Chapter 10 - The Stick's Return! Oh And This Guy's Here Too I Guess

[Statue-

Name: Zavier

Class: Mage

Level: 16]

Huh? What?

(Ohh! It tells you about your opponents, that's so cool!)

"Can we even beat this guy?"

(What do you mean?)

"He's level 16, I'm barely level 1"

(That's true....)

[What does that matter?]

"It matters because I'm severely underleveled, and have almost no chance of beating him"

[The brute from before was by far stronger than him and we did manage to beat him? I see no reason why this would be any different]

And we knocked him out in one hit?

[Didn't I say so before Master? Although not very strong, that skill is more than enough to take on the like of them]

"....Guess I'll just have to trust you"

[Why so hesitant? I'm hurt Master]

Like I'd believe that

"I'm not, let's just get going"

Qin glanced at the map, the mage--Zavier--was straight north from where they were. As long as we head straight we should reach him...I wonder why he hasn't moved though? They had been talking for awhile and the red dot had stayed where it was, it wasn't even that far from them. Whatever we'll figure this out later.

Qin set off

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"It'll be fine! Cahir isn't going to kill you! It'll be ok! Right!? Right!?"

Zavier marched back and forth nervously as he chewed on his nail--I'm fine! This is fine! I'm sure Cahir will understand!....Yeah....Cahir.....will....understand....

I'm doomed. He fell to his knees, face buried in his arms--Oh Prime I'm done for, Cahir is going to split my skull in half. His head smashed against the ground.

"Oh Prime, merciful and glorious Prime, please spare this pitiful mage! I just want to live! I'll live a good life I swear! I-I'll help the poor! I swear please just don't let him kill me!"

"What the hell are you doing?"

I'm saved! Zavier pulled his head up to look at his...savior? There was a boy standing before him who couldn't have been older than ten, green hair, amber eye and...ears? Long ears extended from his head, a matching green tail swung behind him, why does this kid look so familiar? Zavier glanced at his hand and froze.

The kid held a glowing stick, all of a sudden memories flooded Zaveri's mind, Cahir knocked out and the kid they spent so much time hunting down just gone, in an instant Zavier realised three things. First he was screwed, second he was so screwed, third he was so royally screwed

Become an adventure Zavier! it'll be fun Zavier! This is so fun isn't it! Are you happy now Emersyn! Your brothers going to die! Why didn't I just join the academy?!

The kid tilted his head to the side, ears twisting outwards, he lifted his hand before bringing it back down, his mouth--Why does he have fangs?!--opened and closed a few times before he finally spoke

"Did-did you really lose your mind?"

Huh? Losing my mind why would he ask that? He's going to kill me anyway! What does this matter!?

Zavier watched the kid for a second before turning towards him--he was going to use his ultimate move--and bashed his head as hard as he could against the ground, causing the kid to flinch back.

"I apologise if this useless one has offended you, your excellency, if your gracious self will allow this useless one to live then in the name of the almighty Prime, this lowly one will serve you for eternity!"

Being an absolute suck-up!

"I am so confused, and we're not killing him! so stop bringing it up!"

We're?

"He probably ate something weird, that just makes my job easier-"

Epp!

"Huh? No I guess you're right Fui-" Fui? "-Hey! I've got some questions, and if you want to get out of this unscratched your gonna answer them"

He was seated on his knees in an instant.

"Yes sir!"

"....Right, uhh, why were you after the kid?"

"..huh?"

"The kid? the one you had in that cage?"

"I remember the kid but, what do you mean? Aren't you here for the bounty?"

"Bounty? Explain"

"Someone put up a bounty for that kids return, it was about....5 Million torus"

"That's a lot"

"It's enough to live well for the next ten, no maybe even twenty generation's! Imagine having that much money! you'd never have to work again"

"Is that why you took up the bounty?"

"Huh?"

"For money? You hunted a kid probably traumatized him for what? Easy living?"

"Um I-"

"Do you really think you could have used any of it? Without thinking about the kid whose life you signed away? Do you really think you'd feel no guilt?"

"I umm-I-"

"If you can then....You really are just scum"

Zavier glanced up and froze, the kid was watching him far closer than before, he swallowed nervously--This isn't going to be good.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hmm"

The boy shifted slightly, it was warm again, but the noise was gone? The boy moved again pushing his arm under him before flinching and lifting his hand there was a strip of fabric wrapped around his arm, he poked it before flinching, what's going on? he looked around no one was there, the sound was gone too.

"--You really are just scum"

The boy flinched back, someone was here! he needed to leave, he needed too-

"Who the hell does that to a kid?"

Huh?

The boy looked over, that voice...it's familiar, he stood up and quietly moved towards the voice, in the clearing there were two people, one was standing the other was on his knees.

'Swish'

Swish? There was something moving behind the standing man, he squinted trying to see it better-! A tail! why did this guy have--Ears! Tail and ears! He had a tail and ears!

"You don't understand! Cahir said this job would be simple! I tried to say no! I really did! I swear I did! I didn't realise we were going after a kid and even then how was I supposed to go after Cahir! There wasn't anything else I could do!"

"Nothing else you could do? I-You, do you even hear yourself? He's a kid! I don't care if your afraid of that Cahir guy! You put a kid through something horrible to save your own skin!"

"What so wrong with that?! I just want to live!"

"You make me sick"

The fox ear'd man lifted his hand up bringing up a stick--why was it glowing?

"Wait! Wait! Wait! I'm sure we can talk this out!"

"No, this conversations over-" did the stick just get brighter? "-this is for what you did to that kid"

He brought his hand down violently against the cloaked guys head, the cloaked man hit the ground and didn't get back up, the fox ear man let out a sigh.
