The Devil's Knighthood Chapter 24 Azado
A day after the near fatal incident, Zane still refused to let May out of his sight, not that she minded the attention.
" I don't think I have seen him this happy since he first came here." Said Hiro. Zane had an arm around May's waist and looked like he had found the most important thing in the world and wasn't going to let go any time soon.
" Love can completely change someone." Said Luica, looking Hiro right in the eye.
"Yes it can." Said Hiro as he reached up to stroke Lucia's cheek. She closed her eyes to savor the pleasure that hiro's touch gave her. Then she drew him in for a light kiss.
Vane Infirmary
Chimeran was making a small illusion like screen in his bed, to entertain himself. He had woken up early this morning, but the infirmary keeper insisted they he stay for the rest of the day to make sure. Amy had gotten an earful from the old Infirmary Keeper about messing with the magic of others. Chimeran was connected to his illusions so when Amy smashed his sphere, his illusions abruptly died and that caused a mental shock for the Illusionist.
' At least May and Zane hooked up.' He thought.
But Not all was well.
A Forest Near Vane
A girl with long brown hair, green eyes, wearing a grayish black dress, bowed before Shane.
" Did I pass?" She asked. A DKH member, with black hair and brown eyes spoke up.
" Of course not! That Mage still lives!" He said.
" Quiet Hasin, It is not your place to decide." Said Shane. Hasin bowed.
" Sorry Milord."
" Cadina, your test was to hack into the Illusionist's spell and make Fire User kill herself, although she still lives, If the Headboy hadn't shown up. She would be dead. So...... you're in." Cadina looked up and smiled.
" Thank you Lord Shane." She said. Shane brought her to her feet.
" Welcome to the Devil's Knighthood." He said. Then all three of them disappeared.
With the Traveling Mages
" Are we there yet?" asked Zack. Ali was about to soundproof the area around him when Laura called out.
" Yes!" Before them was the entrance to Azado.
" Finally, now we wouldn't have to listen to Zack's endless questions." Said Alex.
" Told you he wasn't a quiet traveler." Said Ali. Monfar walked away from the group.
" See you guys later, I'm off to the Bar!" He called.(He's in his early 20's).
" Meet us at the Guild!" Called Mia. The rest of the group headed for the weapons and Armor shop. Ryan loaded up on charms that would protect him from negative statuses, like Paralysis.
" Now I can protect my Mia no matter what." He said winking at Mia, she giggled.
" Why aren't you getting charms?" asked Ali.
" Because I pity whoever tries to kidnap you, Mistress of Wind." Said Alex.
" Very funny, but what about protecting yourself?" She asked.
" Ever since I became an Adult Dragon, my body has been protected by a special energy my Aura gives off, I'm immune to such spells, unless someone super powerful like your mom or another dragon casts it." Said Alex. After they finished their shopping, they took a walk around town, Azado had changed a lot since the first time Hiro and the others were there. The people were happy and no longer looking over their shoulders wearing someone was watching them. There were schools and Infirmaries, all built and run by Althena's Chosen, and all free of charge. It had taken a while for the general public to trust the Chosen again after they had helped Zophar, but after two decades of selflessness and giving, even the most skeptic hater had regained faith in Althena's Chosen. One of them came up to the group, this one was dressed in a modest blue habit, that appeared to have been used before. This one was female, with long black hair and blue eyes.
" Welcome to the City of Azado, Travlers. Do any of you need healing from your journey, or maybe directions to an Inn?" She asked.
" Sure, do you know a good place to watch the sunset?" Asked Laura.
" Yes, Follow me. Oh, my Name's Keiko." She said. She lead them to a hill close to the docks.
" I come here every day to watch the setting Sun and thank Althena for letting me be alive so I can see it." Said Keiko. It was getting dark as the the sun slipped below the waters, so the traveling mages and Keiko sat down to watch the sun set.
Flashback
A younger Laura was setting on a hill just outside Horam, watching the Setting Sun make the sky burn. She felt so at peace here, at first she came because Master Wong said it would help her training, but now she came because she truly liked it. Suddenly she was all wet, she quickly turned around and saw boy with red hair, red eyes, wearing an outfit similar to her own, laughing on the ground, an empty water container next to him.
" Ryuu! You're such a jerk!" She yelled. Ryuu continued laughing.
" BLUE DRAGON KICK!" Laura yelled., then became surrounded by blue energy and flew toward Ryuu, who jumped up and landed behind Laura and then continued laughing.
" Why do you always bother me?" Laura demanded.
" Because it's so easy! You were just starring into space." Said Ryuu.
" I'm going to punch you so hard, you'll land on the Blue Star!" Said Laura running at Ryuu. He smirked and amused a battle stance.
" Come on." He said. Laura threw a punch, Ryuu grabbed her fist in mid spin and flipped her over, but before Laura hit the ground she kicked Ryuu's stomach and both of them landed on the ground.
" You always put a good fight Laura." Said Ryuu.
End Flashback
" Laura, Laura, SNAP OUT OF IT!" Said Zack. Laura made a small jump of surprise.
" Sorry, I was just remembering something." She said.
" Keiko! Keiko!" Someone else called. The group turned and saw a boy in the same kind of robe as Keiko, he had brown hair, blue eyes.
" That's Hikaru, he's another one of Althena's Chosen." Said Keiko.
" Your face is kinda red." Said Monfar.
" I'm not blushing!" Said Keiko.
" I didn't say you were, but thanks for telling us." Said Monfar. A momment later, he was on the ground with his eyes closed
" Nice Punch." Said Laura.
" She always did a mean punch, that's why I try to stay on here good side." Said Hikaru as he reached the top of the hill.
" Hi, Hikaru." Said Keiko, her cheeks were stained pink.
" Hi Keiko, it's time to head back to the temple." He said.
" Alright." The two walked back down the hill, Keiko's arm brushing lightly against Hikaru's.
" I hope they haven't take any vow of Chasity yet." Said Monfar, with a perverted grin. Everyone glared at him. " Oh yeah, I'm unconscious." Then he lay ed back down and closed his eyes.
Azado Temple
" You hear that?" Asked Hikaru as they entered the temple.
" What?" Asked Keiko.
" Something like chanting." Said Hikaru.
"Sort of." Said Keiko. They followed it to a stairway. " We're no allowed to go there." She said.
" Don't worry, I outrank you so If we get caught, You can just say I ordered you too." Said Hikaru, and gave a confident smile. Keiko felt herself melting.
" Ok." She said after a while. They went up the stairs and saw several high level priests around a six pointed star, chanting something they couldn't understand.
" I feel something, it's like..." Hikaru started.
" A distressed spirit signal." Keiko finished. They blushed.
" I think it's comming from over here." Said Hikaru. He walked over to a torch holder, and pulled it down, the wall next to it moved to reveal a secret passage.
" Are you going to go down there?" asked Keiko. Hikaru was already walking in, Keiko sighed before following him. Inside they saw a cell with the High Priest Blasie tied up and gaged.
" Father Blasie! What are you doing here?" asked Keiko. Blasie was close enough to the entrance so that they could removed the gag with opening the cell.
" It's a shape shifter! He kidnapped me and put me here. He wants to revive the flame that delivers Althena's Judgment!" He said. Keiko and Hikaru gasped. They had heard stories of Althena's Judgment, that the Old Chosen used an evil flame to terrorize the people of Azado.
" What are you doing here?" asked a voice. Keiko and Hikaru froze then turned around. Behind them, stood an exact replica of High Priest Blaise.
" We know you're a shape shifter and when we tell everyone else, you'll be history!" Said Hikaru.
" That's what you think." Said the Shape Shifter, and snapped his fingers. The room became filled with monsters that pounced on the two, Hikaru sent beams of light from his hands that vaporized many demons, Keiko pulled a long Dagger out of habit and began slashing at anything that came in range, but eventually a demon got the drop on him and knocked him down while others pinned him down.
" Hikaru!" Keiko shouted and tried to get to him but other demons pinned her down as well. Minutes later, they were tied up and put in the cell with Blasie.
" I would kill you now, but you Hikaru, are quite a prodigy. Such immense magical power and Spiritual energy too. It would be a shame to waste talent. On the other hand, your friend isn't useful to me at all, she'd be quite a burden, and her family would worry too, I should just get rid of her right now." Said the Shape Shifter, and turned one of his hands into a sword.
" Wait! What do you want?" Asked Hikaru.
" I want you to obey my every command, you will be quite useful." Said the Shape Shifter.
" What exactly would I do? Grunt Work?" Asked Hikaru.
" Sometimes, but mostly for influencing new recruits, you're well liked in Azado, I would be able to get a lot more recruits with your help."
" I'm sorry but, I can't help you." Said Hikaru. A beam of light suddenly emerged from the hallway and covered them. " Because we won't be around." He began to smirk. Then all three captives vanished.
" FIND THEM NOW!" ordered the Shape Shifter. Hikaru, Keiko and Blasie reappeared in Blasie's house.
" How'd you do that?" Asked Keiko. " You were out of Magic Power, I could feel it."
" That wasn't Magic Power, It was Spirit Energy." Said Hikaru " I set portals to get to other places around Azado faster, I sue Spirit Energy to use these Portals. " Suddenly the door opened and the Traveling Mages burst in, then saw the three bound ones on the floor, and quickly untied them.
" We felt a strange energy and we came to find out what it was." Said Alex.
" It was Spirit Energy." Said Ryan.
" You know about Spirit Energy?" asked Hikaru.
" Yeah, Say Hi Spirit." Said Ryan, his amulet glowed and Spirit appeared.
" Hi." He said.
" I got my own Spirit too, actually she belonged to my Cousin, but she....won't be needing her anymore." Said Hikaru. Something beneath Hikaru's chest glowed and a female spirit appeared. She had shoulder length brown hair, green eyes and wore a Pink Kimono with a dark Pink Obi.
" Hello, I'm Kiyosshi."
" There will be time for introductions later. We have to stop that impostor before he revives Althena's Judgment."
I had a lot of fun writing this chapter. It's more fluffy then action because I felt like writing fluff. Don't worry more action next chapter. Please Review.
