Drakengard Anomaly: The Tale of an Angel and an Intoner

Chapter 7 - Answering Questions

My body, everything hurts!

"Alan!"

I didn't expect that using Noir's power for the first time would be so painful!

"Alan!"

Where am I anyway? Everything is dark. The last thing I remember is fighting the assassins and that Rose killed someone.

"Alan!"

And then...

"Alan!"

And then...

"Alan!"

"WHAT!" I screamed irritated, waking up abruptly.

I found myself face-to-face with a wide-eyed Rose after opening my eyes; she stepped away from me scared.

I sighed after realizing what I did, mentally cursing, I looked around, realizing we were in a strange room.

Now I remember what happened after the fight. We came to the inn, the same one we stayed in when we arrived in Cagliamola.

"I'm sorry Rose... *COUGH*, *COUGH*" I coughed mid-speech, seeing blood after taking my hand away from my mouth.

"Alan!" Rose screamed, approached me worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, using magic for the first time got to me, but I'll get better with time." I reassured her with a pained smile,

"Speaking of magic, explain it now!" Rose demanded, changing her attitude and pointing at Rubrum and Noir. Rubrum was on a table in the room while Noir floated beside Rose.

"Lord Alan! How do you feel?" Noir asked worriedly, approaching me.

I appreciate the concern but I wish he wouldn't act as if he was my servant.

"I'm fine Noir, just tired." I said laying back on the bed and turning towards Rose who stared at me angrily with crossed arms.

"I think you want an explanation." I said to her.

"Yes! Who are you? Where are you from? How can you use magic? And what the fuck are these books?" Rose demanded, making question after question.

"Hey! Language! And don't insult Noir and Rubrum, they are my friends." I screamed back.

Rose quickly approached me and smacked my forehead with her closed fist.

"OUCH! I think I deserved it." I said, rubbing my forehead.

"You dare?" Noir screamed, approaching Rose and making her step away surprised.

"Calm down Noir, she didn't hurt me." I said, trying to avoid another disaster.

"As you wish Lord Alan." Noir replied, returning to his previous location.

"The way I talk is the least of our problems! Now answer my questions!" Rose said angrily, crossing her arms again and sitting down on a chair facing my bed.

"Very well, I'll answer your questions, but for that, I'll have to tell you about past events that happened in my homeland, better get ready because it's going to be a long story."

"I'm all ears." Rose sighed.

"Right, the events happened before I was born. One day in one of the greatest cities of my homeland a dragon and a giant monster fell from the sky."

"A dragon?" Rose asked surprised.

"Yes, a dragon. The two fought in the moment they fell from the sky, according to the rumors, the sound of bells echoed throughout the city, and white and black circles collided in the sky in some kind of fight."
