10 Chapter 9
"I don't know Arthur... I don't know whether I'm just being paranoid or that my intuition's acting up."
She, the purple haired heaven defying beauty spoke with a worried tone and face as her grip on her partisan and the reins of her dragon tightened.
The blonde haired young man who wore a blue gambeson lined with golden steelsilk and light plate armor on top comforted her, saying:
"Don't worry my dear Tako, we're only two days away from Inthe. We already passed the border two hours ago."
"Still, let's not hope that your intuition really is acting up. If that were the case, then this spells trouble." Arthur's face turned serious as he said this, his golden crown glistening in the sunlight, just like his plate armor.
The golden sword at his side with it's silver and gold scabbard emanating an aura of kingliness, power and authority.
Excalibur.
Tako pondered for a few moments, all of the knights stopping to stare at her. But what she said next panicked all of them.
She looked up, her pupils, scarlet red, just like rubies in her iris colored irises. "There is almost no chance that this isn't my intuition acting up!"
Arthur fixed Excalibur so that it wouldn't fall. "Galahad! Run up front and tell them to hurry up, Tristan, tell the ones at the back to do the same!"
Two of the knights, one with a longsword and a halberd and the other with a shortbow ran towards their respective directions.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Bosslady! It's true! Those two emperors really plan on attacking Inthe!" A rough, burly man said shouted as he entered the biggest tent.
Levyne nodded at the news dismissing him with a wave of her hand.
The man left and she turned around, her black hair with a green tint tied in a ponytail swinging, half her face covered by a mask as green as her leather and plate armor, chainmail underneath.
A mace with seven flanges hanged at her belt, oddly enough, it's flanges were sharp, much like an axes' blade.
"Rayne, Layne, tell Vayne to prepare the Wyvern Riders! Don't forget to tell Kain to prepare the Rhino Cavalry! I want our Magic Archers and our Guardian Infantry ready by tomorrow! We march to Einthore in three days!"
The two girls who hid in the shadows, Rayne and Layne nodded and ran through a different exit. Rayne had blue hair, wielding two gladius. Layne had an odd pata. It was bronze in color, the blade where one would be if it was held like a normal one. What's worse is that it was a tachi's blade.
Levyne walked out of her tent which was inside a cave. "Freedom is gained through Power and with enough Freedom you can achieve what you desire, huh?" She had a rare gentle smile, although her lips were covered by her mask.
"Whether your niece can be compared to you, I'll have to see for myself... I know you most likely can't hear me but... You were always the only man I loved, Dominus."
Dominus' Projection appeared behind her, his scarf lowered, a teasing smile on his face as he slowly bent over and put his lips beside her left ear.
"I can hear you, loud and clear Levyne. Loud and clear."
She recognized the voice almost immediately thus whipping around, only to see nothing but a few motes of dust behind her, an inconspicuous note on the ground where Dominus' projection was.
It said: "The enemy isn't who you think they are. All forces must band together to stand a chance at fending them off."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Somewhere just outside Paradeisos...Inside a massive black sphere near the size of the moon...
An Abyss Walker with a Guandao walked forward and kneeled in front of the pitch black throne. "My Lord Nadir, The Wheels of Fate, They turn to Paradeisos just as you expected."
The man sitting in the throne stood up. "Where exactly are they pointing to?" He asked, his voice resounding throughout the massive room.
"Einthore, My Lord, the Capital of Inthe." The Abyss Walker shuddered in fear as Nadir cast his gaze over it.
Nadir nodded, sweeping the floor with his long black cape. "Head to Einthore. Ten days." After saying this, he proceeded to walk towards one of the corridors.
"Y-yes My Lord, we shall begin moving shortly." The Abyss Walkers all trembled before scrambling, ordering the Abyss Spawns to get to work.
...
Nadir cast his gaze outside, his long black cape connected to his black pauldrons. His long black hair, night sky black eyes contrasting against his pale skin. His pitch black plate armor glistening and releasing an aura which would make anyone feel like they were staring at the embodiment of hunger and Gluttony, which Nadir truly is.
He pulled out a pitch black stick like object. Souls which were contained in a black orb in his armor began coalescing to form a blade on the stick.
"I hope this World would prove to have some intersting Beings... I really wonder why no Deities are allowed to preside over this World..."
He grinned as a golden lamp which contained a beautiful woman appeared beside him. She had waist long golden hair, a few strands in the front were scarlet red. Her left eye a beautiful blue, only that even her sclera was blue. Her right, however, had a normal sclera yet with an iris as blue as the ocean. She wore a thin, ankle length dress.
A golden collar at her neck, a sapphire embedded into it... Her beauty, possibly beyond anyone elses.
"I do wonder who this 'Master' of yours is, Elayna. You barely had a Core when we found you drifting towards Paradeisos... Perhaps this change in 'Fate' is all your doing or is related to you, is it?"
