Sera: "how'd you do it"

Phoebe looks at Sera with a confused look"

Phoebe: "do what"

Sera: "give him his smile back ever since we found him when he was a young boy he has been wearing a fake smile since then although it was getting warmer because of his best friend Theo"

Tristan: "gotta sharpen my daggers how come your awake"

Kenzuki: "I was meditating so i can control my magic better"

Tristan: "hahaha i forgot you can't control it"

Kenzuki looks at Tristan with a playful angry face rubbing his head as Tristan laughs.

Kenzuki: "shut up hahaha"

Tristan sits there with a smile looking at the fire.

Tristan: "i missed having my emotions in tacked I'm glad i do"

Tristan: "it's fine trust me with my raising popularity as a bandit i bet ya she knows I'm alive and she's somewhere looking for me but that's enough of that lets get some sleep"

They all sit down and listen to Lilith.

Lilith: "the reason i called you all hear today is because of the crimson eyed bandit Tristan heartwood"

There eyes widen as they look at Lia her eyes wide her face showing a face of disbelief.

Multa looks at Lilith with a straight face

Multa: "why would i wanna chat with a bandit"

Multa: "really now alright i will go on this mission to retrieve Tristan and anyone under 16 years of age just so i can revenge my sister"

Lilith: "this meeting is over Lia choose who will come with you"

Lilith gets up and walks back to her throne as the other four leave once they where out of the throne room. They all looked at Lia waiting for her to choose who she wants to take on this mission Lia thinks to herself and picks Multa and Rhaegal. The three then set out on the mission.

back to Tristan and his team.

its morning now Tristan is sitting by the fire with Phoebe while the others get up and get ready to enter the village. Tristan gets up and walks over to the cliff side looking down on the village then turns to the others as they all walk up.

Tristan: "you guys ready"

Mouchi: "so your the bastards that entered this village huh hahaha let me at em"

Mouchi starts to walk forward as Nedji puts out his arm.

Nedji: "these guys are powerful be carful Mouchi"

Mouchi looks at him with a serious look then looks at Kenzuki Tristan notices and looks up at Kenzuki to see him smirking itching for a fight.

Tristan: "Kenzuki take care of Mouchi Lila Sera Phoebe take care of the other one be carful she has the same presence as a demon"

they all move to there opponents moving away from Tristan and Nedji.

Nedji: "there's something about you a hidden power yes i see it the power of a demo... no it's more ang... no what is it its dark but also a bit of light hmm"

Tristan stares at Nedji with a confused look but shakes it of and draws his daggers getting ready to battle. Tristan was about to leap forward as in a blink of an eye Nedji appears right in front of him palming Tristan in the chest blowing him away through buildings causing Tristan to cough out blood.

Tristan: "w...wha....what the hell"

 Before Tristan can have a breath Nedji appears in front of him palming the air Infront of Tristan sending waves of power crushing him Tristan looses conciseness.

Tristan: "what where"

???: "what the hell are you doing get up i chose you get the hell up show me what you got"

a dark aura then covers Tristan as he regains conciseness and Nedji backs of his eyes widening but not with fear no with curiosity.

Nedji: "there it is there's that power of yours's say have you ever thought bout spirit arts let me teach you real quick in this fight"

Tristan stares at Nedji with a confused look then agrees.

Tristan: "if it will make me stronger then i will take some time to learn"

Nedji: "spirit arts isn't about strength you gotta focus clear your mind focus on me if you do you'll start to see an aura flowing that's magic sensing although people can hide there magic if you look deeper you'll see there spirit once you got that down you'll always find anyone even with the greatest stealth spell or relic no one can hide there spirit. 

Tristan focuses after a while he see's Nedji's aura he then focused even more the more he stood there he managed to see his spirit flowing through his body he then focused and could see everyone's spirit including Nedji's.

Tristan: "this is amazing wow"

Nedji: "hmpf now fight me while being able to see my spirit"

Tristan then got into his battle stance Nedji then attempted to dash forward again to palm Tristan's body again but Tristan saw Nedji's spirit grow and reacted faster then Nedji. Tristan then thought to himself if Nedji uses his spirit to fight Tristan then moved and bent his spirit into his daggers Nedji noticed as Tristan swung his dagger. Nedji barely manage to dodge as Tristan's swing cut Buildings perfectly in two.

Nedji: "few scary man if that hit me i would of been dead hahaha"

Tristan looks at his dagger and at the building surprised.

Tristan: "so this is spirit arts huh"

Nedji: "precisely and if you combine it with your magic you'll be able to unleash kyogi an ancient technique"

The two then go silent as they look to the distance sensing powerful spirits coming from the north they call everyone back they all appear Tristan and Nedji then say there friends now. Much to everyone's confusion they both point to the distance.

Nedji & Tristan: "royal soldiers 3 of them are coming this way we gotta be ready"

Nedji and Tristan then train everyone to be able to sense and use spirit arts in the little time they had as Lia Rhaegal and Multa land after an hour they stand there has Tristan and Nedji move forward Lia then recognizes Tristan.

Lia: "Tristan is it really you"

Tristan looks at Lia his eyes widening.

Tristan: "Lia your spirit you really have gone and gotten powerful haha"

Lia puts a smile on her face as happy tears come out of her eyes as she hugs him.

Tristan: "no need to cry your my older sister"

Lia backs away shaking of her tears before looking at them.

Lia: "her majesty Lilith has agreed to spare you and any of you if your 16 or younger"

Tristan and Nedji look at each other then look back.

Nedji: "why should we believe you"

Lia then shows a official royal documentation showing the queen signed it herself.

Lia: "is this enough evidence for you"

Phoebe then grabs Tristan's arm and Nero does the same to Nedji.

Phoebe: "us four are the only ones in the group that fit into that category"

Nero: "yes we are"

Tristan and Nedji look confused as Rhaegal steps forward.

Rhaegal: "before we go i wanna fight the crimson eyed brat"

Lia: "that is what i promised it's not to the death if you kill him"

Lia stares Rhaegal deep in his eyes with murderous intent.

Lia: "i will kill you"

Rhaegal shrugs it of as Tristan and him look at each other Rhaegal's aura burning while Tristan remains calm. Rhaegal then dashes forward with incredible speed as he gets closer Tristan drawing his daggers using his spirit arts dashes forward Rhaegal looks seeing Tristan above him daggers in hand it was like Rhaegal was fighting a demon. Rhaegal barely dodges as Tristan swings his dagger cutting the ground and a near by building Rhaegal stands up feeling a shiver down his spine as he looks at his arm a tiny cut that was bleeding appeared. Lia looks from the sideline her eyes wide open.

Lia: "what has he gone through to get this powerful and still have a bright smile"

Phoebe: "so your his sister he talks about I'm Tristan's girlfriend and the reason he is still smiling i let him take his rage out on me just so i can see his beautiful smile"

Lia: "oh is nice to meet you when you to go to school together please look after him i know he's killed many in his life"

Sera than buds into there conversation.

Sera: "Tristan has been killing since he was 8 years old it's going to be difficult changing his life"

Multa then walks over with an angry expression.

Multa: "so your the one who killed my sister Nika ring any bells"

Sera turns to him with a straight face and stands up facing him.

Sera: "when those two are done there little fight how about me and you give it ago"

Multa: "i couldn't agree more and i can kill you since your not 16 or below"

They all look back at Tristan and Rhaegal's fight after the feel a large gust of power there all shocked besides from Nedji. Rhaegal gets ready to fire a large dragon flame blast at Tristan as he does Nedji smiles Lia turns to him.

Lia: "what are you smiling at we have to stop this"

Nedji: "wait just watch see how Tristan's calm that mother fucker is going to pull it of"

Tristan stands there and gets into a strange stance filling up his dagger with his spirit art and dark energy causing a powerful gust of wind as he speaks the words.

Tristan: "KYO"

Tristan's Daggers being covered with dark spirit arts energy.

Tristan: "GI"
