Dark Magus Returns

Entering the town on their own, the two guys couldn't stop turning their heads and using their coin to buy snacks, ornaments, and more. It had been a long time since they were able to just do this.

To just enter a town, or a city and enjoy it for what it was. Even though they knew they were here for a reason. As for the second thing, it was the first time they had money available as well.

It seemed like not just Simyon but even Liam had lived a life that was filled with poverty, especially the way they were spending coin.

"Can you guys cool it a little?" Safa asked. "We don't even have a place where we can put all of this stuff."

"Don't worry, I paid a carriage man to look after our excess items and we can use him to head back as well. I don't think it's a problem," Liam said.

"Yes, but you guys are using the money that Raze got, it's not really our money. He gets allowances from the clans, and he also makes a lot of money from selling his creations. You've seen how much he works doing those things in his spare time," Safa said.

For a moment both Liam and Simyon felt guilty, and after giving their items away, they quickly followed Safa again, and turned their heads more straight onto the task.

"So what are we going to do, are we just going to head into the Rylon Religion and try to do some detective work?" Liam asked.

"Or maybe we can wear disguises, or pretend that we want to become members. Sneak around and find out what they're up to!" Simyon suggested.

"No, that would take too long," Safa replied. "First, I think it's best we pay a visit to the local clan."

The three were standing in front of a large red door surrounded by a wall, and two guards stood out front. It was the local clan of the area, the Force Clan.

"We are here from the Dark Faction Academy," Safa claimed. "We would like to have a meeting with your leader. Please let him know we are here."

The two guards looked at each other, and smiled, they then looked up and down what practically looked like three children in front of them.

"Yeah, and erghh I'm best friends with the Dark Magus, go home kids," the guard said, and the two of them chuckled.

"Seriously?" Simyon asked. "Is this going to happen every time?"

"This is why I told you, we need a name for ourselves man. Something that everyone can hear!"

"AHH!" The two boys heard screams of pain as they were discussing, and they could see that Safa was holding the spear in her hand. She had whacked one in the leg breaking it, and the other in the face, and slammed his body against the wall causing him to fall to the ground. Right after, she wasted no time as she walked in.

The air around Safa had changed since she had entered the town, and the two needed to quickly follow her lead.

They entered the small courtyard that was filled with trees and plants, and the building in front of them with many members turning their heads to look at what was taking place. One of the guards outside who had been hit in the face, shook his head before shouting. "Intruders... we have intruders attacking us, hurry!" The man shouted at the top of his lungs. Quickly, many of the warriors that were on the inside had rushed and had placed a formation around them. They drew their weapons ready to fight.

"Maybe we just need to look at this as training, and it reminds me of the time when we had to raid all those other clans," Liam added.

Due to the commotion, it was clear that the head of the clan moved from inside the building. He pushed the sliding door to the side and walked out onto his banister looking at the situation.

He squinted his eyes as he looked at the three in the centre.

"You fools what are you all doing, put your weapons down!" The Clan Head said.

Hearing the Clan Head shout like so, the other warriors immediately put their weapons down. The elder then rushed out, and when in front of them, he placed his knees on the ground. "Please forgive my clan members, your appearance is not known to many," the man said. "Please forgive me!" In that moment raising his own hands the Clan Head started to slap himself, at the side of his face hitting his cheeks.

He hit them so hard blood was appearing from his mouth. The others watching had no clue what was going on, and then Safa eventually grabbed the Elder's hand, and with her other hand glowing she treated his cheek with her Light magic.

"You don't have to do this, it was us who came here unannounced," Safa said.

The elder remembered well, the Force Clan was also affected by the great attacks that had occurred, and he did well to remember every single person that stood next to the Dark Magus. Not only was he afraid of these three individuals but also the Dark Magus himself.

Seeing how their elder was reacting the two guards at the front couldn't help but gulp at the scene, wondering what they had done.

"Please tell me, what is the reason you have come to visit us today, is there anything we can do to help?" The elder asked.

The healing on the cheek had come to an end, and Safa leaned back up.

"I came here to inform you that we will be investigating the Rylon Religion. I thought it was only right that we would inform the local clan here of what we are going to do."

"I want to tell you, that whatever happens, to not get involved, and to keep all of the public away as much as possible."

Safa turned away without hearing an answer, and the other two followed her.

Hearing those words there was only one thought that was going through the elder's mind. "It's going to be a bloodbath," the elder mumbled.
