Chapter 8 - The Path (Pt.6)

As a few hours pass, Eligot just lays on his bed thinking, his eyes slowly drift off to the corner of the room. Sitting there is a lonely little piano all by itself, it looks like it hasn't been touches in years. Eligot slowly gets up from his bed and sits on the chair in front of the piano. His fingers start to hesitate unsure of playing the instrument, but alas he powers trough each one of the notes he plays carries a lot of emotion with it, and a tear slowly falls down from his eye. His playing gets more dramatic as he reaches the climax of the piece he is playing, and he ends the piece. Suddenly Eligot hears a knock on the door and heads to open it, as he opens it Rosier is standing there, "Yo, Eligot i came to check on you, since youve been in here for a few hours." Rosier says, "Rosier! Thank goodness you're okay!" Eligot says as his face lights up, "You didn't think i would get beaten that easy right? Anyway i researched the man who attacked us. From all the intel i could gather it seems that he is the commander of the 6th Royal Squadron." Rosier said, "The 6th Royal squadron isn't that one of the angel squadrons?" Eligot asked with a worried tone, "Indeed it is a part of the six angel squadrons, and its the weakest one at that, as you may already know the Royal army is split into squadrons each squadron has their own commander, but furthermore there are two groups of squadrons the six angel squadrons are the squadrons commanded by the six strongest runebones born to the royal family, on the other hand we have the six demon squadrons, their commanders are basically runebones who were given the choice beetwen death and commanding a squadron, each of the angel squadrons is just a bit stronger than their demon counterpart, os basically the 1st angel squadron is the strongest one while the 6th angel squadron is the second weakest squadron." Rosier said, "And since you found out what squadron commander he is, have you found out his name?" Eligot asked, "Indeed his name is Azrael, he is also the youngest of the Angel commanders." Rosier answered, "Damn it! Just as i thought he found us." Eligot said while spacing out, "Huh? Do you know him from somewhere?" Rosier asked, "All that i remember from my childhood other than being saved from death by Amy is the name of the man who did something horrible to me, his name was Azrael." Eligot said, "Well then we should go train so that we can take revenge, but this makes me wonder, if the angels who everyone says are beautiful people who do only good did something horrible to you, what do the demons do?" Rosier said Intriguedly, "Well, we dont know yet but i guess we should go find a training spot." Eligot said. Suddenly the door is opened by Amy who kicked it, "I know the perfect place for training!" Amy yelled, "Were you eavesdroping?" Eligot asked, "Only the last part where you said you needed to train, and i know the perfect spot so lets go!" Amy said, they decide to leave to go to the training spot and they reach a huge opening in the middle of the forest, "And here we are!" Amy said proudly, "Oh its a pretty alright spot i guess." Eligot said, "Be more suprised idiot!" Amy yells, "Yeah, whatever lets just start training." They get to training Eligot meditates more, while Rosier kicks trees down training his leg strength, while Amy shoots arrows at trees untill she hears the sound of her arrow hitting something that sounds like metal, she approaches the tree and pulls her arrow out and she sees some red crystal, "Hey guys, what is this." Amy says as she pulls a crystal with runic writing on it out of the tree, "Amy you just found a rune!" Rosier yelled enthusiastically, "Oh, you found a rune do you wnat me to fuse it with your bow?" Eligot asks, "Wait you can fuse runes with weapons?" Amy asks shocked, "Yeah i learned how to do it." Eligot answered, "Well, go ahead then." Amy said. Eligot walks up to the bow and picks the rune up in his hand and the bow in the other hand, then he puts the bow on the ground and picks his rapier up and makes the tip of the rapier touchthe bow, suddenly the red crystal starts glowing and after a few seconds the crystal dissapears and runic writing appears on the bow, "Okay try it." Eligit said, Amy picked the bow up and put the arrow in and shot it out the moment that it hit the tree, the tree started to rot untill it withered out.
