The Guardian: Legend of Leo

Ch.08 News of Grief

Taurus continued to walk towards the Hall of Elders accompanied by a farewell song sung by thousands of people around him.

Right in front of the gates of the Hall of Elders, Taurus shed his tears. The atmosphere became more and more haru, the Royal Guard who were on guard also paid their respects in their own way. They formed another path within the Hall of Elders that led to the Elders special Cremation Room, dozens of Royal Troops lined up neatly with swords facing perpendicular to the top.

"Thank you..." Tears flowed through Taurus cheeks.

Farewell songs were heard filling the Cities around the Hall of Elders, and tens of thousands of people took to the streets upon hearing the song. Everyone can guess who the song is for.

Lanterns bearing shields and axes were flown from all corners of the city.

The emblem is a symbol of the Guardians under the auspices of the Hall of Elders. Slowly thousands of lanterns and farewell songs filled the funeral of the Great Elder.

After farewell songs and lanterns filled the entire city, an arrow shot out from within the Hall of Elders. The arrow is released by Scorpio, and is followed by the Royal Archery Division.

The ceremony lasted long enough until the body of the great Elder was cremated and only the ashes were kept in an urn in memory of the best leader of the Hall of Elders in the history of the Euthorea Kingdom.

The Pool of Gods,

Aries plays his instrument, Unlike the usual this time the strains played Aries sound heartbreaking and bring sadness to those who hear it.

Ariel who was not far from her brother listened to the music with great anticipation, knowing that his brother was grieving the departure of the Great Elder. It was not that his brother had a special relationship with the Great Elder, but that his Brother was grieving for Taurus who considered the Elder to be the figure of Father.

"Sister, there's no need to think about it too far. We better go visit Taurus tomorrow."

Ariel stroked the blond young man's cheek.

"Ariel, I don't have the face to meet her now. In the past, when I was in trouble he always came to help me at the right time. But, now that he's in trouble I can't even give him the slightest help."

Ariel looked at her brother with pity.

"Sister, it's okay if Big Brother doesn't give him help when he needs it. Sometimes help is not just strength and energy, it can also be a feeling and affection to give someone a sense of calm."

Ariel hugged her sister tightly.

Hearing Ariel's words, Aries felt he had almost made a mistake once again. It's okay if he didn't help Taurus before, but if he decided not to help after that then maybe he's not fit to meet Taurus face to face.

Aries steadied his heart and kissed his sister's forehead.

"Thank you, if it wasn't for you I might have done something wrong again."

Ariel smiled gently at the blond-haired young man.

"We're leaving tomorrow."

Three days after the Great Elder's funeral, Taurus only practiced and continued to practice without rest. Leo who watched him for more than three hours finally opened his voice.

"Senior, maybe you should take a break. You also told me it's not good to push yourself too much, sometimes we have to look at the limits and stop for a moment."

Taurus looked at Leo as he considered the young man's words.

"Alright, I think you're right. I also have to keep my body from being destroyed for forcing myself too much."

Taurus wiped away the sweat that had soaked almost his entire body.

Leo who kept watching the big man threw a bag of water at Taurus.

"You must have been so exhausted maybe you should have slept and calmed your mind, I did that when my archery was heavily outnumbered in battle, you know? It feels good."

A handsome man came near the two of them. The man was none other than Scorpio, a blue-haired young man whose age was not significantly comparable to that of Leo.

"Who is this young man beside you?"

Scorpio squints his eyes, before he doesn't realize Leo is often near Taurus and he doesn't know Leo at all.

"Him? He was a little monster, I found him in the Forbidden Forest some time before the attack."

Taurus re-wiped his sweat after gulping down a bag of water given by Leo.

"Little monster? I see he has awakened his aura is he strong? He doesn't look taller than me, why do you call him that?"

Taurus only laughs at the response of Scorpio who doubts the strength of Leo, indeed from his height he is the lowest after Scorpio.

The Taurus pronouncements confuse Scorpio, because according to the man he is too arrogant by belittling Leo.

"I'm just asking, because I don't see the slightest bit of strength from him."

'This fool, if he knew the monster in front of him was hiding all his strength he would surely kneel before him'

Taurus just shook his head slowly before introducing Scorpio to Leo.

"Leo, introduce your other Senior name is Scorpio. Just like us he's the Guardians."

Taurus shortens his introductions knowing that Scorpio loves to provoke a person who looks weak to him and is very noisy.

"Hey, you haven't answered my question! Answer first! Just introduced me to her!"

Leo just kept quiet and watched his two Seniors who were now fighting over a trivial matter in his opinion.

Scorpio who is dissatisfied with Taurus' attitude to him takes the initiative to fight against Leo on the grounds of match training

"Leo, since you look like a good junior, you're definitely going to be practicing this match with your senior, right? I really want to know how strong my newly resurrected Junior is."

Taurus shakes his head and does not want to interfere with the Scorpio challenge that he considers stupid.

Leo is confused about what to respond to the challenge and gestures to Taurus to help him.

"Just fight him, but don't use your full strength, I haven't healed completely."

Finished saying like that Taurus leaves his place and gives room for Leo and Scorpio to fight.

"Ah, you haven't held a gun, it's unfair if you don't bring one with you. What kind of weapon do you want?"

'Stupid, you shouldn't ask! You brought disaster on yourself! But your question reminds me of something, what weapon is his specialty?'

Scorpio's question makes Taurus remember that Leo has never fought using any weapon while with him.

"Please get me a sword, I haven't held it for a long time."

Leo's sentence made Taurus aware, when he found Leo he saw there were two sword blades that were destroyed.

The fight between Leo and Scorpio finally begins, with the arrow in his hand Scorpio immediately taking distance and shooting his arrow towards Leo.

His arrow heads right into Leo's heart but is caught easily by Leo.

Seeing his arrow brushed off so easily makes Scorpio frown.

"Senior, this is just a match practice, isn't it? Why are you attacking my vital parts?"

Leo's question is only answered with a loud laugh by Scorpio.

"If you don't do this you won't be serious, and if you're weak you'll die in your battle."

Taurus swears in his heart, he did not expect Scorpio to provoke so far. On the other hand, a change in expression occurs on Leo's face.

"If you want to kill me, just tell me from the beginning and I'll show you how much I have power over you."

Leo said coldly before appearing behind Scorpio and kicking the handsome man's face hard.
