Chereads / Knights Of Astellan / Chapter 3 - Dell Sterum

Chapter 3 - Dell Sterum

"Uh, first our hideout is called Dell Sterum. Don't know why, really don't care. Where we just came out is the meeting room. This is our chilling area. And uhm, we have ten bedrooms. You have one, your pick." Aeron said awkwardly. Jessica sees a paper on the floor and picks it up. "The tribunal clans…" Jessica wondered. "Yeah, I'm from Magicae and the tribunal clans decided to place me here… 'cause of my parents," Aeron said balling up the paper. "Oh, no wonder why you don't like me," Jessica said nervously. "No, it was the best thing the tribunal clans could do. War isn't my style. The Kinzoku though… The statements he made towards me; a child were quite harsh." Aeron said slowly. "Yeah, the current leader of the Kinzoku is ruthless. But his children certainly aren't." Jessica says with a smile.

"So, what do you guys do, specifically?" Jessica asked sitting on the couch. "Right, the wrongs. As you may not know, Astellan has some evil beings. We capture them and turn 'em in cause the police that Astellan has ain't that good. But anyway, how's Magicae?" Aeron asked sitting next to her on the couch. "There was another war. We won but we suffered as well. The capitol was destroyed and some of the citizens died after getting attacked. But there was a bright side, I guess. We got a connection to Earth the truth about the world was revealed and my father got god magic." Jessica sighed. "Wait… there's two kings?" Aeron asked surprised. "Wow. You really don't know. King Allock died, Eris took over the throne, married a human and they stopped the war together. Pixies started a war, they died, and a giant evil deity rose and wanted to destroy the world, he started with Mediocris Eris and Henry fought him off but that didn't work. Then a descendant of Magus and he was a doppelgänger, gave my dads the power to kill the devil. Long story short on what's been happening in Magicae." Jessica explained. "Wow, that's a lot for a long story short." Aeron astounded.

"Guys, goblins are invading a town a few miles away from here, we have to go. Jessica, come with me." Rose eagerly said. Jessica follows her to a room. "This is your room. And that's your outfit you're gonna wear when we go on missions. But I'll think you'll need a mask or something." Rose said. "I can fix that. Now, get out so I can change." Jessica said.

A couple of minutes later, Jessica comes out of her room and quickly heads to the meeting room. She has her suit on. "Okay, let's go," Rose said. Rose holds on to Sloan and Hasan. She chants words and they disappear. "Damn, how dare she do that?" Ashamoke said. They leave out of Dell Sterum and start to head to the town. Zoe grows wings of water, and she also does the same spell for Ashamoke and they fly to the town swiftly. "I'll get us to the town," Jessica said. "Your wings would cause too much attention," Aeron stated. "Whoever said anything about wings?" Jessica responded. Her eyes glow gold for a moment then she snaps her fingers.

In a gold flash, they're at the town. They both quickly join the fight with the others. Zoe starts to evacuate the people of the town as the others fight. The number of goblins goes down as the knights are on the winning side. They think that all the goblins are defeated but three big goblins appear out of nowhere. "Damn, why are they so huge? They're shorter than Hasan though." Ashamoke says snickering. Hasan turns sideways and looks at him. "I'm going to fucking kill y-" Hasan gets interrupted as one of the goblins steps on him.

Luckily, he's part giant. Hasan is strong enough to hold the goblin's foot and throws the goblin. The knights begin to attack the last three goblins and they start to have a losing side in the fight. Zoe came and started using ice magic to kill the three goblins.

Before leaving, Zoe told the townspeople that it was safe to return.

~Back at Dell Sterum~

Ashamoke stretched as he yawned. "You know, we should get back. Kirby could find out." Ash says tiredly. Everyone else agrees and goes back to their dorms.

In her pajamas, Jessica sits on her bed yawning ready to go to sleep, but she takes off her bracelet and places it in front of her. "Hey, Victor" Jessica smiles. "Why did you call at this time? I'm trying to sleep. And why do you have the telepathic bracelet?" Victor asks. "I ain't feel like getting my other one. Anyways, do you have something to tell me?" Jessica asks tiredly. "I'm sending you something, it should arrive either tomorrow or in a week, not in between. Good night." Victor's voice disappears. "I wonder how Mike is doing…" Jessica whispers to herself.
