Surprise Child's

Chapter 10 Rituals

Welcoming the important day Ursula woke up with a fresh face, helped by her servants she wore a red robe that had been handed down from previous generations.

A few days ago, after the announcement of the announcement of the Agragus with his soldiers was soon spread across all the Elf races, the ritual was about to be performed and they had to get ready soon.

By noon a regent told her everything was ready, Ursula walked out to meet her people.

From the balcony he could see all his subjects wearing black hoods with black roses in their hands, standing upright looking at him with smiles adorning their faces.

"Our suffering, our crying, our loss, has finally been heard by God. Today marks the resurrection of the Rider who will lead us to the top of the race, together let us welcome 'Honorous One'."

"Rise the Rider!" exclaiming the General while raising his fist into the air.

"Rise... "

The cry intertwined, burning each of their red hearts into burning coals.

Just as the sun was above the sky Ursula led the ritual by eating the first red rose, chewing it ten times before swallowing it.

Followed by the new officials then his people, slowly vaguely their bodies began to be shrouded in black smoke that marked the ritual had been completed.

"Aah!" sophia chuckled as the tip of the wooden sword stuck to her neck.

Alessa smiled, her irregular breathing was a sign that she was exhausted. From early morning until the sun was high above the sky tirelessly Sophia kept asking him to accompany her study, even though Alessa was exhausted she still insisted.

Really behind her nature that does not have a purpose in life, Sophia is a persistent person.

"Enough, we've fought eleven times and you've won three. It was a good improvement for a week" Alessa drew her sword.

"But that's not enough" Sophia complained.

"God, I'm paid to train you but that doesn't mean I have to be all day, I also need to eat and rest so the rest please practice alone."

Sophia frowned, she did not like to practice alone because she felt no progress. But Alessa was right, she had another job besides teaching her. Smiling wryly he let Alessa go.

After ridding herself of the sweat Alessa went to the city center, as a witch she worked in her field of magic.

In a small building he rented was where he worked, ordinary people came to ask for medicine or help in terms of magic.

As the couple did, they asked for any medicine or any magic that could make them have offspring.

Alessa gives them a potion accompanied by a small ritual they must perform for seven days, with Alessa's high pay guaranteeing that if the potion doesn't work she will return the money.

After the couple left some men entered with faces covered in cover, suspicious Alessa gave a wary look but remained friendly.

"Can I help you gentlemen?" tanyakanya.

"Yes, we're looking for a girl named Sophia. She's only fifteen and gone with a vampire named Damien, I need you to track them down."

Alessa was stunned, obviously without the need to trace she already knew where they were.

"Why do you want to track them down?" ask Alessa.

Afragus opened his hood, revealing the pointed ears he had.

"You don't need to know that, I just need to do what I tell you to do" he said firmly.

Alessa gulped, her trembling hands began to reach for the golden disk filled with water. Slowly he put his hand into the water and circled the edge of the dish with his wet finger, his eyes closed and began to cast spells.

Without saying thank you he gave Alessa a bag of money and left just like that, while Alessa who knew her best friend was in danger soon followed.

Cutting off the path by using magic in one blink of an eye he had reached his home, in a hurry he rushed into Damien's dark room.

"Damien's awake!" he shook the vampire's body.

"Mh... Alessa what's wrong? isn't the sun still shining?" muttered.

"Sophia is in danger! a group of Elves were looking for him right now!" he said that made Damien wake up immediately.

"What's? then where is the girl now?" tanyanya.

"In the forest, he's practicing the sword."

Damien immediately put on his clothes, covered his face with a mask without forgetting to wear gloves as well. After his entire body was wrapped in cloth tightly he quickly ran out of the house, to the forest to find Sophia who was still with her henchmen training.

"Let's go!" damien said suddenly.

"Damien? what's up?" sophia was confused.

"We're in danger, the Elves are hunting you!" abugn.

There was no chance to get Sophia ready to run with Damien immediately, but Afragus and his soldiers arrived at the right time.

"Miss, we have finally found you" said Afragus, opening his cover.

Sophia who was not ready for the real fight could only curl up behind Damien's back, while the Elf soldiers began to attack.

As much as possible with her wooden sword Sophia helped because they were outnumbered, but she was not strong enough to get many injuries at the beginning of the fight.

While Damien was overwhelmed enough he was still able to fight well, using his incredible speed he managed to subvert one by one the Elves until only one left.

Not wanting to lose Sophia Afragus exerting all her strength, they fought fiercely. The sound of the swords colliding with each other was so lively in the middle of the desolate forest, in terms of strength it seemed that Afragus could not be underestimated.

But Damien profited by his speed, he dashed towards Afragus and attacked the blind spot, causing several painful incisions.

Not to be outdone, Afragus pulled out a chain with a sharp dagger tip from behind his clothes, turning it in the air he was ready to attack.

Syuuuttt..

Damien managed to dodge, he used his sword to fend off the weapon.

Whuuungg Whuungg Syuuuuttt

Sret

"Damien!" sophia cried out in panic as the tip of the dagger now managed to scratch the waist.

The incision wound was clearly visible, bleeding fresh which made Damien feel pain. Unwilling to linger Damien exerted all his strength and increased his speed.

He ran around Afragus while dodging the attack, until he found another blind tip. It was the free back of Afragus without any protection, carrying the emotion of Afragus ai running towards the trees and.

Jleb

The tip of the dagger of Afragus was firmly stuck on the trunk of the tree, while he tried to release his weapon Damien leapt back and quickly stabbed at the back of Afragus until his sword pierced forward.

He had lost, collapsing with a single pull of Damien as he took off his sword. Fresh blood flowed from the hole in his chest, releasing that unsettled soul to go to another world.

Sophia who saw clearly how Afragus was facing his death was made to grimace, especially as the eyes of Afragus stared blankly at him. One last word that Afragus spoke was 'miss'.
