The crowd that had gathered had began dispersing as the people left and headed in their individual directions.
The fight between Sky and Veer had caused a lot of destruction in the area mostly because Sky had taken metal from buildings and other things to use in the fight.
The crowd had already been dwindling even as the fight was going on because it was nighttime and people had places to be but now the place was deserted.
The clinsers had shown up through magic circles in the ground the moment Sky fell to the ground and lost consciousness. Initially they had grabbed him when they saw his condition and the dead body of Veer which had a hole in its chest and a hole in the head.
They obviously figured out that there had been a fight between the two of them and Sky needed medical attention at the moment but he would be detained and after a rigorous investigation into what happened, a trial would be held where Sky will certainly be found guilty.
Despite the circumstances, Sky had killed Veer and was therefore guilty.
However, Anna had walked towards the clinsers that had arrived a few moments ago. They had already cuffed Sky to a stretcher which was hovering towards a magic circle.
She walked to the stretcher Sky was cuffed to and broke the cuffs on his hands and his legs. She lifted him off the stretcher and was about to leave when she was stopped.
"Anna. What are you doing?" Captain Van asked as he went to meet her.
"Captain Van." Anna said and stopped her shapeshift into a peeler (a four-winged animal). "What does it look like I'm doing?"
"It looks like you're taking away a dangerous criminal." Captain Van replied.
"Yeah Van. A sixteen year old. Very dangerous. Whatever happened to 'innocent until proven guilty'?" Anna said with as much sarcasm her voice could contain and convey.
"Regardless." Captain Van said, the other clinsers now moving towards them and taking a stance, looking ready in case Anna tried anything. "He has been detained and until an investigation has been done, he will remain with us."
"I'm sorry captain. Is that an order?" Anna asked. "You do realize that you and your buddies aren't a threat to me. I suggest you all think carefully before making your next move."
The clinsers began murmuring between themselves and talking about how Anna was the daughter of a monarch, how she also had enough strength to beat them all.
"Be quiet." Captain Van ordered. "She may be a monarch's daughter but we are also doing our job. And right now that is to get that kid back in our custody."
"If you guys want him, come and get him." Anna said and shapeshifted into a five-tailed wert. Even as a five-tailed wert, she still retained her prominent curves and her voluptuous figure as her clothes ripped apart and dark scales formed all over her body acting as its own form of clothing. Her blue hair became slightly longer and the tip of her five tails also had a bit of blue hair.
She used her tails to hold Sky and wrapped them around him just enough to hold him.
Seeing a five-tailed wert in their sights, the clinsers immediately became a bit frightened. Although the wert was Anna who had shapeshifted, the aura a five-tailed wert naturally possesses was currently affecting the clinsers making them feel nervous about attacking.
The power was frightening to people who had no chance against it and Anna was currently using that to her advantage. She did not want to hurt the clinsers since they were truly just doing their job but even if she did attack them, she wouldn't hurt them badly.
And she talk her way out of most situations since her father was a monarch and she was a valuable asset in the war so there wouldn't be a lot of repercussions for her.
"What's the matter captain?" Anna asked, her voice now different from before. It was deep and even the sound of it was capable of instilling fear in people. "Too scared to come at me?"
Captain Van did not respond and stared at Anna, apparently also affected by the aura emanating from the five-tailed wert as he hesitated to attack or give the order for the others to attack.
"If you don't mind, he needs medical attention." Anna said, referring to Sky then flapped her wings a couple of times before flying into the air and away from the clinsers.
Her wings had made dust rise into the air and it also somewhat made a few of the clinsers lose their balance for a second.
Gritting his teeth and swearing under his breath, Captain Van ordered the clinsers to begin fixing the damage that the fight had caused.
***
Outside the Ansteria district and in a small forest with huge trees everywhere that prevent most people from journeying that far into the forest, Isabel was standing in the forest looking around, seemingly waiting for someone while checking to see if the person was in sight.
From the bottom of a tree trunk where a hidden symbol was, a certain glow emanated from the symbol as it became filled up with energy and energy particles began to come out of it and join together, forming a person right next to it.
Wavy hair which was dark pink in colour with a single streak of blue going through it diagonally, tight clothes which seemed appropriate for a fight, a stoic and apathetic expression which almost looked like a frown which belonged to one person only – Sasha.
The energy particles that had come out of the symbol in the tree trunk had just joined together to form Sasha and she had changed her hairstyle from before.
She had just returned from Vaxoryn after reporting to Kalvrie. Unbeknownst to her, she had missed Andrea by a few minutes.
Some minutes after Andrea had appeared in the red forest through the symbol which was on the exact same place on a tree just like it was on Veda, Sasha had shown up in the forest and was heading back to Veda.
She was the one Kalvrie had assigned to keep an eye on Jake after Veer failed to take him to Vaxoryn. Because she had to watch Jake, she had run after him back on Soran when he had lost control and used his energy to kill werts then he ran away.
She and Jake had never really spoken about his purple energy but Jake had occasionally sneaked off to practice using it and she had watched him from a distance.
Now Jake was nowhere to be found but Sasha had a slight idea of where he could be and what might have happened to him.
