" Brother?" says Ares moving backwards.
" Long time no see, C" says her brother.
" Why are you here, Kam, your supposed to be Scouting out royal cities " Cera says
" I got a week-long break. Now, who's the guy you're with? He is strong." says Kam
They start walking through the food stalls,
" We rescued him from a colosseum, he may only be a low level but he was close to beating a full raging Thorus child, treat him like a brother" Cera tells Kam
Ares is still getting pulled along by Cera, Kam says that he wants to fight Ares and Take him on some missions.
Once they finish shopping Ki welcomes them back, surprised that Kam is there. Once they set the food down, Ares and Kam walked outside to battle each other, while that is happening Ki asks Cera something,
" C, do you know anything about a girl called Athena? Has Ares told you anything about her"
" When we first met, he thought I was Her, same coloured hair. How about you?"
" The other day, I was going to bed but I saw that Ares was up, I saw that he was writing a letter so I asked who it was for he said it was for his big sis Athena, I asked for more about her, he told me that she was the best big sis even though they were not related, but one day she disappeared. " says Ki, now sitting at the table with Cera.
" Your thinking what I am right Mum, that she is probably dead" says Cera
" Yes, I think because he was young when it happened, he has purposely forgot the memory"
Moments later, Ares and Kam walk arm around each other, because they are covered in bruises. Ki rushes over to help them, Cera signs at their stupidity.
" Ares is strong like you said Sis, He's way stronger than he looks"
Ares and Kam start laughing, Cera says,
" You guys are acting like you have been friends forever"
They continue laughing. Kam has now been here for a few months, Ares and Kam constantly either fighting each other or annoying Cera, and going on missions and Ares hair has been cut shorter,
It's now dinner time, Kam and Ares telling horrible jokes and then cracking up. Cera is laughing because they are laughing and Ki is smiling. Then Carlos walks back in, Says Hi to Kam. then he says
" I have an Important job for you three. We are going to stop a slave trade in the city of Thorn. Come start packing, if we uses Spatial magic we should be able to get there by morning"
Ares and Kam rush up, thanking Ki for the meal. Then both try to rush up the stairs at the same time causing them to fail back down, they make it on the third attempt. Cera follows normally behind. Ares, Cera, Kam, and Carlos are now in the center of town by the mission board and Door, then Carlos walks up to the door and says Thorn
Carlos tells Ares that the old commander of sector x, was a master in spatial magic before she left she gave them access to most of the major cities like Thorn or Itrium.
They walk through, spatial magic is not instant, they have to walk ⅕ the distance to get there. They walk in a place called the astral void. Every 1 km in the real world is five in the astral void.
Ares is really confused, then he starts floating. Kam joins him. Cera thinks that they are bad influences to one another. Carlos warns them to do that for too long because if you get caught in a gust without walking you can get trapped in here. That terrifies Ares.
Carlos is informing them of the mission, 'they discovered that there is a hidden Slave trade in the darkside of the city, royals only. They sell men, women, children for whatever the royal wants them for. All these royals are minor ones but we think that a Thorus is running it'.
Ares asks " what do the people their think"
Carlos takes a breath, " if you are a person that is moderately wealthy, the royals do not treat you like a minor race, so all the people in the town. Would not believe us even if we had evidence"
Ares is fuming, Cera puts her hand on his back and tells him to relax. It takes until early morning until they are out of the astral void, when they exited the door, they found themselves in a modern room. Ares says it smells like a rich guy. They see a couch by the wall, there is a man sitting on it, he puts his cup of tea down on the table.
" Welcome Carlos, Kam, Cera, and you must be Ares the gladiator" says the guy
" No just Ares" responds Ares not understanding what he meant
He laughs then says
" Nice to meet you, my name is Endri, I am part of Olympus sector Y, a guy from sector T will be here soon"
I will now explain what will happen later tonight. He waves his hands and then a 2d map of the town appears, He points to the locations we will be stationed at, Him and Carlos, Ares and Cera and-,
Two guys enter the room, one of them is dressed like he's going to a wedding and the other one is in a fur coat, and shorts, he does not have his t-shirt on. The Guy in the suit says.
" You Servants, Prepare to be blessed by the sight of our lord, Jern."
The guy in the suit suddenly does a cringy pose, he looks around and see Cera, he walks over
" Hello Beautiful, since you are blessed to see my body in person. I shall let you Marry me"
His suit guy grabs out two rings that look expensive, but then he feels two hands on his shoulder and sees a very very scary looking Ares and Carlos. He ignores them and tries to grab Cera's hand, but then she socks him in the face. Blood comes out his nose, he then crashes into a wall knocking him unconscious. Cera then shakes her fist to get rid of his blood. Ares then walks over grabs the rings out of the guys hand, then he picks up the knocked out Jern and chucks them both out of the nearby window.
" You realise this is the 3rd floor" says Endri
" If he's as strong as he says he is, he should survive" responds a ticked off Carlos
His servant rushes out of the room.
" now then" says Endri
He keeps explaining what will happen on the mission, 'they will launch their attack when the first round of slaves are being sold, that's when Ares and Cera will attack the main building, Me and Carlos will target the slave transfers, and the other two can just sit this one out, and Kam, who has been restrained by Ceras Bind spell, you will watch the entrance area to the building, and knock out and restrain all the royals that are not already inside, we want to only kill as little as possible here, remember it won't just be us their will be more people here to assist"
He then clicks his fingers, some food appears on the table by the couch, they all sit down eating. Except for Kam who wants to hunt down Jern and Kill him 100 times over. It's delicious.
At this time an injured Jern is in tears and is getting carried by his suit guy, he is mumbling about wanting to take all the credit for this event and then all the girls will want to marry him.
It's now time for the mission, Cera and Ares and standing on the roof of a castle-like building which is in the middle of the forest. Kam is hidden in the trees. They are all wearing ninja like costumes, which made Ares and Kam super hyped up. Carlos and Endri and Both standing Behind the trees, which help conceal a hidden road. Jern is in the middle of the forest with his suit guy trying to find his way there.
In the building there's lots of royals; men and women all in fancy costumes. All were wearing masks, then a masked man and woman walked onto the stage, they both had yellow hair. Lighting is sparking around them.
" Ladies and gentleman, welcome to our 2nd ever 'Adoption event' " says the female
" Prepare your bids the first one will come out now, she is 12 years of age, no scars, Grey hair and green eyes, Bring her out" says the man
The girl walks out, she is wearing just a bed sheet and her arms and legs are both bound by chains
" ready" says Endri
" ready" everyone except for Jern and suit guy says
" Mission start" says Endri
