Revenge

My group made it to a fort named Helios and saw Mei Fang waiting for us. Vivi got off her horse and went towards her and crouched down beside her. Mei Fang watched a woman who was at the fort.

"What's going on..?" Vivi quietly asked.

"That person...her name is Persula. She is a summoner and she runs solo for some reason..." Mei Fang said.

I stopped my horse and looked at Persula and had a flashback then glared. Adriesta looked at me then Persula.

"She was one of them?" Adriesta asked.

"Yeah.." I nodded. "Quickly, everyone take cover.."

Everyone got off their horses and hid. A man appeared on his horse and got off then walked towards Persula. Persula sighed and crossed her legs then looked at the man, sipping her tea.

"What is it General Jason?" Persula asked.

"Papa.." Miyuna covered her mouth.

"The Nightmare Assembly could arrive at any moment and you're just here sipping tea..do you have any vigilance in your soul?" Jason said.

"They aren't here are they? Who knows they could've died at Fort Illia.." Persula shrugged.

"We are talking about Stella's army, the woman you and the others failed to kill. The Emperor wasn't so happy about that. Instead of killing her, you all let her live." Jason said.

"I only followed the orders of Zheng Yi. He didn't want to kill her. Now look at him..dead. But we aren't the same Holy Order. We had three commanders at Fort Illia who were extremely powerful.." Persula sipped her tea.

"They are reported dead as well, Persula. Whatever, just make sure you're prepared to fight." Jason got on his horse and his horse galloped off then tripped on magical string Su Yi set up.

I covered his mouth and dragged him in the bush and my eyes glowed and I pulled out a dagger.

"What's the quickest route towards the Kingdom of Baruia..?" I asked.

"Who..are you..?" Jason struggled.

"Answer my question.." I said and brought the dagger closer to his eye. "I will torture you till you speak.."

"Okay okay..after you pass through Fort Helios..there is a path to the left that leads directly towards Kingdom of Baruia.." Jason said.

"Papa.." Miyuna said.

"Miyuna..? Stella has you captured as well?" Jason asked.

"No...I chose to join her. She treats me better than you could ever...where is mama?" Miyuna asked.

"She's...dead...Zephyr sacrificed her to fuel his Ancient Relics.." Jason said.

"More like you allowed it to happen.." I said. "I haven't forgotten about what you all did to my mother either...luckily Miyuna is here because I would have been killed you."

"Do it.." Miyuna said. "He let mama die...I no longer consider him my dad.."

"With pleasure.." I covered Jason's mouth and slit his throat. "Stay here...I'll give you the signal for when you all can come out."

"S...Stea.." Zofia said.

"Do not worry Zofia..I will be back.." I held her cheeks and smiled then crawled from the bush.

Zofia looked at Jason's dead body and her eyes glowed. Zofia had the power of Necromancy and she touched his neck and Jason became her puppet.

"Fwend.." Zofia said and smiled innocently.

Miyuna was impressed with Zofia's ability and looked at her. Zofia smiled at Miyuna and back at Jason.

"Hey!" I yelled walking up to the fort and summoned Holy Eclipse.

"Well well...the Titan herself. You are still alive. I thought you would've killed yourself by now.." Persula sipped her tea and smiled.

"Shut your f*cking mouth, b*tch." I said.

"Or what? You're gonna attack me? Kill me? I already know what you want. You want revenge...I don't blame you..but your mom died a pathetic hero...her name may be widely known, but she's just another dead body in the ground." Persula slammed her teacup down. "So what are you gonna do Stella?"

"I'm so glad I get this chance to take you down..four years have I waited to see your disgusting face...you and your entire family are nothing but annoying slobs. You work for the most pathetic King and a backstabbing Emperor..I can't wait to kill you.." I glared.

Persula stood up and magic circles appeared on the ground and soldiers appeared. I snapped my fingers and Saya dashed from her hiding spot and towards the soldier that was summoned. The soldier went for a slash and Saya blocked the attack and slid under the Soldier then slashed down on the soldier's back and the soldier shattered. Persula looked surprised then Kotome and Victoria tag teamed some of the soldier's, destroying them. Sazuka and Su Yi worked together and took down some of the soldiers. Miyuna summoned her Holy Star and a blizzard appeared and froze most of the soldiers.

"Don't you dare forget about me!" Gloria rode up on her horse then jumped up from the horse and opened her eye and stopped time for 10 seconds and slashed at the soldiers one by one then walked to Persula and punched her face and snapped her fingers, allowing time to start again.

"OW F*CK!!" Persula held her nose and stomped her foot.

Most of the soldiers shattered at once and Gloria smiled. I looked back and saw Jason emitting grey aura and Zofia behind him.

"Fwend!" Zofia smiled at me.

"Not Fwend." I said. "Enemy."

"En...me..?" Zofia tilted her head.

"Yes, very bad man." I nodded.

Zofia nodded quickly understanding and removed her spell from him then Jason's body hit the ground. I smiled and looked back at Persula. She growled and looked at me, pissed off.

"What's the matter Persula? Little baby about to cry? Well cry some more." I said walking to her and markings appeared on the left side of my body. "I've always wanted to thank you all for that welcome party you gave me and my family."

"I hope you die..you ba--" Persula choked on her words as I stabbed her stomach and covered her mouth

"Death will be too kind for you...so instead I'll leave you here to suffer the way I did." I walked her over to the wall and placed her back against the wall and my eyes glowed. "Whether you live or die after this...I'll leave it up to the hands of fate...You will remember my face and the Nightmare Assembly even in the afterlife. Revenge like this...has never been anymore sweeter."

"I...hate you.." Persula's voice was muffled. I leaned in to her ear and whispered.

"Your feelings don't matter anymore...so just shut up." I drove my sword deeper in her stomach.

Persula groaned more and panted. I grinned evilly then slowly and painfully took my sword from her stomach. Persula slid down the wall and to the ground. I looked at her and took out a towel and wiped the blood of my sword and tossed it at her face.

"Enjoy you final breaths on Earth, scum.." I walked back to my horse and my sword vanished from my hand.

My group followed and I hopped on my horse the helped Zofia up on my horse and we headed off towards the path leading to the Kingdom of Baruia. Persula weakly watched us then coughed and looked back at the ground. She closed her eyes and took her final breath and passed away.

Meanwhile at the Kingdom of Baruia....

"Hurry let's go, Aranei. All the guards are down." A woman said.

"Good, but don't you think we should wait until the Nightmare Assembly arrives?" Aranei asked.

"We don't wanna risk getting caught...This is our only chance of escaping. We can meet them halfway." The woman said.

"Alright Artemis.." Aranei nodded.

They jumped out the window and landed on a safety pad they set up. They took a hidden route out of Baruia. The reinforcements were too late getting to the location they already escaped from.

"What are we gonna tell Lord Corvis..? He's gonna be mad when he finds out we couldn't capture the two turncoats.." One guard said.

"We just have to face the consequences...there isn't anything we can do.." The other guard said.

"Right..." The guard sighed and walked off.

They retreated back to the castle and to their posts. Artemis and Aranei already made it out of Baruia and looked around for me.
