PAID CRIMES

Salvation 2: Bluestern

"Wow, this kingdom was damn astonishing. These fairies were all beautiful. I think I belong here" Tristan comment as we reached our destination.

The kingdom of fairies were located on the top of a giant tree called Crotun Tree. It was a spiral tree that has long and strong vines around it. Its roots were spread through the deepest of the land. A blue pond was beneath on it .Unicorns, Pegasus and griffins were having the land inhabitant.

The branches of the tree spread to the sky reaching the clouds as the whole kingdom covered with it and formed into a nest that holds the kingdom.

The palace was concrete and supported with large vines. If you look from a far it was like a normal kingdom on the top of big tree with vines around it but when you're inside the whole place turned different.

The vines bloomed with colorful flowers while the houses of each fairies were lighted with colorful lights. Everyone was busy flying around like they preparing for something.

Alyck and Tristan stand in front of the fairy council along Anastacia on the side being guarded.

" Your highness these two proclaimed to know Princess Anastacia and this person said she was princess's lover. "the man stated.

" Thank you, Nulf for bringing back the princess here" a man with brunette hair with gray eyes said. He wears tunic red with gold linings and designs around it. He didn't tried to look us.

"Father, I don't want to be engaged with Leon. I've already said that before now I have reasons to stop it" Anastacia said as she looked her father intently.

" Shut up Anastacia, what are you talking about! This marriage is lineal to our clan you can't easily escape it." he angrily replied.

" No! you can't force her to your wants , Fairy King Florence Larke " I said as I stared him blankly.

His face turn to Alyck and eyed her. His eyes widen in realization on who's in front of him.

"You can't just barge in royalties affair human!" a council member yelled. Her faced turn pissed on the scene. She has short silver hair and red eyes wearing a white long fairy gown. A half breed of vampire and fairy.

" Alyck Krion?" Florence muttered as his eyes widen as the named flow from his mouth.

" So this is how you ruled the fairy kingdom now. Forcing your daughter to marry someone she don't like."I replied as I raise an eyebrow on him.

" Alyck do you know him? I'm confused, who is he?" Tristan uttered with furrowed expression.

"Alyck!!!" the king ran and hug Alyck making the people around them surprise on how the king acted.

" Ehem! " Tristan coughed to get their attention.

" Oh sorry, I can't almost recognize you kid. You change a lot. I never thought you'll grow taller than me now. " Florence cheerfully smiled as everyone puzzled on the situation.

" Florence will you act properly. They're looking at you weirdly. " I said as I squinted my eyes on him. If an emoji exist in this era her eyes would be in two line along with her lips saying 'expressionless'.

" What's the meaning of this father? Do you know Alyck?" Anastacia asked as her faced showed puzzled.

" Oh yeah I know her, I'm her Fairy god father. I didn't thought you'll be here after 10 years Alyck."Florence answered as he put his arm around my shoulder.

" If you didn't push your daughter here. I won't be coming either. " I rolled my eyes on him.

" Such grumpy kid, hahaha. " he commented and laughed.

" Yah! You're denying me again Alyck Krion." Anastacia yelled pointing her finger on me.

" Your highness how come you became her Godfather ? " the council member asked. I glanced all of them, some were shock and few were having disbelieves expression.

" She's the heir of Goddess Clan. Once Alyck return to the Kingdom of Gods. She will bring the whole WIC's land new beginning." Florence answered and smiled to her daughter making the other get his point.

" Since Fairies and Gods were allies and destine every lineal to be together the fruit of their union will create another races of Strong Fairy Gods." an old lady said as she walked on the scene. She's holding a wooden crane on her right hand as a girl guided her near us.

" Father, as I said we were already sealed our lives in Ruepe City. In addition to that was the fairy rule of rejection. Alyck and I were destine to be together" Anastacia stated making every person around silent.

" Wow what a turned of event is this. Alyck damn you. You didn't tell me you have a fairy god king as godfather " Tristan commented.

" So Florence will you still push your agreement to your daughter?" I asked him while glancing those council.

" You can't stop the agreement your highness. It was already declared on the fairy land. If you change your decision your credibility will be ruin. " the lady council with silver hair said.

" Even you said it , Gods and Fairies were supposed to be united since the history fairies from royal bloodline offer their lines to the Gods for the blessings of love and peace. No one can break the commandment even you, Veronica" the old lady stated as she glared at Veronica.

"Such intense marriage conflict. Where's Leon anyway? " Tristan changed the mood as he understand the intensity of it.

" He'll be here. He just worked some errands on the other lands." Veronica answered.

"Wow! busy man for a guy to be married in a royal bloodline while everyone was here. How convincing." Tristan sly remarks making his words hit a point.

"The princess can't marry a girl how can day formed an heir to that?" a man from council stated

" Are you blind Hunyo? Alyck here was different. She can produced an heir with the princess. Used your ability stupid" the old lady replied.

They've using their ability since Alyck set foot on their land. Everyone knew how different she was. That ability can't hide your secrets inside your clothes. Fairies used their abilities to scan outsiders and monitor the environment around them.

" Your highness , princess , council and old guide.  My deepest apology for coming late. I'm here to declared my love for the princess. I will do everything to marry her" Leon bowed his head as his fist was on his right chest. He's wearing green tunic with silver linings and his rapier.

" You can declared your love but I don't think you'll be the one to decide it. The situation changed as Alyck has the whole right to be Anastacia's partner" Tristan reacted his declaration. I just sighed in this situation. How I end up here.

" There's other way to solved this predicament. Alyck should fight Leon on the arena to get Anastacia's hand." the king uttered making their attention turned to him.

" If that's your highness order then I'll follow your command. If I win I'll marry Anastacia. " Leon spoke as he stared at Anastacia while the latter snorted.

" Alyck, speak up you can't lay him shine on this situation" Tristan nudge my arm.

" What? "

" You're so smart in other things but so innocent in love. You need to fight against him or we'll be stuck here forever" Tristan threatened Alyck but the latter rolled her eyes.

" Fine" I answered. He grinned wide and glanced at Anastacia who was amused on the situation.

" Ok then the arena will be prepared tomorrow as the engagement will on that day as well. Either of you will be my daughter's husband so be ready." Florence proclaimed his verdict. The council can't opposite the proclamation since it was a fair judgment.

Everyone on the scene excuse themselves except Alyck and Tristan.

"Now they left us. Where will sleep now?" Tristan frowned and look around.

" Hey! you two , come with me the old guide want to talk about you" the girl who guide the old lady earlier said as she beckon us to follow her. She has red hair and green eyes. She's wearing a pink fairy dress with red flourishing colors on the hem of her dress.

Alyck and Tristan followed the girl until they reach a wooden house surrounded with vines.

" Come in and have a sit. I'll brew some tea for you two first. " the girl said and left. I saw the old woman sit on a wooden rocking chair. Her gray eyes stared me seriously like she's trying to dig every thing inside my mind.

" I'm Constancia, grandmother of Anastacia and old guidance among the council. I've been living here for too long that I witness how WIC's land turn to havoc. When I learned that all the Gods and Goddesses were dead the world lost hopes. You already know those dark forces called Demons. "

Alyck stared at the old lady as she heard it before. Her grandfather talked about how they cruel to every living creatures.

" Those demons won after they killed all the Gods and Goddesses. Those people spread fast in every lands using their dark magic manipulating every innocent minds but now you are here. You can change the curse." She added as we keep our silence.

" So those invaders and those who killed my mom were the demons. Those bastards will pay for their crimes. I promise you that , Alyck. " Tristan gritted his teeth with anger.

" Calm will you? You can't fight an army of them" I said as he frowned down.

" She's right, don't be too reckless. You can't slice a bread with only a toothpick. Demons were stronger than you think. Stupid dog." Constancia uttered as Tristan's face turned pensive.

" Alyck will you lift that sword on your waist?"

I unsheathed the sword and lift in front. Tristan's face turn to fascination in just a swift.

" Wow, what a cool sword. Where did you get it, Alyck?"

" Under the ocean "

" I see, no wonder those 3 legendary living creatures blessed you since you're special one. You're destine to save this world from devastation even you're also part of it. " she mysterious uttered.

" What do you mean, old lady?" Tristan asked furrowed on the last words.

I'm already part of it since the day my clan died. Those demons must pay hundred times.

" Alyck tell me what's special with that sword?" Tristan curiously uttered.

" That is fantasy sword, a legendary sword bestowed by the creator of WIC's land. It is said that the 3 legendary living creature protected it against the demons. With that sword you can summoned those 3 legendary creatures to fight along with you. According to ancient stories, once it was approved by those creatures, the sword itself will choose you and only you can used it. " Constancia stated as I look at the sword.

I can feel the pounding aura around my hands like it can understand every word Constancia said.

" You should be careful on fighting Leon. Leon was the son of Veronica who want to be the head of the council. Those two were plotting a revolt tomorrow so you need to be ready." she added as I put back my sword to it sheath.

"I will, thank you. You seems to know everything. How long have you been alive?" I asked her.

" Hahaha, your imagination was quiet fun. I'm 70 years old not too old on what thought" she amused replied.

" You can read minds?" Tristan muttered.

"I can but it was limited. I can't read those people who keep their secret hidden by not thinking it. " she answered.

" Don't worry old lady, we'll help on our full strength" Tristan answered smiling wide.

" Here drink some of our tea" the girl offered as she put the tea set in the center table.

" What's your named ?" I asked her.

" I'm Dalia, your highness" she replied as she lowered her head.

" Stop with the formality. Please seat along with us." Tristan added with knowing smile.

" He's right and I'm just a human don't think too much" I answered as smell the aroma of brew tea. It intoxicating my nerves as sip it. I feel relieved.

"Ok if you excuse I'll take a seat. grandma here is your tea." Dalia served the tea to Constancia.

" Thank you, Dalia" she said as she sip the tea.

" She's your granddaughter? "

" Yes, she's been helping me when Anastacia wasn't here. She's half sister of Anastacia. When Anastacia mom died after giving birth her Florence remarry after 5 years and Dalia was born. Florence want to have a son to inherit the throne but he received two lovely daughters instead. When Dalia's mom died with stigma disease, Florence gave up his wish to have an heir instead he proclaimed his daughters as heiress. This two were closed even though they were half sisters." Constancia spoke as she looked at the silent Dalia.

" This tea was so good!!!" Tristan exclaimed making my eyes rolled .

" Shut up, stupid. "

The next day fairies gather around the arena as Alyck and Leon stand on the center looking each other.

" We are gathered here to witness this battle between Alyck Krion of Alkon Kingdom and Leon Yurud of Fairy Warriors to choose Anastacia's betrothed. The loser must respect the result and won't allowed complained after the batted. The winner will be announce as engaged to Anastacia as the council will set their marriage's schedule. There' only one rule in this battle the first one who'll surrender lose. " Nulf announces as he read the king's scrolled letter.

" I would like to add the loser should not caused any trouble to the people after being lose. If the loser wish to used his power to force his wants the kingdom must vanished him." I declared making the fairies shocked.

" How dare you add some rules without consulting the council?" a man yelled.

" The God was mightier than you mere flies stop complaining. You're looking the heir of Goddess Clan!" Tristan angrily shouted making the fairies felt angry as well.

" How dare you said we're flies you peasant human!" the man countered.

The crowd silent as the two battled with their sharp tongues

" Enough!" Florence yelled making them stop.

" Nothing's wrong with Alyck suggestion. If one of them used force to cut the marriage after the battle then it submit to revolution against the fairies' order. Then, I will order an execution along all the witness of this battle. This is too ensure that the peace will remain the same and to stop any plans of revolution within the kingdom. I hereby added the suggestion" Florence declared. He was sitting on the top deck for royals. Anastacia and Dalia were there as well.

The councils were in the lower deck and Constancia was sitting with them.

" Ok now , let the fight begin!" Nulf announced as he spread both of his arms then fly up.

Leon dashed towards Alyck fast as he s***h his unsheathed katana. Alyck blocked it with her long sword on hang on her left.

She planned not to used her fantasy sword on this battle instead she'll used ordinary sword to be fair.

" I meet her first. I've been with her first. I've been protecting her but why I can't I have her. Why?" Leon gitted as our swords clashed together.

" I don't know. Don't asked me, i***t" I said as push him and countered with fast punch on the stomach making him flew back before I can hit him.

" You're kingdom was already gone. You're just mere human strolling around and yet you catch her in one fight? I've been her opponent since then and she loss to me many times. Why she didn't choose me? Fairy God Rock Meteors!" Leon uttered with his upset face

Countless of stones above shoot directly to Alyck dodge it fast. Her senses sharpen as she learned to control her moves. Her battle with General Larke thought her to read your points moves before attack in full force.

" I said I don't know!" I answered annoyed and dodge his attacks. He's asking those stupid question that I even know what are those.

" Fairy God Bolder Smash."

Huge bolder from above flew towards Alyck.

" God speed!" I casted as I dodge every bolder and jump on it as stairs to reach high without using more force.

"Stop blabbering nonsense and be a man to accept the girl's rejection. For goodness such a coward !" I added making him pissed as come near him.

"It is because of you! You'll pay for ruining everything! Fairy vine prison" he glared as Alyck sealed on the vine cage down to the arena.

" I've been in so many cage this days. God Mode ! God Lance! God Lance s***h!" I said as shrugged his monologue and s***h the cage. He's playing me with simple attacks I can tell his waiting something to happen.

" You'll never win! I'll you see how fairies defeat a God like you." he uttered as he raise his right hand.

The fairies watching them was amazed on how it was for Alyck to defend their best warrior in land but they were stunned how strong Leon was.

" Fairy million arrows!" Leon enchanted as million of arrows form and aim towards the arena.

" Oh! I've seen that technique before but I need to finished this fast since I have a lot to do next." I answered to him and flew fast towards him.

He released all the arrows toward s Alyck while the other used her God Magic Mirage to shield her body towards every arrows. In a speed of the light she punch Leon stomach then round kick to the ground.

Bogsh!!

A loud noise can be hear from the impact. The arena covered smoke dust. The crowd were waiting to know what happen to Leon.

After that impact Leon stop playing Alyck and fight full force.

" Fairy God Flower Beam Full Blast!" A huge beam of light strikes directly to Alyck.

"God Lightning Beam !" I enchanted countering his beam.

Both beam collide each other forming a large ball of light on the center. The strong force can be felt around with the strong winds brushing the audience.

It was battle of magic strength as the ball start to getting big. Alyck can't let the place wreck so she let her beam be defeated as it throw it towards her.

" Alyck!!" Tristan and Anastacia shouted.

"God Divine! God Divine Sword s***h!" I s***h the beam as burst in the side making a big combustions.

"God Divine Millions Volts! "

Alyck release million of volts towards Leon.

" Fairy God Double Vine Cage Defense!" Leon counter as he protected himself from the volts with his thick layered vine cage.

" God Divine Sword Kill Slice!"

Alyck's light sword formed into huge sword. She rushed down as she positioned herself to cut the cage half in a swift showing Leon shocked.

" Fairy Crystals Locke" Leon casted. A huge crystal trap Alyck inside. Leon's magic deflated to 3/4 of his strength as he casted so much magic spells. He can still win after this battle.

" I won't let you win her. She's mine." Leon declared as he glared Alyck.

Alyck tried to s***h it but it didn't barge.

" As I said you can't force yourself to someone don't like you. God Divine Cosmos Sword!"

Alyck's divine sword level up to Cosmos sword and cut the crystals into pieces. Due to new spell, Alyck's strength turned to half. She punched and kicked Leon fast.

Leon countered their attacks as well as they both hit each other on the face. Alyck's bleed as Leon too.

"You can't defeat me!. Fairy God Leaf Shooters!"

Leon enchanted another spell as all the leaves around them formed into blade and attack Alyck.

"God Light Rays !" I uttered as light rays burned the leaves to ashes as I attack in flash pointing my sword to Leon.

" Surrender, Leon. You can't used magic anymore." I said as I sense his displeased.

" I won't!" he yelled as fairy warriors flew towards them and point their swords towards Alyck.

" You can't defeat hundreds of my men do you?" he smirked as I punch him hard throwing him to the ground making him knocked out.

" Soldiers like don't deserve to be called warriors. Muddied imbecile!" Tristan butted in.

"Fairy beam!" they enchanted.

" Fantasy Sword Summoning 3 legendary living creatures!"

Alyck casted as she raise her fantasy sword. The strong red light blinded every person watched the scene.

"Why you summoned us kid?" Rudolf asked.

" I'm taking my nap, yet you disturb it. Rudolf you're also here. Long time no see" Alexander added as he flew towards Rudolf.

" Hahaha, its been so long. This kid might having troubles here" Rudolf replied

" You two never change" Olivia sighed.

The fairies was stunned to see the legendary creatures in front of them even Leon felt the intense powerful magic from the three huge creatures.

" Will you 3 shut up these warriors start to revolt on this kingdom. We need to defeat them."

" Oh a battle of this insects? It's so easy to froze them in a snap." Rudolf reacted.

" I can burned them into ashes that would be best to solved this issue" Alexander supported.

The warriors tried to attack the 3 legendary as casted together a Fairy beam.

" Frozen Ice!" A hundred froze

" Flame thrower!" Another hundred burned to ashes.

"Water bubbles!" A hundred of drowned

"Wing s***h!" Several were wounded.

" Ice spikes!" Some were badly injured

" Water bomb!" Others were thrown away.

Every warriors who attack them suffered their punishment. Less than a hundred left froze while watching how their comrades turn to ashes, freeze to death and died in being drown.

" You got stronger, kid " Rudolf commented.

"Wow, you never told me about them, Alyck." Tristan fascinatedly uttered.

" Alyck how come you can summoned them?" Anastacia flew towards us while others followed.

" It was not such good story to begin with" I just shrugged.

" Yah! You stoic kid! You meet me with good story, you know? " Alexander reacted as he pointed his finger on me.

" Hahaha, Alexander it was nice to see again. Can you introduced your comrades?" Tristan amusedly laugh.

" This is Rudolf and Olivia as you can see we're summoned with little cold brat here. Thankfully your kingdom was enough to fit us or we might destroyed it. "Alexander said.

" Fairy Guards! Arrest the warriors! Greetings legendary creatures. I'm Fairy king Florence Larke. It was honored to meet you three." Florence greeted. Fairy guards arrested those remaining warriors who were still shocked. Nulf takes Leon away the scene.

" Such wonderful event, stop with the formalities. " Rudolf stated.

" You're really interesting, Alyck" Anastacia uttered as flew towards me. My eyes widen as I felt her lips again on my lips.

" Alyck, congratulation of your battle. We're done here. We'll leave the rest to you. You two let's go." Olivia answered and disappeared. I sheathed back my swords and look at them.

" Oh yeah!, bye everyone. Congratulation love birds. I'm looking for forward for your engagement, kid" Rudolf said as he vanished.

"Call us when you needed the most you cold brat. Don't disturb my pleasant nap out of nowhere! "Alexander flew away.

" Wohoooohh! " the crowd cheered as scattered pink rose petals flew towards the arena.

" Congratulation, Alyck you can have my daughter now. This hereby decree you're both engage." Florence proclaimed

" Yeah!!!" Tristan happily jumped while people around smiled in satisfaction.

" Now we're engaged. I'm looking forward to married with you, Alyck " Anastacia whispered as she clung her arms around my neck.

" Not so fast, fairy. I need to find those demons first. "

" I know and I want to help you so I'm with you whether you like it or not." Anastacia stated.

" Now you can't back away, Alyck." Tristan grinned.

" Alyck demons were everywhere but you can start to locate them in Ellum City on South west. Anastacia you can't come with her. It will be dangerous for you." Florence interrupted her plans to come along.

" Father it will be alright. Just let my sister go this time. She has been here doing her duty now they she's engage her duty must be in her partner. You all know how difficult to be part away. So ley her be ." Dalia spoke as she looked Anastacia with assurance and smiled.

" Thank you" Anastacia mouthed to Dalia.

" Just let her. Everyone was ganging up on you. Father" I said making them grinned. He's my godfather. It was normal to call him like that and they making fuss about it. The council kept their silence while old Constancia smiled.

" Fine! Alyck bring back my daughter alive ok?"

" I will "I answered making Anastacia smiled hugging me tight.

" Thank you!" she whispered.

" So our new destination would be Ellum City ! " Tristan cheered

" Oh yeah!" Anastacia seconded as she raised her fist up.

"This is going to be headache" I shook my head

As everyone laughed out loud except the council who remained composed but their eyes glint in amusement.
