Emerald Warrior

She sighed, "I guess it can't be helped."

He grinned, "Shall we then?" he held his arm out to her.

She gave her bag to Ruriel, "I'll be back." The she reluctantly took his arm, "Does the fact that I am involved with some one phase you?"

"No, not really." he said simply.

She sighed, "Geez..."

"If you are with someone where is he?" he looked at her.

"At the healers place." She sighed.

"Ahh I see...so you are acquainted withe the criminal." he smirked.

Her face paled and her heart sank to her stomach, "What?"

"What? Do you think I would not find out? Oh but do not worry, I have not told my brother or the authorities." he said.

"H-how?" She asked stunned.

"I had a soldier go to the healer in disguised as a commoner and go in to see who is the newest patient, because you seemed very reluctant to say anything about who you were with." he smiled, "You underestimated me."

She looked behind her hopping Ruriel was still there, but he wasn't.

"I-is he okay?" She asked nervously.

"Of course the Healer would not give up his patient so, I will leave him be...unless..." he paused.

Her heart sank even further, "Unless what?"

"Unless you come to me willingly and without a fuss, I will let him live." he kept the grin on.

She hesitated for a second, "I-I agree..." She hated saying those words, but she know she had to.

"Excellent, We shall go now." he got an arm around her waist.

She nodded, not saying anything else.

Ruriel wanted to follow but he knew he could not interrupt, especially if it was a royal request.

Ravatus took her on a tour of the palace and eventually ran into Ratkim.

Raktim was on his way out to the front of the palace to begin his week outing to one of the country areas.

"Ravatus what are you doing?" he said in a bored tone.

"We have come to see you off brother." he grinned. Raktim rolled his eyes and when he saw Gwen, "I see you so soon? I though you were with my wife?"

"Well I was, then I ran into Ravatus."

Raktim sighed, "Another woman swept into your arms with your ridiculous charms?"

"Yeah... Something like that." She said.

"Oh come now my brother. U did offer to help you before you met Isis." Raktim's eyes glowed yellow and his teeth turned sharp, his let out an animalistic roar , making Ravatus flinch.

"If you ever say her name like that again....I will rip your tongue out." he turned and left the Palace.

Gwen jumped when he growled. "What happened between you two?" She asked after he left.

He sighed, "It happened right before he was crowned as King, I was in line to take over but I dropped out without saying anything. We were very close as children...but just before I left Balthazar to travel around the Realm, he found me sneaking out of the city and tried to stop me. Raktim had always been better at combat and he tackled me."

He let her loose, "Raktim then tried to convince me to stay but I did not listen and left. I am afraid I did not just home that day, but I left my responsibilities on Raktim as well."

"I'm sorry I asked." She said. "It seems to hurt you pretty badly."

He sighed, "I just wanted to see the world, but did not want to cause my brother to hate me. But my Selfish act had cut our bond, he acknowledges as part of the family, but he does all in his power to believe I do not exist."

Gwen gave him a hug which surprised him, "I know how you feel. I have a brother too. I would hate if if he didn't like me."

He blinked and looked at her, "You are too kind." he sighed, "Come along." he walked on.

She nodded and fallowed.

"I am surprised you followed after me blackmailing you." he said, folding his hand behind his back.

"If you have questions about Guardian you may ask." he added.

"What's it like in Balthazar? I wanna know what you know about it."

"Guardian is the name of the entire world. Balthazar is just the capital of the Dragon realm." There are many kingdoms out there." he said. "The Heart of Guardian is the Rainbow city called Enzo, where the Empress Mei rest and rules with the four sovereigns at her side."

"Really? So you have met her?"

"No, but I have seen the Sovereigns. The sovereign of the North is a Dragon, Extremeus." he smiled with pride.

"Is there an Angel one?"

"Of sorts. Arrikeena. Sovereign of the South. She is an Ice angel. Very beautiful." he smiled, "the East was given to the Insects, Monarch the Butterfly humanoid and the West is to Froggus the hyper-active Amphibian."

She smiled, "I've never met an ice angel before."

"They are very mysterious and normally do not come out into public. They like to stick to the snowy mountains in the south." he expounded.

She seemed really impressed with him, "That is truly amazing. I wish I could tour Guardian."

"Well, if you stick with me my dear, and you shall see many beauties of this world." he smiled.

"Yeah.. I guess so..."

Meanwhile...

Talysmin and Yuusten were in the country side of Balthazar, looking around.

"Ohh!!! We'll never find them!" Yuusten ruffled his hair, "That damn snake of his is good at teleporting." he grumbled.

"We will find them....if we do not...it will be our heads." Talysmin said casually his dull tone.

Anubiss grumbled behind them, "I want you to find them and fast!"

Yuusen jumped, "M-My lord! When did you arrive?" he asked nervously.

"Are you questioning me?" He asked raising an eyebrow.

"No! Uhh, No sir, you just startled me." he said with a stutter.


"What will you wish us Sir?" Talysmin asked.
