Chapter 29: We walk to the dawn!

Many many years ago, a Blade was forged between the Realms of Heaven and Hell... It was forged here on the surface we call home... Earth.

The Blade was made from the material that no one dared to even try to make... Some that would risk ones life... But one man did. They called him mad, but he did it... The Ultimate Blade is what he would name the weapon.

Only one who has earned the Title of Hero from Fate and Destiny may wield the Blade...

Where did that Blade go? Who wielded it? The Continent held those secrets, but many Heroes that are entitled by Fate and Destiny wielded that very blade to battle... Ones with different forms.

The Blade took the shape of any weapon made for that Hero...

Those Heroes were of many kind of different personalities... Races and Gender. It didn't matter... It was written in the Hero's blood that he/she would go down in History.

However, there is a price... If the Wielder were to die in battle, their very soul is housed in the blade to pass on the knowledge of those said Heroes. They accepted that fate... To help decendents in their time of need.

How do I know this?

"DON'T DO SOMETHING SO FOOLISH!"

"MICHEAL! OWEN! TAKE IT!

"NO! YOU CAN'T!"

"CAAAASSSTOOORRR!-!-!-!"

"Castor is right here! He's fighting with me!"

"DID YOU PLAN THIS, MICHEAL?!"

"YOU'RE GODDAMN RIGHT I DID! FROM THE VERY BEGINNING!"

"DAMN YOU, MICHEAL! I'LL SEND YOU TO HELL!"

"FUNNY! CAUSE THAT'S WHERE I'M SENDING YOUR ASS TO!"

I knew two people that wielded that very same Blade... I fought by their side. I know their Legend.

Cattleya placed her glasses back on, remembering what had happened all those years ago. Mirim was on the edge of her seat the entire time, just hearing it made her feel excited. "Wait, who was the man that made the Sword?"

Mirim's answer to her questions caused her eyes to widen at this. "My Teacher..." The mother answered her...

"LOOK OUT!" Shizuka shouted with Naomi turning around quickly as she blocked an attack from the stranger! She quickly countered it by punching him in the gut with all her might and a huge flame attack with her gauntlets! The explosion pushed her back, sliding on the ground close to Tomoe.

Everyone got ready for battle, seeing the person up close... He looked like a foreigner from a different country. He was dressed like a model or something from where Naomi was from! The man had slick back black hair with a strand only being out, pale skin that seemed transparent, wearing a headband that had a zebra pattern to it, a flamboyant looking open black shirt that showed his chest, but did not cover his slim tone stomach. His arms were covered in vambraces that had throwing knives attached to it. His lower body was covered in brown spandex with a loose fitting belt on his waist, and a pair of boots that looked like they were for combat. 'What the hell? Is this guy from this World's version of Italy?!'

In his hands however was something they didn't expect to see... It was a blade, but no the ones they were familiar with. They were falchions swords! One that are used in battle that makes the wielder dance around his opponents!

Everyone tensed at this, seeing him just smiling with a calm stance. "Allow me to introduce myself... I am Giovanni Avola. A pleasure to meet you."

"Were you the one who summoned those demons?" Irma unsheathed her blades as she got ready for a fight.

"Why, yes I am!" He was saying it with pride? "Now then, I guess it's time I don't hold back..." He came in great pace, with the girls trying to keep up with that speed! Naomi punched the ground hard enough for a boulder to appear as she kicked it straight at him, but he danced through the giant piece of Earth with his blades!

A wave of holy energy came right at him, causing the attacker great pain as he flew back! Where did it come from you ask?! Why it was none other than the beautiful mother, Melpha! Allow me to explain! The energy for her Holy Pose channels throughout her body, however, not only can she channel this amazing power but also use it with other weapons such as her flail! When spun at an incredible speed it's like a rollar coaster, as such when it comes to a complete sudden stop the energy will be launched!

"There's more where that came from!" Melpha shouted at him. Nanael quickly came to her side as the two started building up their energy. "Buy us some time! This will take a while!"

"Right!" Nyx said channeling her inner fire! Naomi made a quick dash with Tomoe and Shizuka at her side!

"Lady Tomoe! I'm all yours!" Shizuka said transforming herself in a nodachi! The Warrior Priestess gripped the sword tightly as she can while purple lightning was surrounding the sword!

The two came right at Giovanni as he slowly stood up! Those eyes of his saw the way they were coming at him with enough power, but he didn't give up. He jumped from his spot and dived right in at them! He crashed landed between as it made their footing off balance with a chance to strike! He used his opprotunity to aim for their necks! "Good bye!"

"NOT LIKELY!" Shizuka shouted as she reverted back to normal, using her arms as scythe blades! She was closed together like they were scissors to trap him in her grip!

The moment to strike was now! "Take this!" Nyx shouted! "Phoenix Charge!" In a bright instant, the Mother who carried a flame in her heart used a high magic attack in the shape of the legendary bird!

Giovanni witnessed the beauty that would hurt him badly, yet he didn't give up! The sword dancer pushed Shizuka back with great force as he backflipped from the powerful fire attack. However, this left the other three in the way of her attack! Naomi thought quick as she fought a blast of fire at it for it to explode with the sword dancer taking damage from the blast, but not the other three as Tomoe slashed at the fire to break it apart from hurting them!

Amusement came across his face, seeing how much fight these people had caused his blood to shout through his veins! This was his entertainment! "SUCH A RUSH!" He said before something bright appeared! The blade's edge gained a light around it that blinded their vision for a second!

"Look out!" Nyx shouted to see what was happening! Giovanni had his swords... Mixed in with his arms. His body was covered in thick layer of heavy armor that looked just demonic to the eye... His face still showed witha crooked smile on his face... "Oh my God..."

"TIME TO DIE!" His face twisted and turned into a reptilian like structure with a metal visor covering it's eyes.

The Demon Knight charged forward with great speed at the upcoming group, only to be stopped by Naomi with her Ignis Gauntlets! Her fist made great connection to his head as he was sent flying into a large boulder! "I don't think so!" Was all she said before getting in a battle stance!

"YOU BITCH!" With a roar of bloodlust, he came in with his blades slashing the air at an incredible speed!

"SPIN!" Was all she said before charging in at the knight! Naomi put all her might into using her body to spin as she dodged every slash that came out at her, with some strands of hair being cut and her some of her clothes too. She managed to get close enough to punch right in the gut so hard that fire started bursting out of his back! "Can't keep up with me?"

As he was about to slash right at her, something pierced through his armor! He looked to see throwing knives until two stabbed through his visor as they pierced his eyes! "Did you forget about me?" Irma smirked as she came with her incredible speed and her swords slashing through his legs! "Okay you two now!"

"DAMN IT! I'LL KILL YOU ALL!" By pulling out the knives from his eyes, his vision came back to see something!

What the demon saw was something extrodinary! Melpha layed on the ground with Nanael laying on top of her as Melpha used her flail to rub between their maidenhoods! What you see may think of something else, but look closely and you will see that their Holy Energy is channeling together! "Holy Pose," They kissed each other with a light blinding them all as they moaned loudly for the next part! "Redemption!"

The light fired right at Giovanni, causing his armor to tear off! He reached to them, but it wasn't good enough... The demon knight had been destroyed into thousand of pieces that quickly evaporated into nothing...

"He's done..." Irma sheathed her blade with a sigh of relief. "We can finally keep on walking."

"It's better if we camp out though." Nanael said as she got off of Melpha, dusting off her red dress. "We're all exhausted..."

Tomoe and Shizuka walked up to the group with their arms hung down. "I'm am quite exhausted..."

"I can just pass out on this dirt road right now!" Shizuka did just that... The kunoichi layed on the ground in the fetal position as a cat-like smile appeared on her face. Everyone could've done what she was doing, but played it smart instead... Nyx got the fire ready with the others making sleeping beds out of non-poisonous flora from their surroundings...

Naomi layed on her bed as she looked up at all the stars... "It's a beautiful view..." Nyx broke her train of thought. "Naomi, did your home have more stars?"

"Oh uh, no." She answered. "I lived in the city, so all the lights from the buildings blocked it out..."

"Really? That's strange." The flame user pondered this for a while. "Was it really that much different from here?"

Naomi only chuckled to that question. "Yeah it was." She smiled, but it became sad... "It was..."

"You miss it?"

"I've been gone for 4 years..." All of the memories began pouring inside her mind. "My parents must be worried not to mention the fact that I left some of my stuff in my apartment."

"Apartment?" Nyx questioned on what that was.

"An apartment building is like an inn."

"Oh! I see!" She smiled. "Your home sounds nice... I wish to visit your home some day." The two just shared a moment with each other before falling soundly asleep... However, Naomi could not help but wonder how everyone is doing back home. Yet, after everything that has happened now... This world was her home... And she loved it. Her daughter, her family... Juan...

Nyx was smiling to herself, thinking of all the wonderful places... And how Juan was doing. "I wonder if he met any other girls yet?" She asked herself, before thinking. "I'm happy he's fulfilling our promise..." The Flame User fell asleep with a cute yawn.

Naomi couldn't help but smile with a clenched fist. "If I see you with another woman like last time..." Whispering to herself as she punched the ground. "I'm gonna beat you down..."

Juan sneezed with a very cold sensation running through his spine! "Oh man! I think I just felt the presence of my death!" The Rebel shook in fear with The Behemoth tilting his head in confusion. "Uh, nothing." He told him. "Let's go Big Guy. Alleyne and Seto aren't getting any younger..." Then he gave that sentence a thought. "Well... They are elves... So they pretty much stay young for like a long time..."

Their walk was arubtly stopped by something! A group of throwing rocks came flying at them with Juan just simply swatting them away. "Come on out." He said to whoever was there, before they showed themselves. "What the-?"

"Hell?" Branwen asked herself as she saw the vast desert. The strange part were the trees that grew. "Quite strange, don't you think so, Usher?" Her Dragon Mount only gave a growl for a response. "That is true... The Contient is a strange place." She crossed her arms and closed her eyes, thinking deeply. "But it shouldn't be this strange."

All of a sudden, lights appeared in front of the two with the Dragon giving a grunt of surprise, with Branwen looking at the beauty of New Amara. She heard rumors about it, but never expected it to be this beautiful. The flames on the torches that lit the town were in a rainbow of different colors to give it one beautiful look!

Those eyes of her saw that everyone was dancing, music playing, food being passed out... A celebration? Strange... The dances were men and woman dancing together, along with the children, as well with exotic dancers everywhere who were shaking their bust and rears in a rhythm.

They flew up higher to not cause a stir of panic amongst the civilians... There beyond the gate was a palace of pleasure... Menace's Palace looked rebuilt and remade, yet to Branwen she did not know what happened some time ago.

The Queen right now... Was quite busy with something. "MILADY! W-Wait! I'm almost- AH!"

"It's fine... Just fall in my arms." A loud moan of a woman went through the walls of the palace... "See? Now you're all clean!" She smiled at her servant who hugged her Queen.

"Thank you thank you thank you!" The Queen patted her head to comfort her, knowing full well that she was a new servant here. "I'm so happy to bathe with you!"

"You're quite welcome."

They both exited the bath with the Queen wearing her clothes. Her feet guided her to the thrown of the Palace where she sat and layed. "Milady, you're son is awake."

"Yay!" Menace quickly left her thrown with her legs running to her son's room! "I'm here!" She opened the door to the infant, hearing him coo and laugh from his crib. Aaru layed in his crib with the guards playing with him.

Their attention focused on the Queen as they shaped up. "My Queen! We're very sorry!" One of them said to her.

"It's okay, but how is my little bundle of joy?" She asked who giggled. "The Queen picked him up to see he was happier than ever! With a snap of her fingers, a glass of milk with a lid for the child to suck on. "He's looks like his father everyday." She exited out the room with the guards following her.

Everything was swell as it should be, the people in town were enjoying the festival. "Milady, the people are expecting you." Setra flew to her side. "They won't start the fireworks without your presence!"

"I know, I know. Give me a minute, I promise we will be there!" Before they could even enter the boat... Something appeared at the docks. Menace saw the beast as it stayed on the ground with a figure coming off the beast.

Guards quickly took their defense position. "Please, you may drop your weapons! I bring information to the Queen." They saw Branwen in her armor, not holding any weapon in her hands as the sword she wielded was sheathed. "I am Branwen, A Descendant of the Dragons. One with a noble spirit."

"I've heard of you." With a snap of her fingers, the servants brought the warrior a drink of her delicious wine. "Care for a drink?" They held bronze jars filled with wine. "You and your Dragon must be thirsty."

"Thank you. I would enjoy it." One more servant came in as she stripped off her golden top as she gave a good view of her bare breast for the people to see. She pressed her large assets together before the one holding the jar poured the wine onto her breast that made a 'cup' with a straw being handded to the Warrior. "Uh! Um, this is, uh..." Her face was bright red at the sight. "T-Thank you!"

Branwen felt so foreign to the culture that she felt awkward! She began to sip the wine on the breast... As she open her eyes to see nothing was left, she saw that the girl was breathing erotically. The Warrior dropped her straw as she backed away, trying to get all the blush off her face.

"Now then, what was it you needed?" Menace asked casually, before seeing something that was a letter in her waist belt. Menace took the letter from her as she opened the letter slowly... "W-Wha?!" She was shocked.

"Is something wrong?"

"It's from my Husband!" She smiled brightly with stars in her eyes! She brought it closer as she read to her hearts content.

Menace...

By the time you get this, I'm possibly travelling the Continent right now. Claudette has been acting strange, not her usual self... I'm travelling from village to village to help anyone in need. I hope you understand why I haven't been to the Kingdom to visit you and Aaru. I'm sorry... Hopefully you're in healthy condition thanks to the Holy Ashes we used, and your abilities should be more powerful than your Curse abilities.

I pray that we meet and fight side by side again... Until that day, please be safe... Not just for me. But for everyone else too. Your beautiful heart is what makes me want to protect you, our son, and all the people in this world...

I love you, Menace. No matter how many times I say it, I love you so much that I want to see you again.

-Juan

The Queen of Amara placed the letter inbetween her breast... As it looked like she was getting off just from it's touch. "He just knows what to say~!" She said with her hips wiggling side to side. Branwen saw hearts floating above her head... Wow. "Oh that reminds me!"

"W-What?" The Warrior was surprised to see she was coming back to reality.

"Are you one of the new girls Juan is marrying?!" She smiled getting close to her.

"W-Well I, Uh-"

"PERFECT!" She hugged the Dragon Warrior. "My Honey Husband is so naughty~! Welcome to the family!"

"Wha-" Before she could speak, Branwen's lips were captured by the Queen. She felt her tongue penetrating her mouth as it played with her own tongue. When they stopped, a string of saliva fell from their lips. "T-That was-!" She slapped herself in the face. "B-Before anything else, I must ask you something!" Menace was all ears. "The festival that is happening... What does it mean?"

Menace held her son close, smiling at him. "It's the Festival of the Sand Guardians." She answered. "In Amara, we do this festival once a year so the Sand Guardians will watch over the desert... But, for how long I've been gone, I have a lot of work to do."

"I see." She looked at the lights from the festival. "Do you know that there are trees out in the desert?"

"What?!" She yelled loudly with Aaru about to cry. "Oh no! I'm sorry Sweety." The Mother/Queen tried her best to calm down her son. Her eyes looked at the warrior with a glare that seemed to mean business. "Did they look wilted and dead?" She was given a nod. "Dammit!" She bit the tip of thumb, thinking of a plan of attack. No one in the city was allowed to be hurt, or killed under her watch...

Branwen saw how she was thinking carefully about this. "Milady! We need to get to the festival right now!" Setra came in as he had long list in his mouth as he talked.

"R-Right!" She stopped thinking before turning to the Warrior. "Branwen, I would like it if you stayed with us for the festival."

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Menace only nodded. "I hope you don't mind Usher." She turned around to see her dragon drinking the fresh water of the palace. "You sure the people won't mind a live dragon at the festival?"

"Only just surprised is all." She reassured her, as the two hopped onto a boat with Usher flying behind them gently. "Let's have a good time before we ever fight." When they arrived, body guards led the two with Usher following his master behind them as it caused many people to stare in awe.

The people of Amara clapped as their Queen stood on the center stage. She waved at them all, hearing the cheers of her people... It brought pure happiness to her. "People of the New Amara Kingdom, I thank you for celebrating The Festival of the Sand Guardians... As we are a Kingdom of peace, love, and honor." They clapped to her speech. "Sadly, My Husband, Our King, is not here nor are my Sisters in Arms also my other Wives like they were last year and the year before that and the year before that." The atmosphere became depression that had Menace act fast. "But do not be sad! My Husband is fighting a great battle to protect not only us, but everyone in the Continent! During this Festival, let us pray that he has a safe return!"

"YEAH!" They all said at the same time, causing the young Prince of the New Amara to make a sound of excitement.

Menace held him in a way so that he was facing everyone, gently grabbing his arms as she used it to wave at everyone who just loved the sight of it. She stopped before speaking once again. "Now then! Let the festival begin!"

Fireworks were set off from the buildings before exploding into the night sky... The people danced as they should, eating with everyone else as the children were playing a ball game that required feet only instead of hands.

Branwen sat with Menace at a table as they were eating together, with one of the guards feeding the young Prince. "This Festival is a riot!" Setra smiled as he was eating some of the food. "I must say Milady, just like every other year, it's a HUGE success!"

"Quite!" She said before eating a piece of cut meat. "However..."

"What is wrong, Milady?"

"There's a problem in the desert." Branwen answered the Staff as he was confused. "Wilted trees appeared outside the desert..."

"And that means the Swamp Witch is trying to take over the city once again." Menace tighten her fist. "Branwen, how many did you see?"

"I lost count... But I think somewhere over... 25 I think." That's gonna be a bit of trouble for her, with that many demons she's gonna be exhausted when the sun hits the horizon. "I will help you in anyway I can."

Menace looked at the Dragon Warrior with a smile. "Thank you, Branwen. I truly do welome you to our family."

"It is an Honor to fight by your side."

The two enjoyed the festival, as everything was dying down with the people falling asleep. Yet in the deep sleep, lays awake the two Beautiful Warriors that will put up the fight against an army of demons.

Setra flew his Queen's side. "Are you ready, Milady?!"

"I can say for sure that we're ready." Menace answered calmly with the Dragon Warrior only nodding to that. Branwen's dragon roared into the desert as waves of sand were form from its powerful shout. "Here they come!"

The trees began to shake, wobble and seemed distorted until they turned into portals! Many demons took form of various ways. The undead souls marched on through, as Hellhounds were by their sides! Vulture like spirits flew from the portal as they circled the area to show where someone or something may die. "Do you regret fighting by my side?" Menace asked Branwen.

"We were kept in prison cells by the Swamp Witch..." She unsheathed her blade with a strong energy building up inside her. "Time I let out some anger!"

The two charged in at the army with Usher and Setra by their side! In a powerful scream that unleashed their proud souls, they combined the power to unleash something extrodinary!

Usher was covered in the aura gaining more power! This was it! Menace and Branwen jumped high in the air as they were about to send out their attack!

"HOLY DRAGON BLAST!"

Usher in his aura turned into a pure energy Dragon as it swallowed the two warriors, crashing down in the ground! A large wave of their combined power sended the skeletons away from their position! Their bones scattered around the ground. The Hellhounds dug into the sands quickly before they were able to be hurt as the Vulture Demons fly higher in the air to avoid it! When the aura disappeared, the bones began to shake until they reformed in an army of skeletons again!

Menace used Setra as a club, as she kicked three skeleton heads off their bodies! She used those skulls as golf balls as she used Setra to swipe at them, causing the heads to recochet off all the others until they shattered!

The Queen of Amara witnessed though that they would only reform to become whole once again. "Tch! More troublesome than I thought!"

"Are you alright, Milady?"

"Never better!" She shouted with a stern voice!

Branwen slashed many in her way. Hell hounds charged straight at the Dragon Warrior before she backflipped high in the air to avoid their attack, but came down hard as she slashed down two of them in half! Her body quickly turned around to see the army of skeletons charging at her, but a large tail whipped them away to see Usher breathing fire to char their bones! The Dragon Warrior smirked at the idea! With enough power, she threw her blade in a spinning motion that seemed like a boomerang! It cut through all the chared skeletons as they became nothing but ashes now.

The blade came back in her hand, but it wasn't over... Not by a long shot. Menace came to Branwen, seeing the other 97 percent of the army. "This isn't good... There's just too much."

"We'll be fully exhausted as time goes on..." Branwen knew that was going to happen. They were fighters yes, but even they have their own limits. "Dammit...!" Usher even knew that it was a fight they couldn't win just by themselves.

However, that doesn't mean they should give up! They charged right to the army, until a loud sound roared through the sand! Waves form from different sounds... Waves from The North, The South, The East and The West... Usher looked around like he was freaking out, but it seems he was paying attention to something. "What is that?!"

Menace knew what these were... The waves came in different patterns like it was a conversation between... "The Guardians..."

The sand shook violently, as the waves kept forming into different patterns. From the North... Something was digging itself up from the ground, as it had a large ear-like structure to it. When it digged itself fully out, the way it looked was majestic. It's body structure seemed to be of the earth, an obsidian body that had limbs and all. It's ears were big as sand was raining from them, showing a 'fur' like substance that was likely grass that grew on it's ancient body. The 'fur' was everywhere on it's body, with cyan blue sigils appearing everywhere on it's body... The eyes were black as a void, until they lit up a cyan color...

The one from the South was under the sand as a curvy trail was made... It finally rose from the sand to show it's snake like body. It's stone and obsidian body was smooth with little of moss appearing on it's body. The Guardian opened it's mouth as it's stone fangs appeared out with a 'Shhhnnnk' like sound. It's eyes glew a bright red with a hiss from it's tongue!

The one from the East rose from the sand as its wing-like limps stretched out into the open air. Flapping them caused a storm to surround himself in the sand as the rest of its body started emerging from the desert! The head wore a helmet that seemed to be made of stone, while the rest of its body was completely uncovered. A large scar was on its chest with a green light glowing from the it. It's feet revealed sharp stone talons, as it's feathers were made of moss, grass and stone.

The one from the West was the most intimidating of them all! The sand began to rise high into the sky, until arms bursted from the hill! With it's raw strength, the last one roared into the sky as the sand was blasted away to reveal his stone body! The human like being had a large skull of what seemed to be a wolf or dog to cover it's head... A cowl made of moss covered his head but failed to cover large horns coming from its head. The body was big was just like others, being covered in obisidian, stone, grass and moss. It stood up on it's hind legs that seemed similiar to a bull... Every step it took shook the earth under him...

All four of these walked into the center to see the Swamp Witch's army! However, they came to stop them! Their eyes gave an eerie glow, with the clouds morphing together! Soon lighting dropped from the sky and onto the horde of demons as they blew to bits!

Everytime they would form back, the lighting struck down onto them to destroy them... After they were all destroyed... All four of them let out a roar to the Heavens as the cloud departed with the portal fading along with the pile of demons...

A battle to great for humans... It could only be given to Divine beings.

The Guardians began to rest as their bodies became lighter... Their eyes dimming until they were nothing but statues near the gates of Amara...

Both Beautiful Warriors stood there on the sands of Amara as they were just stunned at the witness of such a majestic scene before them. Setra was too stunned to talk from this...

"Amazing..." Was all Menace could muster from her lack of words.

However, some were still too energetic to be amazed by anything as of the moment. "One! Two! Three!" A morning training, such as swordsmanship is quite the worthy excercise. Annelotte is swinging her blade in the most excellent of fashion, with such grace and strength that it shows that the Princess has come a long way. In her vision stood a stone that looked unbreakable to the naked eye, yet with no ounce of force or sweat- the stone was cut in two.

Luna Luna was bathing in the sun. The light from it filled her body with nutrients like she was a fresh plant. To her, this was training. However, Yuit would growl considering she only thought that she was just being lazy.

Everyone had their own style of training, like Vante for example. The automaton was getting a maintenace update by the Little Elf with the help of Rana who created different parts for her.

Sainyang and Tarnyang would try different patterns of attacks- considering the collars they wore is what keeps them together. They wanted to head to the disginated place that was in the letter, but not now... For they needed all the time they needed just for the fight that would commence.

However, some others would take time to relax and calm down in the house. One of those was Liliana who sat in an empty forge to sharpen her blade. She wore nothing but her underwear and little starfish covering her nipples. "It's almost done." A smile appeared on her face. The door opened to show Airi carrying a cup of tea. "Oh, it you."

"Did I interrupt you?" Her question was only answered by shaking her head. "I brought you something."

"Thank you." Her hand gently lifted the tea off the plate as she took a swig of it. "Nice brewed."

Airi just stood there at the pirate captain, seeing at how she was relaxing right now. "You're no longer a servant..."

Her lips parted from the cup with a frown on her face... "That is correct." She said before drinking the tea again. "Are we enemies now?" She asked before going back to work. "Thank you for the tea."

The Wraith simply left the room before looking back at the Pirate as she was modifying her equipment... Were they enemies? That was a question that Airi had locked in her mind. She wasn't in the Swamp Witch's spell, because she's always been very faithful to her master... However, if she were to side with her... What about Rana? That was something she didn't want something to happen. She loved Rana so much and he loved her.

He told her that no matter what she was... He was his angel. The moment when they spend Christmas together was very magical to her... But she had to pick a side. Loyalty or Love?

The Wraith had to clear her head first before heading out to see Annelotte practicing. "Lady Annelotte..." She got her attention. "If you wish, the bath is ready." She was only given a nod from her as Airi was devestated from it. She still holds hatred to her to the point that Airi couldn't blame her. She walked back into the house to clean the dishes with Owen making dinner. "Owen."

"Yo! Evening, Airi!" He said gutting a fish and checking to see of there were any bones. "Did you get and Rana get the flour?"

"Yes, we sure did." She smiled at him. "Fillet fish this night?"

"You know it!" The Warrior/Father gave her a hearty grin. That's right... Them too. Owen and Cattleya welcomed the girl with open arms. They didn't care what she did... She was already part of the family... "Whoa, you okay?"

"Huh?" She was confused she felt something dripped from her chin... She traced it back to her eyes. "Why am I crying?" She asked herself before Owen hugged her.

He embraced her like a father protecting his children. They stopped to face each other eye to eye as Owen placed his hands on her shoulders. "Airi, you are an important member of this house just like us... You are my family. A daughter that I came to love."

Without any warning, she hugged him tightly as she cried into his chest as the man patted her head... This was her family... And she would intend to keep it that way forever more.

Annelotte saw the scene as she passed by... But continued to keep walking as she entered the bath... WIth more people inside it. "Oh! Hey Big Bro!" Yuit announced, but was was used as a spring board by Luna Luna! "HEY!"

The Dancer glomped her as she groped her breast. "Oh! There's so big and Squishy!" She commented as she started motorboating her.

"AH! D-Don't! Stop! Please!"

"Don't stop, please? YOU GOT IT!" Luna Luna did the one thing that caused Yuit to snarl in anger, Mirim blushing brighty, the Sisters blocking each others view and Liliana looking away... Luna Luna began kissing her as her tongue played with hers as her fingers traveled down from her breast... To her -

"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Yuit said as she groped the Dancer which caused her to moan and stop from toying with Annelotte... This was gonna be a long bath...

But some others were hearing the sounds... Cattleya was in the kitchen as she helped make dinner with her husband. "Lots of excitement."

"Just wait til' we got in there together." He said hugging her from her waist that caused her to blush and kiss him. "Or we could go at it... On the table."

"Owen!" She was shocked by that... But kissed him deeply. "Rana and Airi are out to get some more things. We got about an 30 minutes."

"Sold." He picked her up by her legs before he slammed her on the table that caused her to moan in delight as they undressed themselves before getting intimate... Yep.

1 HOUR LATER

Annelotte sat in her room with everyone else talking or arguing about something. Tarnyang was doing Sainyang's hair, making sure it wasn't a tangled mess. Yuit was yelling to a bored Luna Luna about modesty this and respect that... She was interested in the slightest. Mirim was with Vante as they were talking out so that the automaton could get used to her new voice.

Liliana however was resting in her bed as she was fast asleep peacefully even though Mirim was lecturing the Dancer, until they were all exhausted and passed out on their beds... However, Annelotte could not sleep... Many thoughts were travelling through her head as of the moment...

It was so bad that she walked out of the room, not before she put on her clothes and her sword. "Now that Juan is not around... Everyone is counting on me..." She thought about what happened in the baths...

FLASHBACK

"Where did Juan go anyway?!" Yuit asked in frustration.

"Well where ever he went, we need a new leader." Luna Luna told as everyone agreed. "And I think we can all agree that Big Sis Annie should be it!"

She was correct... Everyone nodded to that.

FLASHBACK END

"What am I supposed to do?" She asked herself, feeling pressure beyond relief. "I feel so lost, even when I shouldn't be." Her legs just guided her into the forest as she was getting tired before lying a piles of something super comfy... It felt like a soft bed. "Dang..." The Swordswoman passed out... Not before the pile moved and carried her... On top of a moving cart. Where would she go?

We know that she will cross path with a strong warrior... One who won the previous Queen's Blade competition. "Now than... I should be close by now." She said walking through a large valley. "The more I get close, the more I feel a burning sensation of satisfaction... But why?" She trailed her hands to her cheek to her left breast... Looking at the ring on her finger... "It can't be... Unless... Juan." She was now more determined than ever at this moment. "I'm coming! Just hold on!" The Warrior began picking up the pace with a dash through the valley.

Everything in the next few days shall pick a choice of either a way of hope, or a path of dread. What shall happen? Who knows?

OH MY GOD! I DID IT!

Hey guys sorry I haven't been on for a good total of like 3 months and I know I'm such a jerk right now.

Other than that, summer was fun but I'm job hunting right now. It's a pain too because I haven't had anyone accept my applications. It sucks really.

But because of some others things too that my family won't stop yelling at me for being unemployed which I'm trying super hard... Still not going to college.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed everything you read so far and don't worry I'm here to stay!

So until then... LATERS!
