Chapter 14 - LUX

You know, you're just like Dante, obsessed with power and going an extra mile for it.

"Of course..., that makes sense; he's just like me. He'll do anything for power," Umm.. Harry, what would have happened if I didn't control my powers or get strong in those 3 months?

You would have gotten kicked out.

(The boy seemed a bit frightened by this, but the boy expected it as such. When they arrived, they landed near the city swamp.)

(Squelch)

Don't walk off, stop, kid!

What Harry?

Do you see those tiny green veins? It's a kapre, and they're very tricky to notice. So be careful, and let's look for clues.

(He and Ruven sought out clues of his whereabouts; they soon discovered remnants of a battle.)

Hey, is this a kepre? It looks like it got a beatdown; it's not even on its stamp.

The claw marks on the other trees and this burnt track.

It's him! I know this fighting style well. Come on, let's go.

(The boy was puzzled how he had known that, and when they had entered Kesnor, it was filled with merchants and buyers.)

(Clinking)

You're trying to rob me, old man! 50 gold is too much

Dragon blood for 7 gold, how generous.

WOAH! I've never seen people rip each other to buy something.

(Ruven asked the buyers a question if they had seen Lux, and repeatedly asked each buyer, but received no answer.)

I knew this would have been difficult, but not this difficult.

Don't give up. Let's ask this blacksmith, have you seen this kid?

(Rustle)

The Blackhounds!? He was here on Wednesday.

(Harry asked where the child had gone, and told him that he had gone to the Caravan. After this information was told, they rested near the food district. )

 Why didn't you show that from the start-

Hey, you two, stop your senseless fighting with your friend.

He took what wasn't his, and he won't give it back!

You said you'll share, but when it was my turn. You didn't share!

(He silenced the boy and told him to pay attention to the mediator of this foolish squabble. He signaled to him, " That's his target".)

So that's him.

(Whoosh)

(Swish)

Why do such a thing! Could you have halted your attack?

That doesn't matter, Lux the deserter, the emperor sent me.

(Ruven dashed at him again to slash him, but he evaded and attempted to strike with a side kick. He swiftly blocked his strike.)

BLOOD PELLET!

(Rat-a-tat)

"You're kidding! What a fast."

(Ruven expected Lux's next to be at his shoulder as he struck him. He felt it pass him, but he suddenly felt a presence at his side.)

(Crash)

Arghhh

"How did he do that? I need to think of a way to beat that speed. The pellet could have worked if I had tried that."

(Lux approached the destroyed tavern, picked him up, and threw him nearby. Ruven swiftly recovers from it.)

 I guess I don't have a choice. BLOOD PELLET REVERB!

(Whoosh)

What a fool.

combust!

(The slowed bullets exploded on his command and left damaging results. They burned half his arm. He started to shine brightly like the sun, and his appearance began to change.)

Face the blinding light. Luxions!
