Chapter 9,
Unexpected Arrival
Koshiro's POV
"So, what do we do now, Zandra? " I worriedly mumbled to Zandra who seemed like she's thinking about our grand escape. We're cornered now and it looks like it'll gonna be a tough battle.
"Boy, cover me. I'll cast a binding spell along with a nullifying and support magic. Protect me at all cost. Don't waste this precious Mana of this old Witch! " she said then busting a loud sound.
"I summon you forth, the wind that wrecks everything in it's path, Whirlwind! " I chant summoning a whirlwind.
The guy who broke the ceiling used telekinesis and it attacked us using fragments of the hard ceiling made out of stone but the whirlwind tore it apart and the enormous whirlwind scattered into three parts and it won't stop following the two enemies.
"It can't be helped, right?" the guy who used exceed said like he's not affected by my Whirlwind "I am Fiosh and that guy who uses telekinesis is Derio. Well, there's no point in staying out names when you're about to meet your own end, Knight. Now, state me your name and I shall engrave it in your tombstone, " he said dispelling my Whirlwind and he laughed as if it was going to be his last one. Fiosh has a matching dark blue eyes and hair while Derio has Dark Red highlighted with light red with crimson eyes. They're both weird looking.
"Koshiro. Mr. Fiosh, I will be defeating you but I will not engrave your name in your tombstone. I'm not like you. Go engrave it yourself, dummy! " I exclaimed in disagreement for what he said with all of my heart's content and it looks like it made him furious. Serves him right.
"Boy, 'outta there! " Zandra orders as soon as she activates her magic.
"Oh, flowers that sings along with the winds voice, lend me your power, I summon you forth. Riririri!" Zandra chants.
"Not so fast, old hag! Dispe—" Fiosh's sentence was cut before he could finish it.
"Dispell!" Zandra cuts him off dispelling his spells "If your dare dispell my magic, then I'll dispell your dispelling skill! " she gave a large grin and flowers started to grow.
There are are white lilies, blue orchids and green vines. The white lilies nullified all attacks coming from the two while the green vines tangled themselves in the body of Fiosh and Derio binding the two. Lastly, the blue orchids, one of my favourite plants, emitted blue mist and it covered me and entered my body and I felt power surging into me. I checked my status real fast.

I feel magic welling up. I suddenly used my fire magic without hesitation and shot multiple fireballs to them.
"Zandra, I've been wondering, what are those flowers for? " I asked as of my body moves on its own accord.
"I-It's u-used in f-funerals. . . I think," she fell silent for a second making me realize what I have asked. My eyes widened from shock from what she said.
*Flashback*
Koshiro's POV
I held Kian's hand with mine asking with a questioning look, "whu are you crying? " confuse filled me as his eyes goes shock while tears streaming down his face. He just looked away not answering my question. I could only care less that's why I didn't asked furthermore.
I realized one thing, They were crying because someone died. He didn't thought that I'd be saying that especially when those guys lying in those coffins are my parents. They both died from murder. My father's family is a rich family and he'll be inheriting 75 percent of his parent's wealth and for my mother, if anything happens to my father, the wealth will be transferred to her. Because of that, my father's cousin, the older brother of Kian's father decided to kill both so that he will inherit the wealth for my father does not have any siblings. The murder was seen by Roi, his son, and immediately reported it to Kian's father and he was immediately caught. Unfortunately, my parents both has three stabs each and they were precisely stabbed at the heart, abdomen and pancreas. The wealth was passed to Kian's father after the incident for I am still young enough to fit the throne. Our grandfather said that I will be inheriting it after I get 21.
*End of Flashback*
"Koshiro?" a sudden shout took me back to reality "Koshiro!" I looked at Zandra who desperately calls for my name.
I looked around and realized we're surrounded by flowers with only one body but has different kind of variation to every colors to each flower. They kept on singing a beautiful melody and musical notes are shown as it plays the song creating a barrier that gradually becomes stronger. It seemed that way but when Derio used telekinesis, stone which was so big shattered into sharp pieces and kept on attacking until it broke the barrier.
"Zandra!" I call her name as she cough up blood. It's a type of barrier that affects the body of the user. It won't affect the plants as it's made up of Mana like artificial plants.
"Run! Leave me here and run! " she exclaimed pushing me away with no strength left in her.
"I won't. I took this job and I will be fulfilling it. Even if I don't take it, I'll surely help you, " I said giving him a smile as her face somewhat looked perplexed.
"Why. . .? Why do you have to do that? I didn't sent that request. " my mind suddenly went blank.
What does she meant by that? What is that request for? Now that you put it, we didn't looked at the sign from the one who requested the mission.
"No time to think,'lil boy " Fiosh summoned a fire without chanting any words and it tried to engulfed us.
"I summon you forth, Tamed Swallowtail. Summoning Spell, Activate! " I chant as swiftly as my mouth can pronounce.
The Swallowtail activated Fairy Transformation along with Barrier magic to protect us from the fireball.
*Fairy Transformation is currently activated. The familiar and Master's Status increased for half an hour.
"You seemed to be in a pinch, Master, " she said smiling brightly "that reminds me, I'm still unnamed right now. Care for giving me a name?" she chuckled.
"Kao suits you since you have a pretty face, " I smiled knowing that she'll easily fall for it.
"That's it! I love it! You can marry me if you like! " she laughed very hard.
She's easy to read like an open book. Anyone with bad intention could easily catch a rare being like her.
"Flame, the core of fire, I summon you forth, Roar of the Fire dragon!" he chants shocking everyone. He not chanting is already strong but chanting? This is trouble!
"Can you not interrupt our sweet moment?!" Kao's brows furrowed annoyed.
"Undine's Blessing!" A gigantic waterball was formed and it stopped the enemies attack.
Note: Undine's Blessing is received mostly by familiars, elves and sometimes Knights. Undine's Blessing is a power from Undine that Protects the entity she bestowed her power with.
"You got some interesting familiar tamed, huh? Where'd you get that?" Derio smiled looking like a smirk.
"Accidentally?" I diverted my gaze away unsure about what kind of reason I should make up 'cause I know they wouldn't believe even if it's 100% truth.
"Accidentally?! You jerk, do you think I'd believe such lies from you?!" He exclaimed. I felt like something snapped from my inside.
"I never said that I want you to believe me, didn't I?" I try to provoke him. Hot-headed guys are easy to provoke. Besides, fighting without thinking could lead you to your own demise.
"Cool your head, we'll lose this battle if you lost it. " Fiosh whispered putting his hand on Derio's shoulder.
Derio sighed, "when the hell did I lost when I snapped?" his voice was calm and cool and yet arrogance is more visible than the two.
"Well then, let's get ready for the party, shall we?" Fiosh smiled cunningly making a bow elegantly.
Miller's POV
"Hey, you!" Koshiro's familiar looked at me with a questioning look, "take the two to the edge of the island. There are two boats parked there. Take the two there where the backups are and come back to help me," I added pushing him away.
Koshiro's familiar didn't move an inch. After a while, he used magic and he became two. His Zodiac must be Gemini. The two him split up. One carrying Haru and Kent and one with me. Familiars cannot disobey Master's order after all.
Note: Zodiacs are special powers given to familiars. Zodiacs differ in every familiar like Gemini allowing one to became two or copy any elemental magic as long as the familiar contains that magic. Two familiars can have the same Zodiac but one familiar cannot have two Zodiacs. Zodiacs are activated once a beast are tamed and Zadiacs can be obtained depending on the beast's date of birth.
"Choosing two lives instead of yours? Very bold decision, isn't it?" he chuckled faintly.
He's elegant and good-looking, I'll admit it. But that type of attitude, I Fu*kin hate it!
"Well then, milady, let's start the ball. Come forth, Cinderella's Ball!" he chants activating a skill.
The whole place around us was engulfed by ribbons until everything changed, the whole place became a place where the ball is held, the castle. Many people are dancing so damn elegantly and I am standing in a bright yellow long gown that I don't know and care what it is. It's so gross. I'd rather wear a suit and a necktie than this garbage that women likes except for the likes of me. The place is covered by the sound playing. I see it sweet but I don't feel it romantic at all. I looked around and noticed something, there's a prince so handsome that I could fall for him. Well, it only happened for a second after realizing who it was. That annoying guy.
He approached me like he's a different person who don't know me reaching out his hand, "Shall we dance, Ms. Miller Hunter, the princess of the Hunter family," I smiled hiding my grin wanting to punch him right into his face.
I accepted his offer not minding every single audience looking at us jealously. Like I like doing this.
I stared at his face then smiled, "be thankful, man. You're my first dance, " I said making him look surprised.
"It's a pleasure. By the way, judging from the way you move, its uncomfortable for you, milady. Why not change the place? Want to wear a black robe instead?" he whispered to my ear but I stayed low-key.
"Like the hell? Why would I believe you? " my brows furrowed.
He snapped his finger, "Sei's Play, Little Lady in Black, " he stepped back the disappears and the place changed, I was in a beautiful black robe in the middle of the woods in front of a house.
I entered the house after hearing a rocking chair rock. I saw an old lady there asleep. She suddenly opened her eyes then looked at me and attacked me. It's a good thing I can dodge it. By the unexpected turn of events, the old lady turns out to be a waretiger trying to rip my body into pieces. It suddenly attacked continuously until I can't even see it properly. It attacked me and I couldn't have enough time to defend but suddenly, chains came out of the ground taking the heart of the waretiger.
"Where were you? " a familiar voice speaks.
It's Nikko!
Word of the Day!
