Sabertooth in: Return of the Musketeers!

Job Details:

Mashyuu and Rocky split the water below from the speed of their travel to Minstrel again. The Wizard hand't been here since the local nobles were kidnapped and Mashyuu was contracted to help free them. Back then he had just learned his Dragonslayer Magic and was told to work with a Rune Knight. Hell he had been made an honorary Musketeer in the process. But today he was sure that he would be labeled either a hero or felon in the city. Mashyuu touched down at the docks where Rocky transformed back into a stone dog and glanced up at the Wizard. He was supposed to meet another member of Sabertooth who he hadn't actually met before but had seen in passing. "She's probably on that ship that is coming up now." Mashyuu explained to Rocky as a large ship pulled up slowly to a rest at a wooden dock.

The Earth Slayer strutted to a small series of stalls and smoothed out his one sleeved jacket while looking over a menu that was sitting above the Stall the dark haired man was standing at. Mashyuu ordered a Gyro and sat at a bench. He bit down on the lamb meat and bread while flexing his right hand over and over. "This guy. Giving the speech is a dark Wizard in hiding. Part of that group that wants to sacrifice elemental Wizards. They killed my mother. I won't let them harm anyone else and this guy is upper level from what I have heard. If we can fight our way to his private room and stop him from giving his speech the world will be better off. Just have to show the other Musketeers that he has a dark guild mark on his left shoulder." Mashyuu explained to Rocky while he continued to chew and waved at the Sabertooth Wizard as she came into his view.

Swiftly Mashyuu ran up and smiled to the woman while trying to maintain eye contact and not gawk at her beauty. "You were there at the Fight for the guild hall. Nice moves back there. I'm Mashyuu. It's a pleasure to finally meet you personally. Thanks for coming along with me on this. It's strictly under the radar and we need to make sure to expose this Priest as a Dark Wizard. If not Sabertooth could get in a serious amount of trouble for attacking the castle."

Gently Mashyuu sat at the side of Lynn and smiled warmly at the cold woman. "Didn't you used to have red hair and wear lots of leather?" He asked bluntly while Rocky placed it's head on the Earth users orange pant covered lap. Gently Mashyuu reached down and rubbed behind the stone Gargoyles ear. "You have a flying Lion.... That's awesome and might come in handy. So about this thing I asked for help with... Ten years ago a group of Dark Wizards who belong to a guild I have yet to identify killed my mother. A wizard who used both earth and thunder magic... This was in an attempt to summon a demon made of all the elements. As it turns out the offerings must be done within one year of each other. That means that the Demon wasn't summoned on time. Now they are trying again but keeping bodies locked away in stasis until they have a Wizard of every type and the more powerful the Wizard the stronger the Demon will be. This Father Ibáñez is one of the higher ups in this dark guild and weather he gives any info on the demon or not I want to reveal him for what he is and take him out of the picture for now." Mashyuu explained.

Mashyuu finished his gyro and placed its wrapper in a trash bin. He frowned at it for a few moments while considering weather or not it tasted like dirt or he just had to many rocks since he became a Slayer. After a few moments Mashyuu smiled and stood up. "I don't really have a plan, despite what my teacher suggests. So I was just going to storm the church and fight my way up to the Father. If that's cool with you?" Mashyuu explained and offered his hand to the beautiful Lynn to help her up.

Thinking back on his last visit Mashyuu remembered the well in the center of town, and the large castle to the north of it. Shops surrounded the well and at each Cardinal directions there was a different building. The castle, the docks, a town hall and a massive church. "We are going to get into a fight. You are ready for that right?"

"Not that it matters but I always thought that you were beautiful when you had the marks and red hair. Your just as attractive now... But you shouldn't change unless you want to. It's not worth it to try to impress anyone else." Mashyuu said in response to Lynn and her change of appearance. The Wizard smiled at her while walking towards the well so he could orient himself. "Heh... Yeah I know it's not the best plan. I have this ring..." Mashyuu lifted his left hand to flash the golden dragon talon ring on his left index finger. "It has the spirit of an Earth Dragon in it, and it has been teaching me my spells. It told me that storming the church was a bad idea. But..." Mashyuu looked the woman over and then down at Rocky. "No. It's a bad idea." He admitted at last, finding he couldn't figure a better plan on the spot.

"It's not a bad idea. The problem I see is that if we go about that way we might get surrounded by his followers and have to fight in a surrounded state. That could end up bad. I have a few spells for area attacks and defense but most of my spells are more for hitting one target super hard.... In fact I have a spell for this guy." The blue eyed Wizard stopped at the large well and looked for the castle so he could find the church. "This way..." He muttered and started for the church. "What if we went in as fans, got some of his followers alone and ambushed them, took their clothes and tried to get the guy when he was alone? Does that sound good to you?" The Slayer asked while taking in a whiff of air to get familiar with Lynn's scent in case the pair got separated during the job.

Together the group came to a large church, it's walls made of a rich white stone with massive pillars. It's windows were stained glass with various depictions of religious symbols. The top of the building was domed and it's doors made of thick, heavy grey iron. Two guards stood outside to look for anyone carrying a weapon. For once the Wizard was glad he wasn't carrying anything on him that would get him in trouble. "If you have any other suggestions now is the time to throw em out there."

Mashyuu smiled at Lynn while the two came up to the massive church of white stone with stained glass windows. Men and women swarmed at the doors with police blocking the entrance. The brown haired Wizard's eyes narrowed in annoyed frustration. "Rocky, fly around and see if there is another way in please." Mashyuu whispered and the earth elemental at his side barked once before sprouting wings and flying off. Standing in line Mashyuu glanced over at Lynn and held up both his fists playfully. "Oh you're a fighter eh? Maybe after this job we can fight and see who's better. Ice or Stone. Are your spells support or damaging spells?" Mashyuu asked.

A few moments later Rocky flew back around and landed next to Mashyuu, nudging him with the top of it's head. Mashyuu rubbed behind the smaller creatures ear and he started to follow his friend around the back of the Church. Gently he motioned for Lynn to follow the two. Together the group moved around the church where a set of double doors led down, likely into a basement. The doors were barred with a chain and pad lock, making Mashyuu snicker. Rocky walked up to the lock and swiped it's claws at the lock, turning it to stone while Mashyuu pointed at the lock and and it floated up to his finger. Aiming his finger up into the air Mashyuu whispered. "Rock Bullet." causing the stone lock to break and launch high into the air, leaving the chain to do nothing. Carefully Mashyuu opened the doors and pointed down a set of stairs. "Ladies first." Mashyuu motioned for Lynn to take the lead.

Once she was down the steps and Rocky was following Mashyuu twisted into the stairwell and shut the doors carefully behind the group. "...Can you see in the dark or do we need to find a fire or something?" Mashyuu asked. His nostrils flared up, committing Lynn's scent to memory in case the group were split up or had to find each other with senses other than sight. "Ux, you know anything about this church? Maybe the kinds of Wizards we would be running across?" He asked the ring on his finger. In response all Mashyuu got was silence and the Slayer frowned. Ux was fickle and sometimes chose to act as if the spirit never heard Mashyuu speak.

Lynn came in close and took a deep breath of Mashyuu's earthy/whisky like tone. He grinned and did the same back to the woman, this was a first for him. Normally he was the one taking in the scents of everyone and getting strange looks. The Wizard shrugged his shoulders as Lynn started moving down the stairs and talking about the priests and others inside the place. Mashyuu nodded up and down while musing to himself about the state of things. "Just as well... It's never easy is it. Here." Mashyuu reached out and grasped Lynn's shoulder. "Rise, Dark One." Mashyuu whispered and from the shadows a small little black imp with dark red eyes and sharp claws appeared between the two Wizards and looked about. "Master this one is.... Dark One likes this one. I won't eat her alive first....." Mashyuu slapped the Dark One upside the back of his head and grinned. "Go find a torch and bring it back here lit up." Mashyuu ordered the creature. Without a moment to think about it the monster vanished in a cloud of smoke and left the trio alone.

Slowly Mashyuu reached back and pulled the doors shut to make sure that nobody noticed anything strange happening at first. The Slayer took a glance around the room they were standing in while leading Lynn down the wooden stairs. "Oh hell..." Mashyuu whispered at the sight of what laid before the three. Soon the Dark One returned holding two torches that flickered with orange and yellow flame. It handed them to Lynn and wiggled it's dark eyebrows. The room was a mass graveyard. Coffins placed into the walls and idols to various gods jutted out of the ground. On the far end of the room rested another stair case leading to a tall, narrow door. Mashyuu glanced over to Lynn, feeling like maybe they would be facing some sort of undead if they weren't lucky. He flicked his right arm and a red and black gauntlet appeared over it. "You want this? Just in case we fight demons, devils or the undead?" The Dark One visibly recoiled at the sight of the Oni Gauntlet and gave Mashyuu an easy smile while Rocky trotted up to Lynn and rubbed it's head along her leg.

WC: 389

Mashyuu noticed how Rocky even seemed to like Lynn and he couldn't help but grin. "The last person Rocky nuzzled up to like that was my girl friend. I have always considered him a good judge of character. The Dark One on the other hand... He is an extension of me. He is the perverted and deranged side. So don't give him to much attention." Mashyuu explained while creeping around the cellar and looking for a flight of stairs or a ladder going up. "To late is is Master, she already likes the Dark One. Dark One show her a good time all night! Hehehehe!" The Dark One jested while jumping up and clicking it's heels together.

Mashyuu came to a ladder and glanced over his shoulder. "... Your lion will have his time to shine. Actually it might be best if he soared in through a window and tried to clear the place out. Ya know? Thin the ranks so nobody innocent gets hurt during whatever fight happens." Mashyuu explained. He looked up the ladder to a wooden door and furrowed his brow. "Wait here for just a sec.." Mashyuu seemingly exploded in a puff of smoke and re appeared on the ladder a minute or so later.

"Up top, is a small office. I locked the door and placed a chair in front of it so we have time to get in. Come on." Rocky spread it's small wings and flew up to the trap door while Mashyuu pushed it open. He watched as the Dark One trailed along behind Lynn and climbed up, never taking his eyes off Lynn's rear until Mashyuu snapped his fingers and commanded the creature to teleport to the top of the office.

The office the group entered was roughly thirty by thirty feet in space with a small desk in the far left corner. The desk itself was made of wood, likely oak and had a golden table cloth on it. A rolling red chair rested behind the desk and to it's right was a small trap door where the team were climbing out from. A small lamp rested by the door that was currently blocked off by a chair of metal propped up against it. "Well... What now?"

WC: 383

The moment Lynn asked about Mashyuu's girlfriend he nodded up and down and grinned while blushing hard. "Mmm yeah Kanix Laspor, she's an ace over at Fairy Tail. I fell in love with her the moment I saw her. As much as I like to flirt I could never feel the way I do about Kanix with anyone else." Mashyuu explained, he had barely had the guts to tell Kanix that and he sure as hell didn't want to tell Lynn Kanix was having his child.

"Oh yeah Dark One show you lots of things. He knows Party Tricks!" The little black imp replied to Lynn as the group continued on...

Once inside the small office Mashyuu frowned at the fact that the floors were made of wood. "Shit... Who makes floors out of wood in a church made of stone?" Mashyuu mused to himself annoyed. It was then that the door to the office was forced open hard, light filling the room in an almost unnatural way. An elder man in white robes that was trimmed with gold stood in the door way scowling at the Rising Stars and Slayers. After asking who Mashyuu and Lynn were Mashyuu took a half step forward and almost protectively placed his body between the man's and Lynn. Behind the man were a large group of guards that Mashyuu assumed noticed the door around back either shutting or saw the flying Lion. Maybe they heard the group moving under ground. It didn't matter since the Wizards came here to crush skulls.

"I'm Mashyuu, this is Lynn. You are part of the cult that killed my mother fourteen years ago. So... Lets do this." Mashyuu's body started to crackle with golden electricity, harnessing the power of his mothers armored jacket while Rocky took a low stance and started to growl. The man in white laughed proudly and took a step back while his guards started to file in the room. "Sorry to disappoint you children but I don't get my hands dirty unless I have to. These fine men will deal with you." And with a wave of his hand the old man walked off. "Dark One, Rocky, track him down and keep him in sight." The Dark One saluted Mashyuu and grabbed Rocky, vanishing in a plume of smoke as men and women guarding the Father all filled in the crowded room to surround the Slayers.

The Ten Minstrel’s all drew swords that were long and thin while The Earth Wizard realized how cramped it was. "Lynn jump.. Earth Dragons Tremor Stomp!" Mashyuu shouted out as his left foot came up and his blue eyes narrowed at Lynn to let her know it was time to jump as he dropped his foot down on the ground hard, forcing the wood to splinter and tremble while the ground shook hard, knocking over everyone in the room who didn't jump up in time.

With the spell cast Mashyuu leap't over a downed target and rolled into the churches large grand hall where while the floors were made of wood the pillars and walls were solid white marble. "This I can work with.."

WC: 527

Glass shattered and pulled Mashyuu's attention for a moment while a large, winged lion soared through the church and caught Lynn, allowing for her to swiftly join Mashyuu atop the beast. The Earth Slayer raised his brow for a moment while the Lion roared loudly, stunning the men who had fallen with clear bout of fear. Mashyuu's square jaw twisted in a smile when he thought about the Lion back at Hunter Village who also had a roar similar to the one at his flank. The men with swords carefully started to move towards the door, each watching Mashyuu and Lynn carefully.

With a roll of his eyes the Slayer extended his left palm and let a magical light erupt from it that forced magical rocks to fall at his feet and move forward to the doorway. "Rock Wall." He lazily muttered and allowed a wall of stone to burst up from the rubble his rocks created. Mashyuu rubbed his left arm over his forehead and winked at Lynn. "That wall isn't going to hold long. So if you have a spell that is good in a bottle neck now would be the time to set it up."

Mashyuu took a deep breath of air and walked over to the side of the wall that was currently being chipped away at when he held his head as if he were confused. "Damn it... The Dark One says the old man went up to the second floor of this place and locked himself in his grand hall. Worse over he has some fairly strong looking guards. We should deal with these punks fast." Mashyuu added. His head rolled on his neck, cracking bone while his right hand reached up and a silvered sword with two gun barrels along the blade materialized in his hand. The wall broke down and men came pouring out of it giving Lynn and her Lion the chance needed to do whatever it was she had planned. Once she was through Mashyuu came around the corner while swiping his left arm in a sweeping motion. "Earth Dragons Talons!" He called out and released a shock wave from his fingers that ripped through the first few targets and caused them to bleed while everyone else in the path of the shock wave were knocked to the ground.

WC: 393

Mashyuu stood speechless as Lynn danced her way with blade in hand killing all in her path. Rage surged up through the Wizard at the sight of needless killing. Mashyuu had only ever killed when there was no other choice in the matter and seeing people who didn't know that the Father was a Dark Wizard killed made Mashyuu want to snap Lynn's attractive neck.

Snarling as Lynn came closer to him Mashyuu went to grab the weapon but she dropped it to soon. Mashyuu glared at her and pointed to the dead men. "You're aware we are a Legal Guild right? No more killing Lynn. These men don't know that guy is a Dark Wizard and they have families. What makes us any better than the Dark's if we just go around killing people in cold blood?" Mashyuu scolded the Number One Rising Star and fellow Slayer.

Without saying another word he took a deep breath and headed to a flight of stairs while looking at the floor. "This place is backwards. The second floor is made of stone and the first is wood? Who does this?" Mashyuu asked while walking up the spiraling stairwell. With an off handed remark Mashyuu pointed to the fact the stairs went up around a pillar to their left. "Stairs are built like this to prevent soldiers from using their shields when trying to take a fortress. This might have once been a castle or something."

He wasn't sure if Lynn had sensed it but Mashyuu long ago embraced his Slayer roots and stopped when he heard the sound of men at the top of the steps, preparing for battle. "They know we're here. Lynn do you need a weapon?" Mashyuu both informed and asked while glancing up to make sure that nobody was coming down the steps for them. Casually he held his sword out to her and pointed to the single trigger on the hilt. "Fires two shots before it needs to recharge. Also.... If you hold this the world around you for about six meters moves slower, allowing you to react to attacks faster. If you activate it's magical ability the blade will drain strength from foes and heal your wounds. Don't drop the blade though or it can't be re summoned for a day." Mashyuu explained.

Once she decided if she wanted the blade or not Mashyuu started to spark with Golden energy and smirked. "I'm gonna catch em from behind. Try to catch them in a two pronged attack." With that the Wizard placed his hand to the pillar and melded into the wall, vanishing from sight.

WC: 445

"Eh? If you say so..." Mashyuu said in response to the reaction he got from Lynn about his bladed weapon. Suddenly he sank into the wall and a moment later his head popped back out. "Don't attack until you hear the explosion." Mashyuu added then vanished again... Swimming through the wall Mashyuu moved up the rounded stairs and past the two royal guards dressed in a white cloth that held the golden symbol of the sun on their chests. A long sword was strapped on their left hips and their faces were masked with golden helmets that had blank faces on the helms. Mashyuu swam past the guards to the other side of the door and places his hand on the wooden ground. Still sticking halfway out of the wall Mashyuu let dirt softly pour to the ground under the door. Softly Mashyuu whispered. "Secret Art: Earth Dragons Exploding Spike." He muttered then sank back into the wall to await his spells effect.

The dirt Mashyuu left with his gloves formed a thin spike that extended from under the door to rest between the two men. A moment later it exploded, blowing the doors apart, slamming the heavy wooden doors into the backs of the guards, forcing them to stumble down the steps a few paces while drawing their weapons. Mashyuu ejected from the wall and sent a flying kick into the jaw of one of the men, catching him off guard and forcing the man to the ground. Mashyuu grinned ear to ear and touched the wall, pulling a stone hammer of marble from the pillar. He whipped it around and aimed it at the guard who was pulling himself up off the ground. "Ya know, if you guys run now I can let you go without any injuries. If not this is gonna get bad for you." Mashyuu taunted, knowing Lynn was on her way and that Rocky and the Dark One were outside and waiting for Mashyuu's order to attack.

Both guards recovered, one rushing down the stairs to attack Lynn with his blade first. The Man standing in front of Mashyuu took a step back and pointed his blade at the Earth Wizard. "Ray of the Burning Sun." The guard said in a deep toned voice. An orange beam streaked across the stairwell and slammed into the wall behind Mashyuu as he ducked just barely. A large piece of the wall behind him melted like lava and started to burn the floor behind him. "Hey.... Very impressive man." Mashyuu mocked, he had already fought a man with Sun magic before. Granted Mashyuu had Kite to help him.

WC: 447

The man with Sun magic slashed at Mashyuu with a blade made of intense heat, Mashyuu ducked down and pushed his left arm up sharply, causing a wall of stone to slam from the pillar of stone and smash into the man's face. He cried out and held his face for a moment. Before he knew it his legs were out from under him and he was tumbling down the flight of stairs right towards Lynn. Mashyuu started down the stairs after the sun Wizard until he heard four thumps. He rounded the steps to see Lynn standing over two bodies with no heads. His eyes shut for a moment as he steeled his mind and body. The killing of these men were senseless but Mashyuu wasn't going to let the Father go the way he would have anyone else. "I'm taking down the Father, so you can either help or stay here. But I want his head." Mashyuu stated coldly while looking Lynn over and trying to not lick his lips.

He spun around on his feet and stalked up the steps. Slowly he entered the Father's office where the man stood waiting. The Dark One teleported into the room and placed Rocky down at Mashyuu's side then glanced back at Lynn. "Bye Bye Sexy, call me for a good time!" it stated then faded away into the Earth Wizards Shadow. Mashyuu watched the Father as he stalked across his office. Behind him was a large stained glass window of an angel with open arms and wings. The older man started to light up brightly and soon his furniture and decorations in his room had burned away. "Children, you have come to me. I hope you're ready to meet whatever god you choose to believe in because I promise you won't be leaving this church. I'll be sure to speak highly of you when you're buried out back."

This man had been one of the few who were responsible for killing Mashyuu's mother and he wasn't about to let the man walk away. His large hands clenched in anger while he considered his next move carefully. This man wasn't worth using Dragon Force on. No.... Mashyuu was going to just beat the ever living hell out of the man and possibly throw him through the window.

WC: 390

The ceiling caved in from above the Wizards and Lynn's pet came to a powerful landing behind Mashyuu, letting out a powerful roar and causing the Father to noticeably quiver in sudden fear. The Earth bound wizard stood proud, his shoulders squared up and jaw set firmly while his cat like sky blue eyes narrowed. "He's mine." Mashyuu whispered darkly and raced forward as fast as his legs could carry him. The boost to his physical power that not only his slayer blood gave him but his boots and gloves, carried him twice as fast along the ground as a Wizard of his rank. His body moved in a grey blur while a trail of golden electricity sparked off his body and left a streak in his movements. Just as Mashyuu closed the gap between himself and the Father Mashyuu used his right leg as a pivot point and spun around the Father. The Sudden motion brought Mashyuu around to the man's back where he slammed his clenched left fist into the Fathers kidney.

Roaring with pain the Father twisted and cried out. Mashyuu took a half step back and pointed to a pillar of stone that held the roof up with both of his index fingers. The pillars started to shake and ripped from the ground and roof, floating to Mashyuu's fingers and spinning around. "Dual Rock Bullet!" he called out and launched both of the pillars at the Father. The man spun around and placed a hand up, burning away one pillar with almost no effort while Mashyuu's second shot slammed straight into the Father, driving him back almost into the number one Rising Star in Fiore. In a flash of electricity Mashyuu was above the man and throwing his right arm towards him. "From my mother... Thunder Flash!" He shouted. A golden bolt of thunder slammed into the Holy Wizard and drove him through the floor of the office and into the ground level.

Mashyuu let himself fall through the hole in the ground and land atop the Father. In a blast of power he released a wave of super heated magic and blasted Mashyuu backwards and through a set of pews. The Dragon Slayer crashed and splintered wood while he rolled to the alter of the church and held his head. "Bravo son. I admit you put up a better fight than your mother. She was only a C rank Wizard when we got to her. I was a young killer back then. My how the times change. But I'll keep your body intact until the time is right to summon that demon. We know now how to summon the creature and you will be the last sacrifice." The Father boasted while he  stalked towards Mashyuu with a saber of fire. What the Father hadn't noticed however was that Mashyuu let his gloves spill stone and dirt and mix with the splintered wood from the benches Mashyuu was sent through. Slowly he pulled himself up to a seating position and smirked. "Heh.... Yeah well. Let me know how that works out for you. If you survive this! Earth Dragons Tomb!" He shouted. The stone and dirt that Mashyuu let fall from his gauntlets wrapped around the Father and constricted him, crushing bone and flesh until there was a terrible cracking sound inside the earth and a scream died out.

Mashyuu pulled himself up off the ground and stalked towards the earth as it fell apart and let the Father fall. He was still alive but it wouldn't last long. "I've never been the type to kill... But I'm going to wipe out your entire guild. I know who you are, how many are in it and who leads it. You're the first to go." Mashyuu threw two fingers up towards the downed Sun Wizard and slammed a stone spike through the man's chest and spine. "Secret Art: Earth Dragons Exploding Spike." The stone spike erupted and exploded inside the man, sending fragments of earth through the man's body and causing him to gargle blood as his life faded from his eyes.

Mashyuu stalked up to the hole he made and called out to Lynn. "See if he's got anything worth taking before we leave, I'll bar the doors." He ordered the woman who was still in the office that had once again taken on it's decorative form.

WC: 739

Mashyuu's body started to relax while he glanced up to see Lynn riding down with something bundled in her hand. He glanced over his shoulder to look at the dead man laying behind him. Lynn had said he did a good job and the Earth Wizard frowned. "...I don't feel good about it. Nor do I enjoy taking the lives of men. But these people need to be put down, they will unleash a terrible monster if they aren't and even before they raise the monster they will take the lives of man innocent people." Mashyuu said darkly. He heard the weapon fly through the air and reached his hand out to catch the item effortlessly. He smirked at the weapon and strapped it onto his back while cracking his neck. "Yeah, you go on ahead. Thanks for seeing this through with me. It was an honor to fight by your side. Watch that temper though." Mashyuu added with a smirk to his face.

Once Lynn had gone Mashyuu walked up to the dead Father and scooped him up in his arms. The Wizard dumped the body along with the bodies of the others into the basement with the Father. Swiftly Mashyuu locked the trap door and walked back to the hole in the ground. Rocky swept low and grabbed Mashyuu up by the shoulders. Rocky spread his wings and spiraled up into the air, eclipsing the sun with it's body for a moment. After a half second of floating there for a moment Rocky and Mashyuu rocketed out towards Fiore, kicking up mist from the water below them.

Back at the Sabertooth guild hall Mashyuu sat in his room, flipping through a small book he had that held the names of the Wizards responsible for his mothers death. On that list was a man who looked almost exactly like Mashyuu did now. His father. The name was scratched out but he would know those cold blue eyes anywhere. He closed the door to his room and tossed the book across the room and let it land it on the desk. The Slayer flopped on his bed and looked at the Dragon egg that rested in the corner of the room. Mashyuu could hear a heart beat inside the egg. "Soon...I wonder how the others are going to react to you." He muttered and placed the still clothed weapon next to the egg. It would be perfect for the dragon that was going to hatch and become Mashyuu's new partner once his daughter was born and Rocky was charged with keeping his daughter safe.
