MERCIA
47. Map Moonheaven.
Leth is surprised he is unaware of August's movements, but he smiles.
"So Kallus didn't really take your power, Mercia?" leth said, turning his body.
"do you know I beat up Irric?" ask August.
"Yes, long before the crystal chose you" said Leth.
"crystals?" ask Ravenna and Emera together.
"what do you mean?" ask August.
"Irric wasn't my friend, he thought I was his friend, he killed Emera's husband."
"you were there by the way, my husband was killed by a sword stab wound" said Emera.
"i was there to make a deal with Irric, it had nothing to do with you and your husband" Leth said.
"What deal?" ask August.
"His Moonheaven map was exchanged for a warblade sword."
"Map Moonheaven?" August surprised.
"the deal was done, and then your husband came, Irric killed him with the sword, and you came" said Leth.
"why does Irric call you now?" ask Ravenna.
"he didn't call me" said Leth in surprise, then throwing a small knife from behind his shirt at the bush, the sound of metal clashing.
trings..!
Irric appeared with a sword that gave off a blackish aura making both of his eyeballs blacken.
"i was expecting you to show up Leth, and you I was going to kill you" Irric said, pointing to August.
"Irric what does all this mean?" ask Ravenna.
"oh Miss Ravenna, I didn't know you were here, what a coincidence, I'll tell you, the kingdom of Galan will be destroyed, Kallus is preparing an attack soon, all the Valon family will be killed, all the Valon family will be killed, but I can protect you, if you're willing to be my wife.hahaha.! said Irric.
"Don't dream." said Ravenna.
"Oh Miss Ravenna, I know you've come here to ask for help in mediating with Armeda, but just know that Armeda has been divided for decades, the clan has closed itself off, the only person I can get in has killed, nobody will help Valon" Irric said.
Ravenna.
"Irric I will avenge my husband's death" Emera said.
"hahaha, with the warblade sword in my hand, no one can defeat me."
"and you're Leth, Kallus paid a heavy price for your head and your sister's" Irric said.
"don't you try to challenge me, Irric" said Leth.
"Borus..! come outside!" terisk Irric's.
A man with a thorn ball weapon appeared dragging a woman in red.
"Legira..!" shout Leth.
"Kallus already knows your foul intentions, you won't be able to get away with it" Irric said.
'save your brother' August whispered to Leth.
"Hey.. Irric you're talking too much, do you think with that sword you feel great?" August says.
"hahaha, you will feel the power of this sword" Irric said.
"You're such a fool, if the sword is so incredible why would Leth trade it for a map that's useless at all, even if he wanted to he could kill you with that sword and take that map" August said.
Irric was stunned to hear that, the opportunity used by Leth to attack Borus made him bounce a few meters, he saved Legira.
Borus got up he threw a ball of thorns in his chain, Leth was surprised, he was holding Legira, Ravenna immediately helped Leth, throwing a black blade towards the ball of thorns with his left hand. the knife penetrated and split a ball of thorns into Borus' stomach.
krak. jleb. akhh .
Borus pulled out the knife, Ravenna did not give a chance he struck his right palm, a beam of black light forming a crow hit Borus's body. instant Borus' charred body blackened only the white color of his teeth, looks white, Borus.
'you're terrible' August whispered in Ravenna's ear. Ravenna just smiled.
Emera steps forward to fight Irric, but August prevents her.
"Don't stop me, I will avenge my husband's death" Emera said.
"wait let me get rid of the sword after that he's yours" August said.
Emera understood that with the current conditions it was impossible for him to defeat Irric if the sword was still in his hands.
"Hahaha, all of you will fall victim to this sword" said Irric, leaping to swing the sword towards August.
August was still motionless, his left hand appeared a triangular shield, he deflected the sword with his shield.
BLEGARR..!
"ti. ti. ti. can't be.."
Ravenna and the others were surprised to see that the triangular shield was capable of destroying the warblade. "it's a light shield.."
hearing Irric's shield of light start to fear, he got up wanting to escape, but unlucky Emera saw it, Emera put her middle and index fingers to her forehead and then pointed at Irric.
"Autumn Corcus..!"
a large purple flower emerged from the ground swallowing Irric pulling him into the ground. I heard Irric scream for a moment and then he disappeared.
'wasn't that like the flower that Elyn planted' August thought.
"Hmm.it seems like today's problem is over" August said.
"Mercia please heal my sister." Leth pleads.
"Give me one reason why I should help you?"
"Oracle.he asked me to look for a map of Moonheaven, he said there would be people destroying warblade swords, he also needed that map someday and that person would heal my sister, he said, you're the one."
'who exactly is this Oracle.' August thought.
"Why are you with Alexys?" ask August.
"Legira survives by consuming the black pill that only Alexys has. Mercia.I know who you are, and I don't doubt it, heal my sister, we'll follow you!" Leth knelt down with a scroll of cloth depicting the Moonheaven map in her open palm.
August took the map, "wake up and never kneel again against me. I'll heal your sister."
Leth smiled with satisfaction. August approached Legira, who was unconscious.
"can bring me.."
"a glass of water hehe.." Elyn cut August's words in her hand and handed August a glass of water.
August shook his head. Emera and Ravenna just smiled at Elyn's behavior. Leth helped pour the healing-energized water over Legira, while August held Legira's forehead as a golden light flashed through his forehead. August does not forget to heal Isona and Dion. Emera and Ravenna are again amazed to see how August heals his third wound.
"Leth your sister will be awake after three days, I suggest staying at Lady Emera's temple, no matter what warblade you give Irric, has taken her husband's life. but even if Lady Emera forgives you" August said.
All eyes now see Emera. "My husband's death was fate, I killed Irric. No more revenge, you're perfectly welcome."
"thank you" said Leth.
"Lady Emera can you mediate with the Armeda clan?" ask Ravenna.
Emera shook her head. "even I didn't know my husband was acceptable in that clan."
"i'll do it, give it a direction" August said.
"are you sure..?" Ravenna.
"i have a friend from both clans" August said smilingly imagining Aruna and Aira would be surprised to see him.
"Mercia look at the map, you will find a desolate valley, the two clans are separated by that valley" said Leth.
"Alright, then I'll go" said August.
"Mercia are you really going? I just became friends with you." said Elyn sadly, her eyes glazed over.
August was touched to hear it, he held Elyn's shoulder "the temple belongs to your mother again, everyone knows the truth, you don't have to be afraid of anyone bothering you anymore, you're going to have a lot of friends, you train hard, because I will definitely visit you, but if you are lazy to practice I will throw you into the river."
Elyn laughed suddenly immediately hugging August. "thank you."
After saying goodbye, August left. They all went back to the temple. Emera, Ravenna and Leth are in the hall.
"Leth tell me who Mercia really is?" ask Ravenna.
"He was from the earth" said Leth.
"Huh. man earth? how did he get to proxima?" ask Emera.
"He's the soul chosen by the crystal."
Emera and Ravenna were stunned.
"so the rumor was true, I had to tell the king of Valon" said Ravenna.
"It's best not to rush things" said Leth.
"what's wrong?"
"many traitors in the Galan kingdom, from soldiers to higher-ups, would be very dangerous if they knew of Mercia's whereabouts."
"what's your advice?" ask Ravenna.
"i will help you to recognize and get rid of them" said Leth.
"Leth go with Ravenna, let me take care of your sister" said Emera.
"All right, thank you" said Leth and went with Ravenna.
