Chapter 9 - .

The magician reached out his hand at me and said.
"Come with me, Ryuu."
He looked at me with hope and curiosity.
"Come with me, Ryuu."
I didn't know what to say. I didn't know what to do.
I didn't know what to expect. I just felt something in my heart.
I just felt something in my soul.

But before I could say anything else, Gustav interrupted us.
"No! You won't go anywhere! She's mine! And I won't let you take her from me!"
Suddenly Gustav dismounted his horse he drew his sword and charged at the magician.
He swung his sword at Leon, but Leon dodged it easily.
He raised his hand and pointed it at Gustav.
"Light Beam!" he shouted.
A golden beam of light came out of his hand and hit Gustav in the chest.
Gustav fell to the ground, stunned and unconscious.
Leon looked at him with pity and disgust.
"You're pathetic, Gustav.
You're weak and foolish.
You don't know how to be a human.

He looked at me with kindness and warmth.
"Come on, Ryuu. Let's go."
