"I know somewhere we can go".
Enya said with a smile on her face, as if what she's thinking is the best idea ever.
"Where?"
" Back to my clan".
Those words caused Astro to give her the side eye, seeing where this was going.
"Why would you invite a stranger in your clan".
"You're not just a stranger, you're a stranger who saved my life, and I haven't thanked you for that, I'd like to give you a thank you gift, from my clans vault".
'Not to mention you're a ruler'. she didn't say that out loud, as he didn't want to admit it yet, so she didn't want to call him out.
"You don't want me anywhere near you, trust me".
"Why do you say that?"
"I'll hurt you and your loved ones".
'…'
Hahaha!
Enya Blade just burst out laughing, she laughed so much, she held her stomach and tears appeared on the corner of her eyes, she couldn't believe what she heard, a peak, pupil existence thinks he can harm her, a king tier sword master and her loved ones, it's the most ridiculous thing she's ever heard.
He may be a ruler but that doesn't mean, he can overpower her, but to not offend him with her laughter, she held herself back.
"You don't need to worry yourself about that, trust me". She used his own words to clearly explain. "Me and my loved ones, are strong enough to protect ourselves".
Astro gave her another side glance.
"I believe you, but I'm still not interested, I have to start moving, I already have a destination in mind". He said as he got up from the floor, ready to disappear from here.
"What if I told you, I have something that could help you, something that could increase your power to a whole other level". Enya said with a sly smile.
Those words caused Astro to pause in his step, the temptation of power was too hard to resist, especially in a world like this where, personal strength is everything, you could literally die in a second due to a misunderstanding, without power, you are just a target to the wills of the powerful beings. Astro having learnt the ways of the world, was no stranger to the power chase.
"I'm listening".
"Let's take a walk, there's much to say". Enya also got up from the floor, walking towards the entrance of the cave, Astro followed her.
As they walked through the forest, appreciating the smell of nature, the view of tall trees and the sun rays peaking through the gaps. Since they defeated the overlord of this area of the forest, there was nothing to worry about as they are the apex predator now. As they continued walking, side by side, Enya began her explanation.
"The blade clan, has been around for at least a thousand years, so you can guess we have a deep foundation and in our history of being sword masters, we had a single Space ruler, who used the sword and in her 300 years of life, at the peak of her power, she developed her own techniques and a single space attribute technique, that technique has been in our vault for years, untouched since the day of her disappearance".
Enya paused for a second to check if she got his attention, and yes, Astro was interested and wanted to hear more, so with a nod, she continued.
"Now since you're a outsider, I can't just take it out and give to you, I'd have to pull some strings and use some favours, but I'm willing to do all that for you, that's how important I consider your existence".
"That's how important you consider my power." Astro retorted.
" If you want to put it that way, the point still remains, I'm willing to give the technique to you".
"Why should I trust you?"
"We can sign a blood oath."
" Then what do you want in exchange, I doubt you'd be so gracious as to give it to me for free."
"I can be gracious if I want, but on a serious note, what I want is…I want you to help us fight the Xion family".
