~Omni pov~

Alpha then turned towards Cid and said "Master can I have the permission to put her in her place"

Due to being the first member and the leader of all future members that join Alpha has taken that role with great pride its one of things she's most proud of.

So hearing someone who just join saying that she was weak and was going to take something that she has great pride in, she took that as the highest degree of insult and such a person should he put in her place.

Cid seeing that it need to happen just nodded "You don't have to worry about hurting her to badly I could heal her up if anything happens"

Delta then gave Cid a thumbs up and said "Okay boss, see you hear even boss man doesn't have confidence in you to win"

Everyone just looked at Delta in disbelieve. Beta then turned her face and cover her mouth to stop herself from laughing "Phttt hear that Alpha Master doesn't have any confidence in you"

Gamma covered her mouth with the back of her hand and started giggling as well "Yeah Alpha Master has no confidence in you to win this" which caused both Beta and Gamma to lean on each other and break down laughing

"HAHAHAHAHA"

Alpha's face then grew red from embarrassment and gritted her teeth.

Cid just chuckled and shook his head at their banter which caused Alpha to look at him in surprise not expecting her master to laugh as well.

Alpha then put her head down with her hair covering her eyes.

Meanwhile Delta got on all fours and as she was about to leap towards Alpha, Alpha simply disappeared from her view completely.

Alpha then appeared right infront of her face winding up her fist and as she did she said in a distorted voice "You made master laugh at me, and for that I won't forgive you"

She then smashed Delta's face onto the ground completely caving it in and without giving Delta any chance to retaliate she started to punch Delta's face again and again

Blood was splattering around everywhere, Delta tried to counter Alpha's attacks but Alpha would just redirect the force and continued pummeling Delta

To not kill her Alpha turned her punches into slaps and started to slap Delta across the face back and forth until Cid had to step in and stop her.

"Alpha that's enough she stopped trying to fight for a while now"

Alpha stopped when she heard her master and got off of Delta and once she got off of her, she started to stand up but a bit shakily.

Delta's face at this point was bruised and bloody without recognition, large bumps were sticking out of her face. She tried to take a step forward but fell head first unconscious.

Luckily Cid appeared before her and caught her before she fell to the ground.

With a hand on her head Cid started to use healing magic which made Delta look exactly how she did before the fight started. With a sigh Cid picked her up and put her on his back giving her a piggy back ride as she was still unconscious.

Alpha then shook her hands to wipe off any blood on her hands and as she did she turned and looked at both Beta and Gamma.

Seeing Alpha looking at them, they both ran and hid behind Cid scared incase they were next.

And with that they went back hunting...

It took a while but Delta manage to wake up, she woke up with her head laying in Cid's lap and the smell of cooked meat right infront of the fire they managed to make.

Cid seeing that Delta was awake took a big chunk of the meat and as he was about to give it to Delta he asked "Anything you gotta say to Alpha, Delta?"

With her wolf ears slumb down she turned towards Alpha and said "Sorry for calling you weak and trying to take your position"

Cid then patted her head which caused her tail to wag in happiness and said "Good girl" and feed her some meat. Which made her tail wag even faster.

Alpha who was sitting at the opposite side of the fire just sigh "Fine, I guess I forgive you too"...

And so a week passes with them staying in the forest luckily Cid had the foresight to lie to his parents and say he was staying with friends and they were going out camping and training to get stronger.

Which they believed and allowed him to go since he has shown how strong he is, they have confidence in him to be able to take care of himself. Although it took Claire some convincing to do so.

After a week Delta has manage to fit right in. Now they were infront of a mountain which was close to an elven city.

'I kinda forgot I had gravity magic, I could use it, to make it harder for them to move and make them stronger.'

"For today's training, you guys are going mountain climbing, but that isn't all" Cid's eyes then glowed a bit before saying "you're going to have to do it with enhanced gravity" and with that Cid started to increase the amount of gravity they were experiencing.

Which caused the legs of Alpha, Beta, and Gamma to almost give out, the only one that was fine was Delta due to her beast heritage.

Cid just increased the gravity towards just Delta which caused her eyes to grow wide due to the force and was having difficulty standing straight.

He then pointed to the top of the mountain and said "well what are you waiting for..."

And with that they started climbing the mountain although they had to stop on a few occasions due to Gamma tripping on the pebbles on the ground

It got to a point where Gamma tripped on a rock and had rolled all the way down the mountain while screaming for someone to help her.

And with a sigh they had to wait for Gamma to catch up again.

And as they continued on their hike Delta then started smelling the air.

*sniff* *sniff*

Which she then grabbed her nose with both her hands

"YUCK, it smells like how I used to smell before boss man found me"

Alpha's expression then grew serious and asked "where is it coming from Delta"

Delta while still holding her nose, pointed forwards a bit more upwards into the mountains with shaky fingers due to the gravity.

Everyone then quickened their pace if it wasn't for the gravity they would have sprinted.

After a few minutes they found a blacken body in the middle of the mountains slowly blinking at them.

Cid then just sighed and knelt down and with a reassuring smile just extended his hands and started to heal the body.

What appeared was a cute little girl with light blue hair showing her gratitude. Cid then got her dressed in the customary slime suit.

And as he helped her up Cid then said with a smile "I don't care where you came from, I don't care what you used to be name, and I don't care what you used to do previously. From now on you shall throw everything away from your past except your pride and dignity.

From now on you shall be called Epsilon and you shall become an honorary member of Shadow Garden

Alpha, you know what to do next"

Alpha just nodded with a serious expression.

Alpha then started her usual routine "We follow our Master, the Shadow Monarch, as we fight against..."

Epsilon when she heard everything gained stars in her eyes and said "Woah..."

The other 4 just nodded and said "Woah indeed" at the same time.

Cid then turned towards Epsilon and said "since this is your first day with us, I won't start your training today, you can start it tomorrow."

Epsilon then nodded with a determined expression and looked towards the other 4 members who were still having difficulty standing.

She then asked "What kind of training are you guys doing.

Cid then slowly introduced the pressure of gravity onto her and as she kept getting heavier and heavier her expression grew more shocked until Cid stopped and said "they have to endure this type of pressure, but its much harder on them since they're stronger"

Epsilon then looked at them in shock and in admiration...

And with that they continued their hike with Epsilon following behind asking the other members questions.


Chapter 21: Chapter 21

Some of you are not going to be happy with it but this chapter and the chapter after this one, and a tiny bit of the chapter after that one since the introduction of Lilim are word for word from the light novel...

"Oh BuT aUtHoR tHaT's BoRiNg I cAmE fOr SoMeThInG oRiGiNaL" and to that I say 🖕 stfu

I have to do it, not alot of people even know Zeta's back story which is by far the saddest backstory of the 7 shades in the light novel so far imo

So this is for all my ignorant people out there that are to lazy to look it up.

.........

~Omni pov~

It has been 3 weeks since Epsilon has joined Shadow Garden.

Cid this time decided to train them on the beach in the middle of the night, what he was teaching them was what he calls magic power control.

Cid stood infront of everyone and said "Today I'm teaching you on how to control your magic, there is more to magic than simple enhancements"

Cid then started to walk towards the sea and instead of sinking in, he stay floating on top of the water. He then continued walking and as he made it a bit farther away he turned to them and amplified his voice.

"Should you be able to control your magic almost anything is possible. You won't be able to leave until you be able to at lease stay standing on water." Cid then went on to explain the process on how it's done.

He then returned to them and started to guide them, the one who had it easier was Epsilon due to her constantly manipulating the slime suit she had to find out any other tricks she could do with it. So her magic control is already better than most.

The one who had it the worst was actually Delta since due to her aggressive nature found it hard to be precise and careful with her magic.

So instead of actually trying to teach her how to control it Cid just told her "try to enhance your body so it's fast enough to simply run on water and you don't have to be so precise" and Delta did just that

While the other were training and dawn was about to break Cid decided to enhance his eyes to see if he could see anything beyond the ocean and what he saw left him quite shocked.

He saw a female cat beastkin holding a baby while looking across the Ocean she then turned around and was surrounded by people dressed up in priest outfits.

Without warning Cid's face turned serious and said "Fly Kaisel" and with that Kaisel appeared right underneath him and took him towards the sky.

Hearing the seriousness of his voice everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Cid and once they saw his serious face their face turned serious as well

And once they saw him take off to the direction of the ocean, they looked at each other and nodded, Alpha took Gamma in a princess carry and started running at full speed across the water, Beta soon followed behind but was much slower who was followed by Epsilon. While Delta just got on all four and followed Cid's advice and went on a full sprint across the water.

A few hours earlier in the Gold Panther Tribe.....

Lilim who was asleep woke up when she heard a commotion in the middle of the night. She woke up feeling hope that maybe it's her father that came back.

As for why her father was away in the first place, Lilim has contracted the symptoms of "Possession" one month ago.

When she showed her parents they were shocked and she started crying. Right then and there she offered herself to be burned at the stake due to the rules of the beastkins

But her father would never allow such a thing. How could he, he loved his daughter too much to do something like that. And so he left on a journey to try and find a cure but after a month nothing was heard.

That's why Lilim was optimistic about the commotion outside

"Maybe it's father, maybe he's back"

And as she went outside she did find her father but her father was on his knees tied up covered in blood.

Torches that were lit surrounding him, seeing such a scene her mother then yelled out boldly "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS"

"Looks like the filth hasn't been drive away yet"

The one who stepped forward with a torch on his hands was the head of a branch family from the Golden Panther Clan. "You know the rules all Clans follow, all filth shall be cleansed up no matter what"

Lilim's mother just stood infront of her protecting her in silence.

"Where is the filthy, answer us" the branch head said as he pulled out his sword and stab her father in the shoulder.

"I don't know" the father said with a hoarse voice

The head of the branch family just looked at him with a cold look in his eyes as he pushed the sword further down.

Blood gushed everywhere while the sound of a bone breaking was soon heard.

Seeing no reaction from him the branch head just said "How boring" before stabbing the sword once again.

"Stop it! You won't be forgiven for aiming your sword towards the head of the clan." Lilim's mother said

The branch head then sneered and said "I will be forgiven. From now on I'm the new head of the main clan of the Golden Panthers"

"And what proof could you possibly have, to make yourself the new head" said the mother.

"A priest from the Holy Church came towards the village and told us about the existence of traces of demon possessions. Apparently on the East the Holy Church collects anyone who has sign of the possession"

A new figure then appeared from within the group this time it was a man wearing a priest outfits and as he appeared he gave a faint smile said "The filth must be handled immediately otherwise who knows when it would spread and cause chaos and destruction"

Lilim's father then protested ".... Liar"

The priest then turned to him with a mocking gaze asked "Did you say something beastkin"

"I said you are lying human"

"What lies have I made"

"Everything, Demon Possession doesn't exist its a lie made by the Holy Church"

"Have you lost your mind" the branch head said

As if instigating it, everyone started sneering towards him.

But the sneers were ignored by the priest and father as they just continued staring at each other "Do you have any prove" the priest asked

The father then starts off by saying "The Golden Panther Clan is a long established bloodline, all the chieftains have inherited the story of the great Hero, the story of the beastkin Hero, the one that directly fought against the demon Diabolos"

"A fairy tale then?" The priest presumes

"Yes, it is a fairy tale. However, it slightly differs from the fairy tale passed on today in the world. The heroes were women, not men, and the demon possessions are blessing not a curse"

The priest eyes sharpen "That statement is considered an act of blasphemy against the Holy Church.

Fairytales will fade with time, stop talking nonsense"

"Is that so?, This is a heroic tale passed down only to the head of the clan for generations, it will not fade so easily, above all else we are a clan of the Golden Panthers...

We are descendants of the great Hero Lili, one of the three heroes that has defeated the demon Diabolos. that's the evidence"

"In other words?" the priest asks

"In other words, the stories of the heroes passed down by the Golden Panthers are the truth, while the Holy Church distorted the facts"
