Chapter 15: The Black Tower

Both Rosin and Sonia had finally heard what the other two in the room - Matthew and Terria - were talking about, and so, the four-year-old quickly made her way toward them.

She then proceeded to hug the little boy, as she said, "I will also visit you a lot!". Matthew smiled warmly. He patted her head, and replied, "Thank you, Sonia! That makes me so happy to hear! I am already excited and can't wait!".

"And, whenever you show up, you two better have learned the basics of swordsmanship! Understood?". The two little girls smiled, as they remembered the game they used to play with him, and responded, "Aye, aye, Captain!".

This made Matthew chuckle a bit. He said, barely keeping himself from laughing, "That's the wrong one, only when we're playing pirates, now, it's more like, "Yes, sir!", c'mon, do it again!". The two girls smiled, and laughed at their mistake, as they said this time, "Yes, sir!".

Rosin looked at them, and even though she didn't think it in her head, her heart wanted for her to play with these three, and understand why they were doing this and having so much fun with it.

The four of them continued talking about silly things, like some of the games they had played. Matthew loved bragging about how good he was in them, especially after seeing how Rosin pouted every time he mentioned something of the sort.

He greatly enjoyed making her a little angry. At some point, they ordered something to drink, and the young servant got them some delicious orange juice. With that, time passed by quickly, and even though Rosin pouted a little, in the end, this was some of the most fun she ever had in her entire life, the same could be said for the other three.

Since Terria and Sonia were still a little too young to understand what death really meant, the pain their parent's death caused them, started to fade a little, but the same could not be said for Matthew.

He had experienced his grandfathers, and grandmother's death already, as well as the death of his father's, Ron's, best friend, so he had some experience with what death really meant.

And since he was also a little older compared to the two Cavias sisters, he understood clearly what his parent's death meant. So, even though he also had a lot of fun talking to the three little girls, he still always had another painful matter in his thoughts, he tried his best to not think about it, and to let it go away, since that was what his father had said when his best friend had died.

But, it wasn't as easy as saying it. He now was experiencing what it meant to have your parents die, to just cease existing. You could never talk to them again, their smiles? Gone! Their care for you, all the love they gave you! Not going to happen anymore.

And since they were the only family Matthew had - His uncles and aunts and all, are all either dead, or he doesn't even know them - he truly felt all alone in this world. Even the two Manos sisters were going to be separated from him now, since he was going to be sent to the orphanage.

Still, Matthew tried his best to hold back the tears and the pain. He wanted to leave the two little sisters on a cheerful note, instead of a sad one. After all that time had passed, the young servant opened the door, and beside him, another person entered.

This person had blonde hair, and was wearing a brown vest, he also had a red sword strapped to his belt, it was of course, Asvin. He smiled at the four children, as he said, "Okay! You don't have to stay here anymore, those old bast... I mean our uncles and aunt are gone now, so, you can start having fun again, how about, before little Matthew here, leaves, we play a little game called "It"?".

Matthew, who had just been introduced to the game by the excited little Sonia, smiled and said, "Okay! I am in!". The other three little girls all agreed as well. Asvin nodded as he looked at them, and said,

"Well, what are you waiting for, let us go to the front garden of the house!". With that, the four children followed Asvin, and after a bit of time, they found themselves outside the house.

There were two guards in front of the door leading outside the giant, beautiful mansion. The both of them smiled as they looked at Matthew, and how his expression had changed greatly from the one he made when he entered the mansion a few hours ago.

It had changed from one of pure evil, and devilishness, into one of happiness, and bright laughter. They were happy that he didn't get broken by what had happened yesterday, the incident called, The Black Fire. Where the Black Tower had sent some troops to wipe out seven villages, inside three separate kingdoms.

Asvin smiled, as he said, "Well, let us start then!". With that, the four children, and the young man, started running around the place, having a lot of fun, this even helped Matthew forget the intense pain he was feeling all this while.

Two figures were overlooking the five who were playing, these two stood on the first floor, and they were looking at the five from an open window. They were, the Fierce Lion, John Cavias, the leader of this noble family.

As well as his wife, Rania Cavias. The Fierce Lion had a serious expression on his face as he said, "Hah! It seems the most our kingdom, Decartium will do to the Black Tower, is annihilate some 0th, One, Two, and even Three-Star Magicians! Haha!".

"As if that's anything, what about a Fourth Star Magician, or even higher? I guess we're too weak for that, since even The King's Power can't really fight against a Seventh, and an Eight Star, let's not mention the Ninth, and the only Tenth Star, The Dark Crow!".

"The same is true for the other two kingdoms, the Green Fox is just like us, and even that great Flower Sword, isn't up to the task, and she's an Eight Star with relations to Solfia!".

"The Great Empire won't budge, they have the Dragon Slayer, someone who can stand against the Dark Crow, yet, since these are only small villages, they are turning a blind eye to it!".

"Then, you have the corpses of six villages disappearing just like always! What am I supposed to say to young Matthew, and my two daughters? They can't even let them rest in peace!".

"Still, there is one interesting piece of information, the reason the seventh village still has corpses, is because, someone, I don't know who, butchered all the Magicians sent there!".

"Either, he arrived late, and could only save a few people, or he just didn't care about the people being killed!". Rania was a little shocked to hear all of this, she immediately asked, "How strong is this guy to be able to do such a thing? A Fourth Star? Maybe even stronger?".

The Fierce Lion didn't reply, he thought about it inside his head, 'If I do my best, alone, I have a chance to butcher everyone sent to a village, yet, it would still be hard, since they are Magicians, but, I could do it! So this person has to be Fifth Star at the least!'.

Rania also wore a serious, and almost sad, expression. She said to her husband, "Well, to be honest, there isn't really anything to do against them, the Black Tower is even stronger compared to the entire force of our kingdom, and with the Dark Crow backing them, they are considered to be one of the strongest powers in the world! And, as you just said, no one will help us, not even the only power that could, the Great Empire!".

"They won't stop, there won't be just one Black Fire! I sense that this is the beginning of something very bad! They have already done it a couple of times before, and now that they can see, even the Great Empire won't move if they cause this much massacre, they can do what they want!".

"They only have to forget about destroying an entire kingdom! Aside from that, the ground is theirs to work!".

She continued, as a grave expression appeared on her face, "This makes me remember, the... you know, how the rule of the Black Emperor started! Remember how it went, how bad life had become at the time, if it wasn't for those heroes, and even after they sacrificed themselves to defeat him".

"He's still alive even now! An...". At this point, The Fierce Lion raised his hand, and said to his wife, "Enough of that! I hope this won't be a repeat of that! Alas, we wouldn't survive for long, let's hope that someone takes care of this menace!".

"Also, that was such a long time ago, not even the Great Empire existed then, some even think of it as being a legend, instead of actual history, so don't worry too much!".

Inside his thought though, 'Hahaha! The Black Emperor, han? Really, Rania? You want to compare the Dark Crow, to a beast that ruled the enitre world at one time? Not many people heard about this, but, even his younger brother, the Lord of Darkness, was a terror of his own!'.

"Anyway, let us change the subject, have you heard about the new organization that has appeared? No one knows it's name, nor goal, we only know who founded it, it's that strong guy, The one titled, "Shadow Assassin"!", said John Cavias, trying to change the subject.

Rania looked at her husband for a second, before complete shock overwhelmed her, she was barely able to speak. She started trembling a little, as said, "Tha... that guy, why has he founded an organization? doesn't he work by his own after he left them? Dammit! That guy's really dangerous, not even the King's Power stands a chance against him!".

"Last he was ranked, he was supposedly, as strong as an Eight Star, right?", asked Rania, a little scared by this.

Since this person had survived an encounter with an Emperor. And, after all, even though the Dark Crow was way stronger than this Shadow Assassin. He was still far, far away from where they were living.

But the Shadow Assassin, he was living inside Decartium, the same kingdom they are living inside. And so, his threat was far more real compared to the stronger other one.

"Well, for now, we still don't know much about why he has done this, or what he's planning, so, all we can do, is hope that he's not up to something bad this time around!", said the Fierce Lion, as he continued looking at the group of five playing "It".
