Garlox quest

Chapter 36; Stream of blood.

'We must go! Now!' This was the first time that Mex had seen February this serious. 'Like, now?' Mex couldn't even get an answer from her. She grabbed his hand, and started to teleport to Dernudist. 'Please, be careful! You're very special to me.' The judge shouted just before they were gone. And just like that, they both found themselves inside the castle of Dernudist. 'Halt, who goes there?!'Several guards made their way to the flashy enterance that Mex and February made. 'No time for chatings, get now away!' Inside her hands, some sort of orb started to form. It seemed to be well below freezing. 'Men, ATTACK!' As four guards started to charge at February. 'Not now.' Her eyes became a solid white, and her body started to levitate. She stretched her arms, and cupped her hands. 'FEEL THE COLD!' Out of thin air, she pulled two sharp icicles. The guards already stopped charging, but February wasn't quite done with them yet. 'Is this for my time wasting' And wth just a simple gesture of her lowering her hands, the icicles impaled the guards with ease. Underneath her, a small layer of ice was formed. 'Mex, can ou hear me?! What's going on?! I can't control my body anymore..' Mex Slowly backed away, as February slowly levitated towards him. 'I don't know, but you better gain control of it. I don't want to be turned into icecream.' Other guards fled the scene, but Mex had no where to run to. February drew closer, her hands still lowered, but ready to summon an ice storm. Mex could feel the chilly air on his skin as she kept getting closer. And just as she was about to raise her arms once more, she fell down to the ground. The thin layer of ice beneath her quickly turned into a puddle. 'February, are you okay?!' Mex quickly got up, and held February in his arms. He gently stroked February's cheek, that was freezing to the bone. 'It's okay, we can lay down here. Take whatever time you need..' February softly moaned when Mex pressed her head firmly against his chest. 'I'm here..' He kept stroking her cheek, but it didn't seem to gain warmth. 'She's down, attack!' A dozen of soldiers gathered back at the castle, ready to take Mex and February down. 'Mex.. I.. Must fight, or else they'll kill us.' 'No way, let me handle this one.' Mex pressed a kiss against February's forehead, and he laid her head back on the floor. 'Twelve on one? That's not fair huh. I'll take it easy..' Mex spotted an armor in the corner, carrying a sword and a shield. With one swift move, he robbed the armor of it's weaponry. 'Come get me!' He looked over his shoulder, just to make sure that February was doing fine. She was still laying on the floor in a fetal position, shivering with cold. The other guards hesitated, but one guard charged directly at him. Mex blocked his attack, and countered by pushing him with his shield. When he was waving his arms for balance, mex swept him off his feet. 'Argh!'Just before he hit the floor, he hit his head on the staircase. 'Attack!' The other guards now followed their orders, and tried to take Mex down. 'It's going to be a though ride, please hang in there!' The first guard tried to stab mex, but he could block it without problem. He didn't see the second guard coming, and dogded just in time. The guard accidentally Thrust his sword in between his partners armor. The third guard tried to strike from above, but Mex quickly made a cartwheel, and caught him on his feet. 'Send my regards down stairs.' With one swift movement he kicked the guard right off the stairs. Two other guards already tried to attack February, but Mex grabbed their heads firmly, and bashed them together. They dropped their weapons, but decided to attack Mex barehanded. With a flying kick against the chest, he floored one of the guards. While still standing on his chest, Mex hit the other guard with the back of his sword, knocking him down unconcious. 'Mex, I'm all ready to go, let's quickly end this here!' She grabbed his hand, and quickly the both of them ran down the staircase.

'What's that?' A loud thumping noise could be heard just outside of the door from the library. 'Miss Gladia, we're being attacked!' 'What? We must fight back!' Lynch nodded, and activated his powers. Just as they got out, their eyes met with Mex's. 'Mex?! Come back here!' Lynched closed the doors from a distance, and locked them with magic. February ran right in the closed door, but Mex could stop just in time. 'Gladia, please. I-it's not like that!'Just as he thought that things couldn't get worse, he saw Lynch standing right besides her. 'You..' Without even thinking, he let out a battle cry, and tried to strike Lynch down. 'You're the reason why we're here!' Lynch blocked his sword with his bare hands. 'No, you're the reason why I'm here.' With only the snip of his fingers, mex was blown all the way back. 'Mex, are you okay?!' Mex wiped the blood away from the corner of his mouth. 'Yeah.. I think so..' He got up, and was ready to strike again. 'How cute, please Mex.. This is not your fight! Stay out of it!' 'No way! Thanks to you I can't protect my people anymore! Everything that I was trained for, useless! You MUST pay!' Mex charged once morebut halfway he was stopped by some magical barrier. 'Mex, You know I can kill you. What you are trying is ridiculous! This world isn't real, this is all just you..' 'I don't care! I would kill you in this world, or in any other world!' 'You want a taste?' Lynch's eyes rolled back in his head, as the barrier shattered, and the shards would slowly move forward. Lynch raised his hand slowly, making the shards increase speed. Mex backed away quickly, trying to defend himself with the wooden shield. But it was of no use, the shards just sliced right through it. 'Foolish boy, your body would have more holes than that brain of yours!' Mex tried to back away even more, but he was stuck in between the magically locked door, and the shards. 'Just go!' February held Mex's hand, and he nodded. The both of them teleported away just a few meters away from the castle. 'What about my men?!' Gladia hurried over to the guards that fell down the stairs. They looked badly injured from the fall. 'M-ma'am..' Gladia fell down to her knees, and cried on top of the guards' chest. 'P-please.. It was my honor.. Nghn..' It got very quite in the main hall, as the guard died right infront of her. 'Gladia?!' Her mother came down the stairs quickly. 'Are you okay darling?' She quickly fell down to her knees, and kissed gladia's forehead. 'No.. I'm not mom.. I lost a couple of men today..' 'Oh sweetie, you couldn't do anything about it! You tried your best, right?' 'I.. Did nothing?' She agrily slammed her fist on the guards chest. 'But you could! And you didn't!'She pointed at Lynch, who was just standing there. 'Me? Whatever you want to do to Pannack is fine. But don't you dare come in between me and Mex.' 'You should've killed him! You could, but you didn't!' 'My task is to keep him alive, I don't have to take orders from you!' Gladia smiled slightly insane. 'Than please, spend all eternity on this world that isn't yours.' Suddenly, Gladia felt her hair being pulled from behind. 'Listen, don't ever think that i'm your servant. You're happy that we have the same goals.. Or else you'd just be as dead as that man that you're hugging. Understood?'
