The woman stared down the body with malice. She obviously wasn't no friend of his father and Shiebe could tell that. He put his hand out the door and in front of the woman.
Shiebe: Sorry Miss. You can't come into the palace without permission since Eros is out and I don't know when he will be back.
Shiebe made sure to be as polite as possible as he always does. Trying not to annoy the woman he slowly closed the door on her
Shiebe:...Shi-
He looked down to see her foot blocking the door from closing. He looked up towards the woman who kept the same bland expression
???: Eros gave me permission to come and take you with me.
Shiebe: Take me where exactly?
Shiebe: ...Argh
The door that he was holding onto suddenly dragged him away from the place he was standing and onto the floor further away from where the woman stood
Smoke came from her other foot.
???: What a pain in the ass. Come on your coming with me whether you want to o-
Shiebe:...?!Woah
A huge thick wall arose from the ground and separated the two of them. Shiebe used this to get back on his feet and took about 10 steps away from the wall. He looked around to see who had created the wall but he didn't need to look long.
???: I thought he told you to stay away
An elf with white hair stood in front of Shiebe holding her arm out to shield him from the woman.
Shiebe: Zaneff!
Zaneff: Don't worry your safe
???: You really thought…That would work on ME!
Zaneff:...Hmph
Zaneff created a wall of ice to block the flying pieces of concrete created by the broken wall. The woman brushed off the dust that was on her clothing before giving a piercing stare to the two of them. She took off her heels and gave a sinister smirk.
???: Y—-
CRASH
???: SPIT…W-what th-
A flash of lighting from down the hallways had caused the woman to fly into a pillar. Spitting out blood and she laid their facing the ceiling.
???: So you're the one causing all the noise. Jeez…didn't think it would be a woman
A dragonfolk with his black wings and purple eyes had joined the battle. He gave a smirk to the woman. Once she had gotten a glance at it it was as if she had blown her mind. She let out a shout before standing up. Her hair stood up waving in the air as a pink aura circled around her legs. The vases and tables in the area all flew and broke at her display of immense power.
Shiebe wondered what it was that she could have possibly wondered. Was it really necessary for him to have known the truth before opening the door? The worst case scenario was that he fell for her lie and went with him but that went back to his first question why.
Shiebe:...Ah!
A thought had suddenly come to his mind. It would make sense if he needed to know about the bounty if she was a bounty hunter and came to steal him away. A woman this powerful was in the city.
The woman first came towards Maz who had pissed her off the most with his sharp tongue. As she ran her aura followed leaving a path behind her.
Maz stood there until the moment she would have made contact with him.
Maz: Nice…To bad i'm have wings though
Maz had flown to the air moments before contact. He could have done it sooner but he somewhat enjoyed the thrill of being in danger. It was something that most dragonfolk at his age were into.
Maz: Now It's my turn!..
RUMBLE
???: Ha..HA..IS THAT ALL YOU'VE GOT DRAGON BOY!
In an instant the bolt of lighting sent by Maz from above was dodged with no problem. It seemed that without her heels she was even faster than before. The bottom of her dress being ripped also helped with her mobility.
Zaneff:....Maz Now!
Maz: …Argh!
CRASH
Zaneff used her syreum to cover the surrounding area of the woman with water. Not wasting any time Maz had summoned a bolt of lighting towards the water causing the woman,who wasn't able to catch up with the two quick thinking of the two, to get electrocuted.
???:T–STILL–ISN'T ENOUGH!
She managed to resist the shock of the Lighting. The water had begun to fade away. Footsteps from behind the woman could be heard though. She turned around to see the one person she had originally come for. A red haired boy reached his hand towards the woman
BOOM
Zaneff: W-woah..
Zaneff was the first to see what had become of the woman through the smoke. Just from one blast from Shiebe she had broken her legs and one arm twisted from the impact of the wall. He didn't say it outloud or even express it but deep down he was glad that he didn't kill her.
Maz stood in front of Shiebe, who was currently laid against the wall from the impact of the explosion, and lent him and hand. He grabbed his hand and leaned onto his chest.
Maz: W-woah..
Shiebe only cared about getting up no matter how weird it was going to be after he was on his two feet he leaned off Maz
Shiebe: Sorry…
With his back turned to Maz he walked towards the woman. Zaneff who stood beside the woman went to assist Shiebe but he put his hand out. "It's okay". He had finally stood in front of the woman. He crouched down to be Face to Face with her. The woman was still awake which is what he wanted so that he was able to speak to her.
Shiebe: Who are you and what did you want from me?
The woman smiled at his question.
Shiebe:..!!.Dumbass
BOOM
???:..URGH!
The woman tried to push Shiebe away with what little strength she had. It was easy for Shiebe to have grabbed ahold of it the women knew that but what she didn't plan for him to have exploded it off.
Shiebe: I don't want to kill you so just answer my question.
???: It doesn't matter…Others will come.. Many more will come and not just for you.. The council of hope and other top guilds will all get bounties.. We will inflict despair onto this world and create an army of killers whilst doing so. We've already converted more than half of the Ruina prisoners. It's only about time before the whole world -
???: Silence… It seems you and your little friends thought you could do the same thing as you did in Ruina. Sorry but this place is home to one of the council of hope members.
Black hair and covered in blood. The man knows the Monarch of Life Eros has arrived at the scene. It looks like the council of despair had decided to attack the city and do the same mass kidnapping operation as they did in Ruina. Eros did not look happy about this at all. In fact Shiebe had never seen him this angry before.
Eros: Take her away..Make sure she's alive..I've got questions
"Yes Sir"
Standing behind him were about 10 men wearing a military uniform with hats on. They entered the palace and tied the woman up using some kind of black rope. They then lifted her up and took her outside.
Eros: The 3 of you have done well to capture her. I'm proud.
No one really was in the mood to talk. Not after what the woman had said. Shiebe thought about his parents and wondered if they were converted. He immediately put the idea down knowing his parents personalities and strength it was almost impossible for them to be converted. Hell he didn't even know if they were captured they probably escaped like him. The same for Luni.
Shiebe: Where were you? The servants were gone and your wives were nowhere to be seen.
Shiebe was the first to break the mood and silence in the atmosphere
Eros:...They were with me..
They tone that he had replied to Shiebe with instantly told him that he doesn't need to know anymore than that. He was familiar as it was the same tone that his dad in his past life would talk to him with.
Eros: You Three should get some rest. I will handle the clean up.
Eros had left the palace again not waiting for a reply.
Maz: Well that certainly was a night of a lifetime
Zaneff nodded her head.
Shiebe: Yeah
