Twelve Knights

— Rose's Point of View —

I followed what she said and closed my eyes. Gladly, in a matter of a few seconds everything then came back to life and all of my memories were restored.

The woman with the purple eyes smiled at me and gave me a bow. "I wish you the best of luck, my sister."

I grabbed her by the hand and then I grabbed her tight. My arms wrapped around her shoulders and with tears on my eyes I spoke, "thank you."

"What's your name?" I asked after I let go of my hug and wiped the tears in my eyes.

"I'm Veronica... Veronica Crown."

"Close your eyes now, Rose. Riona is waiting for you." She once again said and then she gave me a bow.

I obliged and closed my eyes, and on the moment I opened them. Riona and Aexis was indeed waiting for me. They were watching me as I went into something worth my time.

"Rose..." Aexis said and then she pointed at my hair. With my shock, a portion of my blonde hair turned brunette. Wondering what was the reason I turned my gaze to Riona and I looked deeply into her eyes and I saw how shock she was.

"How... How... How were you able to travel into the multiverse by astral projection!?!?" She yelled in so much shock.

I then gave her a fake smile and then I held my wounded palm and closed my eyes. I focused my energy to my palm and on the moment I opened my eyes. My wound is gone. The bleeding stopped and I stood and raised Riona who is sitting on the floor beside Aexis.

"Sister Riona... we need to go back and travel to the land of Ordan. We need to move fast because we don't have a lot of time." I said and then Sister Riona's eyes widened in shock.

"How did you??? How did you remember?" Sister Riona asked and then I chuckled before replying to her.

"Someone from somewhere helped me find out the truth about myself and on what has happened in my life." I said and then I gave Sister Riona a warm hug.

"I have found out the truth of what has happened, and that I wasn't just simply adopted back when I was a baby. That something happened that forced all of this chaos to happen. And I think we should talk about it later, it's not safe for us to talk outside, especially that I can feel a dark aura watching us right now." I said and then she nodded.

"What about me?" Aexis asked.

I held her hand and then I answered her question. "You are coming with us, well since you already know what is happening in this world, well we need more forces right now aren't we?"

I turned to Riona and then she nodded. "Then what are we waiting for?!" Aexis exclaimed in so much excitement and joy.

With our shock, we heard a loud bang on the door. I swiftly went out of the room and then took a peek of what was happening downstairs and there was three men wearing an armor. With swords and shield on both of their hands. With a thought that they might be our enemy I went back to the room and held Sister Riona and Aexis' hands. "I need to get the both of you out of here. Now. I still have business to attend to." I said and Sister Riona replied.

"We know but your powers—" I turned to her and my sapphire eyes started glowing.

"My powers are back, Sister." I said and then I used my magic to teleport Sister Riona outside the woods. Near the pathway to the city, and I was shocked when we are surrounded by a lot of warriors. Less than a dozen, I guess around nine.

"You... The last descendant of Ordan. We need to take you, and to kill you. Ordered by the Princess of Hell you need to be executed once and for all." Spoke one of the warriors.

"Hey boys." I greeted and I grinned. "You know that's not the proper way for you to greet a lady." I added and then raised my right hand.

"Remember my name! Rose Crown. I who will make you suffer like how you made my family suffer!"

I flicked my finger and a sword appeared on my hand. I reached Sister Riona and Aexis and used my magic to teleport then to Aexis' apartment, leaving me alone in the woods with the nine knights. And with my shock the other three came.

Twelve Knights huh.

I leaped and attacked the first knight and move swiftly attacking them one by one. I wasn't shock when they moved together to attack me with their swords.

I used my magic to lock a few knights on the ground, burying their feet so that they won't be able to move for a few minutes which will give me time to hit the knees of my enemies. I have no plan of killing them— yet.

What I need right now, is to know what their hidden agenda is before anything else.

I moved and stroked my sword to their knees, wounding them that way they won't be able to walk. One by one I moved quickly and swiftly. Repeatedly attacking and dodging their attacks.

When everyone was down. I raised my hand and my sword disappeared. A smile then curved onto my lips when I saw how quickly I did the work. I can finally say that I'm back in business.

I went near to one of the knights and smiled at him before speaking, "I spare all of you not because I'm too merciful and weak to kill you, but for you to deliver this as a warning and a message to whoever send you."

I pulled his hand and wounded his palm.

"Never mess with me. Even if you are Hell, you will pay more than that."
