As the day passes and the new day arrives. The stars are shining in the sky with the moons shining like bawls in the sky. the duo and mariola hear knocking on the door
,"hmm... Who would be so early knocking on the door... It's only 4 am..." Mariola gets out bed putting some clothes on in the progress and walks to the door that is still getting knocked on ,"yes... Yes... I am coming"
She opens the door and ducks down inmideatly as a sword is thrusted to her face ,"what the hell is your problem!" She looks up and sees a woman with red hair staring with her red eyes at her as fear creeps in her body as wildfire ,"and who may you be?" The female looks at her and looks up before walking inside ,"I heard that Achlys and Tiabishi live here so I came here to get them" mariola jumps Infront of her with a cooking pan ,"what do you want with my kids? Who are you" the woman looks at her as mariola says that with a stern and powerfull voice as the woman smiles and puts a fist on her chest ,"I am Saria Colvani 27th captain of the loipetras army... Nice to meet you miss mariola"
Mariola lowers her weapon and stare in amazement ,"so you are training my kids..." She get sparkles in her eyes and smiles like she won a lottery ,"are my kids gonna be strong?" She reaches out her hand as Saria looks at it ,"I am gonna try my absolute best to make them strong and keeping them safe" she takes the hand of mariola and shakes it
,"but why are you here? it's so early."she looks at saria ,"I am going to take them on a little adventure to the cave south of the city" mariola nods and smiles as she gives Achlys sword to her and leads her to their room ,"just be careful Tiabishi can be very aggressive in the morning" mariola warns before walking to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee for herself
Saria walks into the room and slams her sword on ground and heating the room slightly up ,"inferno" she whispered as the sword shines red and starts to release steam ,"what is happening..." Achlys spoke up waking up ,"glad you woke up... Sleeping corpse" Saria spoke to him with a unsatisfied look
Achlys jump and scaring Tiabishi awake ,"you dick!! Why did you wake me up" Tiabishi slams her foot in his crutch making Saria shock and making a pain reaction face ,"that should've hurt" Achlys falls down off the bed with tears in the eyes ,"why did I deserve this?" Tiabishi notices Saria and jumps onto Achlys ,"why is the scary fire lady here?" She hugs Achlys who still is in pain
Saria looks towards the doorway where mariola is standing with a cup of coffee ,"they are over reacting to much aren't they" mariola takes a sip of her coffee when Saria nods and mariola sighs after
Mariola takes a breath in and sign Saria to cover her ears, as she does so ,"YOU FUCKING IMBECILES YOU ARE WAKING THE DEAD UP IN THE GRAVEYARD SOON" Saria looks at mariola with a shocked face as the heat in the room is gone and Achlys with Tiabishi sitting on their knees Infront of mariola silent
,"you better listen to Saria today or you both get a whooping you won't forget" she said holding the pan with a threatening smile as both of them nod and look towards Saria with puppy eyes ,"you guys will be the death of me" she walks out the room with a big sigh
As some time passes and the duo with Saria leave the house while mariola waves to them from the door
After some walking they arrive at the gates of the kingdom and wave at the guard as the guard bow down to Saria
They walk the entire day watching the sunrise and sundown arriving at a cave
The moons light up the cave in red blue and purple giving it an ominous feeling coming near ,"the moons are near their peaks... The cave will be filled with power and evilness tonight... Be ready both of you we will enter soon" Saria said while sitting down with some wood Infront of her
She points a finger at the wood and fires it when Achlys and Tiabishi sit down around the fire ,"so what's the plan?" Achlys asks as he feels something hit his shoulder and sees Tiabishi leaning her head on his shoulder
,"she deserves the sleep wel... Walking not stopping in the heat is hard to do for a elf"she said while hitting the fire with a stick ,"we will be leaving tomorrow in the mornin head into the cave and kill the monster in there" she looks at Achlys telling that but sees him asleep and sighs with a smile ,"get some rest... You have a long day tomorrow" Saria pokes the fire some more as the night progresses on
5 hours later 3 half moons shine in the sky as the 3 are asleep
A bush nearby makes a russling noise waking Achlys up ,"hm? Is that you candy dude? Are you here to bring my salty treat" the noise stops and Achlys opens his eyes meeting his eyes with a goblin who stands over Tiabishi ,"gruaagee" the goblin spoke and jumps towards Achlys but Achlys took out his sword and slashed him in 2
,"what in the flying ice bird was that!" Tiabishi shook awake and looks around she notices the goblin body and looks at Achlys ,"thank you!" Tiabishi kicks Achlys in the crutch and lays down again to sleep ,"ach! Why did I deserve that!" He whispered in anger and frustration then he stares back at the goblins body thinking and his marking glows a little and some sort soft whispers are coming out of it
Saira is awake and smiles but closes her eyes ,"those idiots in the cave will be a hard time for them" she falls asleep again but Achlys stays awake during the rest of the night unable to take his eyes of the goblin
The suns Ra and Surya shine above the horizon with their light shining up the mountains in the distance and making the flowers bloom
,"gyaaaaaaah hm? Is everyone still sleeping?" Tiabishi rises up and looks at Saria who is sleeping and Achlys who is sitting up still staring at the goblin ,"hey Achlys are you awake?" She crawls to his side and sees the corpse in Two with guts laying in between open crawling slowly out as the body is getting taken back by the nature ,"Ew what did you do Achlys!" Achlys shakes from his trance and waking Saria in the progress
,"why are you fixated with that corpse achly" Achlys looks at Tiabishi then back at the corpse ,"I killed something without a care... My body just acted on its own. Swinging the sword to the body of a monster." Saria stood up as Achlys is pondering about it ,"it's the reaction of your body. Your mana detected danger and responded with the body to move. Achlys nods towards Saria then looks at it's hands ,"still it's a soul I freed from a body"
Tiabishi surrounds him with her arms ,"it's a act of protection it will happen in a fight alot more" Saria said while hitting Achlys head softly with her sword
Achlys jumps back hitting the sword out her hand and holding it on her throat ,"huh? What" the mark on his cheeks is shining red
,"let's enter the cave shall we? The audience is waiting" Tiabishi said as she is pointing at us
A little while later the 3 of them walk into the cave killing goblins. Achlys learning many more ways to kill while Tiabishi is leaving a cold air out of her
Achlys runs towards a goblin and jumps to the walls to get momentum ,"grrya?" Achlys is going so fast as the air Is changing to a small air current ,"and you're done" Achlys said as he hits his sword on the middle of the goblins head and chopping its head in two with blue blood splatting everywhere
He stands Infront if the corpse and sheaths his sword back in it's sheath and he looks at Saria who smiles ,"did I do wel?" Saira nods and walks further with Tiabishi following slowly ,"can you explain the mana reaction more I feel like there's more" Saria looks at him back and nods ," got a sharp eye there Achlys there is indeed more" Saria walks deeper in with the 2 following
,"the mana Is like a bubble around your body. The bubble reacts to all kinds of things and feels the necessary defense to use when it's in danger, but the bubble has a sloppy reaction speed." She explained dashing towards a goblin and burning it alive litting up the cave
A sword mark can be seen on the wall with some texts ,"the grimoire of death, the orb of memory, the sword of emotions, the ring of ambition"
,"yet the mana bubble is small compared using sense or detect, since the bubble is an automatic defense to magic attacks" Saira explained Achlys nods but then he asks something ,"I heard once about orders." Saria turns her head to Achlys in shock ,"how'd you know about that!" Achlys is taken back and points at his marking ,"I heard it once spoke out of it in my dream when I was 8" Saria puts her hands on his shoulder ,"promise never to tell anyone! that means also for you Tiabishi, this is the very danger of the world. The orders have all the power to break anything" she stares serious have Achlys taken back but nodding
As the 3 are silent a scream can be heard far on the cave making Tiabishi react and dash towards the sound with the two other follow behind ,"Tiabishi wait!! It can be a trap!!" She takes a corner as they hear a tud and dash to Tiabishi who is in hands of a monster
The monster has 6 ears over his body 1 on each arm and 1 on both legs and 2 on his shoulders it also has 8 eyes on his chest and 4 holes on his back that open wider and smaller as its taking air as the face is a gaint slit vertical with teeth,"this is a nice elf... I wonder if she can pull out the sword of Nora..." The monster turns around and pushes Tiabishi to a sword who is burning hot with the colour of red the handle of the sword is blue with some symbols on it
One symbol is a sword then a person after that a ball who shines ,"that... Sword is a artifact..." The monster is pushing Tiabishi closer to the sword ,"Take your damn hands off her!! Saria appears next to Tiabishi and swings her sword at the arm of the monster ,"fool!! I need that sword!" Achlys catches Tiabishi and jumping back
Saria kicks the monster with the monster pushed a few feet back and jumping back as Saria slashes down with her sword hitting the ground making a slash in the floor that stops Infront of the monster
,"a strong human... Can be used... I'll... Make sure... To... Kill you all..." Achlys turns around and runs to a large rock and hides with Tiabishi in his arms behind it ,"running... Away... Is futile..." The monster widens his arms expanding it's holes on the back ,"lights... Edge" 8 lights spears fly out the holes hitting the ceiling of the cave ,"ACHLYS!! TIABISHI!! EMBRACE YOURSELFS!" The spears explode in small beams of lights and fall down with sound breaking speed
Achlys takes out his sword and holds it Infront of Tiabishi ,"I'll protect you" Tiabishi is shaking and hugging Achlys close to her as the light lights up her face and explodes Infront if them ,"Achlys!! Tiabishi!!" Saria shouts but notices all the other beams around her and her eyes widen ,"shield of flames!!" She stabs her sword in the ground forming a shield around her protecting her from the beams
The cave is filled with dust and debris ,"cough cough" Tiabishi is coughing historically while glances a few times around to get a view ,"Achlys... 'cough cough' are you oke?" She hits something with her foot that makes her look down and sees Achlys laying unconscious on the ground bleeding from the mouth and nose with the marking shining red
A rock is coming towards Achlys reaching close to it but a bright flash between Achlys and the rock appears blinding Tiabishi ,"protect him until he is awake..." The light dissipates with the voice ,"what was that? No matter..." Tiabishi runs to Achlys to grab him and run to a hallway while glancing a few times back
,"you... Will... Be... Unable... To... Hurt... Me... Human..." The monster stands up and starts to walk to the shield of Saria ,"the... Power... You... Wield... Is... Weaker... Then... your... Will..." He stops Infront of the shield and touches it and breaking it in a instant ,"how!! How are you able to do that!!" Saria shouts while jumping back and notices the mana from the shield getting sucked by the holes behind his back
He reaches out his hand ,"this... Is... Real... Power..." He summons hondreds of shields around the cave and and sends an fire orb that bounces around the shield multiplying every bounce ,"flame... Dancing... Aura... sphere..." The balls go faster every bounce making Saria struggle to see around and jump away to dodge some balls
She lands next to the sword and without realizing pulling it out ,"you..." He stares at it and laughs ,"that's... Great... Now... Give... Me... The... Sword..." Saria looks at it and jumps back again running to Tiabishi and Achlys ,"I will not give you it nor will let it be close to you!"
The monster laughs more and creates a firewall around them and walks towards them slowly ,"dont... forget... My, my... Name... Is... Myogafu..." Saria points the fire sword to Myogafu and smiles with fear ,"I'll keep that name in my mind... Myogafu!!" Saria slashes the sword down the fire begins her and runs away with Tiabishi out the cave
