Chapter 49: New Companions I sat up with a blinder of a headache. Where was I? Oh, I was in my inn room, wearing a white blouse and a green skirt. Alexis was asleep beside me. I smiled at her and laid down to sleep again after a quick glance at the table clock. It read 1 a.m. Thats late...... Suddenly, there was a flash of light from outside the inn. I jumped to my feet and ran out to see what was going on. Everyone else was probably asleep and hadn't seen the flash. "Huh?" I stared. There was a small crater behind the inn! Also, there appeared to be someone inside it. "Ohh...... man......" he groaned. I quickly jumped in and carried him out of the crater, laying him on the ground. He was a teenager, about 18 years old, with black hair and blue eyes. He was decked in warrior armour and a huge mace was latched to his back. "Where... am I...?" he murmured and sat up to look around. "You're in Leafre." I said calmly. He jumped to his feet. "I'm in maple now!?" he was shocked. "Yeah." I sighed. He gasped. The next few hours was spent explaining stuff to him inside my inn room. Alexis was surprised to see the White Knight when she woke up. "Who're you?" she asked. "Oh yeah, I forgot I never told you my name. I'm Timmias, but just call me Timmy." he smiled. "Nice to meet you, Timmy." I smiled at him. Alexis pulled me aside. "You sure he's not another one of those Saevio clones?" she asked. "I'm dead sure. I found him behind the inn last night. He seems harmless enough." I assured her. She eyed the Morningstar strapped to Timmy's back. I ran into the bathroom, Traced a Dark Armis and put it on. Jakito and Sevin joined the three of us for lunch at the bar a few minutes later. "So...... Saevio's powers are spreading to the other worlds now..." Jakito mumbled. "This Saevio guy must be a psycho." Timmy remarked. "You have no idea. He keeps trying to turn Artemis into a full demon!" Alexis said fiercely. "Full demon?" Timmy eyed her suspiciously. She groaned. "You never told him about that, did you?" she whispered in my ear. I shook my head. "What's your half-demon form like?" he asked. "How'd you know I was a half-demon?" I was surprised. "Alexis said full demon, so it means you're already half." he replied. "Smart." I mumbled. The 5 of us went to a clearing in the forest so I could show Timmy my demon form in private. He tripped over when he saw three pairs of wings shoot out of my back. I grinned at him as my ears became pointed and my skin became scaly. My hands turned into claws while two horns shot out of my head. "Cool......" he gasped. "GET AWAY FROM HERE, YOU DEMON!!!" Suddenly, an arrow bomb shot out of nowhere and hit me on the head. It exploded, covering my head in a small fog of smoke. "Who did that!?" Alexis demanded, turning around. "You're the cause of the evil thats been polluting the world!" a dark brown-haired Huntress with amber eyes and armed with an Asianic Bow stepped out of the forest as I wiped tears off my cheek. "No, this is a misunderstanding!" I protested. "Misunderstanding, my foot." she snorted and launched another arrow bomb at me. This time, Timmy whacked the arrow away with his Morningstar. "Are you supporting demons!?" the Huntress demanded. "I don't support demons, but she's not a full demon." Timmy gestured at me. "Oh, really?" the Huntress lowered her bow and eyed him with an ominous look in her eyes. I closed my eyes and concentrated. I felt my wings and horns shoot back into my body. My skin smoothened out and my claws turned back into hands. My ears became round again. "Oh...!" the Huntress exclaimed. "Toldja." Timmy folded his arms. "Sorry..." she put her Asianic Bow back in her quiver and apologized. "I'm Kagome, whats your names?" the Huntress sat down to talk with us. "I'm Artemis, she's Alexis, the boy with the wings is Sevin, the Priest with the Blade Staff is Jakito and the Knight's Timmy." I introduced us all. Kagome's eyes flicked between Alexis and me. "Twins?" she asked. I nodded. "What brings you to Leafre anyway? Whatever it is, I'm sure its not to train." Jakito asked. Weird, its not like him to ask questions like that. Kagome looked at him and replied, "Recently, Henesys has been having some strange disturbances. Pets are attacking their owners, Hunting Ground monsters seem a bit stronger and etcetera. I followed the trail and found out that the activity is strongest around the Ellinia portal to Leafre. I had to fight a giant stump just to get through it." I could imagine a giant stump walking around, and it wasn't a nice thought. Hold on. She said the activity was strongest around the Ellinia-Leafre portal. Did this mean that Saevio was somewhere in Leafre? I looked at Alexis. She nodded to show that she was thinking along the same lines as I was. "Kagome, why don't you stay behind? The road from now on might be getting more difficult." I smiled at her. "No way. I'm coming with you guys." she protested. Jakito shrugged. "Oh, alright." I sighed. "Just try not to get hurt or anything serious." Alexis quipped. Kagome nodded. |
