"My lord , its time, its almost dawn" the red hair female turned and said to the young man,
"I see!"
"what are we going to do with the Selios Empire?",
"no need to touch them, since they surrendered , after all they gave us information about the valestine which we have already destroyed , I believe those old fools will had already caught wind of it already",
"meanwhile, inform those two to investigate discreetly, I think our hideout is no more".
"what do you mean my lord?", shock could be seen on her face, "the other five are there, and we have the tower".
"that is the more reason I said so, I can no longer feel my connection with the tower",
"who ever or what ever they fought, is definitely formidable".
the young man sighed and look at the night stars once more
"send a message to Selios"
...
Alice
a young man was shouting while scratching his head
did you alter the system warning message,
what do you mean
I thought am suppose to not have mana for a year, why is all my start dropped again,
I helped you , you should be saying thank you, Alice snorted feeling angry
never mind that my dear Alice, Dorian started saying nice and sweet things to his system Alice, you know I do care about you,
do me this favour okay
hmmph!
what do you need master
what is Ember situation right now?
well lets see , i don't think she will make it,
what do you mean?
she is fighting your familiar , the one you turned into a ware wolf ,
who? that mage
did he not die , Dorian was feeling surprise that incomplete warewolf is still alive
hmm , she might be strong, but against a formal six circle wizard, who was turned into a ware wolf is no joke , unless I unseal her powers
system, observe her condition, if you feel she is near death, unseal her powers,
let me go see whats going on
...
slash!
boom!
she barely did a back flip to dodge the incoming strike from Voldo , the floor was punched, making every where tremble in the room.
her body was filled with cuts and bruises, she cold barely hold on, while staring at the wolf like man coming for her without no sense of awareness or been sane
if only I had my powers , she gritted her teeth, and swore
while she is been vigilant, Voldo eye grew more blood red , all is muscle swelling up , claw growing more longer
is he going into berserk mode, oh god!
woosh! , before she could evade , a heavy punch ran into her stomach, sending her couple of meters away. She wanted to stand up , but the wolf seems to know what she wanted to do, he grabbed her by the neck as if holding a chicken and struck her abdomen with his left claw.
hha! she screamed out loud , for the claw was still in her body, she has never been wounded to this extent before , for while she was a vamp, her system heal some wounds almost instantly..
he removed his claw , blood gushing out of her body why she could barely hold on.
the wolf man put his claw close to her heart , preparing to deliver the final strike to send her to nirvana, she just looked at the beast before him, with the same unreadable face, all she was just thinking was , she cant die like this , at least not yet
I have to get my revenge, I can't just yet, she thought , for it was not the fear of death that saddens her nor the pain she was feeling this very moment.
before the claw could penetrate her heart, a blood red barrier covered the space around her chest blocking the claw, all of the beast hair stood on end, the wolf man instinctively tried to let go of her , for he could sense the impeding danger ,blood like rope came from the bodies around, and gabbed the wolf ,rendering him defenseless, he let go of her , try to break free but to no avail.
Ember stood up, her body healing rapidly to the naked eyes, her abdomen was doing a self regrowth
**honestly the wolf thought he was the only one with that ability* *
she walked towards the beast, looking at him with no expression or emotion, her canine extending out, grabbed the beast and bit him by the neck, sucking his blood dry
tud!
the body fell on the floor, changing back from the beast a human, barely looking like Voldo.
clank! clank! clank!
she heard the sound of someone walking in and turned
Dorian walked in and saw bodies on the floor including the familiar that was sucked dry by her.
"so that's when a vampire is in its starved state too long" Dorian said to her
dum!
the room was suddenly covered with red barrier
"the fact that you know what about vampires and you can turned into a lycan ,shows you know a lot , now that my powers are back am going to have to ask you nicely" , she said,
Dorian was just at the little stain of blood on her lips
what are you thinking master
Alice am not thinking anything , mind your business
do you want to kiss her master
"..."
anyways, hope I can still control her, you know my powers have been sealed again
sure you can, during that time u fed your blood to her, she became yours, and also this might be your new body, your spirit is that of a prime
I turned and looked at Ember, there are many things you are unaware of Ember, she looked surprised and wondered what i was going to say next, but not before her bat wing extended out of her back
god! she looks like a valkyrie, I simply thought to my self
there are many world out there, your world filled with dark races, my world with home of mages , there also the arcane world, and even world of dragons,
she looked at me , intending to strike at any moment, "that's not what am asking" she said
looks like i'll have to think of something
don't worry master, why don't you tell her' that' story master, Alice sent a story tale into my brain , not bad not bad indeed
yep! am always useful master
hmph! I sighed , walked up to a near by stone and sat down,
when I was a little boy, I think around seven to eight years old, I met a beggar , who asked for a penny, the first day , I gave him, and in turned told me something intriguing , he said my constitution was not high, and that if I were to give him food, he will tell me a secret, so I gave him, he then pass me parchment, which I brought home. Honestly, I thought he was a swindler , so I just dropped it some where in my room . Many days past , and I saw the same beggar , I walked towards him, and I told him he was a liar, he told me that I didn't open it , I felt surprised , so I went home to study it, long story short , the night I tried what was written there , i cut my blood and place it on it , and the book disappeared , I started filling weird, like hunger ,and also angry easily . I met up with the old beggar later, which he later taught me every thing I know, and that he was a prime in your world
the world 'prime ' got her surprised
"he told you he was a prime?", she dashed towards me and held me by my cloth , I stood up and said "yes!".
she looked me in the eye to see if I was lying , but to no avail, "where is he now?". she asked
she didn't even asked about the rest of the story, all she is just interested in is just prime, seems like there as never been any prime after me ... hmm i thought
"what is a prime?" I asked her,
she looked at me then let go , and said "did he not tell you what a prime is ?".
I answered and said
"well he told me just little, he said prime are like ten circle wizard , which I doubted , cause if there was ten circle mage here at least i have not heard or seen one before,
.hmmph, "he his correct to say that",
"in my world , I have never seen a prime, have only heard of it in scrolls left behind by our predecessors , they said they were basically gods , I mean I taught it was far fetch till I heard it from your lips , where is the beggar now?",
"that's the thing , after instructing me for five years , he vanish, I couldn't see him again".
while she was distracted in thoughts , I looked at her and locked my lips with hers ,
feeling shocked and surprise, with her cheek burning red, extended her claws and stabbed me , she felt confused, for no man has ever kissed her before,
hha! I shouted , and let go , while i did a fake fall and fainted,
what have I done , she checked my pulse, and discovered I was still breathing ,
wait why is he not healing she thought, or maybe he is exhausted, she cut herself up a little and pour her blood on my wound.
I open my eyes a little , and murmured a little so she can hear, "I think I love you Ember". then I closed my eyes .
honestly master you deserve an Oscar awards for this
what do you mean?
you just stole her first kiss
really,
where is she going,
watching Ember standing up , she walked towards one of the narrow corridor , and left for some minutes before coming back with a body on her shoulder,
oh wait isn't that ...
thud!
she dropped the body
"I know you are up "
hmm looks like someone was caught
I just go up I looked at her, she looked at me and turned her head away
why am I feeling this way, she thought
he kissed me, am suppose to be angry with him .
what is wrong with her, why did she turned her heard away,
I just fain ignorant and looked at the body she brought,
"she is alive" I said
Ember looked at the girl and her eyes glowed red and the girl regained consciousness,
this girl was the other mage, I wonder why she didn't kill her in the woods then
she woke up feeling a bit dizzy, while trying to adjust her head a little.
"what is your name?" , Ember asked her ,turning her head she saw the two familiar face especially the smiling boy who turned into something else. she was very afraid, she a mage ,afraid of a seventeen year old boy, she instinctively went back a little.
"why are you afraid ? I asked, as soon as the word left my mouth, I felt awkward.
"..."
I mean I basically destroyed this whole place.
I shouldn't have said that I feel like finding a hole to bury my head
"I won't ask you again?", said Ember
"my name is Quisa" she said
"what is this place for? , and why where did you guys keep old and young prisoners here?", Ember said, looking at her trying to perceive a lie.
" I don't know, my rank is not high enough, and I was also brought here as a prisoner, when I was just a kid"
"hmm" this came as a surprise to Dorian and Ember, it never occur to them that she was also a prisoner.
I decide to ask a a question that Ialready know the answer to
"are those five the only strong ones?"
"you two should leave here, there are seven others, and the most disturbing one is our leader".
Ember look surprised a little, but I just pretended to feel shocked.
"no way!" I replied
"how strong is he?". Ember asked
"I don't know! , have never seen our leader, in fact, not many of us have seen him, we only know that the twelve are very afraid of him".
"Ember I think we should leave this place" Dorian said to Ember
as soon as the words left my lips, she just shot me a look and just looked at Quisa once more.
"you should know the reason why I did not kill you",
"I know"
"you are not a bad person, you are just following orders",
"and i hate to think that after we go , you will still remain here",
"so what are you going to do now?",
Quisa was tongue tide, for she was unsure of what to say at this moment
I decided to chip into the conversation , to help her a little,
"how about you put on a mask ,cut your hair and become my maid"
Ember looked at me as if was weird
cough! cough!
I started coughing , feeling embarrassed,
"its only a suggestion, or you have a better idea".
master i think you are trying to create a harem
"..."
"I will do it"
good!
"lets rest a bit, its almost dawn, we setoff at first crow" . I stood up and left the two girls to do their thing , while I went on the look out.
...
Morning came, the castle was in ruins, and we have set of to the academy, Quisa was the one showing us directions, thought the system could have lead us , but I wanted to be on lowkey for now, besides, my powers are already sealed for now, am sure it will be one hell of a headache for me in the academy now.
Alice
yes master
once we reach the Academy, strip Ember of her powers ok, let her just protect us for now.
yes master.
Meanwhile, trouble was fast approaching, two formidable mage where on their way to the castle.
"what do you think is going on Aziel?". said Duma
" I don't know , but for the Summit to have that weird feeling, I think something has happen to our base".
"but Icaris and the other are there what could go wrong?, beside we have the tower! ".said Duma
"lets hope so"
"or could it be the work of the other empires, have they caught on with our plans"
"lets forget about it for now Duma , lets keep up the pace ."
...
outskirt of Meliodas Empire
In a spacious room, a young man wearing military attire sat down looking at one the men reporting, from the room angle , you could see a big map, showing different territory, if one were to look closely, you will see this young man was similar in facial structure with Dorian Waldof , yes this was the first young master of the waldolf , the one hailed as a genius of the generation.
"report, have they found my brother" said the young man sitting , while holding a scroll
"the monsters have yet to attack, but some of our men are still holding the fort ".
"hmm"
"have reinforcement stationed , we shouldn't be too relaxed, for they might attack any moment".
"yes sir".
"any word from my father"
"no sir "
"I see, you may live"
a knight came out from the shadows and stood beside the young man
"are you worried about your brother?"
the young man just smiled and shook his head while thinking,
people think am the genius of the generation, but they don't know that our last brother Dorian , his but a complete prodigy, but he hide so deeply that only members of the family are aware of him.
"sir do you think it is the work of your father enemies,"
"nobody knows that, he could be them though?, or could be some barbarians looking for ransom "
"lets just focus on pushing those monsters back for now, am sure where ever my brother his he should be alright."
I have never seen the first young master worried about any one like this , even when his father the Duke was at war with other empires, she thought to her self.
I wonder how the two brother compared to this Dorian waldof,
...
"..."
some one is cursing or talking about me behind my back
