"What possess you to enter my kingdom in this uninvited matter, my dear madaam" Raven asked as she drank her cup of tea.
The group and her were now in a room, it was royalty like... Much like she was enjoying the time of her life because of this."Raven... I came to discuss to you to stop this nonsense on what you are doing right now, don't you see how many lives you've already taken?""Oh my, what do you mean by lives I've already taken? I don't see anyone resisting whatsoever"Just then, a celtor went inside a room with a tray of snacks along with cups and a teapot."They all wanted this, look, they also enjoy it as well"Raven then clapped her hands as the celtor then went towards them and placed the tray down. They were wearing a blindfold and their movement looked more controlled rather than free will."The hell do you mean enjoying?! THEY'RE SUFFERING BECAUSE OF YOU"Faye then immediately stood up and was about to punch Raven but then Amarico stopped her."Easy, Faye! We can't hurt her yet because we're here for discussing!"Faye kept resisting but ultimately decided to stop. She still had an angry aura surrounding him, she then sat back down as she looked at the celtor. They were not even moving, they were just there... Standing, waiting for their next move that will be made by Raven."With that being said... There is nothing to worry about my queen, after all I am still in your side.."Raven had a mischevious smile right after she had said that. Mizu quickly took notice of this but the others have not.'Mizu'"Well... Not your side... BUT MINE!" Raven then sent out shadows towards them, seemingly to knock them out"Crap!" The crew tried to dodge it but it was too late, they got caught.They slowly started to become droopy, their visions starting to slowly to blur and then suddenly, pitch black."Hmm, I was expecting them to stay awake for a while longer but a surprise is a surprise after all. You, Carry them to Leon Ixatoki, he will handle the rest"Raven then slowly started to walk towards the door as celtors followed her. She exited the room as the door finally closed with a loud boom.Mizu groggily opened up his eyes, he tried to move around but he couldn't. Mizu then looked at his side as he saw that he was chained up. He also saw his companions still knocked out and is in the same situation as he was in.The dimly lit room slowly covered Mizu's sight, he tried to use at least one of his spells to light up the room but he couldn't, it felt like his mana and reservoir was empty.Suddenly the lights of the room lit up as Mizu squinted his eyes to adjust to the brightness. Mizu heard a door open, which in turn he looked at where it came from. It was at his left side, he turned his head to that side in which a male that was the same height as Amarico [5'7] came in, wearing a lab coat and glasses, they were pushing a cart with equipment, surgical equipment to be precise."Ah. It seems like you are awake" The male looked at Mizu as they had a blank face and souless eyes. If Mizu could just read someone's thoughts with just their face, he would've saved so many of those
"Over there!" A female voice shouted as a group of 5 was running towards a big gate as something was chasing them, it looked like angels but they were carrying spears and were shooting lightning type of bullets right at them."We just need to start that elevator and we're long gone!" A male voice then shouted as the group of 5 went on, but one went towards the lever to pull it down. Slowly the elevator started ascending, it was slow."We won't get on the top in time!" Another female voice said in a panicked tone as the group then prepared for their last stand."Don't!"Then a male shouted as they grabbed his sword, it was glowing a orange type of flame that slowly started to become azure "You guys stay there, I'll hold them off"The angels slowly started approaching the group. They started to throw the same balls of light, the man however parried it towards the angels, hitting the one who threw it to the group.Then he grabbed a revolver from his side pocket and prepared for a fight o
As Mizu and Trenti were walking, they walked by a Statue of someone. Mizu stopped as he then looked at the statue as there were... Definite features of the statue"Hey uh... Trenti who's this statue about?" Trenti then stopped walking as he walks back a couple of steps "Oh, it's the Queen of Etris"Mizu then looked at the writings engraved onto the stone "Took hold of the place after the Lord eventually died for unknown reasons. The people don't mind at all nowadays, the queen is actually making peace treaties with the other factions unlike the Lord"Mizu then looked around as he noticed something unusual "Wait what? Why did everyone move to the sides""The queen has arrived!" A person shouted as everyone scurried to the sides as well."Come on Kid, let's not get in the way ya know" Trenti said in a hint of panic in his voice as Mizu just followed Trenti.Soon a carriage of some sort was passing through but instead of horses, it was knights with a black palette armor "Make way for the
As the carriage was being carried, a guard was walking at the same pace as they suddenly spoke; "So, Mizu was it? Think I heard that name before" The male guard said as they kept walking "You did?" The guard nodded "Think I remember my grandfather told me it, he was the person that strived to unite every faction if it costs his life" He then sighed, which concerned the male. "It's quite sad that he didn't make it out on the first-ever expedition in The Depths" Mizu then hummed. "I wish I can be like him, just being fearless to everything and trying to save everyone in every way he can" The guard grinned "I believe in you kid, you already look and sound just like him" Suddenly the carriage finally stopped as the guard opened the door for it. Mizu hopped off as he then looked around. "Anyway, you go down the slope and just keep going straight and you'll see the docks" He then closed the door "I'll see you around kid" Mizu then looked at him "What's your name?" The guard then fix
As Mizu and Amarico started walking in the temple, Mizu can hear the clanging of swords and blasting of guns "Wait what was that blast?" Amarico turned around to look at him as she then thought about it "If I remember correctly, the queen started giving out weapons called.. what was it? Guns, there we go" Amarico then shrugged "Etris, along with Isle's of Vigils has been gaining some treaties with the Summer Company lately so I guess it's because of that" Mizu finally understood "But hey, the ones who are actually using the guns are using mantra bullets, basically a weaker version of a real bullet" Mizu nodded "That's good to hear, thought someone might die due to that" The 2 continued walking to their destination, a big training room. There were all types of weapons there from Greathammers to Swords and to Daggers, the room was filled to the brim with weapons "Alright kid pick whatever you want I'll wait for you there" Amarico then went to the arena as Mizu slowly looked at the
"Tell me again on why I have to use this instead?" Mizu was looking at the sword he was holding instead of his regular katana that he used "You aren't still prepared to what Trenti gave you" Amarico then fixed her bandana as she then swings a full punch combo as Mizu looked at her "So were going back to Etris right?" Amarico then nodded as she waited for her bell to chime and form the circle to teleport to the palace of Etris "It's gonna be your first ever mission? Aren't you excited for it?" Mizu just shrugged "I don't know anything except the basic combat that you taught me so" Amarico then laughed as the bell then chimed "Oh there it is, come on! Get in before I leave you here alone" Mizu then stepped inside the circle as the two then waited to be teleported. Almost immediately they were engulfed in a blinding light in a matter of seconds as they were now in-front of the gate of the palace "Halt!" A loud male voice shouted as spears were pointed at them "Who are you?" Ama
"So this is Erisia?" Mizu looked around as there was a massive gate in-front of them. The trio looked around as there were countless ships awaiting near the small beach that they were on "There's so many boats..." Amarico then looked around "Strange... people mostly gather here to find some squads to venture into the upper parts... but.." She was quite confused "This is really strange" The queen, Ada, tried to sense something with her enhanced hearing but nothing was emitted from the silence "Nothing... We'll worry about that later, for now we need to get to the Duchess's Manor, we can't waste time" Ada then started to walk inside as the 2 followed suit, there they saw what seems to be like Megaloudaunt carcasses and bodies around the area "Jesus fucking christ!" Amarico stumbled back "What the fuck happened here?!" Amarico then looked around as she saw a male moving near a rock that has 2 slopes "Hey are you alright!?" Amarico and the crew rushed towards the slowly dying ma
As the crew was slowly approaching the Viper's Jaw, they hard shouting and crying as soon as they got closer and closer "You hear that?" Amarico said as she slowly crouched herself and used her Felinor ears to hear more clearly. "Yeahhh! Let's fuckin feed her to the Sharkos!" A voice said as a older voice spoke up "Hah! The sharko's would probably just stomp on her because she's a blind fuck" then suddenly the female voice that was crying suddenly spoke up "Please! I beg of you! Stop doing this!" She cried out loud "Shut up bitch!" The guy slapped the girls face as she kept on crying "I just want to see my brother again" The girl cried as she was covering her head As soon as Mizu heard that a flame of determination bursts out of his eyes as he gripped his sword tightly "So what's the plan" Mizu asked as he gripped the sword's handle with both of his hands as he looked at Ada and Amarico "Well, first off we can just go in guns blazing... They don't have that good weapons. F
