Chapter 32: Inheritance

Mizuki's POV

Its almost been 1 month, since Eden has joined us. For the past month, Night and Eden did some bonding together and got to know each other better. Nyte is taking care of Mari, and is preparing to be a better husband and future father, Blaze has received orders from Queen Eve and is currently in Hamel for some reason, Sora currently learning about more magic and medicine of Elrios, Chi's been tinkering her artifact for a while now, I wonder what she's doing on it. Mayumi, went to Hamel with blaze to train some recruits at the request of King Chung. Skarm, disappeared a month ago, and we haven't had any contacts with him ever since, he said, he wanted to look for the el for himself, for a while. Jay, in Velder, for training and i'm probably guessing that he's peeking in women's bath by now. Yumi, is requested by her kingdom in the angelic world to assist. Kosen, is having some troubles about Kage. I hope she'll be alright. Evia, is continuing her duties as the future ruler of Hamel. As for me, i'm relaxing in my new homeland. Though sometimes I missed my hometown Mizu. Suddenly, Lin started shouting out my name.

"Hey Mizuki, I got a letter for you. A owl gave it to me." She replied. She handed me the letter.

"Who is it from?" I asked her.

"I really don't know, it just says someone you know." Lin left, and I opened the letter, after finishing reading it. My expression turned into a bewildered look. "Ehhh!" I screamed. I ran up to Lin and asked her.

"Lin, where's Night?!" I said, in a rush.

"Oh, he went to Velder. To visit his Instructor, said something about repairing his weapon." She replied. As I was about to leave, she stopped me. "Take this, its a teleportation stone. I made using Elven dew, it will allow you to travel anywhere to Elrios, you already been to." She responded. She handed me the stone and I teleported to Velder.

Night's POV

I was at the Velder inn, munching on food with Eden and Elsword. I stuffed a ton of food in my mouth, that I had to drink a jug of water to quench my thirst.

"So, how's it been. Night?" He asked me. I took a sip of water.

"Its been fine. Everything going well. Why do you ask?" I asked him.

"Oh i've been wondering, how your land is. Do you have any people living there?" He asked me.

"The only person who's living there is a young elven girl name Lin and the Specks of Light." I responded.

"Well, thats no good. How is your land going to become rich?" He asked me.

"I don't really know, what you're talking about?" I replied.

"I'm saying. Why don't you bring people from different places to live in your land?" He responded.

"I don't know?"

"Its actually a good idea, you can make them grow food or other stuff. Such as produce crops or make them craft Clothes, weapon, or even magic books." Eden replied.

"You may have a point, I might think about it." I started to eat a raw fish whole. "Dude you're going to get sick, if you eat it whole."

"I don't care. Besides, I'm used to eating fish raw." The door, then slammed open.

"Nightwing Hann, where are you!" It was Mizuki, she seemed flustered. I started to get scared, and I stuffed food in my face.

"Thahk fuhr ta fud." I mumbled. I ran out of the other exit and soon Mizuki noticed me running.

"Get back here!" She replied. I started to run.

"What do you want with me. I never did anything to you!" I replied.

"Its not about you. Its about me!" She responded. I stopped immediately.

"Wait really?" I turned around, and she crashed towards me.

"Ow." Me and her got up. "So what's the big deal? Anyway." I asked her.

"Oh, that. Well, I need a favor." A favor? I thought.

"Well, what type of favor?" I asked her.

"I need you to travel to Mizu, with me." She replied.

"Huh, why?" I asked her.

"Well. My father, is asking me to return to home. To choose my fiance, and he said I could bring one friend to help me." She responded.

"Oh I see. Very well, I shall accompany you." I responded. She started to smiled and Eden and Elsword caught up.

"Night, are you okay?" Eden asked me.

"Yeah, and sorry. I need to leave Eden at this moment. Just hang out with Elsword for a while, i'll be back. I hope." I responded.

"Hope, what do you mean hope?!" He shouted. Me and Mizuki, then teleported out of there and before you knew it, I was in Mizu. It seemed to changed, since the first time I came here. Man, the breeze feels great. We headed, to the entrance of Mizu and saw someone running. It was her father.

"Mizuki, welcome home!" She was trying to hug her daughter. However, got rejected him and he fell down on the ground.

"Sorry, old man. I'm not into hugs, since that day." It was the day, Mizuki traveled with us. When my father, asked me about my sister and in the process, Mizuki struck in the ocean. I chuckled a bit, and he seemed to noticed me.

"Hey you look familiar?... Wait, you're that boy!" He exclaimed. I'm surprised he remember me.

"Yeah can, I help you?" I replied.

"Did Ara, get that letter..." Mizuki, smacked her father, before she could finish. Sending him flying.

"Goto hell!" She shouted. After, solving the conflict. We finally got down, to talk.

"So have, you decided on who you're going to marry?" He responded, in a serious tone. I drank the tea and she replied.

"I don't want to get married." She replied. His father, got pissed.

"Do you realize what will happened, if we don't find an heir. For the Mizu family, you don't want our home to be endanger right?!" He shouted at her.

"Yeah, I know..." Her father interrupted.

"Then choose someone, you would like to marry!" Three men, came in the room. They seemed to all be fox people. Those three, looked spoiled and evil.

"My, my you're beauty more amazing than the last time. I saw you 2 years." One of them responded.

"Shut up, Revern. There's no way i'll marry anyone." Mizuki replied. The man, grabbed Mizuki, by the collar and replied.

"Listen bitch, you're marrying me otherwise i'll destroy your so-called home." He threaten her. I soon started, to get angry. I was about to grab out my blade, but her father stopped me.

"If you strike. It will only cause war." He replied. Revern, then noticed me and gave me a dark grin.

"Oh, and who might you be? Oh, you must be her slave. Hmph, I wouldn't be surprised. She's a noble after all. So she's wicked." He started laughing and chuckling. I clenched my teeth, and hold my anger. I responded.

"Mizuki, not like that..." I said.

"Huh, what? You little shit, I can't hear you!" He responded to me. I punched him and shouted.

"Listen hear you bastard, I won't tolerate your trash-mouth crap. Mizuki, a great person, she's a kind-hearted person that cares for person. She's also a respectful person as well. I'll never allow a person like you, to be with Mizuki. Because... because..." I paused for a moment and shouted.

"Mizuki, is mine!" I shouted. It soon started to piss him off.

"Damn you!" He was trying to punch me. But I dodged him and kicked him. I pointed my blade at him.

"Leave here. I don't want to see your face here anymore!" I responded. Revern and the other two left, when I turned to look at Mizuki, she had a flustered look on her face and his father seemed pissed.

"You idiot, look what you did. You just cause, a war against his nation and Mizu now! We're all going to die!" He shouted.

"Don't worry, because i'll protect Mizu." I responded.

"Oh please, how can one man. Take down, a army of a million?!" He responded. I smirked and replied.

"Watch me. Mizuki, don't try and help me." I left to the outskirts of Mizu, to wait for the army to come.

After waiting for many hours, it was getting dark. Suddenly, I noticed a bunch of people from afar. It was the army. I stood up and grabbed my katana and walk towards them. When I arrived close, I saw Revern smirking.

"Hah, are you thinking of fighting the whole army?" He responded. I smirked.

"Just watch me." I took out my twin spears, but still had my blade sheathed. I'll have to use that as a last resort.

"Kill him and then destroy Mizu!" He commanded. The whole army, charged at me. I started to create speed around with my spears and soon I used fury barrage. To wipe up 1/4 of the army. Which cause, Revern to call in the magic unit. Crap, I'm weak against magic.

"Mages, fire!" The Mages, cast fire, water, earth, and wind attacks at me. I guarded it with my spears and absorbed the elementals. I may be weak against magic, but that doesn't mean I can use it. I jumped in the air and shot one of my spears at the army, causing a huge mud tsunami and a fire tornado. Wiping out the entire unit.

"Impossible, no ones ever destroyed that army that much. What the hell are you?!" Revern said, in fear.

"Send in the three generals!" He shouted. Five figures appeared. Each with different weapons. They soon surrounded me, one of them was fast and struck me. Causing me to go down, the other one smashed me with his giant fist on the ground, and the last one shot multiple magic attacks at me. Making me all bloody and wounded.

"Grr damn, that hurt!" I grunted in pain.

"Hahaha. If you surrender now, i'll make you one of my slaves. After, I finish killing everyone in Mizu!" He said, in a dark tone. I slowly, started to stood up.

"Like hell, thats going to happen." I threw my spear in the air and it exploded into a burst of light. Turning into mana energy.

"I'm going to finish this. I haven't perfected this technique yet. But, I hope this work." I focused all the mana into my blade and when I unsheathed it. I transformed and my blade took into a shape of a two-handed katana. It was heavy that I almost dropped in my hand. So I grabbed it with both my hand.

"Hah, so what. That weapons only going to slow you down. Generals kill him!" He shouted. The fast one, went up behind me. But I, swiftly struck my blade at him, using one hand. It sent him flying out of here. The giant one, tried to strike me, but I got on top of him and stabbed him in the back causing his armor to break and making him faint. I then commanded my blade, to turn back to normal and swiftly moved to the magic general. He tried shooting me with magic, but it took some time for him to cast it. In the process, knocking him out. All that was left was the leader.

"Impossible, you destroyed my army and defeated the three generals. Just who are you?!" He said, in fear.

"My name is Nightwing Hann. I'm a Mercenary from a small village and a Honored Knight of Hamel." I was about to walk away when he replied.

"You're a mercenary. Then I'll pay you to work for me. I'll give you anything, just please work for me." He begged. I replied.

"Heh, to a cowardly person like you. I can never forgive a person. Who hurt my friends. Especially her." I walked back to Mizu and saw everyone surprised.

"Amazing, you defeated their whole army?! Mizu, could never take on a whole army. But you... how do you do that?!" Mizuki father, said in surprise.

"They weren't hard to fight. Plus i've been practicing swordsmanship ever since I hold a wooden sword at the age of 3." I responded.

"I see. With a person like you, I'm sure that my daughter will be safe." He replied. I got confused, on what he was saying.

"Um, what do you mean?" I asked him.

"No father, you don't mean..." Mizuki paused.

"Yep, I declare this man. Your future husband, dear Mizuki!" He responded, happily.

"Ehhh!?" We both were astonished.

"I mean you have to admit, with a swordsman like him. He could lead an entire peace army and be victorious. With bringing peace with other alliances." He said. He put his hand on my shoulder.

"Take care, of my daughter." He responded. I was still confused on what happened and after that, we decided to stay before we went back to Elverna.

~The full moon~

I woke up, in the guest room. I guess I couldn't sleep so I went outside and saw the moon. It was amazing, I also heard footsteps, when I looked who it was it was Mizuki.

"Can't sleep?" I asked her.

"Yeah, its been hard to sleep. With all, the crazy things happening today." She responded. We sat down, together watching the moon.

"Hey Night, about the thing you said earlier." She replied, blushing.

"Hmm, oh you mean that?" I said.

"Was that... true?" She said, flustering. I started to blush, I scratched my head and thought about what I was going to say.

"I guess you could say that. You could say, I like you." I responded. She seemed surprised.

"Ehh, you like me?! I thought you just said that. Because you were joking?!" She replied.

"No, I wasn't. I meant it." I replied. She looked away, for a second blushing crazy and asking all these crazy question. Finally she turned around and look at me. She started to get close and kiss me in the cheek.

"Goodnight." She replied. Running, back to her room. Did she just kiss me? Well that was very surprising. I laughed at bit, blushing. After a while, I started to get tired and headed back to the guest room.

Though I wondered, why Mizuki invited me to her inheritance meeting anyway?
