The next few days passed uneventfully making feel a bit uneasy as it was practically impossible for everything to be so quiet after what had happened in the past few days.
I was expecting so sort of chaos from the side which I had poked at but surprisingly everyone was quiet.
The days were peaceful, the afternoons made lazy and the evenings made so bored that I was growing restless. Just like this particular evening.
After having dinner, I and Roan were in my office looking over so docunts, well, I was looking at so docunts while he sat lounging in his chair with the mountains of paperwork.
"I’m so damn bored!" I groaned making Roan look at with a cocked brow.
"You should have so sha saying that in front of ," he said, "You have literally buried over here with your paperwork, I can’t even go out and play!"
I looked at him and then sighed.
"You’re not even working right now."
"My work for the day is done!"
"Ugh... I want the Golden Serpent to ss up or sothing..."
Roan sighed, "Speaking of ss up, didn’t you say you were going to expose soone’s extramarital affair?"
"Yes, that is already put into action."
"It’s so boring to not be a part of anything, you know?" Roan complained.
"Give so outdoor mission too, I want to have fun like others too."
"You chose safety over risk, Roan."
"I wouldn’t have if I’d have known it would be this boring!"
"Now, now, I’ll send you on so exciting mission when sothing cos up."
"Is that sothing ever going to co up?" Roan groaned, "I want a day off!"
"You have days off every week, Roan, and I never put overti on you, be grateful."
Roan snorted, "With the amount of work that is piling up even if I stayed here working non-stop for days it won’t be completed!"
"Well, can’t argue with that, Oasis Foundation is working surprisingly well and even the Herot is starting to get back on its feet so, I guess the paperwork has increased."
"You haven’t gone to Herot after the war started though," Roan pointed out.
"Aren’t you worried that it might get under attack since you’re not there and even that Dragon kid is not there?"
"I’ve warned the one responsible for those attacks so, he will know better than to ss with ."
"Well, what if an attack happens?" I looked at Roan with a small smile on my lips before I answered.
"I will destroy his past, present and future."
Roan stared at for a long mont before he averted his eyes from mine.
"You know it sounds really scary when you say it."
I chuckled, "Well, they should know the consequences of ssing with , right? I can’t just let so puny humans think that they can get away with anything they do against ."
Roan’s jaw slackened, "Puny humans? What about you? You’re a human too, right?"
I smirked impishly while his eyes widened, "Oi, don’t scare like that, Master. You are a human too, right?"
"What if I’m not?" I smirked placing my chin on my palm while my elbow rested over the desk.
Roan scoffed, "All right, that’s enough!"
"Heh? You’re no fun, Roan. At least guess what I could be?"
Roan gave a side glance before he sighed, "Fine, let’s treat this as a ga."
"Yay!"
"Sheesh, the enthusiasm!" Roan scoffed but a small smile graced his features before he started guessing.
"Human?"
"Seriously? You’re starting with that?"
Roan rolled his eyes, "Right, right, you’re not a human. So, are you a dwarf?"
I narrowed my eyes at him making him laugh before he shook his head and then looked at .
"From where do I look like a dwarf?" I asked and he chuckled again before his eyes suddenly went wide.
"Wait, don’t tell that you’re an elf!"
I sighed shaking my head, "I know, I’m good-looking Roan but I’m still not an elf."
Roan gave a weird look which made chuckle and he licked his lips.
"Then are you a shifter?"
"Shifters cannot use magic, dumbass."
"Who’re you calling a dumbass?!"
"Next guess."
Roan huffed angrily before he humd trying to think of sothing before he turned his eyes on again.
"Then, are you a D-"
"Master!" A loud, high-pitched voice suddenly pierced through our peace and I turned my head to look at the communication device on my desk.
"Master! Ergency! Master, there are-" Her voice crackled drowning into the cacophony of the dominating noise from her surroundings.
I grabbed the communication device and asked urgently, "What? What is it?"
"Monsters! Master, there’s monsters everywhere! Help! We can’t handle them!"
"Master!"
"Where?" I asked.
"Hezborn! An-And even in Borkshire, the wave is heading straight towards Lozar and Crigston as well. We’re trying to help evacuate people but, these monsters are way too many an-and-"
Her voice crackled again and I could hear the sounds of the roars and growls from her end along with her shouts.
I and Roan exchanged a glance before I grabbed my mask and cloak and he got to his feet too.
"We’re going to teleport so hold on!" I commanded and he quickly walked over to and held my arm.
I teleported us to Hezborn hovering a few feet above the ground with Roan hanging by my arm.
"What the hell?! Why are we in air?!" Roan shouted as his feet flailed.
But I wasn’t paying attention to him, I was taken aback as I saw the horde of rogue shifters spawning the streets and people screaming and running for their lives.
"What the hell are those things?!" Roan shouted as he looked down.
"Rogues." I answered.
"Hah?!"
I noticed the few black clothed, lithe people dashing amongst the citizens, helping them to run to a safe spot but unfortunately, it didn’t seem like there was a safe spot here.
"Roan, bring everyone to this building, I’ll take care of these pests." I pointed at the building which looked like the council building.
"All right!" Roan shouted and I lowered myself letting him land on one of the roofs.
He looked around once and I couldn’t help but feel a strange sensation settling in around .
"Roan?" I called and he turned.
"What?"
"Don’t die on , all right?" I asked making him purse his lips.
"Like hell I will!"
He leapt off the two storey building and landed on the street before I created a huge water ball into the sky drawing a few people’s attention.
The spikes erged from water ball before they darted right for the beasts that were chasing their victims. I felt my spell stab through their bodies and the rest of the people finally taking a notice of my presence.
"Hurry, over here!" I heard Roan shouting.
"It’s Master!"
"Master is here!"
"Bring the people over here!"
It was a strange thing that three towns within a night were under the seige of the monsters which were supposed to be confined into Frosthail. I hadn’t been able to get much intel but now it seed like all the pieces were falling into place on its own.
I heard a scream which made my head whip and a water spike charged over at the sound on instinct it stabbed a large wolf in the back making it release a gurgling yelp. It slumped on the ground and I flew over to the woman who had scread and noticed the baby that she was cradling in her arms.
She yelped first as I appeared out of nowhere but then she looked relieved.
"Tha-" she opened her mouth to thank but I reached out to hold her arm instead.
"No ti for that, hold the baby tight,"
I scooped her up in my arms making her gasp before I flapped my wings and flew off towards the safe building.
I let her down on the roof gently making sure that she and the baby were all right before I flew back up to scan the area.
The beasts that I had seen on the streets were all dead because of my earlier large scale attack but to be sure I activated my Mana Eyes to scan the area.
Strangely enough, I should have found a few hiding or escaping the town but there were none.
I flew back to the building and noticed Roan and the assassins whom I had stationed in that area for intel providing first aid to the injured people.
"Is everyone all right?" I asked Roan.
"Yes, their injuries aren’t that serious. There are a few casualties but, those can’t be helped."
I clenched my teeth feeling frustrated at it and Roan reached out and touched my arm giving a reassuring smile.
"It wasn’t in your hands," he said making sigh deeply.
"I’ll go check the other towns."
"Should I go along?" He asked and I looked at the people who were around us crying, wailing and tending to their wounds.
"Sure,"
"Good thing, besides, I’m having a sense of Deja Vu by tending all these people." He tried to joke and I forced a smile before we walked out of the building after I gave so brief instructions to the assassins on duty.
