Wash-Blooded

"hey nic are you sure you know where we are going" mion said as he stood in a sumo wrestler stance, he was practically exhausted.

"just follow me, and try to keep up, i am going the slowest I possibly can because of you" nic said as he walked a distance infront of mion.

"are you forgetting that am carrying your pets on my back!" mion shouted as he was annoyed by nics attitude towards him.

"they aren't my pets, they are research" nic coldly responded as he paused and looked back at mion.

"your research?" mion asked as he was confused, he thought that nic was interested in these two tadpoles because he wanted them to be his pets, other than forming a soul contract, one is able to form a bond with animals, it is very common for some rich and noble men to have monsters as pets.

"yes my research, am just interested in them for some odd reason, it's like how I get lost in my desire to kill when am fighting"

"ohh I also found that strange also, I just thought that you enjoyed killing people" mion had already noticed Nics uncontrollable killing urges from the moment they meet.

"it is something in me, that yawns for death when my victims bleed, I cant explain the feeling but it makes it easier to kill" while saying these words the aura around nic suddenly changed as he displayed a crooked smile.

*gulp* mion was in shock, not just by Nics words but the aura nic is giving off started giving him goosebumps, his body trembled as it started to tell him to run.

but mion was not the only thing that noticed the aura that nic was giving off.

"OINNK!!!"

the aura nic was giving off instantly depleted as it was now coated by fear, nic started to shiver as he held onto Charlotte who was sound asleep on his shoulders, she woke up by the cry of the monster.

Charlotte began to look around, she saw mion who was standing in place, and she looked down to see nic who was also not moving.

she tapped Nics head trying to find out what was the issue.

"not now Charlotte" nic whispered, "we need to be quiet, that monster is unbeatable, we just got to hope it doesn't come over here"

"oink!" they soon heard another cry but this time it was further away.

"sigh" nic exhaled heavily as he was happy he did not have to fight that thing.

"what type of monster is it" mion asked.

"let's get out of here before you find out" nic then began to walk much faster.

"hey!, wait up!!", mion shouted as he slowly walks behind.

....

somewhere deep in a frozen land, their rest a castle on the peak of a snowy mountain, and below rest a small village of around 1000 houses, the houses looked well built and looked as though they were miniature castles.

at the gate to the castle is the symbol of none other than the Elgos family, the people that live in the village around the castle are none other than the elites of the family, they are the people that have the Elgos family blood running through their veins, most of them have well groomed brown hair, and are well dressed in the best white and black fur, it looked like a small village of nothing but the rich.

"WHO DARES!!"

the peaceful village shaked as the voice spread all around the village, the voice was that of a woman and she sounded furious, every member of the family looked towards the castle.

"what could have angered the leader"

"I got news from my brother saying that someone annihilated the sunset guild"

"huh?, who dares to raise a hand against members of our family"

"weren't two of the members of that guild direct descendants"

"no wonder the leader is upset, killing a direct descendant is almost as saying you want to damage our bloodline"

"did any of those members have the bloodline gift"

"ofcourse not, the ones blessed with the gift from our ancestor are to high and mighty to even think of joining a guild with distant members of the family"

their was a big commotion in the village as everyone was speaking about the issue.

but inside of the castle was a different story, in a certain room in the castle, their stood a total of 10 men dressed from head to toe in black armor only their bright brown eyes can be seen through the gaps in their helmets , on the center of their chest is the symbol of the Elgos family painted crimson red as though it was painted by blood.

infront of the well armored men was the young man that had escaped from nic, he was kneeling down as cold sweat ran down the side of his face.

the room was bright even though the dark night had already descended upon the land, the light came from lanterns that were being held by statues of different women that were all around the room.

and at the end of the room was that of a wierd chair, it looked like that of a crescent moon, and and their was a lantern that was hooked at the top of the crescent moon.

sitting in the chair was a woman, she had bright brown long hair and her face was full of freckles, her eyes looked sharp as though it belonged to a eagle ,and they were much more brown than all the others, she was dressed as though she was a maiden in her white and black dress, but what stood out was that she was wearing gauntlets and in one hand she was holding a lantern.

"so your telling me that your the only one that survived?" her gentle voice echoed in the large room.

"yes your greatness" the young man replied instantly.

"and your saying that you all were defeated by only one man"

"yes your greatness"

"well I guess we may have to start all over again, to think that we are far behind in the rush of all major factions in the creation of guilds"

"your greatness what about the man that is responsible for killing members of our family, should one of us go and hunt him down" one of the men in armor stepped forward and spoke, his voice sounded as though he was a child.

"their is no need for that, just place a wanted image of him in every human kingdom, their is no need for us to go on a manhunt, they were just two descendants and not one of them was blessed with the gift of the lantern" she spoke coldly as she spoke to one of her great commanders.

"I agree"

"they were nothing but a test and they failed, they should be thankful the leader put in this much effort"

"I think we should form a guild this time with direct descendants only"

"I believe so as well"

the men in armor began to speak their mind's freely, while the young man on the ground seemed confused, if they planned to create a guild this time with only direct descendants then that means he would not be chosen again, their were many benefits in being in the guild, which included a decent allowance.

"I agree with all of your thoughts, they were nothing but a test run, this time we create a guild of direct descendants and we keep them in our territories only, that should be much safer, plus their are many beast dens in our territories that they can use to train" the woman spoke once more, this time it was clear for the young man that he did not have no place in being in the guild again, but with his strength he could still try to atleast be a soldier for the family and live peacefully in the village.

"ohh I almost forgot as for this young man, take his memories and erase him from existence, our family do not tolerate the weak"

"you are right in judgment great leader"

"huh?", the young man was shocked, he could not believe what he just heard, she cant do this to me, no it cant be.

the young man dashed forward towards the leader as he cried, "please my merciful leader, I beg your forgiveness, please spare my life!!"

but the young man did not even get close, he bumped into one of the armored men that just appeared before him.

"how dare you, you are not even a descendant and you rise in the leaders presence, my nephew was the leader to your group, I think that all of his friends should accompany him in the divine lands" it was the armored man with the child voice.

"he is lucky that we need his memories to create the wanted poster or he would have already been dead"

"indeed"

"I dont know where the wash-blooded find their courage" (wash-blooded are those that are related to siblings of the founding leader, while descendants are the lineage of the founding leader)

the young man then stepped back, as he began to shiver in fear, his clothes became drenched in sweat.

"are you planning to run without legs" the man infront of him spoke, and instantly the young man fell to the ground, his body just slide off of his legs.

"awwwhhhhhh!!"
