Breaking Point

Sky came down and landed on Ray's shoulder.

Marika looked happy to see the eagle again. And Sky looked at Marika like she was familiar in the aura of the little girl he met, so he flew on top of her head and set down.

After a few minutes Marika stated to flap her wings, Sky noticed and landed on the ground and did the same in-front of her.

"Ohh taking flight lessons from an Eagle?"

"Is that alright? I mean…"

"Its fine she is a quick learner."

Richard walked over to Marika and asked her if she was ready to fly. Marika looked up to the sky again. Richard whispered something to her and she did what he had told her.

She then took off to the sky, Sky fallowed her and they were playing in the air.

Richard then said "You can expect some trouble in your Kingdom in the near future."

"What do you mean?" Ray asked him.

"Well Dante got an adoptive elder sister now, and she figured out about his past even before she got most of the details concerning his past. And since she is already butted her head with member of the Sanguis family members, she is bound to cause them trouble and even worse kill them all as revenge for him."

"Ohh…I don't mind if she wipes them all out. Then I won't have an headache anymore to deal with and my uncle can come back."

"So you can tell her she can do as she pleases but she has to promise me that she will leave the innocent alone and notify me when she is ready to strike."

"I'll tell her when I get back to my mansion. She is currently traveling since I left for the meeting in two days."

"Do you know by chance when the Queen of Virtus et Caeruleus Viridi available for a meeting?"

"I don't know that even though I live in her Kingdom we only communicate by communication spell or a message spell."

"She doesn't like politic much so every problem of another country's clan she will face them without going to the ruler of that kingdom. She is an eye for an eye person, if you don't attack her she won't attack you."

"So there is no need to worry much about your Kingdom and the rest of you people."

"Even though she has an Alliance with Ignis, she redder do it alone then let us advise or help her. From what I have seen up until now she is smart, cunning and has impressive fighting ability's."

"But I will pass the message to her, or you can tell her yourself." Richard smiled.

Ray smiled back "Alright."

After half an hour flying around it was time to learn how to land. Sky showed it to Marika and she fallowed. Although it looked a bit clumsy she manage to land safely.

"Did you enjoy your first flight?"

Marika looked at Richard and nuzzled him.

"Was it fun up there with her?" Ray asked Sky.

Sky screeched and open his wings.

Ray then bowed to Marika "I'm sorry that an subject of my Kingdom had cause you trouble, being disrespectful towards you and ignored your warning. If he in the future cause you any problems you have my approval to tear him apart."

Marika then came close to Ray and tilted her head. Saying it was alright to touch her head.

Ray looked at Richard for approval. But Richard shrugged his shoulders, "Since you approved that she can tear apart Raphael next time and you showed her your sincerity about it, she shows her respect towards you so if you want to touch her head."

Ray stroke her head, "Let's be friends from this day!?"

Marika looked at Richard, and Richard nodded "Having a lot of friends isn't a bad thing."

Marika then mimicked the best way she could the hug Sky had gave her before.

Ray looked surprised but smiled, "Let's meet again, future wife of The Moon King." As he waved and walked away with a bound Raphael.

Marika wanted to chance back but everybody of the temple came out side to see her and surrounded her. They all cheered for her, they were happy she had succeed her awakening.

Marika picked up the guard and put him on her back. The guard was started for a moment but when he set on her back he knew it was alright. Marika took off to the sky.

"What is she doing?" one of the soldiers asked.

Richard then answered "She is taking him up for a flight as a thanks for guarding her and fend off the intruders."

After a few minutes Marika came back down again and changed back to her normal self again.

'I wish I had the energy to take you all up there but, it has been an intense day.'

Al the other soldiers then saluted her, "Princess it was our honor to help you and we are grateful for you trusting your safety with us.

Marika smiled 'If you guys ever in need of anything let me know, as this shall be my reward for all of your hard work.'

She then walked inside the room and saw Khai, Regina and Nova were resting.

"What are you going to do with Nova." Richard asked her.

'That depends on Nova's choice.'

'I originally was planning on letting him stay with Khai and Regina. But if he plans to stay here that's also fine.'

"What will you do if he wants to stay with you?"

'I won't refuse.'

Richard smiled at Marika "Well I don't mind adopting another child."

Marika smiled and nodded 'Me neither.'

[Two days later]

It was the day of the meeting of the 3 Kings.

Marika only told Cinis the she would attend so to surprise everybody. She was known as a Queen who didn't like politics so she would only observe the meeting.

But still she read up all there was on the meeting's for the last 5 years. She found out that the records were almost non existing. She wondered what the purpose was in the end if there were no notes of the meeting and the agreements they agreed on were made.

The 3 man had already gathered in the meeting room and were about to start when there was a knock on the door.

Cinis announced Marika had arrived but he announced her with her new name. She decided that all her friends and family could still call her by her old name when she was not acting as the Queen of Virtus et Caeruleus Viridi.

"Her Majesty Yumaria of Virtus et Caeruleus Viridi has arrived and will be joining you as an observer of the meeting."

The 3 man stood up in surprised when they saw Marika walking in the room. She was dressed elegantly and her horns were visible. Her facial expression was calm and cool.

She bowed to them 'I wanted to thank you for inviting me to observes this meeting of the 3 Kings. It is a great honor to meet you.'

Cinis showed her to her seat and she set down. She placed a some paper and a pen on the table.

'I hope your gentlemen don't mind me taking some notes? It's purely for learning purposes.' She said with a light smile."That quit alright Your Highness, since your country was only formed recently, we hope that we can aid you in knowledge and shed some light on the three Kingdoms." King Cillus spoke to her.

Marika nodded to him.

"Now let us start the meeting." King Cillus said.

The 3 man started to discus, economics and trade related matters.

Marika was diligently writing everything down.

And next to making notes of the meeting she also came up with multiple ideas to enhance the logistics and trading routes.

After 3 hours the men decided to take a break.

Marika who was still writing and didn't noticed the men were about to take a break.

"She sure is diligent in working." King Ray said.

"Well for what I know of her for the few times I have spoken with her. She while listen to people she is then already planning thing's up ahead." Richard said.

"She already had some advice on how to strengthen security. If she notice something that can use improvement she won't hesitate to tell that person, regardless if she is allied with them or not. She is a selfless person who wants the best for anybody and everybody around her. Regardless of status." King Cillus said.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, Cinis and Dante came in to the room.

"Your Highness I have an urgent message." Dante said to Marika.

Marika nodded.

Dante walked over and whispered something to her and her expression changed to a murders look. Richard already knew that it wasn't something good and somebody was about to die.

'WHAT!! I'm going to murder them all. You and Kevin return first and assist the people and take Solis, Caelum and our brother with you. Call William and tell him he has 5 minutes to get Arthur here.'

Dante nodded and left the room in a hurry.

Cinis then also whispers something to her and she smirked. Cinis told her the Duke of the Blood Kingdom wanted to talk with her and was waiting for her response so he could talk to her via a messaging spell. She knew that the Duke found out she was at the meeting, and by ordering the soldiers of the king. Marika would think that the Blood King had send them and interrupt it as a declaration of war.

But Marika wasn't that stupid and there was no reason for the Blood King to invade her, he is a king who like to stay neutral and doesn't want to form any alliances or declare a war, if the possibility of negotiation is on the table he would redder have a partnership in the traded.

Marika the looked at the Blood King. 'Your Majesty The Blood King? Have you ordered any of your soldiers to invade my country?' Marika asked him and she had a sharp look in her eyes.

Ray shook his head "Why should I invade your lands that is full of resources and I redder negotiate than to blindly go to war, there is no benefit for me to do so. And I'm well aware of your alliance with Ignis Kingdom and you're on friendly basis with the Moon King. It would be suicide of me to go to war with you."

Marika who still had a sharp look in her eyes nodded.

She then turned to Cinis and told him to leave the Duke hanging for a while and she would be available in roughly 30 minutes.

Cinis nodded

'Oh and Cinis could you bring over your brother when you bring Arthur over and then she whispered something to Cinis.

"Of course Your Majesty." Cinis left the room to fetch his brother and Arthur.

The 3 men in the room were silent, Marika's murderess aura was intense.

Then she started to speak 'Your Majesty Cillus, I hope you don't mind me asking your son Cinis and Canus to help my guards against the current invasion I'm facing now.'

Cillus looked at Marika "I don't mind. But why?"

'Well after this the call with the Duke of the Blood Kingdom I'm returning to my Kingdom and I need Cinis for battle tactics and your son Canus seemed bored lately so… plus I promised him to take him with me if I were to go to battle.' Marika smiled.

'Oh and if your curious I invite you all to come and watch the show if you're interested.'

Cinis had explained that Marika had successfully awakened her 8th stage and that according to the Green Dragon Clan tradition she would receive a new name, and that her new name was Yumaria but she would only use that name when she was appearing as the Queen of Virtus et Caeruleus Viridi.

Arthur understood and would call her by that name. But he couldn't understand why she called for him. They had a very bad start and she would hold grudges so why would she call for him if she had a grudge against him.

After 5 minutes had passed Canus and Arthur had arrived at the room with Cinis.

'Arthur? I want you to listen very carefully and after that I have a question for you and I want you to answer me truthfully.'

"Yes Your Highness" Arthur was slightly nervous.

'Canus you are my brother on the battlefield, and I know your itching for a bloodbath I'll take you with me today so you can let out that pant up blood-lust of yours.'

"Really sister were going to a battle?"

Canus eyes light up, and Marika nodded.

'Cinis I need you to come too because while I'm good at defensive tactic's I'm not good at assessing the situation and plan a good attack plan, because in that regard I'm just like your brother, rush in and start killing.'

'From the information I have at the moment is that apparently soldiers of the Blood Kingdom are invading my lands. I already asked the Blood King but he has not ordered any of his soldiers to invade my kingdom.'

'And this attack look's very familiar to me.'

"Like when soldiers of the Moon Kingdom and Ignis Kingdom attack the village back then." Canus said.

Marika nodded.

'Now that I already confirmed with the Blood King he didn't send out an order, and I find it very suspicious that the Duke want to talk to me while my kingdom is under attack.'

'So after my conversation with the Duke we will head to my Kingdom and kill all those vampires who are trespassing and hurt my people who are innocent and are still recovering from the last battle.'

The Blood King then asked Marika "But what is the purpose of this meaningless war declaration?"

'Well it's indeed meaningless, but if I'm correct, the Duke want a war and hopes I will take you down so he or Raphael would become the next King.'

'Your neutral approach and not abiding to their words and is a thorn in their greed.'

'Don't forget the Grand Duke is already gone and the only successor to the throne after you would be Dante, but because Dante was kidnapped as a baby and put into staces or sealed away for some years and hadn't aged or grown, he wouldn't know he would be the rightful heir to the throne.'

'But to be honest, the only way to stop this is to take down and kill the Duke and his eldest son Raphael.'

"What about his youngest Arthur?" The Blood King asked.

'Well that depends, if he would fallow his father and brothers footsteps.'

'In my opinion Arthur isn't like his father and brother. The things he did was ordered by them but nobody ever bothered to ask him how he feels about it nor lend him a hand to rebel against them.'

Arthur look shocked, "Your Highness how… "

'How do I know?'

Arthur nodded.

'Very easy, the two times I picked a fight with you I could tell you weren't even trying to defend yourself, and when you counter attacked me I noticed there was nothing to support your attacks, no killing intend, no blood-lust.'

'Not to mention my kidnapping that your subordinate had done, you were utterly horrified when you saw it was me.'

'And above all else, If you were someone who hate me so much, why would you be concerned about my life, you went to the Blood Moon mountain for an herb that I need?'

Marika then walked over to Arthur and said 'Now I have two questions for you. Are you willing to spy and gather information concerning Dante's past and what your father is up too regarding his plan on trying to assassinate King Caedis?'

"Alright, that's not a problem I just have act like I always did."

The 3 King's looked shocked.

"Assassination attempt?" Ray asked her.

'Oh come one what's the most convenient way to assassinate a King? Create a war and get him killed on the battlefield.'

"But what if you get killed instead of me?"

'Well than my kingdom is done for and my land will be back to the way it was before. So it wouldn't be a total loss.'

'Then my last question for you is, will you hold a grudge or take revenge on me if I were to kill your father and brother?'

Arthur thought about it. He knew she would not attack or kill meaninglessly. But because Dante was now under her wing and she had beaten him up 2 times, Raphael found her a treat. But he never told him his intention for why he wanted to teach her a lesson and why he suddenly felt the need to attack her Kingdom. But one thing was for sure, his father and brother took it to far.

"Your Majesty, alone I'm weak and I honestly don't condone their action. I know Your Majesty beat me up to teach me and I'm thankful to Your Majesty for opening my eyes."

"If the time comes that you have to take the life of my father and brother so shall it be. I will not plead for them nor beg you to spare them."

"Traitors and criminals should be punished even if death is there punishment."

"And I shall not hold a grudge nor will I seek vengeance against Queen Yumaria for this act."

Marika walked up to Arthur and stretched out her hand and smiled.

'You have grown a lot the last 3 months since we met and had our brawls. I'm proud of you, and thank you for saving me from your brother that day.' She than gave Arthur a hug.

Arthur was completely frozen up.

'So we are friends now and if you ever need my help just let me know.'

She then whispered something to Arthur and then let go.

'Now go back to the mansion before your brother starts to get suspicious, and don't worry about Dante I'll explain it to him later.'

"Yes Your Majesty."

Cinis told Marika half an hour had past and that she should prepare for the incoming call from the Duke.

'Everybody be quiet let's see what this trash has to say and offer.'

Marika set down look over the plans she had toughed up and gave them to Cinis and also told him to give each of the kings the notes she took during the meeting.

And some ideas that could be help full when they held the meeting of the 3 Kings.

They were looking through the notes and ideas she had thought up. They were quiet surprised of the outlines of logistic and transport idea.

They all looked at her with great admiration.

While she was waiting for the call she was again writing something.

Then finally the call came took the call without even looking, 'Skip the crap and get right to the point, I'm a bit busy.' She said in a cold voice and then looked up to the person on the other end.

The 4 men in the room had to really try very hard not to laugh.

"The reason I'm calling is I got word that the King had send soldiers too your lands. I want to apologize for his rude behavior."

'Is that so? Your word means nothing to me. I gain nothing from your apology now would I?'

'Unless you can tell me the reason for your King to attack me I have no need to communicate with a low rank Duke.'

"Your Majesty the reason the king send his soldiers is because you hold a lot of resources…."

'Listen here Duke Reinel Sanguis … It seems you are pretty much out of the loop. So I will help you to understand a few thing.'

'A king who stayed neutral for over 25 years would not suddenly attack me for resources.'

"Your Majesty with all due respect, since your country has just established I think you're not aware of the history of the Blood Kingdom or the other two kingdom's for that matter.

'Do you think I'm stupid and naive?'

"No Your Majesty?"

'I'm well aware of the history of the 3 kingdom's, I only had the spend 2 days of reading and was caught up to it all.

"Then is Your Majesty also aware how the current King got the throne?"

'Yes, I am well aware how His Majesty Caedis got the throne, so what of it?'

Ray looked at Richard but he shook his head, Richard knew what he wanted to ask but he knew that Marika was only starting.

'Now listen here Duke Sanguis, calling me and apologize won't do any good since it's your king that has to do that. Unless you have something that you can offer me… But since I already have met your youngest son I don't expect much from you anyway and I find your explanation of your kings action strange.'

'No matter how I look at it, your king attack on me is out of ordinary, we never met, so how is it possible for two rulers have a disagreement or miscommunication?'

"But didn't Your Majesty go to the meeting of the 3 kings?"

'No! If you are well informed you should know I hate politics, so why should I attend something like the meeting of the 3 kings?'

'So Duke Sanguis…. What is it that you really want from me?'

"I want you to stop our king and is erratic behavior toward Your Highness."

'Hmm erratic behavior you say. Explain to me what you define as erratic behavior?'

"Ever since our King has heard about you he want to meet you Your Highness. But Your Highness never seem to have the time or interest in meeting him. So he is blinded by obsession and thus wanted to attack your Kingdom so he could take you by force."

'I see so the real reason for this attack is not for resources but he want me?'

"Yes Your Highness."

Cillus and Richard looked at Ray with suspicious eyes teasing him. Ray felt awkward and flustered and he shook his head that he was innocent and never had any thought of that kind.

'Alright… I'll stop him, but let me tell you one thing. In strength I'm pretty much on pare with the Moon King, so you better pray I'm able to hold back and not kill your king.'

"If you kill him it wouldn't be a problem, I redder see his dead body back than his living body."

'Sure… but who is going to be the new King of your country? I mean a Kingdom can't be ruled without a king.'

'Are you going to sit on that throne?'

"Your Majesty don't need to worry about that…"

'Of course I need to worry about that. If I want something from you guys in the future or negotiate, you think a complete dumb-ass like your youngest can do that?'

"I'm too old for the throne so I will let my eldest rule the Kingdom."

'Hmm …. I hope for you that your information is correct or it's you and your entire family who will pay the price… And I also hope your eldest is more cable than your youngest.'

'Now if you'll excuse me I need to kill some people who are invading my lands.'

"I won't keep you any longer Your Majesty. Let's meet when things have stabilized."

Marika ended the call and she turned completely white and her stomach turned.

She hates people like Duke Sanguis, they were disgusting and rotten to the core.

Richard walked over, "Your Majesty are you alright? You look terrible."

Cinis brought over a glass of water, 'Thank you.'

She took a big sip and calmed down.

'Now was I right? About your assassination on the battlefield?'

Ray wanted to ask her but Marika beat him 'If you wanted know how I know I can tell you that later, but fist I need to go to my kingdom and clean out the trash first. I'm sorry if they are indeed your soldiers but if they fallow orders of someone who is not their king then they are not loyal and you are better off if their dead. How cruel that may sound, but it's treason they committed.'

'So anybody wanna watch a show?'

All 3 the king's nodded.

'Canus came in to the room, sister I have your sword. And you haven't eaten yet so I brought you something.'

Marika nodded and while she quickly eat she looked around. Cinis knew exactly what she was looking for.

"Your Majesty… that window." He sighed and pointed to the small balcony.

'You're the best!'

She then took a small pill she got from her brother and took it.

She jumped from the window and transformed in to a dragon.

Before Canus and Cinis did the same Canus gave Ray all the weapons.

Richard and Cillus also transformed.

Marika grabbed Ray from the balcony and put him on her back and she then took off to the sky.

When the 5 of them flew over the Kingdom Marika could hear cheers from the people on the ground.

She roared as she flew by.

The people of the Kingdom were cheering because it was an omen of luck when they saw 5 dragons fly in the sky.

After half an hour they reached the village, Marika looked down and saw the state the Village was in and it looked like the it was the first invasion all over again. She saw the Dire Wolfs evacuating and protecting the villagers. She also spotted another familiar wolf. It was her adoptive daughter Luna and her pack.

Marika roared loud and so did the others. Everybody looked up in to the sky where 5 dragons had appeared.

The villagers knew it was Marika with help. "Look it Her Majesty and brought help."

Ray who was sitting on Marika's back was shocked. He couldn't believe what his soldiers were doing to innocent life's.

He patted Marika, Marika looked at him as he was pointing to someone.

Marika fallowed the direction he was pointing at.

'Put me down over there! If we can capture the captain alive we can figure out who ordered him.'

Marika looked at Richard and the rest and they nodded.

Canus flew up to his brother and transformed back, he landed on his brothers back and told him to fly over to Marika so he could take the swords from Ray.

As they did Marika spotted something that would make her rage go out of control.

Just when Canus caught the last sword Marika sudden behavior made Ray loos his balance and drop to the ground. Richard caught him and looked down towards where Marika was heading. One of the soldier had struck down Luna.

Richard signaled to Cillus to fallow him.

Canus and Cinis didn't need any words they fallowed Marika as soon as she flew down with high speed.

Marika landed and trampled a few soldiers. Marika roared at the standing soldiers while protecting Luna.

The soldiers were shocked and scared, there was a dragon in-front of them with an immense killer intend.

Cinis landed and also transformed back.

Marika roared one more time, "You heard your sister kill them all."

Canus eyes changed a smile appeared on his face and an immense blood-lust was coming from him.

Canus started to mow them down without even betting an eye.

Marika also transformed back and started to heal Luna. Luckily her wounds weren't severe.

Luna looked up and saw Marika, 'Mommy!!!'

'My sweet daughter, your fine now your all healed up now.'

Marika hugged her. 'You have grown so much, you're so pretty now, but what are you doing here?'

'Noir told me what was going on and the Dire Wolf Clan couldn't handle it alone so The Moon Wolf clan and the Night Wolf clan came to help out.'

Marika smiled at Luna 'Let's talk later… I need you and the other clan's to evacuate everybody dead or alive, leave no villager behind.

Luna understood and she howled, then there the sound of roughly over 150 wolfs howling throughout the village.

Marika hugged Luna one more time 'Stay safe, promise me.'

Luna nodded ones again and took a fallen villager nearby.

Marika then stood up, and turned around. Canus threw her swords.

'Ohh so you couldn't wait for me, and you started without me?'

"Ahh sorry sis"

Marika eyes and facial expression changed she looked the same like Canus, an ultimate predator ready to kill it's pray.

'Why are you saying sorry bro? I know your stressed out because you didn't have a battle for a long time… so I expected you couldn't contain yourself.' Marika smiled.

Canus smiled back at her "I knew my sister would understand me the best."

Cinis sighed and smiled "Well have fun you two, I'll keep an eye out from the sky and help out the evacuation."

'Now brother shall we start and eradicate these insects?'

Canus nodded. "Shall we make this more fun sister?"

"Let see who kill's the most soldiers if you win I'll do whatever you want."

'Sure, and what if you win?"

"You have to train and spare with me a whole day."

'It's a deal.'

Marika and Canus charged in to a squad of soldiers who were running up to them.

Marika didn't bet an eye and cut them down merciless one by one the soldiers fell down. In just a matter of minutes she had already cut down 15 people . And Canus was at the same amount in the same amount of time.

Both of them were in sync and had each other's back. There was no hesitation and they knew what the other was thinking. Like the had fought many battles together.

Richard, Ray and Cillus arrived at the main camp where the captain and a few soldiers were.

Richard and Ray took them down and the captured the captain.

Richard spotted a few binoculars and the three of them were watching Marika and Canus.

"Richard she said she was on pare with you right." Ray asked

Richard nodded.

Marika then spotted a squad to her left and right. 'Brother, can you handle a squad on your own?'

"What I'm not a monster like you and The Moon King, I can handle at least half a squad on my own."

Marika smiled 'Well how about this if you take down the squad on the left I will train and spare with you even if you lose to me on the take down bet.'

Canus started to smile, "Alright sister"

'O but if it's too much just draw them toward me and I'll help you out.'

Marika and Canus spitted up

Ray fallowed Marika and saw how she effortless took down a full squad in mere minutes.

"She is a one man army." Ray was completely amazed by Marika.

"Who taught her, her sword style?"

"She is self-taught, in other words her sword style is unique and the only other person who wield the same style as her is Dante. Because she is teaching him." Richard answered.

After Marika took down the squad, she walked over to Canus and sit down and watch how he showed slight difficulty's taking down a full squad.

After 10 minutes he had took care of them all.

'So you are capable to take down a squad of soldiers.'

Canus flinched at Marika's words.

"How long have you been sitting there?" Canus asked her.

'About 10 minutes.' She smiled.

She then signal for Canus to sit down next to her.

'Let's have a little breather and I'll teach you something that can help you for when you have to face a squad of people again next time. '

Canus set down "But…" 'Duck!'

Canus ducked instinctively and she swung her sword because a soldier charged at Canus from the back.

The soldier managed to block her strike but was pushed back ward a few step because the sheer force behind her strike was great enough to but the soldier out of balance.

Marika stood up and looked annoyed at the soldier.

'Can't you see I'm teach somebody?'

The soldier looked at her confused and lowed his guard, Marika then slight his throat and the soldier felt down to the ground.

She than set back down next to Canus.

Canus laughed "Ahaha sister your just to good, the look on the face of that soldier when you told him with a straight face you were teaching."

'Hey all is fair in love and war. He shouldn't take his guard down so easily'

'But that's beside point.'

'While I was watching you I noticed you utilize your senses very well, but at the same time you slightly hesitate in your own ability.'

'To be honest here if you could get rid of your doubt and be more confident you should be able to be on pare with me and Richard in no time.'

Canus looked shocked at Marika.

"Are you serious?"

Marika nodded.

'Now what I'm going to teach something you'll not be able to utilize straight away and it requires a lot of training.'

Marika took Canus hand and placed it on the rock they were sitting on.

'Now close your eyes and empty your head. Bread slow and put you focus on your hand that's on the rock right now.'

Canus fallowed Marika's instructions. He could feel the vibration that came from the ground.

Marika told him to do the same thing but now while standing up.

Marika smiled and the swung her blade at him.

Even though Canus had his eyes closed he could feel the vibration that Marika gave of and the sound of a swinging blade.

Canus block her incoming attack with ease.

"Do you want to kill me!?"

Marika laughed a little 'Compared to our sparring match last time did the blow feel any different?' She asked him.

"It felt like you were holding back so…"

'And what if I told you I wasn't holding back just now?'

"You weren't?"

Marika nodded. 'Well since your breathing was calm and steady and your mind was also relaxed you heighten your senses and attack blows don't feel heavy because if you muscles are relaxed so…'

'So what you need to train first is your breathing and if you control that than I'll teach you how to learn to read movement vibration.'

"So the reason you and Richard are able to stand so long is because of the way you breath?"

Marika nodded.

'Now before we head out, don't doubt your own ability and calm yourself and your breathing. That way we won't get exhausted and can easily take down a complete army or at least 150 man.'

"Your exaggerating sister."

'No I'm not… If it were me and Richard we could take down a castle just the 2 of us.'

Marika looked dead serious.

"You two are just monsters."

'Well to fight a monster you must become a monster.'

Canus and Marika laughed a little.

Marika looked up at the sky and called for Cinis to come down.

Cinis came down "There are 2 more squads up ahead, everybody got out of the village, there are a lot of injured people but there are no death."

Marika sighed a sigh in relieve.

'Cinis you go to the evacuees and protect them, me and your brother will finish cleaning up.'

Cinis left and Canus and Marika were getting ready to head out to take down the last two squads.

'Brother did you bring your special pills?'

Canus nodded.

'Good take one right now because I smell poison in the air.'

"What about you sister?"

'Well this much isn't a problem for me.' Marika also pulled on from her pocked and took it.

'But you know my husband he will nag the crap out of me, for being reckless and my brother already want's to lock me up for two accounts of recklessness. So to prevent that from happening I made a few for myself.'

She then whispered 'Between you and me, whenever I'm make med's I also make poison to and take it to get immunity. But don't tell them or else they'll sit with me while I make med's. So this is our little secret.'

Canus laughed "Well if that ever happens just come and visit us."

"Let's go sis, we still have some extermination to do" And Canus face and eyes light up.

Marika patted Canus on the shoulder and nodded 'Yeh let's kill the pests that are still crawling around.'

Ray asked Richard "What did they swallow just now?"

"She probably noticed something in the air and took an antidote the can cure any to all poison."

"What? Such a medicine exist?"

"Well it only exist in this world because she came to this world."

Richard showed on of his pills.

"If somebody would steel this from me and take it, only a grave will be waiting for them."

"It's also odorless and even a lick is enough to poison you. She designed it that way so no doctor in this world could even break it down to recreate it."

"A double edge sword so to speak."

Richard nodded.

"But you said that medicine exist because she came to this world. Where did she come from then?"

"That's not for me to tell you."

"I see, well sometimes thing a better left shrouded in mystery. That way things ar more fun and exited."

Richard looked at Ray from the corner of his eye and noticed his interest in Marika was slowly turning in to an obsession.

King Cillus came over to Ray and Richard and told them the captain refuse to talk. Richard sighed and walked over to the captain and dragged him to the edge of the cliff.

He threw him to the ground. He told Ray to give him the binoculars.

"Now look down" Richard said in a cold voice. "You see all those dead body's?, they are your soldiers."

"Impossible!" The captain was in shock.

The Richard looked for Marika and Canus. When he spotted them, both were ready to start attacking the two left over squads.

Richard then directed the captain to look at Marika and Canus.

Richard watched with the captain how the two of them slaughter 25 of his soldiers in less than 10 minutes.
