It's been a few days since the tournament, after the tournament, we were given a leave for about 2 weeks, everyone were separated into 4 different sub squads and there 4 freelance knights that were chosen from our squad. Through what I know, the freelance knights are Damien Pointer, Grace Holder, Ilora Kaori and I. We are the ones who can join any squad at any time as we were declared to be our team's strong point...I don't understand how Damien became our team's main point...But whatever.
These last few days I have also been training with Hayden but...I haven't seen Cyan since the tournament. It feels like it's been forever since I have spoken with everyone. I wish to see them next week. I wonder what kind of exciting stories they might have. I have none as I haven't been able to find anything yet, so I have been exploring town.
To my surprise, that old lady who gave me the book on creation magic wasn't there...I wonder if I will ever be able to meet her again.
I reach our training ground again...I wait for about 10 minutes then I get a message on my phone. I check my phone. It's from Hayden. "I will be going out of town for a few days, there is an urgent mission." That's what he said in the message. I sigh. "Guess I will just have to train alone."
I close my eyes and start meditating in the middle of the ground.
Few hours pass as I meditate in the middle of the ground. "He looks so cute like that..." That voice...It's so familiar. "Just wake him up already." That other voice too. Both of them are female voices...Both of them are females...Both seem to be really close friend... "But his so adorable Vassy, look at him." It's Oki and Vasteria alright...I never imagined that they would be out of their own place and come here.
I open my eyes and look at Oki whose right in my face. "HWAAAAA!!!!" Oki freaks out and backs off. "He was awake all along..." Oki's face seems to be covered with red. "Yeah...I was awake and I was hearing you two speak and thank you for the compliments." I say to both of them. "It was her giving the compliments not me." Vasteria is acting really cold. Reminds me of Ilora in a way just with extra size on the chest.
"Anyways, we need you to come with us." Oki says to me. "Sure..." I say confused. I did agree to help them after all track the destructors after all.
"Hey Vasteria, does she always call you Vassy?" I ask Vasteria ask I walk with Oki and Vasteria. Her eyebrow twitch. "Shut up! And don't you dare ever call me and I am your superior so call me Miss Vasteria, you understand?!" Vasteria looks right towards me. I look away. "Sure thing...Miss...Vasteria..." I say looking away from her eyes.
"Umm...Is it okay if you both roam like this leaving your own lands?" I ask both Vasteria and Oki. "I have strong people protecting my home, if destructors come, they will be ready for them." Vasteria says to me. "As for me..." Oki smirks. "I have left my land in safe hands." Oki's smirk turns into an evil grin.
What is she an evil loli cat girl?
At the land of cat gods,
"WHY DID SHE GET TO GO WITH MY MAN INSTEAD OF ME?!!!" Crumi seems to be freaking out. "It's because she is more capable of handling than you can." A cat god smirks. "WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" Crumi seems to be freaking out. "Nothing." The cat god chuckles. Crumi sighs. "What a bore, hmph!"
Inside human lands,
I, Oki and Vasteria all enter a huge mansion like place which is well guarded. "Woh...What's this?!" I ask. "It's the human's council house." Human's council house Vasteria said? It's a huge thing to be here...I wonder why I am here...
Vasteria and Oki stop in front of the door and I stop as well. "Alright, beyond this door is where our meeting shall take place." Oki says. I nod.
As soon as the door opens, I see an empty room. I look to my right and then to my left. To my right everything was empty but to my left...It's was the Principal and Cao Ping the human councillor.
"I was waiting for you Henry." The principal says to me. "Same here." Cao Ping says to me. I look towards Vasteria. She understands the situation and steps forward.
"We are here to discuss about something, something I believe we can trust no other councillor with but you and us. We are the only trustworthy people I believe there are." Vasteria says to me. "I think so you have already met Cao Ping and his assistant Kanda." Vasteria says. Wait...Did I hear that correctly? "KANDA IS CAO PING'S ASSISTANT?!!!!" I am surprised with that statement... "Why are you so shocked? His the only person any human can trust with when it comes to personal matters. So it's obvious why Cao Ping chose him." Oki says to me as she chuckles.
"As for us two, I believe we have met once too, but yet, I am Vasteria Nightelf, I am a high elf and the protector of Elfland." Vasteria says to me. "I am Oki, I don't have a second name, none of us cat gods have a second name. I am the councillor and the queen of the cat gods." Oki smiles.
"What are we here for?" I ask everyone.
"We are about to send you on a mission with a squad-" Before Cao Ping could complete his sentence Vasteria cuts him out. "BUT, you will be going not as a member of that squad but as a spy." Vasteria says. "A spy?" I question. "We have a suspicion on Amy Allen, so we are sending you in with Amy Allen, Welder Dipper, Cyan Rider and you will be their final member." Cao Ping says. "Wait...But isn't Cyan a freelancer like me then why did she join a team?" I ask Cao Ping. "She's filling in for her friend and before you ask, there isn't any 4th member to that squad, it's a squad of 3 so you will be the 4th member joining them but...As a spy and keep a close eye on Amy Allen...Keep an eye out for every moment she makes..." Cao Ping said to me.
And so...I made my way towards the squad and we made our way towards what people call the forest of death...
