"Tranquil! There you are! We've been searching for you all over!" a harassed female huntress cried gratefully as she headed towards Silver and Tranquil. Closely following behind her was a knight, assassin, and blacksmith, also looking harassed yet happy to have found their mate.
"Sorry, Mika. I guess I lost you midway while collecting those stuff lying around," Tranquil replied, somewhat abashed at the trouble she had caused.
"Well, next time, stick closer to us, okay?" Mika said sternly, "It's a dangerous place here and you could get hurt."
Defiantly, Tranquil retorted, "But I won't be hurt. Silver can protect me!" The huntress' finally noticed the wizard standing quietly behind her. "I see. Well...Silver, is it? Thank you for rescuing our irresponsible friend. We are grateful for you help," she said. Silver just smiled and said, "No problem."
Just then, Mika's party reached them. "Tranquil, are you okay?" the assassin cried anxiously. The rest voiced out the same question with equal anxiety. Tranquil merely shook her head and said she was fine.
Mika introduced her party members to Silver. There was Sakura, the female knight, Variante, the male assassin, and Black, the male blacksmith. Soon, all of them were shaking hands and chatting like long-lost pals. "Hey, Silver! Want to join our little party here? We're hunting down some earth petite. Oh yeah, and we're helping Tranquil level up soon too. She's going to be an aco soon," added Variante, grinning away.
Silver looked at the sky and shrugged. He didn't have anything to do anyway. Plus, he was pretty bored. Maybe this party would be just the thing to expel the loneliness and that strange feeling inside him. "Sure, why not?" he said jovially. "Yay! Silver's with us!" cheered Tranquil happily. The rest of the party just looked at her amusedly.
Suddenly, before anyone could actually move, a mob of Baphomet came along. "Yikes! What's old Bapho doing here?" yelped Black. "Looks like someone summoned it. Come on! Let's kill it before it does any more harm! Tranquil, stay back. I don't want you to get hurt," Mika said grimly, "And Silver...Silver?"
Before anyone could say a word, Silver dashed out with his arms flailing and yelled, "Hey you ugly brute! You want a piece of me? Come and get it!" Upon hearing his insult, Baphomet muttered something unintelligible and charged towards Silver along with his mob of Baphomet Jr. "Silver, get out of the way! What are you doing?" gasped Sakura as the rushed towards Silver to help him. But before they were at his side, Silver took out his 7 Bone Wand and chanted, "By the Winds that enchants Fire, I summon thee, LORD OF VERMILLION!"
Almost at once, meteors of blazing fire came popping out from nowhere and began shooting towards Bapho and his sidekicks. Silver actually had the time to cast this spell four times without stopping! The monsters yelled with pain and agony, but soon stood up once more and charged towards Silver again. Undeterred, Silver raised his wand once more and chanted, "With the will of Earth and the blessing from goddess Gaia, arise, HEAVEN DRIVE!" SLAM! The earth quivered and spluttered before forming large, sharp spikes of earth. Almost immediately after, Silver took a deep breath and began chanting once more, "By the power of heaven and sky, grant me the forces of blue flame, JUPITEL THUNDER!" CRASH! BOOM! Silver moved from left to right in a blink of an eye, avoiding the death blows from the horned beast as he kept on chanting his spells. Baphomet and his mob soon cried with pain at the double attack before falling down to the ground, dead.
Happily, Silver began collecting the items left behind by the deceased Baphomet. "Yeah, another Bapho card!" he said happily. Then, he noticed the others were staring at him. "What?" he asked self-consciously.
Mika, with her mouth agape, said, "Wow, Silver! You were..." her voice trailed off, speechless.
"You were awesome!" Black exclaimed. Soon, everyone was cheering for Silver. That is, all but Variante. He wasn't sure why, but somehow he got the feeling that he had seen that move before. I'd better check with the assassin guild later, he decided.
