I finally was able to post this chapter. It's one I'm more regretful of writing over happy unlike my previous chapters. I tried putting reminders for myself on the chapter but it backfired leaving me stuck on what to write in some parts. Hope you like it though.
Andrew finished the test using that strength he was told about. He grabbed a head trying to ram into him from the front and threw it at Luniva. Before the head could hit Luniva or touch the space where the runes over her head were he used his teleportation ÄRM standing on the same platform Luniva was. He touched her forehead.
" Do I win the game?" Andrew asked Luniva.
" You pass the test Andrew. That was a small idea using a head to get close to me, but you could have just tried jumping yourself. You wouldn't be able to fail through that if you just used your vines. Now are you ready to meet your Guardian ÄRM?"
Andrew was confused about what she meant until he found out what she was saying was the next part of his experience. He didn't have to find his Guardian ÄRM...they had it all along and were going to give it to him.
-I-
Andrew never thought a giant snail would look cool in his life until he met the giant yellow snail. It had two eyes attached to an appendage on its head. It had spikes sticking from the bottom of it said to zap enemies with electricity. It's shell was made of a substance stronger than a castle wall.
" Hi, my name is Andrew." Andrew greeted.
" It is nice to meet you Andrew. My name is Darnel Willow."
Andrew's Guardian was telepathic. Andrew heard his voice once and this time he could smile in the presence of the giant snail.
" I am your Guardian because like you a member of my family was filled with darkness that seemed to destroy my world. I tricked that member and became an ÄRM when he fell."
Andrew felt like the snail was lying to him because word was your created as an ÄRM not transformed into one.
The snail would be a good ally for Andrew though if he learns to use him correctly.
-I-
Andrew, Alviss, and Luniva returned to Nanashi's village after Andrew and them left the training ÄRM. They could now ask Nanashi if he had it in his heart to face Queen Adena.
They didn't know they were walking towards an enemy invasion.
The opponent Andrew would be facing was now other than the leader Brad. He appeared in an instant with a sword held in both his arms. Seeing a sword in Brad's hand didn't intimidate Andrew, it showed him he was reckless.
" We have this village under my control," Brad said to Andrew full of anger from the defeat he suffered.
" Really? And that invasion wouldn't be you making three men run into the village while you stay behind to face the person you loathe?" Luniva said laughing while she did it. " Nanashi already took care of your comrades. Even Andrew knows that."
Brad lost his focus on Andrew for just a moment. When he looked back to Andrew he saw his hand with a vine fully grown. He whipped the vine up and took out Brad.
The only thing more humiliating thing to happen to Brad after losing from one attack was Nanashi standing behind Andrew.
" Sorry I wasn't here to help. I got a fake letter addressed by Alan to meet him in the woods. It was really though your aunt Andrew who sent the message trying to set the rules for the war she has. Minus Luniva she has eleven powerful accolades and she wants you Andrew to face them one at a time from her weakest in the ranks of Rooks to her Queen. That's right the Queen has her own Queen ranked Servant."
Andrew couldn't believe his aunt of whom wasn't really his aunt nor was she human. She was getting giggles and laughs setting rules only a tyrant would make.
" I know your listening to me Aunt Adena!" Andrew shouted. He would try talking to her the way she wanted him to speak. She wanted him to challenge her. " What kind of Queen do you think you are? Show me what I am facing and maybe you'll find that your not being funny. Leave your side out of this fight and settle for a fight against me."
All of that just made Andrew waste energy. But for all of his shouting he made sand turn into shadow images of eleven people and two long shadowy vines overhead the eleven figures.
Andrew stared closer at the figure in the front row on the far left. He was flashing red in his eyes.
" If you knew the way the queen does battle you wouldn't impede the arrangement she has made."
Andrew didn't know who made that voice but it didn't sound friendly. He was right about what kind of person he was listening to. Andrew was smacked with what looked like sand but it was red and left burning bumps on his face.
Andrew's eyes were wide open when the sand statue burst open and a man wearing a black mask with red eyes and horns as well fake yellow teeth emerged. His head was shaven with two line tattoos intersecting to his mask. His left hand had a red ring and a black ring on his fifth and fourth finger. Those rings were ÄRMs The rest of his body was covered in black sand.
" They call me the Sly Rook Sorcerer, but really I am Homura the eleventh servant of Queen Adena."
