I was worried this would end up being longer than Ch. 1, so I threw in a bit of fun. It ended up being LONGER. For updates, they will be very uncommon. I'm honestly just writing this because I'm taking a rest from writing Quests on 4chan. I am looking for a Beta to throw in a little wit and clean up the text.
"Agh" I started to stir in my bed as the sun light blasted my face with light. 'For Brimir's sake couldn't someone just turn you off!'
As I woke up the memories of yesterday started to come into my mind. I was able to summon my familiar, a deranged boy that argued with me for the rest of the day instead being quite, good Familiar. Too many lives were lost yesterday from his hardheadedness (my poor bed) and he made me lose my temper like I was just some child. I even cried myself to sleep because of his actions!
None of that explained why there was a second bed in my room. The figure in the bed rolled over in his sleep as I stared at him and grumbled about a Megumi. It dawned on me that moment that the person in it was none other than my thankless familiar.
"Familiar," I said in a voice filled with malice, "wake up."
I watch him stir a little, "Five more minutes Darkness…" came out of his mouth.
With the second bed in the room it really made what was a decent size room moderately cramp. With only a foot of clearance between our beds, I took a small leap and ended up above the fool. When I looked down at my Familiar, said person having a goofy smile on his face.
I kicked his head in, "Get up you useless familiar!"
"Fucking hell!" My kick didn't send him flying off the bed like I wanted but he did get up quickly to face me, "What do you want you Midget!"
Oh yeah. That damn nickname he game me yesterday. "Address me by 'Louise' you Plebeian. You have no right to call a noble a sugaring Midget."
A large smug smile formed on his face, "Nah, Midget sounds better. If you stop calling me Plebeian though I might consider it." Oh his voice is really made my flour.
Somehow we ended up having a glaring contest for the early morning. We could of killed armies that got between us with our sight alone. I was held together by Mother's 'Rule of Steel' while my familiar seemed to be spite incarnate. Ugh, why did this guy have to eggingly be so willful.
I whipped my head away from him, "I'd rather be called Midget than bow my head to you."
I could still feel the smugness of his face, "Alright then Midget, I get we're at a school so isn't there supposed to be classes or something?"
"Second Year Students have been given the day off." I said turning to his punchable face, "Today's the day second years take time and get to know their familiars."
"Lucky us then." He said without much care, "Once we eat something we should actually try that."
I grew a smile, "Oh, are you finally going to follow my orders as my Familiar?"
"Nope." He said flatly, "From what I guess, we're stuck together. If I've learned anything from my adventuring party is that no matter how much I hate the person we should at least try to get along."
"Fine." I said as I manhandled him towards the door, "Then get the sugar out of here so I can get dressed."
I kicked the smug ass bastard right through the door. Normally I would have the a servant like him dress me, but my womanly senses told me that even having him in the room was the absolute worse idea.
As I turned to open my closet I notice there's was a bed in the way. If I was not mistaken, it was the bed my Familiar somehow brought in here. I knew of a simple solution to clear up his mistakes.
*KABOOM!*
With a flourish of my wand I casted fireball on the misplaced bed, shrapnel flying everywhere so that I can have a path to my closet.
I could already hear the rumors going around that I, Louise Françoise le Blanc de La Vallière, found a use for her explosions. Ugh, I could already hear them saying how I'm better used as a cannon than a proper mage.
While there was a little chatter outside I started to put my clothing. I first placed my ash stained nightgown into a small hamper for the servants, sans not my Familiar, to wash soon. Trying my best to avoid the remains of my Familiar's bed, I went over to my dresser and retrieved a pair of undergarments. Putting them on held no issue, but the sounds coming from outside my door were like banshees that I could not ignore it.
With a sugaring hatred I opened my door in a thunderous roar. What I saw was the Milk, Kirche, as she was looking down on my Familiar with a scowl. Though when she noticed me the Milk grew a small smirk, "Oh my~, did you have fun last night Louise?"
I couldn't get my words out before she grabbed onto my Familiar's arm in a seductive manner, "Come on little boy, maybe you should spend your morning learning with me instead. I know I'm much better than the flat Valliere~"
I watched as my Familiar's face was morphed between bliss, confusion, and anger. I was turning into a dragon in my rage, "You B-!"
"[Create Earth]" My Familiar suddenly said, a white light coming out of his hands before he brandished it towards Kirche, "[Create Wind]!"
My mouth was agape as dirt flew from out of my Servant's hand and into Kirche's face. Oh the look of surprise alone was enough to make my day. In the confusion my familiar broke free of her grasp running to grab me and bringing the two of us into my room. Before we made it to the room, I saw Kirche's hair was gloriously ruined by the sheer amount of dirt in it. After that, my Familiar slammed the door with all the force he could muster.
We both had to catch our breath as from the sudden exertion before my Familiar started to cry. I blinked at him for a moment, "W-why in Brimir's sake are you crying Familiar?!"
He looked at me with a puppy dog look, "Why couldn't those big breast go towards someone without a whore's personality."
I slammed my hand into his skull for that even if I agreed with him, "You waffle! You are thinking about that but now Kirche will spread a rumor that I have sugared my own Familiar! How am I going to deal with that!"
My Familiar was about to say something before a resounding thud came from the door, "You bastards! Louise, bring your Familiar out here so I can fucking tear his limbs apart for ruining my hair!"
Before I could say anything back my Familiar pointed his finger at me, "Get dressed! I will not be called a Lolicon or be killed in this damn world!"
I could only click my tongue as I ran over to my dresser and started to finish putting on my clothing. As I took my time I saw my Familiar tying all of my cover's together. I could only yell at him as I slipped on my bloise, "What are you doing Familiar!"
He looked at me for a moment and yelled, "Getting us out of here! That girl is going to tear us limb from limb so we're getting out of here! Get dressed faster!"
I gave him a glare as I was finishing my skirt, "I will take my time Familiar! If there is just a slightest tinge of lewdness to my dress the rumors will only amplify!"
I could hear him clicking his tongue at my response, only to stop as the sounds of fire could be heard outside my door, "Open this damn door up Louise! I want to teach this Familiar why I am Kirche the Ardent!"
"SHEEEIT/SUUGAAR!" We both screamed our respective curses as my Familiar was finishing up his tying of the covers. I myself haphhazardly tied my cloak since we couldn't do waffle against the Milk outside once she got in.
"Done!" We both screamed as my Familiar tied my now rope like bed covers to the bed itself. He threw the line outside and rappelled down it without even a thought. I could only click my tongue as I could hear the flames now being bashed against my door, so I grabbed onto my coin purse on instinct and did the same.
I didn't really think much when I dropped down the three stories besides the thought of running away. When I landed I saw my Familiar making a mad dash for the gate like an idiot. I was about to yell at him before the sounds of my door finally shattering could be heard, "Where are you Louise! Where's that damn Familiar!"
I decided to instead joined my Familiar. As I was catching up balls of fire started to be flung our direction like a hail of arrows. I could only assume it was Kirche's anger at my Familiar and that the Milk was never in the best state of mind I don't think she would have mind hitting me.
The issue now was if we ran on foot than Kirche could do the same or even fly to catch us! There had to be some way we could-!
"Familiar!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, "To the right! Stables!"
"Shit!" He dodged a fireball that was about to singe him, "Got it!"
As we ran to the stables I brought out some Tristans from my coin purse and threw them at a stable hand, "Take cover! We're taking the fastest horse of the guard!"
The man's eyes widened as the fire based attacks were coming our way. He quickly caught the coin I threw and took cover in the stables like a rat catching sight of a cat. He pointed at a pure black horse, "Take her ma'am! Take her and get the hell out of my Stables!"
I watched as my Familiar made his way onto the large horse with a single bound. If I had time I would have clicked my tongue but reached my hand to him instead, "Get me sugaring up there Familiar!"
"Hai Hai!" He grabbed onto my hand and with a yank brought me to onto the horse. We could hear the attacks battering the magically reinforced roof as I grabbed into the horse's reins.
I looked in front of us only to see a closed main door. I clicked my tongue in anger since we didn't have the time but I heard my Familiar scream, "Blow it up!"
I quickly brandished my wand and pointed it at the door. I yelled at the top of my lungs so even Brimir could hear it. "[Fireball]!"
*KABOOM!*
Within a moment the entire door was blown up, revealing scorched grass as I began to bring my steed into a gallop. I made sure to throw a few more Tristan onto the ground on my way out before we fled.
"[Hide]" I could feel my Familiar say as he gripped onto my chest tightly. I would have blown him up for it, but I noticed that all of Kirche's attacks were still directed at the stables as I set the black steed into full gallop towards the gate.
As we sped down the cobblestone road I could hear Kirche's final remark, "I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS VALLIERE!"
We continued to ride at breakneck speeds for an hour. The scenery continued to change from epic valleys to forests of massive proportions. It didn't really mean much to us as the simple fear of being caught between a mage and a hard place meant we were scrambled eggs.
It would not be until we caught sight of the capital of Tristain, Amstrum, that I brought the horse to the side of the road. Without much ceremony I dropped from the horses in the opposite direction of my Familiar. I could feel my muscles burn from the ride and my heart racing from our near death flight. By Brimir I'm exhausted.
I must say though, it was worth seeing face of Kirche's surprise when my Familiar made her pay for such an act.
A small smirk broke out on my face before I bursted in laughter, "Ahahah! That was perfect, Familiar! Kirche's face was priceless!" I turned to see my Familiar looking at me like I grew a second head, "What? Kirche will learn her lesson."
He slowly nodded his head, "Why do you have a stupid grin on your face? We almost got ourselves killed!"
I simply shrugged, "But it was worth seeing Kirche's face though, was it not?"
I could see my Familiar grow a small smile, "Well maybe. Damn bitch got what she deserved for making fun of me."
"Amen Familiar, amen." I said with a cheer.
We laid down until the sun was at high noon for some rest. Even if remembering Kirche's face lightened my mood about this entire mess it still didn't mean we weren't exhausted from the escape.
It would be after what seemed like an hour that our stomachs started to growl and my Familiar groan in complaint. "Could we head to that city and get some food?" He said lazily.
I rose myself from the ground, "I believe that would be the best course of action. Is there anything you would want in particular?"
He looked at me like I was crazy, "You not going to chose for me? You seem like the type of stuck up Noble who would do that."
I ignored his attack with a wave of my hand, "It is simply a reward for what you did to Kirche."
He looked at me even more warily, "You were acting like a Tsundere last night. Why am I not being hit in the head with something just for talking to another girl."
I gave him a glare, "Do you want to eat or not."
He just shrugged casually before getting himself off the ground, "Hai Hai, I understand."
I watched as my Familiar mounted the horse, leaving me on the ground without assistance. I raised my hand up towards him and spoke with a sneer, "Get me up."
The boy simply rolled his eyes at me, "Hai." He grabbed my hand and with a jolt I was lifted onto the steed. From numerous years I've practiced and enjoyed I took the reins of the horse and got the mighty steed to trot.
I made my way past the merchants trying to get their way into the city. As I saw the Peasantry lined up I gave them a courteous nod of acknowledgement. With that, I finished our journey to the front gate.
"Uh, excuse me ma'am." I saw one of the Guard approaching, "Uh, which Family are you from?"
"Valliere, I am Karen of the Heavy Wind's third daughter. Before you ask, I am here just for some food with my Familiar."
The man gave me a nod before looking at my Familiar, "What about this man behind you? Sorry if I'm speaking out of line, but I don't really trust him."
"Oi! I haven't committed any crimes here!"
I quickly flicked the boy in his forehead before turning back to the guard, "Ignore him for he is in fact my Familiar. If you will question me more you will need to answer to my mother."
The man's eyes widened for a moment before nodding rapidly, "I-I understand! You may be on your way Miss. Valliere!"
I raised my finger to stop him, "If you don't mind, do you know where I can deposit my Horse?"
"Y-yeah!" He said quickly, "There is a stables to the left!"
With that I left the guard behind as I could just feel my Familiar's grin, "Huh, so thats how its supposed to be done. Fufufu, maybe I should have Darkness learn a thing or two from you."
I just shrugged at his wonder, "If we Nobles do not exercise our power what good is it?"
With that we quickly deposited the horse in the stables and took to the streets. The Capital was as always, busier than bees. It brought a nice warmth to my heart to know that my friend's kingdom will continue to thrive even with the death of her father, the Late King.
Of course we need to enjoy something, "Familiar, have you decided what we will eat?"
I got no response from my Familiar when I called out to him. It seemed like he was looking around, but I noticed his eyes twitch a little, "Familiar, I know you heard me. Are you not going to respond." I said with a little more mirth.
He grew a little smile without looking at me, "Maybe you should call people by their names, Midget."
I tried my best to keep back my growl at the man who had no respect for me. Though now that I thought about it, he said he attacked Kirche because she made fun of him. Damn, it seems my Familiar has a sense of pride that would put many Nobles to shame. Why can he not just bend his knee to me so we can eat!
And so we kept walking with the day's light going by. We made our way through a number of markets and past taverns, all with smells that I would have enjoyed. We could obviously hear each others sugaring stomachs growl in retaliation! The bastard will not bend his knee to his superior though!
Before we knew it however the sun in the sky settled near the horizen while the streets much less tame. The people around us were not nearly as nicely dressed as common folk, some even wearing just rags.
"Look what you did Familiar!" I barked, "Now we are slums for Brimir's sake."
His retort was quick, "Don't be blaming me Midget. You're the one who couldn't call me by my name."
"But you are my Familiar are you not!"
"I'm a human being ya Midget," he quickly retorted, "I don't see you calling every person Commoner or Noble!"
The two of us stopped around a corner to continue our argument. As I once again tried to break his will I noticed his eyes widen a little. He then made an attempt to walk away from me and turned to the corner.
I made my way over without much care, "Why are you so-!" I was suddenly brought into the Familiar's arms as he cover my mouth.
I was gonna bite his hand but my Familiar brought his finger to his lips, "We were being followed." He pointed towards the corner we just came from.
I realized he dragged me behind a wooden crate that seemed filled with trash. I would have cursed my Familiar again, but then a moderate sized figure emerged from the corner. It was sketchy, covered in a black cloak that hid most of their face save for a few strains of brown hair.
My Familiar gripped onto a sword on his back, "Okay Midget, I need you to make an explosion directed at the corner. Make it small enough to get their attention while I get them from behind."
"My name is Louise!"
"We've got worse shit to worry about you idiot!" The Familiar said as the assailant was now searching for us, "Fine, I'll call you Louise but you gotta call me Kazuma. Got it, Louise."
I grew a small smile, "That's fine by me… Kazama."
I watched as he slapped his hand into his face, "Good enough, just do it!"
I nodded to him and quickly casted a dot spell with a little will power, "[Flame]"
The small explosion went off like someone smacking wood, getting the person's attention easily. I watched my Familiar, Kazama, quickly emerged from the shadows and struck the person in the back of the head with the pumble of his weird blade, causing the assailant to be knocked out without even a fight.
"Good job Fa-Kazama," I said while emerging from the hiding spot, "Now we just need to-"
"WAIT!" My Familiar had his palm facing me, "That was way too easy. I should have ended up with my face in the ground or you almost blowing me up."
"What are you talking about Kazama?"
"Okay it's Ka-Zu-Ma for one! Two, this is too weird. Something about this person is not right!" He said as he cautiously touch the person's shoulder.
I stamped my way over to him, "What are you so worried about Familiar! Lets see who it is!" I gripped onto the person's shoulder, feeling the rather lax muscles like one would find on a Noble. I didn't pay it much heed though as I quickly turned them over to reveal-
"P-Princess Henrietta!"
I watched with bated breath as without the hood covering it, our assailant's face was one I recognized instantly. Her hair was turning from what was a brown to a rich, royal purple as if it was enchanted with disguise magic as we stared. It only took a moment though as her best friend, I realized my mistake.
"Oh Brimir oh Brimir oh Brimir! Princess why are you here!" I yelled at her unconscious body, "We need to take her to the guard!"
"No!" My Familiar scream, "Are you insane! We'll be on death row before you can say Explosion!"
"Well what do you think we should do!" I yelled at him.
He looked from side to side before nodding to himself, "First, we need to get out of here. We've been yelling too much so someone's gonna check us out."
I nodded, "Then we take her to the castle. There should be a water mage on standby for any-"
My Familiar flicked my head, "Did you not listen to me. We'll die if any authority sees us with her. Hell, why was she following us in the first place."
I thought for a moment, "I do not know why Henrietta is outside the castle! She should be with Queen Marianne since the King died." I tried to shake my best friend's limp body, "Why were you following us Ann! If you called me at any time I would have come to the Castle without care."
I turned to see my Familiar staring at me as if I couldn't tell a hamster from a Dragon, "Louise, you know this girl personally don't you. Are you two childhood friends?"
I nod my head vigorously, "Yes! The Valliere family has always been close to the Royal family. I was given the honor of being Princess Henrietta's playmate!"
I could hear my Familiar grumble something about altruistic Nobles and that Darkness name again before he picked the Princess up, "Okay, we just need to wait till she wakes up, right?"
I shook my head vigorously, "Y-yeah! I am sure Princess Henrietta would exolve any perceived crimes against us!"
My Familiar's eyes widened as I tried to give him assurance before kneeling to pick up the Princess, "Shit, we need to go! Something is tripping my Detect Enemy!"
"Where are we supposed to go?! Do we know which way these enemies are coming from!?"
"Shit shit shit…" He looked from side to side before pointing, "This way I think!"
So ran down the street. We passed a few people,their eyes widening in our wake. The sounds of movement could be heard more and more as we ran. My Familiar seemed to be struggling at holding the Princess as he ran. I could not even help him carry the princess, even losing my cape a few streets back
"Shit!" My Familiar screamed before disappearing behind a conveniently placed crate. Taking his cue, I quickly took my place behind him. He settled the Princess on his knee before placing a hand on my chest.
"Hey you d-!"
"SHHHHHH!" he silenced me as a pair of men came in front of us.
They looked to be civilians with concerned looks on their face, "Johnny said the guys went this way right?" Said one with a little fat on his bones.
"Yeah, he said the Kidnappers of her majesty were seen coming this way." claimed one with a small mustache.
"Shit man, what should we do?"
"Easy, we report this to the Guard. I know Johnny wasn't the only one who saw them, but if we tell the guard first thought we'd get a bunch of money, Hell maybe even a thank you from the Princess herself."
The mustached one's eyes widened, "Your right, what was their descriptions again?"
"Uh, I heard it was two men, a short haired brunette while the other had extremely long pink hair."
"Pink hair, was it a Valliere?!"
The fat one shook his head, "Hell no. They didn't have any sons and I never heard of a Valliere being a midget."
I watched as the men ran off with my Familiar holding me back from blowing them up. After a moment the men rounded the corner I was released. With this freedom I turned to try and strangle my Familiar, "Why the sugar did you stop me Familiar! They deserve death for their ignorance!"
He was keeping me back with his sugaring superior reach, "Don't go around killing people or me. We need to get some disguises on."
I clicked my tongue as I stopped trying to break free from the boy. I watched as he produced two pairs of masks from his pocket. They looked to be something you would find on a playing card but I could feel their magical power, "Put one of these on. I had Vanir enchant them to hide our identities."
"Why would I want to hide my identity!" I yelled at him, "I am a Valliere! One of the most powerful Noble Families in Tristain and Halkegenia!"
"Exactly!" He quickly placed it on my face before wrapping the Princess's cloak around me, "You are way too noticeable! We need to hide our identities until this mess goes over and if you are IDed I'm going down with you!"
He quickly removed the cloak that was covering the Princess and quickly placed it on me. I quickly looked into a piece of glass to the side, my figure now looking like some shorter than average male thief. Why did that man's description have to be so sugaring right!
I looked down to see the now cloakless body of my Princess. She was dressed in a knight's chain shirt and a tunic under that that seemed built to her curves. I watched in horror however as my Familiar was quickly taking off her chain shirt, causing my face to become sugaring hot, "What are you doing to Ann!"
"She's heavy! We won't be able to get around if shes got 25 pounds of metal holding her down!"
"F-fine, but I forbid you to undress her." I said with my face burning, "I-I will do it as I am her childhood friend."
He clicked his tongue, "Do it quick, the guards will be here soon."
With my face burning I quickened myself in removing the Princess's chain shirt. To think her hands were this delicate, almost as lovely as her face. I tried my best to ignore her beauty as I felt my Familiar's hand on my shoulder.
"Get back to work." He said in a snap, "I need to stay in contact with you so my [Hide] skill keeps us hidden."
I placed it into the back of my mind to talk to my Familiar about all these things he can somehow do. Right now I was finishing the removal of Henrietta's shirt, my face seemed to burn as I watched her…
"Oi! Don't short out on me!" I was now being shaken by my Familiar, "I'm not being thrown into jail on my second day of being in a new world!"
I was brought back into reality looking at my Familiar shaking me. The sounds of footsteps could be heard from the distance while Henrietta was lifted onto my Familiar's shoulders.
I quickly nodded, "L-lets go! And do not try anything to the Princess or I will whip you!"
"You're the one who was ogling her ya damn Midget." He said as he got up, "We can get out this way!" And he dashed off in a random direction leaving me to only follow.
"I will get you for this Familiar!" I yelled as we made a mad dashas we ran across an open street.
"Shit! They went this way!"
"KAMI-SAN!/FROSTING!"
I swore this was the most I have ever ran in my life. I chased after my Familiar from one alley to another, the sounds of guards coming ever closer as I swore under my breath. I swear fate was just playing with us now!
I mean, we turn a corner and there are guards stationed waiting at the end of the ally. We go right and there's a mob of civilians with pitchforks waiting for us. I even watched my Familiar cast clear forms of magic, touching the some members of the mob or guards while yelling "[Drain Touch]" before we ran another way.
With the Princess securely on his shoulder he quickly grabbed some rope that was hanging about. Taking it he tied it to an arrow be produced from his a quiver I didn't even know he had. In the next few moments watched as he brought up a bow I once again never realised he had, a small glow coming from his hand as he yelled, "[Snipe]!"
The arrow indented itself into the roof with the string attached. Within a moment he grabbed onto the rope before quickly running up it like some scared squirrel. I was about to yell at him before another group of Peasants came about the corner, forcing me to climb it myself.
As I made it to the top he quickly brandished a sword that sliced through the rope. I watched as some of the Plebeians that were climbing with me fell back onto the ground.
"Oh cupcakes." This was the first moment in a while that I was able to catch my breath. I turned to see my Familiar was looking over the city with a concerned look, "Kazuma, how the sugar are you able to run for so long."
"I, uh, Magic" He quickly responded before something seemed to dawn on him, "I think I got a way out of this damn city!"
"Really!" I yelled in relief, "Please, I want to stop running!"
He pointed towards where we came into the city, "If we run to the stables we might be able to snag our horse and escape through the gate! Once we get to a forest I can easily hide us before Princess here wakes up!"
I knew how stupid that idea was, but if we continued like this I was going to have a fit, "How do we get there though? I'm exhausted."
I watched as my Familiar came to my side, "Don't give out on me yet, [Drain Touch]!"
I could feel my body fill up with energy. It felt like I could go another round of that running but, "Familiar, what kind of magic is this!?"
"Magic from a Onee-San Lich." He said quickly before securing the Princess on his shoulder once again, "Now run!" He yelled before leaping across to a sugaring roof.
I felt good now, but I wasn't too sure I could do that. I looked back to see that the people were already bringing ladders out though, so I clicked my tongue before following my Familiar.
I could feel it though. The wind against going through my hair and the thrill of all that was happening. I felt like I was some hero in a story. I mean, who wouldn't start to become starstruck when you are bounding roofs of the Astrum!
As the sun was setting and we were almost halfway there I could hear the flapping of wings. I turned to face the castle that laid in the center of Amstrum. Emerging from it were 6 figures that flew through the sky.
"Griffins!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. My Familiar took notice as well as he started to curse himself. I watched as he brought out his bow again, "Are you going to shoot them Familiar!"
"No duh! We are sitting ducks out here!" He yelled as he notched his arrows, "I'm not going to jail and dying on the second day of my vacation! [Snipe]! [Snipe]! [Snipe]! [Snipe]! [Snipe]! [Snipe]!"
I watched in distinct horror as he released a series of arrow fire at them. I couldn't believe how fast they were going as the mages riding them didn't even have time to react. One after another the Griffins fell out of the sky in short succession.
"W-will they be okay!" I yelled in horror. If I remember Wardes was captain of the Griffins.
"I think so. I'm lucky so they should not die in the landing. I'm not to sure about the Griffins though."
"Great," I took my Familiar's shotty assurance that Wardes would live, "Let's get out of here Familiar!"
With that we continued to run. The sounds of the cities confusion and the running of the guards seemed to bring the city into a frenzy. Everyone seemed to be looking for the kidnappers of the Princess by now. Louise had to thank her Familiar now, if they were caught earlier or submitted they would have surely been lynched by the mob alone.
We almost made it before a voice could be heard, "Stop right there fiends!" Suddenly flying from the streets was a mage of sorts. On his chest was a triangle, the symbol for an accomplished line mage, "I will save the Princess from your clutches!"
I didn't even have time to think as my Familiar quickly brought out his cloak towards the person, "[Bind]!" I watched in surprise as the robe magically wrapped itself around the man, disabling him long enough for my Familiar to touch the man's shoulder, "[Drain Touch]!" An angry blue light seemed to suck the man's energy dry as he stopped fighting the bindings.
Without much ceremony we ditched the mage and finally made it above the stables. Without even thinking I bared my wand towards the roof, "[Fireball]!" I could feel the pull on my reserves as the roof was opened up, leaving our horse exposed and a series of things for us to drop down with.
With a few more hops we were on the horse's back. The burning of my muscles came back to me once again as my body seemed to take this moment to shut down.
"Oi, drive Louise! They'll know we are here soon!" My familiar yelled.
"I can't. I hurt so much. So much running and that spell."
I could feel him grabbing the back of my neck before yelling, "[Drain Touch]!"
I could feel another surge of power going through my body, allowing me to once again stand up right. With that I snapped the reins of the horse and we were off. The Guards and what seemed like a mage stationed at the gate were not prepared for us as I brought the horse through. With the Guards on their asses, we galloped onto the road and out of sight.
Today was the first day I realized just who I summoned. Satou Kazuma, a person who trouble seems to always find a way of attracting trouble and the most dangerous Familiar in the world by sheer luck. And you know what, he's also a sugaring idiot because we lost our chance to get some damn lunch!
