“He must have gone down into the…”
“Quiet!” Kalin interrupted Callavan.
“Oh yeah, I forgot. My bad.” Callavan apologized. “So, do we follow?”
“I say we do,” The Hellthorn master suggested eagerly.
“No. He evaded us once with the same trick, he can probably do it again,” Kalin pointed out. “We should have the hole sealed as soon as possible since the guild master doesn’t want this information to leak out to anyone. We can’t cause a panic. Callavan, stay here with Cleon,” (the healer Kalin recruited), “and make sure no one goes down that hole. The rest of us will get someone to fill it in.”
‘I know he isn’t at fully recovered. I need to take him now while he’s in this weakened state.’Kalin took his swords and sent his magic through them, causing his swords to glow black.‘I’ll poor everything I have at him from the start!’Kalin launched towards Lucien who allowed him to approach.Whoosh! Clang! Clang! Whoosh! Clang!Kalin swung his sword, Lucien leaning left to avoid.With his other sword, Kalin spun and slashed horizontally.Lucien was able to parry this by forming his own sword in an instant then counterattacked with his o
Lucien trudged through the forest as the rain continued to come down hard as lightning flashed and thunder cracked.He put one foot in front of the other until he was too tired to continue.Weak and tired, Lucien allowed himself to collapse onto the sopping wet ground and leaned up against a tree as he heard thunder rumble above him.Breathing heavily, he tried to calm his heartrate, and before he knew it he fell asleep due to pure exhaustion.…“Did you find any clue to his where abouts?” Gloria asked the Hellthorn master in front of the Helix guil
Lucien looked over the board to memorize as many of the wanted criminal posters as he could. Eventually, people began to look at him curiously since he didn’t move from the spot for around a half hour.Noticing this detail, Lucien decided it was time to leave the board before he drew any more attention.‘I’m just glad no one has recognized me. I guess my jacket is still doing its job.’As the day continued, Lucien kept a look out for anyone that may look like someone on the posters he looked over while at the same time thinking of the steps he needed to take in order to make it into the capital and get in front of the Monarch.‘I need to first raise as much money as I can as quickly as I can for food and
… Three Months later…A single covered wagon pulled by two horses was making its way through the forest on the path headed west.Two men where in the front manning the reins while inside where a famous SS-Rank Knight named Carole Dagon. She was ginger haired with brown eyes and wore a two-piece dress with a red cloak. She was had just finished a job and was headed for her next destination. Accompanying her inside where two other men, sitting in the back while Carole was resting on soft pillows near the front of the wagon.“How come she gets all the pillows. This is damned wooden floor is very uncomfortable,&rdq
…A couple days before the Dragon sighting…Within the city of Coiledo, which lies about sixty miles away to the west of Elesron, there was a very large building where currently a large struggle was going on.Crash!A large amount of ice smashed through a wall within the building and swept up a dozen warriors as it did so.“SHIT! HE’S HERE!!” one of the survivors shouted. “Quick tell the boss— HAK!”This man was impaled with a large needle of ice that burst through his stomach. Blood dribbled out of his mouth as he collapsed to his knees and then fell over sideways.
Godfrey smiled as he watched the man he knew as Haze walk out into the streets.As Lucien disappeared into the crowd, Godfrey turned to Carole.“So, did he pass your evaluation?” he chuckled as he gazed upon her awe-stricken expression.“That man… I’ve never… I’ve never seen so much magic power in one place before,” was all she managed to say as he continued to stare out into the streets.“Is that so… We’ll have to make sure we stay on his good side then, won’t we?” the old man smiled.Carole gathered herself and stood back up.
Slash! Whoosh! Slash! Slash!Lucien launched himself off his ice pad and cut into the scales of the dragon’s lower neck.In a fury, the dragon tried to whack him out of the air again, but Lucien used the dragons neck to push himself away and form another pad to jump back at the dragon and cut into the dragon’s skin again with his sword.Roar!The dragon distanced itself from Lucien and opened its mouth, sending out a blast of ice magic.Boom!Lucien was only barely able to avoid the attack.‘I actually felt a bit chilly around that attack!’
“That’s insane!” Carole exclaimed with horror. “We need to hurry and warn everyone in Elesron!”“What do you mean we?” Lucien asked. “I believe that you will be the only one going back.”“Don’t tell me you plan on doing this alone?”“Of course not. But we need to determine the location of the monsters as well as the location of the this… monster tamer,” Lucien explained. “Viserion, do you know where they are gathering?”The dragon nodded its head, “I do, I followed one of their groups once and was led into a large plain where they are currently gathered. Its in the northern part of this forest.”
