Altora: The Chronicles Of The Ren Ky Warriors - Volume 3: Book 3: Dragons And Roses Chapter 128 Junra 18th Dragon

Scarlett growled out of frustration as they stood lost. “Where are we now!?”

Lance sighed as he looked around to see people glancing at them. He could tell they wanted to do harm or worse. If they were given a chance. He turned to see an old woman walking down the alleyway towards them.

“Is there something I could help you with, ma’am?” Lance asked her.

She stopped and looked at the other, and they all turned away as if afraid of the woman. “Yes, there is. I need help with acquiring some of my children from three Faremin soldiers. They are not far.”

Scarlett turned to Lance. “Hold on. How do we know this isn’t a trap? And why should we help you?”

The woman smiled, “I Know it seems suspicious, but if you help me, I can help you. I came to you seeing as I know what you two are by those gems.” The woman pointed at Lance’s Ren-Ky jewel.

Lance stared at her before turning to Scarlett. “Let us take her offer? Besides, we need help getting to the southern plaza to meet up with the others?” Lance turned to the woman who nodded.

The woman led the way with lance right beside her. Scarlett sighed heavily before she followed Lance and the woman. She brought them to open the vacant street. Lance stopped Scarlett as she was about to ask why he stopped Scarlett went pale as he saw the three Famemin soldiers. The men snickered as they kick around a young man. Scarlett grew ferrous as she went to jump at them, but Lance pinned her.

“Hold on, Scarlett!” Lance’s voice hoarsened at her. “Look, over there?”

Lance pointed over to a man that looked like Lovell but with black hair. Scarlett stood, stunned man, walked over to the man.

“Where is he?” The black-haired man asked.

The man was sat up by the soldiers. “Ido not know wherewhere he is. Yetyet I know he is in town. But I-Ino waitAHHH!”

The black-haired man stabbed the man. Scarlett turned away as he pulled his blade out.

“Azoth, sir! We acquired reports that Luna and several of the Ren-Ky’s have entered the city!”

Azoth cleaned his blade. “Well then, we shall see if his plan is working? Men, we are heading out!”

Lance gritted his teeth as the woman stared at the men as they left. “No way in hell? Why is Azoth here?”

Scarlett turned to see the young man’s body lying in the street. The woman stood up and looked at her child. “Well. We know now why he is here. Even if you were not able to help them, it would be best if I help you find your friends. This is more than even I would have wished for.”

Lance nodded as he headed to the body. “But first, let us take him out of here and bring him somewhere where he can be buried.”

Lance picked up the young man’s body and walked over to Scarlett and the old woman. The woman nodded as they walked off. Lance followed her with Scarlett trailing behind. The sighed of the young man’s death was a hard reality as she watched Lance place his body in front of his brothers and sisters. They began to weep as they said their goodbyes to him. Lance then took a deep breath and lit his body with green flames.

“It might be my best ability to regular flames, but his ashes will scatter over the city, as they are imbued with wind magic,” Lance explained to the woman.

She smiled as tears ran down her face. “Thank you, now I will show you to the southern plaza. Then take my leave. These children may not be related, but to me, they are my children. And I must protect them as best as I can.” The woman looked at Lance.

Yes, that is true, but even I have a person I consider a brother and lost him to the Faremin.” A tear escaped Lance’s eye as he turned to the woman. “Shall we get going?”

The woman nodded as Scarlett walked with them in silence. The woman guided them to an alleyway. Lance thanked the woman as he walked down the path to the plaza. Scarlett looked back once more before catching up to Lance. They started to enter as they saw everyone coming at the same time. Lance stood stunned at Hunter, muttered something under his breath. Lance then looked up to see a man jump down.

Lance notice he was wearing a wolf mask as the man looked at everyone. “I am glad you were all able to come here, as you have been called here to fulfill your duties as the Ren-Ky warriors, and much more.”
