Ascenders: Rising To Hero

1. Excerpt

"Hi, are you two the ones Eno sent? I am Ronke. Is that the charge?" Ronke asked, moving to touch the cart.

"Hey, hands off!" Shin growled, slapping her hands off.

In terms of height, Ronke, the 5.7ft Familiar only had a few inches taller than Hana and Shin, making her like a big sister with her calculative eyes and calm smile. However, in comparison to other spirit beings, the trio were actually short as most spirit beings had their average height from 7ft and above.

"Who are you?" Hana gritted, pointing the tip of her thin, long blade at Ronke's neck. 

"Okay, okay! I'm so tired, let's not resort to violence. " Ronke backed out with her two hands in surrender.

She rubbed the little finger with the ring. Light glowered and then, on the other hand, the orb, the same orb she used before appeared.

She repeated the same motions, clocking and tapping the orb under the watchful gaze of the two. Soon enough, light formed a screen and in the screen, the video of before played out. The one in which Hana kept shoving Shin away.

"See? I am the Ronke you were supposed to deliver that to." Ronke smiled nervously.

"Please put the sword down!" Hana eyed her before flicking her finger, the sword contesting and shrinking into the spatial ring she has too.

"It's dusk in a few, we better get to an Inn to cool off. Then by dawn, you two can begin to return. I presume that the charge is there?" Ronke asked.

"Why should we trust you?" Hana fired, her eyes still fierce and untrusting.

"You actually have no reason to trust me. Like I said, you would leave by Dawn and that's me being hospitable. If you desire to leave now, very well, go ahead." Ronke shrugged, walking in the middle of the duo to the cart. 

She lifted the covering a bit, peeking at the white-brown fur that rose in resonance to the heaving of the slumped wolf in it.

"We should leave. Something like this would raise several questions." 

"You know, taking someone without permission to another place is the same as kidnapping, right?" A voice boomed out from the cart, freezing them all to the spot.

The cart shuddered and Ronke flinched. Just then, Shin raised the front covering of the cart and hurled it over the roof. With visibility, they see the now awake Wolf staring daggers at them even though it lay on its paws.

"First, the Hadjans knock me out. Now, you again want to take me to an Inn. I am not comfortable with this." The wolf spoke yet again.

Ronke swallowed, stepping forward. "I-i can help you. You and I have met before."

"I am aware!" Bayo the wolf growled out. "It was not pleasant. That's why if I am not let out of here in the next instant, hells gonna come crashing!"

"I was there!" Ronke swallowed again, carefully walking to the cart. "I was there when Jaspar got stabbed with a curse."

Just then, Bayo jolted up but hit the iron roofings above.

"What? Where is Jaspar?"

"He's with his father. Having the best medical care you can imagine. But he won't make it."

"Don't you dare…" Bayo growled, his eyes mistening. 

"I know how dear he is to you. He knows, he even sent me with this note to you." Ronke fondled her ring and soon enough, she held a piece of paper to the air.

It read-

Hi, Bayo.

I got rescued by Ronke or I ought to have been dead. The curse is so powerful. I am dying. Only the dragon weed can reverse the technique on me.

But I don't ask you to find it. I actually don't have many days left, so, I hope you're safe in Magmor. 

Enjoy your life and understand several things about yourself. 

Your friend, Jaspar

The wolf heaved, it's fur shaking visibly. Ronke sighed. 

"I can help you get the dragon weed. It is an abundant herb in Familiar Lands. I can show you how to get it…

But, I need you to help me in return."

CULLED FROM: 

Book 1; Breaking Protocols II

Ascenders; Rising From Zero

(A/N)

Okay Guys, lets start. 

If you are reading this book for the first time(You skipped Ascenders; Rising From Zero), then you are welcome. 

If not, still welcome but I think I owe you an apology. Lol. While ending Book 1, i mentioned that it would be 3-4 months before I resumed book 2 but here, its not even 3 months yet. I have already grown tired of missing Bayo, Shin and Hana that I had to start the plans for the book once again. 

I hope you are excited as I am, too? 

Brief recap? Check the Prologue Chapter. 

In here, we would be seeing Bayo work more in a team than before. Yes, he did that before but now, he would be doing this more as a team leader other than just a team player. So, we would see some new buff moves. That too, we also expect to see Shin. Hana and the rest of their goody go team powerup and do amazing things. 

Alright, enough said. I am super excited to be here, once more. Soooo, cheers to a brand new adventure. or maybe a continuation of the former since Bayo is currently decommisioned. Lol, its still new though. 

Welcome once more.
