Chapter 15: Flare

P.O.V. [Name]

I looked at the two figures in front of me and Blaze smiled. "Glad to see you're feeling better. [Name] I'm sure you remember my younger sister Flare right?" He asked looking at me.

"Y-yeah of course," I said looking at him. I was a bit shocked to see Flare here. After all not many people are allowed on the island that aren't slayers.

"And I would assume that you remember [Name] right? I know it's been a while but he used to come visit all the time," Blaze said looking at her.

"Yeah I remember him," she said looking at me.

"So Flare hope you don't mind me asking but what are you doing here?" I asked looking at her. It had been so long since I last seen her.

"Well she took the exam to get into Star Shade and she passed. I tried to talk her out of it but she wouldn't listen," Blaze said looking at me.

"Oh I see, well it's nice to have you here," I said looking at her.

"Yeah, admittedly we didn't have much after the attack but we made do with what we had. I was hoping that she wouldn't want to join Star Shade. Guess it was pointless to hope for that," Blaze said looking at me. 

"Well, now you know where I live, I hope that you'll come and find me if you need help with anything," Blaze said looking at the younger female in front of him. 

"Of course," She said looking at him. When she said this she looked at me and smiled. "I also hope that we'll be able to get together and catch up soon," She said looking at me. 

"Yeah, of course," I said looking at her. When I said this she smiled and walked out of the door. The room was quite for a few moments before Blaze looked at me with a sightly serious face. 

"[Name], Flare, doesn't know that Shimo is the demon from before, the one that destroyed our town. She also doesn't know that he's on the island. I'd like to keep her from finding out. I don't want him to hurt her . . . she's the only family I have left . . . If I lost her-" Blaze began, I stopped him and looked at him. 

"I know, it's okay, I know what Flare's capable of and with Shimo and the other demon still on the lose then we can't be to careful," I said looking at him. Blaze smiled hearing this and began to walk away. 

I watched as he walked away and sighed. I then looked out the window and saw that it wasn't that late. I then walked outside seeing this and began to walk down the streets.

I can't believe that Flare made it into Star Shade. She used to be so timid that she could barely speak to anyone. Then again I guess relying on Blaze changed that.

I actually can't believe I didn't recognize her sooner. Long red hair one red eye and one yellow eye. I've never met anyone else with eyes like hers. 

I continued to walk down the street until I ran into someone. "So you survived the attack to," I heard a familiar female voice say looking at me. When I looked up I saw one of the teachers looking at me.

"Ah Ms. Aki sorry I was a little distracted," I said looking at her.

"It's fine, I was worried that you may have been one of the few the fell in battle a few days ago," She said looking at me.

"Yeah, I almost died," I said looking at her.

"So I've heard, I was afraid that maybe Blaze was just in denial about your death. Glad to see that I was wrong," She said looking at me.

"Yeah but those two demons are something else. If that's what we're going to be up against when we go to the demon world then I'll have to step up my training," I said looking at her.

"Training alone isn't going to be enough not against them at least," Aki said looking at me.

"What do you mean?" I asked looking at her.

"I had heard that one of them was a member of the royal guard. That title isn't given to just anyone. It's a title among the demons given to the strongest and have been seen as strong enough to serve under the demon prince. Chances are if one of them is a member of the royal guard then the other two aren't exactly push overs," She said looking at me.

"I see, has anyone ever defeated one?" I asked looking at her.

"Yes, the head administrator managed to defeat one a long time ago," Aki said looking at me.

"Do you know where he is now?" I asked looking at her. She looked at me for a second before she sighed.

"I'd imagine that he's helping rebuild what was destroyed during the attack. Now that you know that I just ask that you don't do anything stupid," She said looking at me.

I smiled hearing this and began to walk away. There's only so many places he can be if he's helping with construction.

P.O.V. Shimo

I watched as Inkosi filled King's head with more lies. He's pretty good at getting what he wants. He's more calculated than most he's also calm and careful so that he doesn't make mistakes.

King was complaining about headaches, not surprised he's lost and his mind is trying to find the truth. To help keep him from this Inkosi offered to try and "heal" him.

All he's doing is creating more mental blocks and lies for him to watch. When Inkosi was done he moved his hands away from King's head. "How's that?" Inkosi asked looking at him.

"It's better, still hurts, but not as much," King said looking at the male. When he said this he got up and began to walk outside.

"I'm going to look for any stray slayers," King said walking out of the cave.

"You know he manages to break himself of being lost he's gonna really pissed," I said looking at him.

"The chances of that happening now are far beyond anyone's comprehension. I highly doubt any human will be able to break my illusions and then proceed to set him free from his lost state," Inkosi said looking at me.

I signed hearing this and looked out the cave. "Demons that are lost are more unpredictable and tend to be more violent. What if he attacks us?" I asked looking at him.

"Then we'll kill him, that's what we were sent here to do after all," Inkosi said looking at us.

"Just how do you propose we do that?" I ask looking at him.

"He hasn't had one peaceful night of sleep since he came with us. I've been seeing to that. My illusions aren't just physical they can haunt him in his dreams as well. He must be very tired and as result very weak. If he turns on us then it shouldn't be very hard for you to cut him down," he said looking at me.

I nodded hearing this and looked at him. "So when do you want to attack Star Shade again?" I asked looking at him.

"Let's give him a few more days. He'll be mentally exhausted by then and after the battle he'll be physically drained. Attack him then and there's no way you'll lose to him," he said looking at me.

Just a few more days and then we'll return to the demon world. He also wants me to kill King ensuring that I will get some credit. Then I'll be free of his presence. Waiting a few days shouldn't be that hard.
