Book 3: Chapter 9.2: Fracture at the Station Part II

Scarlet

Fortunately it doesnt take me long to reach the station. But one thing about the trip does bother me a little.

I glance behind me as I run straight into the vast station to find Blaze still following me.

Why is he here?

Im in too much of a hurry to stop and question him though, instead rushing straight into the building and pausing for a moment to raise the sensitivity of my ears again and listen for Arthurs voice. And after a few seconds of searching, during which my tail catches up to me and stops, I hear his voice coming from a place only several dozen meters down, inside of the car.

And hes cussing. Which isnt a good sign.

I open my eyes before immediately running in his direction, ignoring the man who is still following me. Which is getting creepy at this point.

Doesnt he have somewhere else to be right now? Or did he follow because he knew I was going to a Class II Fracture?

Actually, didnt he say something about a duel before? I wasnt really paying much attention to that part.

I think he mentioned his father wanting him to challenge you to a duel when youre strong enough, Tar comments as I run towards Arthurs voice as fast as I can.

Ridiculous. But not something Im against.

Im always up for a battle.

You really are a battle junky, Tar mutters, sounding just as tense as I am despite this conversation.

At some point though I stop hearing Arthurs voice. Which cant be a good sign. So I start using blood sacrifice even more to increase my speed, still with Blaze following right next to me, keeping up with his much higher level.

This time when he sees me sending him a weird look though, he finally explains himself, I still need to get your contact information for that duel.

He nods his head as he finally stands up, briefly sending a slightly creeped out glance towards Blaze before he asks, And who is this?

Just someone whos been following me around for a while now, I answer him with a dismissive shrug before asking, So whats your magic?

Arthur turns back to me and smirks slightly as he answers, Shadowborne magic.

Oh? I mutter, startled a little at that. Then I hear Blaze stating, Thats a rare one. And Im pretty sure its the same one Uncle Black has.

I glance at Blaze before asking, Uncle?

Blaze nods and says, Yeah. Black and Red are close in a way, so Black visited a lot while I was a kid.

Interesting. Im starting to wonder if Black just likes kids considering how he actually briefly brought up the idea of adopting me before he blew that idea away just as quickly as he brought it up.

Not that Im a kid though, considering Im nineteen. So any adoption at this point would just be figurative and for social benefit.

Wait, so Arthur has the same magic as Black? Thats cool. Would also explain why he was contracted if he had that sort of potential.

Makes me wonder why he wasnt contracted back when Belle was though.

I turn back to Arthur to find him looking pleasantly surprised by that fact.

Then a fae suddenly appears in front of us before it bows towards the tanuki currently lying on my shoulder, stating, Greetings, Tenth Prince Tarankar.

Tar responds rather briefly, You may rise.

Silence passes as I stare at the fae for several seconds, and out of the corner of my eye, I find Blaze looking between the fae and my ears a few times.

Then I cant help but turn to Arthur and ask, So whys your fae in the form of a wolf?
