Chapter 97 - Fire Bunny

"Now. We survive. If a Continent as technologically ahead as Kastaria failed to protect their Continent. We have less chances. 400,000 people died in Kastaria like they were nothing."

Said his father as he chewed on some Whale meat. He is crazy without a doubt but he for sure has the capability to show grief and solitude. He sacrificed himself for Ignis after all.

"So all we can do is just stand and wait? Waiting for the end? There has to be another way."

Said Mogranius in grief. Ignis is sure in a very bad situation but he doesn't want to see it or any other Continent destroyed. He has a specific mindset, although commonly getting jealous, he thinks that with enough work, anything is to be over comed.

"Well we can stand and wait like sitting ducks. But a special little bunny saw what it wasn't supposed too, which gave Ignis more hope.

You didn't teleport 200 years through time and specifically arrive in Gaster Kingdom near the source in a coincidence. I sense destiny in you, son."

Said his father with clear proudness on his face.

"Yes sometimes i lose sleep thinking about that. But overthinking won't win this war. Either against the ill.u.s.tratios or the Demons. But how is the bunny special and what did it see?"

Said Mogranius in greater curiosity. Throughout life, behind sarcasm, thirst and curiosity for knowledge has helped him beat his Inner Demon of Rage. He of course is very willing to protect Ignis but also very happy to learn something new, abnormal and interesting.

"You were raised with a good mindset my son. I'm proud of you."

He looked at Mogranius in pride and added

"The Bunny however, is an evolved creature. It has a rather interesting feature. Also a pet specifically to a very rare species. A Kastarian!"

Said his father with a Dramatic tone to the "Kastarian" part.

Mograniuses Jaw dropped as he heard what his father told. He couldn't believe that there are more Kastarians. Alive.

Even those who teleported out of Kastaria, died of a heart attack due to their freak like features as a result, Organs failing to function properly due to their relocation or simply killed by people who didn't understand what they were seeing.

"But you said that most who tried to teleport, had fatal results. How did this one survive?"

"He didn't teleport. He was washed on the beaches of Ignis. You even met him! He is disguised as an Ignite."

"Who could that be? It's not Eric. Is it? If he hid his identity, I will boil him alive.

Oh no wait. Eric has ears. Or does he? Wait no. Yes. No he does."

Mogranius was found arguing with himself.

"No calm down. It's Not Eric. The Kastarian, apart from Alia, isn't in your group."

"Then who is it?"

"King Michael."

"What?"

"Yes. It's King Michael."

"You mean the King of Gaster Kingdom?"

"The same! He has pure intentions. He is trustworthy, he will be our way to victory against the "Peaceful Demons!"

"How do you know all of this?"

"His pet bunny!"

He yelled in a thin tone and continued

"I've been observing the bunny specifically when I discovered her rather unusual evolution when i somehow ran across her eyesight through countless browsing. I was observing bunnies for a very important researchable reason."

He tried to cover the truth but it was clear that he just loves cute bunnies.

"What evolution did the bunny face? And how did she face an evolution. If the Demons are down here, how could she eat one up there. And why would she eat one. Why would a bunny eat any meat in particular actually?"

Mogranius has way to many questions about this topic. What could a bunny evolve too? An angry bunny?

"Oh you mean Marixha? She's a sweetheart."

"Marixha? Cute name. But what power does she have?"

"You know a bunnies behind? Her rump!"

"Yes?"

"She shoots fire out of it. Literally shoots fire out of her rump. I don't know how she evolved like that, but she has that highly abnormal power!"

"I would love to research her powers all day long. I wouldn't get tired of it."

Said Mogranius in a l.u.s.t for knowledge and added

"So through her eyes, you saw Michael?"

"Yes. With his hair he managed to cover his ears rather well. That's why you weren't able to notice his earless features."

"He had hair all the way down to his sideburns. Even though he had his hair tied behind his head, he would have easily hid ears in those thick hair if he pleased. I guess that's how he hid his true identity. But why would he hide it?"

"He comes from a Continent no outsider knew existed and he doesn't have ears. It's not easy to believe a story like that. I sure wouldn't."

"Reasonable. But what help will he be to us?"

"Even though he is from Kastaria, he has Fire Controlling abilities. He wasn't born with them, he evolved in to them. He obtained the genes. Meaning he has at least researched Demons for a long while."

"So he knows more of this Demonic topic. He can offer help if we ask him to?"

"Precisely. I have many eyes seeing for me but i don't know nearly enough as he does about the Demonic Situation! He can provide big help!"

"Do you think he can provide help about how to stop these Demons? Or at least where they are coming from? I doubt that they appear out of thin air. There has to be more to this!"
