Chap: 2: The Dark Beings of Vanadiel

"You idiot !"

A man yelled out in total anger. Standing over a cowering mage, Oda and his sister Natalya were figuring out how to punish Demitri for failing his mission. Demitri was constantly trying to convince the siblings for his failure.

"But they were too powerful for me, I would needed more power to defeat them."

"That is a lie, many adventurers have gone to fight against you, only to be crushed in under 2 minutes. What makes this group any different?"

Natalya stepped forward to answer her brother's question.

" I think I can answer that question, the alliance was wearing some kind of emblem on their clothes. The group was also being led by the brothers Kai and Hiro."

Those last three words sparked a grin on Oda's face. He had heard of a special linkshell that had been created to take special missions but he never heard of any members in it that had ties to the head houses of the Vanadiel nations.

" Interesting, the sons of the Bastok president are leading a secret alliance that fights for all nations, I'll go and inform father of this, in the meantime punish Demitri for his failure."

Oda exited the room and made his way to the main chamber, leaving Demitri to Natalya's

creative ideas for punishment. Oda finally reached the doors of the main chamber, when Oda entered the chamber, he saw his father in the middle of a conversation with 7 other people covered in black cloaks. The sizes of the hooded figures easily gave away who they were.

" So how goes the operations on your fronts?"

The figures answer in order from tallest to the shortest one.

"Except for a few idiotic soul and some loggers things proceeding smoothly my front, I'm sure our soldiers will be ready when the time comes."

"Things are going purrrfectly. The weaklings they are producing are keeping the adventurers oblivious to our operrrrations."

"I've been studying our garrison stations, taru. They might been planning something to seek out information. I'll send few beasts to handle the situation and disrupt whatever they're planning."

After hearing the news, Reno (Oda & Natalya's Father) sent the cloaks away to hear Oda's

report.

"I heard Demitri failed to eliminate an alliance. Did you punish him?"

Before Oda could say his response, a loud scream rung out from down the hall and through the main chamber's doors. It was pretty much self-explanatory who made the scream. Oda decided to continue his report.

"Well, the reason for his failure was due to a newly created linkshell. From Natalya told me, the alliance was led by the president of Bastok two sons Kai and Hiro. I think this linkshell was made to probably stop our plans. "

"I see, any other details? Is there any way to identify them?"

" Well, they wear some kind emblem on their clothes. It contains 5 crystals connected together by fine pieces of mythril. We'll have to get a hold of it ourselves, I don't believe we can entice "

"Fine. Send messengers to our allies. Tell them to kill on sight any adventurers wearing this emblem and take it from their body.

Oda bowed and quickly exited the chamber to inform his sister of the new plan.

"President of Bastok, Takeda. I see you're having your children do your dirty work. That still won't save you from your fate."

Treeking: That wasn't too bad.

Ayame: Yeah, I like it. I wonder when I will come in.

HiroOfLegend: Don't worry you'll be in it, Ayame.

Kojan: Where's Dazarae and Auuvcent?

HiroOfLegend: They're getting ready for the next chapter. This is to celebrate a special event that has happened between the two. See you in the next chapter.

Kojan: Plz Read & Review.
