Aegis Counter
Vorus held the body of his fallen subordinates as the memories of their time together flashed through his aching heart.Eight years ago... the trio were merely kids of servants that served at the commander's castle.They were the only children in the castle as they were allowed to live there with their parents due to a rule that permits the maids and servants of the castle to live within the servant section with their families for as long as they work there.The district commander then was a ruthless and wicked tyrant who bullies the servants and everyone else in the district. He collected taxes even though all district commanders receive a hefty grant from the king every month.One day..."Who dares steal from Fuu the great!?"The castle was caught in an uproar as someone had stolen a ring under the possession of the commander.He ordered for all the servants to be brought to him."One of you peasants has taken something valuable from me. I'm sure the rest of you are all innocent so
Aegis Keep Calm
"My people..."The location was the middle of Kondo, right outside the prison.After the attack on the Kondo prison, the crew went on to bury their fallen comrades.Now, the citizens of Kondo gathered around Vorus as he addresses them."First, I want to begin by apologizing for not being here when you all needed me."Vorus went silent for a bit before he continued, he paused to look at the faces of the people around him.Some of them were skinnier than when he left, most had bandages covering their bodies, injuries they received from the Rada Khan's invasion.One thing that was the same with everyone around him was the look of total depression across their faces.It was understandable too."We have all lost people dear to us, people that were part of our daily lives... I promise all of you, no I swear on my name!"He slams his fist hard on his chest."Vorus V. Vladimir swears to bring you Rada Khan's head!"He pumps his fist high in the sky as the crowd cheer. It was more like a battl
Aegis The Ten Dons
Inside an unknown dungeon, Rada Khan was making his way to a specific cell.He was clad in royal attires and wore the crown that used to sit atop the head of the previous king."A while back, we were in a similar situation, brother." He smirked as he holds the bars of the cell containing a bruised and chained Rohan.Rohan was chained in a similar way that Rada Khan was chained when he was taken prisoner by Rhea and the Enders.Rohan slowly raises his head to look at his brother."Brother... what has gotten over you? The once noble man who raised me as a child, I refuse to believe you're the same."Rada Khan only laughed at Rohan's remarks as he bends to the level of his captive brother to stare directly into his eyes."It wasn't I who change, but you brother. I used to think that whatever the case, you will always stand beside me, if you did, you would be ruling with me today but instead, you chose a bunch of miscreants that have lost their way to the evil of the accursed relics.""Th
Aegis A week to prepare
The location was the district commander's Castle in Regrah. Rada Khan was sitting on a throne with his cheek rested on his palm."Oh Radaaaa, I'm back." Jester entered the room skipping around as he paused on his tracks when he was but a few steps away from Rada Khan."Jester, did you deliver the letter?"The masked clown laughed and gives him a thumbs up.Rada Khan smirked as he pulls out a map and hands it to the masked man."As promised, the map of Gaia's heart. This was a treasured heirloom passed down through the generations of the royal family that ruled Cronoa."Jester snatched the map and brings it up to his cheek to caress it like a lost pet."We both are getting what we desire, hahaha. You get the head of Stark's kid and I will get a very unique treasure after this."He begins to dance and spin around the room to Rada Khan's annoyance.'Once you aid me in apprehending my remaining enemies, I shall take your head as well. you accursed relic user. you are all the same to me.

Aegis Jester's Plot
"What do you mean he's our vice-captain?"The first to speak up after the revelation was Reginald, it was noticeable in the tone he exerted that he wasn't happy.'I thought I was the vice.'"Hihi! Well, he's stronger than I am, Regi and if it wasn't for him, we all won't be here right now." Ace replied with a grin as he slaps the back of his "best friend"."N-nice to meet you, Sir Kaz, I'm Conroy." Conroy gave the man a handshake which he readily accepts.Vorus and Maggie followed suit to welcome their new companion."Vorus. Spar with me soon, I'll love to face a man that the captain speaks of in high regards.""I'm Maggie, joined recently too.""Once again it's nice to meet you guys.""By the way, What are you doing all the way here Kaz?""It's a long story.""Let me guess," Reginald said. "It has something to do with Seven certain special individuals?"Kaz raised his eyebrow and looked at the thief."Sorry, and you are?" The remark made Reginald pop a vein."I'm Reginald Star!""Oka
Aegis The Waiter
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
