Preparations

Aveline was staring up at the massive ship she had been permitted to use by her aunt. She knew nothing about ships, but the sailors that worked on it put her mind at ease as they worked hard and long to make sure it was in top shape. She was to set out in a mere few days, ready to sail towards three separate kingdoms! However, she had three girls she was ready to save in the kingdom she was situated in.

Aveline left the port connected to the Academy and made her way into town, heading away from the Academy as well. Once she reached town, Aveline snuck her way through the buildings towards the castle itself. She had heard a number of rumors about the king since she had returned, many being terrible. Her focus was on the girls, so stealth became her asset. Using shadow magic, she sped through.

Making it inside the castle, away from prying eyes, Aveline cut her magic to save her strength. Having been a terribly over the top fan, Aveline had the castle map on display in her past life's room. Even she felt a little creeped out now, though she was glad she knew the layout.

'I should've come here sooner. At this rate, they're in even more danger, yet the castle guard has finally let loose. Sadly, waiting was my best opportunity to get inside. Damnable hunting event.'

Heading lower, towards the dungeon cells, Aveline could feel a strange aura radiate from deep within. She smirked, realizing she had a guest.

"This bastard..."

Picking up speed, Aveline darted through the dungeon. It was wholly unguarded, something even the hunting event wouldn't permit. Descending to the lowest level, she came to a halt in a room that wasn't supposed to be there. It was rather large, built entirely from cobblestone.

"There you are."

Standing in the middle of the room was a woman with fiery eyes. She was unknown, and not the guest Aveline had expected.

"I hear you found my assassin's quite easily. Even tamed them with your charms. Too bad, they'll die before your very eyes! My king has ordered me to do so, so in his name I shall kill them all!"

Her face had become perverted. Aveline became uncomfortable, easily noticing that this woman wasn't even corrupted. She just had a massive lady boner for killing.

"So all three are here?"

"Of course. My king no longer has need for some relenting daughter and a nekomata that defies him. That blasted fox too. I'm glad I was the one to administer her punishment."

Aveline smiled. It was devoid of emotion as her body flitted over to the woman. She was taken aback, nearly falling over, but Aveline grabbed her by her throat.

"Hehe. I could have sworn you said you punished her. Your king will be dealt with for all of his wrongs, but you're right here. You've put yourself in danger."

With a quick flick of her wrist, Aveline sent the woman towards the wall. She landed hard, dust bursting from the cracks in the stone.

"If she's so much as missing a hair on her head, you're dead. My patience has worn thin enough to even consider killing again. *sigh* I'm truly pathetic."

She left the woman sealed in vines, then headed towards the only door that she could see. As soon as she stepped inside, Aveline nearly fell to her knees. Her eyes watered and her stomach nearly broke on her. She slowly stepped inside, her hands shaking as she neared the three girls chained to the wall.

"You three have dealt with too much. Seriously, this is disgusting."

Aveline could see countless gashes across all three girls bodies. All three were not even awake, but Aveline could see the irregular rise and fall of their breathing. Anger took hold, as well as sadness.

Orphelia had the worst of it, a major gash obviously destroying her sight in one eye. She hung limply, almost barely held up by the chains. Aveline broke her chains first, practically tearing the metal band with her inhuman strength.

Second was Rune. Her blood was rather dry, so she hadn't been touched in some time, but Aveline could see that they dug into her old scars, marring them further. She was almost sure that her hearing was gone.

The third was broken, then all three were laid down out of the room. That was when Aveline finally saw it. Anya had a broken nose, a knife wound that was sewn up over her eye and her fluffy fox ears had been gashed and torn apart.

Aveline stared at the ceiling, her tears beginning to flow faster. She tried to calm her breathing, allowing her magic to flow towards her shoulder. A gleaming golden wing burst from her back, followed by a second.

"I'm about to use a spell that will drain my magic to a crazy extent! You all three... you better survive!"

From behind her, Aveline could hear the assassin.

"M-magic? This room has countless wards and barriers to prevent such casting! How did you break them?!"

"I forgot about you."

The lady slowly lost her ability to speak, her body wrapped tighter and tighter until she snapped within the vines.

"Now. I need to fully transform."

She smiled down at the girls as her deep black hair took on a fully white shimmer. Her irises even deepened to a silvery white. A flowing white gown, adorned with beautiful golden armor, covered her body. Her feet were left bare while her arms had silvery white tattoos flow across. Her lips perked up as her eyes began to flash with delight.

"You'll all be healed in a moment! Hehe."
