As Ghoran and Realia make their way to radiant garden they stopped by a village to pick up a friend, they stood Infront of a house as they waited for Corian to show up.
Realia: Corian! Were here! You better not still be sleeping till this hour.
Then on the second floor of the house a window opens and a boy with short white hair looked down to see his friends waiting for him.
Corian: OH! He guys! Don't worry im almost done!
after a few seconds Corian opens the door and greets both ghoran and realia,
Corian: hè guys! it's been a while,
Ghoran: how is it going man, you doing good?
Corian: yeah, doing just fine! What about you two? I...thought you came sooner?
Realia: welllll, we WOULD have been here sooner...if SOMEBODY did not fall asleep under a tree right when I was searching for him the hole time.
realia looking at ghoran annoyingly and ghoran akwardly looking the other way trying not to make eye contact,
Corian: riiiight...
Realia sighing: anyway...we should get going or we’re going to be late!
Ghoran: yeah, you’re right let's go visit Charlie and get our stuff!
? Charlie's shop
the trio then walked over to the village shop and ghoran opens the door.
Ghoran: hé charlie! Good morn-
But as they open the door someone fell down in the building and created a big mess on the ground
Ghoran:......ing?
The dust settles and then the trio saw charlie on the ground covered in herbs and other stuff while clearly dizzy.
Charlie: urghhh.... huh?...OH! Hello there guys! It's been a while, how are you doing?
The trio stared charlie down with a bit of awkwardness as she tried to stand up
Ghoran: yeah...were doing just fine, i guess?
The trio then helped charlie clean the floor and filling the shelfs.
Charlie: Thanks for the help you guys.
Corian: no problem, happy to help!
Charlie: well, what are all of you up to?
Realia: were are going to radiant garden academy... but were going to be late...
Ghoran: Sooooo....we were wondering, if you still have our stuff?
Charlie: hihi, of course I do! its the least I can do for you helping me out all the time.
she then went behind the counter and then grabbed three tiny suitcases from under it,
Charlie: I had then kept safe for you so there should be good to go.
Corian: sweet! thanks a lot, Charlie.
the trio then took the tiny suitcases from Charlie and started to walk out the building.
Realia: thanks for keeping them save Charlie!
Corian: if you need help give us a sign!
charlie: save travels guys!
but just when the trio walked out the store...
Charlie:...Ghoran...
ghoran stopped instantly as his body was twitching In fear, he slooowly turned his head around...and saw charlie's aura raising as her hair spiked upwards hiding her deadly intent behind a smile.
Charlie: ...please put back the sword were you got it from....
Ghoran sweating: h-huh? um... I dont know what you talking about Charlie, hehe...
(Ghoran said while clearly hiding a sword he took under his shirt)
Charlie aura flared even more from the anger while still smiling.
Charlie: Ghoran~......
ghoran instantly took out the sword from under his shirt out of fear
Ghoran: oh look! you forgot to put back this cool looking sword, don't worry I put it back~
Charlie: very clever~
then ghoran walked out the store and regrouped with realia and corian..who were looking pretty disappointing at him
Corian: dude...seriously?
Realia: why am I not even surprised....
Ghoran: what? it was a cool looking sword, not my fault she has eyes everywhere like a spider!
Charlie yelling: I HEARED THAT, GHORAN!
Ghoran panicking: OKEY GUYS, LETS GET GOING TO THE CITY BEFORE WERE LATE!
Ghoran then threw his suitcase into the air and it transformed into a hover board. he jumped on his board like it was the most safest thing to escape an (angry shop keeper) and then flew away.
Corian: does he always forget that Charlie is a descended of the Etharels of wraith?
realia: honestly, I don't think he's ever going to get it.
then both Realia and Corian threw there suitcases into the air and stepped on there hover boards and flew of.
? the flight to radiant garden
the trio flew over the land of monstro point as they made there way to the academy.
Ghoran: ahhhh~ nice morning air we have, dont we?
Realia: it's...a bit chilly for me personally.
Corian smirking: what? not a fan of the cold realia?
Realia: shut up!
after a few minutes of flying....
Ghoran pointing: LOOK! I see the tree. we're here!
the clouds disappears and in-front of the trio eyes was the massive city, radiant garden! with the colossal tree right in the center of the city with the giant academy built inside the tree and outside of it like a tree house!
the trio dropped down from the sky and landed at the entrance of radiant garden.
Corian: okey.... so how much time do we have exactly?
Realia checking her watch: about...8 minutes left!
Ghoran: I say thats pretty good time left!
Realia whispering in Corian's ear: Would be shorter if ghoran was still arguing with Charlie~
corian smirking: hehe..true~
ghoran: HE! what are you two taking about?
Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
both realia and corian: nothing~.
? walking trough the city
the trio were then walking through the city to the academy.
Realia looking at a jewelry store: I hope they still have that necklase I wanted, I saved up almost enough for it.
Ghoran: you been gushing about that necklace the hole entire flight to the city, is it even that spec-
realia: yes.
ghoran:........oke....,
4 minutes of walking and the trio finally were infront of the very....very long stairway up to the academy.
corian: urghhh... why did they make it so far up again?
realia: no, you are just lazy.
ghoran already walking up: come on guys, we don't have much-
???: HE! LOOK WERE YOUR WALKING IDIOT!
the trio look behind them confused and saw three guys ganging up on a teenager with short black hair,
the teenager: oh! sorry, did not see you there, my bad.
but when the boy tried to walk to the side...one of those men blocked his way clearly angry
the angry man: he! don't go walking away just yet idiot, who even are you?
the teenager: he, man I said I was sorry, not my fault all of you are so quick to anger-
BAM!
the teenager got punched in the face by one of those men and fell down.
the angry man: HAH! not a big talker now are ya!
then all three man began to kick the teenager on the ground.
meanwhile...
realia: what the HECK are they doing-
but when realia tried to finish her sentence. Ghoran RAN right at those men who were beating up the teenager with ANGER in his eyes.
corian: GHORAN?
Ghoran clenched one of his fists, and when one of the gang members almost lands a painful kick to the teenager...
WHACK!!!!!
Ghoran punched the living crap out one of the man right in his face, sending him crashing into a wall.
one of the man: W-WHAT THE!?!
Ghoran turns around and looked at the last remaining two man with dead stare which caused them to shiver in fear.
Ghoran cracking his knuckles grinning: oh! don't worry...you gets some too!
then Ghoran proceeds to kick one of the man RIGHT in the stomach, as the man almost threw up from getting hit so hard, ghoran then raised his leg and SMASHED THE MAN'S FACE into the ground.
the last remaining man was terrified on the ground and tried to shuffle backwards to escape, but Ghoran then turned his focus on the man with a HORRIFYING GRIN on his face.
Ghoran: and where the hell do you think you're going, IDIOT!
the last man crying in fear: w-WAIT-
then Ghoran RAN to the last man, grabbed him by the collar, then PUNCHED HIM RIGHT in the stomach causing the man to fall unconscious on the ground.
after the ass whopping Ghoran gave, he looked behind him and saw realia and corian helping the teenager with his wounds,
walked over to the others
ghoran asking the teenager: you good?
the teenager was...weirdly confused, he then stood up like it was not a big deal
the teenager: um...y-yeah...I'm good.
realia: good, sorry we stood by and not landing a hand.
Corian walking over to ghoran: clean wipe out dude!
ghoran: you know it!
then ghoran notice the teenager staring at him.... with...confusion.
ghoran: uh...you sure you're good?
the teenager: oh! uh...yeah I'm good, thanks for the help.
Ghoran smirking: hehe~ it's nothing.
but then a loud bell rang from the academy.
Realia panicking: AH CRAP! WE'RE LATE!
Ghoran: DAMMIT! UH... WELL GOOD SEEING YOU....UHHH...
the teenager: dregan.
ghoran: RIGHT!...UM, WELL SEE YA, DREGAN!
the trio then ran as hard as they could to the academy, and dregan stood there...still confused.
dregan: what.just.happend?
? the academy
the trio then after running all the way to the top of the stairway, they finally arrived at the radiant garden academy....sweating and tired...and clearly too late.
realia: well... we're here.... finally.
, Corian: we're definitely getting detention again, aren't we?
ghoran: when do we not have detention?
the trio sighed...and walked into the school to there classes...defeated.
? hours later....
the sun began to go down, and Dregan with bandages on his face (that were put on by Realia) was walking down the road feeling a bit grumpy, hours after he got beat up
. dregan: urghh...screw those bastards, why go so far to look strong, and for WHAT? to just get beaten up by a random guy.
then Dregan starts to think back on that moment...on how Ghoran saved him
dregan thinking: who even was that guy anyway? and why the heck did he save me?....weird.
dregan then walked to his apartment and opens the door to his medium sized apartment. he then laid down on his bed and exhaled.
dregan: ahhhh~.....I should probably get rid of those bandages since they pretty much useless now.
???: yeah, they also make your face more red if you leave them on~
dregan's eyes widen and sat up instantly as he turned his head. he then saw standing against the wall, a young beautiful humanoid demon woman with red flaming narrow pupils, sharp teeth, two black horns,red long hair, wearing a black with red suit ,while wearing black heels. and a young girl with long purple hair wearing a dark purple maid outfit wearing heels.
dregan shocked: WHAT THE F-
dregan then fell out of his bed due to getting scared
the maid girl looking worried: is he alright?
the demon girl: if seen worse.
dregan then stood up sighing
dregan: urghh...at least knock or wait if someone is not home....fyranni!
Fyranni smirking: oh please~ why would I wait outside, when it's more fun to catch you off guard when you least aspect it....lord dregan nether-rule~
dregan: yeah-yeah, real funny.
the maid girl then bowed gracefully: good evening my lord~ had a trouble day?
dregan sighed: hi, lunaria.....
? a few minutes later....
Dregan was sitting on the bed while Lunaria is removing the bandages of dregan's face and Fyranni leaning against the wall.
dregan grumpy: it still bugs the hell out of me that those damm bastards were so over there heads.
fyranni: you sound grumpy.
dregan: I AM GRUMPY!
fyranni: figures. though very impressive for you are able to fake being hurt~
dregan dead plain: you seem to enjoy yourself.
fyranni smirking: why would you think that?~
dregan??: i hate you.
fyranni: love you to~
dregan: so. were are the others?
fyranni: there somewhere in the city, meanwhile kaizo is currently on his way to radiant garden with some intel we need from a mission.
dregan: about the ceremony I presume?
Fyranni: bingo! the ceremony of the old tale, if we are able to learn more about the ancient etharels....then were be more prepared for what we will be facing.
dregan: uh-huh.
fyranni then walked over to dregan
fyranni: and when its over...then nothing will be able to stop-
but then fyranni notice dregan spaced out staring at the ceiling and was not listening at all
fyranni: are you even listening?
dregan snapping back to reality: huh? oh! you said something?
fyranni (anoided by dregan not listening) pulled on dregan's cheek out of frustration.
dregan in pain: Ow! Ow! OKEY! OKEY! i listen!
fyranni sighed: urghhh....look! the ceremony of the old tale is close at hand, and its our only change. so do me a favor and DON'T do anything suspicious.... alright?
dregan gave a lazy nod.
fyranni then lets go of dregan's cheek and walked to the door
fyranni: I deal with the inportant stuff, you just sit back and enjoy the show, I message you in the future for new updates.
dregan: you got it!
fyranni then opens the door...but before she left, she pulled out an envelope out of her pocked, she threw it at dregan and then left.
leaving only dregan and lunaria in the room.
dregan while reading the letter in the envelope: by the way, lunaria?
lunaria: hm?
dregan: why are you here exactly?
lunaria smiling: I'm was send here to personally look after your room when you're gone, my lord,
dregan: oh okey then!
then dregan stood up and also walked to the door
dregan: well, I'm out for a bit, gotta take care...of something real quick.
lunaria bowed: as you wish my lord~
then dregan walked out into the night.
? revenge!
after a short walk through the city night, dregan made his way into a dark ally
dregan: alright! this should be the place.
he then walked in the ally and then ironically( but not really) he encounters the same three men he made during the day that beat him up who were still a bit hurt from ghoran's ass wooping they received.
one of the man notice dregan: HE! isn't that the punk from the morning?
the other man: well, its really is him!
the third man: HE IDIOT! Im still mad from that morning you know!
dregan acting confused: huh? but...I was the one who launched you into the wall now, was I?
, the first man was angry: WHAT WAS THAT YOU PUNK?
the second man: THIS TIME THAT ACADEMY STUDENT OR WHATEVER IS NOT GOING TO SAVE YOU NOW, HAHA
then the first man charged at dregan
the first man: WELL WHAT YA GOING TO NOW IDIOT, HAHA-
.....but dregan dodged the attack....then punched the man's head right of his head....and it exploded against the wall
the area felt...cold when that happend
the two man stood there in disbelief..with there eyes widen in complete....FEAR!
the second man: w-w-w....what just happened?
the third man: I....I dont-
the first man's body collapsed to the ground as dregan stood there with his fist covered in blood...grinning
dregan: hehehe~ the first one was a punch in the face right? then the second one should beeeee....
dregan then was infront of the second man...and kicked him sideways into the wall...and his entire body exploded from the impact.
the third man was completely horrified and collapsed on the ground shivering and crying
the third man: w-w-w-why are-how are-what just-
dregan grinning while blood is on his face: what? you like beating people up, right?
dregan walked over to the third man who was shaking in fear
dregan eyes glowed red with merciless intent as his smile turned into a crimson smirk: I like beating people up too~...but I prefer mine more in pools of blood instead of lying on the ground like pigs~.
then dregan's outfit changed into a black with red lined jacked, boots and pants, with the symbol of the hollow organization on the center of his chest (a blood moon broken in half as the blood escape leaving an hollow moon), dregan's voice also turned more merciless and cold.
the third man built up enough courage to run away in fear.
but dregan grabbed his leg with his magic tentacles, and pulled him back to him as he then placed one foot on his stomach
dregan: dont go yet~ I still have to deal wit you of course!
the third man: PL-PLEASE SPARE ME! IM SORRY! I..-WONT EVER BOTHER YOU AGAI-
dregan voice cold: be quite...
the man insantly shut up
dregan: now then. first was punch in the face, second was a kick in the stomach, what was the third one again?
the man was sweating in fear
dregan: oh!....riiiiiight~
the third man: w-w-w-w-w-w-WAi-
Dregan then punched the third man in his stomach, causing him to explode and cover the hole ally in blood...including dregan himself
Dregan anoided: dang it, I over did it again, now my hole body is covered in blood...BLEH!
Dregan sighed and then transformed back into his normal outfit and cleaned himself with his magic, and walked back home having done his...little detour.
Dregan: okey, dont do anything suspicious said fyranni, I can do that. was also nice of her to give me the letter to those idiot's location, and with the ceremony almost upon us....well, this will be fun~.
as Dregan was walking home... the members of hollow were hiding in the shadows in the city plotting. waiting. the organization has infiltrated radiant garden and is planning something far, FAR worse. what are they after? what will happen during the ceremony of the old tales? and most importantly...what will happen to our beloved trio when the hollows have succeeded?
