Thanks everyone for the comments and likes, it really helps to know that so many people want to read more of my story.
Also check out my other story Friend to the spirit's, story on my account.
Also to respond to some comments I received
Guest(A): I chose to reduce Fenrich, and Valvatore's level because i thought it would make it more interesting than having a pair of characters that can essentially one shot any opponent they come across. To see a character struggle, and grow makes a story interesting.
Also thanks to all the readers who commented.
Finally, as of the time i have written and posted this story, please note i am still looking for a beta reader, to help with editing.
Now enough with my ramblings...
--Raise the curtain--set the lights--and--
Action!!
Fenrich was pacing back and forth on the carpet, muttering about how the indignity of the situation, the frustration of it all, the loss of all that time spent grinding, and practicing, and how so many of their abilities were out of their reach.
Louise was sitting on her queen size bed, nervously watching the white haired werewolf, pace back and forth, twisting the edge of her cape. "Of all the indignities, to be stripped of our power, by some preteen dwarf of a human girl! In all my years before and after joining lord Valvatorez, I have never felt so ashamed, if only my lord had not made that promise then," Fenrich continued, only for Vavlatorez to re-enter the room.
"So the headmaster has found us a room, just down the hallway, and.. Fenrich have you been passing again," Valvator asked, seeing several large cracks coming from under Louis's carpet, seemingly coming from where Fenrich had been walking.. It would not be the first time, as Fenrich had a tendency to pace when he was thinking, or angry.
However Fenrich, did not normally leave cracks in the floor, so this was a bit strange. "Umm, Fenrich, are you alright," Valvatore asked. Fenrich quickly stopped before turning to his lord. Valvator couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the angry flash in Fenrich's eyes. Now Valvator was starting to become worried. It had been centuries since he had last seen those eyes, but Valvatorez would never forget those eyes.
The tension was final broken by Fenrich who turned and walked to the door. Valatore mentally cursed and quickly began to make his way to the door.
"Umm, I'm sorry but, was my summoning really that bad," Louise asked hugging a pillow tightly to her small frame, almost completely hiding her small form.
Valvatore froze hand over the door handle and sighed. "It's not the fact you summoned us, but rather you somehow forced us to essentially reincarnate, and for a demon that resets their power to the lowest possible level, i'll explain more, but right now I must find Fenrich and ensure he doesn't do something that will be a problem," Valvatorez said looking over his shoulder giving Louise a small smile.
Louise for her part took a small comfort but, still felt bad. While she had summoned a pair of familiars, she had essentially stripped them of their powers. While the apparent leader of the two didn't blame her, the other did, and had every right. Louis wasn't familiar with vampires but Fenrich seemed to make Valvatorez to be some kind of noble of sorts, and that made Louis feel even worse.
Louise would never bring herself to bring down another noble, human or not, so to have done such a thing left her feeling as if she soiled her honor, her families honor, and the honor of Valvatore and Fenrich, by strriping them of thier powers. It was a blow to their pride, something all nobles held above all else.
Louise frowned harder, how did this happen. Finally the mage did the only thing she could, slumping backwards and cried into her pillow.
--Magic academy hallways--
Fenrich continued walking through the hall panting heavily. He was angry, but it wasn't just the girl that angered Fenrich. His lord and his habit of making and keeping promises to the T, the summoning, the humans and their uppity attitudes, and the pile of laundry heading his way, all of it made him..
'Wait, laundry heading my way' Fenrich thought, as he suddenly walked into the bundle of dirty clothes. Fenrich cursed silently as he realize he had been so in thought he hadn't noticed that a servant was coming his way, their view blocked by the clothes they had been carrying. Before he could move out of the way the servant ran into Fenrich who had been moving at a fairly fast pace in his anger, and ended up being knocked back with a squeal.
Fenrich stopped and looked at who had collide with him, and saw it was a young girl. Her hair was a shiny black cut short, and wore a rather tacky maids outfit, the kind humans were so fond of, black clothes, with a white apron over it, and matching headpiece.
The girl rubbed her bottom slightly wincing in pain.Fenrich couldn't help but admire her soft features of her face, and a part of him stirred deep within, as he noticed her more than generously endowed figure, that showed through her uniform.
The girl finally noticed who she had run into and quickly stood up and bowed apologizing. "Ah excuse me sir, I didn't see you standing there," the girl said quickly moving to pick up the clothes she had dropped.
Fenrich blinked and suddenly began to feel self-conscious . "N-no it was alright I was merely frustrated with something, and did not notice you, so I share a part of the blame, my apologies mrs…
"Siesta, and please you needn't add mrs, im only a maid after all," she said smiling happily at this kind stranger. Now that she had a chance she could see that Fenrich was no noble, or at least not one she had ever seen before, maybe he was from Germania?
Well regardless he was quite handsome, and siesta quickly looked down to hide her blush as she noted his rather fit physique that showed through his open red jacket.
"Tell mr, er, Siesta, have you ever been left feeling somewhat annoyed by you employers,"Fenrich asked picking up a blouse and neatly folding it, before placing it in the basket.
Siesta looked blinking, not quite sure how to answer the question.
"Um… as a maid it's true my job is to look after the wants and needs of the students and staff, and while difficult at times, i can not say i have ever been annoyed or unhappy, the other staff that i work with are all kind, and the chef is always making this place feel like a second home for me," Siesta answered smiling warmly.
Fenrich rolled his eyes but said nothing, humans where of course simple creatures. A little kindness and they were usually happy.
"What about you Mr.Fenrich, did something happen recently with you coming here, or was it simply a disagreement with Old Man Osmode," Siesta asked picking up the last of the clothes.
""No my master and i were summoned to day by, that girl," Fenrich spoke venomously on the wor girl.
"And of all things Master Valvatorez agreed to help here, until we could find a replacement familiar, and to top it all off the girl Luis or whatever her name was, managed to somehow reincarnate both my master and I, and now our overall power is back down to level one," fenric said his anger boiling backup.
Siesta watched Fenrich's face take on a look of heavy annoyance almost angry look. A lot of what the silver haired man had said had made no sense, but the part of being summoned did remind her of the gossip she had heard.
Louis de Valier had been well known by staff, and student as something of a walking hazard. Not that she intentionally blew things up, but Louis was a person simply prone to messing up her magic, but the rumors Siesta heard was that for once Mrs.Louis had actually succeed at her spell despite having messed. Up, but the rumour spoke of mrs.Vallier having summoned a vampire, and it familiar.
"Hah, but i've delt with wore i suppose. There I believe that's everything Siesta, hm," Fenrich said picking up the basket. And noticed Siesta had gone pale still holding the cloth she had picked up, still kneeling.
"M-Mr.Fe-Fenrich, a-are you a, va, vampire," Siesta said, her voice trembling.
"No," Fenrich answered quickly, much to Siesta's relief.
"That would be my lord, Valvatorez, i however am a werewolf," he said hefting the basket up onto a shoulder offering his other hand to the maid.
Siesta panicked at the fact she had come face to face with a vampire's servant.
"What's the matter first time seeing one of my kind, don't worry, I don't bite, that's normally reserved for punishing other wolves in our other form, or something done between lovers," Fenrich said teasing. Inside he was suddenly panicking at what he had said.
Siesta blushed slightly stepping up the fear gone, now embarrassed at the way he had spoken.
"Ah Fenrich there you are," a new voice thankfully broke the awkwardness.
Siesta, and Fenrich, both turned to see the new person approaching Siesta assumed that it was a nobela at first, but Fenrich had said he had been summoned by Mrs.Louise, so that could only mean that….
"Ah-- ah," Sisesta began, going pale once more.
Valvatorez walked over, noticing the girl who stood by Fenrich.
"Ah excuse me mrs, but i need to speak to my associate for a moment," Valvatorez said simply, ignoring the girl's appearance.
Both demons walked away leaving stuttering made alone by herself, stopping a fair distance off.
"Is something the matter my lord," Fenrich asked, not sure why his master had followed him.
"I believe i should be asking you that, your responce back in mrs.Louis's room was rather aggressive, even for you Fenrich," Valvatorez said a hand on his hip.
Fenrich blinked unsure where this was going. "I feel fine my lord why-"
"Don't lie to me Fenrich, back in mrs.Louise's room you were extremely hostile, even for you, so I'll ask again do you feel alright?"
Fenrich blinked again and frowned. Thinking back, perhaps he had gotten a tad carried away, but what did it matter, this weak fool had no right too…
'Wait, fool? Weak?' Where had those thought came from, he may have been upset with his lord at times, but these thoughts.
"I, I am unsure my lord, I can't help but feel unusual annoyed by your concern, and perhaps you have a point, it all just feel like my blood is boiling for some reason. There is an unsettling urge to release my true from and run wild, it's like before i had met you lord Valvatorez," Fenrich said looking at his hadn't opening closing them, feeling the heat course through his body.
"I believe it may have to do with the two moons, outside, as well as one of them being a blood moon, it's not strange that a werewolf would be empowered in this world," Valvatore said looking out the nearby window. Fenrich followed his master's gaze, seeing the pair of moons, one red, one blue hanging high in the sky.
"Well that explains a few things," Fenrich said. It was an embarrassment as lord Valvatorez's right hand man, to miss such an important detail, and to snap at his lord on top of it, things could not get any more humiliating.
"Please forgive this lowly servant, Lord Valvatorez, for failing to control his temper, and for snapping at you, among other things my lord," Fenrich said bowing deeply in apology, right hand over his heart.
"Now, now Fenrich it was a mere misunderstanding, nothing more. You've returned to your senses, that is all that matters," the former tyrant said, patting his companion on the shoulder. Fenrich nodded a smile on his face, but still worrying at what this might imply later on.
Seeing as there had was no real solution at the time, all the werewolf could do was follow his master's orders for now.
-Next day dood-
It was early in the morning and Fenrich stood up mildly stiff, from having laid on the floor. It brought back memories of the time before he met his lord, some good, some bad, but all said and done it had been his criminal way that had lead to meeting his lord. Speaking of which similarly Lord Valvatorez was laing not far from him dozing away, not seeming to be bothered by the hard ground. Fenrich getting up and dusting his clothes of hay, went over and gently nudged his lord awake. Valvatorez stirred slightly before yawning and sitting up feeling mildly stiff himself but ultimately refreshed. Yawning Valvatorez stretched felling several bones pop, before turning to his sevet.
"Ah good morning Fenrich, what is on the agenda for today," the vampire asked dusting himself of hay standing up.
"Currently we have a meeting with the head of the school, a mage that goes by the name of Old Osmond, we are to discuss our current situation, and as well as to possible find a replacement familiar to the brat," Fenrich reported maintaining c c there was one thing else to do before the meeting.
"Alright then, first thing first, we need to wake up the lass," Valvatorez said walking over grabbing his cape from its resting spot on the nearby table. Louise was quietly resting on the large bed murmuring in her sleep.
"Time to get up lass, we have a busy day ahead of us,"Valvatorez said nudging the sleeping girl's side.
"Allow me my lord," Fenrich said stepping next to his lord. Grabbing the side of the sheet Louis was sleeping on Fenrich quickly yanked it out, causing the young girl to tumble of the side of her bed, falling onto the cold stone floor with a heavy thump, and small squeal.
"Wah?! W-who, why," Louis said quickly getting up now wide awake, panicking as she looked around the room before noticing the two on the opposite side of her bed.
"Wh- what was that for," the pinket screamed in anger.
"Come now lass, it dawn and we have things to do," Fenrich said ignoring the girl's anger, before moving to her closet.
"Get ready quickly, we have things to do, and the sooner we finish this business of your familiar, the sooner we can get back to Hades," Fenrich said pulling out one of Louise's many uniform skirts, and blouse, the rest she'd have to get herself.
Louis huffed at the werewolf's haughtiness, before getting off the floor. " I know you don't like me but could you at least be a bit more gentle when waking me next time," Louise huffed, going to her drawer pulling out her under garments.
"Trust me lass there are more harsh ways to awaken a person, be content I didn't use them. In the meantime my Lord and i will be waiting for you outside, so be quick," the werewolf huffed opening the door for his lord before stepping out himself. Louis huffed but began changing regardless.
Outside Valvatorez and Fenrich both stood waiting for Louis to exit her room. "So Fenrich how are we feeling today," Valvatorez asked, referring to Fenrich's behavior the prior night.
"You needn't worry my lord I feel much better, no feeling of running wild, at least," he reply.
"Well that good, but i fear this may be a nightly issue, at least for some time," Valvatore said arms crossed. Fenrich nodded, knowing it be some time before he'd be accustomed to this worlds two moon, and a constant blood moon to boot, would affect Fenrich for some time.
" Well, well, what have we here? The vampire and wolf summoned by our Zero, what are you two doing out here," a new sultry voice called from just down the hall. Coming down the hall with confident strides was a women that could have passed for a succubus were it not for her lack of horns and wings. Her dark skin was unblemished, her hair falling down in light crimson waves, hiding her face in part, revealing a single amber eye, and a smile that would leave many men babbling like love struck fools.
The most eye catching feature however was her chest, regardless of one's intention or gender there eyes couldn't help but drift down part way down to her abundant chest, 'partially' exposed from the fact her shirt was two sizes too small for her.
"Oh my, did the Zero actually kick you out, oh how awful, if you need you can stay with me," the lady stated seductively placing her arms under her chest, causing it to bounce slightly.
"Listen here harlet, neither i or my lord have any such interest, especial in some teenage human whose most likely several hundred years our junior, so go and offer yourself to one of those nobul boys who have more money than they know what to do with, and i'm sure they love a cow like you to warm their beds," Fenrich bluntly stated placing his hands in his pockets leaning forward slightly, staring down disapprovingly at the girl before him.
Kirchi for her part was left mouth open in an 'o' of shock. Despite what people said or thought about here Kirchi was no fool, she knew people, student, and staff alike, thought her 'lose' to put it mildly, and true she had her fair share of lovers, no, not even Louis the Zero had thought to call here out so blatantly on it. It was then that the door clicked open and out walked a now dressed Louis.
"Pardon the wait, we can now head over to, Zebrest!?! What are you doing here?!" Louis screeched, irritated at the sight of her rival.
"She was just leaving, come girl we have things to attend to," Fenrich stated, turning to walk away following his lord. Louis looked back and forth between tthe retreating figures and Zebrest in confusion for a moment, before chasing after Valvatorez, and Fenrich.
Kirchi who had regained her thoughts thanks to Louis shrill cry, actually couldn't help but smile at the retreating trio. Never had anyone so blatantly rejected her in such a manner, these two would be her most interesting pray as of yet. It didn't hurt that shed be taking them from Louis, either.
