Chapter 219: Chapter 219
Arthur's Point of View
The Island
"Arthur?" Cassidy said softly as she stepped next to me.
"Mmh?" I mumbled back.
"Ya gonna be okay?" She inquired. Continue reading on No_veLbIn
Not taking my eyes off the horizon, I asked a question back. "Why do you ask?"
Ziah spoke from behind me. "Probably because you've been staring off into the horizon for the last few minutes ignoring everyone, Sir."
Elincia and Arceana moved next to me on each side as Cassidy made way for them. "Is something troubling you?" The Blonde High Elf inquired.
Arceana fiddled with her scepter in the sand. "If there is something on your mind-"
"Do either of you have enough magic to teleport everyone back to Lestrania?" I inquired.
The two sisters leaned forward and shared a glance with one another as Ayda spoke up from behind me. "Unlikely. Priestess Elincia is still recovering from last night and Priestess Arceana is doing the same. She held a shield for a long time last night during your battle with the Demon."
Both Demons had their eyes on me as they studied me. "This is him?" The bandages one inquired to his companion in probably one of the deepest voices I have ever heard. "Doesn't look like much."
"Careful." I warned in a darker tone.
The Demon scoffed, and the red-haired one replied. "The eyes match. There is no one else with eyes like that." He informed the other Demon before giving me a pointed look. "This is the Anomaly that appeared over two thousand years ago."
My eyes narrowed before I gestured back to everyone behind me. "Clearly, you two are here to talk, or they'd all be dead. Let them go, and we can discuss whatever it is you're here for."
"I find that having incentive makes one more forthcoming." The redhead quickly shot back.
Rolling my shoulders slightly, I summoned a lighter Gravity Pillar around them. "Incentive isn't needed, nor are your threats. Let them go. Now."
The bandaged one scoffed. "Cease your pointless threats. We know that you wouldn't want anything to happen to them. We'll talk and see what happens moving forward." The redhead quickly responded as his magic flared in his hands. "However, I will, in good faith, loosen my restrictions upon them so they can breathe more easily."
Coughs could be heard behind me, along with people sucking in air. Arceana and Elincia moved to respond, but I held up a hand to stop them as I lifted my Gravity Pillar from the two Demons. Their magic was still around their throats after all. With a frown, I turned my attention back to the two.
"Why're you here?" I inquired.
"For you, of course." He answered while the bandaged Demon rolled his eyes, annoyed before crossing his arms.
"What could you possibly want with me?" I questioned back.
The two Demons smirked. "To ask some questions and perhaps see if you're worth the time it took to hunt you down."
"...Lovely."
