the boy and the suit

the next day

the next day the void essence wakes up Leo by shaking him violently because he can control Arcturus Leo waking up from the shaking then says, “im up im up” the void essence turns Arctururs around and says in perfect english, “get in” Leo then without a word gets dressed and gets in Arcturus and Leo then hears a knock on the door the person whos knocking then says, “helloo you awake yet can i come in?” Leo then says, “yes” then the person opens the door it's Ryoko she then says, “what was that shaking were you being shaked or were you shaking someone else” Leo then says, “my suit is the one who shook me awake” Ryoko then says, “wait is your suit alive?” Leo then says, “yes and no in a way it's alive” Ryoko looks confused “is it an A.I” Leo then says, “nooo he's ancient and in no way is an A.I” Ryoko still confused then says, “can he talk” Leo then says, “yes but he only talks when he wants to and it seems like only I can understand him when he speaks his language” Ryoko tilts her head and says, “what language does he speak” Leo then says, “I don’t know i'll ask him wh-” as Leo says that he gets cut off by the void essence saying out loud for both Ryoko and Leo to hear and the void essence said, “the language I speak is dead but its name you should recognize dragon born it is Elder Futhark” Ryoko hearing this has a surprised look on her face she then bows like the void essence is a king or god the void essence than says in a language Leo can’t understand, “ᛌᛐᛆᚿᛑ ᛑᚱᛆᚵᚮᚿ ᛒᚮᚱᚿ ᛐᚼᛂᚱᛂ ᛁᛌ ᚿᚮ ᚿᛂᛂᛑ ᚡᚮᚱ ᚡᚮᚱᛘᛆᛚᛁᛐᛁᛂᛌ ᛁ ᛆᛘ ᚿᚮ ᛚᚮᚿᚵᛂᚱ ᛦᚮᚢᚱ ᛚᚮᚱᛑ ᛐᚼᛁᛌ ᛒᚮᛦ ᚼᛆᛌ ᛔᛂᛆᚴᛂᛑ ᛘᛦ ᛁᚿᛐᛂᚱᛂᛌᛐ ᛁᚡ ᛦᚮᚢ ᚥᛁᛌᚼ ᛐᚮ ᛁᚮᛁᚿ ᚢᛌ ᛦᚮᚢ ᛘᛆᛦ” Ryoko looks surprised like she heard something she thought she would never hear she then said, “is it truly fine for me to tag along with you my lord” the void essence then says, “ᛆᛌ ᛚᚮᚿᚵ ᛆᛌ ᛁᛐᛌ ᚡᛁᚿᛂ ᚥᛁᛐᚼ ᛚᛂᚮ” Ryoko then looks at Leo who while they were talking got out of Arcturus she then says, “is it fine if I tag along Leo with you on your journey” Leo then ponders this question for a bit then says, “sure I don’t mind” her face was filled with worry now was replaced with a smile of gratitude she then says, “thank you so what shall we do now” as she said this she started rising from her formal bow Leo then says, “well first we gotta get you a travel card which I believe we can get you assigned one in the mercenaries guild” she then nods then Leo gets back into Arcturus he walks out and Ryoko follows him they get downstairs and then proceed to walk out as they do this the innkeeper says, “have a nice day!” Leo then says, “you too” they then proceed to the mercenaries guild as they enter eyes were on Leo and Ryoko they both then walk up to the receptionist and Leo says, “I would like to get my friend here a travel card” the receptionist then says, “sure but that would be 12 gold coins” the amount was obviously a scam Leo noticing this then says, “are you trying to scam us? Cause if you are I can just break your face into the counter so how about the actual price” the receptionist hearing this saw what he did yesterday and his attitude quickly changed the receptionist then says with fear in his voice stuttering, “h-h-h-h-hey I-I-I w-w-w-was j-j-just k-k-k-kidding p-p-pal i-i-i-its o-o-o-one s-s-s-silver c-c-coin” Leo then says, “good” and hands him 1 silver coin the receptionist hurries to get a blank travel card so not to annoy Leo once the receptionist got it and put it on the counter with a pencil Leo moves aside for Ryoko and says, “you can sign it now” Ryoko then says, “thank you” she starts writing her name on it and Leo then says, “were done here now lets go”Ryoko nods and follows Leo with her travel card once they leave the mercenary guild Leo and Ryoko walk to the front gate they got by pretty quickly as they got back on the road to go to the next country Ryoko asks, “did you get a map Leo” Leo then says, “no my map is in my suit” Ryoko nods they continue walking but while walking a group of bandits appear in front of them the bandit leader says to them with arrogance, “give us your money and that girl and well let you go” Leo obviously annoyed at this sudden appearance of these bandits he then says, “no” the bandit leader annoyed says, “fine if you won’t give the girl and yer money then . . . WE’LL HAVE TO TAKE IT BY FORCE SQUAD 1 GET HIM” Leo sighs because they may have squads but they have no tactical plan whatsoever and as he's thinking this he gets interrupted as one of their iron swords break on Arcturus as this happens he grabs the bandit by the face and starts crushing it Leo not afraid of killing crushes the bandits head blood splattered all along the suits arm his brain was obliterated and chunks of it are laying on the ground his eyes are scattered in pieces chunks of his skull lie on the ground still with the bandits skin and muscle and hair his jaw is still attached and the guy falls on the ground the entire team of bandits all were scared and grossed out by how that happened the image most likely etched deep into their minds if they survive then the void essence says, “leave the rest to me” Leo nods and he then says, “what are you going to do?” the void essence replies, “summon my creatures” Leo confused and before he can say anything the void essence chants something that no one can understand except Uthark me, “ᚳᚩᛗᛖ ᚠᚱᚩᛗ ᛏᚻᛖ ᛋᚻᚪᛞᚩᚹᚣ ᛞᛖᛈᛏᚻᛋ ᚠᛖᛖᛞ ᚩᚾ ᛗᚣ ᛖᚾᛖᛗᛁᛖᛋ ᛏᚻᛖ ᛈᚱᛁᛗᛖ ᚻᚩᛚᛚᚩᚹ ᚳᚪᛚᛚᛋ ᚣᚩᚢ ᚳᚩᛗᛖ ᚠᚩᚱᛏᚻ ᛗᚣ ᚹᚩᛁᛞ ᛈᚱᚩᚹᛚᛖᚱᛋ” and once he's done 4 humanoid creatures their main body is covered in black like scales with some spines like a stego but with spines down the middle which are colored a sky blue except a little darker their heads don’t seem to have eyes and no lips showing their teeth they are slouched down on all fours but they look like they can still stand their bodies are semi thin with claws on the ends of their hands and feet Ryoko then realizes what they are she then says, “sir you summoned the void prowlers when your strength alone is enough” the void essence then says, “i know this is a practice since its been so long and VOID PROWLERS SLAUGHTER THESE BANDITS” and once its done saying this the void prowlers start slaughtering the bandits like cattle in the most brutal way imaginable making a blood bath while they are doing this Leo disconnected the arm of Arcturus since its covered in blood there's a nearby stream Leo starts washing it with a cloth he just has in his pocket dimension and once it was clean he puts it back on and the bandits except the bandit leader were slaughtered the bandit leader was about to be killed till a arrow hits one of the void prowlers but the arrow bounced off and the person who did it said, “interesting my arrow bounced and it was made to pierce prowlers but thats weird its day yet their not burning and the colors off something isn’t right” the person is wearing a ragged hood with armor colored purple with a crossbow with an arrow of unknown material their wearing a mask the mask has the look of an oni the person has a great sword and a scythe on their back the scythe hilt is purple while the blade is magenta and their greatswords hilt is also purple and the blade is magenta as well their entire attire has purple and magenta the magenta being sharp parts while the purple is the rest of the body the void prowlers obviously did not like this but they were stopped by the void essence the void essence then says, “void prowlers return to the darkness of the eternal void” once he got done saying this they just started to disappear slowly like their going through a portal and the other person sees this and realizes what's happening and runs away very fast Leo doesn’t chase after neither does Ryoko Leo then says, “let's set up camp” as he does this he calls Arcturus’s case it comes out of the sky like it was in space and lands right next to Leo Leo then starts preparing the camp whi- “ᛋᚩᚾ ᚹᚻᚪᛏᛋ ᚷᚩᛁᚾᚷ ᚩᚾ ᚹᚻᛖᚱᛖ ᚪᛗ ᛁ ᚹᚻᛖᚱᛖ ᚪᚱᛖ ᚣᚩᚢ ᛋᚩᚾ” what how how are you here
