TBATE - The third beginning

Chapter 5 Saving the elven princess

Arthur Pov:

"Wow the forest is really beautiful."

"I thought you were here before?"

"Yes I was here before but the forest limits the sight of anybody in this forest, but it seems that it has no or just a limited influence towards us."

"You are right my boy. On Asuras this kind of magic has as good as no influence since we are more in sync with mana itself."

"Is that why we have such control over mana?"

"Yes that is right. You might have two souls fused with each other and this gives you a higher mana capacity but your body allows you to control mana better."

"Regis do you want to come out?"

'Can I'

"Of course come out and stretch."

Regis jumped out of Arthur's body and stretched his limbs. Afterwards he started walking around and inhaling the air like it was an eternity since he was outside, which was actually not wrong.

"So Princess are we going to save your little spouse? Do you think she is again going to fall for you? Or she just might decide to stay with me the majestic god killer weapon Regis."

"Shut up Regis and we are not here for an engagement but for some time to train and start relationships to stop the war with Agrona."

"Yeah, Yeah, just do you. We will see what is going to happen. And who knows maybe you will be faster than Nico and Cecilia. And if you are not then I might be faster princess" Regis just shrugged, grinned and away.

"What do you mean?"

"You aren't the only one that has new runes. I for one have my own runes now. It is not just the destruction rune that I share with you. I have a rune with whom I can change my appearance but this wolf form is still the most comfortable."

"I give up. Anyway we have to move bec-"

"No help someone please help me. Daddy Mommy No"

"There seems to be your future spouse" came the somehow fast but gentle and calm reply from Sylvia.

"Not you to mother it is enough that the other two are teasing me. But let me handle it. So we can still have kind of a similar outcome like last time."

After I said this we all infused our limbs with mana or aether and jumped on the nearest tree. We travelled the whole day long so that we or I would attack during the night just like last time. The dogs were surprisingly docile but it could have been that they didn't sense me or that they feared me and stayed silent due to that. If it is the second reason I had to create some artifacts to hide what we are. Whatever the reason was I cast a wind spell around myself and conjured a aether weapon in my right hand. Last time I killed the two that were awake first but then Tessia started screaming for help so I will do it the other way around. Hiding myself with mirage walk is snuck to the tent and slowly opened it. Inside I saw two men sleeping but just in the wrong moment one opened his eyes. I was to slow he screamed just at the moment when I killed him weaking his friend. It didn't do him any good. I was a child but I still have two lifetimes of experience on my back. Therefore I conjured a second aether dagger and drove it into the second man's abdomen. It was neither a fast nor painless death but he was unable to help the others.

"Dunden, George what happened?" After there came no reply they came over to inspect the tent but I was long gone. Standing nearly behind them in the shadow of the carriage I got an idea. 'Wasn't a Vritra magic shadow manipulation?' But before I could try out anything of importance I heard them shout.
