316 Going Back to Ayindril Part-1 (1/2)

Ryuu sat inside his bathroom as the shower rained on him, the cold water washed away any and all blood that was covering him washing off, he looked at the dark red water moving towards the drain as he sighed hard, yesterday he had about a 1000 strong squad but now he had lost about a 100 in a single skirmish it made him sad, he knew them, laughed with them shared happiness and sadness with them now they are all dead, he wanted to scream and cry at everything but no matter what he would do they would not be brought back to life.

The funeral had been short well more like the saying goodbyes to the casket which were sealed Ryuu knew that most if not all of them were either too disfigured to be shown to the family members or the casket were empty, some will ne incinerating some will be simply buried according to the customs of their family. The policy the army had always been to hand over the casket to the family as conducting funeral for people who were spread around an entire realm was not only impractical but a huge chore as well as such they were send back to their family with honors.

As Ryuu made his way to his office he was greeted by his superior Major Frank who simply shook his hand as he spoke, ”headquarters send a missive you are required there for debriefing.”

Ryuu had a confused expression on his face as he spoke, ”huh, why would I need debriefing when I already said everything on my report.”

Frank shrugged as he spoke, ”I do not know but a summon had been sent for you, a vessel had been send to bring you there, also if the headquarters do not object your vacation would start immediately as soon as you would have finished your work.”, he finished with a smile only to frown upon seeing the look of dread on Ryuu's face causing him to speak with a frown, ”Is something wrong Captain Ryuu?”

Ryuu let out a sigh before he spoke, ”to tell you the truth I ran away from home to join the army with my sisters help and except an occasional contact with my eldest sister I have yet to receive any contact specially with the other two who helped me join the army and from what my eldest sister hinted I might get a bit punished.”

Frank narrowed his eyes as he spoke, ”Brother you need not worry as long as you are in active duty no one will touch you it is my promise to you, now move along you have a long day ahead.”, with that he patted his back and left a slack jawed Ryuu alone.

'That unhelpful bastard as long as I am in vacation I am not considered in active duty unless my vacation ends or I receive emergency summon.', a sulking Ryuu made his way to the port where a vessel was standing to take him to the headquarters.

A couple of hours later Ryuu landed on a different port in an unknown area, the guard of the place looked as if they meant business not only that they looked a hell lot stronger than the usual people he usually dealt with as he landed he was greeted by another person who came forward as he spoke, ”I am Colonel Razeil, please follow me.”

Ryuu nodded as he walked behind me through the hallowed halls of the Head quarter as he was walking a female voice came to his ears, ”Well well who do we have here?”

Ryuu turned around and nearly suffered a heart attack upon seeing a familiar visage of a person who had once tried to kill him, he gulped hard as he spoke, ”This junior greets senior.”

The woman looked at him as if trying to strip even his soul bare as she spoke, ”How did you grow so strong so fast Ryuu?”

Ryuu gulped as he spoke, ”Senior an unfortunate accident took place which had me comatose for a long time and when I awoke I had made a major breakthrough.”

Her gaze became even more intense as she spoke, ”Really Ryuu was that only thing that happened?”

”Please leave the poor child alone, I do not think this place would survive a battle between you and Antariskh.”

The woman turned towards the speaker as she spoke with a smile, ”Ah Greetings Lady Khygnos how have you been?”

Khygnos gave her a charming smile as she spoke, ”I have been well dear but what about you Megara.”

Megara simply smiled as she spoke, ”I am fine and it is lovely to see you Antariskh.”

Antariskh snorted as she spoke, ”Yes it is really lovely to see you.”, before she turned towards the Colonel as she spoke, ”You may tend to your other duties I will escort the Captain.”, she then turned towards Ryuu as she spoke, ”Captain I hope you will not mind accompanying me.”

Megara gave a sly smile as began to walk away as she spoke, ”Yes yes child go to your owner, and hid behind her skirt instead of shaking like a leaf.”

Antariskh growled at that as the Colonel and Megara went out of her sight she turned and hugged Ryuu as she spoke, ”It had been a while brother, I heard about the battle are you unhurt.”
