78 Rage and Tears (2/2)
”Hold on now, what business do you have with my daughter? ” Alan said, moving between him and his daughter placing a hand on the man's chest while Hara and Joey stood next to him to protect her.
”If you know what is good for you then you will remove your hand. ” Another of the men stepped forward with a hand on his weapon.
”I am her father and any business with her is my business as well. Now tell me what is going on here. ” Alan replied bluntly while taking his hand off the man and looking at the other.
”Can you all calm down? This is not the way to accomplish what we came to do peacefully. Take a step back bruce. ” A tall man in a black robe said while stepping through the soldiers.
”I am sorry for Bruce's way of doing things, he is a military man born and raised. My name is Quin, I am a member of a faction flowing through all the kingdoms. Our influence here is vast and we seek out talented youth to train them to fight for their nation. When we heard of the young lady here named Sora I knew I must take action. A God never gives an element out like that and seeing that your daughter was the receiver of such a blessing it stands to reason her fate is grand. ” Quinn said with a smile.
”My daughter is going nowhere. She is staying with her family. There is nothing more for you to say so kindly leave us alone. ” Alan replied coldly, picking up on an uneasy atmosphere around the man.
”I do not wish to cause any issue with you as her father, however our goal is one that must be obtained. ” Quin replied, tapping Bruce's shoulder and walking back through the men to the back.
Getting the signal he hit Alan with the hilt of his sword so quickly that Joey and Hara almost couldn't see him move. Watching Alan fall to the ground unconscious Hara and Joey drew their weapons only to have to back down, feeling the soldiers' blades already at their throats.
”Grab the girl and let go, the family poses no threat to you. ” Quinn said, watching and waiting on them to have hands on Sora before leaving.
”Touch her and your leader will no longer have a head. ” Alice said hatefully trying her hardest to contain her rage as her scythe's blade rested firm against Quinn's neck causing a small stream of blood to trickle down his neck onto his robe.
”I am afraid you do not know what it is you are doing girl, if you want to continue to keep your life remove your weapon from my neck. The soldiers will not stop even if I die. ” Quinn replied nodding for Bruce to grab the girl anyways.
Remembering what Lord Kira had given her she pulled out his token and threw it on the ground in front of Quinn for him to see. ”It looks like you do not know who I am either. Tell your men to back away. ”
”So you have some rank in the Demon's army. That means nothing to me. ” Quinn replied with a smile as he gave another nod to Bruce.
”NOOO LET ME GO!!!! DADDY!!! HARA HELP!!!! ALICEEEE!!!!!! ” Sora cried out as Bruce grabbed her arms and pulled her to her feet, waking her up.
Hearing Sora cry she was no longer able to hold herself back, Alice yanked her blade back severing Quinns head while releasing her mana's pressure and taking her wings out without realizing it.
”Last chance unhand her. ” Alice said in a low voice, getting ready to attack and kill each and every one of the men in a soldier's uniform around her.
| Quest - Save the girl |
| Time limit - 115:59:59 |
| Reward - Title |
| Failure - Sora's Death |
Looking at the quest Alice's heart felt like it stopped seeing the meaning of her Failure in the quest.
Not giving it another thought Alice rushed forward slicing the first man in half at the waist, moving onto the second man Alice infused her scythe with the Fire Element making it look like she was throwing fire at her enemies with every swing of her weapon which draw a large crowd of people around to watch the chaos.
Having killed half of the soldiers in their group Alice was able to see that Bruce and Sora were nowhere to be seen.
”SORRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! ” Alice screamed out unconsciously, boosting the volume of her voice so loud that the entire Kingdom was able to hear her cries.
”Quickly escape! ” The remaining men yelled out, scattering through the crowd of people in attempts to get away from their killer.
Running over to Alan who was still unconscious on the ground where Hara and Joey sat with their heads down worried and scared for Sora.
”You have to get my sister back please I will do anything! ” Hara begged with tears in her eyes grabbing onto Alice as she crouched next to them.
”Tell Alan I am sorry I couldn't save her. I won't come back without Sora. ” Alice replied, eyes burning with rage and tears.
