Oh my gosh I didn''t expected that
|You think your hot because you''re tall, ''scar face''.|(Sila)
|What did you say ''ojou-sama'' ?!|(Imperion)
|You should speak in your birth language ''scar face'', You look dumb speaking in Japanese.|(Sila)
|And you should watch your language ''ojou-sama'', you look like spoiled brat speaking like that.|(Imperion)
*gulp*(Sila and Imperion)
|Do ya two want ta have a chat with my fist ? If no ya better shut tha fuck up. It''s a festival this week and I don''t want yar petty rivalry ta spoil it. Kapish ?|(Apocalypse)
They both nodded and made peace by holding each other hand. Sigh, Sila and Imperion really don''t get along ... wait Sila just doesn''t get along with everybody except for Barandian and Kimia. She really is troublesome.
This week is the Dragon festival, it is in honor of the dragon goddess and a bischop of the church will come to the capital for religious reason if it was as usual I would try to avoid contact with him but given the current situation with the organization and all I must know how much the church''s higher ups know about us.
And I must bring my wives on a date too so I can''t let people like her ruin the week.
|Anyway since ya, Barandian and Kimia have nothing ta do this week go patrol around tha city, words say that a stampede is coming and I''d like ta know when so we don''t get caught off guard. Don''t engage, just watch and report. Interfer only if ya deem it necessary.|(Apocalypse)
Sila grinded her teeth but still agreed knowing that it was the payment for letting them stay here, on Earth just a night in a mansion like mine would cost several hundreds of euros so they got it well just having to do mischevious work for me.
She leaves and we finaly have some quiet, I take out a cigarette and give another one to Imperion. I light them on I inhale and breath out smoke.
|So where are ya going ta take jean ?|(Apocalypse)
|Maybe to the fountain then to a restaurant, we could hit the king statues spot and then watch the magic show and once the day is finished I''ll propose.|(Imperion)
|Ya have it planned don''t ya, well anyway I hope tha stanped won''t get too close ta us, I don''t really want ta appeal too much ta tha bischop.|(Apocalypse)
|Sigh, wish it was like in the old day, someone piss us off and we make him taste pain but nooo, now we are adults and we must behave ourselves.|(Imperion)
|Don''t worry I am sure we''ll have a time when we can go all out, I even think that moment is getting closer. After the title holder are reunited I am going ta search for my mother and I think I''ll meet one or two hostile dragons on tha way.|(Apocalypse)
I said as I puff the last cloud of smoke my cigarette could handle, I burn it completly using a little of magic and go to where Eali is, this is the first day and I take her to a date in first. She is waiting at the mansion''s gate, she is wearing a purple dress and a red ribbon tied like a flower.
|Cal, shall we go ?|(Eali)
|Of course Ea, let''s go ta our date.|(Apocalypse)
We hold hands and we walk to the city, I carry Eali on the way so we can arrive faster, Idgar salute us at the gate and I put Eali down and we start to walk holding hands again. There is a lot of people in the street, many commoner but carriage are often seen.
|It''s rare to see the city so crowed in the morning.|(Eali)
|Yeah, I heard the bischop this time is well liked by the people so of course they would come in number .... but it makes me uneasy. I always hated religious freak back home, even broke tha teeth of some them.|(Apocalypse)
|I don''t really hate them myself .... back in mine only very pous guard wouldn''t hurt us too much saying that we also worshipped the dragon therefore we shouldn''t have a fate even more cruel than we already had.|(Eali)
|Well anyway we should look ta the good the mechant brought with them, maybe they have some interesting coming from the other continents or something like that.|(Apocalypse)If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Eali nodded and we went to the merchants stall, there wasn''t anything interesting except some silvery bell, Eali attached them to her ribbon and we continued our tour. We passed by the orphenage and gave them sweet. Maybe I should really go back on Earth .... they got more useful place for a date, you know things like the cinema and the shopping mall. I''d love to see Eali in modern clothing.
We go to a restaurant and while I was ordering our meal.
|So we''d like an orc steak with a gartar salad, as for the drink I''d take a dwarven ale and my wife would like some silvery wine....|(Apocalypse)
|Hey what is a pitiful demi-human doing here dressed like that, has this country fallen so far that even those beast are allowed in place for the good people.|(Voice)
I turn around and see a group of three people in silver and gold armor around Eali who is about to snap. I tell the clerk to send the order to that table once it is cooked and walk to Eali. The men are growing irritated and so I am, I put my hand on the shoulder of the one who looks like a leader who was going to hit her.
|Who do you think you are for touching a knight of the church.|(Douchebag in armor)
I release my Ki to make me seem even more intimidating that I already am, just earlier Eali told me how the religious guard were nice and now the church''s knight dare do something like that. I think my eyes already became red and I can feel my teeth growing sharper.
|In Guarmille an attempt at a noble or his family''s safety is punished by death .... tell me fuckers, do ya really think I am going ta let ya go away when ya tried ta hit my wife. Racism is punished equally. As the Head of the Crimson family I sentence ya ta death, ya have tha right ta ask for duel and let the dragon goddess decide who''s is wrong and who''s right.|(Apocalypse)
For the foreigners I am known as Apocalypse crimson, Vermillion and Crimson sound a lot like each other in common so it was the only way to keep a name familiar too mine. In common Vermillion is ... Vermillion and crimson is Vermillon, yeah that''s conveniant.
|Wh-who do you think you are ?!|(douchebag in armor)
|I take that it is a duel.|(Apocalypse)
I grab him by the throat and throw him outside the restaurant, I do the same to his subordonate, I slowly go down the stairs that lead to the street where the folks are forming a circle to see the comotion.
|I, The duke Apocalypse Crimson , challenge ya ta a duel ta give ya a chance ta wash away yar sins against a noble and his family.|(Apocalypse)
|What the crimson duke is judging kinghts of the church ?!| |The bone breaker is going to fight !| |Fuck those poor guys won''t even know what happened to them !|(crowd)
The three joke stood up and took out their weapons and charged at me, I make them fly with a brush of my backhand, I took the final step and snapped.
|IS THE CHURCH SUCH A JOKE THAT ITS KNIGHTS DON''T EVEN INTRODUCE THEMSELVES BEFORE A DUEL, DO I NEED TO KILL YOU AND ALL YOUR HOUSEHOLD OR WILL YOU STOP BEING SUCH A DISGRACE TO THE SON OF FORGIVENESS !!|(Apocalypse)
During my free time I experimented if I could force a change of my form and I managed to do it, although still far from perfect I learned that memories are useful, if I think of a happy memory I resonate with my dragon side but if it is a bad memory then it is the Tytan side.
Anyway, over all my inner turmoil I think of the times I spent with my friend back in Mundus, my times here with Eali and and the other and I feel the scales grow on my body, The wings grow in my back and my teeth became even sharper than they already were. My eyesight, hearing, and sense of smell are enhanced to a sickening point. I unfold my wings and gaze upon the three ants in front of me, I try my best not to show my Tytan side.
|S-Selfir of Grandbloom a-a-accept your duel.|(Selfir)
|Heran of Kerm a-ccept the duel.|(Heran)
|I ain''t dying here !|(Douchebag in armor)
The douchebag in armor started to run in the opposite direction only to collapse like the other two while I am standing near the corpses of the douchebag with his head in my hand, I let it fall and spit on it before turning away and taking back my human form .. well there still the scales here and there and slitted eyes but you know, human enough.
|Joke of a knight.|(Apocalypse)
|What the Crimson duke was a dragon-newt !| |He killed them so fast I didn''t even saw it happen.| |Well I guess the church won''t be able to say a thing if their knights were killed by a dragon-newt.|(Crowd)
I go back inside and sit a my table, I think it would be nice if the stampede came here after all, I need to blew some steam off. When the clerk give us our food he looks anxious so I give him my best smile and a few gold coins before eating. When we have fnished we leave and I sigh at the sight of the body being carried away.
|Way ta ruin tha fun.|(Apocalypse)
|What do you mean ? My knight in shiny armor saved me again, I can''t be happier.|(Eali)
I stop walking and look at her then smile before grabbing her and putting her on my shoulder.
|Then let me protect my princess from up close.|(Apocalypse)
|Hehehe, are you sure it is not because you want to fell my butt you perverted knight.|(Eali)
|That''s really rude ta say that ta someone who just try ta be courteous.|(Apocalypse)
|Oh come on my knight I am just teasing you.|(Eali)
She pinched my cheek and we keep on walking while happily chatting. We go to the library since Eali has interest in the local stories, I''ve read some of them and I can''t really say I am hooked by them but there are some good ones. She search among the kids story and take out a book and give it to me.
I look at the cover, the title is ''The doomed children'' .... fucking ominous title for a bed story, I open the it and flip the pages, when I close the book and feel my knees go weak and I support myself with one the shelves. I am sweating and I let the book fall on the ground, whe it finaly land I feel like an eternity has passed my eyes wander left and right making me dizzy.
|Cal ! What happened, are you okay ?!|(Eali)
I look at her and try to steady my breathing, my eyes lock with hers, I whipe the sweat from forehead, pick the book up and sit down.
|L-listen I know this might be sudden but y-you might have a sister-in-law.|(Apocalypse)
|What ?!|(Eali)
