The Arks - Chapter 396

“It doesn’t have to be a major mission, right?”

“It doesn’t need to be. It’s just that I’ve never been on admission with her. The Headmaster just doesn’t allow it because I’m dangerous out of the Six Familiars but I beg to differ.”

Bryan raised his eyebrow and folded his arms. After all, this young man was the only one who knew about Tomoe’s origins without anyone telling him.

“Fine, I’ll let you come along,” said Tomoe, sticking out his hand.

“You’ve got a deal,” replied Bryan, shaking Tomoe’s hand.

“I think I like working with you.”

“Watch your words, they might come to bite you in the tail.”

They then turned their attention back to Mavislin and the creature.

“Aren’t you a naughty one?” asked Mavislin, uncoiling the tail of the creature.

“I didn’t say anything about liking the creature! I’m just shocked that Mavislin would have a Cetus, I thought probably a Pegasus would fit her…” reasoned Ysabeau, stepping away.

Mavislin released the creature and it looked around the room. Finding an open space beside Fluffy, Ciel transformed into his ȧduŀt form, stretching his limbs out in the process. Fluffy looked confused at first but was happy that she found another friend.

The two titled their heads as they stared at each other. Ciel held up a front limb to wave at Fluffy. She waved her wing in response. Rina felt lost while Mavislin laughed.

“Pegasus is with the Wind Element, that’s not my main Element. And it is not my Ancient Relic’s Element either. Thus, Cetus should be the best option for me. And it was on a whim when I called upon it. Gillian said had a slight percentage of working so I did not expect him to pop out.”

“Well, that works as well…” replied Ysabeau, getting on Fluffy.

“Let’s get a move on, I’m dying for dinner now,” said Ysabeau.

Mavislin patted Cetus once more before asking Bryan to hop onto Ciel. The man did it quickly and with the two juniors on the beasts’ backs, Mavislin gestured Ciel to go on first.

“Wait, are you planning to stay here?” asked Ysabeau, after Ciel left.

“Yes, there are some things I need to clear up. You mind helping me with that, Tomoe and Raiyen?” asked Mavislin, turning to the two.

“Sure,” chimed the both.

“Alright then, be back soon. I don’t want you to hang around here too long,” said Ysabeau, leaving.

“Looks like this is the end of a mission. Time to do the usual clean-up. I wished I could save him but he did what we all could not and that was to win by the slow method. I’ll be sure to give the passing you want, Gabriel Tuazon,” said Mavislinb, sadly.

“And Gab, you are the reason why we managed to save all those children and women. If it hadn’t been your call for help to the Arks, we would have been too late. Though cost your life, know that you saved many others. You may rest in peace, my friend. I will take care of Charisma and Kai.”

“You did what you were aiming for but it’s sad to see you leave so soon. You saved her and I will honor that to the very end. I will protect her as well. This nightmare is finally over! Mission has been accomplished!” bellowed Mavislin, with the tips of her fingers glowing.

“Received, loud and clear, Leader Of The Barren Pillars. Mavislin Roydon, you may leave the premise,” replied Gillian from the comfort of the Old Chapel.

The Headmaster smiled as he closed the book on Gabriel Tuazon’s life. It was truly a sad sight to go but it should be praised. His passing was not for naught. Gillian smiled as he took the book and placed it on the bookshelf that held the memories of the Five Kings.

Beside Yan and Gab’s Family, underneath Minwoo and Ashley’s journals. But Ashley’s journal was slightly thicker than he remembered, most probably because of what happened when he faced off Benjamin. Gillian thought nothing and continued to look after the rascals.

“Hi honey, I’m home,” said a familiar voice.

Gillian whipped around with two kids on each arm.

“I swear, I wasn’t stuffing them into the bookshelves,” was the only thing Gillian could come up with after looking at his wife.

“I thought you were going to turn them into new bookshelves,” laughed Ysabeau going towards her husband.

Gillian gently placed the kids on the floor and embraced his wife.

“Welcome home.”

Back at Albion, Raiyen and Tomoe looked at Mavislin. Raiyen knew that Gab’s death was going to be hard on Mavislin but she seemed quite fine.

“You alright, Mav?” asked Tomoe, though Raiyen wanted to ask first.

“Yea, sorry.. I just needed to report back to Gillian.”
