Case 3: Illegal Show

"I can say Ruepe City was best for romantic destination. Damn! look that tall tower." Tristan exclaimed pointing the triangular shape tower.

" You're always talking nonsense every time we reached our new destination. Can you shut your mouth for a second?" I bored look at him. He just grinned like he wasn't affected with my remarks.

Tristan acts to shut for a second.

" Ting! your 1 second is done already and nope I can't help not to react every place we stop. You know it would be awesome for you to appreciate the place. We don't usually seen different places like these since we're sank ourselves in the forest for long" he replied with weird acting.

"Whatever, stop with your dramatic acts, it won't work on me. I can see those people looking us weirdly" I disgustedly uttered trying to distance myself from him.

"Yah! why you're moving away? "he exclaimed gaining more audience.

" I'm not !"I answered as I stay away few steps from him.

" Yes you are!"

" Hello handsome boys, would you like to look and try our magic show?" 

A blued curly haired lady approached them handling some flyers with the entitled" Magic House" She's wearing a maid custom while holding the a basket of flyers on her right hand.

" Oh thank you, we would like to see these. Alyck, did you hear what she said, we're handsome. As thanks, we should try these on." Tristan said as he encourage Alyck to come with him.

" You only need to pay the entrance worth 5000 USD. We will guarantee you'll enjoyed it. " the girl added as she smiled.

Tristan acted like he was about to cried. Passers were looking Alyck like some kind of heartless boy. Alyck can't take the embarrassment, she felt.

" Fine!" I defeated respond and sighed.

" We're looking forward  for your presence" the girl uttered and left to give those other passers the flyers.

"This would be exciting to explore" Tristan excitedly squealed.

" Let's go, we need to change our disguise, idiot."

Ruepe City  is one of those rich cities across WIC's continents. They build their well-structure, tall and magical buildings as their tourist spots. One of their famous tourist spot is the triangular tower called Liffle Tower that most couples around the area used it as their dating site. Most couples who start their first meet on the said city will be forever entangled, if it was sealed with a kiss on the person's lips. It was like magic contract inside the city that even you hate the person if a sealed kiss happened that person will start fall in love. The said rules applied only on single person and will take root even outside the city

These place was known to be vampires and witches clans origin. Now it was breeding pin of different races.

Wolves, ogres and elves were now starting to gained their living here as they meet their mate and start to build their families in this city.

Humans were on the upper status around here. They gained any access to every resources the city has.

"You look good with your clothes, Alyck .You're golden curtain hairstyle made you look like a prince from some royal clan" Tristan exclaimed as he surveyed my attire.

I wear a tunic dark blue embezzled with golden design, it was paired black fitted trouser and black long boots. On my waist is another sword that I both. I died back my real hair.

"I am real royal, stupid" I rolled my eyes at him.

" Oh yeah, you look handsome than beautiful. Hahaha but I'm more handsome than you" he said as he wiggled his eyebrows.

He wears yellow tunic embezzled with gold design paired with white fitted trouser and black boots. His shoulder length silver haired turned to short.  On his waist was a long sword.

He's showing his charming vampire look with his wild attitude.

"Stop your daydream, let's go" I uttered and walk ahead.

" I'm not daydreaming, I'm telling the truth, you know." he rebutted and walked on my side.

" Fine!"

Alyck and Tristan reach the magic house. It was a big close dome and different people gathered to watch the event. The girl earlier was on the entrance guiding the newcomers.

" Welcome to Magic House. Please enjoy the show" she said while smiling on Tristan.

" We will, thank you" Tristan answered and excitedly smiled at her back.

" I never thought ,you'll flirt well" I commented him as we sit on our designated chair.

" My handsomeness is the key of everything, you know" he replied making me rolled eyes.

" I don't think so" I said as I glance the place.

The place has circular wooden stage and a red wall as background. Most people who were here came from different races around the area. Few were travelers who were just curious about the show.

"Wow these place where crowded. They might want to watch the show too" Tristan stated as he roamed his eyes of the crowd. 

" Just keep your wagging tail down, will you? The show was about to start"

A fat man in a red silk costume for magician with thick beard around his chin showed on the spotlight. Lights were focus on him as well as the drum rolled.

" Welcome guest, friends, enemies, and  loyal viewers on our show. I'm Harry, your presenter. Magic House let the show begins"  he exclaimed gladly making his eyes turn to small.

As he signaled, the place around him turn colorful with the light beat of music and loud slams of drums. Everything was in sync while the performers walk in. They were fairies throwing knives on the air as they flew. Fairies seldom shown in these place but now they were performing a live acrobatic acts and death stunts.

"Wow! this is so cool" Tristan amazedly squealed.

A fairy on the center throw a knife towards Alyck making  her to dodge. She stared at the fairy as it smiled and wink.

" Woohhh! Is this love on first kill?" Tristan commented.

" Shut up, stupid " I hissed as I pulled the knife and throw back to the fairy.

The fairy easily accepted the pointed knife between her fingers like it was simple paper. The crowd roared in amazement. The fairy smirked on Alyck as the other was annoyed.

" Damn! You meet a kickass Fairy!" 

"She isn't"

The fairy raised three knives between her fingers as she throw it to Alyck,  again. Alyck defended herself as she unsheathed her sword and block the knives.

" Wooohhh!!" The crowd roared in facination.

" What the heck is your problem?"

"Hey calm down Alyck people were looking on us"

The fairy flew near her and stand in front of her.

" I found you. Fight me, here or you'll be laughing stock around" she challenged me and smirked

She flew back on the stage beckoning Alyck with her right forefinger making the crowd roared.

" Go! Alyck. Get your girl, hahaha."Tristan teased Alyck while grinning to her wide.

" Shut up!" Alyck annoyed replied.

Alyck jumped from her seat to the stage letting the light fix on the two of them who were standing in the stage. The other fairies were encircling them outside the stage watching the scene.

" Our contestant of our battle royal. The chosen one must have a dance fight with our performer. The battle will choose who's the best dance fighter. Let the battle begin" Harry announced.

A music of Samba played as the fairy swayed gracefully looking intently to Alyck. She seductively smiled before she throws 3 daggers on Alyck. Alyck dodged it with backflips. She moved with posture and look at the fairy with blank face. She's well groove as the music turned fast face then to slow, the two move to each other and fencing their weapons. Alyck carefully maneuver to pick the fairy's hand with her sheathed sword making fairy's dagger fall. Alyck take the chance to take dagger first before the fairy able to grab it.

The fairy attacks with her punches and kicks as Alyck dodged it and moved along the fairy closing the gap with their body as she hugs fairy's waist and hold the dagger against the fairy's neck.

" Such cold headed ass" The fairy uttered as they stared each other.

" Congratulation choosen one!It was splended battle"Harry announced while Alyck went back to her seat not minding the crowd.

"Wohoooh!!"the crowd cheered.

" Yeah!!the best performance. Damn Alyck, you nailed it." Tristan commented 

" That's the last thing, I'm doing it"

" Hahaha, you got a girlfriend already" Tristan laughed and teased.

" Stop talking nonsense or cut your tongue"

" Hahaha, fine! I'm excited with next performance what should it be?"

The 3 unicorns and 2griffins went in making the crowd amazed.

"Wohooh !!!"

Griffins flew up and pass through to the big ring of fire as the unicorns jumped on the 10 meters burning fire between to another flat form. These creatures were nearly extinct in WIC's lands. They were mostly hunted for their unique meat. The alliance of 7 continents created an organization called WIC System. One of the organization  implemented was WIC wildlife reservation who prohibit to killed and captured those almost extinct and endanger creatures yet now it was shown here like they didn't violated any rules.

" Damn , this is my first time to see these real unicorns jumping on a fire. Wohooo! You're so awesome" Tristan uttered. I just faced palm on him feeling disbelief on his silliness.

" You really stupid those were illegally captured. WIC organization must know these case to seize this stupid show."

"Oh yeah! those were almost extinct. How come they have it here? These people really don't care about the issue." Tristan said and frowned.

" These jerks must be on black market and we might know about their alliance"

" This creature was saved and living with us since then. Our awaited grand finally our very own Water King Dragon" Harry announced and gesture to open the stage's red background.

A big glass bowl of water was shown.

Our eyes widen as we saw a chained baby water dragon.

" This is not what I expected to see. How did they get a water dragon? Damn!" Tristan pissed on what he see before his eyes.

" Arrrorrrh!" the dragon painfully cried as it tried to swam up but held with chain on its  tail.

Half crowd cheered as they were facinated on what they saw while others were silent.

" Let's go, Tristan that dragon should be in his home."Alyck said as she stand and left the crowd.

" Oh yeah! that's more I like it." he grinned and followed her.

Alyck sneaked on the back of the dome were the caged animals earlier silently lied down. She s***h the lock on every cage as the animals start to run on the back with Tristan as guide.

As the shows end the presenter ordered to put back the glass bowl to its place. Alyck was about to walked to the glass bowl when someone blocks her.

" What do you think you're doing?" a lady's voice asked. It was the fairy she fight on the stage.

She faced Alyck while she crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows.

"Do I obligue to answer your questioned?" I answered back. 

" You let those animals go, right?"

"So? You can call your boss."

" I'm glad you made it. I was planning the same as well." she said.

"Then why you're blocking my way?" I questioned her. She's weird. She wears light purple fairy princess dress with gold design and accessories. Her brunette wavy hair was braided into 3 strand braided style. She has gray almond eyes that fix her perfect face.

" Because I want to joined with you" she replied making my  brows cringed.

" Sorry to burst your bubble miss but I can't let you joined us. I don't even know you"  I stated as I walked pass her not wanting to  look back.

" I'm Anastacia , you can call me Ana, Tasya, or Anya cold headed ass." she exclaimed loud making me stop.

" Is anyone there?" a man shouted.

" Just me Andrew!" she shouted back.

Alyck just hid on the corner as the man walked near Anastacia.

" What the, who let the animals go?" he yelled as he saw the cage empty.

" I don't know her but she's from one of those audience earlier." Anastacia uttered and shrugged the problem. Fairies has the ability to see through someone's body.

" Gua-"

Before the man can shout Anastacia blew him with fairy dust making the fall down in sleep.

Alyck ignored them and sneakily went to the glass bowl.

" Hey, I'll let you out of there. We just need to drag these bowl out of these place"

" Arroorrhh!"

" I'll help you, there's a wagon at the left side. We can transport these with it." Anastacia butt in out of nowhere.

" No thanks and stop following me"

" I'm not following you. I want to save him as well. It's duty to protect those creatures" Anastacia explained.

Alyck jumped high up to glass bowl's edge. She unsheathed her sword and jump down. She swam through the chained tail of the dragon and cut it making the dragon swam up.

" Arrorrhh"

A loud thunder and a hard rain poured all over the city as the ocean's wave splash violently.

" Hey calm down, don't used your power here" I sternly said making the dragon stop.

" Wow, I'm amazed on how you control the dragon , Alyck" Tristan complimented as he came back.

" Oh so her name was Alyck. Hi nice to meet you. I'm Anastacia"

" Nice to meet you, too. I'm Tristan. s**t you're the first one to know her gender, how amazing your girlfriend Alyck.?"Tristan asked amazedly.

" Hahaha, so you considered me as her girlfriend? How thoughtful. It's easy to know since I'm a fairy with higher ability." Anastacia answered in sly smirked.

" Then why are you helping us, does your boss will angry about these?"

" It was just an act my purpose was those creatures being captured by Harry's men" she answered.

" Nice acts you've got there .I was amazed with your performance along with Alyck" Tristan smiled making Anastacia smiled in return as she glance at Alyck.

" Tristan stop with you nonsense and get a tub with water. Bring it here. Hurry up!"Alyck interrupted their conversation about her.

" What about me?" Anastacia spoke wanting to be part of the rescue mission for the dragon.

"You can leave now" I answered making her stared seriously.

"That's mean, she can help us Alyck" Tristan stated and frowned.

" For once just let me help him. Stop with your stubborness" Anastacia sternly uttered her aura turn gloomy. Her eyes were looking intently to Alyck.

" Ok fine bring the wagon, you have said" I sighed as her mood change to light again

"That's my buddy Alyck, hahaha. Can't say no for long"

" Oh yes! does that mean I'll be part on your team then?" Anastacia happily asked.

" No"

"Hahaha, you're so cute" Anastacia commented

" Hahaha, I'm watching a cliche courting" Tristan laughed on their bickering.

" Stop laughing Tristan and hurry up you two."

" Ok be right back."

As Tristan and Anastacia run on different direction. Alyck position herself to smash the glass with her sword but it didn't barge in. She decided to break it through her God Beam making a loud noise of broken glass can be heard.

" What do you think , you're doing imprudent?"

Harry angrily looked Alyck as he signal his men.10 ogres with weapons walk in front of him.

Alyck jump out the broken bowl leaving the blue water dragon with small amount of water.

"I expected you'll showed up."

" Attack him!" Harry ordered.

The ogres sweep and s***h Alyck with their heavily weapons.

" God speed!"

I tried to s***h one of them as I dodge fast but fatal strikes won't work on them. They have thick layered body  skin that protect them from weak sword.

"God light beam" I shot one of them with my finger like shooting gun and hit one on the center of his heart making a hole on it.

As one of them died they rampage and harshly attack Alyck making her God speed used all over as her strength keeps  deflating.

"Aghh!" I groaned as was hit on my back with hammer on my stomach

" You'll be dead meat, boy"

They attack again as they encircle Alyck.  She can't use God augment magic 'since it would hit all the space around her. Her God beam can be used on long range only.

"God lightning volts"  I throw my volts fast towards each of them but it was deflected easily.

" God rays" They were hit by it but it’s not enough to killed them.

" Aghh!Ahhh!"

Alyck was being gang with  the ogres. She might dodge few of them but she'll take the other in return. Her body was filled bruises, wounds, and swollen as she was hit all around. Blood spread everywhere making the ground paint with red.

" Blagh!" I fell down on the ground feeling so weak.

Alyck felt helpless as her body was about to collapsed in front of these ogres. She gained broken bones all over her body. She remembered the child helplessly lied down waiting to be killed.

Mom I think I'll coming with now. I'm sorry, I can avenge you at my current status." Grow strong!, grow stronger!" mom's voiced echoed my head.

I need to be stronger. Stronger to fight those bastards. I will kill them all.

As the ogres tried to attack her altogether. Rage in Alyck's heart formed as her limiter started to be broken." Ahhhhh!!!!"I shouted as I force back my broken bones into their places. 

The limiter finally broken unleashing her God Mode. She enchanted with another spell.

" You'll all die. God mirage!!"

Ogres' attacks were deflected back to them. As Alyck's turned green, a surge of magic spread out on her body shielding her from danger.

" God Lance!"  I cast and a lance formed into my hand as I moved it freely on my body as I deflecting their attacks combine it with God speed. Their faces turned horror as they saw my new form." God s***h!"

Alyck slashed their heads in one go with her God lance. She turned her head to Harry making to froze.

" W-Who are you?" Harry stuttered asked. His face turn pale as Alyck walked towards him." You need to know, now tell me do you know about Alkon's m******e?"

"I-I know they were killed by those unknown bandits.I heard they're wearing black hood but I don't know who are they or what clan they came from" he answered scared to be killed.

"Where did you heard that?" 

" One of those traders in black market but it long time ago. I didn't know where he is now"

" Where was the last time you meet? "

"I meet him on an event on a black market in Friçan City. They were 3 black market you might know there. One on Sahara, second on Rabia and lastly on Ruzia. Maybe you can look for him there." he stated as he tried to look calm as Alyck eyed him.

"Wow, you sweep them all." Anastacia amazedly commented. Alyck's green eyes turned back to gold as her magic deflated.

" Anastacia , you're part of this?" Harry angrily yelled as he looked at the girl with grievances.

" Yep, Harry you'll pay for the crime you committed. Leon killed him" Anastacia ordered and a fairy guard shows as he beheaded Harry. "A selfish human must not live with good life." she added 

Alyck falls down as her bones turned to pieces. She lost so much from the battle that she can feel her body sank in. She coughed blood and start to loss her consciousness.

" You're so reckless, Alyck."she said in serious tone. My eyes were tired as I closed it to sleep.

Anastacia heal her body turning every bones on place  with her fairy light magic but Alyck's energy still need to regain by herself.

" That's how the problem solved." Anastacia mumbled as she wiped her sweats on her forehead

" Why I always end up late! What happened here?" Tristan butt in as he carried a bathtub." She fought them all making body broken. Thankfully, I'm here to save her. Now she just need to sleep." Anastacia stated.

"Oh, thank you for saving my stubborn cold buddy."" She's worth to save, Tristan. I think we should transfer him now." Anastacia smiled as she looked at the blue baby water dragon." Yeah, you're right. The sleeping beauty can't  make this work from these moment" Leon helped him with the dragon" Anastacia ordered 

Leon and Tristan help the dragon to the wagon and let it free on the coast while Alyck  regained her consciousness. Anastacia stayed with her." So you're awake now. Anastacia smiled" No still asleep" I sarcastically replied as I went to sit." Hahaha, such cutie, you are"" Where's the dragon?"" They already take them to the sea while you're asleep."" I see and why are you still here?"" I guarded you, stubborn girl""Will you stop calling me that?"" What? It's true though"

" Miss Anastacia , we need to leave now" the man named Leon interrupted.

" You can go first , I'll follow in few minutes." Anastacia answered but Leon remained in few meters making her sighed.

"Now it's time for me to ask you again, Alyck. Will you allowed me to joined you ?"Anastacia said as she smilingly stared me.

"Damn, is this some kind of confession?” Tristan commented.

" Still no" I answered bluntly.

" Why dude? It would be great if we let her joined us" Tristan furrowed and asked.

" Ok then, will you be my partner?" she offered another question again.

" Damn, I never thought. I'll be your audience with this love offering" Tristan exclaimed flipping her invisible hair. I just rolled my eyes on him.

" Remember the rules of fairies, you can't say no if you already reach 3 times of rejection. If you say no again then you'll end up struck with lightning" Anastacia holding her smiled as she amused on Alyck.

" Scary! Alyck accept it or you'll not be able to find that man" Tristan said acting like scared.

" Who's that man?" Anastacia curiously asked.

" One of those invaders in Alkon Kingdom. We've been tracking them down. Do you know or heard about them?" Tristan stated shrugging the seriousness of the atmosphere around them.

" Oh, I heard that story. Why don't you try to go East on those desert lands maybe they'll hide on those places" she suggests "I already earned this information from Harry. He said about the black market in Frican City. We can look those markets." I spoke making them look.

" That's good then we're headed to those "Tristan grinned.

" Anyway so what's your answer Alyck?"Anastacia brings the topic back.

" Just agree already, Alyck. It won't hurt you if you agree, plus you'll have a beautiful girlfriend" Tristan seconded Anastacia." Come on, Alyck"

" Ok fine!"

" Yes!" they cheered in unison.

" I'll regret these" I mumbled myself as I stand.

" Of course not, Ruepe City really brings up people to be together. Now you’re not allowed with other girls. This will be our bond" she said as my eyes widen. She quickly kissed me.

" Y-Yah!, my eyes!" Tristan reacted as he tried to covered his face with his hands yet he's peeking between his fingers.

" See you around, Alyck. I need to go back to report these then I find you, after. So be careful ok? Tristan guard her" Anastacia stated as she touched my face and looked at Tristan. Her eyes were deadly looking him.

" I will madam" he replied and  act like he was a loyal guard. He stands straight facing us with confidence.

" Miss Anastacia" Leon butted in. He's wearing a green tunic with gold embezzled paired with green trousers while on his waist was a rapier. His sky blue long hair was fixed into side as his emotionless eyes glance at me and slightly bowed.

Based on these person Anastacia was in higher status in fairy clan. As she brought herself was somewhat restraint.

" I know, bye guys! Alyck will you, soon." she said as she flew away.

" s**t, you've got a girlfriend in a blink of an eye." Tristan shocked muttered like he wasn't expecting it.

"Damn that rule"

" Hahaha, poor Anastacia. She'll surely need a lot of patience on you"

"Shut up!"

" Alyck and Anastacia sitting under the moon K-I-S-S-I-N-G"

"Shut up or I'll you kill you!"

" Hahaha"

"Come on, Alyck."he yelled out making Alyck sighed.

" I'm so excited on those camels." he added

" Tssk! we won't ride those we can used teleport station"

" Yah! you're  such a kill joy. "

" I know"

" I'll make sure, we'll ride it" he confidently said.

" If you can” I rebut and fixed my scarf.

" Then let's beat it" he grinned as he wiggled his eyebrows

" Beat it" I replied bored. Alyck and Tristan to start on Sahara. A small town that stood in center of the desert.

" Teleport on Sahara" we said in unison.
