I'm back after all this time XD I promise I will complete this ASAP, so enjoy it!
LancelotOkay,let’sgo backto before all of this.Aran plannedon attractingthe troops that Asher brought with him back to my estate by using Asher’s Manaas a force of attraction. But by doing so, there is also a chance to attract Avery.I was betting on the troops to arrive first before Avery, but lo and behold!“Lancelot, please stay behind me.” Asher said in a cautious defence. Iwasn’table to make out his reasons of being overprotective until late in the game, as behind that dense, and clearly deadly fog, a figure made its way towards the beamed Mana coming from th
Lancelot’s POV [A few minutes before the flashing light…] “This feels like a hive plan.” Aran suddenly commented. I was escorting all the servants upstairs after we expanded the barrier to cover up a bigger area, when I shot him a pointy look. “Aren’t you the one who made that plan, though?” I retorted. After all this time, I wasn’t sure whether I should be polite with Aran or not, considering his status, but he seemed okay with my treatment towards him, so I guess I’ll just continue with my current behaviour. Aran laughed at my statement. “Well, now that we look at all the plan in motion, I couldn’t help but want to say that.” I stayed silent; neither verbally agreeing or disagreeing. In truth, I see the relevance in Aran’s blurting. The plan conducted by Aran is simple and appealing, yet contains its own risks. I recalled what Aran had said just before we started this plan. “We will expand the barrier until it covers a large margin of the area above. It’s okay even if not all
Izana’s POVThe flow of magic is a mess in this place. How could I not see the cracks and knots of the chasms, as if I’ve never seen a flawed magic before?I picked myself up and reshuffled my strategies. The area around me seemed to be the town centre, given that I’ve seen those familiar lamp posts and pattern of the floor before. Still, there is no one in sight, which adds to the peculiar feeling that I have. Are they hiding somewhere? Or have Avery taken them hostage? I guess in this thick smog, on could never tell.I tried to ease the building irritation inside of me because of the magenta aura that limits my eyesight. All it takes was a single snap of my fingers and all of this abhorrent aura will perish just like that, but if I were to do that, won’t Lancelot get mad at me? And won’t it endanger them if I were to disperse it and Avery were close to them? The smog also has a subtle Mana blocking properties, so I can’t fee
Lancelot’s POV“Uhm, excuse me.” A female voice appeared, snapping me from my thoughts.“What is it?” Asher replied to the voice. When I turned to look at who he was speaking, the first thing that I noticed was that sparkling blonde hair, and those ears.“The chef was concerned about whether you people have eaten, so he prepared a little meal as enjoyment.” She informed, while holding a tray of cheese sandwich and a teapot. After being given permission, she set the tray down in between where Aran and Rokhan sat, and poured some tea for us.“Thank you.” I told her. Despite her smooth motion in pouring the tea, I can see a little blush on her cheeks. That somehow sent me in a state of bliss, because if I may highlight it again.Elves are beautiful.And the girl who was serving snacks to us is an elf.The elf maid was probably happy being thanked to, because I became the
Lancelot’s POV“Oh, thank goodness you’re alive, My Lord! You don’t know how worried I was when you suddenly disappeared like that!” Hans wailed as he grabbed both of my hands. Behind him, were all the servants of the County, all hoarding me and were expressing their concern of me.“Thank you, but I am fine, as you can see.” I replied, accompanied with a troubled chuckle. Even in dire situations, they never failed to light up my mood.“Lord Lancelot.” A voice greeted me. I looked around the crowd and noticed Rokhan standing at a safe distance from the crowd. He probably didn’t want to get squashed like I did.“If you will, we need to talk for a moment, along with Lord Aran and His Highness.” He pointed his gaze at me, then slightly glanced at both Aran and Asher, who was somewhere nearby.“Ehhh that’s unfair! Let us in on the discussion too, we want to know what hap
Lancelot’s POVThe first thought that I have in mind when I arrived at Isaiya was; where is my feet? I mean, I couldn’t see a thing apart from things that are very close to me, as an example, Asher’s hand that was holding mine.“Are you hurt anywhere?” Asher’s voice appeared, but I couldn’t make out his face that much, all because of the thick smog-like magenta aura all around us.“I’m fine.” I replied.“Thank goodness.” There was a hint of relief in his tone when he said that.“Where are we, by the way? I can’t see anything with all this smog.” I paused a bit as I looked around. “It seems we are also separated from everyone else.”“Indeed.” Asher said, agreeing to my comment. “Let’s try to get the feel of our surroundings first. I’ll try sensing Izana’s aura in the meantime.”The two of us be
