CHAPTER SEVEN: STARGAZING
A week after the war with Lunar Fang...
A week has passed since the war with Lunar Fang. Everyone started going on jobs. Though, there wasn't much since everyone knew that they had just gotten done with a war. Lucas sighed as he sat next to Atlas and Eric.
"Something bothering you, Lucas?" Atlas asked.
"Sting's been acting weird since his fight with Akame." Lucas replied.
"Weird how?" Atlas questioned.
"He's more protective than he usually is. Though, maybe it's because I was hurt during the war." Lucas responded.
"Have you tried asking him?" Atlas asked.
"Yeah. He told me not to worry about it. That it was just his dragon instincts protecting what's his." Lucas replied.
"Then you shouldn't worry." Atlas said.
"I suppose you're right." Lucas stated, sighing as he did so.
Around nighttime, Lucas stepped out onto the balcony of the guild. "Luke!" He heard a female voice call out. He turned around to see Rialle sitting on top of the guild rooftop.
"Oh, Ally. I should've known you were out here." Lucas said, climbing the ladder to get to the rooftop. Once he was on top, he sits down next to Rialle. He looks up at the stars with her.
"Hey, Ally..." Lucas turns to his female best friend. "Have you ever felt like something apart of you is missing?"
"Is this about Zirconis?" Rialle carefully asked, knowing that talking about his dragon father upset him.
"No, I've accepted that Zirconis is long gone now. I gave up looking for him a long time ago." Lucas replied. "I mean before Zirconis, like I had a completely different life without magic."
"So, your origins, correct?" Rialle asked. Lucas nodded.
"For some reason, I can't remember what my life was like before I met Zirconis. If I had parents or siblings. It's like that part of my life has been wiped out." Lucas explained."Like my memories of it have been erased."
"I think about my family sometimes." Rialle said. "While I was battling Rosaline, I saw you." She turned to Lucas. "In the illusion that she gave me. She tried to trick me into thinking that you were dead."
"How did you get out of it?" Lucas asked.
"I thought about you and the guild. You told me that I was strong enough to overcome it." Rialle replied.
"Thanks for always being there for me, Ally." Lucas said. "You know if I wasn't destined to be with Sting and wasn't completely into guys, I think that you and I probably would've had a romantic relationship."
"We do fight well when we're together." Rialle stated.
Lucas hugs Rialle as he got up and walked down the ladder and into the guild. Rialle sighed as she watched him go, looking back up at the stars once more.
"A romantic relationship with Lucas, huh? That never really came to mind..." Rialle thinks to herself.
The next day...
At the guild, Lucas was sitting with Atlas. They were about to go on a job with Fera and Ace until Master Kaiba appeared on the second floor. "Listen up, brats! We have some new members who have joined the guild. Please give them a God Pegasus welcome!" He announced. Five familar people stood next to him.
"Oh hell no!" Lucas shouted.
Nero hopped down from the second floor. A silverish blue God Pegasus guild mark was located on the left side of his neck. "I see you took my offer." Atlas stated. Nero looked away. "Tch, I didn't join for you. Izumi and Rosaline made me join with them." He said.
Akame walked up to Lucas with Chii by his side. A black God Pegasus guild mark was located on his left shoulder while Chii had a white God Pegasus guild mark on her back. "Don't worry, mi amor. I made a truce with your mate. I won't chase after you." Akame told him.
"Nice to see you again, Frostmourne." Zoey greeted. A red God Pegasus guild mark was located on the left side of her abdomen.
"Wish I could say the same, Velveteen..." Alyssa stated.
Rosaline had a forest green God Pegasus guild mark on her upper back while Izumi had a dark blue God Pegasus guild mark located on her right thigh.
"Hmm? Where's Natsumi? I thought she would be here with you guys." Atlas asked.
Nero shrugged. "She said that she didn't want to join God Pegasus. Something about wanting to join this all-female guild. After the war, everyone in Lunar Fang went their separate ways. Well, except Milan. She's dead." He replied.
"And thank god for that. She creeped me out. Always sending her dolls to communicate with us." Izumi said, shuddering.
"Don't say things like that, Izumi. She was still our comrade." Rosaline said.
"Still. That girl was creepy." Izumi stated.
The former Lunar Fang members easily got along with their new comrades. And just like that, everything went back to normal. Lucas and Shiro were fighting, resulting in everyone fighting while others were trying to hide from the madness.
"Does this always happen?" Nero asked.
"You'll get used to it." Atlas replied, chuckling.
Elsewhere...
Milan stands on top of a hill, looking down on the town of Bosco. She remembers about God Pegasus destroying Lunar Fang. She thinks back to where everyone was gone and she found Kazuo, injured and defeated.
(Flashback)
Milan walks into the throne room, immediately seeing Kazuo injured on the ground. "Milan... you're the only one still standing. Thank god..." Kazuo managed to mutter out.
"It wasn't easy, but I faked my death. I let that Tribe woman win and think that she killed me. No one knows that I'm alive." She informed.
"Milan... You must get revenge on God Pegasus for destroying Lunar Fang. Make sure that they feel our wrath, and that the war hasn't ended. It has just begun." Kazuo said before he passed out.
"I will, Master..." Milan promised as she left the room.
(End Flashback)
Milan looked at her red Lunar Fang guild mark located on the left side of her left thigh. Her straight jet black hair blowed in the wind. "Milan, are you ready to go?" A voice asked. Two black silhouettes could be seen behind her.
"Yes, I'm ready." Milan replied as she turned around and walked towards the two unnamed silhouettes.
Milan clenched her fist. "Don't worry, Master Kazuo. I'll get revenge for Lunar Fang. As well as destroy though disgusting traitors..."
A/N: There you go!
So yeah, that chapter was short. I apologize. It was kinda like an "Aftermath" chapter.
Thoughts on Nero, Rosaline, Zoey, Izumi, and Akame joining God Pegasus?
Also yes, Milan is not dead. The last part is a sneek peak for the next arc which I'll be writing before the GMG. It will take a little longer because thinking of arcs takes up a lot of time and I'm busy with school and track. But that doesn't mean I'll be writing down ideas in my notebooks. Oops.
Hope you enjoyed!
