| THE TEN CHILDREN |
| The Ten Children are The Gods which Aria had created to manage over the World of Redlocnse once she's gone. Aria had created an Archangel to Teach The Ten Children the ways of Aria,
The Archangel Solomon.
But, there was a Traitor. Amongst the siblings. |
…
" If you Join the others just like you, there will be nothing that you can't wish for, Kalon si Enola. Even the safety of your race. "
…
Kalon was on Sheri's back as they left the area where they stayed for the night. Kalon woke up as he yawned. Rubbing his eye. Sheri turned to her side to glance at Kalon who was now awake.
" Oh, Morning Kalon! How was your sleep? You slept for a while! "
Kalon nodded. Smiling a bit, he stretched his arms. He blinked a bit more due to his eyes being slightly blurry.
" yes.. I did.. Thank you for carrying me, Miss Sheri.. "
Sheri smiled, chuckling heartily. Each step sounded like mud, they left trails as they walked down the path to Grandolia.
" yeah! Well.. "
All of them were covered by a Mana Barrier made by Sheri. Leif's hair was wet from the Recent Rain.
" We aren't so good, thankfully you didn't get a single droplet on you. Can't say the same for the rest of us. "
Then, Kalon spent the rest of the way apologizing to them for guarding him and Sheri.
Victor points Grandolia on the Map he held. Victor pointed ahead, Mud was on everyone's boots (except Kalon).
Gudo clicked his tongue in irritation since he had to clean it.
" we're close, just more walking and then we're there. "
Sheri sighed in relief, finally getting to relax in a nice bed after trekking for what seemed to be an hour or two.
Soon enough, All of them reached the Gates of Grandolia, Kalon was let down as Leif cleaned his hair with a towel lent by Gudo.
" Thanks, Let's rent a room for now. "
The Barrier above them dissipates the moment they enter Grandolia, A Golden, Shining Barrier protects the city as the City was bustling and lively.
" HELLOOOO!!!! Are you tourists from another country?! "
A Man with red hair walked up to the Five, as The Man pointed at them. Victor nodded, looking at the Man who was seemingly holding tourist lists.
" Uh.. Yeah, Why? "
The Man nodded with ecstatic energy.
" One for you.. One for you.. Another for you, and another for you.. And of course! "
The Man held out the paper filled with Tourist spots, folding one and forming an origami with mana energy, kneeling down and giving it to Kalon.
" one for the little man! "
Kalon smiled brightly, looking up at the Man with gratefulness.
" Thank you, Sir! "
The Man nodded, smiling gently. As he looked at The other 4. Chuckling slightly, scratching the back of his head.
" Ah, sorry. I'm Aurum, I give people guides around the city as my job. "
" ah, I see. If you can, can you lead us to a place where we can rest and clean up for now? We've been walking for 2 hours. "
Victor responded, asking a question along with his response. Aurum, The Guide, nodded.
" Sure! Come with me, I got a place for you to stay! I'll go so far to even rent it for you, how's that sound? "
Victor sighed in relief, knowing he's flat broke. And Grandolia is very expensive, stated in the Tour Guide Manuals.
" That'd be nice, thank you. Aurum. "
Aurum threw up a thumb, affirming that it's fine That he'll pay for the room.
" No problem! How about you tell me your names? "
Victor nodded, responding with The Names of The others behind him.
" I'm Victor Ivanov, The Others are Leif, Sagamore, Sheri, Gudo Nomasaki, and The Kid is Kalon si Enola. "
Leif was not there, as He left to look at The Sword Shops in the nearby Marketplace. Aurum pointed out that there are only 4 of them.
" What do you mean? There's only 4 of you. "
Victor turned to the spot where Leif once was, as Leif went into shops to see the swords they have in store here.
" … Where's Leif? "
Sheri pointed to the shop over there, Gudo takes a sip of the flask in his hand and passes it over to Kalon. Kalon takes a sip as well, the water was cold and refreshing.
Victor pinches the bridge of his nose in frustration.
" Sheri.. If you could.. "
Sheri walked over to Leif and dragged him back into the group, as Aurum led them to a place where they could stay for the night.
Sheri sat down, then laid her back on the bed. Sighing in relief as her back aches a bit. Victor was outside getting some food.
Kalon was sitting on the bedside floor making Origami with the tourist papers they got. Leif was asleep on the bed below Sheri.
Gudo walked into the room after washing his boots. Gudo stretched abit, sitting down on the bedside, next to Sheri.
" so.. Is there anything we should do? "
Sheri yawned.
" Tired already? "
Sheri playfully punched Gudo's shoulder, Chuckling. Gudo rubbed his shoulder, smiling a bit.
" Of course, ya idiot. I woke up first so it makes sense that I'm tired. "
" Yeah, I know. Just teasing, I guess. "
Gudo looked to The Side as Sheri laid her back on the bed. Sheri stretched her legs and arms as they fell limp. She sighed once again in relief.
" Welp, I'll be asleep.. Just wake me up when Ivanov or Aurum are back.. "
Gudo nodded.
" Yeah, okay. I'll wake you up. "
He got off the bed, as Sheri tucked herself in bed.
" Okay, I'll be here. K? "
Sheri nodded, before closing her eyes and falling asleep. Gudo flipped a coin and catches it, doing it repeatedly in a bored manner.

[ PARADOX SETTLEMENT - ??? ]
Beelzebub walks through the Hallways with Charles. Since they had encountered each other whilst walking.
" … Two days since you arrived from Hell, Huh. It's astounding how I hate you already. "
Beelzebub chuckled.
" Love you too, Charlie. "
Charles halted with veins on his neck and face. He looked up at Beelzebub who's clearly taller than him.
" don't ever call me Charlie again, nor tell me you love me.. You piece of shit. "
Beelzebub was a bit surprised, as He pinned Charles to the wall. Grinning whilst Charles looked at him with a spiteful look, his teeth gritted whilst veins bulge on his face.
" awww, you hurt me with your words dear… you can't remember last night? "
Beelzebub bluffs, The Crowd murmurs as Charles's face turns red, slapping Beelzebub's face. Deciding to play along.
" You don't deserve me! After all, you slept with someone else! You cheating man-whore, I thought you loved me! "
The Crowd gasped audibly at such a plot twist. Some even spectate this drama.
" I love you, You may as well take my heart Charles, it's already full of you. "
Charles blushed a bright red from Beelzebub's words sounding Genuine, He calmed down as his heart beat faster. Charles looked down, now fake crying as he looked up at Beelzebub.
" Please, go! "
Beelzebub placed his hand on Charles's cheek, wiping his tears. Knowing that they are fake.
" what is it, what's wrong my dear? "
Árgos was walking by as his arms were in his sleeves. He makes his way in front of the crowd as Beelzebub looks at Charles, making eye contact.
" ahem. Beelzebub will now halt. "
Beelzebub halted his movements, thus freezing him in his place whilst his hand was on Charles's cheek from Árgos using his Designated Paradox.
" Enough, all of you. get back to work. "
Beelzebub unfroze as Charles quickly walked away to his room whilst his heart was beating at a fast pace after that session.
" Had your fun, Lord Beelzebub? What exactly do you see that appeals you about Charles Greenday? "
Beelzebub looked at Charles walking away. Looking back at Árgos, Beelzebub walks away. Árgos sighed as he walked down the hallways.
His Footsteps echo in the hallways, as He stops, pushing a small plate in the wall and opening a secret door.
Árgos walked into the room where an Assassin was bathing in a pool of blood with two women next to them.
" I assume you already got the Information of Where Kalon si Enola is. and The Location of your son. "
The Assassin was looking up as They had a burn mark on half of their body. They nodded as the women who were next to them got out of the pool.
The Women handed over a towel and folded clothes for The Assassin to clean themselves. The Assassin stretched, kissing the two women on the forehead. Then pulling away.
" Yeah, I figured he'd be in Grandolia. "
Árgos teleported with the Assassin to a meeting room as there was a large crystal wall where it was observing where Gudo, Kalon, Leif and Sheri were, along with the Location of Victor & Aurum.
" I think you're good at this, Isn't that right… "
" Kaori Nomasaki? "
Kaori bowed, Kaori raised her head up.
" Leave it to me, Lord Árgos. "
" Very well, Dismissed. "
Kaori disappeared
.
.
Aurum was in an Alleyway, with a magic eye in front of him as he sweats a little.
" I told you all about them.. Can you please let this City go now…? I did everything you asked.. "
A woman teleported behind the eye, crushing it as flesh and blood splattered on the wall and on Aurum.
" I have something else to claim other than Kalon si Enola, so I'll give you one chance to answer this, What information do you have on.. Gudo Nomasaki? "
