My head still hurts along with my body. I still remember those knights beating me up after taking me captive. Currently, I am put in a cell with my body chained to the wall. My two artifacts were confiscated. I try to explain my side, but none of them believe me. They accused me of releasing the demon-kind on Artemis city's surface. As my wounds healed up with my ability. They made it solid proof that I was a demon-kind. I don’t even have any knowledge of why I smell like one. Are you fine? Choco speaks at my head again worriedly. “I’m fine… This is nothing. I’m not the same person as before. I’ll take this problem with a cool head and explain it over again." But no one believes your story. Why does such a cruel thing need to happen? This event must’ve reminded you of the past. I lowered my eyes and my head clouded with thoughts. I can’t believe that I was accused of a crime that I haven't done again. I wonder what my friends will think. Kisara and everyone. It has still been h
With the high priestess's order, I was freed from my chains. After a brief time of treatment and healing, I was invited to the headquarters to have a conversation with the high priestess. I had many questions on my mind. Like what does the knight of heaven even mean? Choco does say that I’m her knight, but I never further push her because it seems like a sensitive question and she is not ready to give me an answer. Kisara and Charlotte wanted to come along with me, but the high priestess insisted that she wanted to talk with me alone. Entering the headquarters chapel where she usually resides. She’s sitting on the chair commonly seen in the churches near the altar, her gaze fixed on the angelic statue. I bowed my head. “Like I said before… There is no need for formality. For starters, you could sit down here.” She tapped the seat beside her. I sat beside her awkwardly feeling a little uncomfortable. She is really nice and the one who saved my life. I was very grateful to her, bu
At the mountain where the skeleton of the dragon could be found. Princess Yume and her assistant Koroko are on their way away. At the last moment, Yume got a sense of a heavy feeling down on her chest. After the gust of wind blows back to Artemis city, she turned her head slightly looking back. Thinking, more accurately she was worried and anxious about what was going to happen to Red. Red farmed from the crime she committed brings favor for them and leads them on a path to get away. Koroko does feel relief at how things turned out. Merely thinking that Red was an unlucky one to be at that moment. “Red… Maybe, I can save him… If I unleashed more monsters right now.” Yume said. “Please don’t have to make one stupid thought princess… Unleashing the monsters will bring us trouble. The little information we got is enough. We can just plan again to steal the divine gem… The high priestess sure was weird. I’m sure she was shot in her head while praying last night, but for some reason, s
On the Inquisition knight headquarters. Sieg was the first commander of the first inquisition squad. The knight told to be the most powerful among all of the knights of the starry night has his knees down on the floor. There was a sweat sliding down his cheeks and anxiety could be seen. This display is rarely seen by the most respected knight. “This beyond my control my majesty… I didn’t know that Terra could do such a thing. To fix my wrong, I’ll go myself and kill Terra once again.” Sieg said clearly. He had a face full of determination. His fist clenched and veins popped out. he was clearly enraged by the fact that he failed his mission. To a serious person who takes everything personally. Sieg could not understand or accept that he was a failure. The king was upset at the news that one of the seven goddesses could be still alive. Upsetting because of Terra or Choco. Will went on her way to block the inquisition's plans. “The goddess of earth who rise the lands to create her
A week had already passed since I left Artemis City with my trustworthy companions. Together we are given an almost impossible mission of defeating an evil that threatened the world for thousands of years, Ophiuchus. The details of how we are going to destroy that evil were still not crossing my mind. Second, going back to Paradise Island. Before I went on my journey, I finally got to talk to Lars and he told me a few ways to get up to Paradise Island. Lars told me that I should just find a way to fly high up back to the floating island. The most straightforward answer I could get. “People that came from Paradise Island were not affected by the barrier that separated the earth and paradise. You’re unable to bring companions from Earthland to Paradise island normally.” “Then how am I going to bring Kisara and the rest there?” “I don’t know… I’ve been searching for the same answer for a very long time… My priorities aren’t the same as before, so I have kinda given up. Similar to you
She looked at me with skepticism at first and looked at me with widened eyes. Her eyes sadden and her body was petrified. The master-slave connection was tied with the real Kisara back in the truck. Why is this Kisara looking at me with her tearful eyes? No need to feel empathy toward a fake. I hacked down my sword forward. At the same time I move, she blasted a fireball to blast me away from her. As the flame disappeared she leaped back away 10 meters away. “Why are you trying to hurt me?” She asked. “I’m not going play with your jokes… I don’t know who you are.” “I’m Kisara… I love you, Red.” “There is no way Kisara would say anything like that to me. I’m certain that you weren’t her. Show me your true form.” “Why are you saying sad things? I’m expressing my love for you. Is it wrong for me to love you? I want you to stay with me. Live with me… Just you and me without any problems. Why are you hesitating? Deep in your heart, you love me right? I like it when you save me from
Later, I go back to our camping site with a bunch of mushrooms. I’m not even sure if they were all edible I only pick mushrooms that didn’t seem poisonous. When I arrived the three girls look at me with confusion. My clothes rip apart and blood stain. “What in the world happened to you?” Princess asked. Charlotte’s eyes lit up and said: “Did you go wrestle with the wild beast? No fair! I want to see you get beaten down.” Why in a world would I do that? Gore is not something you should be wishing to see. Lastly, Kisara is being silent. She seems to have worried at first and averted her face away from me seating down on the log. “Glad that you are safe… You wrestle with a beast and you only got mushrooms. For your information non of us eat mushrooms. Those mushrooms would be wasted.” Kisara said in a drained-sounding voice. She took a can of tuna and place it on top of the newly cooked rice. Still popping out the white steam. “Sit down… You’re exhausted, right? Sit down and ha
What’s with that sound? I shifted my head down to the foggy forest nearby. Kisara put down her half-finished bowl of rice and stood up. “Where are you going? It's dangerous there…” “I know you were injured earlier because of them, right? I don’t have any idea what they look like. But this ominous feeling floating in the air is without a doubt a sign of danger.” Kisara said. Flames gathered in her hand and formed her flaming scythe. “Earlier, I fought with a copy of yourself. She can use the same ability as you.” I explained. Giving her information before the battle starts will help. “A copy of myself… Let me guess you're defeated.” “...” I'd put silent for a moment. I feel embarrassed saying that I lost a girl. I don’t want to admit it, especially to her. Kisara does know the answer already and, with a high-stacked attitude, she speaks. “Don’t be embarrassed, it's natural that you can’t defeat me… I’m super strong after all. Just sit down there and finish your dinner. I’ll
