No, Alia says without letting explain anything the mont I ntioned my plan to her. And Allen just looks at with a tired frown on his face as he says, Did you really abandon a changeling to to co up with this ridiculous plan?
Hey! Its not ridiculous! I exclaim, crossing my arms from my place back in Allens office as the three of us completely ignore the changeling that is currently tied up in the corner. A changeling I may or may not have forgotten earlier.
You absolutely forgot him, Tar comnts, sounding more than a little amused.
Okay, so I forgot him.
Sue .
He snorts.
Really? Allen says, taking the lead against . What part of going to Tartarus where your Grandfather would imdiately find you is a sound idea? Youre the only hope we have in this war!
Well you dont have to worry on that front, because Gramps wont stop from doing anything, I tell him with a light shrug. And when hes about to argue with that fact, both Tar and Alia nod their heads in agreent with a short, Yeah, and, Shes right, making him shut his mouth imdiately.
Deciding to explain, I say, I could tell just from our negotiations that Gramps isnt feeling entirely into this war anymore. Not when Ive given him an out that he can take, and not when he knows I want the war to end. So he wont stop from doing what I want. I purse my lips and glance to the side as I add, Although he might drop by for a visit and talk my ear off for a while
Tar snorts at that, anwhile I notice a frightened look showing on the bound changelings face for so reason.
Allen closes his eyes and rubs his temples with a sigh.
I an, its the truth, I add with a shrug. And I notice Alia trying to smother a smirk of amusent on her face.
Thats not the issue, Alia says after calming down. Although I still see the corners of her lips trying to quirk upwards. The problem is if one of the Demon Lords aside from your father find you and capture you. While your father and grandfather wont do anything to stop you, they also wont just let you go if so other demon manages to capture you as long as the demon treats you well. Theyll just make it a challenge for you to escape on your own again.
I raise a brow at that and comnt, And why exactly should I be worried about that? Its not like Im planning on being captured, and the sa would happen here on Earth. And besides, I grin, you Knights managed to conceal yourselves while on Tartarus, so why cant you do the sa to ?
Alia opens her mouth to reply, only to close it again when another voice enters the conversation, Why, my lovely pup, I would love to help you!
Everyone in the room turns to find Black just lying down tossing a ball into the air on one of the sofas, sohow having made it there without a single one of us noticing.
You can knock, you know Allen mutters without much conviction.
Black ignores him as he says, Co on out Gabs!
If this was what you pulled out here for, I will agree, Purple says after suddenly appearing in the corner of the room. But for so reason I feel like shes been there for a while. Just that we never noticed her for so reason.
Seriously theres a door Allen mutters once again, but just like the last ti, hes ignored.
Why are you willing to help her? Alia asks, sounding slightly defensive as she moves between and Black, apparently not worried about Purple behind us.
Black just catches the ball once more and looks at her with a raised brow while saying, I an, I owe her a couple favors, now dont I? He glances at with an amused smirk on his face. You never did check in on those, little puppy!
Do not punch him in the face. Do not punch him in the face. Do not punch him in the face.
I take a deep breath and let it out. Then I make eye contact with him and smile, saying, So youll help stay hidden on Tartarus?
Yep! he exclaims, a bright smile stretching across his face as if my own smile made him happy. Then he nods towards Purple and adds, And Gabs here will to. He leans in towards and whispers, acting like everyone in the room cant hear him, She owes a teensy little favor!
Wait, the Purple Knight owes the Black Knight a favor?
I glance at Purple, only to find her eyes still closed just like theyve been since we first saw her here. And I only just now notice that shes in her young form, the woman wearing all purple of a very pale shade that matches her long hair, with her glowing purple eyes sticking out under the cowl of her robe even with her eyes closed, proving unable to keep the purple light hidden behind her eye lids.
Wonder what he did to get her to owe him? Normally the Purple Knight is completely detached from regular affairs of Earth.
Out of nowhere, Black appears right in front of my face, the cowl of his cloak up over his face and a mask of shadows covering anything and everything underneath it except the glowing blue eyes that I can see peering through the shadows.
So are you ready, Scarlet Art Asger de Archeron, daughter of the Blood Calamity and granddaughter to the Demon King? Blacks voice cos out distorted, and his tone instantly makes realize that his personality has switched.
Oh shit.
Then a wave of shadows spreads out to cover the room before I find myself and everyone else right in front of a Class IV Gate located sowhere in demon territory. And the mont I say, Im ready, I feel myself being pushed towards the gate.
I turn back around to look behind , only to find Black and Purple both raising their hands towards as they begin chanting sothing.
A ritual skill.
Black and Purple magic in the form of shadows and purple light begin to leave their hands before rging as they continue making their way towards . Then the magic forms a thin layer over my body and fades away as if it never existed.
May your hunt be fruitful, Black states, his voice devoid of emotion. anwhile Purple just nods her head.
And without a word of warning, I feel myself being pushed through the Gate with Alia and Allen waving at and shouting to stay safe.
