《The Dark Star Emperors》Chapter 38: Threat to Deal With
Advertisement
As soon as they were done hugging, Mary grabbed her phone and put it away. She had no idea where the rest of her stuff was, but she didn't care.
As soon as they were about to leave, Mary remembered something.
"Oh, shit!" she yelled.
"What!?" both Jack and Yune exclaimed.
"The one that almost killed me," Mary said, "I almost forgot since I was so happy to see you girls."
"Oh, right. We did forget to ask you what happened. Were you fighting a Night Demon," Yune asked.
"No. I was fighting that Light Guardian girl. What was her name? Uh. The one with the tree daggers," Mary replied.
Yune said, "Hmm. I think that one was called Kira. Yep. Pretty sure."
"You were fighting one of them?" Jack asked Mary, "Why?"
"Well, things happened," Mary said, "And well, you could say that I instigated the fight with threats, but she was the one who actually started it with violence."
"What do you mean 'you could say'?" Jack asked angrily.
"Damn it. This is going to put a strain on our relationship. They can easily beat us in a fight and they already don't trust us at all. This is going to end badly. We might be able to talk with them, but I don't know..." Yune said worryingly.
Mary said, "That's not the real problem. She saw my transformation. She saw how my transformation was covered in shrouds of darkness. I don't know if she even thinks we're Light Guardians, anymore. She may think of us more as Night Demons than anything else."
The sun began to set.
"What did you say!?" Jack yelled angrily, "You're saying that they know what we are."

Yune thought calmly about the situation.
"I don't know," Mary replied, "But she saw my transformation. Even each of us thought that kind of transformation was strange for Light Guardians. And I may have even said some stuff while taunting her. I just don't know."
"Damn it!," Jack yelled.
Yune, however, was calm and collected. If Nina, Anne, and Kira knew that the they were beings brought to life by a creature of darkness, they would definitely think of them as enemies. All Yune thought about is what she would do in their place. She thought that Nina would never try to reason with something that could be considered as a Night Demon. And the only road led to killing three monsters. It was the most obvious choice and the only one she could think of.
As Jack panicked, Mary tried to calm her down by saying things like "Maybe, she didn't notice" and "Maybe, she thought it was just like any other transformation." But no excuse would calm Jack as her ears shut out all noise from the outside.
If Jack didn't know that Annie was at the city, then she would just leave. She didn't have any ill will towards these particular Light Guardians, although she didn't have high opinions of Light Guardians in general. And every time they fought against them, they lost. The first time Jack fought against them, she died. And the second time seemed even worse as their experience gave them strength. She didn't know how much time had passed, but it was enough to tell that they had grown.
As they wondered on their next move, Hades flew in from above as the sky suddenly turned dark.
"Hey. So, I do have some information that could help you on your decision-making, if you'd like it," Hades suggested.

Yune, Jack, and Mary looked at the owl and listened. They didn't trust Hades, but at this point, they all didn't know what to do. Should they run? Should they fight? None of them knew.
Hades coughed and said, "The girl, Kira, does know about your transformation. However, she didn't tell her two friends about it."
"Huh? Why wouldn't she? Does she not think it was strange?" Yune asked.
"Kira did think it was bizarre, but she was taking care of her boyfriend. As we speak, she's walking him safely home. She does plan on telling the other two about her... encounter. That will put a strain on things. And she will mention the strange dark aura that surrounded Mary."
"Damn it. What should we do?" Jack asked knowing they had limited time.
"I gave you the information. I won't decide what you should do with it. Do what you will," Hades said before flying away.
"What the hell? What a useless bird," Mary said as she waved her fist at Hades.
"So, any ideas?" Mary asked the other two.
"We need to stop her from telling Nina and Anne. If they have the slightest clue that we're not Light Guardians, then they will hunt us. And who knows how many others will hear about us," Yune said.
"Agreed. Now, let's go after her," Jack said as she began to run ahead, but then stopped in her tracks, "Anybody know where her house is?"
They called in the shopkeep and asked for where Kira's home was located along with the directions for the price of two black coins. He put the route on their phone's GPS and also gave Kira's exact location on the GPS after giving an extra black coin. They had no time to argue or haggle and could use any advantage.
And so, they transformed and dashed away towards Kira. What they planned to do however, none of them quite knew. The only thing they did know was that they needed to stop Kira from telling others about what they were.

Vemödalen: From The Other Side
War is coming - And when it comes - And where it comes - And whence it comes - The living shall envy the dead One to carry their sword in the name of their goddess and lady, to protect their land and people against the threat of the wicked. They know their path to be the righteous one. One to roam the land, hunting for all apparitions, and be scorned by man and beast alike. They know their path to be an arduous one. One to wander the realm in search of power, to protect themselves and what they believe in. They know their path to be the only one. Writers note: The first chapter will set the standard in terms of mood for the remainder of the story. It also comes to no surprise to me that half the people who read the first part stop reading any further. It has quite a bit of the good ‘ol ‘ultra-violence’ mixed with a great deal of realism. As much as I could fit into it from my own knowledge and experience in the elite forces. The first few chapters will be slow, after, but starting from ‘Restless Destroyer’ the remainder of the world will start to open up, and when we hit ‘Adronitis’ the prologue is largely finished. The novel is well thought out and filled with hidden lore, culture, history. So even if my word choice appears random – it’s not. There is a reason why these chapters take as long as they do. Vermodalen is fantasy adventure, with magic and heroics in an as realistic setting as I could fit. Things are rarely what they seem, and the ugly nature of people bleed through the letters at the turn of every page. I hope you can give this story a fair chance, even if it isn’t immediately to your taste. Lastly, english isn't my first language. It isn't my second one either. So, if you find errors in grammer and spelling, wordplay and sentance building, do let me know, and you will be rewarded by a surge of dopamine that will be released inside your brain for helping someone whom you haven't even seen or heard.
