Old Friends

"Queen The war of the 7 demons has caused heavy damage to the economy of our kingdom. Many people are asking question for it." a minister said.

" It's well known that people are facing problem. But, kingdom should know that if we lose this war. There wouldn't be a kingdom for economy. Also we the palace will be pumping golds in the economy. For further information you can go to the Royal accountant." Queen spoke.

" Your majesty, there is another problem there is a problem with demons in southern territory. A large group of demons are stopping the flow of river to many Southern territory." Another minister said.

Queen said, " Lord igneous what is the situation of those demons."

A knight in a red armour came forward and said, " We got this information tomorrow we already sent some fifth circle mages there."

" It will be good if they can solve the problem but, if there is any problem you personally go and check, we can't lose any mages because of ignorance."

Later part of Court went smoothly. Soon there came a news from south that there could be a presence of a general ranked demon. So, igneous personally went to South.

Next day Gloria was walking in her garden,

Suddenly she saw a women who was running towards her. Suddenly to other knights and suppressed her.

" No leave me I need to meet queen it's importat. Please, it's important." She register but two knights were still suppressing her.

" Leave her." Gloria gave orders to the knights and they both retreated.

" Who are you? " Gloria asked, " Looking at you you like knights from Garia territory."

The women got up and kneeled infront of her, " Your majesty, I am vice leader of red rose knights of Garia, I came here to ask for your help. There is a large problem in Garia." She added " Some days We got news of young children less than age of 16 getting lost. So we started a search for them. We got information about a cave where they were transported but when we reached there our team was ambushed. We also found our Lord there with them, he was working with demons. He transported these children from Garia to demons to perform some ritual. We tried to rescue those people but some strong demons were protecting that place. My sister( leader) fought with them but there also was a demon who was to strong he alone erased our half army. Sister asked me to give this letter to you. She told me only you can save them at this time."

Gloria was shocked hearing this thousands of questions in her mind at once but chose to stay calm. The female knights gave the letter given by her sister to her.

When Gloria opened the letter tears rolled through her eyes. The letter was of her best friend Agatha. She was her very first friend later they both got separated when the world changed. It has been long since Gloria met her friend. But, now when she come know about her she got this kind of news. Suddenly, a band fell from the envelope. Gloria picked it up, it was a friendship band Gloria gave to Agatha.

" Where is the cave." Gloria said.

After about half an hour Gloria was standing in front of the cave, whose address she got from the Gloria's sister. She made sure to leave Agatha's sister in Palace so she can stay away from harm. Gloria was still angry that her friend was in Kingdom but never came to meet her but, now she was more worried about her friend's safety.

She summoned her armour. A silver armour appeared on her body. Then she summoned a white spear then she entered the cave.

When she was inside she can smell blood from inside the cave she increased her pace and ventured deep into the cave. After some time she reached in an open hall where she saw a large number of demons gathering.

She was on an upper part of the hall and the ground was about 70 m bellow her position.

There were some knights tied on a rope which were being tortured and some of them were getting eaten by them. Then scene made Gloria blood boil. She took her Spear and threw it towards the middle of the hall. A huge boom occured in middle and a large crater. Every demons looked toward the direction from which the spear came. They saw a woman near one of the above entrance. All of them dashed towards her. Queen charged her aura and she summoned lightning. Her body was surrounded by lightning Aura and she jumped from her spot on the enemies.

She punched one demon and created a crater below him. All the demons were blown away because of the shockwave. Then she summoned back her spear. Spear came piercing through the demon bodies and she grabbed it. Now she charged her power more started killing the demons with her spear. After some moment not a single demons was alive.

Gloria went to people who were being tortured they were barely alive.

She used a high level healing spell to heal who ever were left alive.

She got to know that they were part of rose knight, they also told her that some high level member were taken further inside.

All members were broken after seeing there friends getting eaten in front of them.

Gloria summoned some familiars, and ordered them to take them out of the cave.

After they left Gloria went to more inside of cave.

After some time she was infront of a large door, which was protected by 10 shadow commanders.

When she tried to enter, one of those knight spoke, "Si homo curat animam suam, ibi subsiste."

Gloria hearing this smile and said, "huh, similis nescis qui me aliter prohibere non ausim."

Then Victoria summoned an insignia and raised towards them. Looking at insignia all of them bowed against her and said,

" O, Great Queen please forgive is we were not able to recognize you. But, as you know we shadow commanders are contract bound so we can't let you go in."

Gloria listened to them and said, " I know about the contract of your realm and I respect it, but still need to save people in there so I need to go in."

"Great Queen if you can break the contract of Seven blood with your authority we can help you to save your friend." One of the shadow Commander suggested.

Queen hearing this replied, " I would have done it if I could but, unfortunately the incantation to break your contract is only to my husband."

" Then, there is nothing that can be done, you need to go through us great queen."

All of the shadow commanders got up and took there weapons in hand.

" I respect your valour so I will give a fight worthy for your honor. "

Queen stomped her Spear in ground.

And took a stance she charged up her aura.

Then leapt in air to attack them. She appeared in front of a shadow knight and punched him into the ground.

She started dodging the attack of those knights. Then she jumped in air and created a large orb of blue energy.

She smashed that orb in on them. One of the Knight stopped the orb with his hammer but was thrown away.

" Now let's take this to another level."

Gloria closed her eyes and opened them, her eyes turned blue, then she disapeared from her spot and reappeared behind them. Suddenly a huge shock wave threw them in the walls near by. All the knights became unconscious.

" Well they were tough, a little."

Gloria raised her hand and spear flew towards her. She grabbed it and went near, the door she put her hand on the door and gave a little push. Whole door got blown away with it.

Gloria went inside the door.

Gloria while walking in cave heard a sound.

She saw multiple cells on her way which have captives in them.

Gloria made herself invisible. After sometime she saw a man infront of one of the cells.

"Hhn, you should have listened to me and stayed away from this case." Man said.

"You traitor, how could you sell children of your own Kingdom. Not only you betrayed Garia, you even betrayed kings trust in you." Agatha who was hung with chains inside the cell said with a weak voice.

" That arrogant bastard, he dared to look down on me. He is know King he is just a bastard who got powers to show. Even put my son in cell just for a little rape. Don't he know that my son is a nobel. But, it doesn't matter he and his kingdom will soon be doomed when true Lord arrives. And you sword of Garia will be my price."

As he was blabbering about, his plan a Spear came sand pierced throw his one ear and got out from her other one.

" Shit, I was aiming for his neck." A voice came from emptiness.

Suddenly a lady in silver armours appeared in front of Agatha.

" Gloria" she said.

Gloria broke the cell and freed her friend.

She used a healing spell to heal Agatha.

" Gloria, we need to stop them." Agatha said in frail voice.

" Shut up, first let me heal." Gloria said.

" No, I am fine we need to stop them from completing the sacrifice or else everything will be lost." Agatha said.

"What kind of sacrifice, first heal yourself and then tell." Gloria replied.

Agatha looked at her, she realised that she saw her friend after a long time. She closed her eyes and let her heal the wounds.

After healing, Agatha said, " I don't know what kind of sacrifice they are doing, but that bastard Lord said they were planning to revive the true Lord or something."

Gloria heard it and summoned a familiar to take Agatha out but, Agatha refused to go leaving her friend behind. She knew that her friend was strong or strongest.

Both of them went to find, the place of sacrifice. Gloria summoned a golden armour and gave it to Agatha. She also gave a sword when Agatha said she used sword.

' Oof, these sword people.' Gloria shook her head remembering his husband uses a sword to.
