Chapter 3: StarStruck

[Soluna]

The loud laughter of men could be heard from a kilometre away. The bonfire danced on the logs, never to end. Songs filled the air as

rouge-looking men sang songs with their heart's content. This was because of their successful catch of today's bounty mission. And, it

was the hardest of them all. To catch the Heir of the Diona clan.

It was almost midnight. Even though the circumstances, they were still celebrating their catch. Which was me. My name is Soluna Diona,

the Heir of the Diona Clan. My ancestors were connected with a God,thus making me a demigod. Well, now, we all don't

know which God my family is connected with. Some say it's either Apollo or Diana because we are all skilled archers. But, most say it is

Lady Diana because of our almost-similar name. Still, even though I have crazy powers, I am the exception. I can't seem to control

them. But, it's not only that. My liking of Blue colored matter makes me really comfortable but my family thinks I'm weird. My weapon of

choice is different too. Though most use Archery, I use a Wand and a Shield and fight in Mid-Range. They thought of me as an outcast,

a pun by the Gods. Well, they are still some people who respects me. And because of me, they got captured. I turned to my left and

glanced at my personal guard, Lincoln Herald. He was already up. "Princess.. We'll get.. you out.." he signaled me. With a surprised

face, I shook my head. There was no way I would sacrifice the people who believed in me. Pondering for a moment, I lay down on the

floor to prevent being noticed. At that moment, the Bandit Leader dropped the keys beside the cage. Seeing this for an opportunity, I

stretched out my left arm has a long as I can. "C'mon Soluna!" I shouted in my head. Miraculously, it got the keys in my hand. I was

overjoyed. Lincoln gave me a determined smile and then a nod. I gave a nod back and started to open the lock. Click! Ahhh.. That's the

sound of my freedom. I opened the door and... it creaked open. I stopped the Cage Door and hoped that no one heard that. After a

few moments, nobody came so I continued. Opening the door successfully, I looked at Lincoln with a grin. But his reply was different

from what I had expected. He perspired cold sweat and looked really frantic. His eyes signaled me to look on my right and I knew why.

When I turned round, an ugly face showed. It had facial hair and a ring on its lip. It was the Bandit Leader, Grinder, he calls himself. "O

Princess! You want to have fun with us don't you?" He laughed crazily. I gave a scream when he pulled out of the cage and dragged

me to the bonfire. I looked at Lincoln with a Im-Dead eyes. He grabbed the Cage Door and shook with rage. Except for him, the other

Silver Knights were unconscious so there was no way of help. Grinder dropped me just beside the bonfire and the other Bandits

laughed. They took out their weapons and aimed for me. "I'm not gonna let me prize go away. How bout I cut your leg a little, huh?" He

snarled with "that" look. My eyes bulge with fear. My leg?! True enough, he drew out his blade and hung it up on the moment. I

closed my eyes and braced myself. The next thing I knew was the sound of thunder.

Opening my eyes, I felt great relief and fear. Before my eyes was a figure which had made a crater by landing from the air. He wore a

brown cloak with a hood so it wasn't easy to recognize him. The figure stood up on look at Grinder's Direction. He was taken aback for

a moment and shouted, "Who're you punk?" I'm safe to say that the Figure was a silent-type as he did not reply from anything the

Bandit Leader said. It must have ticked Grinder off as the next thing I knew he had launched an full-charges attack. "Get out of there!"

I screamed at the mysterious figure who just stood there. And what happened next makes me shiver in fear even to this day. I saw his

lips move and suddenly his Fists were covered with Lightning. "Lightning Zap? But what could he do with a simple spell?" I thought.

Indeed, it was simple. The opponent takes a small amount of damage when used. Just as I thought he was about to get slashed and

hacked, he had done something which was merely impossible. The figure changes his fists to a palm and then the color of his Lightning

changes to orange. "Daemonium Scintilla: Grandis Homicidium!" He shouted out loud as he hit Grinder

with his left palm. Grinder then was "pushed" backwards. Suddenly, the same thing happened to his mates. "GAHH!" I heard them

scream. It made me laugh a little as it was quite funny when muscular man screams like a girl. Standing up, a face. He

charged again at him while he was looking in the other direction. I was about to scream a warning when a huge amount of flame

interrupted. I look on the trees and I saw another figure with black and white hair in the middle. He had a red coat with dark clothes

inside. With his blood red eyes, he shouted, "Shinn! Going solo again huh?" "Shinn" looked at his direction. Taking off his hood, I was

bewildered. His black hair swayed as the breeze flowed. His beautiful yellow eyes struck me completely. I stared at him for a moment

with much excitement. My heart beating fast. My face hot. What is this? And before I knew it, I felt a strong arm around my neck.
