Chapter 7

Later that day…

"Louise!" shouted Kirche as she waved to Louise who sat on the porch of her house. Kirche ran over to the house before crashing into the barrier. "Ow…"

"Kirche you can't come in yet, let Agnes put a rune on you," said Louise. Kirche complied and by the time they had gotten the rune on her several others had arrived. By the time everyone could get inside the whole group was there.

"Are you okay, Louise?" asked Irukuku as she smothered Louise in a concerned hug. Louise couldn't reply because she was being smothered but simply waved her arms around in panic as she suffocated.

"Where is Saito?" asked Tabitha, calmly, after noticing his absence.

"Saito is upstairs sleeping. After the intruder left he stayed up all night watching over us. He just managed to relax and go to bed a couple of hours ago," said Siesta in a calm voice. Louise in the background was slumped on the ground, her soul slithering out of her body, after Irukuku had suffocated her.

"Ah, Saito must be very tired," said Tiffa who appeared out of nowhere.

"Yes, Saito looked over us all night without faltering. It was very manly to try and protect his favorite girl," said Siesta with a smirk that she tried to cover. Louise appeared behind her, alive again, with evil eyes.

"Who are you talking about?" asked Louise with a devilish voice.

"I don't know what you mean, Mrs. Vallière," said Siesta, innocently.

Louise and Siesta were pestering each other for a few minutes before they heard a loud crash that sounded like hundreds of windows breaking. They all immediately turned towards the mansion but saw no windows broken. Tabitha was the only one who realized that it wasn't the mansion and continued to stare at the barrier which was falling apart like shattered glass.

"The barrier…" said Tabitha, calmly, as she pointed towards it. Everyone stared at it with shock and Louise was shocked. Agnes immediately ran over to protect Her Highness and the Elemental Siblings, which were asked to become royal guards/assassins, ran over to protect Tabitha.

"UWAHHHHH!" shouted a voice from the mansion.

"Saito!" shouted Louise and Siesta before they ran inside the mansion. They were followed by the rest of the group and all entered the main hall.

Louise, Julio, Kirche, Tabitha and the elemental sisters, and Tiffa all ran upstairs to Saito's room, armed, to help him.

When Louise opened the door they found Saito lying on the bed with a hooded figure standing over him and a sword pierced through his left shoulder.

"Saito!" shouted Louise as she pointed her wand at the figure.

"Fireball!" shouted Kirche as she shot a fireball at the figure who pulled their cloak around them self. The attack hit the cloak and it was absorbed and disappeared.

"EXPLOSION!" shouted Louise before she blasted the figure off of Saito. They hit the wall and fell to the ground before shaking their head and bouncing to their feet.

"Filthy mage! How dare you attack me!" shouted the figure in an angry voice. Louise reacted to the voice but had no time to ask anything before Agnes pointed a gun at the figure.

"Hold where you are and drop your weapons," commanded Agnes.

The figure paused for a moment. The only part of their face that could be seen was their mouth and they just suddenly began to grin wildly. They moved into their cloak and pulled out a small seed which glowed in their gloved fingertips. They tossed it to the ground and a large gargoyle was born out of it.

"W-What!?" shouted Tiffa after remembering that that was the same creature from Romalia.

Agnes shot at it immediately but by the time it dissolved away the hooded figure was gone and Saito was bleeding into the bed.

"Saito!" shouted Louise while she ran over to the bedside.

"Ah…Louise," said Saito, weakly. The wound seemed to go all the way through his shoulder and the sheets were drenched in blood.

Tabitha and one of the elemental siblings ran over to him and began using water spells to stop the bleeding and seal up the wound, meanwhile everyone else searched the mansion and guarded Saito's room.

Louise sat next to Saito's bed after most of the people who came had left. It had been decided that after Saito was well enough to move they would be moved to the castle for better protection.

"Saito…" said Louise, worriedly, as she held his right hand. The blade had damaged his bone and tore up a chunk of muscle in his left shoulder so fighting and excessive movement were out of the question for Saito.

"Mrs. Vallière, you should really eat something. You haven't eaten since breakfast," said Siesta. It was already dinner time and Louise hadn't eaten or drunken anything.

"I'm okay…" said Louise in a hushed voice. Siesta walked over to her and set down a cup of tea on the nightstand.

"In case you want to drink something," said Siesta before bowing and leaving the room. Louise glanced at the tea before picking it up and taking a sip.

Louise set the tea on the table again and began to stare at Saito for awhile. Something caught her eye, though, after sitting in silence for awhile.

Louise turned her head and saw the color on the wall drain away. The gray began to invade all the other walls and things in the room until everything in the room except Louise and Saito was gray and unmoving. Louise pulled out her wand in anticipation of an attack and proceeded to try and guard Saito.

A glowing black circular seal appeared on the floor in front of her and after a few seconds a figure slowly came up through the seal and once they were fully through, it disappeared.

"Who are you? How did you get here?" asked Louise in a serious tone as she pointed her wand at them.

"My, my, those are some manners to project at your guest," said the figure.

"I don't have manners for uninvited guests," Louise said, calmly and coldly.

"Well I may be uninvited but, rest assured, I am here for a purpose," said the figure.

"First, I want to know who you are and how you got in here," said Louise, seriously.

"Ah, yes! Please forgive my rudeness. My name is Lord Ivarod of the Kingdom of Ereborn," said Lord Ivarod as he bowed in front of Louise. "I entered here using a special artifact which I obtained called Beowulf. It is a magnificent sword which has the ability to freeze time in a certain place, excluding whatever I want, and teleport anywhere inside that space."

(Lord Ivarod is the king of Ereborn and an extremely powerful mage. He has a stout figure and silvery hair in a similar style to Julio's but pulled back from his forehead. He was lean and had broad shoulders and a slim body. His eyes gleamed a purplish color and were piercing yet calm. He wore a golden cloak and black dress clothes underneath.)

(Beowulf is an ancient magical sword that was forged by the first Void mage to ever exist, which was approximately 7000 years ago. It has a silvery blade which was similar to a European knight's blade in our world. The hilt was a pewter color and had golden inlays and designs. The blade has the ability to freeze time in a certain area once a day but cannot freeze people. It can also teleport the user to any place within the radius of frozen time due to the fact that doors cannot be opened since they are frozen. The blade isn't really meant for combat but the blade can cut through a normal steel blade.)

"So what do you want? I won't let you hurt Saito, again," said Louise, still a calm expression, though her heart was racing.

"Relax; I have no intention of hurting you further. I merely wished to make myself known. You see, my dear little Void mage, I am a new Void mage, one who inherited the powers of the previous king of Gallia," said Lord Ivarod before bowing.

Louise froze in place at these words. Even Saito couldn't fight the acceleration magic of King Joseph.

(Note: I follow the anime so I am not keeping the story true to the Light Novel.)

"Seems my familiar did quite some damage to him," said Lord Ivarod as he pointed to Saito. Louise tensed up and jerked her arm to make her wand noticeable. "Relax. As I said I have no intention of destroying you yet. I wish to play with you all for a bit."

"What do you want from us?" asked Louise.

"Want from you? Nothing really. I will be taking over the world soon and destroying all living Void mage and their familiars but before I do I'd like to toy with them a bit," said Lord Ivarod.

"W-Wha?!" shouted Louise in a bit of shock.

"Hm…seems that my time with you is up. Well then, goodbye now," said Lord Ivarod as he waved at Louise and, in a flash of light, he disappeared again.

Louise stood there for a moment and watched the room begin to gain its color again and after everything was back to normal she sighed and fell to the floor on her knees. She had never been so scared in her life. Another Void mage with acceleration, Saito was down, and no one could interfere.

"SIESTA!" shouted Louise. She could hear footsteps running towards her door and Siesta, along with Tabitha and Kirche, burst in to see what was the matter.

"What's wrong Mrs. Vallière?" asked Siesta, a bit surprised to see nothing out of the ordinary.

"We are taking Saito to the castle now!" shouted Louise after hopping up.

"W-Why?" asked Siesta, a bit shocked by Louise's bout of anger.

"Just do it!" shouted Louise as she stormed out to get her and Saito's things together.

So?

I know it was a bit of a cut off ending but the next part is them in the castle and I'd rather not cut that scene up when I have a perfect time jump right here.

Anyways please Review and let me know what you think, especially about Ivarod's relatively calm personality. I always liked the villains who are calm and complacent because it usually makes them more sensible.

Anyways I'm rambling again. Until next time...byeeee :D
