Chapter 135: The Moon And Back

Nina stepped forward and kissed me, then absorbing into me, giving me a pleasant shiver. Kadence stepped up to me and we kissed, holding each other for a brief moment. I knew she was worried, but I was bringing Nina as she asked. We separated, and I pushed some of her red hair out of her face and then kissed her forehead.

"Be ready, I won't be taking Clem back with me, so expect me back within the hour, or sooner. I will take their magic, but Clem said they are all trained assassins or something like that, so I want them tied up like pigs, AND ONLY THEN, will Mesh, Buddy or Breth will search them. No one is to go near them until I get back and they are safely locked up. You need to make sure no one, not even Elise goes near these girls, do you understand me, babe? No one but the three men and you, but you stay the hell away from them, I always want a wall between you and them."

"Are you okay? Now you're the one mother henning me…" Kadence trailed off when she looked into my eyes.

"Even if there are the shittiests trained kids, they are still kids trained to do nothing but fight and not care about others. They will be dangerous if they ever can be healed. Neither Arrentia nor Nuwari can heal mental injuries or we would have done so for the other girls and Mishka. Just, don't take any chances, I can crush the city flat with a thought, but I can't protect you if I am not here. I'm taking Nina so you better damn well listen to me, and tell anyone that gives you shit to talk to me."

With that said, I leaned in to kiss Kadence and then was instantly into the air and hurtling like death incarnate towards the castle of Acosta. I had got a location from Clem earlier, so I had a rough idea where to aim, so when I was close I let my fire magic take me the rest of the way straight into the massive paint splashed mansion. I made myself bigger and created a shield with my planetary magic as I smashed in face first.

The walls exploded into toothpicks and I did a flip, bringing my feet down as timbers bounced off me with no effects. In front of me was a fat, short man, wearing a crown, and in his underwear. He was wearing a green cape with a fur mantle, and he had an alarmed look on his face as he was holding a chicken leg in his hand, using the other to pour white sauce on it. 

"Did you save any for me?"

"Is this how you enter your own home?! What is the meaning of this?"

"No, I have doors that I use, but that's because I have wives to give me shit if I were to break them. What about you, Mr. Ragna? Got any wives around?"

"What does it matter if I do? It is none of your business! You're him, aren't you? Where is that little dirtbag, Clem? I always knew he would turncoat on me!"

"Yeah, that will happen when you don't know how to run a kingdom, people won't respect you. Maybe they listen because they are scared or they are given temporary respite in the form of fancy food, but for what? What is the point of all this? I really need to know, and where is your litter of psycho kittens that I have been hearing such nice things about?"

"Ha! My Daughters have been preparing for this day ever since the fall of Landokingson. Kill me if you want, but my children will cause you no end of trouble! BWAHAHA!"

"HEY! Are you deaf?"

I picked the fat man up with telekinesis, which made him scream like a little girl and then gave him a good shake before dropping him. The King has soiled himself thoroughly, but I hadn't let my shield down so no pervasive smells got through. Ragna still hadn't got up so I pulled out a chair from a table and sat down, grabbing a couple crab apples from the table.

"So, as I asked before, why? Don't fuck with me fat man, you will die, but there is more than one way to skin a rabbit. Tell me what I want to know, and I will make it quick and painless."

Ragna sat on the floor and laughed as he soaked in his own filth. What a sad excuse for a human, this twat wasn't going to give me an answer, but as I was about to give him another good shake, Ragna started to speak.

"Even, if you catch all my children and kill them, Firesti won't let this go, we supply slaves and grain to them, and now I will be gone. Wha…"

The old King's voice stopped as we were instantly into the air, bursting through the roof and shooting up. We floated above the castle house, or what was left of it and I turned to the king.

"This is the end of the line for you, but I am going to explain something to the people before I execute you."

"You will never…"

"I have already, "got away with this," idiot. You don't seem to get it, I am not here to play by the rules, now, shut the fuck up."

I pushed out my planetary magic all the way around the city, creating a dome-like structure, but at this range, it could only control the way sound worked. I cut off all sounds and made it so only my voice would be heard. Now, it's showtime!

"People of Acosta, and All of Peridi that are here, I have an announcement! Today, King Ragna the number something is stepping down, and the old King Ragna will be taking over Henceforth. Also, slavery is outlaws and a hefty reward to each person with any information leading to the capture of slaver or anyone of the King's children. The children are not to be bothered with, just give us locations and we will deal with the problems! Now, I am sending the king on a vacation to the moon!"

A roar of cheers went up all around the city as I made a quick trip to the moon and back.
