Sir Hadley wants you three to go down in the Labyrinth to investigate the source of a huge spike in mana energy recorded by the knights mage team in the capital."

"How are we going to find this energy source when we are in there." Viden asked.

"That is where I come in I have been taught a spell to locate these types of mana spike no matter how faint it is." The man in glasses answered.

"And you are who exactly."

"My name is Mais from the Royal Mages from the capital of Yearl."

"Woah that means you are super strong, I bet you could handle this all by yourself." Rein Commented.

Mais scratched the side of his head as he lets out a nervous laugh.

"He is not exactly a fighter mage he deals with research and observation." Mr. Han noted.

"Now I get why he need other's to go with him,since they couldn't spear any battle ready personnel they chose two competent students to join him." Viden observed.

"That is very Perseptive of you Viden, now that you are acquainted and know your task I wish you good luck down there."

"Yes sir, I will crush this." Viden and Rein say at the same time as the eyed each other after.

Viden and Mais both entered the labyrinth but before Rein could, Mr. Han called him aside.

"Before I forget Sir Hadley said he will compensate you with 1000 Marig gold coins since he was the one who forced you into doing this task."

"That's more like it, I will accept those coins, after I come back, Sir."

The three enter the King's labyrinth as the door closed behind them it became dark the only light that shined for them is the light crystal growing from the walls and ceiling of the Labyrinth.

"It took us longer than I thought to reach here." the man next to Phantom said.

"That doesn't matter, lets leave our horses here incase we run into any trouble." Phantom ordered.

"Understood." The man answered.

"Let the hunt begin!" Phantom said with a cold smirk behind his mask.

{Deeper in the King's Labyrinth}

"Rumble!!"

"What is that rumbling, be on your guard." Rein warned.

"I don't need you tell me that." Viden replied.

"It is that coming from behind us." Rein noted.

"A herd of giant spiders and there are heading towards us." Mais says as he catches a glimpse of them behind him.

The three began sprinting through the labyrinth as fast they could, for if they stop for even a second they would become the giant spiders breakfast.

"What are those monstrosities!!" Viden shouted.
