There are Fifteen Guards of the Continents. These people are tasked with the security and protection and military activities of an entire continent and every kingdoms military on it. They have immense responsibilities and tasks so they are usually very busy. It is also rumoured that the Fifteen Guards are blessed by gods because of their excellent strategical thinking and combat abilities. Each guard has a different way of thinking. Some are more war-minded while others are calm. The Guards oversee the wars in the kingdoms to make sure it won't turn into a massacare and that one kingdom is completely obliterated of their military. The kingdoms must stay because each of them has their own purpouse in the world and if one falls the entire world feels the impact of it. Some kingdoms turn greedy and try to take over other kingdoms but the Guards have a duty to make sure every Kingdom can fulfill their purpouse.

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

I go downstairs after I slept and see Fyra already there.

Mithneel: "So you got cured?"

Fyra: "Yes! It was poison what could kill people but it was so common it was treated by the doctor!"

Mithneel: "Good. Let's get moving."

I wave to Ulric and Tyr. Tyr is crying and Ulric is holding back his tears.

Mithneel: "Ulric, I can see you are not crying but you want to."

Ulric: "But... It's not a mans job to cry..."

Mithneel: "It is not a job. It is a feeling for those who die or go away. All beings can cry for their loved ones."

Ulric starts crying even more than Tyr.

Mithneel: "You two really are like the mother and father I saw but never got to live with."

I walk out the door with those words and Fyra follows me. I decided to take a single horse instead of a carriage. Carriages are too seeable and can only take a few roads while only horses are better in both those ways. I head to the West Gate of the city. There is a stable near here so I go there. I buy one horse with the money i've gained over time. We then start riding towards the West. There is an even bigger city there. We ride for a couple of days with no events. Well.. Some minor events but they are not worth mentioning. We reach the city and go inside. There are guards who look at us but keep doing their jobs. I hand over my horse to a stable nearby and take Fyra with me to look for an Inn. I look around and see people in the alleyways. They are looking at us and whispering. Because of my enhanced hearing I can hear their words.

Shady Man: "Hohoh... Look at that fine girl right there... She would catch quite a few silver coins."

Shady Woman: "And look at that boy... Such an Unique hairstyle... He would catch for a gold coin easily... I see no guardian, do you?"

Shady Man: "No. Let's follow them for a while."

I keep back my laughter when they stop their little chat. They think they can kidnap us? Well we might be kids but I am deffinetly not weak. I don't need any guardian because I am one. I'll help them a little with some... Torture... I guess i'll use Fyra as bait? I'll feel bad but she insisted to come. So she won't mind if I do right? Hahah!

We find an Inn. 'The Yelling Timber'. Funny name. I go inside and see why... There are basically tree-people in here. They have some branches and look like human trees. And they do yell! A lot! I don't know how I missed it when I was outside. Magic? No matter. It does nothing to me. I go up to the counter and a tall woman who is like a bear. Just... Bigger. Well in my eyes for now atleast. I guess she is the manager?

Manager: "Heya kid. What you doing over in the Yelling Timber? This ain't for kids."

I give her the death stare.

Manager: "... Kid... You..."

She tries to hit me but I already grabbed her hand and stopped it.

Manager: "Ok, You are not a simple kid. What do you want here? A room?"

I nod.

Manager: "What is your name? Mine is Jarica by the way."

Mithneel: "My name is Mithneel. This girl is Fyra."

I take out the rest of my life savings. I'll earn them back with work. I put the coins on the counter.

Mithneel: "How long can we stay here with that?"

Jarica: "Couple months."

Mithneel: "Where can I find work?"

Jarica: "The Adventurer Guild might take you. You just have to prove you are not a simple kid."

I nod and she gives us a paper with a key. Room 34 on the 3rd floor.

Mithneel: "You are fine with sleeping in the same room with me right?"

Fyra: "Yeah."

I head to our room and notice the two shady people with some others following us. Do they think they can beat us with that many? Only... Ten? Hahah! Guess i'll ask them where their branch is. Guess I didn't need to use Fyra as bait. When we enter I put down all our stuff and hear banging on the door. When I open it somebody tries to attack me with a poisoned dagger. I just grab their arm.

*Crack*

Mithneel: "So. Please come in."

They come in and I close the door.

Mithneel: "So you thought of us as simple kids with no protector?"

They try to attack me.

*Crack* *crack* *crack*

Mithneel: "How many arms must I snap out of place before you realize you cannot beat me? Age does not matter when dealing with me."

They try to attack me again. I grab their arms and tear them off completely making blood fly out. I don't let it land on the ground by using strong wind magic to keep it in the air.

Mithneel: "Fyra, open the window near the bed please."

She nods and opens them and takes a step back. I throw the blood out of here and onto somebodies roof to avoid suspicion and keep doing that. I don't want blood all over my new room do I? I have to live here for quite a while.

Mithneel: "Now... Sit down."

I look at them and they actually sit down like dogs. When I pull down their hoods I notice they are dogs. Well dog-people.

Mithneel: "So... Are you working alone or with an organization?"

They keep their mouth shut but I grab one of their faces and tear off their ear. The dog-human howls in pain but I made sure to make a strong wind barrier what blocks the sounds from inside.

Mithneel: "I don't like asking twice."

Dog-human: "Alright! We work for an organization!"

Mithneel: "Where are they?"

Dog-human: "In the docks. Second warehouse. That is where their base is. We only find and take back the kids we kidnap they do the rest. We are forced to kidnap though!"

Mithneel: "Thank you for your co-operation. And have a nice nap."

Dog-human: "Huh?"

I snap their necks one by one. They try to run away but I 'teleport' infront of them and snap their necks. I throw their bodies out the door. I'll let Jarica handle them. I turn around and look at Fyra.

Fyra: "So are you going?"

I nod.

Mithneel: "I'll be back soon though. I want to oversee their destruction myself."

Fyra: "I'll stay here. I'm kind of sleepy again.."

Mithneel: "Let me do something real quick though."

I go up to her and bite her in the finger and drink a little bit of blood. I feel nothing wrong with it.

Mithneel: "Ok, the poison is completely gone I think. It's kind of hard to tell the difference without relying on my senses. My senses say it's fine though."

I then jump out the window and run from rooftop to rooftop. I jump high into the air sometimes to see where the dock is. I reach the dock in half an hour and find the warehouse. It is indeed huge. I bring out my board and place some of my guard slots right behind me. Atleast 150 knights are here right now.

Mithneel: "Half of you surround the building. Do not let anybody out or in. Keep everybody in. Those who have weapons and try to attack you, disarm them. The other half search the entire warehouse and bring every single living being to me. If they retaliate then you may attack them but not kill them."

The next second the building is already surrounded and the other half searching the entire warehouse. They find some paths underground and search them all too. They don't go out the other way though. These knights do keep their word.

I go into an empty area in the warehouse and wait. Twenty seconds later atleast fifty armed men are here with two hundred slaves. Most of them female, some badly damaged males. The females are not in good shape either. The fifty armed men are in good shape though. Probably they are the captors.

Mithneel: "Who is your leader?"

One of them steps up. A rat man.

Rat-man: "I am Ernun! What are you doing, sending knights after us! I thought we had a deal with the kingdom!"

Mithneel: "Hooh? I am not with the kingdom. I am my own army. And all these knights are my own summons."

A slave looks at me.

Slave: "Oh.. Goddess... It's the savior! It's the one who saved my older sister from the hands of the Firestone family! My sister described him exactly as he looks right there! But where is the big glowing ring he had? No matter! He is here to save us!"

I look at the slave. It is a slave who is in better condition than the others but still bruised up pretty badly. The slaves immediatly look at me instead of the knights and cheer up. I guess the rumour about me got to them too somehow? But my description is out there...

Mithneel: "Dear soon-to-be former slave... How many people know about me?"

Slave: "All the slaves. No commoner who isn't a slave knows about you though. We keep our word to our savior."

Phew... I guess only the slaves know it. Just as I asked them to keep my secret and only tell other slaves. Well.. Now back to the captors.

I teleport infront of the Rat-man whose name I don't want to remember and grab him by the neck. I start pulling his limbs off one by one while using wind magic to contain the blood so it doesn't spill on me. When I tear off all his limbs I grab his head. He is still living. Not for long though. I squeeze his life right out of him and crush his brain. My hands get a little dirty but I use water magic to clean it off.

I open my board. Maybe there is something what can torture others? I look around the slots what have expanded now. I guess it expands when I want it to? Wow... There is everything here. A centipede? Hmm... Oh! There we go! Something what looks like a torturer! I bring it out and put it right behind me.

I bring up it's description.

Type of Familiar:TorturerFirst Class, Sub-class and Second ClassTorturerPain-makerExpert TorturerAttributes:Strength: 2500Charisma/Leadership: 0Agility: 5250Intelligence: 5000Magical Power: 15000Usable Elements:Shadow Element, Blood ElementAbilities:Instant Pain (Pain Level not set)Torture Chamber

Hah. It litteraly is a Torturer. It is a woman with a lot of leather clothing and a whip. She also has a mask on her face that is completely blank. She is wearing full black and red clothing.

Mithneel: "Torturer, use Torture Chamber."

A weird small map appears with some dots. I locate every dot in reality and set all the enemies as red (torture and kill) and all the slaves as Green (Do not torture at all and do not kill them). The next moment the Torturer shrieks and a weird room appears around us. Well it will be more proper to say... The warehouse turned into the room.

Mithneel: "Torturer, Torture designated enemies for three hours. Do not give them any time to kill themself and use every second to make maximum pain."

The torturer nods and seals herself with the captors in another room. I hear screaming coming from there and laughter from a female voice.

Mithneel: "Knights, help the slaves up and take them outside."

When we go outside the torture chamber shrinks to only the room the designated enemies are in. A slave girl approaches me.

Girl: "What will... You do.. To us now...?"

Mithneel: "Nothing. You are free."

Girl: "But... We will be... Enslaved again..."

Mithneel: "Then find me again... And then I'll kill the bastards and leave a message to stop all slavery unless they want to die."

Girl: "Thank you..."

She passes out. Probably from too much pain. I look at my board again and look around the expanded zone for a healer. I find one mage with a staff what has the healing symbol on it. I bring him out and he has a blue and green robe what reaches to the ground it has a plague doctors mask with it that is also colored blue and green. I look at the mages stats.

Type of Familiar:World Plague HealerFirst Class, Sub-class and Second ClassHealerPlague DoctorWorld Plague DoctorAttributes:Strength: 150Charisma/Leadership: 2500Agility: 5250Intelligence: 6500Magical Power: 17600Usable Elements:Light Element, Earth ElementAbilities:Passive HealingFull-army Heal

Good stats... Full-army heal sounds powerful. I make him heal all the slaves once I went through the stats. Well It's time to get back to Fyra. I look at the Torturer and notice only one dot is remaning and that dissapears soon too. The torturer then comes back to me and bows down. I put her back in her slot and put every soldier squad and the healer in their slots too. This is going to get really confusing if I have to put down an entire army. Speaking of armies... I litteraly have a lot of armies in here. This board is really strong... I do not want to find out if it has High-Tiered mobs and if the Knights are just low-tiered... Because it sure looks like it. I see some weird symbols ontop of the board in mid-air and some walls seperating other places. I cannot reach into the other slots on the board what are seperated by the wall. I guess I must do something to get them? I currently only have 45 slots avaible and see atleast 500 of them total. I have a lot to learn about this board...

I jump away when I make sure all the knights and torturer and healer are back in their slots and then leave. It took me half an hour to 'clean' the warehouse and half an hour to get back. I jump back into my room once I get to the window. Fyra is already asleep and seems she made enough room for me to get into bed too. I look around my body to make sure no blood stains are on it and then go to sleep on the bed next to Fyra.

Eventful day indeed... I just don't want more surprises... I'll blend into the crowd from now on... But it seems impossible with my hair colour...
