Legacy of the Half Blood

Chapter 3: Bees!!!(Kinda)

When Kyle and the gang reached the village, the entrance was decorated with streamers and lanterns.

  The village mainly survives by farming despite the forest bustling with wildlife just ahead east.

  (E/C) 0.0 Their vegetarian?)(A/C) They still eat meat they just don't hunt very often. -_- And to become an Elder that person had to become a vegetarian,  so yeah)

  The fields were stationed at the south and west of the main communist area of the village. Every year, the village elders would hold a harvest festival in celebration of the once every year harvest.

  "Hey guys look! It's Kori!" May waved at a girl with sky blue hair and eyes. She was dressed in a white kimono with heavy make-up on.

  "What's with the make-up, Kori?" Kyle asked as he tried to hold back his laughter. "Yeah, I totally LOVE these long, heavy eyelashes." Kori said sarcastically while rolling her eyes. "You do know that I have to wear make-up for the festival right, Kyle?"

  "Yeah I know, I still think it looks hilarious on you though." Kyle replied.

  While Kyle and his friends were having fun, a messenger ran towards a old man with a huge long beard standing in front of a tent. "Elder Quatre, there have been reported sightings of Skiraxes(Grasshoppers/Locust that have the stingers of bees) coming from the north-west direction."

  "What? Just before the harvest festival? It couldn't be.  Are you certain that this isn't a false alarm from a neighboring village?" The elder's voice had a serious tone to it.

  "No, I'm afraid not, Elder Quatre. This message was sent by capital when the Skiraxes appeared at their border." The messenger replied.

  "This is going to be a major problem... Quick notify the other elders to meet me at the hall for an urgent meeting." The elder commanded before walking off.

  Meanwhile, Kyle overheard the whole conversation. 'This is definitely going to be a problem,' Kyle thought. 'How am I going to destroy them without the others noticing?' While in deep thought, he didn't notice Kori staring at him with the corner of her eyes...

  "What do you think we should do, Elder Un? You are the boss here." Elder Trios asked Elder Un. There are 5 elders, Elder Un, Deux, Trios, Quatre and Cinq. "Hmm... This is troublesome."

  Elder Un finally replied. "Elder Cinq, continue the preparations for the festival and try to harvest the crops as fast as you can. So as to not raise a panic in the village. Elder Deux, you'll need to go and inform the head guard to set-up the village's defenses for us." Elder Deux and Cinq nodded their heads in understanding as they stood up and left the building.

  "You two will come with me to activate the force field." Elder Un said to the rest. As the village got prepared for the attack, the three elders were standing on top of a circular platform with carved ancient ruins as they saw black moving dots in the distance.

  "Gentleman, recite with me!" Elder Trios shouted.

  "Protector vechi, eu Te chem. Proteja pământurile noastre de relele dincolo!" A giant translucent dome encased the whole village. 

  Meanwhile, in a small jungle towards the north-west, Kyle was darting around and about on the giant tree branches(A/C)Naruto :P). 'The spell's effect should be still effective from here.' Kyle thought as he stopped on a tree branch and could see the giant swarm of Skiraxes. Kyle had stashed some crops into his bag from the village and was about to put a spell on them to hopefully attract some of the Skiraxes to him. 

  "Dulce miros." The crops started smelling so sweet that it could be compared to the taste of a cake. In an instance, nearly half of the insect swarm started charging towards him, attracted by the sweet fragrance. 'Worked better than I thought it would' Kyle thought as he was preparing a large AOE spell. As the swarm closed in, he yelled.

  "Incinerați în cenușă!" And in the middle of the swarm a giant fire burst out and burned all the Skiraxes into ashes. However, it worked a bit too well and ended up setting the nearby trees into flames. "Oh crap. I don't know any water spells." Kyle said to himself as he watched tree by tree catching fire.

  "Spargere apă." A calm voice chanted behind him as fast gushes of water extinguished the burning fire, leaving ashes behind. "Well, well, I didn't know our dear leader here," she tapped Kyle's shoulder from behind and continued, "Is a fire starter?"

  "Kori?" Kyle called as he turned around in surprise. "What are you doing here?"

  "Well there's the fact that you are acting really strange since we were 4, and at this point of time I should reintroduce myself." Kori said thoughtfully. "Shimizu Koriyu, Elemental." She said with a cute little smile and reached out her hand.

  "Kyle Typhon, half-dragonborn." He said as he brushed ashes off of his pants and took her hand.
