I have invaded your thoughts and screens using the mind control shield! Watch Crunchyroll! Play Destiny and support the official release! And remember to review!

Also guest, you are really good at predicting my ideas. Would it be possible for you to make a profile so I can bounce some ideas off you?

Also the next chapter will be for Effected Destiny

Story Start

On the way to the capital we took many detours including helping out at a town that was falling into complete disrepair due to the extreme taxes they were under, what made it worse was that there was a large number or refugees from a far country due to a rebellion caused by a someone wielding a bow which sounds extremely familiar. I also spent some time cleansing the two crystals from the dark taint that inhabited it that we recovered from the body of the zombie dragon and thinking about what I can use it for since they seem to have similar properties to an extremely large enhancement prism.

It was after one of these side mission to clear out some monsters that were causing some problems near a village that we encountered someone unusual.

"Hey daddy there is a person over there!" spoke Filo

"A small girl, what is she doing out her by herself? She can't be from the nearby village her clothes are way to good to be from there." said Ar'na

By this time all the filolials that were surrounding the girl had noticed our approach and ran off.

"Look at all those yummy birds run away, can I chase after them?"

"Yummy birds? Filo they are filolials just like you! You can't eat other filolials!" exclaimed Raph

"Wow so big...I've never seen a filolial as large as that one!" said the strange girl interrupting a conversation that was better left till later or better yet never, which reminds me I need to make sure she never eats filolial meat

"You mean me?" asked Filo

"You can talk! That's amazing! I have always wanted to talk to a filolial and now I am!" said the girl so cheerfully that I swore that her head was about to explode with joy

"Hey I've got some dried meet, would you like some?" the stranger asked Filo

"I would love some!" answered Filo

"Filo...what do you say to the nice girl?" I asked

"Thank you!" said Filo as the stranger started to pet her feathers

"What's your name?" Asked the stranger

"My name's Filo, what's yours?"

"I'm Melty, it's nice to meet you Filo! Would you like some more meat?" asked the now identified Melty

"I would love some! Hey daddy can I play with Melty?" asked Filo

"Sure but someone has to stay with you to make sure nothing happens."

"I can do that you guys head back to the village to get everything ready for our departure." spoke up Ar'na

"Really...YAY!" Shouted out Filo as she transformed into her human form

"Wow you can transform to, that is so amazing!" beamed Melty

"I'm glad this happened, Filo needs more friends her own age."

Many hours later that we spent healing Filo and Ar'na finally came back.

"I'm back daddy!"

"I can see that, how was your play date?" I ask

"It was great daddy."

At this Ar'na speaks up "They did have plenty of fun, however Melty hear has something serious to ask you." she says as Melty walks in

"I apologize for showing up so late. But I was wondering...if I could travel with you to the capital?" asked Melty nervously

"What, why do you have to get to the capital?" asked Raph

"Well I was one my way to see my father but when I saw the filolials…"

"You snuck away to play with them and lost track of time." I finished

"They just looked so beautiful...I had to pet them! And before I knew it my guards were nowhere in sight so can you please let me travel with you?"

"That would be no problem, we are heading that way anyway. Though if you can I'd like some form of payment though."

"My father would happily give you as a reward for helping me."

The next morning we left the village and headed towards the capital, the journey took tow whole days and aside from Raph travel sickness and a few low level monsters we encountered no problems...well aside from the night we camped.

"Callum, what are you doing?" asked Raph

"I'm reforging one of my swords, my bolt caster and turning it into a claymore...its a great sword from Scotland, my ancestors homeland.

"But why are you doing it?"

"Well with the benifets gained from manually making weapons I thought I'd take the opportunity to rework my sword, and use the smaller power stone that we got from the zombie dragon. I haven't worked out what I'm going to do with the larger stone yet, at the moment I'm thinking of breaking it up into four parts and using them to argument everyone's armour."

"Well that would be helpful, wait a minute where is Melty?"

"She is right over...where is she?"

"The only thing here is her clothes!"

"Wait you don't think that Filo could have...…"

"What no, she wouldn't, she couldn't!" protested Raph

"But she said even other filolials looked tasty...Raph we have to destroy the clothes."

"What but Callum we can't do that!" protested Raph

Filo at this moment decided to wake up, it seems Raph's and my conversation woke her.

"Daddy?...what's wrong?" asked Filo sleepily

"Filo you can't go around eating people, this can't happen again!" I ordered

"What are you talking about?"

"Filo, what did you do to Melty?" asked Raph

"What are you talking about? Melty is right here...Hey Mel it is time to wake up!" Filo says as she prods her feathers causing a sleepy Melty to pop out..a very sleepy and naked Melty!

"Why are you naked?" I ask

"It was so soft and warm in here so I had to take them off."

"So a naked girl is sleeping with my daughter...I'm going to bed, Raph you can handle this. Night!" I said quickly at the end

And with that I went to bed, the next day we arrived at the capital and went our separate ways. Filo walked with Melty to her home, both escorted by Ar'na while Raph and Ino went for supplies and I organised to buy some final medical supplies in preparation for the upcoming wave. It was after arranging a order to be taken to my carriage I ran into a young knight.

"Shield Hero!"

"What? Hey you look somewhat familiar, do I know you?"

"Yes, I was one of the soldiers that helped you fight of the monsters attacking the Lute village. You see I was born at the Lute village and call it my home, myself and a number of others want to fight along side you during the next wave!"

It was at that moment I sensed an attack coming and reacted instinctively, sweeping aside a spear and planting a fist firmly into colon of the offending party, then with my fist still there I swing around and slammed them into the ground...creating cracks around them and then kicking them away. It was at this point I finally see who attacked me.

"Motoyasu what the hell are you doing!"

After stumbling to his feet Motoyasu starts to speak "Where is she, where is that slave girl!"

"For the last time Raphtalia is not a slave!"

"I'm not talking about her, I'm talking about the blonde girl with wings on her back!"

"Are you talking about Filo?"

"Filo, so that is her name! I have never seen a girl as perfect as her, I can hardly believe that there is a girl like Freon from Hellworld. You see I have a thing for angels!"

"If you try anything with my daughter I will rip of your dick, mount it on your spear AND JAM IT UP YOUR ASS!" It was then I noticed the metal protective cup he was wearing and the fact that his hair was a lot longer then it should have been "Is that a cup and are you wearing a wig?"

"It's not a wig! I used some magic to regrow the hair you removed and as for the cup its because of that big fat bird of yours! Now are you going to fight me fair and square or are you going to try another cheap shot at me?"

"Fair and square, cheap shot...your the one who attacked me out of nowhere Mr Cheapshot. And no I won't fight you hear, there is a reason why crucible matches are fought away from civilisations and not in public areas."

"The shield hero is right, this is a public place and no place for a duel!" said the young knight

"It is now!" calls out a voice from nowhere, a voice that unfortunately is extremely familiar. Sure enough when I turn in the direction of the voice I see Malty holding out another royal decree "By the power invested by me as the royal princess I declare this to be an official duel between the spear and shield hero! Soldiers surround them immediately!"

The soldiers do as commanded and soon enough we are surrounded by soldiers with drawn swords.

"Lower your weapons immediately." ordered a voice "This is no place for a duel and I will not tolerate hero's fighting each other!" said the voice once more with the owner being revealed to be none other then Melty.

"W-What are you doing here!" demanded Malty

"It has been far too long...dear sister." replied Melty

'So Malty and Melty are sisters, have to say not exactly the most imaginative names.'

"Spear Hero, please look around at all the people nearby. These people would have been hurt...perhaps seriously if a fight had been started here and sister your fun and games have gone on for far too long!" said Melty

"I have only been doing my duty to help the spear hero Motoyasu." argued Malty

"So your idea of helping is having him fight in a public place and no doubt destroy public property? Dear sister you really need to think things through."

"You dare speak to me like that...little sister?"

"If I need to I will tell mother about what you have been up too!"

'It seems like the younger sister has won this sparring of words with the dreaded I'll tell mum on you card' I thought mirthfully to myself

"What's going on?" asked an approaching Ar'na with Filo not far behind.

"Just the usual stupidity from.." I started to say before being interrupted by the idiot himself

"Filo, that is your name isn't it?"

"Yes that's me!" said Filo cheerfully

"You poor thing, I bet Callum is using you like a beast of burden just like that fat stupid bird!"

"Why did you have to call me that, why do you always have to be so mean to me.."

"Mean, when was I mean? I only said that his bird was fat and stupid not you."

At Filo transforms into her bird form

"I hate you spear guy!" Filo said angrily before delivering a full powered groin kick

'It doesn't seem that cup helped much' said Casper mentally

'Its been a while since I heard from you, what have you been doing?' I ask

'Sorry but I've been analysing the energy that the waves give off and trying to find out whats causing them, or more precisely who is causing them. Because I've managed to rule out the possibility that this is a natural occurrence as the energy it gives of in no way matches anything from this world.'

'So there goes the idea that something in this world was making the waves occur..like a beacon of sorts. Speaking of beacon, have you finished calibrating the device we have been working on?'

'Its ready, but the window for it to work is only as long as the waves last. So unless someone is looking for it, it won't do much good but if we do get a response hopefully we will be able to create a bridge between our worlds encase something goes wrong. Also I have some bad news, while I was analyzing the energy signatures of the waves I noticed that there are faint traces of the same signature outside this kingdom.'

'Does that mean what I think it means?' I ask fearfully

'Yes it seems that the other kingdoms we heard about have also been experiencing the waves.'

'Shit, why didn't you tell me!'

'Because they were traces! The wave was already over long before I was picking anything up.'

'That bloody king, I bet he is doing this in order to gain an advantage over the other kingdoms! Because by the time the waves are finished the other kingdoms would be weakened a lot more then Melromarc would be, thus allowing him to either repel any attacks with ease or even take land and invade the other kingdoms.'

It was at that point I noticed that Melty was approaching us

"Our Saviour of the Heavenly Fowl, no Shield Hero is your name."

"Actually my name is Callum, the others are just a title and a description...small girl with blue hair."

"Very well you have made your point clear, I was wondering if I could have a word in private with you."

"That would be possible and we know a good place to do it." said Raph as she and Ino made there appearance "There is a blacksmiths not to far from hear that sells multiple wares."

Soon we were all gathered in a shop run by a bald headed man what had a number of facial scars.

"Hello little misses, how can I help you today?" he asked

"Hey Erhard I was wondering if we could use this shop for a meeting?" Raph

"For you any thing little lady."

"So why are we even here?" I ask Melty

"Forgive me for not introducing myself properly before, I am Melty 2nd princess and first in line to the throne of Melromarc!"

"I'm guessing due to your sisters poor personality she chose you as her heir instead of your sister?" I ask

"Yes, to put it bluntly my sister...has always been a problem child and I was chosen over her." replied Melty

"But why do you want to talk to Callum?" asked Ar'na

"I have been sent my mother to rebuke my father and apologise for my father and sister as well as get the shield hero and the king to work together."

"You know it is pretty insulting to get an apology from a third party knowing that the offending party has no intent of a apologising for there actions, and no I will never work with the piece of shit king!"

"But you have too! Mother will.."

"Princess Melty the king requires your presence at once!" said an interrupting knight

"Melty, I'd like to give you some advice, your sister is cruel, merciless and power hungry...if she sees a chance to take the crown she will. Do you understand!"

"I know my sister isn't the best person but she would never do such a thing!" protested Melty

"Either way, please be safe my daughter doesn't have many friends and I'd rather no harm come to those she likes." when Melty leaves I turn to Filo "Filo unless Ar'na or I am with you, understood!"

"But daddy Melty is a good person!" protested Filo

"That she is! Unfortunately those she trusts like that shit princess and bastard of a king wouldn't hesitate to harm you if it meant getting to me." placing an arm on her shoulder I continue "Filo, I don't want anything to happen to you, so please promise me you won't go and see Melty unless Ar'na or I am with you."

"If it means that much do you..I promise daddy!"

"Thank you..now since it is only a couple of days to the next wave I think it is time we all got our upgrades."

"Wait! You seemed angrier at the king then I thought you'd be, what happened?" asked Ar'na

"Earlier before I learnt something horrible, Melromarc isn't the only kingdom facing the waves."

"But that means...the other kingdoms would be nearly defencless!" turning to Ino she asks "WHY why didn't you tell us such a thing was happening!"

"I-I didn't know, the way I was told suggested it was Melromarc alone that would face the waves...plus I am a new adventurer and have never gone beyond the kingdom lands and aside from where they live I don't know much about the other kingdoms besides common knowledge."

"It doesn't matter, the king of Melromarc has shown himself untrustworthy! So after this wave we will leave for another kingdom so we can learn where he next wave is coming from! "
