Chapter 40: Modan Village (1)

Caspian didn't have any choice but to come with them, he went back to the dorm to change his uniform, why did he even bother to wear his uniform if he's only going to be drag to the Village.

Caspian managed to bumped into Eli, who he presumed that the meeting is over. Eli looked at him up and down, wondering why he's not in his uniform.

"Oh, this is a secret but I am going to the Modan village, actually I was force to come so don't tell anyone about this."

Eli nodded, even if Caspian didn't warned her about the secret, she's not going to gossip around the whole school like a freaking backstabber.

"Of course, and goodluck. Don't hurt yourself during that,"

The people who are going with them to the Modan is The Headmaster itself, Instructor David, Alistair, Vlad, Daewi, Raven ( The Representative of the Darkness Faction), Arthur and finally Caspian.

He walked towards the forest, where they will teleport at the village right away, the dorm at the location the Headmaster said is near, so he don't have to worry about running.

At the distant, he can see the figures of the people who will go as well at the village, he step on some twigs earning some looks at where the noises were heard, they relaxed when they saw him.

"Is everybody ready?"

The Headmaster asked, placing scrolls down on the grass blocks, Caspian gulped.

This bring memories from the first day of here at the academy, he collapse because his body can't take too much mana from the teleportation, if only they could walk but before they know it, the village is alrrady on the hand's of that Demon king.

They all nodded, Caspian stuck close to Vlad but he was pulled to the side by Arthur, the older male was whistling but he didn't let go of the Younger male clothes, it almost tear because how tight he was gripping.

The scrolls started to glow one by one, a huge circle with pattern suddenly appear under them, their figures glow, but no the glowing part is under them.

Caspian closed his eyes and even sticked closer to Arthur, the feeling is weird but it's not that bad like the one from before.

The weird feeling finally disappeared and the moment he opened his eyes. A wonderful place greeted him in the face.

Right now, they are at the biggest village in the Border line;Modan.

The settlement itself looks humble. With its silky oak wood rooftops, lavastone walls and lucious gardens, Modan has a mystical atmosphere.The main attraction is the huge 6ft tall of a statue of Ophelia, which was built to honor the Hero.

"Are you okay Caspian?" Vlad came near him to question the boy, Vlad looked at the boy and this time he is much more in a healthy state than the first time they did it.

"Im fine, it feels a little weird but I got the hang of it." Caspian smiled, some birds landed on his head, even a baby bird landed on his shoulder and rub it's head on Caspian cheek.

This was a lovely sight for everyone, a minor male who look like Snow White, is earning some attention from the animals, Vlad is definitely jealous because of this, he didn't even wonder why him; A part of nature, were being ignored by animals, he didn't even smell at all.

Arthur aura darkened, seeing a bird can feel Caspian cheeks, his pride hurt because of that damn bird, it's stupid but he's jealous of the small animal.

"That's good to know," Vlad reached out to ruffle the Boy's but before his hand can touched the pink locks, his hand was slap away by Arthur.

The birds flew away from the sudden movement from a stranger, some even chirped angrily towards the Prince but he didn't even bothered looking at them.

"You better take care of that hand, don't wanna lose it right?" Arthur vicious tone made the Nature boy back away.

"Stop it will yah?" Caspian pushed the two male's away, giving Vlad a smile before turning his head to looked at Arthur, he only stared at him before taking a step forward, avoiding the two tall figures.

"This is the Modan Village, it's pretty right?"

The Headmaster smiled as she glance around the place, admiring the place as if it's her first time going here.

It's already her 15th time going here, sometimes greeting the citizens and even doing a magic show for the children.

"Until now, im still amazed how the citizen here maintained the glory of this place.This is also Ophelia hometown," Instructor David said, his hand touching the statue, his hand glowed bright before it died down.

"Right, I contacted the Mayor now, so he'll welcomed us here." Daewi was holding a bird, not an ordinary bird but a fire covered one.

It flew down to his arm and gave a small flame as a food. Now, he really want to have a pet so he can train it to be a spy!

"That's good, so all we have to do is wait."

The Mayor arrived with a smaller female at his side, the mayor of the village looked pretty young than Caspian expected.

Long blue hair tied into a low ponytail as it place on his shoulder, ruby eyes who look larger than some of the males. He stood a little taller than Caspian but you can see that his body is huge than Caspian weak thin body.

The female beside him wear a black framed glasses with short bright green with a clip on her hair, a pair of black charcoal eyes staring at them.

"It's nice to see alot of people coming with you Adelaide, shall we chat at my place?"

----

The Mayor, lead them into of the one most beautiful house in the town, despite looking simple than the rest.It stood at the top of a small mountain that overlook the town, the walls are made with stone that was painted with white, the rooftop is also made with Oak wood just like the rest except is was painted with red dye, different variant of flowers are planted on the ground as well a huge tree with a swing on it.

They entered the house and The Mayor's wife greeted them with a bunch of cookies.

"We have guest! Not one but alot! Here, have some cookies." The female shoved the cookies on Caspian arms, it smells delicious.

"Thank you Madam,"

The Mayor led them downstair, where the basement is located, once they step diwn the stairs, it's very different from the rest of the usual basement people have.

You could say that this basement is made for business, meeting or even a hideout.

"Now, did you guys need my help?" The Mayor place both of his hand at the table, he still have the smile adorned his face.

Caspian opened the bag that held the cookies, he took a bite and the flavors burst inside his mouth. It's a little hot but that make sit more delicious.

The Headmaster snap her finger and a files appear on thin air, must be placed inside the Spatial space, the files floated and landed on the table made with wood that is polished.

The mayor raised his eyebrow, wondering what's the purpose of the files that was given to him by the Headmaster.

Adelaide can mail this but she went to give it to him personally and even bring a bunch of kids?

He stared at Adelaide before taking the file, Caspian didn't know the content of that file but that is probably important, seeing how the Mayor smiley face turned into frown, and suddenly turned into a scowl.

"Evacuate my people?" The Mayor voice cracked, his hand shaking as he keep reading the content of the files he have on his hand.

"Yes, Samael plan to take over the Border line, I sent the others to warned them and evacuate the people living there.We still have ti—"

Adelaide was cut off when the table started to shake, the mug that Vlad was holding is shaking as well, the mayor calm demeanor wasn't startled at the moving table but it stop.

"Adelaide, I know that some demons are lurking around but you don't have any evidence saying that Samael will grab the chance to take over the Border line, he was unsealed but that doesn't mean he have any strength left to fight." The Mayor massaged his temples, trying not to get headache but it already started.

"You know that I have alot of capable students to infiltrate the castle right? Raven is also one of the spy I sent, he heard that Samael is talking to someone, about taking the Border line."

"Even if the Demon king try to take the border line, we will not leave. This is Ophelia's hometown! I can't just leave it!"

"And so you are willing to let this people died in his hand?!" David suddenly interupt the conversation with a yelled.

Caspian looked down to play with the cookies that the female gave to him earlier,

Daewi took one as well Arthur.

"We can fight! I can protect the village and the people!"

"Listen here Peter, Samael have someone with him! Even worse that person might be the next Demon King! We do not know what that person capable of!"

"Listen here Adelaide," The Mayor flung the files, the paper scattered everywhere.

Not that any one mind that but the problem is the mayor is mad, his blue hair started to float around him, his iris turning black even his skin started to change it's color.

'What the hell is happening, im questioning my life right now.'

Alistair activated a shield around them.Shielding the members from the Mayor, Adelaide gulped, she was expecting that this conversation won't end in a fight, she have children with her.

"I promised my grandmother that I will protect the Town, the town where the hero rised.It's best to protect her village, she sacrificed her life for us!"

"Peter, we don't have a choice! It's also breaking my heart the thought of leaving Modan at the hand's of the Demon King! We are still not prepared for this."

Adelaide, her face is beet red from all the yelling she could muster just to proved something to Peter.

She knows how much this place means to Peter but what will happen to the citizens if they died or worst be a slave to the devils.

The thought of her friend Ophelia is already heartbreaking, but it got worst when Samael is thinking of taking over Modan, the town where the hero rised.
