Part 51: Midnight Battle V Tainted Flower

Seteth flew towards the pillar of light as none of the Dark Mages can cast their spells to hit his Wyvern

A couple of Snipers released their bows at his Wyvern but Seteth either dodged the arrows, deflect the arrows by using his spear or just blocking it with his shield

Jeralt, on the other hand, is charging forward with his group and due to the silence. They have little difficult advancing as many of enemies that they encountered are Dark Mages or use some type of Dark magic

"Don't let them breathe! Their Dark Magic is useless. Continue the advance!" shouted Jeralt as he tosses his javelin at a Dark mage right in the neck killing him

While Seteth swop in with his Wyvern using his spear to kill the snipers

----------------------

Edelgard sighed in relief as the fog slowly disappear into thin air, however, Dimitri noticed something is wrong about Edelgard with her eyes and body manner

Lysithea attempted to cast Hades but it failed "My dark magic...it not working," said Lysithea

Mercedes cast Holy Light within her hand "...It appears that all forms of Dark Magic are...silenced,"

"Yuri!" shouted a voice

Yuri turned towards the voice which came from Constance "Constance, your alive," Yuri smiled

She sighed in relief "Yea, I got rescued thanks to these..." Constance turned to face Hubert, Bernadetta and Dedue "Students," said Constance

Dedue remain stone face "Your Highness are you alright?" Dedue asked

Dimitri nods "I am fine Dedue, but...Edelgard on the other hand," he stared at Edelgard with a concerned look on his face

Hubert frowned at Dimitri "What did you do?"

"Nothing Hubert, it just that...we just got the news that Claude is...gone," Dimitri sighed

"..." Hubert didn't reply while Berandetta just stared in silence not wanting to speak a word 

Edelgard whispered something into The Death Knight ear before he put on his helmet, when onto his mount and advanced. Petra was about to advance alongside the Death Knight but Edelgard stopped her as the slaughter has just begun

Dimitri horse when back to it master as he mounted up and prepared his spear

--------------

Leonie sighed in relief as the fog slowly disappeared "Thank goodness, the fog is finally dying out,"

Lorenz kneeled and cut the ropes on Hapi "Are you alright?" Lorenz asked

Hapi nods "Yea, I knew you were going to rescue me soon or later," Hapi replied

Hilda meanwhile is leaning against her axe who appears to be exhausted

"Hey, Hilda are you doing alright?" Leonie asked with a concerned look on her face

She raised her hand "No...just give me a moment," Hilda groaned as slowly breaths in and out

Leonie rolled her eyes "Whatever, anyways what is your name?"

Hapi replied in a single word "Hapi,"

"Uhh...ok, well can you use a sword, spear, axe, dagger, bow or anything that you use to defend yourself?"

She cast Banshee within her hands "You shouldn't worry about me. I am just a nobody," Hapi replied

----------------

Casper dashed forward as he scatters the enemy skulls by using his gauntlet while Balthus used his fist as his weapon

Linhardt...just stayed back and let them do the dirty work "Strange...it appears that these Dark mages are complete unless under the pillar of light. But why?" Linhardt muttered

---------------

Inside the Deep Underground of Garreg Mach a female Swordmaster, a female Myrmidon, a male Hunter and a male Mage entered through one of the tunnels 

The Swordmaster is a female wielding a Cutlass. She has dark purple hair, Hezul like eye colour is wearing brown leather guard on her right shoulder, a red gambeson that has a black outline while wearing a small cape up to chest height that processes the Twin Imperial Eagle, brown boots made for combat, black gambeson pants, no helmet, has a purple mark near her eye, light tan colour to her skin and her hair is tied back in braid pattern

"Are you sure this is the place?" The Swordmaster asked

"Yea, I am for sure where Lady _________ went. After all, once we discovered the hidden passage...she couldn't wait any longer and when ahead," He shook his head to the ground "She making my life a bit of headache," said the Mage

The Male mage has purple hair, hazel eyes, pale skin, is wearing a black gambeson with a bit of purple on its edges, has a small red cape that has the Imperial Eagle on it and has black boots alongside grey gambeson pants

"Well, I can't blame her Danny. She has been always been interested in doing some adventuring after hearing the stories that mother and father when through," said the female Myrmidon as she shrugs

The Female Myrmidon has light brown hair that isn't tied back. Instead, she just let it flow down to her body. She is wearing red gambeson, black gambeson pants, green eyes, medium-size breast and has light brown skin alongside brown boots

The Swordmaster frowned "Iris, Danny pay attention. We are here to find Lady _________. Not to waste our time chatting,"

Iris nods "Forgive my Mrs, Macneary, I was just stating the horse in the room," said Iris

Danny shook his head "It Lady Petra you..."

Petra raised her hand right in front of Danny "While I am working at Garreg Mach. I am just an instructor. So please, treat me as an instructor or a teacher...not as Lady Petra,"

He bowed "Yes, forgive me L...Mrs, Macneary,"

The Hunter prepares his bow "Hey! We got some company!" he points a bunch of skeletons heading their way

"Skeletons..." Petra stared at the skeletons which are wielding swords, spears or axes alongside a small shield while the student prepare their weapons 

The Hunter has blonde hair that has been tied back while wearing grey gambeson with a light blue outline, dark blue pants, brown boots, light green eyes, pale skin a small dark blue scarf around his neck and is wielding a Longbow "Iris, these skeletons are not the same from our everyday bandit. So please, be careful,"

"I will, Ronnie. Just don't get caught with your pants down," Iris charged forward and swings her Shortsword against the Skeleton wielding an Axe. Hitting it chest while dodging it counter-attack before doing another slash "Dam...these things are tough," said Iris

"I got you covered," said Danny as he cast Blizzard onto the skeleton shattering it bones into tiny pieces

Iris smiled at Danny "Thanks, for the assistance,"

Another Skeleton wielding a spear attempt to hit Iris but got hit by an arrow from Ronnie "Iris!"

"Yea I got it," Iris slash against the skeleton while dodging it spear thrust before slashing once more taking out the skeleton

"Nicely done Iris. Although you still need to improve your sword arm," said Petra as she charged against the skeleton wielding a bronze bow which released it arrow at Petra

However, the arrow flew right over Petra harmless. She then rolled under the skeleton before doing a flip over its head as the Skeleton scatter into tiny pieces, killing the lasts of the skeletons while leaving the students speechless

"What?" Petra asked with a confused look on her face

"That..was awesome!" Iris leaped onto Petra's arms nearly knocking her down "How did you do it? Can you teach me?"

Danny pats Iris on her shoulder "Calm yourself, you nearly tackled your teacher to the ground,"

She backed off from Petra "Sorry, I was just...too excited,"

Petra pats her on the head "It fine, you still have a long way to go in becoming a Swordmaster," said Petra

Iris sighed "I know, I know...I still need to train. You didn't have to tell me that again,"

"Well, I need to make sure that you were paying attention to my...words," Petra walked to the front of the group while the rest stood back 

Ronnie chuckled "Well that was nice of her,"

Danny shook his head "I still don't know how you managed to become her personal especially with your past 'behaviour'," said Danny

"Can you just shut up Danny? I had to work my butt off to become her pupil in the first place. Just because I was adopted into the Royal family doesn't mean I can slack off," said Iris with a frown on her face

"True...speaking of which. Do you know what your real family is?" Ronnie asked

Iris shook her head "Sadly, no. I don't even know who my real family is. It as if they just...disappeared,"

Ronnie stared at Iris with a sorrow look within his eyes "That horrible...you were lucky that you were adopted into the Royal family." he signed "You were lucky unlike me as...My father left my mother from the moment I was born and he never came back...it just makes me wonder why my mother loved him in the first place,"

Danny grew "So, I take it that you don't like your father because he abandoned you?" Danny asked

He nods "Yea, he abandoned us once I was born into this world! So I never got a chance to see my father face even once..." Ronnie sighed "Sometimes I don't even understand how my mother managed to fell in love with...my father,"

"Danny, don't be rude...he must have a reason for disappearing like Iris parents....they must have a reason,"

Ronnie bit his lip as he tightens his fist "But why? Is my father dead? Why did he abandon us!" He shook his head "Sorry...I was just...I just want an answer about my father,"

Iris pats him on the shoulder "No, I understand...I also what answers on why my father and mother abandoned me. But, for now...we still have to save _________,"

Petra looked back at Iris, Ronnie and Danny with a sorrow look within her eyes as they continue into the underground passage until they encountered another group of skeletons and...spiders?

"Watch out for those spiders...their fangs can be poisonous. So if you get hit...even if it just a tiny scratch. Tell me right away," said Petra as she prepares her sword

Iris moved beside Petra "Danny, Ronnie use your range to your advantage. Just stay close to us," said Iris as a Skeleton wielding sword swings its sword at her. This time she fails to dodge

but manages to parry the blow away from her. Allowing Ronnie to release his arrow at the skeleton sword arm before Iris when in to deal the finishing blow

Petra in the meanwhile stabbed a spider within it chest while dodging the Skeleton spear

Another Skeleton released it arrow at Danny but he dodged it by stepping to the side

"You fool...you dare attack me?" Danny asked as he cast Blizzard shattering it bones into tiny pieces

Ronnie smiled at Danny "Alright, my turn," Ronnie pulled back on his bow while he kneeled onto the ground before releasing the arrow right into the Spider head "Bullseye,"

Iris gave a thumbs up at Ronnie"Nice shoot Ronnie." she turned towards the skeleton "Now, it time for you pay!" shouted Iris as she leaps into the air and slashes down onto the spider slicing it in half

Petra stared at Iris as a spider attempted to land it fang into her fresh but instead, it got met by cold steel "Iris, please...as much as you what to look...' cool' with your sword. That move you just did leave a wide opening. Be thankful that we are fighting monsters otherwise you might have died," said Petra

She frowned at her teacher but in the end, Iris nods in agreement as Danny finished off the last of the skeletons with his Blizzard spell

"Alright, that the last of them...hey Iris are you alright?" Danny asked with a concerned look on his face as they sat next to each other while Petra kept an eye out

"Yea, I am fine. It just my teacher teaching," Iris sighed as she sheaths her sword

"I can understand her being harsh. After all, you were a bit...reckless with your swing," said Ronnie

"That...true." Iris stared at Petra who is examing the walls within the dungeon "...I don't know why...I just..." Iris sighed "I just feel some form of connection or bond with...her but why?"

"Maybe it's because you have developed a special bond with your teacher. After all, she was the one who developed your sword arm and..." Danny bit his lip" She saved you from..." he sighed "You're reckless during our first mission against the rebels,"

Iris shook her head "Stop twisting those words, Danny. It was an embarrassment to my family and...my siblings," She then noticed Ronnie in which she just facepalmed herself

"Wait a min...so it's true!" Ronnie stepped towards Iris "You were capt..." Ronnie got cut off by Iris who lowered her hand, drew out her sword and pointed it near his neck

"Don't you dare tell this to anyone else...otherwise I might lose my cool," said Iris as her eyes are filled with anger and hatred

Ronnie raised his hand in the air "...yea, sorry...I shouldn't have asked,"

"Iris! Ronnie! Danny! Breaktime is over...let move on," said Petra while giving a sorrow look at Iris

Iris sheathed her sword again while Danny whispered "It true...Iris got captured during our first mission to subdue some rebels when she got a bit reckless and well..." Danny sighed "She nearly suffered a terrible fate...but thankfully our instructor saved her before...that can happen," into Ronnie's ear while staring at Petra then at Iris

Donnie grew interested with Danny comment and whispered "So that why Iris has been in a foul mood lately after your first real mission, she has always been one of the best sword users within your class and to get herself capture like that...yea I can understand now,"

Danny sighed in relief as he pats him on the shoulder "Good, just don't tell this anyone else. Otherwise, the next thing you will see...might be a sword piercing through your neck,"

"Noted, I just dump that under the bridge," said Ronnie as they continue to explore the underground of Garreg Mach

---------------------

The Death Knight charges forward without any care in the world as he swings his Scythe right flesh and steel "No Mercy," he muttered while chasing after the Dark mages who are attempting to scram into the woods

Edelgard stood back as she watched the Death Knight slaughter her enemies while Petra grew concerned "Lady Edelgard...did you know about the Death Knight?" Petra asked

She nods in reply "Yea, I was planning to make him turncoat against TWSITD during the Battle within the mountains but...he wasn't even there. So, I thought he already died...until now," said Edelgard

Petra grew concerned as she tightened the grip of her sword "So...are we just going to make use of that...monster?" 

Dimitri ordered Mercedes to stay back as she grew weary of his slaughtering while he just...watched from the sidelines

Edelgard just nods "Yes, we are making good use of him..." she stared at her wound in silence

"...I don't like this Lady Edelgard, I don't trust the Death Knight with my life," She gave a dirty look at the Death Knight

"I understand, however, if we are going to face off the Church of Serios. We will need to make good use of him," Edelgard replied with a stone face

Petra frowned "But what if he kills innocents? It would ruin everything that we work so hard to grasp,"

Edelgard sighed in frustration "That won't happen. I will keep him in check no matter what...even if means...ending his life,"

"..." Petra stood there in silence as Hubert gentle moved her back with his hand

"Lady Edelgard, is it true? Claude Von Riegen is dead?" Hubert asked

She bit her lip and points at Petra "From her emotion within her words...Claude Von Riegen has been slain within the fog,"

He turned towards Petra "You aren't lying within your oath?"

Petra shook her head "When I arrived...his entire chest is covered in blood. I checked if he can be saved but...sadly, I have no faith within me as he lost too much blood to be saved,"

"I see...what were his last words?"

"...The Golden deer were to follow Lady Edelgard and Prince Dimitri...that were his last words,"

Hubert gave a suspicious look at Petra but didn't say anything else as Bernadetta stared at Yuri and Constance

Yuri noticed this and turned towards Bernadetta "Hey..." he stared at her face "Do I know you?" Yuri asked

Bernadetta appeared to confused "Huh? What? No...it just...you remind of someone that I know," Bernadetta replied

He made a confused look on his face "Hmm? What do you mean?" 

"Umm..." Bernadetta just stopped working for a moment "N...nevermind," she walked away from Yuri

"Uh...ok?" He shrugs and looked back at Constance

"What was that about?" Constance asked

"...nothing. Just leave it under the bridge," Yuri replied

Constance frowned "If you say so,"

The Death Knight created a path of corpses with their cries of mercy are devoid of emotion within his face while Edelgard, Dimitri, Mercedes, Hubert, Petra, Yuri, Constance and Bernadetta stood back and watch the slaughter

----------------

Seteth flew down onto the ritual ground landing right onto a Dark Mage crushing him under the Wyvern talon

"Oh my...it appears that the brother has finally arrived to save her dear sister," Cornelia smirked at Seteth

He turned towards Cornelia "Cornelia...I have heard that you were a saint that saved the kingdom from the deadly plague...yet here you are. Kidnapping a member of the central Church," said Seteth

She smiled "Indeed, I was...or the be more exact. She was a saint until I came in,"

The Dark Masters surrounded Seteth while the Dark Mages backed off "Hmm? What do you mean?"

Cornelia shook her head "Oh, Seteth...it a shame...we have been under your nose for how many years? Yet, you never did a single thing against us...how shameless,"

Seteth tightens the grip on his spear "If we had known that you were behind this then we might have done something about...the past is the past and we have failed our duty to do anything to prevent the darkness from rising. But now it time for the light to shine against the darkness," said Seteth as he charges forward at Cornelia killing any of the Dark Master that stood in his way by effectively using his Wyvern and Spear while keeping his distance from the Dark Master sword 

He attempted to toss his javelin at Cornelia but it just bounced harmlessly off her "What?"

She smirked "...I am impressed, this ring works better than I thought," Cornelia prepared to cast Ragnarok below Seteth wyvern

Seteth was forced to pull away from Cornelia to avoid the spell as the ground burst into flames before cooling down into a dark lump. He charged once more but this time wielding the Spear of Assal as Seteth thrust with all of his strength into Cornelia

Cornelia bit her lip as she dodged to the right but got scratched badly on her right hand during the dodge "...That weapon...the ring only weakness," muttered Cornelia as she cast Ragnarok once more with her left hand this time...giving him no time to dodge

The flames under his wyvern burst upwards in a stream of fire, however, his shield shined through the orange flames

"Tah...that shield," Cornelia prepared herself as Seteth exited out the flames before leaping off his Wyvern into the air and thrusting his spear at Cornelia

She dodged by moving her entire body back as the spear slammed onto the ground but that when he continues his swing by using the butt of his spear and slammed it against Cornelia face causing her to stagger allowing Seteth to do another slash upward across the ground with the tip of his spear

Cornelia tighten her lips before dodging the slash by stepping to the side while dodging under the butt then she leaps back to avoid his swing across

Seteth frowned as she managed to escape into the woods "...No...I came here to rescue Flayn," he muttered

Jeralt arrived earlier as he stabs a Dark Master with his spear while charging "It seems like someone had managed to create a big mess," said Jeralt while staring at the corpses left on the ground

"Perfect timing Jeralt...did anyone come with you?" Seteth asked as he examines his surroundings

He shook his head "No, I told them to clear out of the forest and avoid the ritual site,"

Seteth smiled at Jeralt "Good," he grabs his shoulder "Jeralt...I need to ask you a favour,"

---------------

Raphael, Ignatz, Hilda, Leonie, Lorez, Hapi, Dorothea, Ferdinand, Balthus, Linhardt and Casper have managed to regrouped with Dimitri, Edelgard, Lysithea and Petra...in fact, everyone has finally reunited as a single group... besides one

Hapi and Bathus when over to Yuri and Constance

"Yuri...your alive," Hapi smiled awkwardly

While Balthus opened his arms "Constance!" He attempted to hug Constance with his big arms but instead, she stepped back avoiding his arms

"Don't touch me with those dirty hands! Especially that your hands are coated in blood!" Constance shouted Balthus while pointing as his bruised fist

He examines his hand "Constance...it isn't that bad," Balthus sighed as he turned towards Yuri "Yuri, what should we do now?" Balthus asked

Yuri smiled "What do you think? We stay with them," Yuri points at Edelgard and Dimitri

"Hmm? Is that the Imperial princess?" Constance asked while pointing at Edelgard

Edelgard turned towards the Black Eagles as she discusses something to Ferdinand, Dorothea, Casper, Linhardt and Bernadetta

Dimitri sighed as he was the only Blue Lion present "...When will they arrive?" Dimitri muttered

Lysithea walked up to Hilda and tapped her on the shoulder "Can I tell you something?" Lysithea asked

Hilda made a confused expression "...ok,"

She pulled her away from the group and behind a tree. Lysithea check her surrounding to make sure that no one else is listening

"Lysithea...are you alright?" Hilda asked with a concerned look on her face

Lysithea shook her head "No...I am not alright, it because..." she sighed in defeat "Claude is dead,"

"...huh?" Hilda stared at Lysithea with disbelief

She crossed her arms "You heard me. Claude is dead...at least that what Petra told me but from her reaction...I don't believe that she lying or making a joke," 

"But...Claude, it can't be...he a...schemer...yea a schemer. He can't die that easily...right?" Hilda asked as her smile soon disappeared from Lysithea reaction

"I wish, he was that smart...but it appears that Claude made a single foolish mistake that cost him his life," Lysithea replied

Hilda reminded speechless as she leaned against the dead tree and muttered something under her words

Lysithea remained silent until Hilda spoke up

"That means...Lorenz is our house leader now?" Hilda asked

She shook her head once more "Petra was told by Claude that...we are supposed to follow Lady Edelgard and Prince Dimitri as if they were his orders,"

Hilda tightens her lips "...That Claude for you...so, are we going to tell...his fate to the others?"

Lysithea nods "Yea...we will have to tell this to the others after the battle...even though my heart is full of pain,"

She pats Lysithea on her shoulder but didn't say a single word as she walked back to the Golden Deer

Ferdinand grew uneasy about Edelgard's comment "So wait...we are going to make use of the Death Knight who is...Mercedes brother?" Ferdinand asked

Edelgard crossed her arms while setting her Axe to the side "Yes, Prince Minister. Got any problem with that?"

"Of course we do! He is the Death Knight! He murdered thousands of innocents! He was inside Remire Village, he was..." he got cut off by when Edeldgard raised her hand right in front of him

She lowered her hand to her side "Stop...that because he was ordered by TWSITD...but that is no longer the case anymore. He will follow my orders without question from now on." said Edelgard

Ferdinand, Dorothea, Linhardt, Bernadetta and especially Casper frowned at Edelgard comment

"Edie, I am not sure this is a good idea...after all, he is the Death Knight," said Dorothea with a concerned look on her face

"I agree with Dorothea...he is too scary!" Bernadetta hide behind Dorothea

Hubert sighed as he examines the discontent within the Black Eagles "Lady Edelgard, we have to press on," said Hubert

Edelgard nods in agreement "Indeed, we discuss about the Death Knight later. Right now, we have to finish off TWSITD...so, I am afraid that we will have to split off to cover more ground. So get into pairs once more,"

Dorothea when alongside Ferdinand and Linhardt with Casper

Hubert was about to go with Edelgard but she just shook her head and points at Bernadetta

"Hubert, you know I can handle this myself...plus...I already have my protection," she nods towards Dimitri

He sighed but in the end. Hubert bowed towards Edelgard before walking up to Bernadetta side

"Huh? Hubert...shouldn't you be with Lady Edelgard?" Bernadetta asked with a confused look on her face

Hubert sighed once more "Edelgard orders," he replied

"Oh...I see,"

Dedue looked back at Hubert who was giving him a dirty eye before looking back at Dimitri. He stayed silent as Edelgard charged forward on foot followed by Dimitri

The Death Knight encountered a group of Imperial Assassins. One of them is General Metodey who still has a wide scar on his face

Metodey bit his lip as he tightened the grip on his sword "Gah...seriously? The Death Knight is here as well?"

The Assassin was shaking within their hands as they attempted to steady their swords and daggers while the Death Knight prepared his Scythe however, instead of charging. He backed off revealing Edelgard

"Y...your Highness...you..." they got cut off by Edelgard

Edelgard points her axe at the Assassin especially Metodey "Drop your weapons...otherwise," she points at the Death Knight "Death shall claim your souls for the underworld,"

They all stared at each then at Edelgard and the Death Knight before obeying her depends by dropping their weapons onto the ground while Metodey frowned at his men "Dam it...I must get out of here," he muttered as Metodey attempted to escape unnoticed, however, the Death Knight quickly blocked his escape route

She turned towards Dimitri "Keep an eye on these prisoners. I shall deal with him..." Edelgard back towards Metodey

Dimitri frowned as Dedue tapped him on his shoulder "Your Majesty, you can let me handle these prisoners,"

"Dedue...thank you, just stay safe," Dimitri pats him the back before looking back at Edelgard

"General Metodey...may I ask...what are you doing here?" Edelgard asked while setting her axe to the side

Metodey bowed towards Edelgard "Umm...yes, I just...well, we been sent here by your father orders...yea, we didn't know that you were...here within this forest,"

His words were all scrambled up as Metodey is sweating like a horse while trying to stay calm

Edelgard slowly walked up to him without her axe "..." she reminded silent this entire time

He looked up towards Edelgard "Y...your Highness?"

She tightens her fist before unleashing it right into his face

Metodey stumbled back "Gah...what are you doing your Highness!"

"Simple...punishing you for killing Claude Von Riegen!" shouted Edelgard with a voice full of anger

He draws out his dagger "Tah...I guess I have no choice but kill you." Metodey charged forward "Die!" He attempted to stab Edelgard in the chest

However, Edelgard just stepped to the side to avoid the thrust then she wrapped Metodey dagger arm with her arm to disarm him before breaking like a wooden stick

"AHHHH!" A scream was released from his mouth while Edelgard just laughed

"That just a beginning Metodey. You still have three pieces of your limbs left," she made a wicked smile on her face as she when over to his other arm and crushed it bones under her feet before moving on to his legs

Dimitri bit his lip as he just watches Edelgard slowly tearing Metodey limp by limp as his screams echo through the tree side "Claude...I wish you were still alive," he muttered 

------------

Midnight Battle Record

The Pillar of Light disappeared allowing the Dark Mages to use their magic again but it was too late. All or nearly all of them were wiped out. Numbering over the thousands as their corpses soak the dirt ground within the Forrest. Cornelia managed to escape to fight for another day while Seteth and Flayn have disappeared after the battle. All Jeralt said is that...Seteth used his body as a shield to protect his sister from Cornelia's magic but lost his life within Flayn arms. In the thirst for revenge, she used her light magic to wound Cornelia but sadly failed to kill her as she also passed away...at least that what Jeralt said

Their bodies were never found. Jeralt excuse was that they disappeared into dust which is why their bodies couldn't be found. In reality, no one knows what truly happens to Flayn and Seteth. Did they truly die? Or did they escape? If so...why? I just wish we can find the answers but...it not going to easy. As history is full of lies or has been rigged into flavour one side over the other. Which is why I am trying my best to search for the truth and remain unbiased

Student records

First Name: Iris

Last Name: ___ ____________

Crest: ___________

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Background: Iris has been adopted into the Royal family. The reason is unknown but she has been working hard as a student. She is easily one of the best sword users in her class. No one has even come close to beating her in a duel. However, she can get prideful and reckless to the point where Iris thinks that she is unbeatable...at least that was the case until Instructor Petra managed to beat her in a duel...completely humanity her pride. Thankfully she did take it well and asked if she can become Petra pupil or to more exact...her follower. She accepted and from now on. Iris practices her sword skill with Instructor Petra every day if possible...to the point where she sometimes forgot to do her homework.

Sadly...things changed after their first real mission. Which is to subdue some rebels within the village. It doesn't seem to a difficult mission as Instructor Petra was with them to ensure their safety. The rest is not within my eyes...instead this is their report after the mission. From what writing within this report, they heard that a woodcutter within the village that they were about to assault is about to be robbed of his daughter unless they pay tons of gold. Petra told the others that it might be a trap and that they should wait for more proof as the story doesn't add up. At least that what Petra said. However, Iris didn't take the idea of leaving a helpless innocent behind and instead snuck out of her group to do it on her own. She when ahead and fought the rebels by herself. Iris managed to do pretty well against them as she investigates the suppose woodcutter but it turns out...Petra was right, it was a trap as dozen of rebels burst out to ambush her. She tried her best to fight them off but Iris was quickly overwhelmed.

Due to being a pretty lady. They decide to have some fun with her before killing her...at least that was their plan until Petra burst in and murdered all of them with her blade. I have heard from Danny that he is the first person to notice that Iris is missing...but that not the important thing. What important was that Petra when full berserk once she heard that Iris was captured when one of the rebels decided to goad about it. This was a big mistake as from Danny Report

"The Rebels decided to goad about capturing Iris and that they were about to have some 'fun' with her. It turns out to be their biggest mistake in their lives as our Instructor grew into a fiery rage as she dashed across the field. Avoiding their arrows and leaping over their 'wall'. All we heard were cries of slaughter as limps flew across the sky while we stood back watched the wall. Their cries lasted for about 30 mins at most and after another 30 mins. The main gate was opened and the outcome was our Instructor soaked in blood from chest to feet carrying Iris who is left with her undergarment while her entire body is bruised. It a miracle that her entire body is still in one piece and that her first time remains untouched." Written by Danny

Even after Iris has recovered physically. She never recovered mental but thankfully only her class knows about her failures although rumours about it started to spread.

Skills: Her skills are very impressive as her sword-arm continues to be strong thanks to training she learned from our Instructor. She does, however, have no talent for magic which is fine by her. But for some odd reason. She has a neutral talent with bows but right now she is focused on improving her sword arm. Oh also she doesn't like wearing heavy armour due to slowing her down

Last Name: __________

Crest: __________

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Background: Danny is one of Iris childhood friends alongside _________. He is one of the best students within his class as he mainly focused on studying the laws of magic and how they work. Danny spells are mainly focused on freezing his enemies with Ice magic gifted by one of his parents. He does, however, can be a bit...afraid of large crowds unless they are his friends as Danny in the past had a rough time with strangers although he acts completely normal around his friends. Danny also not exactly the 'fittest' amount his friends as he more focuses on knowledge then strength

Danny's first mission wasn't too difficult for him but it was difficult for his friend Iris who nearly suffered a terrible fate. He tried his best to comfort Iris but sadly, all of his efforts were for not until Instructor Petra came in and brought her back to the light

Right now, Danny is helping Iris to get over her past. As it still haunts her to this day

Skill: He is widely known for being able to wield Ice Magic like Blizzard and Ice Shard but that not all he can do. Danny can use Thunder and Thoron as well. There were also rumours that he can also use some Dark Magic but they are not confirmed. He is, however, poor with physical weapons like Swords, Spears and Axes but strangely he is fine with wielding a bow

These three students decided to investigate the underground ruins discovered by ________. But we should worry as they have Instructor Petra with them. That reminds me.

You might think about why we call her Petra instead of her last names as the other teachers or instructors. It simple, she asked to call her by her first name not by her last name as she finds it...weird. So it was decided that we will call her by her first name..not by the last name like the others

Right now I am just praying that they all make out alive in one piece.
