Chapter 17

The dark knight charge towards Lumia, swinging his blade at her, and she parried it hard. Before swinging her sword back at him, which he dodge, by steping back, and then taking another swing, which Lumia parried again. Knocking him off balance as she swings her sword back at him, making him step back again.

"Is this all your god abilities can do?"

Lumia goes on the offensive swinging at him constantly, at insane speeds, as he tries his best to block her attacks. Which proves to be hard, as her strikes made the air explode with a boom, sending a gust of wind outward, and making the knight step back with every swing. Yuni place her hands against her dress, trying to keep it down, same with the other women, while the goblins looked away. Lumia then held her sword with both hands and swung, breaking his guard, and knocking him back fifty feet. Lumia then suddenly appear in front of him and swung her sword down. Which he block with his sword, but unable to handle the force of her swing, he was smash into the ground. Making the ground shake as a cloud of dirt surrounded them. Lumia then appear in front of Yuni and the others suddenly, before punching the dark knight in the chest, sending him back, and away from them.

"Running from me already? And here I thought you were a man."

He then started coughing and the shadows underneath him swallowed him, as a voice said, "Guess this is as far as he can go, but next time we meet we'll be far stronger."

Soon their surrounding got really quiet, so Lumia reverted back to her original state and color. Before dropping onto her hands and knees, panting hard, as everyone came closer to her, and surrounds her.

"Are you okay, Lumi?"

As Yuni ask that, she place her hands on Lumia's shoulder, but instead of receiving a reply she was push onto the ground, and Lumia planted her lips on Yuni's. She gave Yuni a hot and passionate kiss for ten minutes, before finally breaking it, and staring into each other's eyes. They weren't given time to enjoy themselves, as they were being watch, and so therefore snap back to reality.

"Sorry that you guys had to watch that."

Lumia apologize to the goblins and women, while helping Yuni to her feet. The women were blushing and the goblins said, "It's alright. Though it be wise to get a private room, next time."

"Thank you. Then... I guess it's time we head back."

"I see, then we'll leave the ladies with you and go back home."

"Thank you, but before you go, I would like to repay you for the help."

"Don't worry about it, miss. If we wanted to be payed we would've asked for it."

"I see, then let me give you this."

Lumia magically summon a letter and handed it to them. They stared at it wondering what it was.

"If you need my help, then write it down, and put it in this. The letter will instantly teleport to me and I'll do my best to assist you."

"Is that really alright with you Missy?"

Lumia nodded her head and they took the letter, putting it away in a pouch. The goblins walked away, waving goodbye, and so Lumia's group worked their way back to the village. Once they made it back, to their surprise, they saw a group of men and women building a campfire in the middle. Lumia walked over to them and they were scared at first, but after some explaining they calm down. They then explain their story of why they were there, a man name Vain had rescue them, and they were on their way back to the kingdom. When it started to get dark, so Vain asked Zec for the closest village, only to find it was destroyed. He didn't care and suggested they make camp here for today. Before continuing the journey back to the kingdom.

After they were done talking, Vain and Freena had just return from hunting, and he placed two bags down. One with some freshly caught fish and the other filled with dead rabbits. Vain walked away from the group and stood against a well. Everyone worked together cleaning and skinning the animals, while Vain stayed alert. Lumia then pulled out some extra stuff they could use for cooking. So they made rabbit stew and fried fish. Everyone ate their fill and they even invited Vain to join them, but he refused.

Soon it was time to sleep, so Lumia took off her coat, and laid it on the ground for Yuni. She laid down on it and rest her head on Lumia's lap. While Freena sat down next to Vain and rest against the well. Vain saw what she was doing, sigh, then took off his coat, wrapped it around her, and sat down, setting his weapon on the ground. Freena smiled at him and laid her head down on his lap. After some time pass and everyone were sound asleep, except Lumia and Vain. Lumia decided to start talking to Vain telepathically, since they were a good distance apart.

"Your new wife?"

"Stupid."

"I'll take that as a no. So, why are you letting her rest on you?"

"Who knows? She's free to do what she wants."

Lumia giggle as she says, "I see, still as nice as ever."

"Hmph, I'm not nice."

"Yeah, yeah, I know. Ah anyway I met someone interesting today."

"I see."

"Still as hard as ever to talk with. Aren't you at least interested?"

"Not really. I don't need to care about their stinkin a*s. Once they get in my way I'll cut them in two."

"I see, you're still as reckless as ever. Something's never change."

"Yep."

"Well goodnight."

"Wait."

"Hm???"

"Do you know who CT is?"

"CT... no I don't. Me and Void, both, haven't met him yet."

"I see."

Lumia then went to sleep and Vain stayed up through the night, keeping watch over everyone. As Void is walking besides his knights, who are on horses, when he sneezed.

One of the knights ask, "Are you okay, your majesty?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

As soon as Void reply, a call from Tasha came, so Void created a magic circle, and placed it next to his ear, "What is it?"

"Master Void the magic academy wishes to know if you're available."

"I have a lot of work to do, but what do they need?"

"They're wondering if you're able to teach some of the new students a thing or two about magic. If it's not possible, I'll be sure to tell them."

"No, it's possible. It's been a while since I've been really busy. So guess it's a good time to use this magic. Make sure they bring all the students they can."

"As you wish, master Void."

Tasha hung up the call and Void move his hand away from his ear. Before creating two magic circles and out of the circles came two copies of himself. One of the copies stayed behind with the knights, while the other one and Void ran towards the kingdom of Elance at high speed.
