(3rd POV)
When morning came along no one spoke of what they saw last night since even they didn't know what they saw, so they just ignored it and continued on their way to the capital. Akira was sitting on the carriage reading a book to pass the time since she knew it was going to be a long way to the capital and she thought that they would be walking their but since the plan changed since the villagers gave them a carriage to use since it would be a little quicker than walking. As Akira closed her book she felt the carriage stopped suddenly and as she opened the door to see what happened she saw an arrow coming at her and before she had time to move Jasmine blocked the arrow with her sword
"M'lady, please stay in the carriage," Jasmine said to her as she closed the door to the carriage she whispered
"We can't have them knowing you can fight unless it's needed"
Akira heard Jasmine's whisper to her
"I understand," she told her as she sat on the floor of the carriage as she lifted up her dress she was wearing to attach a garter belt that she used for the wedding to hold a few daggers before she started hugging her knees with Masky's cloak over her.
Then all of a sudden the carriage started to move again but it moved fast as she was about to get up to see what happened the carriage door opened and a three people entered the carriage and she noticed that it wasn't the people she was with, and with that in mind she moved to the other side of the carriage trying her best not to fall.
"Well, what do we have here?" One of the bandits said as he reached for her arm and in reflect Akira smacked his hand away
"Do you really think that you can beat the three of us?" another bandit asked and she took a deep breath
"I don't think" She started "I know I can"
As she said that she kicked one of the bandits out of the carriage and they looked at her slightly in shocked but recovered quickly as the fight started but when they hit a sharp turn Akira lost her balance and fell into the side of the carriage and the bandits took this chance to take her arms and tie them behind her back and the same with her ankles they then blindfolded her and thought she started to think of a plan which made her smirk.
"Why the hell are you smirking girly," one of the bandits said as they kicked her onto the floor but she never said a word she just smirked.
After what seemed like an hour Akira felt the carriage stop and heard more voices outside of the carriage,
"So who did you kidnap" the voice of the person was pretty loud as the carriage door slammed open.
Akira was grabbed out of the carriage and threw her onto the ground where she just adjusted herself so her hands where in front of her, Masky cloak that she was wearing was still covering her hair.
"Congratulations you caught a girl in a carriage," Akira said with a sarcastic voice and she felt a foot coming at her face and with her instinct she blocked it with her feet even though they were bounded together.
"Who are you?" The same person who spoke once the carriage stopped spoke again
"Wouldn't you like to know," she said again as she reached her hands to take off the blindfold but made sure her red eye was still closed.
Once she took off the blindfold she felt a pebble hit the back of her head and knew who threw it and she slightly nodded her head back to let the hood fall and show her crimson red hair and slowly moved her hands to the rope that held her ankles together.
"I'll ask you on more time girly, who are you," he asked her again as she bent down to her eye level
"And I'll say it again, wouldn't you like you to know," she said again as she got her ankles free as the bandit got more annoyed with her and picked her up and threw her over his shoulder "So what are you gonna do with me," She asked him
"For someone who just got kidnaped you seem pretty calm," He said to her as he threw her into a cage only to have her land on her feet
"Its because" she started and leaned her face close to the bars "I don't fear you people" once she said that the bandit grabbed her chin and faced it up at him
"Then pretty lady why don't you open your left eye if you don't fear me," He said with a smug smirk on his face and she didn't respond which made him laugh. "You are all talk and no bite," He said to her.
He let her chin go and once she did she notice that they had a small statue of the goddess that the elder dragon told her again and she smirked
"HA! As if you can scare me" She said to him as he started to walk away from her and she notices that the bars were just a little bigger then her body which allows her to slip through them.
"Oh really," He said as he turned around to find her out the cage and she walked over to the statue she saw as she opened her left eye hoping her plan would work. As soon as the leader bandit grabbed her shoulder and spun her around he saw her left eye and started to look at her and the statue
"Oh shit," he said out loud and backed away from her
"Now you see why I'm not scared of you," Akira said
"Y-Your t-the reincarnation of Goddess Selene Vesta," he said as he removed the rope from her wrists before he fell to his knees and bowed which shocked her.
Once he was kneeling Akira noticed that the rest of the bandits all started to kneel
"Huh?" she said confused and was about to back up when she heard voices
"Mi'lady!" the voices belong to Jasmine and Noshi and once they entered the cave that was the bandit's hideout.
Masky appeared behind them and placed and not long after they arrived did the bandits get ready to fight and she could see that Noshi and Jasmine's right shoulders were already bleeding very badly.
"Stop!" her voice yelled out as she quickly moved in front of Jasmine and Noshi with her arms extended out to block any attacks that may have already been fired.
"Jasmine, Masky, Noshi!" She said as she turned around to face them just as she turned an arrow stabbed her in the side
"Goddess Selene Vesta!/Lady Akira!" she heard both the bandit leader and her friends call out her to her as she fell to the ground but she just fell to her knees
"I'm, I'm alright," Akira said as she removed the arrow from her said and held her hand over the wound.
"WHO SHOT THAT ARROW!" the bandit leader yelled as he looked around the bandits and saw someone in the shadows
"Someone stop that person!" he ordered the bandits,
Akira got on to her feet and took out the daggers she had under her dress and threw them at the person moving in the shadow and managed to hit them in the leg causing them to fall to the ground and gave the bandits enough time to get them and tie them up.
Once the person who shot Akira was tied up and in the cage that Akira was in not that long ago we heard them starting to laugh
"Well it looks like, little miss princess over there was still able to pinpoint my location" they could tell that it was a female once she spoke soon one of the bandits removed her hood and revealed that she had wolf ears.
"She's Leidolf," one of the bandits said as the moved back and she just laughed, Akira made her way over to the cage that the Leidolf was in
"I don't care what you are but what I do care about is" Akira took a deep breath as she started to feel her body going numb and the bandit leader kept her standing so she could finish talking
"Who...Sent...You" Akira breath started to become heavy
"Dan! Get the medkit and the healing potions! QUICKLY!" The bandit leader said as he felt Akira lose her balance
"Well it looks like the poison is taking effect," the Leidolf girl said with a smug smile
"But I'm surprised that you lasted this long," she said only to get smacked in the face by Jasmine
"You will not talk to her like that!" Jasmine raised her voice which surprised both Akira and Noshi since she never raised her voice
"Selene Vesta just hang on," the bandit leader said and he laid her down on the table and ran to his tent to get something, as he ran back to Akira he opened the thing he got and a mist appeared around the area and a small pixie appeared
"I'm surprised with you Aki it hasn't even been a week and you call me now?" The little pixie said as it started an argument with the bandit leader Aki.
