||The Core!|| {@Eggbearslayer}
It was only normal for the Summon Spirit to get curious upon receiving a letter from an anonymous person asking for him to come to Lake Sinoa cave. After all curiosity brought temptationā¦
Red eyes scanned the area of the cave as footstepsĀ descendedĀ deeper and deeper into the dark areas that only had little light provided. A calm expression on his face did not hide how cautious the Summon Spirit was. After all⦠Who would send him a letter anonymously to come down here? A hand rested on the hilt of his sword as he entered the altar where the Centurion Lumenās core had once been held.
A woman with pink hair stood before him.
āI must admit⦠I didnāt think youād actually come. Iām rather impressed and stunned that you would either be so daring⦠Or very foolish.ā
Was the first thing to pass the womanās lips as a hand held her own weapon of choice which was a unique shortsword. A thoughtful look was on her face as she looked him over.
āMy arenāt you a piece of work?ā
āWell it seems you definitely arenāt here for some simple chit chat.ā
The blond drew his blade and pointed at her. A look of fiery determination burned in his eyes. He wasnāt in the mood for some chick to come out of nowhere and challenge him for no reason⦠So heād be quick with this one.
āAny last words before we fight?ā
A shake of the head soon was followed by the sounds of metal colliding with one another as swords clashed⦠Artes were cast⦠And even punches and kicks were thrown at any givenĀ opportunityā¦
However it wasnāt even an hour later when the two were worn down⦠A black remote looking object was in the femaleās hand.
āI didnāt expect to actually use this⦠I didnāt really want to use a bomb to dispose of you. What a painā¦ā
She muttered to herself as she pretended to sigh. Her thumb floated right above what looked like a button. Which Ratatosk knew would set it off in less than a heartbeat.
āAre you actually going to blow us both up?!ā
Red eyes grew wide as he suddenly took a step back. Was she actually serious?! Was she that insane?! He froze in his place as red eyes scanned the altar again⦠Little black boxes were mounted on the walls⦠This was no joking matter. If she had taken time to actually set this up⦠She was very seriousā¦
However while eyes rested on one of the black boxes⦠He heard a small āclickā as a red light seemed to have beeped on each of the boxes⦠Yet⦠They didnāt detonate right away⦠Did this mean they were duds?! Then that meantā¦
A smile graced the womanās lips as the sound of sword piercing through flesh rang in her ears. An eye opened as she looked proudly of where she stabbed the other being.
āYou let your guard down āLordā Ratatosk~ Such a shame. This was easier than I though~ Iāll give you my name to curse while you go to sleep~ Rene~ Remember it. The woman who outsmarted you~!ā
She whispered into his ear as the blade was slowly removed. She watched the male drop to the floor and in a flash⦠A beautiful red core was able to been seen by her eye.
āFinally now I can wipe Tetheāalla off the face of the map~!ā
The delighted woman exclaimed out loud to herself. However before a hand could reach the orb⦠A monster much larger than she appeared before her and quickly took a careful hold of the core with itās mouth. A fenrirā¦
āBeast! Return that to me!ā
A voice filled with rage called out before the wolf like monster ran off.
However her attempt at following the creature failed⦠And she soon found herself standing at the ruins of the Tower of Manaā¦
Alone⦠And without her prize.
However a good distance away⦠Between the path to the remains of the Tower of mana and Luin⦠The Fenrir ran as if it were running for itās life. All legs going as fast as it could go as itās oneĀ destinationĀ rested in itās mind.
Legs finally stopped moving when it came across something. A boy? He didnāt look that old⦠And seemed rather harmless actually. Deciding on blocking the young maleās pathā¦
The Wolf like being rested the core on the ground as it stood itās ground silently before the boy. A calm appearance one might sayā¦
Especially during a desperate time like now.
