The Summoner's Vendetta (First Draft) (Book Two)

The Hope of a People

By the time that Mita had finished binding the wrists of their last prisoner, Sin had watched the last enemy fall to the blade of one of the soldiers that were wearing the crimson and gold attire. Considering that he was watching the remainder of the battle so intently, this allowed him to see that the moment the last enemy fell to the ground; the remaining soldiers started making their way towards them.

At first, Sin thought that this meeting would go well though considering that they had their hands clenched upon their weapons; he now assumed that they thought he and his companions were enemies as well.

Sin wasn't the only individual who noticed the soldiers and as he was preparing himself for this potential alliance to turn bloodier than it already was; the remainder of his companions surrounded him and Mita. Staring at his companions who were quick to put themselves in danger for him, Sin could see that everyone of them had some sort of injury from the battle plastered across their body.

Never being one to allow his friends to do the fighting even if they were at full strength, Sin pushed himself through the gate that they formed in front of him. Both Lucius and Castien started to speak against his doing this though their words died upon their tongue before they could voice them when Sin waved them off.

Now that Sin's vision was no longer clouded by his companions, he could see that the soldiers had stopped a short distance away from them and as he was making his way forward; one soldier broke free from their ranks and started to do the same. Both Sin and this unknown soldier met in the middle of the two groups and the moment that they did, his voice started to flutter around the two of them.

"It's a pleasure to meet you though coming towards us with your weapons drawn isn't a polite way to thank us for helping you win this battle." Sin spoke out as he examined the being that stood before him.

From this examination of the soldier that stood before him, Sin was able to determine that the being was male as well as human. Though the human seemed younger than the others that were behind him, the man had a sense of authority about him that forced Sin to assume that the man oversaw these soldiers.

"We didn't come here for you, but for those bastards that you have captured!" the soldier growled out as he started to take a step forward.

Considering all the work that Mita and himself had gone through to capture these members of the Pure Regime, Sin wasn't going to allow someone to take them especially since they could be useful in gaining intel about the organization that they are at war with. The moment that the leader of these soldiers took a step, Sin's moved the hand that held his dagger and as he did so; he forced mana as well as the remainder of Inari's element which caused the dagger to become a longer blade once again. 

When this process was over, everyone gasped in surprise at what they saw. Sin stood with his arm outstretched and his blade firmly placed upon the throat of the soldier before him. While it was clear that every soldier wished to jump to their leader's defense, none were willing to risk their leader by stepping forward considering that it would only take a twitch of Sin's hand to spill his entire volume of blood within seconds.

"I would have figured considering that you are older than myself and my companions, that you would have learned to say please when you come upon something that you wanted..." Sin growled as he watched the soldier's hand that held his weapon twitch as if he were about to swing it. Wishing to keep this from happening, Sin pressed harder against the soldier's throat which painted a streak of crimson upon his pale skin. "...though regardless of what you originally thought you were going to accomplish here, since we were the ones who captured these Pure Regime members; we will be keeping them considering that I believe that they would be more useful alive than as another corpse littering these streets!"
