63 Festival of a Hero Pt 1 (1/2)
”Alice wake up! You can't be late for your own freaking festival! ” Yumi said while busting through her bedroom door, annoyed since the festival had just started and she was still laying in bed sleeping like nothing was going on.
”Mmmn ” Alice rolled over away from her not wanting to leave the level of comfort she has achieved. ”Give me a little more time please. ”
”Like hell. ” Yumi said, pulling Alice off the bed by her feet to force her to get up.
”Whyyyyyyy.. ” Alice said lazily in protest to Yumi's actions.
”Get dressed or I will go without you. How do you think the King will react if you don't show up after the stunt you pulled yesterday? ” Yumi said, remembering the King's face when Alice ran off after dropping such big news on him.
Getting on her feet Alice used her ring to get dressed, ”Happy now? ”
”No. Give me one of those rings and I will be happy, do you even know how long it took me to get ready?! ” Yumi replied angrily.
”It's one of a kind unfortunately, lets go since you woke me up so suddenly. ” Alice said, walking past her and out of the Estate with Yumi following right beside her.
Walking up to the gate Alice thought of just running when she saw that there were people making a path on both sides of the gate waving and cheering for her. Walking through the path they made Alice put on a smile and played her part by talking with all the regular people giving her their gratitude.
”WINGS WINGS WINGS! ” The crowd started chanting wanting to see Alice in all of her glory, a sight which was only seen by the warriors on the battlefield making it a powerful topic of conversation amongst the citizens of the Kingdom.
”It wouldn't hurt anything to show the people, everyone here accepts you so don't be scared. ” Yumi said in a voice just loud enough for Alice to hear sensing her hesitation at showing her wings again.
”I guess I will meet you again at the castle. ” Alice said, taking her wings out causing the people to cheer even more.
Flapping them hard she took to the sky above them staying low enough for everyone to see her as she looked at the sight below her, the streets were crowded and food stalls and games set up at the edges of the streets.
Flying slowly to the castle Alice felt a large presence coming her way, stopping in her tracks she turned around to see a small army of Demons coming on large flying beasts.
The people turning to see why she stopped all started to panic at the sight causing people to start running in fear at the sight.
”KNIGHTS TO YOUR POSTS! ” The same commander from the war yelled out from below her as the streets started to clear and festivities came to a complete halt.
Taking her scythe out and infusing it with a large amount of the Light Element the Demons slowed down at the blinding sight.
Before Alice was even able to charge at the Demons to help defend the Kingdom a deafening boom sounded as the ground as far as Alice could see turned so black it looked like the Kingdom was floating.
”Return now little ones, this Kingdom has the blessing of receiving me to this festival. ” Nyx's voice could be heard from every direction as the skies began to turn black as well eliminating almost all of the light from the area.
”We only wish to speak with Alice! We know you cannot do anything to us! ” The demon riding on a wyvern shouted while slowly flying closer to Alice.
”You believe I can do nothing to you? Care to see just what I can do little boy? ” Nyx said, sucking all of the blackness from the sky and ground into one spot in front of him and stepping out with a smirk.
