Chapter 13- Made to live a normal life.
7 hrs later,
Clouds move in the morning sky, kissed into brilliant white by the sun. They move south toward the ocean, together yet independent. Gaps widen and close, one slides right under another and always they are changing shape. The sunrays slipped past the cloud gaps one accidentally touching and entering Ascais's room slashing Rhine's eyes,
Rhine blinked her eyes in seconds looking searching through her mind, she felt her body cool and a normal weighting body of a normal temperature, She glanced at her hands, she felt the big hands wrapping around her soft small miniature hands.
"Ascais Hidall, the self dragon of destruction an Ace like me and the chancellor of the Attack faction, who is now apparently my happen to be husband. Yuki was the first friend who I abandoned. "
"Hmm, you didn't abandon me technically, my dear"
"Ascais" Rhine's eyes pulled out of her socket, her eyes were enlarged starring down to the sleepy Ascais. Her hairs defied gravity and pulled to the surface, her eyes were about to pop out and fall off her body tumbling and landing in front of Ascais' face. "Ascais, you are awake!!!"
"Yes, I am. I could not fall asleep after hearing your weird-sounding soaring"
Rhine was speechless the bed puffed and bounced off as Rhine gave up her reality, which was now doomed to crumble. Rhine's small body slashed down unconsciously on the bed.
"Jeez, Rhine what happened" Ascais looked up to the bedridden unconscious Rhine, he strangled his hands through her soft smooth long grey hair, "Just don't leave me alone again." Ascais got up to his knees from his sitting position, having a thought in his mind he lifted his right hand and pressed his hand against what could one say to be still air, "Alberine" a flame spirit burst upon staggering through his hands, he gave a thought and molded the flame spirit into a long sword. "In the name of my sword, I swear to protect my upcoming wife and destroy this realm in the name of Ra, who is a threat in the words of Ra. I am Ascais Hidall, an individual who will serve Ra whenever he is called, even during his terminal Vacation"
'I knew it, he is going to do something to this world." An act which could make Ascais spill his beans, falling on the bed with a shock or embarrassment had made Ascais forge it to the sword that Rhine was really in her dream world, but it was as if the sun had changed its direction for him, it wasn't true. Rhine laid low and slowly opened her eyes and listened with a keen ear to Ascais words, 'To protect my upcoming wife' listening to these words made Rhine go numb, her cheeks became bright red, and she somehow managed to eat her boiling laughter, but as she heard the lines, 'and destroy this realm in the name of Ra.' Her hands turned numb, the person who was smiling and trying to hold her laughter was now replaced with a worried character from a detective light novel,
She felt the need to move almost without end; if her limbs were moving the anxiety was gone, or at least she could ignore it for a while. As the countryside passed she could lose herself in nature, much like in a dream. Rhine was only inside walls that she knew it was still there, coursing through her veins as if it hitched a ride on her blood cells.
'My lord are you there', Ascais head received an itching feeling, to minimise its effect he pulled up his right hand and tied it to his head emitting his mana slowly into his body and taking it back, this is used by most Ra members to stabilizes the wavelength of mana when trying to communicate telepathically.
'Hiki, what's the matter
'Nothing more, it's just a report update', According to the supreme orders of the leader of the party of destruction Hiki the businessman and the money raiser of the party were sent to the western part of the realm, in a country which is so to be called 'America' to investigate of its condition.
'Mostly this place is free of the knowledge of magic, the people who knew magic thought it to their apprentice, in large academies, the largest one could be twice the size of an average Ra royal magic academy.'
'Wait there is a knowledge of mana, wait for more than that there is mana in his world'
'In fact, yes there is. Normally one could not detect it because it is not present in logical lifeforms, but there is a presence of lock mana in magic stones.'
'Magic stone."
'Yes, Magic stones. One of the highest forms. Back to what I was saying. People cast magic spells in the most simple form, like flight magic, healing magic and elemental magic. One can only use magic in this realm if the has a mage staff, which according to this world is just a branch or a twig with a magic stone on its submit.'
'That's interesting but more than that how did you manage to get so much information in just a couple of hours, members of the party still haven't arrived at their designated area'
'I am a businessman, aka a merchant. I have my own ways'
'Whatever, what do you think of this realm according to your eyes."
'No comment, there is not enough sufficient data to answer this question
'In the end, what are you doing now.'
'Studying the magic system of this world, just to say there are normal monsters in this world just like any other realm with a presence of mana'
'Okay, I hope what you said is right.'
Rhine had interrupted into his the telecation link of the two, just a slight difference in the wavelength would alter the dragon, it was over of Rhine when Ascais said,
'There is someone more than us two.'
'did you notice it now, Hiki?'
'No, I was waiting for you to make it a point
Rhine started tearing up thinking about her possible end. Her body movements became tighter and her appetite reduced. Her smiles were shorter and her silence longer. She found things to do that don't need doing and ignored the important thoughts in her mind. Logging off from the link would may her even more obvious. In the end, Rhine was patiently waiting for her ultimate fate.
