"I thought you said you knew the way because of your Crimson breast" Seere snarled.
"Indeed but I had my doubts, I had to double check" Anghel answered while he walked forward in front of everyone.
"Anghel the brunette man was a Assassin" Cain said while Anghel looked at him beside him.
"Indeed" Anghel answered while he looked forward.
"But yet you trust him?" Cain said in confusion.
"We've met him before, he was after Anghel...But he paid him off" Edelblau said.
"Ahh, so now he hasn't got a reason to kill you because you paid him more money...I see" Cain said.
"Anyways, a two week walk! What on earth shall we do during that time?" Seere asked.
"Gather equipment, train and walk" Anghel answered.
"Ahh, yes...Rio!" Cain smiled while he slowed down so he was walking next to Rio.
"Yes" Rio said while he looked up to Cain next to him.
"How about me and you train together, hmm? We can teach each other new skills. I can teach you how to become quicker with your weapon and you can teach me on how to move so gracefully while your falling over" Cain said finishing with a little laugh.
"Sure, I'd like to improve my skills" Rio smiled.
"Haha! Same goes with you Anghel and Edelblau! I can teach you two some sword skills" Cain smiled.
"Oh no, I do not fight with a sword...I use my feet and fists!" Edelblau smirked while she punched the air while Cain laughed.
"Ahh, I see" he laughed.
"However I would like to train in sword fighting" Anghel said while Cain looked forward to him.
"Of course!" Cain smiled.
"Huh, since everyone is training...I shall practice my skills!" Seere said.
"Yeah, on trees. I do not wish to be frozen" Cain said while that lead Seere to frown at him...
Two days later
"Haha! A village!" Anghel smiled while he and the others stood on top of a hill looking down at a small stone village with a shopping market.
"We can get the supplies we need" Cain smiled while he walked down the dirt path down the hill with Seere and Rio behind him. Anghel however looked over his shoulder while Edelblau did the same.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"Nothing Edelblau" Anghel said and he walked with her and they court up with the others.
Once in the town they split up going to the shop they needed. Edelblau and Rio walked to a fresh fruit stand and got two apples for themselves and bread for the journey ahead. Edelblau bit into her apple first and turned around while Rio watched her. However he eyes widened and she swallowed the bit of apple she just put in her mouth in one go.
"God, chew your food" Rio mumbled while he turned around however in front of him was Seere standing in front of a magical crystal stall scratching his head. However the place he was scratching was behind one of his cat ears on his hood. Both Edelblau and Rio stood frozen while they watched Seere scratch his head. This was too cute to not look at!
However a cough snapped both of them out of their frozen state as they looked at Anghel who was putting his bag over his shoulder.
"Have you got everything that you wish?" Anghel asked.
"Y...Yeah" Edelblau stuttered, her face blushed.
"Every well" Anghel said and he walked off. Edelblau then looked at Rio while he looked at her.
"Erm, what do you want to do?" she smiled.
"Erm" "Rio!" snapped Seere so Rio looked over to him, Seere moved from the magical crystal stand and was at a Alchemist stand.
"Come here, I wish for your presence!" Seere snapped. Rio nodded and walked to him with Edelblau by his side, they both stood in front of him.
"Is there any space in that small bag of yours? I wish for you to carry something for me" Seere said.
"Erm sure" Rio answered while he opened his back and Seere placed a potion in his bag.
"I thank you" Seere said and with that he walked forward.
"Well that wasn't awkward" Edelblau whispered with a small laugh in her voice.
"Yeah, differently with your red face" Rio laughed while he walked forward.
"Shut up" Edelblau laughed and she gently hit Rio on his arm while he laughed at her. However Cain was by her side with a smile.
"Greeting's Edelblau! Have you got what you wanted?" Cain asked.
"Yeah, how about you?" Edelblau asked.
"No" He sighed.
"Oh let me guess, you couldn't buy a far lady's heart" Rio sighed
"Ahh but not any far lady. No, this one" Cain said while he smiled at Edelblau. Rio sighed and walked next to Seere in front of Cain and Edelblau.
"Your bother is rather annoying" Rio sighed.
"Pff, tell me about it! The fool doesn't know anything about personal boundaries" Seere snarled.
"Indeed" Rio sighed while he looked at Anghel walking ahead of them.
"Anghel, are we leaving this village now?" Rio asked.
"Indeed!" Anghel smiled...
Two hours later...
They walked out of the village and carried on walking through woods which seemed to last forever.
"I don't like this, shouldn't we be out of here by now?" Rio said.
"Hmm, what you say is true" Seere sighed.
"Ahh! Lighten up you two!" sounded Cain's voice behind them.
"It's a nice walk and a little romantic too! Why don't we make use of it hmm? The view may change after all when we get closer to castle Wallenstein's castle" Cain said.
Seere and Rio just sighed at Cain's words while they both looked at Anghel walking in front of them.
"I have travelled these woods before, it is almost the end" Anghel said while he stopped walking.
"We rest here" Anghel said while he looked around.
"Ahh, a rest!" Edelblau smiled while she sat on the grass next to the dirt path she was just walking on. Rio was going to join her but Cain stopped him by pulling his arms.
"Oh no! You can't be tried from that little walk, so why don't we start training?" Cain smiled while Rio looked at him.
"Ok" Rio smiled.
"Haha, perfect! I teach you how to be quicker and steadier on your feet first than you shall teach me on how to move so fast while swinging my sword" Cain smiled.
"It's a deal!" Rio smiled.
"Perfect!" Cain smiled while he got his sword out of his hold while Rio did the same. While they were getting ready to train Anghel sat next to Edelblau.
"I wonder when he's going to teach you some sword fighting" Edelblau said.
"After Rio as I am not a swordsmen like him" Anghel said.
"So what are you then?" Seere snarled while Anghel and Edelblau looked over to him.
"If you're not a swordsmen or a Sorcerer then what are you?" Seere snarled while the classing of swords was heard while Rio and Cain trained in front of them.
"I am the Crimson Fallen Angel! Who has been requested by the gods" Anghel snarled back.
"Huh, I see" Seere sighed.
"Ahh!" Rio gasped while everyone looked at him fall onto his back on the floor dropping his sword next to him.
"Haha, so that is your problem hmm? You don't keep a watch on my sword if it goes below your knees... Try and keep your eyes on it. Watch my movements carefully! If you see my sword go to your feet either jump or step away. Only then can you not fall over on your arrs" Cain smiled.
"Ok" Rio said while he stood up.
"Again" Cain said
"Shouldn't you two rest for awhile?" Seere asked.
"Oh do you worry about me little brother...Now don't you worry about us, just keep looking cute in those fluffy ears and we'll be more than fine" Cain laughed.
"Do not mock my ears you fool! It is not my fault this hood has them!" Seere snapped.
"Haha, you misunderstand! I do not mock them, no I praise them! They do indeed make you as cute as a real kitten!" Cain laughed.
"Oh shut up!" Seere snarled pulling his hood off his head.
"Aww! Don't hide them!" Cain cried.
"Cain" Rio said and Cain looked at him.
"Ahh yes...Sorry I got distracted, guess that is another thing I must work on. As I can't always look at my cute little brother can I" Cain smirked and with that he and Rio started to train again.
"How dare he mock me!" Seere snarled while he looked over to Edelblau who was laughing with Anghel smiling widely.
"Err, I can't believe this!" Seere snarled in anger and he watched Cain and Rio training.
Their swords hitting each other while their movements were quick and strong. However Cain moved around Rio and swung his sword towards his legs under his knees. In response Rio jumped over the sword however when he landed his feet he slipped and fell on his bum.
"Hahah! You judged it, you fell but you judged it!" Cain smiled while he reached his left and towards Rio who was sat on the floor. He then held Cain's hand and with his help stood up on his feet.
"Well done! Next break we have, we shall train again" Cain smiled and with that he sat down next to Seere with a large smile on his face. Rio smiled back and sat next to Edelblau...
