A Human Among Devils

Chapter 11: Score to Settle

Ray was shocked and for once he was scared as he now knew who it was before him as Ray whispered back

Ray: It's you Emilia the Fallen that tried to kill me

Alicia: Hehe glad you remember me human

Ray was shocked when suddenly she twisted her kendo sword and almost disarmed Ray but he caught his sword and swung at Alicia who smirked as the two clashed as it was a very impressive fight however Ray's own fear was making him sloppy causing him to lose focus which ultimately caused him the match as Alicia had her kendo sword pointed at his throat as Ray was terrified as Ray was in a daze the rest of the day as Murayama was up against Alicia in the finals as surprisingly Murayama held her hold and more as Ray figured Emilia was inexperienced with a blade but that's because she was doing this to make him feel in danger as Murayama won the tournament for the team as Ray congratulated her on her victory as he saw Emilia point toward her phone as Ray pulled out his phone and saw a location and time sent to him by an unknown number as he looked back at her as she smirked and disappeared as the message warned him that if he told anyone she would kill them especially the silver haired women as they all went home as Ray was in his room

Ray: She knows about Grayfia which means she is skilled enough to go under Grayfia's radar... I'm on my own for this one.....and I'm afraid

Just then his adoptive mother Alexadra came into his room

Alexadra: So I heard you won the tournament thanks to Murayama yet I heard you were considered to be the best in the Kendo Club was something wrong?

Ray didn't want to tell her the truth as he sighed as he told her part of the truth

Ray: I had a flashback to a horrible event that happened to me and it consumed me in fear and panic thus I could not keep a clear head during the match and it lead to my defeat

Alexadra looked at her son and sighed
(This next quote is a rwby quote I take no ownership as this quotes belongs to Rooster Teeth)

Alexadra: The single quality that is common across every living creature on this planet...is fear, it’s funny then, that as common as fear is...we so easily underestimate its power, fear of growing close to someone, a subsequent fear of loss, fear of failure, and as more people depend on you, those fears can take on greater power, but fear itself isn’t worthy of concern, it is who we become while in its clutches, will you be proud of that person? Will you forgive them? Will you understand why they felt the need to do the things they did? Will you even recognize them? Or will the person staring back at you be the very thing you should have feared from the start? I suppose we all find out...sooner or later

Ray looked at his mother in shock as she gave him a pained smile

Alexadra: I'm afraid too you know ever since that Rias marriage event I'm afraid that I'll lose someone else I love I don't want to lose someone else Ray....but I also know that you always follow your heart you will never run away from someone in trouble you are a kind and caring soul and I believe that you will always find a way to succeed no matter the obstacle because after all like you said you're a Fade

Ray looked at her and sighed but smiled

Ray: Actually mom I haven't exactly been truthful to you Fade is my father's last name but my true last name is Pendragon I am Ray Pendragon....I'm a descendant of the legendary King of Knights King Arthur....

Alexadra was shocked but smiled as she giggled

Alexadra: I knew that sword looked familiar from somewhere and it's from the Arthurian Legend no matter what your name is Ray you are still you no what who your ancestors are

With that Alexadra smiled and got up and left as Ray was left with nothing but his thoughts as he stared at Excalibur as he thought about his mother, his real mother as he sighed and closed his eyes as a memory played in his mind

Mother: My son you are a Fade and a Pendragon you are something far greater as well you are the descendant of two kings the descendant of the first King of Heroes and the King of Knights, you are more special than me and your father you bring the unity of our families together so whenever you are conflicted remember that you are Ray Fade Pendragon the Prince of Heroic Knights.....

Ray opened his eyes as he had a look of determination as he grabbed Excalibur and put the invisibility wind spell on it as he went to the place Emilia told him to go too as Morgan watched over him as she smiled

Morgan's thoughts: So you finally know who you are the Descendant of Arthur and Gilgamesh the most powerful kings in history my dear grandson let this be your path to the power you wish to gain never sway from this path for this path is your path and no one else

Ray walked and when he saw that both Grayfia and Rias called him he ignored the calls and kept going to the location as he made it to a abandoned church a good way out of Kuoh as he placed the sword on his back as he no longer has the scabbard as he push the giant doors open and at that moment moment Emilia was there in her true form as she was smiling kindly at him

Emilia: I never thought you would actually come I was prepared to hunt you down

Ray sighed as he grabbed the handle of his sword as he drew it and he held his invisible sword at Emilia with his right hand

Ray: Once upon time I would have ran but not anymore here I stand before you with no intention of running away

Emilia giggled and jumped down from the alter she was sitting down as she stared at him with a smile

Emilia: Hehe and now you're here to kill me? To finish the job you failed too long before?

Ray: No....

Emilia shocked: What?

Ray: I'm here to defeat you and...to make amends!
