Dark Mage

Assasination

After this it will be set to Sylvie point of view for a few chapters.Enjoy the story~ ('~')~

I've been standing near the border which Nathalie forbids us to go.Outside the border lies a forest untouch by people.

"where are you heading to?" asked Kuro "i want to look around" i said hoping she will buy the lie "just don't go too far" she said shaking her head as a lot has happened.

I go over the border and into the woods.I wander around while humming a song.Something stop me from my track,a pale white corpse lying on the ground unmoved.

I almost scream ,but a hand covering my mouth stops me from doing so.Lili is standing next to me."don't make any sound" she said

I look behind her to see a dangerous creature waiting to strike.The creature moves slightly causing me to tremble a bit.After a while it goes away leaving us alone.

"what is that?" i asked after calming down "an infected beast" she said
I decided not to ask since she looks uncomfortable about it.

"come with me" she motions me to follow her,and i follow her through the forest.We stop at a nearby river which glows beautifully.

Lili and i set up a tent to take a shelter since it is already late(night).I collect some wood stick to make fire since it's cold."there you go" she said after making the fire.

"this forest isn't safe anymore" Lili said  "it has been corrupted by some sort of sorcery" she said  After that we talked and get to know each other.It felt nice to have a friend,and she seems lonely.

Meanwhile at the fortress
************************
"i'm back" said Nathalie
"have you seen Sylvie?" asked Shiro
Kuro is pacing around as her panick rose each minutes 

"unfortunately i haven't seen her" Nat said "we should look for her" said Violet "i can't leave the fortress,but you may go look for her in the morning" The only thing they can do is wait until morning comes.

In the morning,Kuro and Shiro went searching for Sylvie.The search went on for hours until.....a horrible sound resonate from above them.The creature found it's new prey.

"run" Kuro said
Shiro looked back to find the beast flying at them trying to claw them.The beast has wing with thorns.It's claw are sharp,and poisonous.

"what kind of creature is that?" Shiro asked while running "let's find a safe place" They run and run until they met a dead end.

The bird throws a fireball at Shiro from it's beak.Shiro quickly used his water magic to stop it.But it wasn't strong enough to stop the beast.

"aah" Kuro shouted
The fire hits her,and it burns her face.
Someone throws a rock at the beast,that someone is Lili.

"Lili?" Kuro said
"i have come to rescue you" Lili smiled mischievously.She creates a whirlwind near the beast.It pushed the beast  into a cliff.Unfortunately it takes Sylvie down with it.
