Chapter 17
'What's going on?' Rabecca thought as she walked towards Raia, 'is he dead hmmm' *Crack* Rabecca then slapped Raia, as he then got up "Huh What!! Why What's wrong with you?!!" Raia yelled as he clutched his cheek "you weren't waking up, so I had no choice but to hit you" Rabecca said as she looked out the window *Whistle* 'But she didn't even try to wake him up' Sedaris thought as he watched on. "You could have atleast taken those gloves off you idiot!!! I'll be feeling this for weeks!!" Raia yelled "Raia, Raia keep it down" the child groaned, rubbing her eyes as she woke up. "Uhm Rabecca who's kid is this?" Raia asked looking down at the kids face. "How should I know that?" She replied. The kid stretched and yawned. "Seriously? Talking to you is taking me nowhere!" Raia said as he covered the kid in his jacket and carried as he got up.
But before they could get to the bottom of the situation, the Captain Oswald Montgomery of the Blue Roses walked in with subordinates from different roses walked "Hmm looks like you kid's had a good time" Oswald said as he walked around the snowy and destroyed banquet hall "you chaps can help any alive civilians out" Oswald told the subordinates he walked in with 'That's if they haven't already did of hypothermia under all this snow' he thought.
"Raia!" Oswald yelled as he looked at Raia "Yes sir" Raia responded "I need an explain, what happened here? Oswald asked Raia spent a few minutes recalling events with the help of Rabecca and Explaining them to Captain Oswald Montgomery. "I understand The Dark queen and The Mad god interesting" Oswald muttered "yes sir, do you know them?" Raia asked "I don't not but thank you for the information" Oswald replied 'Hmm that's weird' Rabecca thought as they talked one of Oswalds subordinates gave him some information on the survivor's and Casualties. "Okay good work" Oswald said "Not that you asked Rabecca but Charlotte is alive and has been rushed off to the medics" he said.
"Thank you for the information" Rabecca replied "if that's all the information you two have I'll be on my way" Oswald said as he left "Before I leave, I've noticed you are carrying a child Raia hand her over I'll take it from here" Oswald said. "Uhmmm sure" but before Raia could let go of her "please don't give me to him I want to stay with you" The kid said as she gripped his shirt tightly as Raia looked at her he felt a weird sensation a type of connection "No uh I think I'll take care of her" Raia said "If you want to be my guest" Oswald replied "you know there's still something about your story that just doesn't add up Raia" Oswald said as he wasn't satisfied with their story "what do you mean?" Raia asked when suddenly a blue arrow went through his heart and stopped mid way through "Raia!!!" Rabecca screamed out "What are you doing?!!" She yelled as she almost attacked Oswald "Hold on Rabecca, it doesn't hurt i can feel but can't at the same time it's a weird feeling" Raia said as he tried to pull it out but couldn't touch it his hands went right through it "Now Raia how did you heal your wounds so quickly?" Oswald asked "I'm not sure how but my dark mana has some type of healing" he replied "Hm Where did the enemy go and why didn't they kill you?".
"I didn't see where they went, I don't remember much sir" Raia answered "Lastly who is that little girl really?" Oswald asked "i don't know that too, I just found her here" Raia said as the blue arrow disappeared "Okay i believe" Oswald said as he walked away "wait sir, what was the arrow for?" He asked " my arrows can discern the truth from lies, your truth made it disappear but if you had lied it would have solidified and killed you" Oswald said as he left the banquet hall.
"Glad that's over, but did you notice something he knows somethingwe don't" Rabecca said "hm what do you mean?" Raia asked "he called Azazel, Mad god Azazel and XziXzi the Dark queen we never mentioned that but he already knew there monikers" Rabecca "Yeah that is strange but you might just be reaching" Raia replied "Don't find it odd, like what he just did with the arrow he knows something we don't".
