Chapter 14: Shadow Girl.

"C'mon don't leave just yet, the party has just begun." Alistor said as he faces of the cloaked shadowy person. He continued "I sensed a similar source, what are you?"

The cloaked shadow did not talk.

"Not talking... Fine then, we must settle this like gentlemen," Alistor said and summons five shadows balls that were completely harmless to the environment and attacks the cloaked shadow figure, the cloaked shadow dodged as she vanished from sight and appeared up the roof, he continued "Oh, it seems that you dodge that pretty quick then how about this?", then the foot of the cloaked figure was grabbed by a multiple shadow hand from below and slowly grabbed its entire body, as it can't get off nor escape. He continued "Seems you are finished, now let's see what's under the hood." As the cloaked shadow was struggling to escape the shadow hand, as Alistor slowly grabs the hood of the cloaked shadow, he then saw a girl under the hood, and was staring at him menacingly, he had a blank face as a response. he continued "Seems that there is a little lady under the hood, I'm gonna enjoy this." Alistor smirked and she struggles to escape but failed and Alistor pushed her to the shadows and was teleported to his room in the Inn, Alistor telepathically called Micreal and Micreal then tells Nao to come back to the room in the Inn.

"You called sir?" Micreal says as he opens the door and then he saw a girl that was tied down a chair with shadow ropes, so shadow-like entities can't escape. He continued "Sir, why is there a girl tied on the chair, with the shadow rope at that, is there something wrong?"

Nao also went into the room, carrying all the vegetables and meat Micreal and her bought she said "ALISTOR KIDNAPPED A GIRL!!"

"You are mistaken Nao, she is a shadow, that is not mine, but has similar mana like mine" Alistor then calms Nao down with a response.

"If she is not yours, then who is she?" Micreal asks.

"That's what I wanna find out" Alistor said as he unties the young lady and the lady then disappeared from sight and hits the wall, as Alistor giggle a bit and said, "Its shadow proof young lady, other than us, no shadow can escape nor enter, but a normal human being can, so I ask you to sit down and tell us who you are."

The young lady did what she was told and sat down the chair as she complies because it was the only option she had left.

"Good, now first, we must introduce ourselves. Hello, my name is Alistor, this is my butler, Micreal..." then Micreal bows at her while his hand on his chest "...and that girl standing over there is my disciple, Nao." Nao then waves hello while smiling at her and he continued "So what is your name, young lady?"

The young lady then slowly tells her name in a small voice at first, she said "-soris..."

"What? I couldn't quite hear you, can you say that again?" Alistor said as he tells her to do it again.

"MY NAME IS DISARIS!" The young lady then shouts at Alistor as Alistor then blinks twice as he heard her soft voice.

"Wow, now that's what I call a loud voice" Alistor smiled and continued "Well, hello Disaris, why did you stalk us earlier, I noticed your presence since we entered the Harbor."

"I...I didn't mean to... A letter told me to come here.." Disaris said as she lowers her head watching the floor.

"May I ask to let me see the letter?" Alistor said as he opens his hand to her, and She gets the letter from her pocket and gave the letter to Alistor, it said: "Go to the harbor in five days, you will meet a person there, you will know when you have arrived"

Alistor continued "It's just like mine, I received a letter from this unknown person, it seems that it was planned quite well." Alistor thought to himself while his hand was placed under his chin."But it said that this person knows how to get out of this world... Odd."

"When I came into the harbor, I got this strange feeling and it was leading me to somewhere, and I found out it was you, so I followed you around the harbor and saw you inside the Inn, so I went to the window and you notice me there, I did everything to make me unnoticed, but you still noticed me, how?" Disaris asked Alistor as they looked at her.

Alistor smiled and said, "A shadow knows another shadows feeling if a shadow is nearby, If I spot another shadow like you, I can feel their heart beating, just like the strange feeling you experience, it's like a navigation machine, but I'm surprised that you didn't sense Micreals beating heart, Even though he is also a shadow."

Disaris then looked at Micreal and Micreal said "Yes, indeed, I am a shadow also"

"Sorry to interrupt, but I'm very confused... How come there is two shadow Elementalist, it only appears once in every decade, what are the chances..." Nao raised her hand as she questioned them.

Alistor stands up and said "Nao, you may not believe this..."

"Sir!" Micreal tries to stop Alistor from saying the secret.

"....But I am not from this world, I'm from a different realm," Alistor said to Nao, and the room was quiet as Micreal tries to stop Alistor but failed.

Nao's face was blank and blinked twice "eh Not that surprised..."

"Wait you believe me?" Alistor said as he looks at Nao.

"Yes, one, your power is very strong, two. you are almost undefeatable, and three you are very attractive...." Nao said as she blushed on the last part of her sentence.

"Thank you for the compliment Nao, I truly love compliments," Alistor said as Nao mumbles while Alistor was patting her while smiling.

"So, What are we gonna do now?" Disaris asked them.

"Good question, that's what I also want to ask you." Alistor said as he questions them and a knock on the door was heard from the inside and Micreal opened the door and received a letter from the girl from the counter, and he thanks her.

"Sir, we received a letter" Micreal said as he passed it on to Alistor

Alistor then opens the letter as the letter says: "You have been united I see, your next task is to cross the ocean and by the time you arrive at Standare Island, You will be greeted by a person, and he will take you from there, I am hoping to meet you soon."

"It seems that this person knows about us, we have no choice but to comply." Alistor said as he stands up.

"But sir, what if its a trap?" Micreal asked Alistor as he stands up.

"Then, let's teach them their own medicine." Alistor said as he clenched his fist up high.

"Yay Adventure!" Nao exclaims

As Disaris looked down at the floor not knowing what to do, Alistor then said "Disaris, come with us" as he stretches his hand out to her.

Disaris then slowly takes Alistor's hand and stands up, then she nods in response.

"Great, but first we must stock up in supplies" Alistor said as he pulls Disaris up slowly.

"We already did that sir." Micreal reminds Alistor and lets him see the supplies from the side.

"Ok good, everyone you may roam around the harbor, but not too far, I'll give you one gold each, you can do whatever you want with it. " Alistor said as he gives a piece of gold to Nao, Micreal, and Disaris.

"But, we just met?" Disaris said as she didn't know why she was given a piece of gold.

"Yes, but once you're with me, you are also part of my group, no man is an Island, or I rather say woman, plus you don't have any money do you?" Alistor said as he gives a piece of gold.

"I used all of it for the travel expenses..." Disaris said as she looks down.

'Then we have more the reason to give one to you." Alistor said and walks away saying "Ok, Everyone, be back here at Five O'clock in the afternoon, we don't wanna miss dinner served from this Inn."

Nao, and Micreal nods, as Disaris looked at a piece of gold then nods in response, then they went outside and went to buy anything they want from the harbor. A long journey awaits them and they don't wanna miss it, especially how Alistor wants to find a way back home.
