Chapter 15: Sienna and Arya (Part-2) (2/2)
”Anyway, why did you told me to run? Are they coming towards the town?” I ask with a frown.
”Yes, they are. And we need to inform the guild as soon as possible!” she says urgently.
”But you must have met the guards at the entrance gate, right? You didn't inform them?”
”No, I… I flew over the wall because it was the shorter route inside,” she says.
”You flew over the wall?” I ask, surprised.
”W-Well, yes.”
Hmm… Looks like Arya has inherited the ability to fly from Zeus just like Lucy has inherited the power to create thunderbolts.
Surely, Sienna and the twins must have some powers as well. But well, this is not the time to pry about this…
”So, do you know how many earthborn are there?” I ask.
”I don't know their exact number in the forest, but our party was attacked by three of them.”
Three, huh?
Well, earthborns are powerful and dangerous creatures. With the level of demigods and human adventurers in this small town, three of them together must have proven to be really formidable foes.
Hmm… we might have one advantage here…
”By the way, did you just fly all the way here or did it just to cross over the wall?” I ask.
”Sister Sienna was wounded really badly, so, I had no choice but to fly all the way. The reason why I fell down earlier is because I expended all my energy,” she answers, looking a little confused from my question.
”And how far are these earthborns from the town?”
”A little more than four miles, I guess…”
”Okay… You see, earthborns can be fast when fighting, but they travel pathetically slow. I think we have more than three hours in hand before they reach even reach the walls surrounding the town, let alone start destroying it” I tell her.
”Really? 3 hours?” Arya asks, surprised.
”Yes, but still, it's early in the morning and the guild will have to summon demigods and adventurers. We need to inform them fast,” I say.
”I will go at once!” Arya says with a nod.
”No, you are in no condition to go. Sister, you go and inform them…” I say while turning to look at Lucy.
”But I don't even know where the guild is…” she says with a frown.
”Iris can show you the way. Though we cannot send her alone as there is a chance that the guild manager might not believe her. I cannot go because there is an important thing I have to do,” I say meaningfully.
Lucy looks at me for a couple of seconds.
”Fine… Iris, take me to the guild,” she says while starting to move towards the door.
”O-Okay,” Iris says and follow her outside.
”Now…”
I lift up Sienna from the floor and carry her to mine and Lucy's room.
”Ivy, wipe off the dirt and blood covering her body with hot water and clean all the wounds that haven't fully healed yet,” I say while putting Sienna's body on top of the bed.
”Okay…” Ivy answers before leaving the room to fetch water and cloths.
”Now, Arya, you should take a bath as well and rest for a while. We might need your help later,” I say.
”You are covered in blood as well, brother. Let's bath together. It will save time,” Arya says with a smile.
”Together?” I ask with my eyebrows raised.
”Yes, we are siblings, right? There should be no problem,” she answers innocently.
Sibling or not, I am a fully-grown man, you know?
But well…
”I have no problem if you don't,” I say with a shrug.
Only an idiot would refuse to bath with a hot girl like her.
”And well, if we are saving time, I guess I should invite one more person to the bath,” I say.
”And who is that?” Arya asks with a frown.
”My servant…”
I close my eyes and concentrate.
”Nemesis, your master calls upon you. Present yourself!”
