Chapter 9: Welcome to Lumen Solis
-The Caves, Evening Hour-
A familiar figure was sitting on a nicely formed rock that wasn't pointed or rough but had a flat surface made for sitting while looking at her work of slaughtered men on the ground. Her wings were folded up around her arms with her legs rocking back and forth as she looked at the ground filled with blood and bodies, well…what's left of them as they were torn apart with limbs here and there, bodies either being split in half or…worst. She looked to be thinking as her crimson eyes pointed towards the ground but they soon looked up after some walking interrupted her thoughts.
"See…I told you she would be here." A feminine voice spoke out.
The teenaged girl looked up to see two figures. One of them being an all too familiar Witch girl wearing her black Witch outfit followed by the traditional Witch hat on her head and her Violet eyes staring at the teenaged girl while riding sideways position on her broom which levitated about 2ft. off of the ground with her legs swaying back and forth. Her name was Seraph Night.
She was followed by her companion who was garbed in a black cloak or…his face to be precise while his body was completely visible to anyone. The cloak itself looked long but torn up as well as if being used as a demonic cape. He wore a long sleeved black shirt with the collar opened but looked torn a little while on his sleeves he had dark grey chains which clung tightly around his arms while some remain parts of the chains ran down and touched the ground and at the end of his sleeves were ripped revealing his rather pale hands with black fingernails, his shirt was followed by black trousers with white stripes around the ankle bits and the end of that was ripped as well revealing his bare feet which were also pale with black fingernails. One noticeable thing was the two heads that were rested on both of his shoulders as if being shoulder pads, both of them being dark grey with black lifeless eye sockets and looked withered. He was about 5'10 in height, taller than both girls.
"…" Her companion was silent while letting out a grey translucent smoke cloud from his hood.
"-Sigh- still being silent not a surprise. But…besides that where were you all this time Luna? You totally left us without saying a word." The Witch said with a rather friendly smile.
The girl, also known as Luna short for Luz De la Luna but she is always known as Luna de Sangre, simply smiled and laughed a little before making signs with both of them and signed, [Oh you know. Roaming around, looking for some entertainment, sheer boredom. The usual.]
"You need to find some hobbies." The young man said beneath his hood as he reluctantly spoke out.
Luna signed back with a grin as her reply was, [Say's the Wither]
"Actually I do. Speaking of which why are you using sign language, why not speak to us?" The young man said.
Luna laughed and signed in response by saying, [Reasons]. Doing this made the young man grumble in response and Seraph simply laughed
"Ok that's enough out of both of you." Seraph said with a giggle which made the young man turn his head slightly and sigh while Luna stuck her tongue out in victory. After that Luna signed to them saying, [So what's on today's agenda? You were gonna explain it before I got bored and ran off.]
"Right well…ok being serious can you at least speak please?" Seraph said with a pout.
"Fine." Luna spoke out as she gave in while smiling. Her voice was rather angelic but held a sassy tone to it but she was being rather playful.
"Much better. Now continuing with what I was trying to say, we are heading to a nearby village. It seems that our Lord wants us to, level it." Seraph said.
"Really a village, that sounds boring." Luna said with a frown.
"Well…my sources say that the Ender-Creeper may be there since I didn't sense him or the girl at their so called home. Plus…the Village is said to hold a Priestess and her guard which could be some interest to you." The young man under the hood said with grey mist coming out.
Luna seemed to look up with interest and immediately stood up from her rock and smiled with glee.
"Well…that changes everything." She said with a grin.
-Elsewhere-
"And….freedom!" Howled a familiar wolf boy as he leaped out of the cave with enthusiasm followed by three of his companions. They watched as he landed on the ground on both feet but since it was wet he lost his footing and fell face first on it instead.
"Smooth…" Skreel said as Tamashi tried picking himself up.
"Hey, not my fault that the bloody grass is wet." Tamashi said with narrowed eyes.
"But it is your fault for not realizing that the grass could be wet after the rainstorm." Skreel retorted.
"Oh shut it." Tamashi said with a grin.
"Um…not to be...pestering you but how far are we to the village?" Andr asked softly.
"Oh it's real close. Just follow me and we'll be there like a Creeper blowing up a house." Tamashi said as he looked at Andr who nodded in her response.
The four soon continued on with their journey to get the village. Both Andr and Czysty were looking around at the environment and looked at the bright green grassy plains, the beautiful blue sky, the natural and healthy grown trees, the beautiful and colorful flowers, and the animals that roamed around rather happily without a care in the world. Both girls seemed to smile as they looked at the environment seeing how peaceful and serine it was to their eyes.
"You know, I didn't expect it to be so peaceful on the surface while we were done in he mineshaft." Andr said.
Czysty's only reply was a nod which Andr accepted and smiled happily as the four continued walking. As they continued on they started passing some trees and everything was silent and calm as the sound of leaves rustled and the wind blew near their ears but they came to a stop as Tamashi started sniffing the air and narrowed his eyes while sweating a little.
"Oh...no." He muttered making Skreel turn to him.
"What is it?" Skreel asked.
Before Tamashi could even answer his question something large seemed to leap out from the tree's and leaped over the group causing the to tumble out of the way but somehow Tamashi was smacked in the face by what appeared to be a tail and collapsed on the ground. All four of them tumbled on the ground in a heap and turned to see the large silhouette land on all fours on the ground. With it in the light they all saw that the silhouette was actually a large...very large wolf that was about 10 feet tall with a nicely groomed silver coat, piercing and intimidating golden irises in it's eyes, sharpened white fangs, and sharpened claws on each pawed feet. It was like any other wolf in the world (Except being blocky since none of the wolves are blocky) and one noticeable thing about it was it had Seven tails swaying behind it. It looked at the four and growled baring it's fangs at them causing the four to look up immediately at the impending threat before them. Skreel seemed to slowly grab the hilt of his sword while Andr seemed to cower n fear at the massive wolf, Tamashi was groaning as he held his head, unaware of what was before them, though Czysty on the other hand thought otherwise as she glanced at the canine. Skreel and Andr took notice of Czysty's gaze on the giant wolf and she showed no sign of backing down at all. Fearing for her life the two were going to call out to her but stopped when the wolf girl snapped her fingers and without hesitation, the giant wolf crouched down in a laying position and wagged all seven tails happily and loosing it's intimidating gaze.
Both of the Enders jaws dropped as they watched the menacing wolf turn as passive as that of a ocelot cat once tamed with fish. Czysty turned to them to see their faces and couldn't help but hold in her laughter, Tamashi on the other hand finally came too and looked to see Andr and Skreel with their shocked faces and Czysty who looked like that she was going to laugh her head off.
"Oh...I see they met Noah huh." Tamashi said.
"N-Noah...?" Andr said with a stutter as she turned to Tamashi.
"Yeah, he's Czysty's pet wolf and a loyal one at that." Tamashi said with a smile.
"THE WOLF IS HUGE! HOW IS SHE ABLE TO TAME IT!" Skreel yelled.
"Well...that part I can't explain. All know is that she got it when it was only a puppy." Tamashi stated.
The fact that they heard of the world puppy made Skreel and Andr sweat a little as they imagined it being the size of a normal human when it was a pup. Tamashi simply shook his head with a smile etched on his face and approached Czysty who was hugging Noah on his head which he seemed to enjoy.
"Alright...if Noah is here then the village is close by. It's just past these trees." Tamashi said.
Skreel and Andr nodded while Czysty simply climbed on top of Noah who started following Tamashi who led on. The group walked for about a minute or two before coming to a clearing and found themselves on a hill with a path leading down it to a village and a rather large one at that.
"And here we are. Skreel, Andr, I welcome you to Lumen Solis(Light of The Sun) but also commonly known as Fatel Village." Tamashi said as Skreel and Andr looked down at the village in awe to see the ground in the village surrounded by a lush landscape and also a barrier of some sort which seemed to serve as protection so the village won't get attacked by mobs or even raiders for that matter and it even had a large gate which lead inside. In the village there were homes set up side by side in, each one appeared equal in size and they also seemed roomier then a common villagers home, several shops were also set up around the village and seemed to be in good business...there was so many buildings and things that one could not even tell if this was a village or not. One noticeable thing about this village was that there was also a large Shrine in the village as if that was the center piece of the town. The four started traveling down the slope of the hill as they followed the path to the village. They found themselves on the North side of the village where the main gate seemed to have been set up at.
Tamashi decided to help Czysty off of Noah now that they were back but he watched as she got off on her own and walked to the gate leaving him a little dumbstruck but he shrugged his shoulders while Noah smiled and even chuckled a little which the Wolf boy took notice too.
"Shut up you stupid wolf." Tamashi said.
Without warning he was smack on the back of the head by Noah's tail as th wolf entered the village ad he narrowed his eyes as he followed and entering the village himself followed by the two Enders who were still looking around in awe. The buildings in the village were large and were made with different styles. They saw a weapons smith building, a Bar/pub, restaurants, anything that made it look wonderful and the people who roamed around were kind and generous to one another as they passed by the buildings while saying hello, or got into small conversations with each other, or help carry large and heavy items to a certain place. At this time however the four felt the ground shaking and the sound of many feet rushing to them. The four heard the sound of feet and distant voices and looked in the direction to see a ton of kids rushing to their direction and then quickly surrounded around Czysty and even tackled her down as they were extremely happy. By the looks of the kids, there was about thirty of them of crowded around the wolf girl.
"Czysty's back!" A blonde haired boy at the age of 8 shouted.
"Yay, she's back, she's back!" A brown hair pony tail haired girl chanted.
"Can we play together now Czysty!" A red haired little girl asked.
"Yeah, we can all play together now that you're hear." A black hair boy laughed.
"Let's play, let's play." A pink pigtailed hair girl begged.
"Please!" All of the kids said in begging ways while having cute innocent children eyes.
Czysty looked at all of them and could tell that they really missed her when she went to the caves with Tamashi. She smiled at them and nodded rather happily and all the children cheered out loudly and started naming a lot of things that they wanted to do with Czysty while they took her in their arms and started scampering away with the wolf girl.
"Does...that always happen?" Andr asked as she watched Czysty and the kids turn a corner and disappear.
"Yeah, though...I find it cute because it shows Czysty with her sweet side." Tamashi said which got Andr and Skreel's attention. "-Sigh- you see, Czysty can act hostile a little, mostly towards me, but she's a nice, kind, and generous person who cares for a lot of people, mostly these people here in the village. You see, to this village Czysty is-"
"Tamashi!" A female voice called out making the wolf boy stop his sentence short and both he and the Enders turned to see a female villager approach him. She appeared to be in her early-thirties as she had long wavy orange colored hair with a bright sunflower on it and it complimented her auburn colored eyes and cream colored skin. She seemed to wear a brown colored robe which had long sleeves that covered her hands.
"Oh miss Rosemarie, what can I help you with?" Tamashi asked, forgetting what he was going to say.
"It's nice to see you and Czysty safe from the caves. If it's not too much to ask, some of us were wondering if you can help out at the retirement home?" She asked.
"Sure, Ill get on that right away." Tamashi said before being called on again.
"Hey Tamashi!" A gruff mans voice called out making the wolf boy turn to see a couple of miners. The lead one appeared as a well endowned man in his mid-forties with a nice thick black beard, tan colored skin, dark brown eyes, short scruffy and black greasy hair which was under a golden miner helmet and he wore a gray miner outfit. The others wore similar miner outfits but wore different helmets.
"Oh mister Davis, what can I do for you?" Tamasi asked.
"The men and I were wondering whether or not the problem in the mines were solved?" Mr. Davis, or is actual name, Alex said.
"Yeah, but make sure your guard isn't done. There was a lot of raiders down there, Czysty and I are lucky to be alive if it wasn't for our new friends." Tamashi said while pointing at Skreel and Andr.
"I see, thank you for telling me this, well, we'll be on our way." Alex said as he and his men moved out.
After the left Tamashi turned to Skreel and Andr and went into his pocket and pulled out a slip that he had written while they traveled to the village. He handed it to Skreel and Andr and said, "Sorry but I'm gonna be busy for a while so I won't be able to give you a tour of the town nor show you a place to rest. There's a Inn nearby owned by a nice couple, show them the slip and they'll kindly give you a room, free of charge since I know you two don't have any Emeralds or any other kind of ore on you. Anyway, I'm off to the retirement home."
Tamashi started walking off with Rosemarie who was speaking to him and thinking of ideas which Tamashi took thought off and replied to them. Both of the Enders were speechless and looked at each other and then looked at the buildings in the village.
"I...didn't expect this to happen at all." Andr said.
"Yeah, I expected this day to just be like any other for me but, the rainstorm, going into the caves, and meeting up with Tamashi and Czysty, this day just seems to be the best one I've had." Skreel said.
"Yeah, so...but still, I wonder what Tamashi meant about Czysty? He said that she was something to this village and I'm wondering what it is?" Andr said with curiosity.
"Hmm, I don't know but he seems to speak fondly about her. Maybe their in a relationship?" Skreel said with a smile.
"I don't think so. She acts...what's the word...a little hostile towards him." Andr replied as she scratched her chin.
"Hmm, true. Well let's go find this Inn, I take it your tired so once we get their you can rest. I may travel around for a while." Skreel told her.
"Yeah, thank you Skreel." Andr said with a shy smile.
"Well, you should be thanking Skreel and Czysty, and I should do the same." Skreel chuckled.
Andr couldn't help but giggle and the two started walking around to find the Inn.
On the cliff side that looked down at the village, three familiar figures looked at the village rather calmly.
"So...that's where they are?" Seraph said.
"Yes, surprisingly I didn't expect it to be this large and highly populated. Hmm...better pay my source a visit after this." The hooded young man said.
"Well he did give us an idea on where the two Enders were." Seraph said.
"-Sigh- I'm not fond of killing civilians." The hooded figure said.
"Then you can handle the Ender-Creeper then." Seraph said.
The young man nodded but the two looked at Luna to see her legs dangling and swinging on the Cliffside as she looked at the village with a smile.
"Uh...Luna, what are you thinking?" Seraph asked.
"Well...I was thinking that we should attack at night, with a horde of Zombies at our side. Nobody would expect it since they're all sleeping. It's the perfect plan. Especially since the village will be a nice hue of red in the morning." Luna said with a innocent smile.
Seraph and her companion were silent for a moment and thinking it over. The hooded young man was extremely silent as he breathed out black smoke while Seraph simply clapped her hands together and said, "That's perfect, this plan will be flawless. Once we're done Lord Herobrine will reward us for doing this mission. You're brilliant Luna."
"Aw thank you, I know I am." Luna said in a confident smile.
"-Sigh- and how do you suppose we round up these Zombies?" The young man asked in a serious tone.
"Oh...leave that to me." Luna said as she turned back to the village with her red eyes shining brightly.
