Aegis Adacus
The location was the front of an old and shaggy cafe in Black Seed.It was the same cafe that the Seven Saints had their meeting.Kaz had led them here in the hopes that they might find a clue as to the whereabouts of Shuntal and the other saints."Woah!""Solemn..."The gang all stared in awe as they made their way into the cafe, to their amazement, the place was nicely kept and clean. Had chandeliers hanging from the top and golden colored paints on the wall."This place looks like a mini luxurious hotel on the inside.""How comes a good-looking place like this is located in the heart of a vile area such as Black Seed?" As Maggie finished, an eerie voice echoed in the room in response to her question."That's because NOBODY enters Adacus's cafe without an invite!""Eeee!" Maggie and Conroy began shaking down to their knees as they held each other's hands."Who's there?""Are you deaf or something? I said my name is Adacus!"Just then, smoke began to encase the room making the six Ae
Aegis Leveling up
"Wow! This coffee is superb, Sir Adacus.""Mhmmm. Purely exquisite in every way." Maggie added.Their facial expression showcased a feature of pleasure and amazement."What's the secret recipe to such an amazing coffee?" Vorus asked as he takes another sip at his cup."The quality of the beans, the ratio of beans to water, the amount of time the coffee is brewed for, the coarseness or fineness of the beans, even the temperature of the water and the amount of time it is left standing for will all affect how sweet or bitter each particular cup tastes," Adacus replied and poured more coffee in their cups. "But, the most important ingredient... Is love.""Pft. Love? You can't eat love, old man." A vein seemed to pop on his head upon hearing Reginald's remark. Maggie smacked the head of the thief knocking his hat in the process. "Hey! What do you that for?""By love. I mean the passion for what you do. Making coffee takes patience and such patience can only be achieved if one has the love
Aegis Elemental Aura
Ace and Kaz were currently having a sparring session."You have gotten stronger!" Kaz said as he parries a straight jab from Ace and responds with a spinning kick which the latter avoids by jumping out of range.Ace then summons his daggers. "So have you!" He exclaimed with a wide smile on his face and then charges at his sparring partner.With a couple of unique footsteps, Kaz avoided the flurry of swings from the daggers and manages to slap them away from Ace which in turn resulted in the daggers returning to the assassin's shadows."We'll call it a day. What're our scores now?"They made their way to the counter to have some biscuits and coffee."185 battles with me leading with 93 wins."Ace then stares at the dark hallway which Adacus and Maggie entered.Vorus walks up to the two. "Do you think she's alright?""Heh, it's Maggie we're talking about here... Of course, she's fine!"Vorus and the others couldn't help but worry about the historian as it has been two days now since the
Aegis Infiltration
"Four hundred years ago, a war broke out between humans and relimen." Adacus was reading out to Maggie from a book.She was practicing with her new powers as the others were getting packed and ready to depart."The lands were ravaged by the destruction and the sees became dry. When all hope seems lost for the world, Seven heroes appeared and put an end to the war. They were a group of both humans and relimen... They were celebrated as champions within their fields of expertise and went on to later be called... The Seven Saints."He walked up to her and handed her the book."Keep it. You seem to be quite interested in the world's history. There aren't many books as good as this.""Thanks. Uhm, do the relimen still exist? As in outside of crypts.""Now what good will that be if I tell you? Find out yourself.""Guys!" Vorus came running carrying luggage."We're ready to depart."They silently nod and all made their way to Dragonheart."Any word from Rhea?""Yep, they've done their best t
Aegis Letter for Conroy
"Take care, Ace.""We'll be back before you know it hihi.""Conroy.""Yes Sir Reginald?""I don't know what you might find out there but... Try and keep your calm at always."Conroy smiled at the advice from his teammate."I know you must be thinking that there's a chance Serena is alive. Don't get your hopes crushed and your will shattered even further.""Don't worry Sir Reginald, whatever happens, I won't lose focus on the mission at hand. This battle isn't just for revenge. It's also for the faith of two nations and possibly the entire Western Continent."As Conroy was bidding his farewell with Reginald, Ace was having a conversation with Kaz in private."Kaz, you'll take command of the clan while I'm gone. Keep an eye on Vo as well, I'm worried he might be overtaken by his emotions especially since Jester knows his way around getting inside a person's head. Vorus can be reckless when not kept in line." He was referring to the way Vorus and Conroy acted when Jester appeared.'If Re
Aegis Reunion
"Wh-what are you doing here? Rohan!"Jake grabbed the bars of the cell as he stares at the sight of someone he never thought he would meet in such a condition."I should be asking you the same." He raised his head to see Ace emerging from his shadow. "Ace? What's going on?""We're leading a rebellion against your brother by freeing the prisoners here to lunch a two-sided assault against his army that's currently on route to Kondo."Ace's precise and blunt summary of the situation fazed the two."Heh. You're still the same." Rohan smirked."Step back, I'll cut the bars." Rohan obliged and Jake slashed the hard metal bars of the cell.Rohan stepped outside and stretched his arms. "Thanks.""You're welcome."Rohan looked at Jake and spoke in an apologetic tone."Listen, Jake... I know all of this is my fa-""Enough. When we heard that Khan had overtaken both nations, we feared that he might've... Killed you. I'm glad you're safe, we all are."Rohan smiled at his long-time friend."Roro,
Aegis Outnumbered
"Devil woman, we received word from the Demon spawn. They've succeeded in their infiltration mission and will join us in a bit."Rhea had a malevolent smile on her face."Gather everybody."A few minutes later, Rhea, the Enders, and the Aegises were all gathered around the castle entrance."Rada Khan is already near the outposts. It is time.""Everybody, gear up! Eat! Take a 10 minutes nap or whatever... We're going to war!"They all cheered in unison as they prepped themselves, physically and mentally."So, we all know our parts?"Rhea and Vorus nodded at Reginald."Hehe." Kaz slaps the back of the thief. "Don't worry about a thing, your plan is foolproof. We just have to hold on till the cavalry arrives.""Well then, as the Demon spawn will say... Let's do this thing."..."Woah."The alliance was currently staring off against Rada Khan's army."Hahahaha! Just as expected. Rhea Kay will join the party as well.""Khan! We should have just killed you off when we had the chance.""Oh b
Aegis Three against one
Ace, Conroy, and Vorus had managed to defeat a weakened Jester.Conroy ran towards the City to get medics so the injured can be healed.While Ace, on the other hand, made his way back to the battlefield.A few moments ago..."Guys! Vo is in trouble, that Jester over there is a fake.""I was with him when he picked up Adacus earlier. He made off to the direction of the district. I thought he'd be back by now.""Tsk." Ace activated his Seismic Insight. Unlike before, it took him a while to activate.He was already tired from all the battling and using a wide-ranged sensory technique like that will drain him."Gotcha." He opened his eyes."Conroy, let's go!"That was how Ace and Conroy made their way to Jester."Hahaha." Rada Khan bursts into a peal of maniacal laughter."Your strongest asset has just abandoned you to fall at the hands of the clown."He pulled his sword as Kira followed suit."But don't worry, as the clown takes care of the trash, I shall round up here."They were curren
