Chapter 47: The Citadel

In an hour from now the Shining Knights and company will arrive at their destination, the Citadel. Which they believe where Ava, Stella's sister is being kept by the remaining Scorching Scorpions.

But before they were travelling they stopped at a village not knowing it's dark story, but thanks to the souls of the children who were there, Violet and the others managed to survive the hellish scene.

And now Cv enters now enters the fray with their journey to the Citadel, for his reasons are about to revealed.

Connor rests his hand on his face and says,

"Geez I've got a pretty bad headache now!!."

Violet enters the room with Cv, Cameron, Emilia and Xander were still heavily asleep, Connor then asks,

"Cv? it's nice to see you my friend."

He stands up from his chair and talks to Cv casually Violet then places her hand on her chest and says,

"Boss, I believe Cv has an objective the same as ours."

Cv: I wanted allies to help me rescue my friend trapped in the citadel, when we first met I was suppose to ask for your help but you guys left when I was about to.

Connor takes his seat, thinking, analyzing, and they're goals don't exactly get in their way, to be frank it benefits them with all the support they could need, he says,

"So you've been in the Citadel before?."

Cv: Correct, I can lead you all inside, but for what purpose are you heading into the tower of Despair?

The droid asked out of curiosity, Violet was silent, Oliver was paying attention to their conversation while the others were fast asleep, Gwyn was at the drivers seat.

Connor: The same as yours, we have a friend there who's trap and we're going to get her out of there.

Cv: Joy, our paths don't intertwine with each other I would like to humbly ask to join you on your journey to the tower of despair.

The droid bows its metal head and for the first time Connor and the others in the room experienced a droid acting like a human would, showed emotions, it's loyalty on saving his friend but one thing was stuck in Connor's mind he asked,

"What do you mean by the Tower of Despair?."

Cv: Ah yes you called it the Citadel now right?, well before it used to be called that, the Tower of Despair, It had lots of gold and treasures some even say, treasures that were collected by Gilgamesh were there It's a happy life once people know there's a stockpile of gold. But they never knew that once you enter the tower the owner there would trap you forever making you one of its treasures as gold and weapons weren't enough for the owner that he had to collect people too.

Violet, who was right next Cv decided to take a seat and listened to it give them information they can use and at the same time it's plan.

Cv: My friend and I were suppose to bring gold over to our village, we live in a poor one and I was built by him. but by the time we got there he pushed me back outside, I don't understand his logic of shoving me out.... That's why I'm going to save him, I tried for days but the door wouldn't opened, I waited around to see if it would open again, I saw travelers who were about to enter the tower and the doors opened and shut tight once they entered.

Connor: Hmm sounds like fortification magic... Alright Cv you can come with us.

Connor heads to the drivers seat to give Gwyn the information he got from Cv as Violet hits the droid letting out a huge smile saying,

"Good for ya Cv! you get to be with one of the best knights in the kingdom HAHAHA."

Cv: Kingdom? you're all from the kingdom?

Violet: Yup, why?

Cv: I haven't seen a knight from the kingdom before, but now I have.

Violet: Well we're not exactly a confirmed squad yet but this year we will be.

Cv: Then I wish you the best of luck, to you and your squad.

The droid heads towards the door, Oliver was fast asleep like the rest and Violet asks,

"Where are you going?."

Cv: Well I have my own ride.

It proceeds to get outside as Violet places both her arms behind her head as she closes her eyes for a rest.

Connor was just telling Gwyn everything and he asked,

"Fortification magic?."

Gwyn: No, it sounds more like Illusion magic to me.

Connor: How so?

Gwyn: Well I can't say for sure but it's what I think from what you told me just now, we'll just find out once we get there.

They began their hour drive towards the Citadel, Cv was following the van with it's half metal lizard.

An hour has passed and there were no problems here or there during the travel, Cameron and the others managed to wake up and lost all their memories about the village, Oliver, who was outside the van noticed Cameron and Emilia go outside and he asked,

"And? you two now alright?."

Cameron: Well of course we are, why wouldn't it be?.

Oliver: Yeah... ummm okay.

The two proceed to head towards Connor and the others who were at the front gates of the Citadel.

Cv: They've lost their memories all related to the Village.

Oliver: That can happen!?

Cv: Just let them be, the mind can access many information around the world, but what they found in that village was information too much their mind could handle

Oliver: I se-- just what the hell did I miss!?

Connor calls out to them, watching the tower from below, for some reason the droid starred at the tower as a few minutes later everyone was now complete.

Gwyn who was checking around the citadel managed to get to a conclusion and said,

"Yep this is Illusion magic."

Cv: Magic?

Gwyn simply destroyed a part of the citadel and the missing parts were replaced by new ones made by mana.

Connor: Then there must be a mage from the kingdom here!

Gwyn: Did you really forget about the Scorching Scorpion members who were still here.

Connor: Oh yeah hehehe.

Now out of options Violet notices a movement from a far,

"Hey you!!."

Everyone reacted as Violet leapt over to the guy and aimed her sword at his throat the guy pleads,

"Please don't kill me!! Pleasee!!."

Violet: A scorching scorpion heh! tell us where your hideout is!

she slams her sword on the ground causing great fear to the regular member as he spills out the information he has.

A few minutes have passed and Violet now has learned where their base truly is and instead of killing the guy she tied him up and beaten him unconscious.

Violet: Boss! I found their base it's right over that hill.

Connor: Very good Violet.

The droid walks to Connor and asks,

"If the tower was made by magic, does that mean?."

Connor: Your friend might be in the enemy base

The droid acts to be calm and lets out a sigh of relief as Connor thoughts to himself,

"Don't worry Stella we'll save your sister."
