The King

(Lucan stared at Ignis and Draven as they both had wild smirks on their face; they believe that he is wildly out matched and way in over his head. They would be correct.)
Draven: "I have to hand it to you kid; you got some guts wanting to stand up to us when you're swordsman buddy couldn't even defeat us."
Ignis: "Guts is too generous, its simply just foolish. This little runt must have a death wish."
Lucan: "You just love to hear yourselves talk don't you?" (Lucan grabbed his cloak and pulled it over his head tossing it to the side as he took off his gloves and leather armor tossing them all aside as he rolled his neck and cracked his knuckles.)

Draven: "Ditching the armor is bold; you must truly want to die on this day."
Lucan: "I am not dying today; if anyone is going to die it will be you."
Ignis: "The audacity is crazy brother; lets teach this fool a lesson."
Draven: "Yes brother lets."
(Ignis pulled out a book from a pouch on his back as he opened it and it proceeded to glow as the pages flipped rapidly and landed on a page.)

Ignis: "EARTH MANIPULATION MAGIC: EARTHQUAKE!" (Ignis stomped his foot into the ground as he twisted it and the ground began to shake throwing Lucan off his balance as Draven ran over top the earth unaffected at fast speeds towards Lucan who could not defend himself.)
Draven: "INERTIA SURGE: GORILLA'S FOREARM!" (Draven quickly stopped in his tracks as he started to spin like a gorilla towards Lucan as he smashed his forearm into the side of his head.)
Draven: "INERTIA SURGE: CROCODILE'S JAW!" (Draven grabbed Lucan by the head with both of his arms and began to roll over and over again as he slammed his body repeatedly.)

(The Earth stopped shaking as Draven did one backflip landing next to his Brother as they both snickered as Lucan struggled back up to his feet.)
Draven: "Ready to surrender and throw in the towel? We won't blame you if you do."
Ignis: "Many don't survive a combo attack from us; so I'll give you that much, you are tough."
Lucan: "Is it my turn to attack?" (Lucan wiped blood from his brow as he huffed and puffed.)
Draven: "Hahahaha, if you want to; go ahead and try."
(Draven and Ignis both snickered at this statement as Lucan was staring at them with a serious scowl as they finally stopped snickering. Lucan began to slowly walk towards the two as they upped their guards in confusion.)

Ignis: "What the hell is he doing?"
Draven: "I'm not sure; he's just walking towards us." (The two looked at each other and as they looked back Lucan had disappeared and they were shocked as they started to look for him.)
Draven: "Where did he go?!?"
Ignis: "I'm not sure, he was just there!"
Lucan: "I guess you're not as smart as you thought." (Lucan was standing on a tree branch above them as he quickly wrapped his legs around it and swung down grabbing Draven by the head as he held him in a chokehold as Draven began to struggle to breath.)
Ignis: "Let go of my brother you bastard!"
(Ignis jumped up and attempted to punch Lucan as he quickly pulled Draven up resulting in Ignis punching his brother in the stomach as Lucan then quickly dropped him resulting in them landing on each other.)

Draven: "You Bastard! I'm going to kill you!"
Ignis: "Lets end this now Brother!"
(Ignis leaped to his feet and once again summoned the book to his side as it started to glow an even darker shade then before as he started to glow himself with a similar color as he raised his arms and every muscle in his body began to strain.)
Ignis: "EARTH MANIPULATION MAGIC: CRUSHING WEIGHT OF THE WORLD!" (Ignis raised his arms as the entire earth began to shake once again as rocks and trees and all the snow started to raise into a gigantic meteor as Lucan stared it in pure fear.)
Draven: "INERTHIA SURGE: A THOUSAND POUND DEATH BLOWS!" (Draven appeared in front of Lucan and with a book now at his side charged every bit of weight to the max in his arms as he started to repeatedly punch Lucan in the face over and over as Lucan began to drift in and out of consciousness before Draven finished and he fell backwards laying on his back as Ignis dropped his arms and the meteor began to crash down as Lucan thought it was all over.)

???: "I guess this stupid kid already went and got himself killed did he?"
(Draven and Ignis huffing from the amount of power they used to pull off this combination attack were now staring in disbelief at a new foe stood before them where Lucan stood; he was wearing torn clothes that looked like Lucan's but was a foot taller and he had blue skin with 6 arms and long red hair with a massive smile across his face as he held the meteor with 1 arm.)
Draven: "Who the Hell are you?"
???: "Me?"
Ignis: "Who else you dumbass."
???: "I am The Divine Demon King Rulthagar! I was summoned because you nearly killed my Disciple and I don't appreciate that.

Draven: "It doesn't matter who you are, we are still gonna kill you-" (Rulthagar tossed the meteor into the distance as it disappeared and he appeared in front of Draven as he grabbed him by the arms and dangled him.)
Rulthagar: "I don't like you; I'm going to teach you to address a divine being the correct way."
Draven: "You Bastard! let me down before my brother kills you."
(Draven looked at Ignis as he realized that Ignis was petrified with fear as he was now struggling to get free from Rulthagar's grip but was pointless as Rulthagar used two of his other arms to grab his legs and slowly started to stretch him.)
Rulthagar: "Lets see what gives first, your limbs or your will."
Draven: "Please! Let me go! I'm sorry, I won't ever fight again if you spare me!"
Rulthagar: "Oh really? I like that deal, but that's not enough for me; hmmm ah! I got it how about this." (Rulthagar placed his feet on the ground as he grabbed his two arms and ripped them off as Draven started to gush blood as he screamed from the pain and shock of what he had done as Rulthagar turned to Ignis and stole his eyes.)

Rulthagar: "For your sins against a Divine Demon King, I will take the two things that allow you to cast your magic, if you survive from these wounds then you are allowed to live! Good luck!"
(Rulthagar looked around as he spotted Ryota and walked over to him and inspected him.)
Rulthagar: "Friend or foe?"
Ryota: "Although newly found, I am a friend of The Young Lucan."
Rulthagar: "What's your business with him?"
Ryota: "Me and my Lord ship, Her majesty Princess Kiyomi hired him to be her second escort in our journey to the capitol of the country and as you can see it has not gone very well."
Rulthagar: "This woman?" (Kiyomi instantly warped into Rulthagar's arm as she was confused looking around.)
Kiyomi: "Ryota? How did I get here?" (She looked up at Rulthagar as she started to scream and attempt to push him away.)
Rulthagar: "Allow me to assist you in your journey as you are a friend of my disciple."

(Rulthagar picked up Ryota shattering the earth that encased his legs as in an instant the scenery changed and they did not recognize it and began to question what he had done.)
Ryota: "Where are we?"
Kiyomi: "What did you do to us?"
Rulthagar: "The capitol is about half a mile that way; you can walk the rest. I am going to release my hold on Lucan's body and repair his soul but his body will be severely damaged so you will have to catch and help him to the capitol and seek medical attention."
Ryota: "What do you mean release your hold? What is going on?"
Rulthagar: "Take Care Ryota Ishikawa of the Blade and Kiyomi Sakuragi of the Sakuragi dynasty, until we meet again." (In an instant Rulthagar disappeared as they were now standing on their own feet and a badly damaged and hurt Lucan appeared in his place as he began to fall forward before Ryota caught him and proceeded to attempt to pick him up until it was a fail and began carrying him as his legs dragged on the ground as they approached the front guards at the capitol.)

Guard #1: "What happened to you folks? Your friend looks near dead!"
Ryota: "Sir, we need to get our friend to a healer quickly; here is a paper saying out business, please forward it to the King as we take him to do so."
Guard #2: "Those are the Foreign diplomats here to talk peace, let them in."
(The Guards open the doors to the city as they walk through and they are pointed in the direction of a big building covered in vines with a faded symbol above the door as they bust through it to see multiple women training to use healing magic.)
Ryota: "Please my friend needs help, he is going to die!"
Kiyomi: "I am Kiyomi Sakuragi of The Land of the Glowing Sun, I am in dire need of help and anyone who does so will be blessed by my family and their people."
(A Door slammed open as a woman with blonde hair put into a long braid wearing a green top with a embroidered green Cloak with gold lining and the same Insignia that was fading on the front of the building stepped out due to all the commotion.)
???: "What is all the yelling about?"
Magic Trainee: "Master these people are seeking a healer to help their friend, he's in a bad way."
???: "Bring him into this back room and place him on the table; now come."

(Ryota ran through the door and lifted Lucan the best he could onto the table as the woman walked in behind them and began examining his body.)
???: "Its like a mountain landed on him; what happened to him?"
Ryota: "You could say something similar happened to him; he was fighting two magicians one with Earth Manipulation and one with Mass Manipulation."
???: "The Drayke brothers huh?"
Ryota: "You know them?"
???: "Who doesn't, biggest trouble makers in the 12 guilds; doesn't surprise me they were doing assassin work."

(The Woman dipped her hands in water as she focused all her power into her hands and slowly went up and down multiple times over his body as some of the smaller cuts and bruises began to heal and Lucan's expression lightened as she continued to do it for several minutes.)
???: "He should be good, he'll need rest so I would suggest to get him to an inn; but he will live."
Ryota: "We don't even know your name, but thank you for saving our friend."
Gwenlyn Spellvine | Captain of Verdant Hearth |: "I'm Gwenlyn Spellvine, I am the Captain of the Guild Verdant Hearth and don't even mention it, this is my job after all."
Kiyomi: "Thank you Miss Spellvine, we are truly in your debt and you will be paid well by my family and our estate."
Gwenlyn: "Don't worry about that, just get him to a bed and get him rest; if he doesn't wake up in a couple hours, come and fetch me."

(Ryota would pick up Lucan as they go to leave; as they are walking down a side road of the massive capitol city and spot a inn, before they are able to walk forward and towards it they are surrounded by multiple men in dark clothing.)
Ryota: "More Assassins, Lady Kiyomi please watch Lucan as I take care of these jokers."
Kiyomi: "Alright Ryota, be careful." (Ryota placed Lucan in a wagon full of hay as Kiyomi stood next to him and made sure he was alright as Ryota drew his blade and slowly walked in between all of the men.)

Assassin: "We were told to bring you the boss your heads; its your unlucky day, you should of let Ignis and Draven kill you."
Assassin 2: "Yeah now we're gonna torture you."
(The 6 men leaped towards Ryota as he went on guard expecting to be fighting for a while as he wished to reserve his energy when all of a sudden a man leaped down from a building and the Assassins engaged him as he started to dance on his hands kicking fire at all of them as he flipped up and threw punches that resulted in massive fire balls coming from his hands as he simultaneously kicked backwards with the same effect taking 2 of the 6 out as he then grabbed one by the arm and spun around launching him into another before grabbing the final guy and punching him multiple times all over his body and as they were lined up summoning a massive wave of fire that resulted in all of them being knocked out simultaneously before multiple guards appear and start cuffing them.)
???: "Take care of these men, they are illegally doing Assassin work and causing disturbances in the city."
Guard: "Yes sir! Thank you for the assistance." (The guards run off as the man sporting a bright red coat with red boots and a orange cloak with a dragon Insignia on it turned to Ryota and smiled.)

Jerek "Pyre" Cauter | Captain of Ember Zenith |: "I'm Jerek Cauter and I apologize for stepping into a fight that was not mine, but I can't stand those guys; they think they can do whatever they want, I knew you had it. I take it you and that lady over there are the Diplomats from the Land of the Glowing Sun, in that case why don't you grab your injured friend and come with me to stay at my estate."
Ryota: "It would be an honor sir, thank you for helping us and your hospitality." (Ryota grabbed Lucan as Jerek started toward the upper area of the capitol as Kiyomi and Ryota fell in line following him.)

Jerek: "So what happened to your friend? I heard that you went to Gwenlyn; must of been some injury."
Ryota: "We fought two Mages, Ignis and Draven Drayke they were formidable and they basically dropped a meteor on him after brutally beating him."
Jerek: "I see, and where are these two now?"
Ryota: "Dead."
Jerek: "He managed to kill two higher threat mages single handedly and live to tell the tale?" (Jerek was curious as Ryota thought about mentioning the transformation before he decided on not saying anything about it for Lucan's safety.)
Ryota: "Yes, Lucan is a very strong man; he also uses a sword as you can see it on my back."
Jerek: "Interesting..." (They arrived at a very ornate building as Jerek walked up the porch and the door opened as he walked in and a servant was standing there waiting for their command.)
Jerek: "Pellum, you and another servant take this man to a bed as he needs to rest and then see that us three get tea and food in the sitting room."
Pellum: "As you wish sir."

(Pellum and another servant both grabbing the unconscious body of Lucan as they struggle to carry him up the stares as another servant opens a door to a bedroom and they quickly put him in the bed as the two leave the room, leaving the 3rd one in the room to take care of Lucan as the remaining 3 sit in a sitting room as Jerek is facing the two when Pellum comes in with a tray full of tea and biscuits.)
Jerek: "So what brings you to the capitol?"
Ryota: "As you know Lady Kiyomi is the diplomat from the Land of the Glowing Sun here to talk peace between our two countries."
Jerek: "Oh yeah, I forgot about the war. Not to be insensitive I just have a lot of duties as a guild captain."
Kiyomi: "I understand, any good king would make his people not aware of a war that is actively going on, but I hope to put this to an end because of my foolish uncle this all started in the first place. What I do not understand is who wants me dead."
Jerek: "Someone in the shadows, probably a criminal that is profiting from the war; there is sadly many evil men that are using it as a cover to do far more crime."
Ryota: "Those two Mages were very dangerous, I fought them and I struggled even against them not training. If Not for Lucan we would both be dead right now and even then he barely beat them."
Jerek: "It seems the expelled their Mana and he was able to over power them I would assume, I had a run in with The Drayke brothers in my time and they were a very ferocious duo; so much power."
(Ryota had Lucan's sword sitting on his lap as he worried for his friend and Jerek could see the nervousness on his face.)

Jerek: "Do not worry, if you saw Gwenlyn he will be just fine. There isn't a finer healer in these lands."
Ryota: "I understand and appreciate you all; maybe I will go check on him."
Kiyomi: "You stay and talk with this kind man, I shall go check on him; I am the reason he is like this after all." (Kiyomi got up and walked out as Pellum escorted her to the room where Lucan was resting as he opened the door and she walked in and stared at him laying there unconscious for a bit before she sat in the chair in the corner and pondered.)
Ryota: "Do you believe that your king will agree to our peace talks and finally settle this war?"
Jerek: "Kind of a major topic change, but I do believe that the king will be open to them; he's a very just man. Really you should be thanking his council and advisor."
Ryota: "Why would I thank the men who probably decided to go to war against my country for something that was a complete misunderstanding, countless of my people have died because of this war."
Jerek: "You should be thanking them because he wanted to go and completely wipe you all off the face of the planet by himself, and before you say that's not possible; it very much is." (Jerek had leaned forward while saying this to him as Ryota had a horrified look on his face and noticed the sun going down behind the man.)
Ryota: "If you do not mind, I am very tired from everything that has gone on today; would you mind if I could go and rest in my room?"
Jerek: "Of course, Pellum take this man to the other guest room."
Pellum: "As you wish sir."

(Ryota got up as he followed Pellum down the hall and up the main stairs as Pellum took a left and they arrived at a door that he opens and gestures for Ryota to enter. Ryota stepped in as he came into a medium sized room that was far nicer then the entire home that him and Kiyomi were staying in before.)
Ryota (Thinking): "How powerful is this King for him to be confident enough to say he was going to wipe an entire country off the face of the planet." (Ryota pondered as he took off his sword and placed it on a dresser before undressing and slowly retiring under the covers to avoid the chill before he slowly started to fall asleep as he still pondered just the amount of power it would take for one to be that confident.)

Kiyomi (Thinking): "I hope Lucan is going to be alright, he really took a lot of damage; I should of listened to Ryota when he told me to run, but I couldn't help but to stick around and watch out of fear for them..." (Kiyomi was sitting in the chair looking at Lucan as she slowly began to also drift off to sleep while sitting there as her exhaustion started to finally catch up to her.)

Lucan: "I just don't get it, you have to explain it to me again; you're telling me since I signed a deal with you to be one of your disciples that you can voluntarily swap bodies with me?"
Rulthagar: "Precisely! I do not want my very few disciples dying, so as they start out I will help them live; once you get the grasp on this world and yourself I will stop to help you so do not get use to it."

Lucan: "Then why can't I wake up? My body is just laying there, I understand I was severely injured but I should of bounced back by now."
Rulthagar: "Oh you wish to wake up? I can do that." (Rulthagar and Lucan were talking in limbo again as he explained to Lucan what he had done to help him and after Lucan asks to awake once again, Rulthagar flicks him in the forehead and suddenly Lucan is awake as he quickly shoots up in defense, not remembering a thing that had happened as he leaps out of bed and stumbles knocking into the night stand and making a glass pitcher of water fall and shatter on the ground as he looked around and spotted Kiyomi who had awoken from the commotion.)

Lucan: "Kiyomi? Where are we and why are you sitting in my room? The last thing I remember is being crushed by that gigantic meteor that Ignis Drayke made." (Kiyomi turned away blushing as she avoided looking at him before Lucan looked down and realized that he had no clothes on before he quickly covered himself up with a pillow.)
Lucan: "I apologize, I do not know why I am naked; sorry that you had to see that."
Kiyomi: "Don't worry about it, I understand you're confusion as this is a different place. We are in the capitol and in the home of a man who stepped in and helped Ryota and Myself against some Assassins, and I am in your room because I was worried for your wellbeing."

(Ryota came barging through the door as he heard the commotion and when he saw the naked Lucan and Kiyomi he looked back and forth between them and slowly closed the door once again.)
Ryota: "Uh... My apologies."
Lucan: "Its not what it seems! I swear nothing is going on right now!"
Kiyomi: "I believe I will see myself out." (Kiyomi got up and opened the door as she disappeared towards a different room as Lucan sat on the bed and looked around for his clothes with very little success as he grabbed the bed covers and wrapped it around his waist and stepped out into the hall as he made his way around the massive home until he found a servant.)
Lucan: "Excuse me Ma'am have you seen my clothes?"
Servant: "Uh, yeah they were tattered and pretty much just clothes so the master fetched for them to be replaced with identical ones; they are just over here one second." (The Servant looking at Lucan oddly walked over and opened a cupboard pulling out neatly folded clothes and handed them to Lucan.)
Lucan: "Thank you very much, one more question; have you seen my sword? It is very precious to me."
Servant: "Yeah the Master had it sent to the Blacksmith to be polished and checked for damage, his shop is just down the road actually."
Lucan: "Thank you so much, I truly appreciate it."
(Lucan walked off until he knew he was alone and quickly got dressed as he threw on his new cloak and walked out of the door as the chill of the snowy weather and the night hit him in the face and quickly woke him up some more and he set out towards the little section of shops.)

Lucan (Thinking): "I hope that this blacksmith is open, it is quite early."
(Lucan arrived at a building with a sign hanging outside that designates it as a blacksmiths forge and he looks in a window and sees the forge active and proceeds inside as he looks around and shivers a little bit coming out of the cold as he looks around at all the weapons lining the walls before someone said something and grabbed his attention.)
???: "Welcome to my shop lad! What can the Great Smith Volker Ironclad do for ya!"
Lucan: "You have some find things in this shop sir, you're a talented smith but I am not here to buy anything."
Volker: "Then why the early visit lad?"
Lucan: "I was told that a guy had a sword brought here to be checked and polished and I've come to retrieve it."
Volker: "Oh right.... Yeah it is one fine blade; except that its not yours so get out before I kill ya." (Lucan looked at him confused and disbelief.)
Lucan: "It is my blade sword I can promise that; I am not thief."
Volker: "You seem like a good lad, but that's simply just looks; this blade is not yours and I know that for a fact because I Made it."

(Lucan looked at the Blacksmith in disbelief as he was shocked to hear that this man had made the sword that he carries; he had no idea as the smith put the sword on the counter.)
Volker: "This here Sword was commissioned for a sword master; Ser Gideon Vance The Iron Oak. A formidable and great Knight that was once stationed here, when he was he commissioned me to make this sword from him. It's forged from the greatest Nihilium I could find as well as being adorned with gold and a ruby that he gave me from his own family to incorporate."
Lucan: "Allow me to explain, Gideon Vance is my father; He died many years ago when I was young and he gave me his sword before he passed and I cherish this thing with my life. I am Lucan Vance Son of Gideon and Rebecca Vance."
Volker: " Hmmmm, now that you say it you resemble him quite a lot; how'd the man die lad?"
Lucan: "He and my Mother were slain in an attack on our village done by demon like creatures; excuse me I was fairly young and it is traumatic so anything past that I cannot tell you."
Volker: "I'm sorry about your parents lad, your father was a great man and an even better knight; take the sword and give me one second."

(Volker disappeared behind a curtain into his forge for a few minutes as he emerged later with a bundle in his hands and placed it on the counter slowly undoing the knots revealing an ornate set of black armor with a Chest plate, two gauntlets, thigh armor and shin guards that match the sword.)

Volker: "Many years when your father last had me fix up his blade and sharpen it; he told me he was getting married and leaving the way of the knight behind and told me to repurpose his armor as he would never need it again. With all my heart I couldn't so I put it in storage for maybe the day he asks or something, I'm not sure lad but I would like for you to have it as no one better could ever be the second owner of these."
Lucan: "Mr. Ironclad I can't put into words my gratitude for this, My father would of loved to see you one more time before he died, I do remember him telling me about an old drinking buddy from his time as a knight and I believe that was you."
Volker: "Call me Volker lad! And yeah me and your old man were lively in our time, come on over here and we'll get you sorted with this armor on."

(Lucan took off his cloak and his leather armor and gloves as Volker put the chest plate over his head and strapped it on and connected it the back plate as he slide on the gauntlets and fastened the thigh guards to his legs and finally put the shin guards over his boots as Lucan put his cloak back on completing the look as Volker stepped back and looked at him.)
Volker: "Fits you well lad, I was a little worried as you are slightly larger then he was back then."
Lucan: "Again Volker, I can't thank you enough; I would love to stick around but I got a job to do."
Volker: "Of course lad, don't forget to come back some time and I'll tell you some stories of me and your old man, and if you ever need anything just send me a letter or come see me and I'll sort it out." (Lucan opened the door as he waved to the blacksmith and stepped out and stepped towards the direction he came as he looks down at the armor and slowly starts making his way back.)

???: "WATCH OUT!" (Lucan stopped and looked up the hill as he heard screaming and quickly saw a run away whiskey barrel as a short and stout man was chasing after it.)
???: "GET OUT OF THE WAY SON! THAT THING WILL CRUSH YOU, IT WAYS 550 LBS!"
(Lucan turned towards the runaway barrel as he stopped it with his foot and the man huffing and puffing was bent over trying to catch his breath.)
???: "My gosh I can't believe you were able to stop it so effortlessly, thank you son; the names Lorcan O'Broin, master brewer."
Lucan: "No problem sir, you seemed like you needed help so I just simply stepped in and helped."

Lorcan: "Let me go get my apprentices and we'll get this barrel back up the hill."
Lucan: "No need." (Lucan gripped the edge of the barrel and effortlessly hoisted it onto his shoulder as Lorcan stared at him in disbelief before slowly turning around as he kept glancing at Lucan before slowly making his way up the hill.)
Lorcan: "So what brings you to the capitol of The Whispering Woods? I've never seen you around lad so you aren't from around here."
Lucan: "I'm here for work as an escort of a foreign diplomat."
Lorcan: "Fancy, is that what allowed you to afford such fine armor and a blade?"
Lucan: "Not quite, these are just because I'm lucky."
Lorcan: "Well I'd say, you were there when I needed ya the most; how much luckier can one get?" (They arrived at the wagon that the barrel fell from as Lorcan leans against it and Lucan tosses the barrel on the top of the stack and walks around to face Lorcan.0

Lorcan: "Again thank ya lad, I am in your debt; come by my bar here sometime in the future when I'm not in a hurry and It'll be drinks on the house."
Lucan: "Appreciate it sir, that's generous of you."
Lorcan: "Here take this, I have to get going now; hopefully I'll see ya around." (Lorcan handed Lucan a jug of whiskey as he climbed up into the drivers seat of the wagon and started the horses on their way as he waved at Lucan and disappeared down the road.)

Lucan: "Odd guy..." (Lucan turned and continued in the direction he was heading toward the noble mans house as he was looking around at the many amazing homes and their architecture and as he was zoning out and looking around he bumped into someone and quickly looked up to see a Royal looking man with short dark blonde hair.)
Lucan: "Oh sorry, please forgive me I was zoning out, I just can't get enough of the architecture here."
???: "Great isn't it? Do not worry about it, you did not mean to do it and that is evident. There is something about you that, more to you....?"

(The Man started rubbing his chin as slowly walked around Lucan and lifted his arms and looked at his face as Lucan was confused and slightly uncomfortable as the man stopped his searching and looked as if he came up with the answer on his face as he spoke.)
???: "Yes, you have magic."
Lucan: "I don't mean to be rude sir, But I don't have magic; I was born without any ability to use it."
???: "No, you have magic someone just decided to stop you from using it." (The man made a couple hand signs as he then struck Lucan in the chest as a jolt of electricity went through his body and he started to jolt and the breath was knocked out of him as he struggled to breath.)
???: "That should do it, enjoy your new found power."

(The Man waved as he walked on and Lucan struggled to look at him as he saw a leather thing on his hip with a book in it and figured out he was a mage as Lucan tried to say something and failed due to lack of airs in his lungs the man disappeared out of sight.)
Lucan (Thinking): "What in the world did he do to me, I feel so warm and yet I am in such pain from what he did." (Lucan slowly gained his ability to breath back as he straightened his back and continued on his walk as he came to the home and awkwardly slipped back in as he came face to face with the man he assumed owned the home.)

Jerek: "Having an Early morning walk are you?"
Lucan: "Hello sir, I'm Lucan and its a pleasure to meet you; I went to go fetch my sword from the blacksmith that you sent it too to have it polished."
Jerk: "I'm Jerek Cauter, no need to be so formal you are a guest in my house; please enjoy your stay. I'd love to stay and talk but I must be getting going to a meeting; your friends left earlier as they have a meeting with The King, you may be able to catch them it wasn't too long ago."
Lucan: "Thank you for telling me sir; if you excuse me I must be going."
(They both stepped out the door and started in separate directions as Lucan knew where the main building of this capitols royal quarters was as he made haste to catch up to them slightly jogging.)

???: "You're always in a rush; you never stop to smell the roses." (Lucan skidded to a stop as he looked around in confusion as he heard a voice.)
Lucan: "Who said that? Hello?"
???: "YOU CAN HEAR ME? BY THE GODS ITS A MIRACLE; I'VE BEEN TALKING SINCE YOUR LOUSY SELF PICKED ME UP."
(Lucan looked around in confusion as he had no idea where the voice was coming from.)
???: "Down here you big oaf, on your waist; you can't really miss me."
Lucan: "I must be going crazy, there is no way my sword is talking to me right now."
???: "Well get over it because its happening right now, The Name's Xylos they use to call me The Shadow of The World. I guess I was evil till your father liberated me and I became his sword till his very end and then YOU STUFFED ME IN A HOLE IN THE WALL AND THEN NEGLECTED TO SPEAK TO ME!"
Lucan: "I could never hear you, I swear I don't know why but everything is changing since that noble man knocked the wind out of me; I feel faster and stronger and now my sword is speaking to me!"
Xylos: "It would seem he awakened your Magic power, it must of been sealed and dormant which would explain why you couldn't hear me; alright you get off this time, but next time I'll kill you myself."
Lucan: "Very reassuring, I'm supposed to trust you as my sword and you go and tell me you'll kill me if I don't?"
Xylos: "Pretty Much."
(Lucan despite being confused kept running as he spoke to Xylos and he eventually saw Kiyomi and Ryota in sight as they were about to enter the capitols diplomatic building as Lucan quickly realized that he underestimated how quick he was going as he blew past them and crashed through the gigantic doors of the building.)

Kiyomi: "Was that Lucan?"
Ryota: "Uh.... I believe it was."
Guard: "WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU DOING YOU FOOL? THIS IS A SECURE BUILDING AND YOU JUST ATTEMPTED TO BREAK THROUGH IT!" (All the Guards pointed their spears at Lucan as he waved his hands frantically.)
Lucan: "NO NO, I DIDN'T MEAN TOO I WAS JUST GOING TOO FAST; I WAS ATTEMPTING TO CATCH UP WITH THEM AND I FORGOT TO SLOW DOWN IN TIME."
Guard: "SILENCE, YOU WILL BE ARRESTED AND TRIED-"
???: "That's enough; him and his companions are guests here and I will not take the treatment you are giving them."
Guards: "Your majesty, please forgive me for my haste; I was just trying to do my job." (All the guards placed their spears on the ground as they kneeled to the man that was standing at the entrance to the building and Lucan looked up in shock.)
Lucan: "YOU! YOU'RE THE GUY THAT HIT ME EARLY, YOU'RE THE KING?"
???: "That's me, apologies for that early I was just trying to help; I am William Viventus The King of Eldoria; please Kiyomi of the Land of the Glowing Sun, come and we shall talk peace."

(Kiyomi followed The King as Ryota and Lucan followed behind her as he opened the door to his office for her as Lucan gestured for Ryota to be the one to follow her in as Lucan decided to stand watch outside the door and Ryota nodded to him as the door closed behind them and Lucan stood with his arms cross leaning against the wall.)

Lucan (Thinking): "I didn't know that man was the King, how in the world did I manage to run into the king and it go well?"
Xylos: "Because you're an idiot; you type of people tend to have stupid luck."
Lucan: "Did anyone ask you? I don't even know if I should trust you or just wrap you up and keep you in a sack."
Xylos: "Its not like you can properly use me anyway; that might be a better fate."
Lucan: "Very funny, I haven't been trained to use a sword; so sorry but you're stuck with me."
Xylos: "Unless you die and someone else takes me, I'll just wish for it till it becomes true."
Lucan: "Are you even on my side?"

(Everyone was standing at attention all along the long hall as Lucan looked down the hall and noticed a group of individuals walking his way as he quickly straightened up to look more professional as he then recognized one of them to be Jerek Cauter before a Blonde Haired fairly young woman broke from the group and approached him.)
Gwenlyn Spellvine: "I see you are up and about; its good to see you looking better."
Lucan: "I don't mean to be rude.... but do I know you?"
Gwenlyn: "Oh... Well I guess not; I was the woman that healed you when your friends brought you into my guild hall, You were in a bad way."
Lucan: "If that is the case then I am in debt to you and I greatly appreciate it."
Gwenlyn: "No no, I am a healer that is what I do; What kind of healer would I be if I didn't help a nearly dead man?" (Lucan looked over her as he quickly realized they had all stopped now and he got increasingly nervous.)

Gareth Sterling | Captain of Midnight Sigil |: "Who is this man Gwenlyn and how do you know him? Because if he's not permitted to be here then he shall be taken care of at this moment."
Gwenlyn: "Calm down old man, He's a body guard of the foreign diplomat that's currently in the meeting with King Viventus and he is just standing guard; this guy was nearly dead and I had to heal him."
Edric Stonehand | Captain of Warden's Keep |: "What's your name boy?"
Lucan: "I am Lucan Vance."
Gareth: "Vance? Where have I heard that name before?"
(A younger woman stepped up with straight black hair and an all black outfit to stand next to the Tall older man with long white hair and a handlebar mustache as she asked a question.)
Vera Sterling | Captain of Sable Basilisk|: "I can't but help to recognize you from somewhere; you look quite familiar, were you further down south a couple days ago?"
Lucan: "I was, in all honesty I have no clue how I got here; I had fought two assassins and next thing I knew I was waking up in a unknown place and a few hours later I found myself here."
Vera: "Yes you are him, you're the man that bested The Black Fang Kael Veynar in battle. He was revealed to have been illegally moving slaves to a nearby country to make money and you killed him."
Lucan: "That's me, although I am not sure how you found out about that."

Vera: "The woman you were with was not as quiet as you; she was talking very loudly in bars all across the town about how you effortlessly killed a Knight Marshal in battle."
Lucan: "Oh right, that explains it; am I going to get in trouble for that?"
Gareth: "Why would you be punished for slaying a wrong doer? Although I find it hard to believe that someone such as yourself could best The Black Fang in battle." (Gareth walked off as the rest of the Captains stayed looking at Lucan before a tall and lanky man with dark blonde hair stepped forward and summoned a magic screen in front of him and typed in his name.)
Alistair Finch | Captain of Runic Sentinel |: "Oh.... I see how you'd be able to best The Black Fang; Lucan Vance Son of Gideon Vance." (As Alistair said this everyone would gasp as they looked around and then a deep belly laugh was heard from down the hall as a gigantic man made his way towards them.)

Major Magnus Beaumont | Captain of the Gilded Chain |: "Hello my fellow captains! How is everyone on this beautiful morning."
Rennick Vesper | Captain of Vermillion Griffin |: "Magnus you are far too loud for such a professional atmosphere; but yes you are right it is quite a beautiful morning."
Magnus: "Who's the random guy?" (Magnus gestured towards Lucan as he walked up and looked down at him and was sizing him up.)
Rennick: "His name is Lucan Vance; he's one of the guards of the Foreign Diplomat."
(Magnus stepped back and charged Lucan as Lucan quickly raised his hands and caught the double punch that the man was going for and struggled to push him back thinking that his was all a sick joke before Magnus grabbed him by the head and slowly started squeezing the life from him as he quickly realized this was no longer a joke.)
Edric: "That's enough Magnus; let the boy go before you truly kill him."
Magnus: "If this boy wishes to harbor such monsters and truly assist them then I will snuff his fire out and rid the world of scum."

(Lucan started to Panic as he could no longer breath and Magnus's words were serious as instead of struggling he thought it through and quickly grabbed Magnus by his belt as Magnus's eyes widened and Lucan used every drop of strength left in his almost unconscious body to perform a shoulder toss on Magnus as he went flying crashing into a pillar as Lucan collapsed to his knees gasping for air as the other captains were in shock.)

Rennick: "He certainly is the son of Gideon; there's no doubt about it." (Magnus got up and slowly dusted himself off as he approached Lucan on his knees still catching his breath before picking him up and looking in his face before belting a loud laugh and clasping his arm around his shoulder.)
Magnus: "I'VE NEVER BEEN TOSSED LIKE THAT BEFORE! I LIKE YOU LUCAN VANCE; IF YOU EVER NEED ANYTHING YOU COME AND SEE YOUR GOOD FRIEND MAGNUS!"
Lucan (Thinking): "This guy was just trying to kill me and now he's acting like my best friend and saying to come to him if I need anything? All these people are insane."
Gareth: "Will you idiots stop fooling around and get a move on. Lets get set up so we don't keep the King waiting." (The Captains still looking at Lucan slowly walk away as they file into a room down the hall and eventually every single one of them disappears inside as Lucan resumes his guarding of the door.)

(After another hour of waiting the door to the room opened and out came The King followed by Kiyomi and Ryota as they looked happy and pleasant as the King excuses himself and heads down the hall just a ways and enters the room that the captains went into previously as Kiyomi and Ryota turned after he left and faced Lucan.)
Lucan: "So how did it go?"
Kiyomi: "Peace Negotiations were successful; the war is over."
Lucan: "That's great! You did amazing Kiyomi."
Ryota: "She did, I didn't even speak once in this negotiations, to be honest they were done in the first 10 minutes; the King just kept asking questions."
Kiyomi: "Lets go get something to eat and talk there." (The trio slowly made their way out of the building as they made their way down the road as it was now Snowing and they spotted a warm lighted restaurant as they slowly approached it and walked in; sitting down in a private room they ordered lots of food and began to eat.)

Ryota: "Kiyomi you need to tell him and stop dragging it along." (Lucan looked up from eating as he swallowed what was in his mouth and cleared his throat as Kiyomi regretfully put down her fork and sighed.)
Kiyomi: "Lucan, we are very grateful for everything you have done and despite our journey being so short despite what we said, this will be our final meal today. The King has set up a boat for us this afternoon back to our homeland and this will be it."
Lucan: "That's Fantastic! You expect me to be upset that its over? I enjoy your guys company and all but I was hired to get you here for the meeting and get you home and I will complete that; I had a feeling this was coming and its not like you were going to stay in this country forever."
Kiyomi: "We appreciate everything you have done for us and this is your payment for helping us." (Kiyomi put a fairly large sack of gold on the table in front of Lucan as he eyed it and couldn't believe it.)

Lucan: "No, this is far too much; I barely did anything."
Kiyomi: "Lucan you nearly died for us; and its not negotiable. This is your payment and that is final; I will take it as an insult if you refuse again." (Ryota smiling as Lucan reluctantly picked up the sack and retired it into his pocket as they finished up their meal and he escorted them back to Jerek's house to collect their things and a carriage took them to the docks as the workers loaded everything.)
Lucan: "It was truly great to work with you guys and I got to learn a lot about foreign countries and even how to live again; I can't thank you two enough."
Ryota: "Do not stop being yourself Lucan, you are a great man and even greater warrior and you have a bright future ahead of you." (Ryota turned and walked onto the boat as Kiyomi twirled her fingers and hesitated to say anything as Lucan understood as he started to turn as Kiyomi ran up and kissed him on the cheek and started to walk away.)
Kiyomi: "Thank you Lucan, truly you are a great man!"

(Kiyomi joined Ryota leaving Lucan in shock as the boat then started to set off and he waved to them until they were no longer seeable as he turned and looked at the big town contemplating what to do next.)
