Re: Slayer's Light (The Rewrite)

Chapter Seven: Reunions and Sworn Vengeance

At the banquet, laughter can be heard. The room is full of laughter, chatter and banter. "Your ideas are crazy, Takumi!" Chelsea burst out laughing, who was sitting opposite to the archer. "I know, I know... They are as crazy as I had thought, but I was so nervous that Sakura and I wanted to escape the party..." Takumi admitted. Sitting beside him was Kagura. "At least it's not as bad as me losing a map and getting lost then entering a festival without admission!" she giggled. "What?!" Corrin, sitting beside Elise, asked, clearly shocked. "Heheh... I actually did. What's funny is that I won the festival's blindfold contest, and no one had a clue on who I was!" the Rainbow-Eyed warrior laughed. "How did a lone darling girl like you could have gotten lost?! I'm quite surprised at that.." Camilla asked, also as shocked as Corrin, who was sitting beside him.

"You did NOT!" Elise gasped, nearly whacking Corrin with her arms. "Yep... I lost to my sister's best friend..." Casey admitted. "You've got to be kidding me! I was clearly the Prank Queen! You can't beat an Illusionist like me!" Chelsea stated. "After saving our kingdom, I want a rematch." Casey pointed. "What kind of pranks...? I'm quite... curious." Leo asked. "Like the one time I did on Ren's katana, being stuck to his hand..." Chelsea answered. "Or that prank I set up on Kagura while she was training with her guns, that was hilarious." Casey stated. "Hmm? And what did you do this time, Casey?" Ryoma asked, in all seriousness. "I decided to replace her bullets with confetti and party noises along with it!" the red warrior piped up. "No wonder my Zerri Baso didn't work! I was wondering who did it..." Kagura wondered. "Did you know who it was at that time?" Takumi asked. "Unfortunately, no... But I'm not surprised that Casey did it..." the Rainbow-Eyed slayer folded her arms.

Suddenly, there was a loud crash coming from the outside. "What was that?!" Hinoka asked, already standing up and readying her naginata. "It sounded like an explosion." Xander answered. "Let's go and check out what it truly was!" Corrin commanded. Everyone exited the mess hall.

Upon arrival in Sagaria, Satsuki, being injured, rushed up to her liege. "L-Lady Kagura! Thy mother's tribe did doth decided to attack the kingdom and thy father's barrier..." Kagura placed her left hand on her retainer's shoulder. "Satsuki. We'll check out the explosion, but for now, you rest up." she smiled. "A-Alright. Thank thee." Satsuki panted. "Ren, can you please take her to the infirmary?" she asked her other retainer, which he obeyed. "C'mon!" Ryoma shouted. "Let us begin on this battle!" Xander commanded. Everyone charged outside Castle Seacree.

However, they had to face many enemies, Človeški included in the outer court's gate. "We must proceed onwards..." Xander growled. "Oh... I wasn't expecting to see a whole group of warriors taking on Lady Shizuku..." a young male, who had short yet slick grey hair and wearing a dark mage's clothing, appeared through his magic. "It can't be... Avery?" Riley muttered to herself. 'Avery' launches his magic at Riley, but was successfully deflected by Kagura. "My mother must have hypnotized them somehow. But there's no way that he would turn to Shizuku..." Kagura wiped the blood off from her mouth. "Be careful, that young boy is dangerous, and you needed to keep on going!" Ryoma shouted. "Ryoma and I will take care of him. You must go on!" Xander shouted. "But - " Kamui was cut off by her older stepbrother. "Go, now!" he screamed. "Let's go!" Kagura commanded. The eleven members of the group made their way. "Fascinating power. I have yearned to introduce you to a dear friend of mine - the dark blade Siegfried!" the Paragon Knight taunted. "Soon, you shall be a mere stain on my sacred blade, Raijinto. Xander! Are you ready?" the Peerless Samurai battle-cried. "Prepare yourself!" Xander battle-cried. The two charged for the sorcerous boy.

Meanwhile, the remaining members ran as fast as they could to the throne room, but so far, they are only at the inside of the castle's outer court. "I hope big brothers are okay..." Corrin mumbled, bur his older sisters could hear him clearly. "Darling. I know Xander very well. He is the most powerful knight in Nohr! I wouldn't worry too much about him." Camilla soothed. "Ryoma as well. He's the most powerful samurai in Hoshido, just like Father. He's not here to protect you, but I will." Hinoka vowed. "Thank you." The King of Valla smiled with gratitude. Until a lance was thrown at, near their path. "Whoa!" Kamui exclaimed. "No one must go beyond this path." a male's monotonous voice came. He displayed himself from the shadows and revealed himself to be a knight. "Back off! Who do you think you are?!" Hinoka demanded. "I am Elias. You all shall not proceed." he pointed his lance blade at the group. "Kagura, take care of my younger siblings, Corrin and Kamui especially. This young fella is mine." the bewitching beauty commanded. "Go now. Camilla and I will take care of Elias." Hinoka added. "Alright." Kagura nodded. The group proceeded onwards.
