The Castle Assassinations. || Sol, Yuiisai, & Rain. || Private.

High above the skies of the port city lurked the dragon king himself and he was more then ready to destory and kill as many people as he needed to while he was hear, catching the scent of Rain he smirked in dragon form before he then dove down towards the town itself before he suddenly burst into shadow and seemed to turn into a comet of shadow before it seemed to shrink and he would suddenly vanished when he got small enough and got close enough to the ground, since it was dark outside and many people were drunk no one believed what they saw. While it looked like Sol had vanished he had actually melded into the shadows as soon as he had come into contact with them.

From the corner of the alley Rain was in another man appeared and was very angry for some reason and her trespassing but before he could even make a noise a clawed hand shot out of the shadows and proceeded to rip the mans voice box out with little effort, from beside and slightly behind Rain Sol emerged from the shadows. He was dressed in a pair of black slacks with no shoes due to his clawed feet, he also had on a grey shirt and a black jacket and completed the look with a long red flame bandanna around his head which made his face gain a vicious look to it for some reason.”You called Rain” he said with an ever present smirk on his face.

Though they had been given limited freedom for the most part Yuiisai had remained within the room Sol had given them within his castle home, they where use to a certain way of life and hadn't really come to terms with being allowed the freedoms they now had though knew if they ever left the castle Sol himself would have to be informed. They however had left twice thus far on personal errands and not told Sol, but he seemed to be more annoyed about how they where dressed over actually leaving his home and not telling him. At the moment was filled with the scents of wild flowers that Aguya had brought to them, which suited them fine, they loved to make incense as it hid their magic type of magic from dragons and slayers knowing that each magic and type of magic had their own scents. They would rather their curse remain a secret that way it couldn't be abused by anyone for any reason.

At current they had several colourful silk balls and was juggling them singing a silly child's song that went with the game, a happy tone and grin on their face as they were content in everything at the moment. They had decided to wear a vibrant red and gold hanfu, their hair piece was two pieces of silk cord that matched keeping their hair neatly tied back; as they hadn't been expecting it when the door slid opened a little they miscalculated on one of the balls and it had landed on their head making them flinch before rubbing it. With a single opened eye they seen the handsome tall athletic figure of their attendant clad in a male hanfu of different shades of green his hair also tied back with a deep forest green silk cord. "Aguya, you really should announce yourself before entering; what if I was busy?" she scolded lightly to the other "You have not ever been busy since we where brought here Lady Yuiisai." he said honestly, they knew that Aguya was never one to pull their words and they where grateful in all honesty but then they could as much lie to them as they could Sol.

"I'll bare in mind however Lady Yuiisai." he said bowing his apology to which she returned it showing it was accepted to which he sat up straight "What brings you to my room?" they asked confused, watching as he brought out a letter "This was left for you, it seemed important." He said allowing Yuiisai to take the letter, breaking the seal they brought out the letter and began to read it. "Anything bad?" he asked the other, Yuiisai who shook their head "Not at all, it seems I've been invited to deal with a task by Rain as has Sol within the cloud sea but ships take a very long time to get place." they noted the time given to them "How am I going to get there by then?" they couldn't help but sigh picking up one of the juggling balls "I could fly you there." he said without a single thought of hesitation "Fly me?" they seemed puzzled by what their attendant had offered them "Well I am a dragon and though the earth part of me prefers to be rooted on the floor the poison side doesn't mind so much." he explained picking Yuiisai up as they nodded and headed for the window, opening it up they jamp out deep green wings sprouting from his back as he headed towards the destination.

After a few hours they managed to get to the allocated area his wings folding and vanishing back into his back as if they weren't even a thing keeping Yuiisai in his arms as he moved forward. "I can walk you know Aguya." they delicately scolded him, though he shook his head "Smell the air tell me the scent." he said calmly but the hugged teen knew there was something wrong thus done what they where told "I smell... a strong copper scent..." they said looking around for pipes or other things that could explain it. "It's blood." he stated in a matter of fact way "We don't know the cause and I would rather keep you like this s we can get out of here quickly if such a thing is required." his voice never wavered though he took note that Yuiisai nodded showing they understood his reasoning. Before look he seen two figures and where he recognised the nightshade of Sol the other's was new so moved forward cautiously "It's Rain and Sol, but Rain looks so different." they said not fighting Aguya's arms

"I got your letter Rain, Aguya insisted on accompanying me. I hope you don't mind." Yuiisai said their milky jade eyes looking at Sol for a moment before looking at Aguya he held them tighter almost possessively "A-Aguya are you alright?" they asked startled watching as the other shook his head leaning in whispering something so low not even Sol with his heightened hearing would be able to hear "I.. I see" they sighed moving out of Aguya's arms and standing on the ground "Okay we'll deal with that after this." they said holding onto the male's sleeve their eyes diverted, to be honest they just wanted to turn around and walk off after the brief conversation they had but knew they had committed to an obligation and needed to see it through before they done what they intended to. "Remind me to return the book I carry at the end Aguya." Yuiisai requested but Aguya removed it from the folds of the other hanfu and held it out to Sol "Seems this will no longer be needed." he said allowing it to be taken from him as he stood in front of Yuiisai.

Sol saw Yuiisai and Aguya appear and he bowed to them in greeting before he suddenly caught the interaction between the two and he sensed something was wrong but he decided he would deal with it later after the mission since it took priority. However when he was given a book and he gently nodded.’Thank you” he said before he placed it into a shadow portal and he nodded to Rain in greeting as well.”the only thing I plan to change is the looks on my victims faces from joy to terror” he said simply with a vicious grin on his face.

Once Drop and Drip started to explain the mission Sols smile vanished and he instantly became serious as he knew this was important and while he had discovered that he could now handle transportation the thought still made him slightly sick. "If we must use a boat then I can handle that but if the two are divine beings then this is a perfect job for myself and Yuu since I am a godslayer and I can sense that her magic is too.. I think” he said as he crossed his arms and glanced at Yuiisai for a moment as he questioned the nature of her magic. He still didn’t fully understand it.

When Rain asked for consent to join the mission Sol nodded.”I’ll join I hate the magic council and the more blood I can spill from them the better” he said as he cracked his neck and stretched his limbs to get ready for the action that was to come.

Aguya looked to the ones who stood in front of himself and Yuiisai quirking an eyebrow as he was spoken about as if he wasn't standing there. "You realise you could just ask me who I am, after all I am right standing here..." he said calmly but his tone was blunt "So I will ask that in future you ask me anything you wish to know about me and no the Lady Yuiisai, I am not a slave nor do I like being ignored as if I was one." he finished his tone never changing as he spoke, he kept himself between Yuiisai and the rest of those whom where there with them. "To answer your question as to who I am, my name is Aguya. I am the Lady Yuiisai's attendant." he said bowing a little, though his tone was far from a warning glaring at the mention of betrayal "Hmph... you are a fine one to speak of betrayal to someone like me whom you've never met and thus know nothing of, so I ask you keep such comments to yourself they could get you into trouble." he said looking back as he felt his arm being taken lightly, looking only to see Yuiisai shake her head he sighed "Very well." he said calming himself his eyes going to Sol briefly "I do dislike that side of my heritage." he said finding it despicable finding pleasure in someone else's pain and fear none the less he began moving forward escorting Yuiisai towards them a little.

The two listened to everything that was said about the task "I don't want to kill people, it's horrible... I feel sick and dirty every time I do it." Was all that Yuiisai would say moving to hug Aguya's arm making him look down to her with saddened forest green eyes wishing she didn't have to go through this but this was her life now and he knew it. "It is the price of the freedom outside the cage you where once within my lady." he explained his eyes going to Sol. He had explained the worry about the darkness and taint on Yuiisai the day they had met, but as any arrogant dragon more so as this dragon was a king who seemed to have in his mind what was best for someone he had known for under an hour at that time there was no reasoning with them. "I didn't ask to leave home Aguya I was asleep and it was forced on me, besides it hurt me less and I didn't have to do such dark and horrible things to people." she whispered to him, she hated this but she knew that this was what was expected of her wither she wanted it or not "I'll shield you from the taint of this new path I promise you, don't worry." he said his hand cupping her cheek a smile on his face, he would happily embrace the darkness and become evil if it meant he could remain who she was; he was happy as he seen the other nod to his words.

Her eyes went to Sol as he spoke of slaying divine and how it would be perfect for him as a godslayer and that he felt it in her magic but seemed unsure of his senses. Her eyes closed as she flinched turned her head away not wanting to speak of her magic "A-Aguya..." she whispered in the hopes he would understand her discomfort "My lord, please don't... it clearly makes her uncomfortable and upsets her when her magic is mentioned." he said simply noticing Yuii's mannerisms however slight they were, his tone was cold and stern on the matter which even for the blunt Aguya was unusual. "Can we get going... if I have to do this I want it done so I can leave." her voice stoic and cold as she walked towards the boat Aguya keeping close to her at all times. "You realise we could fly Lady Yuiisai and follow the boat." he whispered "It would not only tire you and alert them to our presence but makes you a target for spells cast... I won't allow you to be hurt if I can help it Aguya." a small smile on her face as her voice warmed to what it usually was her eyes looking to him as he nodded "I guess it was a bit of a silly thought." he chuckled rubbing the back of his head picking Yuiisai up and walking onto the boat finding a place to sit down hugging her close in the hopes she might get some rest.

Sol just scoffed slightly at Aguyas request but he nodded.”Fine Ill drop the subject” he said as he followed behind the two and Rain and was the last one on the boar, the dragon was fine untill the boat suddenly moved forward and the slayers face turned a very ugy shade of green before he then lurched forward and dashed towards the nearest side of the boar and proceeded to vomit over the side spiting up black venom.”Ugh I hate boats” he grumbled and hugged the side of boat before he heaved over the side again. Sol hated this aspect of his magic though eh hoped it would stop soon since his main magic was not dragon slaying magic.

‘This is insulting, me the dragon king brought to my knees by a boat’ he thought to himself as he dropped to the floor and turned to his side so Rain and the others couldn’t see his face. He hoped the time went fast so he could get his stomach to stop doing flips.

Even though Aguya had taken Yuiisai and himself onto the boat he hadn't went into the cabin as Rain had, instead he believed it would be better if he had found a safe place on the deck that would make sure the one he was tending to wouldn't be affected by the elements or ocean water if it started to become an issue. He knew at current the last place she wanted to be was near either of those on this job and thought it was a bad idea for her to continue on such a job considering the circumstances had changed since she had agreed. He knew that Yuii didn't want to do it either for not only personal hate towards her accursed magic but for who she was doing it with, but at the end of the day they had duties and would follow them through for now. He knew the moment that he spoke to Yuiisai on the shore that everything had changed, and though he most likely shouldn't have said anything he had already explained to Sol on the day of their first meeting that he would give his loyalty as long as she did but his loyalty laid with Yuii first and foremost.

Even outside both Yuii and Aguya heard the words Rain had Drip speak for her, Yuiisai turned her head away as if not wanting to speak to Rain but given what she had been told and her upbringing it was easy to see why. 'I swear, he asked me questions at the house and I answered them as plain as day yet he still manages to screw up something he shouldn't have been able to. Well he can't claim ignorance of the rules since I told him about this rule. What an idiot.' he thought to himself seeing his lady's movements knowing she didn't want to speak about such things he remained close but went to the door to speak on her behalf "You may wish to know such information but you do not need to know, nor does she wish to tell you. I ask that you leave it at that." his voice was blunt and straight to the point as he headed back to where he once but sat down drawing Yuiisai back into his arms hugging her close to protect her almost, he hoped that she would get some sleep so this would go quicker for her. His deep forest eyes looking up as he smelt a scent that was vile in his opinion, on searching the deck he seen just where it came from and couldn't help but quietly chuckle as he seen Sol being ill. "Wow, this must be embarrassing for you my lord..." he said watching him try to hide his motion sickness. "The powerful and almighty dragon king himself, who has one of the strongest dark guilds operating in Fiore... brought to his knees, not by a strong opponent, but by a mere mode of transportation." he chuckled a little more smirking "Must be humbling for one such as yourself." he said before looking down as Yuii curled closer to him, in honest he wanted this job over and done with so she wouldn't have to suffer to much.

Sol couldn’t help but feel himself get sick again and he quickly grabbed the edge of the boat and proceeded to empty his stomach along the side of the boat once again. It was then that he heard soft chuckling and then Aguya decided to mock him by bringing up how the boat was bringing him down and not a strong enemy. “Shut up Hatchling your gonna experience this once you get older” Sol hissed at the boy before he hit the ground again as his stomach twisted and bounced all over the place before another person came up to him and he managed to shift so he could see Drop above him and asked him politely if he wanted him to summon the spirit from the card that had healing magic which could help him .

Sol glanced at the boy before he nodded.”go ahead if it can cure motion sickness then it will help me out immensely” he said as he would wait for the summon to cast the spell and once he was fixed up he sighed before he stood and he glared at Aguya.”just so you know your going to pay for that little jab in training hatchling mark my words” he growled as he opened up a shadow portal and pulled out a bottle of water before he took a swig and gargled before he spit over the side of the boat.”I hate motion sickness” he grumbled as he stretched a bit. Sol looked at Drop before he bowed his head a bit. “Thank you for that and let Rain know I owe her for helping me out “ he told the demon womans servent since he knew that most of the time he couldn’t fight on ships and the sort due to his dragon slaying magic making him extremely sick.
