Chapter 3: The Reiss Family
"What is it?" You asked, looking through the brush with your father and brother. What you were staring at was a chapel. It was foreign to you, as all human made things were.
"I don't know. But from what we've seen of the humans so far. They tend to have a purpose for the things they make that they can fit multiple people in." Acnologia stated, looking to the side as he saw a light.
"Here come some now. If they go in we'll follow them, and see what they do." Igneel and you nodded, staying stock still. You watched as what was presumably a family of sorts all filed into the church. "Why do they wear those weird clothes?" Igneel asked of no one in particular.
You could see his eyes following the tallest one in the group. She had hair the color of shadows, and eyes the same color as the skies when the sun was highest. Despite your age you seemed drawn to her as well, watching her carefully.
Acnologia waited until they were inside before heading for the door. "Quit ogling them you two, come on." He whispered harshly, snapping you out of your trance as you both dashed after him. "Uh, yes sorry father." Igneel said, blushing for the first time since...well, ever. "Son, come here." You stepped up to your father.
"Go in first. Your young, they won't see you as much of a threat." Your eyes widened as you shook your head. "What if they attack me." You whined. "Then we'll burn them all to a crisp for dinner. No ones touching my little brother as long as I'm here." Igneel said, showing his protective side, all traces of the female cleared from his mind at the thought of his brother getting hurt.
You smiled. Feeling reassured you pulled the door open, walking in. "Their not in here." You said, poking your head out the door. "What? That's impossible. It only has one entrance." Igneel said. Pushing the door further open and stepping inside. Acnologia followed.
"Perhaps there is a hidden entrance somewhere else." Acnologia stated. "Move their pelts." He pointed to the rugs on the floor, grabbing one and moving it. You rushed over to copy him, doing the same for the next one. "Found it." You stated, holding the rug to the side to reveal a trapdoor. "Good work son." Acnologia stated, grabbing the metal ring and opening it.
You leaned around the pillar along with Igneel, Acnologia above you both. You'd entered a completely crystalline structure, following the voices within to the family.
You watched as the group conversed amongst themselves, all of them clad in those white robes. Aside from one. He'd shed the robe. Revealing darker pants and a white shirt that covered all but his hands and head.
You watched as he was helped up the stairs by one of the others. A stout and short man that even you were almost as tall as. You watched in confusion as the first man was chained up at the top of the odd looking cliff, while the stout man joined his family. They huddled up, hiding what was going on.
Then they all started to back away from the tall female from before. "Shit." You heard Igneel grumble. Grabbing you and leaping up to get high off the ground with your father. Acnologia reached out. Holding Igneel until he could form his claws and dig them into the crystal as Acnologia had done.
"What are they doing?" You whispered. Absolutely lost in the happenings below you.
