Chapter 325 - The Ark Of Getting The Kids Out

The Rukh appeared in her arms, diving in for a hug. Luckily, it was in its compact form. Otherwise, the area would get destroyed. And Ysabeau would get flung back to the starting point.

"So, you plan to load them up on this thing and take them away?" asked Gab, looking at the small creature.

"Yea, that's the simpler way to put it into words."

Fluffy had her saddle on when she arrived, but it looked quite small. The whole bird looks too small to even carry a single child out of the area.

"I don't think it is strong enough to carry them all out of here," said Gab.

"The same way it came, the same it will return. All our Ancient Relics can be commanded in any place, anytime. So, vice-versa, I can send Fluffy to any of the Founders' areas. In this case, my husband knows about the situation and he has agreed to help out."

"So that means, all of your Relics can appear anywhere you like and you can teleport them to wherever you need?" asked Gab, with his eyes wide.

"Not exactly. It can only appear if one of us is in the area to receive it. Like now, I can only send it to Mavislin, Gillian, Raiyen, Z, and Baldwin. I'll never send anything to Raiyen since I wouldn't know where or when he would be. Mavislin is out of the question for this situation."

"Z and Baldwin are both away at their missions so it would inconvenient to send the kids their way. Thus, it leaves only my husband, who is spending his time collecting the current data and recording them down."

"Ah, so that's how your Relics work," replied Gab.

Ysabeau then ordered the Rukh to change into its teenage form, which was enough to hold five of the youngest kids. As they got loaded up onto its back, Ysabeau firmly demonstrated for them to hold onto the saddle. But for safety, she also bounded their legs.

"it would be a quick trip, about a few minutes."

She then patted Fluffy's head and whispered for her to back. The creature nodded and vanished, leaving a breeze in its wake. A few minutes later, it returned with a handwritten note.

'I got the brats. They are quite far gone. But they can be saved, I'll just use simple healing spells and give them some bowls of soup. Baldwin has returned, so he'll help. From; Gil'.

"I wonder if that Angry Man will help, or he'll just toss the kids into oblivion," laughed Ysabeau as she read that handwritten note.

"Hey! Please don't say that, we spent the past hour trying to save those kids..." scolded Gab, as he whipped around to look at Ysabeau's figure.

The High Queen stared at him for a split second before laughing. Gab seemed offended.

"What's so funny? I'm not joking, you know. I know that the guy's temper, we'll be lucky if he hasn't hacked off a brat's head yet," said Gab, strapping a kid onto Fluffy's back.

"I'm gonna get a hernia if I don't get to laugh out loud soon..." said Ysabeau, as she got another kid up.

The child looked confused about why she was laughing. Ysabeau was finally calm enough to instruct the set of kids before sending Fluffy on her way. The High Queen then looked at Gab, who wasn't very pleased with being laughed at.

"Listen, 'Oblivion' can mean 'nothingness'. But in Magecraft terms, especially for Akis, 'Oblivion' is a generic term to call an area that can be morphed into anything the Mage wants. In this case, within the Old Chapel, we call the rooms 'Oblivion'."

"So, when I say that Baldwin would just toss them into Oblivion, what I meant was that they would be placed into a giant room fit for the kids. And most probably;y let the Old Chapel take care of them, by giving them essentials to recover," explained Ysabeua, smiling.

"Well, how was I supposed to know that? Have you seen the way that guy acts?! He looks like he's about to rip off a child's head just because that kid stole candy," murmured Gab, giving a rough sigh.

"Baldwin had a kid once. He's got a soft spot when it comes to kids. However, he does have a knack for scolding those naughty ones. But never once I've seen him laid a finger on them. He is verbally harsh but physically caring. He shows care to kids in other ways, not commonly understood."

"I'm surprised that he did, he doesn't seem the type to have a family or kids. He does seem to be the type that promotes family violence," said Gab, as they awaited Fluffy's return.

When the Rukh came back, the creature instantly headbutted Gab square in the forehead.
