Chapter 17: Why does MY heart feel so bad? Part 1

When her eyesight began to return after a temporary blinding flash, she felt that laying on something soft. Listening to the sounds coming from the ambient managed to deduce that she was in a room.

"My room?" for a moment she was amazed looking around the room. She looked at her hands but they were quite normal with no signs of scales or elongated claws instead of nails. Unveiling a little bedclothes, in which she was lying checked her feet, which were also normal.
"Was it a dream?" touched with her hand face but it also seemed quite normal. She stood up and walked around the room, which turned out to be her own.

"I'm back at home?" for a moment stopped in front of a mirror. For a moment was looking at her own reflection before she headed toward the closet. Quickly found something in it to replace the damaged clothes on ones much less worn.
"Why are they in such a bad shape,' she mused putting removed clothes on the chair.
"Huh?" in the light of the burning torches in the room noticed some marks on lying clothes. Reaching closer to them and watching in amazement as she found traces of dried blood. Instinctively she looked at her own body but didn't anything anywhere, even a scratch.
"You're back?" she heard somewhere behind her. Turning around saw standing in the doorway of the chamber maid.
"I came back?" looked with slightly confused look.
"From the expedition to track down that dark guild. But the army has not yet returned," maid looked at Knightwalker as if she saw a ghost.
"Army don't come back?" tried to remember last hours events but the memories were still hazy. Images of being surrounded by a group of armed men dying groans, curses uder her address. Only managed to recall that from the memory.
"Are you okay?" maid taking care started to walk toward Erza.
"Yes. Leave me alone," almost screamed red-haired woman. On that maid stopped in her tracks and turned around immediately heading toward the door. Once Knightwalker was alone in the room came over and sat down on the bed. Half an hour later visited her short older man.
"Erza how good that you are and as I see you have spare time," started Byro. "We just need your help to remove the seal from the two subjects which have recently found. I think that may be an interesting pieces of the weapon."
"Leave me alone," she said through her clenched teeth without even looking at him. Hesitating for a moment before he walked toward the door.
"But tomorrow morning, you'll have to do it," he said and walked out leaving her alone. Lying on the bed again she tried to remember what happened in the last day. Again only the fragments returned forming much incomplete picture of the day. Even after several attempts nothing of value returned just only more framgnets of images or sounds. Resigned closed her eyes and fell asleep fairly quickly.
At a time when she was sleaping at the floating island near the palace was called Excelia's imperial guard captain, which came fairly quickly.
"Greeting my queen," Nichyia bowed before present in chamber ruler.
"Greeting," said Shagotte.
"So what is the reason you called me?" he asked when he stood upright again.
"In a few days, people will use Anima again. I want you with a small squad of our troops be present there," she said. "I will make that through its use they will bring a powerful beast from another world. When it would arrive you no matter what happens around you and squad must remain calm, composure and not take any action provoking it to attack any of you. As long as none of you show hostile intent against it all would be safe. And when you see that it begins to calm down bring it here. Do you understand everything? "
"Yes my queen," said male Exceed. "Is that all?"
"No. As the beast would kill a few people who were going to be killed personaly by me anyway to remind fool humans who is their goddess, you can use it to strengthen my authority. Also go west and find the woman called Wendy Veilio. Announce her that Shagotte wants to meet with her. If she refuse then add that in that case, I inviting Lilli'th," she said and made a hand gesture to send back commander standing in front of her.
"As you command," Nichya bowed again and left the room. A few minutes later to the room came four elders, with who for a long time queen behind closed doors plotted on the next moves.
Next morning Knightwalker went to Byro preferring to have it done already. Despite getting some sleep all night without any incident memories of the previous day were as vague as the previous evening. Fortunately issue of removing seals proceeded without major problems apart from a few times she tried removing spells. At the first object shorter man even began to suspect that something happened to Erza but she fast rebukked that on hard days she just had especially the last one. What was true in part because, despite the absence of clear memories still she felt exhausted as after hours long running or performing heavy exercise for most of the day.
"Rough day?" asked strolling through the palace gardens fairy hunter huge exceed. She looked at him for a moment before she replied.
"Nothing to do with you," turning away from him moved on thinking about the reasons for the lack of memories and the cause of the fatigue she felt the night before.
"How pursuit after Fairy Tail?" Pantherlily asked another question. Hearing them stopped and looked at him. Memory of bluehaired man holding her arm flashed before her eyes and felt for a moment heat radiating from her heart.
"Still ongoing," she said trying to understand what she just remembered.
"You look and behave strangely today," said big exceed and turned then started to walk away from her. She stood for a moment before yelled after him.
"In what way differently?"
"As if you were a different person," he said but she barely heard it.
"Another person?" again another memory flashed before her eyes. She was in some buildings built of crystals and there was a man with pink hair, saying something to her. Something like the question of what happened to her. Then the memory of a man with a tattoo on his face.
"Prince Jellal," she muttered under her breath going back to memories from many years ago when the son of the king disappeared during one of the Anima use. Continuing strolling through the garden she noticed some change. Even a few days ago, her senses were heightened yet since yesterday they seemed to be dull again almost as once before she had implanted lacrimas.
"Rufus..." another memory flashed before her eyes, in which she was immobilized and a few people were talking somewhere over her. One of them was called that way. Sitted on a nearby bench to rest a while and two guards passing near was talking about the strange incident in the dungeon. About how in the cell where was imprisoned woman appeared suddenly an unknown man, who has not said anything nor how he get there.
"Maybe I should have some rest dealing with something like visiting the dungeon," she said to herself, smiling evilly. The fact that prison guards could not pull any of this prisoner doesn't mean that it will go the same way. In addition, it would be good to spend time to avoid meeting with Byro.
"Minerva?" she stopped on the stairs leading down to see walking in the opposite direction a woman with dark purple hair reaching to the buttocks. Some of them were worn in two buns with short braids on the sides of the head.
"What?" responded clearly furious Ceriale.
"Such difficult to interrogate?" she asked with a slight malice guessing from where was returning her subordinate. "Or maybe you not tortured him enough?"
Green-eyed woman said nothing mumbling some curses under her breath then without a word walked past Knightwalker and disappeared in doors at the top of the stairs. "So she didn't pressed him hard enough," she said under her breath and started walk down the stairs.
A few hours later Knightwalker came out of the dungeon angry and pissed off. An individual who has been found in the cell where she was previously green-haired female dark mage was still silent. Was it the question of where Karen Veilio disappeared or who he was just bursting out laughing. Even tortures he performed on him didn't forced to speak, he just one question asked a few times.
"Could it be that your senses dulled?" asked Rufus with face turned down toward the floor. Hearing as she started to breathe faster and approaching him hit him hard again he only moved slightly on the impact. O yeah, even though she wasn't bad at torturing people it was nothing for him. Until they would started to use this magic he would be able to endure traditionally conducted tortures for many hours. They wanted get information from him so they had to keep him in a good condition.
"When you'll be able to answer my question I will think about yours," he called after her as she walked toward the stairs leading to the upper floors.
'Dulled senses,' that was another thing that troubled her. Only a few hours before she started to suspect yet that a man knew about it even though she even didn't mention this to anyone. Even that until recently she had heightened senses doesn't know too many people in the palace. So how he had this knowledge?
Heading toward the main gate of the castle left it heading toward located next to it entertainment park. There strolling between various attractions she bumped into a group of several people. Before tumbling down and following it noticing her then running away scared were talking about future plans.
'Find somebody,' she stopped for a moment pondering over heard fragment of their conversation. 'Even if I wanted to find a partner then not now. I have yet to finish a few things," she started walk slowly again ahead.
'It would have to be an exceptional man,' before her eyes for a moment flashed an image of a blue-haired man. 'No, prince have vanished who knows where,' she shook her head.
'It have to be strong. Yes stronger, more powerful than me. But such man doesn't exist in this world, "once again flashed memories of a man but this time it was basically just the face. Face, on which there wasn't a tattoo, with blue eyes.
'Not exist,' she repeated several times in her mind, but every time the same memory as if to spite he was returning. Returning to the palace went again down to the dungeon. Night was falling outside when she was leaving it, yet still hasn't moved an inch into unraveling the mystery. Even showing up almost at the end of Ceriale, which helped her to apply more sophisticated torture doesn't forced man to say what they wanted.
'If not today he would start talk tomorrow,' she thought, going to his chamber. In the morning she woke up refreshed and ready for another day spent in the dungeons. Only slightly was concerned about a dream in which appeared a man with blue hair and eyes. Also heard a voice sounding like someone was playing tricks with her in addition to making inappropriate comments and what more puzzling it was like a slightly altered her own voice.
Unfortunately, this day also didn't bring any progress. Although the prisoner seemed to slowly feel effects of tortures, he said nothing of value. Erza started to admire its resistance to all techniques that she along with Minerva used on him. Maybe they should have started to use more sophisticated techniques or just leave it the prison torturers who might accidentally kill him before he would say anything. Days passed and the prisoner didn't say anything new.
"Tomorrow we will use Anima again," she heard at the seventh day or maybe sixth day evening after returning from the dungeon when she met Hughes. "Besides, you should be sure to see the new things that were added to the park yesterday. Amazing simply amazing," he gesticulated enthused as usual over new addition yet Knightwalker just shrugged and went on her way.
The next morning returned army, which marched out several days earlier with Knightwalker. Seeing their commander already in the capital, some of the soldiers began to spin theories secretly how despite going further after the trail she managed to get back first even though she haven't with her legion. These rumors reached fairly quickly counselors of the king, who decided to clarify the matter right after using Anima.
"What are they doing here?" Byro asked Coco, looking at the landing near the platform where was supposed to show up Lacrima group of the exceeds with noone other than Nichyia himself as the leader.
"I will immediately check it on" the last part of her answer already reached him from some distance when moving as usual in a jiffy she advance towards squad form Excelia.
"What happened?" she asked before completely stopping in front of a group of the winged cats.
"We came here on the orders of her highness goddess Shagotte. Continue as if we weren't here," he looked sideways towards the kneeling in front of them rather large group of members of the royal army. "You can get up, only a few chosen from among you will die soon."
Hearing this, some kneeling quietly began to whisper among themselves. Despite this done as the Excelia guard commander said, who after a moment's thought pointed to a few of the people casually saying they won't see the sunset.
"I wonder how the queen plans to kill anyone now? Miracle would have to happen for someone to die soon," said blonde-haired commander tio the purple-haired man standing next to him while both were some distance from standing calmly exceeds.
"Amazing. As much as I feel shivers of excitement at the thought that here and now she will try to kill some of us," said Hughes quite not worried.
"He said he just came due to his queen's order. However among the army are spreading rumors that Shagotte wants to kill some of us. He even pointed out a few of our own," Coco reported to Byro before she rushed toward the crowd again.
"Interesting," said to himself a short man and made a sign to get started. At the beginning everything went peacefully and without any interruption. Interdimensional vortex opened up on both sides and slowly but methodically began to suck in everything from the Earthland, which had the misfortune to find itself under him. In Edolas on the platform slowly began to form the basis for the giant crystal. Among the gathered had already begun to disperse muffled whispers about the size of the forming crystal. After a few minutes vortex began to deform as if choked or clogged with too large object.
"What's going on?" Coco started to run around the Byro worried by Anima strange behavior.
"This didn't happen ever before," said the short man. "Probably something gigantic is sucked in currently. It should calm down soon."
A moment later, as a confirmation of his words vortex began to slowly return to its previous shape and on the basis of the crystal in a few seconds appeared a large part of the crystal. On that among gathered spread a huge groan of delight, which was about the size of still growing Lacrima. A few minutes later the vortex began to shrink until it completely disappeared.
"Amazing. What a size. Exctracted from it magical energy should last for a very long time," looking in the direction of a nearby crystal Hughes said.
"Really. I didn't see before that we were able to get so huge ever," replied a little too over dramatically Sugarboy.
"Tell the king that..." Byro stopped when he felt a slight shake. After a while earth shake another not strong shock.
"What?" he looked in the direction of the crystal, from which direction felt another incoming shake, this time much stronger. "Tell the army to surround the crystal," he ordered what caused Coco to immediately rush toward gathered.
After a few minutes most of the royal army soldiers gathered surrounded around the platform on which stood Lakrima with few rows. Almost rhythmically around it was slowly spreading steady intensifying then weakening earthquakes. A moment later, in the midst of standing humans had begun to disperse muffled voices.
"What are their talking about?" Huges got a bit worried when he thought that something happened with the crystal.
"They saying, that some of them swear as if they saw almost as huge as the Lacrima itself shape slightly moving inside," replied Sugarboy. "Others say that this may be something that has been sucked into the Anima."
"That's impossible. It never sucked anything alive and will never happen ever," said the purple-haired commander purpurow�osy when after one of the quakes on the crystal appeared a small crack and a small piece almost from the very top broke off and fell somewhere between standing people. A moment later in the midst of standing rose a scream and around the place where the shard fallen soldiers moved away to reveal a writhing in convulsions man with crystal impaled right into his helmet and his companions fast recognized him as one of the humans pointed by the exceeds commander.
"What's going on there?" said under her breath Knightwalker approaching gathered. She not showed up at Anima activation moment but decided to leave dungeon to get a short break anyway from interrogating a prisoner. Another shock caused appearing another crack on the other side of the crystal and widening of the first one. Once again someone in the crowd had no time to react to falling down shard and another soldier was unsuccessfully calling for help while trying to reach impaled in his chest crystal.
"Help him," shouted someone in the crowd, but it was too late. Another man marked by Exceed already stopped moving. Almost immediately, everyone began to move away from the crystal, which was still shaken by minor shocks slowly expanding existing and forming new cracks on its surface.
"There is something there," spread words among the crowd when after next shock in one of the few cracks few soldiers saw something resembling the eye. From cracks slowly began to spread around almost imperceptible mist.
"Aaaa. Cold," said almost simultaneously few of standing people when reached them spreading fumes. At that moment one of standing at the front of the exceed squad turned and looked at his captain.
"Calm down. Our godess said that we have nothing to fear. Stay calm," said with firm and calm voice Nichya on what the rest of his unit relieved. Because if even their commander doesn't show even the slightest sign of fear meant that they truly didn't have to worry though some of them felt a moment ago a slight disturbing inner fear.
Meantioned captain, however despite not showing outside any signs internally began experiencing alarmingly unpleasant feeling. As said Shagotte people brought some alien creature. However even at this distance could easily feel the aura of magical energy which radiated from it. People gathered around were not able to feel and for a moment even fell slight envy cuz of that. He had never before met any living being, which was able to spread around itself such overwhelming, cold, almost primitive and omnipotent power that was slowly leaking from the broken lacrima. Even now when lacrima pieces was still blocking bulk of the aura, he was feeling truly out of this world nature of the creature. Had the queen made a mistake and people brought something to destroy their world?
Crystal finally broke into five or six bigger shards and immediately from inside was released out a huge amount of cold air. Standing soldiers stand back again when their two commanders, Byro and Coco stood petrified watching what is happening before their eyes. The other two commanders was thinking: she was trying to explain the strange feeling of knowing this beast from somewhere and he about the next steps to be taken as like the nearby exceeds he also felt radiating from it magical energy. Could it be that beings on the other side finaly send throu the anima scout or maybe also executioner in one person? 'What is the queen role in this event? She never before sent her troops due to us using anima so does she well knew what would happen today?'
After streatching almost into infinity moment was only silence, during which vapors began to slowly dissipate and disappear. Then the silence around the crystal tear up a mighty roar coming from the inside of a broken lacrima and from the inside on the edge of one of the pieces of a broken crystal appeared covered with scales gigantic paw. After it on another piece on the other side of the crack appeared second paw. After them form the crack between them began to emerge huge reptilian head. All the people stood still stunned, even when a giant beast emerged fully putting all one then back leg directly on the gathered members of the royal army. Once again, a few soldiers let out abrupt short groan when a giant winged reptile crushed them directly under it legs.
"So gargantuan," said Nichya looking from a distance at the creature that seemed unhurried was getting out of the lacrima. Aside from the overwhelming aura of unusually pure and concentrated magical energy aura of magic that it was spreading around itself he had to admit that it had a kind of inner beauty and majesty of the movement.
No hasting he slowly shook head trying to get rid of haze feeling after crossing worlds border. Then slowly stretched one arm, then the other. Next in line were the wings that spread up to then fold as carefully as far his still slightly besotted mind allowed. At the end left stretching both legs by the way noting that he stepped on someone accidentaly when was getting outside the crystal. Shaking them threw the remains of bodies and then slowly sat down. Curling his tail around started to slowly looking around over gathered before him on the ground humans still experiencing symptoms slowly subsiding daze. It was almost a feeling as if has come a long way on some mechanical vehicle.

"Why do you ask?" after a while he asked.
"I have to be sure of something. And only by personally going there I could do it," he replied without haste. "So is there a safe way, apart from being torn to pieces and sucked as I saw myself, of crossing the border?"
"Yes. Come, but since you're dragon slayer it can not really work on you. Even so, you want to try?" Raven answered by nodding his head affirmatively. "What is so important that you are ready to cross the barrier between worlds?"
"Promise. And I can always keep mines," with a voice said Arik.
"With who you made it?"
"Does it matter to whom?" answered the question with a question.
"Yes if you want me to help you," said Mystogan.
"Someone who claimed she came from Edolas in some incomprehensible way. Then was captured by one of the less pleasant dark guild and probably send back. But I'm not sure about that last part so I want to see it so I won't feel remorse over broken promise," he said as they walked slowly away from the the city behind them.
"She introduced herself somehow or you just know her appearance?"
"I know the look and the name. Erza Knightwalker," he replied.
"Knightwalker?" Mystogan stopped for a moment. "Are you sure you just met her?"
"Sometimes impulsive, stubborn, suspicious. I don't know if this behavior was due to stay here and how much of it was her normal behavior." Also, he stopped and looked at the mist mage. "You know her well or just reacted that way to that name?"
"When I still lived in my world she was a commander of one of the divisions of the royal army. Quite similarly behaving as you described," started again. "And then what after you will find her there?"
"I'll come back. Possible same way like you got into our world from there," he pondered for a moment. "You've some dangerous species up there? She mentioned something about some goddess."
"Shagotte. She didn't seem to me such dangerous back in a days. Of course all human know that she could kill if it became necessary, however now I think that she did it only to ensure the safety of her own subordinates," after that Arik asked for anything more about her Jellal race continued. "They look like little talking cats walking on its hind legs. Guild, which I am member now seems to have one of them. It is blue and they calling him... Happy."
"Now I think a few of our members also have little talking cats. I don't know too much about them. Just a few years ago showed up and quickly became members of the guild," feeling that slowly deviate from the topic continued after a pause. "But I didn't looked for you to talk about cats, even if they can talk. If you know now who I want to find out there can I count on your help?"
Mystogan went silent a moment before answering. "I'll help and in returning the favor someday you will help me."
"Of course. So I have to somehow get ready before another Anima appear?"
"You'll have to find a time when travel with me. Will it be a big problem for you? Preparations shouldn't take more than half a day."
"Then I have to visit for a moment Hargeon. Because even if we quickly find Anima return may take a while. I prefer to order for now local issues I got at hand before going to another world," answered on what his interlocutor agreed to travel towards the port town.
"Greetings Father," he began when found the older Raven.
"Arik. I thought that will take longer for you to travel around the country before returning back here," said Bruce then greeted his son.
"Remember how a few days ago I stayed with the person who claimed that she didn't come from our world?" ojcie nodded at what he continued. "As you know, I promised to make sure that she's safe so with the help of one of the local mages," he pointed in the direction of standing next to him Mystogan, "I will go to the world where she came from."
"And you visited here because?"
"I don't know how much time it will take to find a passage to the other side and then how to find return way. So I would prefer to relay custody in my region of the continent to one of my younger brothers," sniffed the air for a moment.
"You no need to check. Kazuki a little after you left went on his way back to the guild building in Caelum," said senior Raven. "Other brothers should be in their local guild buildings too."
"Hmm," mused the younger man. "Pulling off them would be more trouble than turning back Kazuki hatchling. Can you do that? Please."
"He won't be pleased by that but I can try," said father.
"When he will come back say that I will in return take care of his territory when he would need some free time for himself," he said and bidding farewell to Bruce left with Jellal the building.
"We can now take care of the preparations?" asked walking beside mist mage as they walked through the streets of Hargeon toward the exit of the city on what asked just nodded in agreement.
"Who was this hunk with Arik?" Bruce heard a woman's voice behind him. Turning slowly saw Gianna leaning against the wall. "What, he had a very intriguing scent."
"Ehh Yagyu you better pick a job and go finish it than hanging around the building," Raven sighed. "Practicaly each member of this local branch of the guild has already picked at least one job but you still looking throu available ones without selecting anything for yourself."
"Gianna is just waiting for a suitable job," laughed a small cat with golden hair wearing a pretty skimpy attire similar to top and mini, both in the colors pink just like her eyes color. "She can't just grab any, right?"
"Of course Hitomi," said lightning slayer. "You have to choose job that is stylish. Speaking of does really Kazuki although he has recently left us would be comming back to supervise the situation in both his and his brother territories?"
"If he agrees," he replied and starting walking passed by her, "as long he agrees."
"He would certainly agree," when he was walking away said cat. "And as he comes maybe we could a little 'play' with him, right?"
"Of course," said Yagyu and headed towards her room. "I think I need to dress up so as when he come I won't walk around in such poor clothes..."
"Nom. Unless he would be turned back along with Isabella..." interjected Hitomi.
"No." She stopped. "Don't even mention the bland, colorless and suspicious woman. Kazuki should have choose me for his fiancée. Together we can do so much 'more pleasant' things than with that librarian girl."
"So maybe it's better that they assigned him that gray mouse, right? It will be easier to get what you want in case 'that time' will be approaching."
"Yes. Though I don't know whether stability fits me," sighed Gianna walking again. "Although if he would have been selected all that power in the guild what would he and his partner is so tempting... Yes I definitely need to change clothes."
Caelum, Matutinus northern coast, near Spes
Three of them traveled by carriage when suddenly the coachman stopped.
"What happened?" One of them looked outside and heard that in front of them on the road laying some body.
"He said that our way blocking some corpse," he said to the other two companions. A moment later they heard the sound of coachman jumping off to the ground and gradualy getting quieter footsteps.
"It's a bad sign," said a bit scared second men with average height in comparison to the other two.
"You see bad omens everywhere. A week ago at the inn, three days ago in..." he turned to a third one, "where was it?"
"In the nearby building of one of the local guild," he said.
"There you go. Everywhere you see signs of bad luck, misfortune and everything what is worst," lively gesticulating to support own words spoken inbetwee heigh of them. When he took a break before the next tirade in front of the carriage with a bang hit something.
"And what now?"
"This is not a good sign," opined most superstitious of the passengers.
"Nonsense..." he interrupted when heard the neighing of horses. When his companion tried again mumble something about bad luck interrupted. "Again that your fears. See I'll get out of the carriage and find that everything is fine."
"Just as I thought," he said after a long moment when you get out and looked before horses. Although no longer their were neighing as loud as moment ago were still seemed restless and stepping nervously moving from time to time their hooves.
'Where the coachman went?' thought the man having done a few steps toward the front of the car. It was then that he noticed some movement at the corner of his eye so turned head in that direction.
"What the?" muttered when behind near the edge of the road tree he noticed a figure around, which seemed to be swarming shadows. He looked into it seemly white eyes until it literally melted into the shadow cast on the ground. Sitting in the carriage, silent person slightly moved.
"Magic," he said quietly on what still being in the middle other man looked in his direction. "Someone nearby had just used magic."
At this time their companion outside finaly reach the front of the carrige and looked at the place where normally would sit coachman froze. He knew now what was that noise. Coachman, which he didn't see after leaving inside or more precise... his remnants were lying there. Blood seeping from open wounds started to drip slowly to the ground. Then again somewhere at the perception border he noticed some movement.
"Noooo," his cry reached the other two when again something hit the side of the carriage but this time with such force that for a short moment ballanced on two wheels and them with a bang land back on all wheels. Then came a voice as if something would be crushed and torn.
"Dark magic," managed to shout taller man inside before the whole car literally turned on its side after another hit. In the chaos shorter man crawled out and not looking back started running away somewhere in the fields. Mage after escaping outside looking around walked a little slower preparing for a possible attack.
Then from behind an overturned carriage emerged 'something'. Accurate description as he noted mentaly to something that seemed to be an amalgam of several people connected in a grotesque way. Standing at five feet with another two unnaturally elongated, which from time to time was touching the ground and then lifting up, asymmetrical torso from which somewhere around the right breast was face staring at him. On the neck if it could be called that was one normal head and the other on unnaturally elongated neck head having at the side of the face attatched half of another. Somewhere on the back sprouted two grotesquely oversized arms ending in three and seven fingers and in normal arms place on the left was a pair of completely normal human arms but the right was something which was probably used to been arm and now had the appearance of a giant bone blade attatched to a short fragment of a limb.
"Fre..s..h me...at," muttered creature when slowly walked around laying car until nothing seperated it form the mage, which taking great care looked around. Next to sill writhing after a sudden roll horses still tied to the harness on the ground lay the remains of the coachmen. The man, who had came out earlier was nowhere in sight.
"Cr...us...h," stammered out again next word creature when slightly leaning rushed straight at it target partialy spreading to the sides his arms and setting horizontally arm ending with bone blade. Concdentrating and using some of his mana used one of the two magic he knew. A charging monster without slowing phased throu him without doing any harm. Many yards behind it finally stopped as if it had noticed that a long time ago has passed its target. Using this moment mage went running to the overturned car.
At the same time, his companion muttering about bad luck fled across the field without even looking where he runs until hit something and fell down. Panicked, he looked up to see the figure having perhaps two meters height dressed in a dark gray metallic armor made up of many small plates formed into shape of the scales. The helmet was made up of larger pieces also formed in the shape of the scales and didn't have any decorative elements. Face was hid behind two larger pieces of the armor slightly overlapping, so that even the eyes were hidden behind a translucent crystals embedded in it forming a mask. Around the mysterious knight also seemed to still writhe shadows, which together with the state of terror caused that he didn't even know whether inside could be man or a woman.
"Another death and another corpse...," the person finally spoke with low masculine voice, giving the impression as if he was staring at cowering in fear before him man on the ground.
"Mmeee?" managed to mumble a man.
"Did you see someone else here?" Knight slowly stretched out his right arm as if he was reaching for something on the side. A moment later in his hand materialized a two meters long double-sided spear.

Next chapter: Emotion(less)

A/N: A little not so important stuff yet better if all knew it anyway. Matutinus is one of seven islands of Caelus country (the on at the east been one of largest one or maybe looking at some pics with FT earthland map even the largest one among all seven - it's on south from Fiore and is at west from Minstrel) and as most of cities/countries have italian names this one mean dawn. Spes mean Hope. Later when time come would throw explain for other islands/cities names in Caelum and maybe if action get so world wide in other countries (Magical Evolutionis action for sure will make go beyond Fiore/Caelum countries at some point).
A/N v2: And we got some new faces (really I found earthland Minerva interesting that decided throw her edolas counterpart which....is only frienly rivaling with Knightwalker really been her trusted minion. And no she won't ape shift like her earthland version staying till the end as case of Dark Action Girl (not the same as Dark Magical Girl)). Plus more exceeds (after Kanna and Samson ones now we meeting Gianna, whcih... well reflect her slayer personality to some degree in pick of clothes and manners). Also two new and shiny magic effect at the end (on them would mumble more at next chapter as would be some even more new magical stuff up there).
