Magicians Of Terra Majica: The Emblem Keeper

Chapter 5: A New Enemy

"A team?" Hadrian asked, flabberghasted at the idea of having a team. Though it would make his burden of saving the world and whatever easier and less lonelier, how was he supposed to have a team if he doesn't even have-

"Yup, but you should worry about that later. Right now you need to have a rest," Nox replied with concern. He doesn't want his master to leave yet but looking at him made the fox worry.

"But I thought you guys were gonna be the answer to all my questions," he asked, his voice trailing off. Nox gave him a sad, but reassuring smile and placed his very small furry paw on Hadrian's hand.

"Look Hadrian, I know you want answers but you also need to rest. I take it that it's been a really long day for you," Nox answered with a smile, something that reminded Hadrian to his late mother despite the fact that Nox is a talking, plushie-sized fox.

"And besides Hade, you already know how to contact us. The rings?" Leo helpfully added before yawning. Hadrian looked at the two gratefully, thankful that they were looking out for him.

"You two might have been the most shocking thing that happened to me today, but I can't really say I'm disappointed and saw me more of a kid rather than some big deal," Hadrian commented, while smiling at them, "so, friends?" The two of them had their breaths hitching as Hadrian extended his hand.

Now Leo could see why Nox was looking pretty distant a few moments ago. He was a constant reminder of the past, a past they could never forget. He looked at Nox who gave him a knowing look before giving Hadrian a grin.

"Friends? As far as I remember you looked done with me awhile back?" Hadrian looked confused as to what Leo meant before oh- He flushed, remembering how he threw the cat with little hesitation.

"No wait that was-" he got cut off as Leo started to laugh at him. He gave him a narrowed stare with cheeks red. Nox could only wonder what happen before nudging Leo at the ribs.

"Leo,"

"Alright alright, sorry for laughing. You just looked very funny when you blush like that," the cat jibed at Hadrian before pinching his master's cheeks. The silverhead blushed even more, regretting what he did and probably what he said.

"Of course we're friends," this time, Leo said it earnestly as Nox followed him. Hadrian smiled at him, his blue eyes sparkling.

"Nox?" the fox looked up to him brightly before shaking two of Hadrian's fingers with his very small paws.

"Is that even a question? Of course!" Hadrian smiled before dusting himself off, standing up.

"I guess I'll get going," he said before thinking about leaving the box. A few seconds after, his form started to slowly turn into light.

"Take care Mas-Hadrian!" Nox was still having a bit of difficulty from avoiding to call Hadrian "master". Leo waved at him with bored but happy eyes and yawned.

"I'll see you guys soon, still have classes to attend you see," he added back before giving them a small wave of his own before completely disappearing in their plane. Leo and Nox remained afloat, looking at the spot where the new Emblem Keeper just disappeared on for a bit before Leo started to turn on the big TV that had a drama going on.

"Nox, are there still cookies?"

"Go get it yourself you lazy feline-"

"WE'RE HERE MASTER! Wait, where's the new Emblem Keeper?" the two froze for a bit when they heard the new voices who looked a bit lost. Nox and Leo looked at each other before replying to them with an awkward smile.
