"I am only here for you winged one" the Assassin said with a large smirk on his face.
"Of course! My Crimson breast told me so! I shall fight you!" Anghel said while he let go of Rio and Edelblau, he then stood in front of them spreading his wings out so they were protecting both of his friends.
"This is between me and you, Black Light of Tranquility!" Anghel snapped.
"How do you know who I am!" The Assassin shouted while he threw another throwing knife at Anghel. Anghel just stood still and closed his wings around himself and the knife hit his wings and dropped to the floor.
Anghel opened his wings and ran to the Assassin.
"Because my Crimson breast told me who you are!" Anghel shouted while he pulled out his sword and swung it towards the Assassin. However like a expect the Assassin dodged the swing and stabbed a knife in Anghel's side.
"Ahh!" Anghel screamed while he spread his wings, with the force the Assassin was pushed off the ground and thrown in the air, to only land on his back on the hard floor. Anghel held his bleeding side while Edelblau ran to his side.
"Anghel!" she yelled but Anghel looked towards the Assassin on the ground on his back with Rio stood on top of him and holding his sword in both hands pressing it gently on the Assassin's throat.
"No Rio!" Anghel shouted while Rio looked over his shoulder to him.
"Wha...What!" he snapped, Anghel walked to Rio and pulled him off the Assassin. He then looked down to the man while the man looked up to him.
"I know who you are... Your Haltfate... my Crimson breast tells me so" Anghel said.
"Huh, that is true...Tell me winged one. What are you going to do with me?" Haltfate smirked.
"Are you going to get your little sword men there to kill me? If you are just get it over with!" Haltfate snapped while he still laid still on the ground.
"No, killing is not my nature... Anyways I am not after you...Tell me Haltfate how much gold are you going to get paid if you bring my head back with you?" Anghel said while he looked down to Haltfate.
"Five hundred gold coins" Haltfate answered.
"Here!" Anghel snapped while he threw Haltfate his coin purse at Haltfate.
"In there should be six hundred coins in there. Take that as your reward and get out of my sight before I do let my sword men kill you!" Anghel shouted.
"Yes...Yes of course!" Haltfate said while quickly he stood up.
"Wait! Who sent you!" Edelblau shouted before Haltfate could run off.
"Answer her!" Rio snapped.
"I don't know...I was assigned by a letter...Here" Haltfate said passing Anghel an envelope and then he ran off back into the town. Anghel looked down to the envelope but then to his bleeding wound.
"Edelblau, can you heal me?" Anghel asked.
"I can wrap it in a bandage" Edelblau answered.
"It will do" Anghel said while he lifted his shirt.
Edelblau wrapped a bandage around Anghel's waist.
"Why did you let him go? You just made yourself broke" Rio said in a huff, Anghel could tell he wasn't happy with his decision however:
"Like I said, killing isn't in my nature so I will not kill an innocent...He shall not bother us now we paid him gold" Anghel answered while Edelblau looked up to him.
"I'm glad, I don't think I could bear to watch someone being killed" she sighed while backing away from Anghel.
"Thank you Edelblau...Come you two...We still have a four day walk ahead of us" Anghel said while he walked forward.
"Four days! WAAA! My feet are going to drop off!" cried Edelblau
Four days later...
Anghel, Rio and Edelblau walked for three days, pasting little towns and villages. However none was the one Anghel wanted so they kept on walking. On the fourth day Anghel lead Rio and Edelblau into a large city.
"Oh wow! Look at these building's, their so tall!" Edelblau said with a small smile on her face while she looked around the city shopping centre.
"Anghel since we're near shops do we need to buy something?" Rio asked however Anghel stopped walking while the other two stopped as well.
He then placed his hands on his chest.
"Ahh!" he gasped.
"Silence Crimson breast!" Anghel gasped while he looked forward. He looked carefully within the crown of people. However a dash of white ran through the crowd.
"There!" Anghel shouted and he ran forward.
"Anghel!" Edelblau shouted while she ran after Anghel.
"Oh, not this again" Rio sighed while he ran after the others.
Anghel meanwhile was running ahead towards the direction he saw the flash of white. He was sure the flash of white was a cloak of a person if not Seere! His Crimson breast told him this.
Anghel ran to the place he saw flash of white and he looked around. However he couldn't see anything but a crowd of people.
"No" Anghel gasped.
"No! I lost sight of him!" Anghel shouted while he slammed his foot on the ground.
"Damn you! Your more skilled than I thought Hallowed Magician of White!" Anghel snapped. He then looked rightwards to see Rio and Edelblau run towards him.
"Anghel look!" Edelblau shouted while she pointed forward. Anghel looked to his left and saw a book shop.
"Huh" he smiled while Edelblau and Rio ran beside him.
"*pant* do you *pant* think he came *pant* out of there?" Edelblau asked breathless while she was bent down try to get her breathe back.
"Only one way to find out, right Anghel" Rio said while he looked at Anghel's happy face.
"Indeed! I did not think of that! Thanks Edelblau!" Anghel smiled while he ran into the shop. At that moment Rio looked at Edelblau while she stood straight.
"Are you alright?" He asked
"Ahh! Not used to running so far that's all" Edelblau answered while she smiled. They then walked into the shop, once they entered they heard Anghel's voice straight away.
"Excuse me! Who holds restraint here?!" Anghel shouted while Rio and Edelblau watched on.
"Please do not shout in here" sounded a voice behind Rio and Edelblau.
"Ahh!" Rio screamed while he jumped backwards into a bookshelf that was placed behind him. A young boy was stood beside him looking at him with a frowned face. Anghel looked at the young boy too. The boy was wearing a green tunic that had a green cloak attached to it. He also wore a green hat that had a moon and a star key rings attached to it.
He then walked behind the desk that was in front of Anghel while he placed books down on it. He then sighed.
"I am Estelle Campanella, the shop's owner and I do not care for people who shout in my book shop...Now state your business here" Estelle said with a quiet but fed up voice.
Anghel looked at his frowned face but then he looked at his green hair and orange eyes.
"We would like to know if you seen Seere" Rio said, but that only lead Estelle to look at him with confused eyes.
"Who?" he asked while he looked down to the two books he just placed on his desk.
"The Hallowed Magician of White!" Anghel said in his usual loud torn which made Estelle to frown more.
"Please...Keep your voice down and I do not know anyone by that name or title, as I do not ask my buyers their names" Estelle explained while he looked back at Anghel.
"Is that all?" he asked
"Who just came into this lair then! I saw a dash of white leave here!" Anghel said yet again loudly.
"*sigh* Only a white cloaked man, who for once reason had cat ears on his hood" Estelle said.
"HAHA!" Anghel laughed while he slammed his hands on the desk.
"What is it Anghel?!" Rio asked.
"We must go! Did the cloaked man say where he was heading?" Anghel asked.
"No, but he did say something about the rose garden" Estelle answered.
"Let's go!" Anghel shouted while he ran out of the shop and slammed the door.
"We better go before we lose him!" Rio said while he ran forward.
"Thank you Mr Estelle!" Edelblau said with her smiling face, she then followed Rio out of the shop and to the direction Anghel went. They ran together side by side threw the city with Anghel in front of them.
"Ahh! How can he run so fast!" Edelblau sighed while she ran forward.
"I have no idea!" Rio answered while he looked over his shoulder to Edelblau.
"Maybe your just a slow runner" Rio said while he looked back forward. However he slammed into Anghel's back.
"Wow" Rio moaned while he backed away from Anghel and stood beside him while Edelblau stood on the other side of Anghel.
Anghel grinned while he looked forward to a rose garden.
"Haha! I knew my Crimson breast wasn't wrong!" Anghel smiled while he looked to Rio.
"I told you!" Anghel laughed and with that he walked forward with a large smile on his face.
"I don't know why he is so happy for! We haven't even found what we're looking for" Rio mumbled while he walked forward with Edelblau by his side.
"Shh, don't destroy his moment" Edelblau smiled while Rio just nodded at her words. In front of them Anghel looked around the rose Garden carefully however a flash of white appeared in the corner of his eye. He quickly stopped walking and looked left wards to where he saw the flash.
He ran towards it but as he did he saw what he wanted to see. A cloaked figure which was wearing a pure white cloaked was running in front of him. This cloaked figure had a hood which had cat ears on it which were perfectly sat on their head.
"Seere!" Anghel shouted knowing his was the man he wanted all this time!
"Stay away from me you Commoner!" shouted Seere while pulling a staff out from under his cloak and lifted it up. With that movement ice flew towards Anghel, so he lowered himself to dodge the ice ball.
"Keep away from me! Have no business with the likes of you!" Seere shouted however a wall appeared in front of him so he had no choice but to stop running. Anghel smiled.
"I got you now!" He smirked while he ran his way towards Seere.
However even before he could go close enough to Seere to talk to him he was pushed onto the ground. His sword flew out of its strap and landed in front of Anghel who landed onto the floor on his side.
"Ahh!" He gasped however he felt a cold but sharp object press at his neck so he looked upwards to only see another man stood on top of him, pointing a sliver sword down at him. However Anghel's eyes widened while he looked up to this handsome man.
This man had ice blue hair and eyes which matched his sliver armour. He looked strong and very skilled, Anghel just laid on the ground while he looked at this man.
"Ahh!" Rio shouted while he launched to the armoured man. Their swords clashed together while Rio managed to push the man off Anghel. At that moment Anghel sat up while he looked to Rio as he and the man's swords pressed together. They were both pushing at the swords but of course the strongest of them won.
Rio was pushed away from the man but his sword was smacked out of his hands and he was knocked down on to the floor by a swing of a sword.
"No one shall hurt my brother!" shouted the armoured man while Anghel looked towards Seere. Seere pulled down his hood to only show his ice blue eyes and hair.
"The two bothers of white!" Anghel smiled while looking at the two bothers.
Seere was behind the armoured man while the armoured man stood tall in front of him with a tight hold of his sword...
