Spectral Regalia

Ch 42: Annoyance

Avrin seemed to shake his head as he chuckled at Ayame's words. He continued to pack some pre-made rations and began to plan tools he may need. Ignoring Ayame completely. Ayame waited for a few seconds before releasing avrin had no intention of replying to her. In fact, to her, it seemed he was ignoring her. She clenched her fists.

"Avrin don't ignore me!!" She furiously yelled which made Avrin's ear twitched as if her voice irritated him. She continued her short rant. "I'm more than capable of joining teacher and you on this journey!!" Avrin's eyebrow twitched as he stood up and placed the sack he had bought before at the town, and now another one that was larger and wasn't enchanted that he had made during his training, on his shoulder. "Ayame, please shut up..."

Avrin spoke casually as he walked passed her with a satisfied smile on his face. He had no obligation to answer her, only replying to her irritation that affected him. Ayame's jaw dropped as she had never heard Avrin be so openly annoyed at her.

It confused her. Considering whenever she wanted to fight him he flirted with her and used that to make her give up and flee.

"W..What did you say!" She called out as she followed behind Avrin who was walking down the hall, passing servants that bowed to them both. "Ayame you seem to misunderstand some things. One-it wasn't my choice to let your so called teacher join me.

Two-I despise her with all my heart. Three-I'm sure we both have better things to do then babysit someone who thinks a journey to see the most powerful creature on Seleria is something you're capable of. And luckily, four-you have been too aggressive towards me so consider this a bit of revenge." He spoke while looking back to grin at her.

She seemed to stop following him as she was speechless, yet again her face turning red, this time out of frustration. "You bastard..." She huffed and walked off knowing there was no way for her to go with them on the journey.

Avrin didn't want to waste time which was why he was preparing now for the journey. He expected Syrana to do the same but it seemed she was outside, speaking to Myra, who seemed to be engaged in a serious conversation with her around the corner of the dojo. Avrin only picked them up on luck as he passed a window that showed around it.

Avrin didn't hesitate to augment his ears just encase the conversation involved him, and he was right to do so as he picked the conversation up hearing Syrana speak. "Myra, I don't trust that guy. He brought nothing but trouble for us before.."

Myra huffed and folded her arms. "Syrana, your worry is indeed right as he does have a cloud of bad luck hanging over him. And that tablet...It had more than what I told him.."

Avrin's eyes widened as he balled his fists. Whispering to himself "Calling me bad luck when you were the one who captured me to begin with. And then lying about the contents of the tablet" He glared as he continued to listen.

"Syrana, Lang was given the sky metal not just as a gift but because my grandfather felt an ominous power from it. As if it were alive. The tablet from him spoke of it corrupting the minds of those who didn't have power to resist it.

And even then it seemed to weaken his body. I wonder why he didn't destroy it though" Myra began to think to herself before Syrana spoke.

"Hmm... If it corrupts minds, isn't it possible that for the time he was with it, that it gained enough influence over him as to not be destroyed?" Myra stood quiet for a second before nodding "That's a possibility."

Syrana seemed to think as her eyes narrowed "Myra, why did you agree to even let him obtain something so powerful to begin with. Who knows what he might do with it.." Myra smiled and spoke "I have a feeling that it's fate Syrana. Besides, I'm certain he doesn't know how to forge it, and he may become a valuable ally.
