(Masky's POV)
It has been two weeks since Akira was taken from us and now we are having a meeting to make a plan to get Akira back we were standing at a large round table and we were looking at a map of the area around the Palace
"We will need someone to scout out the routes of the guards along the wall so we know when we can get by them," I told them and they nodded
"I have a few people that can get in to the palace and get the of the routes of the guards without being caught" Aki said as he walked over to the map and pointed to the map "But if we are going to get in without getting caught then we should take this route" he said as he at the garden's maze near the back of the palace.
"Jasmine how are the weapons coming along," I asked her as she looked up from sharpening one "They are almost done they just need a few more adjustments," Jasmine said "and then we can get in without the guards seeing them since I heard when I was in the town that there is going to be a party for someone in the palace"
I was shocked when she said this
"The only person that they might through a party for is Akira," Aki said as he placed his hand on his chin "But wouldn't this party mean that it would be to easy to get her back?" Aki said as he looked at the map
"Indeed but it might be the only shot we get to get Akira back," I said and I looked back at Jasmine "When did they say the party was?" I asked her
"A week from now," she said
Hoshi looked shocked
"That would be the day that she came to the village it may not have been a year since then but I remember the exact date when she came," Hoshi said and we all caught suspicious about it
"Aki, see if you can get any history about the people in the palace from about 20 years ago," I told him and he nodded and left the room to get the information.
While Jasmine left to go and finish the weapons so we can get them in without them being seen by the guards
"Noshi try and find out if you need an invitation to the party I'm going to look into something," I told him as I left the room
"Alright," Noshi said as I left.
I was making my way to the forest to see if I can contact an old friend of me as I pulled out a purple-blue crystal
"I was thinking that you died man" A voice came from the crystal
"I need your help with something," I said ignoring his comment
"And that is?" the voice spoke again
"I need to rescue a lord from the Palace in the capital," I told him and he started to laugh
"What? You fell for a lord. Man, I didn't think you went that way" the voice was laughing and I growled,
"Dante piss me off and the lord is a girl named Akira!" I yelled at him as I punched a tree and Dante stopped laughing almost as soon as I said her name
"Did you say Akira?" Dante asked
"Yeah is that a problem?" I asked him
"There was someone in the Palace who passed away due to a sickness almost half a year after she gave birth to her daughter though I don't know what the daughter's name was the mother's name was Akira Angelina Fallen" Dante said and I was slightly shocked after about an hour I asked him again
"Will you help?" I said and I heard a sigh
"Fine since I still owe you for saving my life Shuichi," Dante said and I let a small smile appear on my face when Dante said he would help.
I was making my way back to the inn when I was stopped by one of Aki's bandits
"Masky was it?" the bandit said and I nodded "I want to ask you a question," they said and I looked at them and they continued
"I want to know what you are," they said and I realized that it was this bandit that saw my eyes changed
"What I am doesn't matter now does it? Our top priority is to get Lord Akira back" I told them and walked past him.
"Why does that whore get our leaders attention so much" I heard the bandit say to himself and for some reason, it just pissed me off
"What did you call her?" I said as I stopped in my tracks
"Oh nothing just talking to myself trying to figure out why a whore like her gets the attention of our leader so much," he said and soon I punched him to the ground hard enough to make his nose bleed
"Call her a whore one more time and I will personally end you," I said with venom in my voice and the bandit looked terrified and I could tell that my eyes were red and I just walked away to go and tell Aki what happened.
After two hours Aki was pissed at the bandit when I told him what he said about Akira and I left to go and relax and regain control of my powers soon I looked up at the moon and thought out loud
"Just you wait Akira, we are coming for you," I said softly before walking back to the inn to get some rest.
