Mind Reality of Eclipse

Beginning That Search, Right? ~ Chapter 130

"Alright, I think the entire situation is finally solved after so long," Shez said with a smile. The heroes nodded as they looked over to the Town. Lots of people were helping with rebuilding the town but it didn't feel right. None of the other heroes were there to help, and they were wasting their time.

Kirby sighed, "It's been so long since we last heard from Claude. Did he lie to us?"

"Claude definitely isn't the type of person to go out of his way to lie to anyone, I just believe that he got tied up with his duties. He is the king of Almyra as well as the leader of leicester, which he kinda abandoned. Not to mention he is the spouse of the Exalt of Ylisse, Claude has a lot on his hands," Celica explained.

Kirby sighed, "You make a fair point, I wish Claude just told us more about this in advance, that he was going to be delaying a little because he's busy."

"Maybe he got so busy he was unable to reply to us as well. It's just a possibility just by even considering how many roles he has in his life," Celica replied with a small smile. The heroes nodded as they looked back at the town. Citizens were just more than happy to help with the project.

Veyle sighed, "So much has happened over the last couple of days, Marth being revived and burning down the town. Mario being revived and attempting to kill us, what's next? Is someone else going to be revived?" The heroes looked at Veyle and then turned away from each other in worry.

Alcryst muttered, "I really hope that nobody else gets revived, that's one of my biggest fears of fighting a hero or someone that's supposed to be long dead..." The heroes nodded sorrowfully as they heard the sound of wings flapping in the distance.

"Hang on, do you guys hear that?"

Kirby asked, "The wings flapping? That sounds like..." The heroes looked over only to see Claude gliding through the air. He waved down to the heroes and then landed onto the ground. "Claude! There you are!"

Claude laughed, "Sorry it took me a long time to get the wyverns necessary. Not only did we not have enough but I also ran into a lot of stuff to take care of in both Almyra and Ylisse. But most issues are taken care of and I'm free to join you guys!"

"What a pleasant surprise Claude! We're so grateful you're here to help us!" Celica said with joy in her voice. Claude nodded as he turned around to face the town.

Claude murmured, "I heard of what happened to the Town. Set on fire by someone... how awful is that?"

"Um... not to push it on Claude but that was actually done by Marth," Kirby laughed nervously. Claude stared at him in confusion. "I know, Marth should've been long dead you think. But in truth Zethus Byleth managed to find a way to corrupt him and use his body as one of the disposal."

Claude groaned, "Th-The disposal?! What the hell are those anyways!?"

Kirby explained, "They are creatures made from people who have passed away. Marth and Mario were few we encountered as well as other citizens being used for this strategy, how awful must that be?"

Claude said with sorrow, "It must be awful... but Zethus? Has he really made his return!?"

Shez nodded while explaining, "Indeed he has, he has corrupted Byleth's body in order to use him as a vessel. He's been doing this ever since the wedding and we're doing all we can to stop him from winning."

"That man never knows when to quit now does he? Is he unaware that Chrom won this war fair and square?" Claude questioned.

Celica laughed, "Funny you say that, I believe he fully doesn't care that Chrom won the war fair and square. He just wants to find a way to get rid of all the heroes. I suppose he's just jealous we're always finding ways to come out on the top."

Claude laughed, "I guess so! Well I guess I should stop asking questions and we should get going in order to find that castle. It's going to be a long ride so buckle up and trust me, the wyverns are perfectly safe and friendly!"

"Alright! Let's get going then! It feels so exciting to go flying on a wyvern again!" Kirby cheered. The other heroes nodded as they got ready to get on the wyverns. However, they were interrupted.

"NOT A CHANCE!!" An axe was thrown and it nearly hit Kirby in the process. The heroes looked over and it was none other than Rafal. They had no choice but to stop what they were doing and get down.

Each of the heroes pulled out their weapons as Kirby threw the axe back at Rafal. He grabbed it and smiled at the heroes, all of them prepared to fight.
