Chapter 43 - Order 43: Library

Back in Libertatis the sky is blue, Surya and Ra shining bright like bright lanterns in a dark room. Wind waves between the buildings and people refreshing the air around

Streets are filled with footsteps and flapping wings of the people living there

Chatter and laughter is everywhere like concert of a famous pianist

Achlys and Cryo walking around the city, looking around and talking to each other

"Achlys? Do you have perhaps any idea what you wanna do now?" Cryo asks intrigued, waiting for a respons

"I want to go to a library and read some books, I want some stress release" he spoke out sighing

"You seem stressed indeed is it about that light?" Cryo asked knowing the answer already

"It is indeed about that light... But in the other... Nevermind" he stops himself from what he was about to say

"I will search for a library Achlys, make sure you are safe" he flies up in his phoenix form and flies away

Achlys watches him fly away and keeps wandering forward as a female Pegaluve stops him "s-sir... You are friends with that blue haired winged man r-right?"

Achlys nods confused "blue haired...? Oh you mean! Cryo!" He confirmed cheerfully

"C-can you pass this to him...?" She hands Achlys a red rose with a note attached on it

"Uh... I will do so! Anything else I must know to tell him?" He asked once more with a smile

"L-let him know I-its from Miharu..."

Achlys looks up to the girl

The girl has short brown hair and a mature figure with a larger bust and wider hips, but a relatively flat stomach. Her brown wings with black shading are visible behind her. She wears a long shirt with designs of Ra, Surya, and the three moons, and her shorts reveal toned legs that slightly tremble. A small smile and subtle blush adorn her face, and her dark purple eyes dart discreetly as she glances around.

"Will do... Take care Miharu" Achlys waves and leaves the moment continue to search for a library

The girl watching Achlys leaves, she turns around and runs in a happy way

Cryo lands before Achlys middle in the streets "first order!" Achlys grabs his sword in reaction

"Yo yo calm down Achlys! It's my Cryo"Achlys stops himself before using an order attack as his marking is gowing red

"Never do that again you misformed bird!" Achlys speaks out in a frustrated sigh

"The nicknames are getting out of hand" Cryo looks down and tears falling down of his face

Achlys sheets his blade back in and pats his shoulder "found the library?" Cryo heard it and points to the west of the city "its a small one, but if seemed big enough" he reassured as they started to make his way

"Also who was that woman that you were talking to?" Cryo asked, eyes narrowing slightly, eager to know the answer.

Achlys gives him the rose with the note attached to it "she wanted me to hand you this"

Cryo takes the rose and stares at blankly "is this a confession?" Cryo asked without thinking

Achlys makes a fist, jumps up a little and punches Cryo on the head "YOU IDIOT it is ofcourse a confession"

Cryo rubs his head and reads the note

"She wants me to meet her today before sunset on the Lunray mountain range" Cryo reads out loud

"Don't READ IT OUT LOUD" Cryo feels another fist on his head "WHAT WAS THAT FOR" he shouts back hitting Achlys on the head

"You are not suppose to read a love note out loud if it's for you, GOSH"a deep and annoyed sigh can be seen leaving Achlys mouth

He hits Cryo once more "what did I do this time!!" He shouts again

"I felt like doing it"

_________________

Achlys arrives in the library alone as for Cryo he gave the location street and house number and flew off to the Lunray mountain range to meet up with Miharu

"Time to read some books about time"he looks around searching for some books as one of the library workers come to him

"Hello mister, may your day be blessed from our masters" Achlys looks at the middle aged male pegaluve with his wings smalletr then his hands in a gray colour

Achlys looks at him for a short second "good day to you as well... Mister?" He replied confused looking around finding no one in the library

"Is there anything I can help you with... Mister?" Achlys asked confused feeling a little tense with the men never leaving his gaze at Achlys

"You are the sword aren't you... Young man?" Achlys eyes widen at his statement and tries to brush it off

"w-what are you taking about? What makes you thing that?" Achlys in panic as his marking shines white and Achlys puts a book on it

"It glowed, you are a order... Marking of the sword" the men replied with a small smile and closes his eyes

"What glowed?? I didn't see anything glow!" He replied in a fast tone trying to stop it from him

Achlys opens the book fast and starts reading some sentences "uhh the blanket wavered In the air like a blossom that held the fabric of their live together" he looked at them man for a short moment who kept the same face with the same smile

He goes to another page "the light of the summoning circle glows and shines a piller of light that pierces the heavens of the gods"he looks over his book again and sees the man looking at him with the smile on his face

"Your bad at lying like all the previous users." Achlys stops reading the book and stares at him confused "different users? You know more?" The man shakes his head and waves to Achlys to follow him

"I have been waiting for you, the previous user has been waiting for you." He walks to the end of an hallway in a yellow tinted colour

Achlys followed him looking a little around him "what year was he alive when the previous user was alive" the man chuckled and turns around "300 years ago he fought endless waves of the radiant dawn and a group called the Red Tide."

He stopped at a door and turns to Achlys "he died in battle killing the last member of the Red Tide... But before he went to the battle he made a book... For the next choosen one..."

He takes out a key and a box places the key in the keyhole of the box to take another key out of it opening the door

"I can't enter this room... Only you can enter this place" Achlys stares for a moment and nods before entering the room and the door behind him closes

--------------------

Lecia and lisare are outside the city and Lecia looks back at the city walls "they are darn huge, I would say close to a few tens of meters" lisare also looks back and nods "longet!!" She replied

"No, they are gray not black" she replied back in a quick answer

Lisare stops for a moment and stares at her in confusion "longet sisi dop?" She asked curiously as Lecia smiles warmly "of course I can hear you, I am able to nullify curses... For myself at least"

Lisare watches Lecia move forward to a certain place "are you gonna come or not? I am not gonna carry you! I only carry my husband!" Lecia shouted as she watches Lisare smile and run to her

-----------------

They arrive in a empty mountain range with broke trees everywhere, broken mountain tips and even some places melted down showing solid lava around a lower part of the area

"Sisi longet longet dop!" Lisare explained pointing to every where and Lecia nodding

"This is an training ground, for you? To let your emotions out and control them?" She answered the explanation with Lisare nodding

"Longet!"

"You wanna fight me? Why is that?" Lecia curiously asked

"dop dop!" She replied to Lecia taking out her swallow out of a portal

"Because I look strong... Hahahaha!!!" She laughs out loud in amusement and cleans her tears away from her eyes "sure! I will fight you!"

Lecia takes a rock presses it down with gravity that is starts to get more dense forming a stronger stone

"Weapon gravity creation!" She slams her hand on the forming weapon and it releases a shockwave across the area shaking some left over branches with leaves on the broken trees

She grabs the weapon up and points at Lisare "a spear of hard stone u

Infused with heavy mana!" Lisares looks at it for a second, she sees glowing purple lines flowing between the dense stone in the spear

"Dop Sisi dop!" She smiles and she waves the swallow down to the ground. as the swallows blades start to spin, they get lose from the weapon flying around Lisare

"Three versus one?" Lecia smiles and takes a stance "no magic allowed except mana flow between weapons" she dashes at Lisare jumping up and pointing the spear down to where she lands

Lisare watches Lecia and the spear ever so closely and dodges right before it hits and counters with her swallow that the spear aims a little to the right away from her to hit a tree

As soon contact with the tree is made the tree dissapeared as will with parts of the ground "ultimate devastation" Lecia lifts the spear up and smiles as she sees Lisare enjoying it as much as she does

Lisare dashes forward to Lecia, Lecia holds the spear Infront of her to defend herself for something

"Dop longet sisi dop dop!" Lisare shouts as Lecia's face changes from happy to serious "do not bully that mistake of a bird! I can only bully him!"

Lisare is right Infront of the spear as Lecia tries to thrust the spear into Lisare, Lisare borrows her swallow in the ground and grabs the spear as a mountain behind her forms multiple giant holes that could delete buildings with ease

"And now what? You have my spear-" she realizes and forceble takes the spear back slamming Lisare down in a mountain with force

Where Lecia was just standing hundreds of scars In the ground had formed as the blades swirl around Lecia trying to attack her from every possible angel

With no luck, Lecia hits the blades with her own spear away every time they charge

She was about to block again but Lisare appears before her eyes and she already had thrown a punch to her face "longet!"

Lisares punch connects with Lecia face

Lecia flies into a mountain, but it didn't stop there she flew straight through the mountain to the next one and the next one

Lecia unconscious body flies against the last mountain ending her flying parade and leaving her laying there in the crater

The spear she created fell down next to her
