Missionaries

Ray spends a couple of days studying and channeling, reaching the second circle with his gravity affinity, and he also works on making a Mind affinity spell.

During this time, Seirai and Modri begin completing more quests, currently they are on a quest to save hostages from a division of a gang in Alfuris City.

"Alright… Modri we have to be quiet going into this, I strongly doubt they will be as weak as the bandits we have been facing lately." Seirai whispers, while they are perched up in a tree with Modri.

They are near a large, well-built shack in the woods outside the shopping district of the city. They see a dozen or so guards, all with their own satchels with potions in them.

"Shit… They are well funded, and we aren't trained assassins or anything of the sort." Seirai mutters.

"I mean… We could do this loudly, it could spread our names more." Modri responds quietly.

"Yes, but we need to save the hostages trapped within, especially seeing as how they are decently important merchants that sell to some nobles." Seirai replies.

"Dang!" Modri pouts.

"Hold it. You may be on to something, I doubt they will immediately kill the hostages as soon as we attack, and as long as we can get their attention quickly, while hiding some of our strength, this could be good.." Seirai suggests.

"Sure!" Modri smiles, as both him and Seirai leap out towards the men.

"Finish them off fast, we can't give the others time to escape!" Seirai shouts over.

Modri begins to leap across the air , slicing the throats of every person they pass, ending them quickly.

Seirai activates the divine shield protecting her from the oncoming enemies, while they are in front of her, she swings her sword unleashing a wide fire, incinerating the enemies.

The remaining forces shout for their allies, but are quickly dealt with. Seirai and Modri burst into the large shack.

They see a couple of better equipped people waiting for them, near a small cell with three people locked within it.

"Silver Rush!" Shouts one of the gangsters.

A massive wave of a silvery liquid crashes over Modri and Seirai, shoving Modri against a wall, while Seirai is protected by the Divine shield.

As they are distracted the other gangster dashes quickly into Modri, shoulder checking him through the wall.

"Urgh.." Modri grunts as he stands up.

"That hurt a bit! I am impressed, but fair is fair, so it's my turn!" Modri smiles as he uses a new spell of his.

"Swift Gale!"

Modri's speed is enhanced tremendously while covering his entire body in rushing wind, as he sprints around. He uses wind walk and while building momentum, lightly cuts the gangster.

"Little prick!" The gangster shouts while trying to keep his guard up.

Modri then leaps off the wind, delivering a devastating drop kick into the spine of the gangster, completely breaking it, sending the gangster over fifteen away.

Arlghhhh!!!" The gangster shouts as blood spews out of his mouth, choking on his own blood.

Back on the inside, the Silver Gangster is sending, and manipulating a barrage of silver spells at Seirai, who is protected from all of it.

"Give up! My Lord has protected me from all forms of damage!" Seirai gloats.

"Shut it you bitch!" The gangster says in absolute anger.

"Silver wheel, First rotation: Ferrum!"

A large silver wheel with 14 swords shooting out of it, as it spins rapidly, more swords begin to be sent at Seirai, who continues to effortlessly block them.

"Damn it!!" The gangster continues to shout, until he smiles wickedly, pointing to the cell filled with hostages.

"What are you going to do, huh?! You are here to save them right. Can't do that if I kill them, so why don't you piss off!" He shouts.

Seirai simply smiles as she lowers her sword. Then mutters.

"Quick Blaze…"

As Seirai mixes fire with speed, creating a devastating move as, faster than the blink of an eye she swings her sword, unleashing a condensed wave of fire, cutting the gangster diagonally in half.

When Modri walks back in, both him and his mother head over to the cell, prying the door open.

As they open it, one of the hostages, a bigger man, with long brown hair and mutton chops, who immediately says.

"Finally I have been held by these low bred criminal swine for well over twelve hours, held captive with these…Commoners who have been crying the whole time. As a thanks for rescuing me from the hands of these lesser folk, here, have 3 gold(30 silver)" The man says as he barges out, leaving the shack.

Remaining there are two sickly looking teenagers, around fourteen to fifteen in age. They seem to be fraternal twins, as they look similar, but are not the same gender.

When Modri sees the girl he blushes a bit, but quickly shakes it off realizing these people need immediate help.

"W-who are you..?" The boy asks.

"No need to worry, we are guild members sent to rescue that annoying merchant who ran off. But we are glad to help you both." Seirai smiles.

"Mom! Can I talk to you for a second?" Modri asks.

"Hm? Yeah?" Seirai responds a bit confused.

They walk off to the corner, whispering quietly to each other.

"So, we know these people aren't in good health, and there is no way they can afford a healing spell.. I think we should take them back to the cliff." Modri suggests.

"Fair, but we should ask them first.. Also, Lord Kaine asked us to bring people here if they need it." Seirai responds as they talk for a bit longer.

After three minutes, they walk back to the twins.

"Alright we have discussed it, and as you are well aware, you are in need of help, help which you can not afford. Luckily our benevolent lord will grant you the assistance if you wish." Seirai tells them

The twins glance at each other. Before the girl asks.

"I-is he kind…?"

"Yep! He has saved me and my family twice!" Modri smiles.

The twins nervously agree, realizing that there was no better alternative, and as risky as this may be, it was the only option.

*****

Ray is currently organizing the potions he has made, but while doing so, he hears people walking out of the forest, due to his enhanced hearing by divine body.

'Hm? That sounds too loud to be just Modri and Seirai…' Ray thinks as he glances out his window seeing the group walking up.

[Time Skip!]

Ray teleports behind the group, not making a sound.

"Alright, so this area is our little base camp. My husband is making improvements, and that big building over there is Lord Kaine. Who we should meet first." Seirai says.

"Are you sure he won't be angry..?" The girl asks.

"Yep! He took us in, he is kind so you have nothing to worry about." Seirai smiles.

"I thank you for the praise, but first I would like to know who these two are." Ray says, in a calm but commanding voice, using a slight bit of the effect of territorial deity.

"Shit!" Modri shouts in terror as Ray jumpscares them.

Immediately both of the twins bow, not knowing how to react.

"Calm yourselves. As it would be the height of impropriety to not introduce myself first, allow me to inform you on who I am. I am Kaine, Lord of this small area we have, and a deity." Ray says.

"I am Lillian Taimon… B-but I prefer Lily." Lily says.

"And I am Effren Taimon…" Effren says.

"Well, my trusted Paladin has brought you here for a reason, and as it is plainly obvious you both are sickly so.." Ray replies as he taps them both on the head.

[Minor Blessing Activated!]

Suddenly they begin to feel the cocktail of diseases within them begin to fade away.

[Time Skip!]

With a shocked look on the twins face. They see Ray disappear right in front of them.
