章 106: Human vs Divine vs Beast-kin (V)
Everyone cleared the path when a deer Beast-kin walked into the camp. There were five in total. Antlers jutting out of their heads, soft curvy faces, and even walking on hooves. They were similar in a humanoid figure, while four out of five were in all black. Even their hair and eyes were sharp and deadly. One could tell that they were experts in how they held themselves, but what was shocking was that in their group, a small child with white hair and gray eyes walked in the middle of the group.
The child held himself, timidly looking around with fright. One could tell that he was not a warrior, but a child that was roughly taken out against their will. I couldn't know if it was a boy or a girl from the ambiguous clothes that it was wearing. Widening his nose, he sniffed the air. It's a girl for sure, the scent was unmistakable.
The group of five suddenly turned towards me. General Bastion stood still watching them, wondering what they wanted.
"Are you General Bastion?" A buff looking male walked up and spoke. For one, he didn't have the sublime shape of the other deer, making him stand out from the rest.
"Yes, I am. Nya."
"My name is Kylee. We are from the Deer Clan, and we hope to join your army."
"Why should I let you, nya?" General Bastion folded his arms. Bringing children into war was not something that he wanted to do. War was not a place for kids anyways, so it was better to deny them such things.
"The true hero of the Beast-kin has arrived to claim the Legendary Claw Pulse."
"So, are you claiming that you are the hero, nya?"
"No. I am not, but this child is."
He was shocked. His mouth turned into a line as he squinted. Everyone had come to join the army for that specific reason, and, so far, he didn't stop them from joining. The Lord had allowed it to happen, but this was a whole different story.
"Her name is Ginger, and from the moment of her birth, the stars had foretold her future.��
General Bastion sighed. Another crazy lunatic that would bring children to war. He thought the elusive Deer clan was better than this. They were famous for their astrology and seers, but this just tipped the scales on a whole different level. Wait, did he say she?
"You bring a child to war, nya? Children should stay home, nya."
Kylee shook his head. "She has been trained for this day. We knew that this day would come."
"You don't understand. The future is set in stone. Even if you do not allow it, the world will move in her favor and take her there."
"I don't believe in such bogus things. Nya."
Suddenly, Ginger broke away from the group and ran towards Don and Phil, who were walking by. General Bastion froze when he saw what happened. The walking demon that was enshrouded himself in the name of Hero.
Ginger grabbed Don's hand, startling him. Phil cast his gaze down at Ginger and frowned.
"Whose child?" Phil's voice dropped an octave. His gaze shot around, looking for an answer. Many looked away out of fear and went about their business.
The four quickly ran up to her, but suddenly froze in fear. They could feel the same powerful baptism that we all had gotten once. Even General Bastion couldn't help but want to scuttle away and hide.
Ginger shrank from the hot gaze that Phil gave her. "I-I'm not a child."
One wouldn't have been able to hear her voice speak if one wasn't paying attention. It had a lovely ring to it that made everyone turn their gaze upon her.
"I'm sixteen."
The word sixteen struck everyone dumbstruck. The human boy that had his hands grasped by Ginger was staring with wide eyes in disbelief.
"A legal loli." Don said some strange words that even he didn't understand. The words were quickly brushed aside, forgotten when Ginger spoke again.
"Can I stay by your side?" Ginger gazed up at Don with adorable eyes that seemed to strike everyone around him through the heart.
Don just nodded without thinking, and Ginger gave him a big smile.
"It seems you have a new admirer." Phil chuckled at Don, who was speechless.
"W-what?" Don finally spoke stupefied. "Wait, why are you sticking so close." He started to pull away from her, but it seems that she wouldn't let him go.
Everyone present couldn't help but cast a jealous gaze at the adorable child-like being in front of them. They all wanted to cuddle and pet her for her cute behavior, their instinct to protect was firmly rooted in their heart.
"Because you're my future husband." Ginger grinned. "I saw us together."
"Hah?!" Don's words escaped his mouth in disbelief. "I don't like kids!"
"I told you I'm not a kid." Ginger pouted.
Phil cracked a smile and burst into laughter. His laughter started everyone into a stupor, and the oppressive energy was gone. "Well, Don, it seems you have a wife."
"Hey! I didn't consent to this!"
"That doesn't seem to be the case." Phil pointed towards Ginger, who was not budging from his arm.
"Get off." Don pulled but failed horribly. She was like a koala that didn't want to let go.
Ginger shook her head furiously.
"So this is your so-called hero, nya?" General Bastion gave a stare at the bewildered four guards that seem to be unable to move from the strange sight. They had never seen Ginger react so strongly towards a human before.
"General!" A cat beastkin ran over. "The Lord said to head out towards the Forgotten Forest!"
General Bastion nodded. The journey towards the Legendary Claw Pulse was just starting, and already they were some strange complications entangled together. He sighed. This was truly going to be a long day.
