The Devil's Knighthood Chapter 19 The Water Ruins

When the Traveling Mages woke up they packed up camp and continued their journey.

" Mia, Do you feel ok?" Ryan asked. They were still in there tent. Alex was telling them to hurry up.

" Well, my Neck is still sore from that noose. They pulled pretty hard." Said Mia.

" I can help with that." said Ryan. He pulled Mia close and kissed her neck. She gave out a low moan of pleasure.

" Do that later! I guess you didn't get enough of each other last night huh?" Ryan stopped and both he and Mia blushed 25 shades of red. They rushed out of their tent.

" WE DIDN'T DO THAT PERVERT!" They both shouted.

" Let's go." said Alex. They continued through the forest, occasionally fighting monsters. eventually they reached the Sunken Temple.

" I remember this place, This place is an important spot for my parents. Mom said this was were she realized how human she had become and hadn't realized it. Their was also something else too, but Mom and Dad seemed too embarrassed to tell me. When It ask him why they were both blushing, he said 'Naked' then quickly said 'Nothing'." Monfar gets a perverted grin. " They didn't do that! Geez, get your head out of gutter."

" Wanna explore the temple?" asked Zack.

" Why so you can pretend to be legendry hero?" asked Alex.

" No, We might find something valuable in there." So they all entered the ruins. The inside seemed to be made of Blue Marble. There was three paths in the entering Hall way.

" Let's split up." Said Alex.

" Why? So you two can..." Monfar stopped short when he saw their glares. " Cover more ground, yeah cover more ground."

" So which group do I go in?" asked Zack.

" You are staying behind." Said Laura.

" Why?"

" Because you almost got killed by those ogres." Laura's eyes went wide, a hand was rubbing her rear. " Blue Dragon Palm!" Monfar went crashing into wall just above the entrance. " On second thought, You should come."

" But those going to watch Monfar?" asked Ali. Alex started Sniffing. He went to Ali's bag and began rummaging through it.

" Alex what are you doing?!" Alex ignored her.

" There you are." He mumbled. He pulled Garnet out of Ali's bag.

" Garnet?! What are you dong here?" asked Ali.

" Traveling, just like you." Said the little red Dragon.

" My parents sent you didn't they?"

" Well..."

" They did?"

" Yes..." Ali let out a sigh.

" I wish they wouldn't treat me like a baby."

" I know, she can watch Monfar." Said Alex.

" BUT! I want to explore too!"

" You're staying here!" Alex ordered.

" Fine! But you owe me for this!" Garnet flew over toward Monfar. They split up. Group 1, Alex and Ali, Group 2, Ryan and Mia, Group 3, Zack and Laura.

With Group 1

" I can't believe my parents did that! I thought they had more faith in me!" Ali said. Alex wrapped an arm around her shoulder.

" They're just worried about you. That must be nice."

" What do you mean?"

" You saw how my Parents were. They were so in love with each other and the dragon kids, me and Garnet didn't get nearly much attention as you must have." Ali gave Alex a sympathetic look. " Don't worry, It wasn't that bad. We got lots of attention, just not as much as their own children, we were dragon kids like the rest."

" It must been horrible." Alex shook it off.

"Nah, We were never lonely with all the other dragon kids." He said. " WHOA!" The floor beneath their feet disappeared. Alex spread his silver wings and hovered above the dark gap.

' Good thing I still had my arm around Ali.' He thought.

" Looks like someone doesn't want use here." said Ali.

" Wanna find out who?" Alex asked. A mischievous look in his eyes.

" You have to ask?" Ali answered, the same look in her own eyes.

With Group 2

" Does your neck still hurt?" Ryan asked. smiling.

" As a matter of fact it does." Said Mia also smiling. Ryan pulled her close and kissed her neck again. She snuggled closer into his arms. Ryan felt something get hot on his chest. He immediately he ducked with Mia as a spear shot over their heads.

" That was close." said Ryan. More spears came

" We're not out of the woods yet." said Mia. As she chanted a spell that caused a rush of water to stream from her hand, it reached the spears, pushed against a turn in the tunnel and crushed them to little splinters.

" Wow Mia. I didn't even your water spells were that good." Said Ryan.

" They're not, that's why I'm working on them." said Mia.

' Then where did all that power come from?' They both wondered

With Group 3

" Is Monfar always like that?" Zack asked.

" Yes, or least as far as I know. We didn't live in the same town." said Laura. She suddenly stepped in front of Zack and made a fist in front of her.

" What is it?" Zack asked. Laura turned around and showed Zack the arrow in her hand.

" I heard it coming." She said simply.

" You're good. " he said. " Let's find out who fired that arrow."

" Right."

With Group 1

Ali an Alex were having little difficulty getting through the traps, Alex was using his wings as a shield and therefore blocking all the attacks. Ali used her wind Magic to lift them over gaps so Alex didn't have to use his wings.

"Someone has too much free time on their hands if they set up all these traps on their own." Said Alex.

With Group 2

Mia was still using her abnormally powerfully water spells. Spirit warned them were the traps were and when they would spring. Ryan acted as a back guard incase some traps tried to hit their blind side.

With Group 3

" Dopple Dance!" Called Laura. Her DoppleGaner appeared and ran through the tunnel activating all the traps, she was solid enough to activate the traps but astral enough so that she wouldn't be hurt by them.

" That's a pretty handy technique, Could you teach me?" Zack asked.

"Sorry, but I'm still a disciple." She said.

?????

" Who are these people? They're going through every trap I have and none have worked. But I'm not worried if they reach me, He will protect me." ???? said.

With Group 1

" Looks like that's the last one." Said Alex. They reached a door and opened it, leading to a much larger chamber. Soon Mia and Ryan came out of another door. Then Zack and Laura came.

" You guys get attacked by a bunch a traps too?" Zack asked. Everyone else nodded.

" You may have gotten past by traps, but I still have by pet!" Shouted someone from the shadows of a fourth door.

" Pet? Is that supposed to scare us?" asked Ali.

" He will when you see him! Kazeha! Come forth!" The wind picked up around the area in front of the fourth door. It took the shape of a bird and solidified into a giant falcon with grey feathers.

" Destroy them!" The Falcon screeched and flew toward the mages. Zack drew his twin short swords one had a dark blade and another had white blade. and net the falcon's charge. However when he slashed at the Falcon it became a burst of wind and his blades went right through. Then the falcon reformed and slashed at Zack with His sharp curved beak. Zack jumped back with an ugly gash starting from his right shoulder going diagonal to his left hip.

" Now you've done it! You're hurt!" said Mia.

" I'm fine." Zack touched one of his short swords, the one with the white blade, to his shoulder. A white light started there, and traveled down the wound. When the light dispersed, the wound was gone. " Having the power of light comes in handy." He said with a smirk.

" Let me try." said Laura. She turned to her DoppleGanger. " Ready?"

" Ready!" She said. They both lunged at Kazeha, The falcon batted Laura away but when her Dopple Ganger attacked she wasn't batted away, but instead she launched a punch/kick combo that brought the Falcon down. Kazeha got to his feet but still couldn't hit LDG, so he burst into wind and this time was able to hit her Ryan turned to Spirit and saw he was in a daze. He was staring at the two fighters.

" What's up Spirit?" He asked. The Fire mage didn't know it was possible for ghosts to blush, but apparently it was.

" Nothing!" He said.

" What can defeat a creature that can dematerialize into wind?" Wondered Alex.

" I got it!" Said Ryan. " When Wind cools...."

" It turns into water then ice! He won't be able to move!" Finished Mia. She chanted a spell to fire a torrent of water at Kazeha. Ali assisted by using cold wind to cool down the water. When they stopped their spells, a giant frozen bird stood.

" NOO!" Shouted ????, He tried running back but Mia used another spell, this one was a water barrier that prevented ?? from running.

" You're on a roll Mia, it seems like you never run out of MP." said Ryan.

" It's because of this temple. It was originally made by the Original Vile Tribe to honor this planet's Water God." Said ??

" Who are you?" They asked.

" I am Asigit! The last of the Faithful!" He said. He had blue hair and eyes, and wore a blue robe, his skin was very pale, as if he'd never been in the sun. He was also about their age.

" Last of the what?" Asked Laura.

" Last of those Faithful to the Water God of Lunar!" Said Asigit.

" But Althena's the Divine Being on Lunar, or was." said Ali. Asigit snorted.

" When Althena came most of my ancestors started worshiping her instead of the other gods of Lunar. It was because she turned Lunar from a desert to a Bountiful forest." He said.

" Why did you attack us?" Mia asked.

" I thought you were Temple Robbers. There were a couple a few decades ago, that's what my dad said. They came in here, Stole a valuable Dragon's Eye Jewel and left." Said Asigit. " That's why my parents installed the traps. They said side outsiders couldn't be trusted." Ali laughed nervously.

' That was my dad.' She thought.

" Asigit, Have you ever meet a 'Outsider'?" asked Mia.

".....No."

" Have you ever even left this temple?"

".........No."

" Then how do you know outsiders can't be trusted?"

" Because my parents said so!"

" Why don't you think for yourself and make your own decisions?"

" ......I guess I could. But how do I know you can be trusted?"

" We'll unfreeze your bird." Mia, Alex, and Ryan fired a stream of fire at the Frozen bird and melted him. The ice turned to water, then steam, then took the shape of a falcon. Kazeha flew over to Asigit and made a happy cooing noise.

" Would you like to come to the Guild?" asked Mia.

" Guild?"

" The Magic Guild of Vane. You turned your falcon in to what is now right?" Asigit nodded.

" You have a lot of potential."

" Ah, sure I guess. But what about the temple? I promised my dad I protect it!" The mages huddled then broke apart.

" We could permanently sink the temple so no one could get to it." Said Mia.

" Oh,...ok. As long as no one can get to it." Said Asigit. Mia told everyone to leave, when they did, except Ryan, he refused, Mia started chanting.

Outside the Temple

The Temple began sinking. Everyone was worried as to where their friends were when the figures cam out of the water.

"I used my Rock magic to sink the temple, then air magic to create a bubble so we could breathe." Mia explained before they could ask. The she turned to Asigit and gave him directions to the Guild. "Asigit, just tell them, Mia Asua sent you and you wouldn't have a problem."

" Thanks, Actually, I didn't really like being a temple guard. But it was what my family wanted, and I didn't know anything else. Come one Kazeha, let's go." Asigit jumped on Kazeha's back.

" Oh, I almost forgot." Asigit tossed Mia a necklace. It was stringed with Sapphires and had a blue diamond at the center. " My way of saying thanks." and they took off. Ryan helped Mia put it on.

" Beautiful." He said.

" It is isn't it?" Said Mia.

" I wasn't talking about the necklace." Said Ryan. Mia blushed.

" Shall we continue?" Said Zack.

I can't believe how long this one took. But I had a lot of fun writing it. Please Review.
