Chapter 16: Trouble in Deningrad
"I'm tired...I wanna sleep..." Eli whined as they walked along the now snowing trial. After they had left the cave, it had started snowing again, and Eli didn't like it one little bit.
"I can carry you..." Kai told her.
She gave him a look and smiled defeated. "Thanks..." she mumbled as Kai picked her up and carried her on his back.
Shantei smiled brightly as Kai looked at the now sleeping Eli. "You like her, don't you?' she whispered walking up beside him.
Face becoming pure red, Kai turned to Shantei's smiling face. "W-What? Uh...uh...h-how...did you k-know..." he stuttered full of embarrassment. Shantei just smiled and looked at him and Eli...perfect couple.
"Aww, I just guessed!" she giggled skipping away to the front.
Kai's mouth opened slightly. "Ahh...this can't...be happening..." he lowered and secretly, he smiled.
Lavitz glanced back at the two newcomers and smiled a soft but small smile.
: Snow Fields:
"It's...cold!" Aya cried, wrapping her arms around herself trying to keep in the heat. "I should have worn more clothes! AHG!" she yelled.
Lavitz stood still and unbuckled his cape lace and took it off and hand it to Aya who was behind him. "Here..." he mumbled before walking off forward again.
Holding the black cape in her arms Aya looked up at him. 'He could just me trying to earn your trust...then kill you!' he mind screamed. Shaking her head she wrapped the cape around herself and smiled. "Soft and warm..." she murmured.
Shantei wandered over to Aya and took the other half of the cape. "I'm cold too...hey you know what?" she whispered.
"Hmm...?"
"Lavitz is real sorry that he's the one going to destroy the Ultimate Magic...he told me, I think you should forgive him..." Shantei said softly.
"Mmhh...I-I can't trust him yet...my mind won't let me." Aya then kept silent since Shantei didn't speak again. They would have talked more about but Lavitz was walking right in front of them leading the way.
Kai walked along side Eli since she had woken up from her nice snooze. "So? How long till Deningrad?" she asked poking him in the ribs.
"A few minutes, keep you hair on..." he murmured.
"WHAT!" she yelled kicking his leg and stomping off toward Shantei and Aya. Kai blankly stared at her confused, and smiled. "Girls..." he whispered under his breath.
The sky was turning a little darker since they had left Furni. Lavitz was tense as always while the girls and Kai were having a lovely little chat. He closed his eyes in annoyance and walked a little faster.
'I wish...i have someone like Dart or Albert to talk to.' He thought about this for a while, as they reached a clearing full of foot printed grass. Lavitz stopped short and put a hand in front the group behind him.
"Stop!" he hissed.
Kai and the others looked up in a surprised look. "Lavitz? Why are you stopping us? I mean, just a little further till Deningrad!" Shantei told him before moving out from under the warmth of the cape and standing beside him astonished.
"You see?" he told her before cautiously taking a step forward and looking around. Just before he landed his second foot, an arrow whizzed past him fast making him fall backward with a cut across his nose and cheek.
"You okay?" Shantei asked.
"Get behind the trees now!" he told everyone before grabbing Shantei and hiding behind the trees.
"Hey! What's the big idea! MURMH!!" she muffled when Lavitz put a hand over her moth to shut her up. Kai looked around the edge of his hiding place and another arrow whipped past his face as well.
"Okay...no more misters nice shape shifter!" he yelled springing from the tree and attacking the nearest thing...a woman. The woman grinned and moved out of the way, just as Kai had reached the spot where she had been.
"Where'd she go?" Kai growled as he whipped his head upward to see a net fall toward him. "AHHH!" he yelled.
"KAI! MOVE!" Aya cried from her spot.
Too late. He was now covered by the net and struggling to get free. "Once I get outta here lady! You're gonna wish you've never been born!" he yelled at the woman standing in front of him.
"I'm sure you can't get out..." she snickered and the rest of the hidden people came out and surrounded Kai.
Eli and Aya looked from their spot and cried out. "KAI!" they yelled in unison before leaping from their spot together. Lavitz slapped his forehead. "Damn it all..." he mumbled before he and Shantei leaped out as well.
"Oh, what is this? More foreigners?" the woman said before getting her arrow ready and also her bow.
"Careful guys! I sense something from her!" Kai shouted from his spot on the ground.
"What's your name?" Lavitz asked peering at the woman with interest. "Lavitz, this isn't the time to ask names!" Shantei told him. "Tell me..." he said ignoring her.
"Miranda...sacred sister of Deningrad and Queen Theresa!" she yelled before a bright light emerged from her body. The White-Silver Dragoon. Lavitz's eyes went wide and he covered his eyes from the light.
"Wasn't Shana the White-Silver Dragoon?" he shouted asking the now full armored Dragoon Miranda.
Miranda looked at him as he said this and her eyebrows went up. "You know Shana? But...forget it, you! Go get them and the other get the other girl! I get him!" she shouted pointing in the directions to the Deningrad Knights.
Lavitz moaned. "This is not our day..." he whispered under his breath before getting an attack from Miranda's arrow. He moved out of the way with great speed so Miranda wouldn't see him.
"A demon..." she whispered. Sensing an attack behind her Miranda flew high and let out a yell. "STAR CHILDREN!" she cried sending forth the powerful light spell at Lavitz.
"SHIT!" Lavitz cursed as the spell fell down upon him, sending him right through a tree. Aya gasped as she saw him go, she wanted to run to him...but he was sorta the enemy to her besides her father.
"Ughhh..." Lavitz moaned in pain as he sat up from beside the fallen tree. He stared at it the started to get up, but Miranda already had an arrow pointed at his head.
"Give up now...Demon." She nudged the arrow closer to his head and frowned.
"You guys! Stop..." Kai said from where he had a sword at his throat. The girls looked at the two strongest of the group and sighed, lowering their heads in defeat.
"Tie them up...and then head home." Miranda kicked Lavitz in the face sending him backward. "I'll deal with him..." she hissed.
Tensing to the pain from the spell sent on him before hand he laid still on the wet ground. Knowing they would probably go to Deningrad, he moved his body to get up, only getting another kick in return.
"Aghh..."
A large carriage stopped from where Miranda and her Knights were. They loaded Aya, Eli and Shantei onto first, while Miranda moved behind Lavitz and kicked his head making him go unconscious. Kai was furious now, he stood and sort of ran and wobbled toward Miranda mad, but one of the Knights knocked him out as well. They loaded them into the carriage again before Miranda and two others jumped in as well while the others walked at the side.
"So...what are you bandits doing out here?" Miranda scoffed.
Aya curled up and a ball beside Eli and looked at Miranda like she was a poisonous snake. Eli was like an older sister to Aya since she was 3 years older making her 18.
"Well?" Miranda asked again.
Shantei took up enough courage to speak to the hot-headed sister. "We're NOT bandits! We were just traveling to Deningrad so we could get supplies for our journey!" she said steadily.
The other two girls nodded. "It's true; you didn't have to pick a fight with us!" Aya cried clutching the cape still wrapped around her.
"HA! Right...you look like bandits and those unconscious men right here look like bandit leaders. Tell me...what are you names kids?" she asked while added a little pressure to the 'kids'.
"Why should we tell you? You'll probably just tell Queen Theresa we were on the run..." Eli announced.
"I keep my word...i won't say that."
Aya looked at Kai then Lavitz. "You promise to let all of us go?" she asked trying a little trick.
"No...We'll have Queen Theresa to deal with that part." Miranda was starting to get annoyed. "Well?"
Shantei answered again. "I'm Shantei, this is Aya and Eli...the two guys you knocked out are Kai and Lavitz..." she mumbled slowly.
"Alright...that's enough. We're here!" Miranda shouted standing up and jumping out of the carriage. She led the others into Deningrad castle.
: Deningrad Castle:
"Miranda? Who are these people?" the queen asked. As Miranda answered she stared at the girls and the knocked out men carefully, peering into their souls.
"Their not bandits Miranda..." a voice said from behind the woman.
"Luanna...how are you so sure...look at Demon boy over there!" she said as Miranda walked up to the now waking Lavitz. She stood about ten feet from him.
"Uhh...my head..." he flinched as he moved, not able to get up. He looked up at Miranda and lowered his head. "Great...just what I need...Psycho women in my face when I first wake up..." he mumbled.
"WHAT!" she yelled taking a step toward him, making him look up and grinning. "How dare you!" she hissed.
"What? Did I make you mad? Miranda is it? Remember I have met you before." He turned his face to the side and closed his eyes waiting for an answer.
"The man...who was possessed by Zachwell...but, your DEAD!" she exclaimed backing up and pointing at him. Lavitz stared up at him and smiled a crooked smile.
"Yes...but I'm back, and I have a job to do!" he told her.
Aya, Shantei and Eli stared at the two and gaped. Just before Miranda was about to say something a voice came into the room. "MIRANDA!!! WE'RE HERE!!" a high voice yelled as the small person with silver hair bounced in with other coming too.
"Hi Miranda...uh? Did we catch you at a bad time?" Haschel asked looking at the girls and Kai then at Lavitz and stopped. "My god...it can't be..." he murmured.
"What can't be Haschel?" Shana asked moving up beside him. She looked at the spot where he was staring at gasped at what she saw. "D-dart! Come here!" he said in a slightly happy tone. Shantei moved back a little.
"What is it? Huh?" Dart's eyes widened as he laid his eyes upon someone who he knew. Lavitz. "You...you can't be here! Your dead!" he gaped at him and pulled Albert's arm into the door quickly.
"Who's dead Dart...and please stop pulling my ar..." he stopped short as he stared in disbelief at the person everyone else was looking at.
Lavitz defiantly didn't like everyone staring at him. "Can you all stop staring at me like that!" he snapped looking away from the dragoons. He wanted to go away...now he didn't want to see his friends. 'Why am I acting this way?' he thought looking down at the ground he sat upon.
"Lavitz? You okay?" Aya's voice peeped as she walked slightly closer to him. 'I should be scared...but, he's still my friend...' she thought walking fully up to him and sitting down next to him.
He glanced at her and then stood up. "I'm going for a walk...come find me when we're leaving." He left leaving no sound of footsteps.
Dart, Shana and the others stared at the door Lavitz had left though. "What's wrong with him?" Shana asked putting a hand on Dart's shoulder.
He only shook his head sadly. "I don't know..." he said to her while scanning the room and stopped on a little figure hiding behind Kai. He walked over to him. "Who's that behind you?" he asked Kai.
Kai looked over his shoulder at Shantei and smiled. "Ah...that's only Shantei. She's been traveling with Lavitz and Aya before we even met her."
"What?" Shana asked walking over.
"Um..." Shantei lowered her head as tears formed in her eyes. "Mom...Dad..." she mumbled.
That caught Dart and Shana's attention. "S-Shantei? Y-You...all grown up? What happened? Why did you leave! Tell us that." Dart put his hands on her shoulders and shook her gently.
Shantei looked away and sighed. "I wanted to see our world and travel it...but I seem to be in more of it then I thought. When I first met Aya she was running away, then her dad is after her...and me. Lavitz found us and we've been traveling with him meeting people like Eli and Kai, and also fighting her father."
"FIGHTING? Shantei, you're only FIVE!" Dart shouted.
Shana pushed Dart away a bit and moved and knelt down by Shantei. "Sweetie...you still haven't told us how you became 15...not 5." She put a hand to Shantei's face a wiped away a tear.
"M-Magic..." Shantei squeaked out.
"It's was my uncle who did it to us!" Aya said backing up her friend.
"You're Uncle? You mean? You were five as well? Are you Aya? What are you?" Dart suddenly asked questions all at once.
"TOO MANY QUESTONS! I'll answer them one at a time old man. Okay, number 1: Yes...my uncle Christopher and Cousin Joseph, number 2: I'm not mean, number 3: I WAS five now I'm 15 as well..., number 4: I'm a mystic...you have a problem with that?!?" she shouted her eyes glowing a bright green colour.
Dart rook a step back as the others watched cautiously. "You're a demon..." he hissed at her pulling Shantei behind him. "Dad...don't..." was all she could do to protest.
"DEMON! I am not a DEMON! I'm BEING HUNTED BY ONE!" she screamed out and falling to her knees. Tears were flowing down her cheeks as she cried. Eli ran over and hugged the girl.
Shantei pushed her father away and ran up to Aya as well. "DAD! Why do you have to be so mean to my friends!" she cried out to him.
"Shantei...what is the matter with you? Something is wrong with Lavitz and that girl...you should stay away from them. Even if Lavitz was my best friend, I can't let you be in any danger."
Albert looked between the two bickering father and daughter and frowned. What was going on... he had to find him. "I'm going to take a walk, anyone cares to join me?" he asked everyone.
"I would like to..." Aya mumbled running up to Albert and staying far from Dart. Shantei followed suit as did Meru and Shana. They left as they soon knew nobody else wanted to come.
"Why am I acting like this...is it the demon...or just me?" Lavitz asked himself while sitting in a tree in the garden. (He seems to be doing that a lot...)
'You bet its me...' a voice struck him as he snapped his eyes open searching around. 'I'm in your mind...' it spoke again.
Lavitz's body started to shake slightly. 'What do you want from me...get out of my MIND!' his mind yelled, asked for Emiegell to rid himself of torturing Lavitz.
'Ah...i don't want to, but I can give you power?' it said trying to convince him of getting his soul replaced by a demon.
"NO!" Lavitz yelled out suddenly. He opened his eyes and saw the sky, and the clouds. 'A dream...again...' he thought sighing. He didn't want to move, he just wanted to stay on the wet ground thinking of what to do.
"You're going to get wetter if you stay there!" a voice giggled from behind him. The bouncy wingly ran up to him and knelt down beside him and looked at his closed eyes. "Hello?"
"What do you want?" he asked scaring the wingly.
"DON' DO THAT!!!" she screamed making him sit upright and off the ground. "That's better." She smiled and jumped up. "You need to act more happy!" she giggled.
Lavitz started at the bouncy wingly and smiled slightly. "You must be Meru..." he mumbled jumping into the tree again. Meru looked up and laughed. "WOW! Are you some kind of super human?" she giggled.
Lavitz even had to laugh. "No...I'm not. But you can consider me as a half- human."
This made Meru's eyes bulge. "REALLY! What other half are you?" she asked curious.
"I don't think I should tell you that...go bug Albert or Aya or something..." he mumbled before looking up at the sky again. "You're no fun..." she whined stomping off in search of somebody else.
"I can't tell them yet...no...Not until this is over..." he said again to himself.
OKAY!!! WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH DART!!ARGH!!!! Ok...he's mean to Shantei in this, but oh well. Now, I want you guys to read this and review!!PLEASE!!Oh, and just to tell you chapter 15 is new as well!
Lavitz: Ok...I'm in a cell...what to do, what to do... (Sits and thinks)
Voice: I'll help you...
Lavitz: Wha? (Looks) AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHH!!!!!! (Faints form lack of oxygen)
Voice: I'm just an old man? What's so wrong?
Eli: Look in a mirror! (Laughs)
Old man: Huh? (Looks in a mirror) AHHHHHHHHHH!!! (Dies...from lack of oxygen)
Eli: Mhehehe.
Chapter 16: Trouble in Deningrad
"I'm tired...I wanna sleep..." Eli whined as they walked along the now snowing trial. After they had left the cave, it had started snowing again, and Eli didn't like it one little bit.
"I can carry you..." Kai told her.
She gave him a look and smiled defeated. "Thanks..." she mumbled as Kai picked her up and carried her on his back.
Shantei smiled brightly as Kai looked at the now sleeping Eli. "You like her, don't you?' she whispered walking up beside him.
Face becoming pure red, Kai turned to Shantei's smiling face. "W-What? Uh...uh...h-how...did you k-know..." he stuttered full of embarrassment. Shantei just smiled and looked at him and Eli...perfect couple.
"Aww, I just guessed!" she giggled skipping away to the front.
Kai's mouth opened slightly. "Ahh...this can't...be happening..." he lowered and secretly, he smiled.
Lavitz glanced back at the two newcomers and smiled a soft but small smile.
: Snow Fields:
"It's...cold!" Aya cried, wrapping her arms around herself trying to keep in the heat. "I should have worn more clothes! AHG!" she yelled.
Lavitz stood still and unbuckled his cape lace and took it off and hand it to Aya who was behind him. "Here..." he mumbled before walking off forward again.
Holding the black cape in her arms Aya looked up at him. 'He could just me trying to earn your trust...then kill you!' he mind screamed. Shaking her head she wrapped the cape around herself and smiled. "Soft and warm..." she murmured.
Shantei wandered over to Aya and took the other half of the cape. "I'm cold too...hey you know what?" she whispered.
"Hmm...?"
"Lavitz is real sorry that he's the one going to destroy the Ultimate Magic...he told me, I think you should forgive him..." Shantei said softly.
"Mmhh...I-I can't trust him yet...my mind won't let me." Aya then kept silent since Shantei didn't speak again. They would have talked more about but Lavitz was walking right in front of them leading the way.
Kai walked along side Eli since she had woken up from her nice snooze. "So? How long till Deningrad?" she asked poking him in the ribs.
"A few minutes, keep you hair on..." he murmured.
"WHAT!" she yelled kicking his leg and stomping off toward Shantei and Aya. Kai blankly stared at her confused, and smiled. "Girls..." he whispered under his breath.
The sky was turning a little darker since they had left Furni. Lavitz was tense as always while the girls and Kai were having a lovely little chat. He closed his eyes in annoyance and walked a little faster.
'I wish...i have someone like Dart or Albert to talk to.' He thought about this for a while, as they reached a clearing full of foot printed grass. Lavitz stopped short and put a hand in front the group behind him.
"Stop!" he hissed.
Kai and the others looked up in a surprised look. "Lavitz? Why are you stopping us? I mean, just a little further till Deningrad!" Shantei told him before moving out from under the warmth of the cape and standing beside him astonished.
"You see?" he told her before cautiously taking a step forward and looking around. Just before he landed his second foot, an arrow whizzed past him fast making him fall backward with a cut across his nose and cheek.

"Get behind the trees now!" he told everyone before grabbing Shantei and hiding behind the trees.
"Hey! What's the big idea! MURMH!!" she muffled when Lavitz put a hand over her moth to shut her up. Kai looked around the edge of his hiding place and another arrow whipped past his face as well.
"Okay...no more misters nice shape shifter!" he yelled springing from the tree and attacking the nearest thing...a woman. The woman grinned and moved out of the way, just as Kai had reached the spot where she had been.
"Where'd she go?" Kai growled as he whipped his head upward to see a net fall toward him. "AHHH!" he yelled.
"KAI! MOVE!" Aya cried from her spot.
Too late. He was now covered by the net and struggling to get free. "Once I get outta here lady! You're gonna wish you've never been born!" he yelled at the woman standing in front of him.

Kai looked over his shoulder at Shantei and smiled. "Ah...that's only Shantei. She's been traveling with Lavitz and Aya before we even met her."
"What?" Shana asked walking over.

"You're Uncle? You mean? You were five as well? Are you Aya? What are you?" Dart suddenly asked questions all at once.
"TOO MANY QUESTONS! I'll answer them one at a time old man. Okay, number 1: Yes...my uncle Christopher and Cousin Joseph, number 2: I'm not mean, number 3: I WAS five now I'm 15 as well..., number 4: I'm a mystic...you have a problem with that?!?" she shouted her eyes glowing a bright green colour.
Dart rook a step back as the others watched cautiously. "You're a demon..." he hissed at her pulling Shantei behind him. "Dad...don't..." was all she could do to protest.
"DEMON! I am not a DEMON! I'm BEING HUNTED BY ONE!" she screamed out and falling to her knees. Tears were flowing down her cheeks as she cried. Eli ran over and hugged the girl.

'Ah...i don't want to, but I can give you power?' it said trying to convince him of getting his soul replaced by a demon.
"NO!" Lavitz yelled out suddenly. He opened his eyes and saw the sky, and the clouds. 'A dream...again...' he thought sighing. He didn't want to move, he just wanted to stay on the wet ground thinking of what to do.
"You're going to get wetter if you stay there!" a voice giggled from behind him. The bouncy wingly ran up to him and knelt down beside him and looked at his closed eyes. "Hello?"
"What do you want?" he asked scaring the wingly.
"DON' DO THAT!!!" she screamed making him sit upright and off the ground. "That's better." She smiled and jumped up. "You need to act more happy!" she giggled.
Lavitz started at the bouncy wingly and smiled slightly. "You must be Meru..." he mumbled jumping into the tree again. Meru looked up and laughed. "WOW! Are you some kind of super human?" she giggled.
Lavitz even had to laugh. "No...I'm not. But you can consider me as a half- human."
This made Meru's eyes bulge. "REALLY! What other half are you?" she asked curious.
"I don't think I should tell you that...go bug Albert or Aya or something..." he mumbled before looking up at the sky again. "You're no fun..." she whined stomping off in search of somebody else.
"I can't tell them yet...no...Not until this is over..." he said again to himself.
