ch. 9 adopted and picking a servant

AN: been busy and had to work this hole week but here's the chapter.)

Sitting on my bed I continued to ponder while only two names came to my mind 'either Scathatch or Medusa. Scathatch could teach me spearmanship and maybe other forms of combat but her primordial runes, magic, and most of gae bolg's power is fucked. Than there's Medusa, she isn't the strongest but she's fast as shit and speed is more important than power in my opinion. After all once fast enough you don't need to be a muscled idiot just build up momentum. Also I know for a fact she can suck out magic or aura in this case from people and can restore her own magic faster I don't know if Scathatch knows that move or if she'll use it I have barely any info on her Psyche. All I know is that she wants to die and that ain't much. Medusa's dream is to get revenge on Poseidon and Athena, or to revive her sister's, while she's cold hearted and believes herself to be a monster. But she showed a soft spot for Sakura so she probably isn't that bad.' Letting out a long sigh I got up while mumbling " I'll flip a coin heads for Medusa and tails for asshatch."

Flicking the coin up in the air I watched as it reached its apex before falling. Waiting for it to come down I caught it before slapping it down on top of my other hand. Raising my hand I revealed "tails so I get the hebihime huh."

(AN: I really couldn't decide which one I wanted to add so I flipped a coin in real life to choose. Don't blame me blame the coin gods I would like to write about Scathatch as well but it's whatever. Maybe later in the story I'll add her somehow.)

Just after thinking that I heard a knock on my door. Looking up I saw one of the kids Sasha uses as her personal little erond boys. "Sasha wants to see you she says you new mom is here." The little girl spoke before shutting the door and leaving.

Rolling my eyes I smiled a little. 'now to figure out who is the fuck has been spying on me I have a few ideas that it's probably a mercenary group looking for new promising members or maybe someone looking for an apprentice.' I thought as I walked out my room with my bag carrying my things. 'Ima have to grab my weapons locker after this.' I added to my mind as I walked towards Sasha's office.

Reaching the door I knocked a few times. After a second or two I heard "come in silver." Smiling I opened the door revealing Sasha sitting at her desk going through a few pieces of paper. In front of her and closer to me was a woman with long raven black hair. Due to facing the same direction I couldn't see her face but what I did see made my legs tremble for a second. 'That scabbard I've seen it before…oh shit fuck…..that's OMEN.' I thought as my eyes trailed up only to meet two blood red eyes staring back at me with cool indifference. 'Raven.' My mind raced at the impossibly low chance of meeting her. 'How in the fuck did she run into me. Were not on the east side of vale so she shouldn't have ran into me while flying back to mistral. Were on the north side so atlas?' As I finished that thought I felt a sharp pain on the back of my head.

*smack*

"You listening now little brat?" Sasha's voice sounded in my ears.

"Hmm oh ya just thought of something, now what did you say?" I asked

Sighing Sasha rubbed her temple and spoke "this is vermilion she is the one who wants to adopt you."

'Vermilion, ya bullshit.' I thought inwardly while I just nodded in the outside.

"She was a huntress but after an incident she retired and moved away to mistral. She came back to help a friend out and caught sight of you and got interested in your talent and decided to take you as a disciple." Sasha spoke while raven just nodded along her indifferent eyes now shone with interest and amusement.

"Yes I watched as a sick and weak boy pushed himself to the breaking point and released the chains that held down his body and soul." Raven announced following up with. "I want you to be my apprentice."

Looking at her I thought 'hmm this might be my only chance to learn from a huntress and I need to leave before any of my parents find out I unlocked my aura and am healed. I'll happily reunite with my sisters and maybe lily because she wasn't even part of the decision to get rid of me but juniper and nick can go fuck themselves.' I thought before nodding with a practiced smile. "I'll gladly accept this miss vermilion."

"Ah just call me mom, silver." She replied as her eyes flashed

'Like hell woman your not the good raven from beacon but the cold hearted raven that leads a group of bandits. But this is good I need to get contacts within the black market and mistral is the black marked capitol in this world. Also learning from her will be great. All I gatta do is play the bandit for a while.' Thinking this I responded shyly "ah I think that's too soon miss vermilion."

"Don't worry silver you'll get used to it now I have some things to do last minute go and meet me at your weapons locker from the forest. Give me an hour." Saying this raven jumped out the window and left.

"Hmm I guess this is goodbye huh." I said lamely

Smiling sadly Sasha stood up and walked over to me before wrapping me in a hug. Happily returning it I didn't forget to squeeze her supple ass as I let go. Bonking me over the head Sasha sighed and spoke "yes but not forever. Remember I'll always be here along with bee. Now go and get I have things to do."

Smiling happily I nodded and headed out the window as well. "Thanks for everything aunt Sasha see you if I survive her training." I replied as I let go and jumped out the window.
