Chapter 15: World's View Towards The Guards

Arc: The Temple. 

After we got ourselves a vehicle , heading back to the headquarters ,I told them about the strangers who attacked me that day .... I took off my gloves to show them my burning hands . I was shocked and so as they .. . I removed my gloves and there wasn't any single burning mark in my hand ...I was certainly sure that there was lots of burn marks in my hands....Then those features came from their faces , the features of compassion which I had abhorred .

"I promised myself that I will not go back to that weak girl anymore and I've never had broken a promise before."

It was a sunny morning and our friends being ready to go on another trip .

Master Valko:"I'll leave to continue my mission with the guards , accompanied by Marissa and the doctor . During my absence , Cole will be in charge ."

Yuno:"Grandfather, come back after my party ends."

Marissa:"Yuno , you shouldn't say It that way."

Jason talks to himself:"What an honest little girl!"

Master Valko:"Okay then, we will not be back until Yuno's party ends."

Nichole:"He even didn't care about what she said."

In Marsael station they are now, a small station for a small number of people using Coal trains . 

"Take a look at this." said a man in the station, gathering people around him .

"They are angry, the Redeyes are angry."

"Of course they are , we stole their land."

"It use to be our land."

"Yeah, Linyu City is ours."

Marissa Whispers:"Is that true Master?"

Master :" Approximtely Part of It."

Jason , who stops suddenly and looked behind :"What is it Tom?"

Tom frightened:"It is the same handwriting .. the same as the writings that was on the school wall!"

This time the blood writing was found on one of the trains, covering the whole train with those words . "WE SHALL TAKE WHAT'S YOURS ...WHERE ARE YOUR LEGENDARY GUARDS NOW!"then people started whispering once again.

"The legendary guards ?..who are they?"

"You don't know , they are magic users who use forbidden magic."

"The war started because of them."

Master:"Let's continue our way."

No one spoke all the way to their seats on the train. Jason , Christene and Greed sat with the Master and the doctor while Nichole ,Marissa and Tom sat together .

The Master:"I warned you , the journey won't be easy so..."

Jason , tries to control his temper:"We haven't said anything yet...though , we need some explanation..You're still hiding something from us, are we criminals or what?"

Christene:"Relax Jason."

Jason:"Christene, did you hear what those people were saying."

Christene:"That's why I told you to calm down."

Greed madly:"I don't mind him being angry like that, people hate us , they hate our parents and for that we are suffering now .... Our parents before us have sacrificed their lives to protect the kingdom and for what... for nothing. "

Doctor Marcus:"After the war ended, the guards accused of betrayal...what makes it more difficult to prove that they were innocent is that it is not natural to use your body as  magic  source   ,not everyone can accept the changes so fast ."

Jason:"What should we do after we all are gathered?"

Master:"We will attack the Redeyes starting from Linyu."

Christene:"Just like that?"

Master:"It isn't the time to discuss about this , we must find the other guards then we will talk."

Jason:" Pardon me Master, you've declared me as the guard leader ..After the guardians come join  together , we will define our goal of whether we agree to attack without a support from the people or not ."

Greed:"For the first time I agree with him,..... Master, you are asking us to give up our lives for nothing , we are not asking for money or fame ..we need people to not misunderstand us after we leave this life." 

They all looked at Greed ,surprised about what he  just said .

Greed:"Yak, to agree with this person makes me feel disgusted ."

Jason:"You won't consider me as your squad leader right?"

Greed:"Heh, not even in your dreams ." 

*********************************

An hour pass after leaving Marsael City and the team is on their way to the next station.

"Where am I ?.....Mom..Dad wait don't go ."

"Is this is what you want ?"

"What?....who are you?"

"Do you want to take revenge ?"

"I..I do ?....hey, you're a Dragon?!"

"Yes, I am, my blood is moving through your body...You really want to use my power for revenge, answer me Jason?"

"Jason...Jason !"Christene calls .

He wakes up , seeing himself on her shoulder.

Jason nervously:" Sorry , It wasn't on purpose , I mean ...I ...I did it without realizing .( Then said in his inner voice.) ..What am I doing?"

Christene, mocking him:"You make up such an excuse to sleep on a girl's shoulder."

Jason:"HAAAAA, no wonder I woke up , no one can sleep on a rock ."

Christene:"Shut it you lizard."

Jason sarcastically :"You didn't like It didn't you?"

Greed:"Enough with this children fight."

"Attention to all passengers , the train windows will close after 10 seconds , passengers should go to their seats , tie their seatbelt tightly . We are about to reach our destination ."

Tom as he gets his head out of the window:"Are we there....wait ,the train is going directly to a lake?!"

The train started sinking into the lake smoothly until it reaches to a crossroad . A road leads to a railroad on the land , and a road that runs through a tunnel , which was their way .

Marissa:"Are we at..."

Master:"Yes, The Holy City."

Greed:"I haven't come here since I was a little thief."

Jason :"You were a stealer?!"

Greed gleefully:"How joyful, those days were!...until the Master took me to the headquarters ."

Marissa:"Okay, let's have a big talk rather than this trivial talk."

Greed, went red with fury:"Don't call my story a trivial talk, Mirissa *Senpai."

"SENPAI!" All four went startled.

*Note:Senpai means senior or upper graduate.

Nichole whispers to Tom:"I thought she was a married woman."

Tom:"Either did I !"

Marissa:" I can hear you."

Master Valko:"Whatever happens , do not speak about being a legendary guards . understood."

All reply :"Understood."
