-Calton Dark, the first king

Chapter 4: The Criminals

Kastarthest, Southeast

"Really? For someone who's trapped inside the body of a child, you really speak highly of yourself." Walang gana na sabi ni calton, breaking the tense atmosphere. Deon gives him a deadpanned expression while cleo let out a cheshire smile.

Song nervously glance at the three of them. Yes, she knows that kayang protektahan ni calton ang kanyang sarili, but she is worried because something about these two is off. The fact that they're trapped inside the body of a child just like calton said raised some red flags in her head, because they never know who they are dealing with in the first place. Why they are trapped inside the body of a child? Base sa nalalaman ni song, tanging ang mga taong may mga malalaking kasalanan lang ang inilalagay ng council sa katawan ng isang bata, not only to imprison them, but to reduce their ability to use magic as well. While their original body was put into sleep.

"Oh~ you shouldn't underestimate cleo and deon my king~ because sometimes appearance can deceive you~" Cleo said in a sing song voice. Ibubuka pa sana ni calton ang kanyang bibig para magsalita when song immediately cut him off. She is fully aware how hot headed calton is. It will only make things worst with his anger.

"What criminal rank are you two? I know na hindi lang basta basta kikilos ang council to transform someone's soul inside the body of a child." Song asked as she steps out from behind calton. Napunta ang atensyon ng tatlo sakanya, calton giving her a glare for cutting him off. Cleo's face lightens up again with the sight of her. Deon narrowed his eyes, trying to figure her out. Just like song, deon find her suspicious.

"Oh! Cleo thought you're smarter than you look~ cleo wonder what's your name darling?" Cleo purrs at her. Hindi sya pinagtuonan ng pansin ni song, instead her gaze landed on the white haired child, still ignoring the pouting brown haired child. Di mapagilan ni deon ang mapangisi.

"Why don't you figure it out for yourself?" He said with a smug look on his face. Cleo let out a low chuckle along side with him. Hahakbang sana si song to confront them again when a hand stops her.

"Then how about we settle this with a fight." Calton let out a smirk in return, feeling the adrenaline rush of excitement through him. Ilang taon na rin ang nakakalipas when he faced a worthy and strong opponent. He admitted he was disappointed that the fight between him and song ended quickly. Alam nyang isang syang dark magic user, but he noticed that her posture is sometimes wrong. He knows she lacks experience, this is why he decided to accompany her and watch her get stronger in this journey. There is a chance, that maybe this girl is someone that the God of light sent upon them, to help them and stand again. He won't still help the domecastle though, but he will help her to be stronger.

"Wait calton, we still don't kno---"

"We won't be able to get answer by just asking them, we need to force the answer out of them ms---" napatigil si calton sa pagsasalita when he realized he have no single clue of what her name is. Napabuntog hininga na lang si song.

"It's song. My name is Song lockhart." Calton nods at her.

"Song~ Cleo thought it suits you Ms.Lockhart~ Oh how cleo wants to change that surname~" cleo winks at her. Song rolls her eyes.

"Enough chitchat, let's start." Biglang sabat ni calton. Song can't help herself, at mapalunok ng laway sa kaba. 'We really have no choice but to fight them huh?' Song took a step beside him ready to summon her weapon. Calton glances at her and gives her a piercing glare.
