Dark Prince

Chapter 17: Heroes!

Riptide was surprised when Gray and the others came back too quickly, He was thinking that maybe they retreated from the battle, since He knows how strong Baalberith i.

Riptide: W-what happened?! why did you came back so quickly?

Dante: Relax! the sooner the better right?

Riptide: Wait?! do you mean?..

Gray: Yeah! We defeated the Centurion, so you don't have to worry about anything.

Luke: Easy peasy, most of us didn't even need to lift a finger.

Virgil: Since that moron is the only one who fought with the Centurion.

Reid: Didn't even last more than five minutes.

Dante: Ha Ha Ha! Are you talking about how strong i am? Ha Ha Ha!

Max: Ok ok, we know already, so shut the hell up, you are so annoying.

Riptide: I can't believe it, you really have defeated the Centurion Baalberith, i have to inform the others.

Riptide took out a shell from his bag, then he blowed it like a war horn.

Eli: Huh? what did you do? did you blow it properly?

Gray: Maybe it makes a different noise, that only them can hear it.

Riptide keeps blowing on the shell.

Dante: Can you guys hear that?

Luke: Yeah! I can hear it, a loud splashing of water.

Reid: I don't like the sound of that.

Virgil: Be ready guys! specially you Luke, that's a lot of water.

Luke: Oh Shit! I totally forgot that we're underwater, No no no no!!! Eli cast the spell you did earlier.

Max: Calm down you stupid mutt! Can you see any water here? we haven't entered the middle realm yet!

Gray: So it means, water cannot enter here, since there are ancient spells placed here, I think.

Then the whole place became so dark, it was suddenly engulfed by shadows.

Riptide: Don't worry they're my people.

Riptide spoke in Naga language, then the Nagas scattered, some of them went to the inner realm, and some on the outer.

Gray: Where are they going? what did you say?

Riptide: I told them, that we need to prepare a banquet for our heroes.

Eli: Heroes?

Dante: Yeah what do you mean heroes? it's only "HERO".

Virgil: You bastard! just shut up!

Riptide: Well, you defeated the Centurion who is terrorizing our realm, so we should atleast prepare a banquet for our heroes, were sorry if we don't have any treasure or anything else to offer, as you know, our realm has just been conquered, so all of our resources were taken.

Gray: No Riptide, a banquet is already too much, besides our goal was too look for Raven, it was just a coincidence that we need to meet this Centurion, kick his butt and supposedly ask some questions.

Reid: But some genius here sent the Centurion to hell without asking any questions.

Max: And thanks to that genius, were stuck again, so we need to go into another realm.

Dante: Ahe he he! (laughing in shame) Ahem! No need to call me a genius, I was just too strong for him that he got dragged too easily.

Eli: Just shut up you arrogant jerk! for now let's enjoy what the Nagas are preparing for us, we haven't eaten anything since we left home.

Luke: I miss Mother's cooking, I wish I asked for some packed lunch from Mother.

Virgil: Yeah! Thanks to some genius here again for that, Mother was actually preparing something for us, but that genius said that we don't need it, because we can provide for ourselves.

Max: WHATTT!!! Dante you stupid moron!!!

Dante: Why? those kind of things are for babies, we don't need those, it's not cool carrying things like that.

Reid: Cool? (Viciuosly looking at Dante)

Luke: I will rip your stupid tounge from that stupid mouth of yours.

Dante: *gulp* E-easy guys, Ehe he he.. ok ok, Im sorry, my fault.

One of the Nagas came out from the inner realm, and whispered something to Riptide.

Gray: Is there something wrong?

Riptide: No no, not at all, the preparations for the banquet is almost finished, looks like the rebels have retreated, when their Centurion was defeated.

Dante: They should be, or I'll also be sending them to where their Centurion is.

Eli: Yeah yeah Mr. Im very full of myself, we know you can do that, so just stop bragging, your starting to irritate me.

Virgil: Just let the kid brag Eli.

Luke: He He He! yeah just let the kid be.

Dante: Grrr! Kid? who are you saying a kid?

Riptide: (I can't believe this people defeated a Centurion) Ahe he he.. Well, looks like it's all done, let's all head to the inner realm.

Gray: mmmm~ what's that smell? smells so nice!

Max: Im really hungry, I feel like I can eat a whole cow.

Eli: Im also hungry but, Tea and some slice of cake will be fine for me.

Dante: Are you serious? you'll faint if that's the only thing you eat.

Reid: Eli, how many times do I have to tell you, that you don't need to go on diet.

Gray? Diet?

Virgil: who the hell would diet in that kind of figure?

Luke: And Isn't your measurements 35' , 28' , 36'?

Eli: Luke!!! *blushed*

Dante: What?!!! I didn't know you have a body of hot babe Eli.

Gray: Almost the same with Arria and Celsius.

Virgil: How did you-

Eli: Ok! enough! let's just go in the banquet and eat, and stop mentioning body measurements, it's embarassing for a lady.

When they arrived at the inner realm, they were surprised on what they saw, they can't believed that the inner realm was really a beatiful place, compare to what they saw earlier when they fought the Centurion Baalberith.

Eli: This place is amazing! I can't believe you cleaned this huge place in an instant.

Reid: So this is what it really looks likes, but how can there be a sunlight in here?

Riptide: We have an artificial sun here, even artificial cloud.

Luke: That is awesome! meadows on the bottom of the ocean.

Gray: I can't believe that this is possible, Grandpa really works in a mysterious way.

Dante: He sure is.

Max: Uhmmm.. Can we start eating?

Riptide: Oh I am sorry, Yes please, go ahead, eat your heart's content.

While they were all eating, some of the Nagas played some instruments, the music they produced were so joyful and heartwarming.

Gray: This music is so relaxing, oh I almost forgot, Guys?! come out and join us.

Gray's five familiars appeared, and joined them at the banquet, after eating the Nagas started dancing, and some female Nagas was pulling them to dance, but Arria suddenly pulled Gray and dances with him, everyone was dancing happily, but Virgil on the other was still sitting, watching them, and like he was thinking very deep.

Virgil: Heroes?.. tch! what nonsense..
