"Blood Sign: The Heiress"

Chapter Twelve - Damnation.

"Hyuga still hasn't returned..." Kaptur sighed, looking at the moon through a small window.

She sat in the chapel at the very top and waited for commands from Daimei. The fact is that the latter gave Hyuga two hours to bring that same "unusual Yoma" to the city. If it is not completed on time, one of the remaining members of the Trimission - Kaptur - will take over.

-Suddenly, the door opened and a masked messenger entered the room.

"What?" asked Kaptur.

"A message for you from Lady Daimei." The short guy in the raincoat said, sitting down on one knee.

After reading the contents of a small scroll, Kaptur, descending from the chapel, climbed onto a horse that was waiting for her at the exit along with a dozen soldiers.

"At ease." Kaptur waved it off.

"We wish you a safe journey!" someone shouted.

Kaptur said nothing and just started moving. Ten minutes later they were already in place, the path led them to a clearing where they found Hyuga near death.

"Eternity bless you!" Jumping from her horse, Kaptur rushed to the body of her comrade.

Iona was not there. She left, left as soon as she could. The lack of karma really almost killed her, however, although she lost consciousness, she was able to survive. The karma from the sphere that fell next to the girl itself reached out to her and was able to reach the hostess in some time. Having woken up, Iona, without even coming to her senses, jumped to her feet and ran as far as she could at that moment. Having reached the mountain, Iona, ignoring everything, climbed as high as possible and wandered into some cave. Falling to the cold ground exhausted, she cleared her throat and lay down on her back. Listening to the silence, Iona slowly recovered and came to her senses.

"Okay... okay..." She whispered, covering her face with her hands. "I'm fine, fine."

Hyuuga suddenly opened his eyes and exploded.

"Stitches!" Kaptur, standing nearby, shouted.

- Huh?!

"Stitches, idiot!" The girl hissed, running up.

But it turned out that the guy was completely fine, the stitches were intact, nothing bothered him.

"Why did you blow yourself up like that?" After making sure that Hyuna was safe, Kaptur calmed down a little.

"Yes... I just had a dream." Hyuga waved it off, putting his palm to his head.

- A dream?

"More like a nightmare." The guy nodded.

-About what? Was there someone there?

-Was...was...-Hyuga sweated and got nervous.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Turning, Kaptur said.

A tall young lady in a beautiful, neat robe entered the room.

- D... Dai...-

"Such a brutal attack on a member of the Trimission is a brazen crime, you can't just forget about it, your experience, Hyuga, helped me understand two things." The mysterious woman said, calmly looking at the guy lying in the bed.

Kaptur was still under the impression, she was nervous and slightly twitched her hand.

"First," the woman raised her right hand and extended her index finger. "You are weak." I have lost my former greatness and disgraced my Daimei, please, do not allow yourself such stupid and frivolous behavior in the future. And secondly... No matter who you fight, she is really strong, smart and unpredictable. You, as the main defenders of Daimei, must provide your parts of the city with proper protection. I will take care of what is behind the walls.
