Chapter 4: Asvin Cavias

The night finally ended, and Matthew had lost consciousness. Due to all that had happened, he couldn't think anymore. His entire village was burnt in front of him, without him being able to do a single thing.

If it wasn't for that man that appeared at the end, he, and the Manos sisters would have died. Well, the Manos sisters would have died for sure, as for him, he might have been taken to the Black Tower, and imprisoned, until he surrendered, and became one of them.

Especially, since children could always be influenced into submission, even adults could be, but it was less difficult with children. After all, they would get easily scared, and with their minds not fully developed, they could be told things that make them think what the enemy did, was actually good.

Still, that man had come, and killed those two Magicians. Albeit, one of the weakest ones, in less than 10 seconds. This man, had been returning to his city from a journey, and by chance, he passed by the village of Ronia.

As soon as he saw it being burned, he rushed in to help if possible, and the first ones he encountered, were Matthew's group. After he had killed the two, and reassured the young boy, that everything was going to be alright.

He looked at the two trembling little girls, and said, "Hey there! My name is Asvin! What's yours? Also, could you tell me this young boy's name?". The two girls, of 5, and 4 years, looked at the man wearing a red vest, and holding a red sword in his hands.

The older of the two, then looked at the two bodies on the ground, and as she fought the burning sensation inside of her, so as to not puke at the moment, she said, in a frail, and scared tone, "M...my name, is, well, Terria Manos, and, this is my little sister, her name is, Sonia, as for him, his name is Matthew, I... I don't know his last name!".

'Hmm! Matthew, han? He seems to be loved by the One Power! Good, since he will be an orphan, he will need to stand out among the others, if he wants to accomplish anything in his life, anyway! I can't do much here, these are the Black Tower subordinates attacking!', thought the man named Asvin, as he looked at the two he had just killed with ease.

'They would have sent with them a Second Star at the very least, and that will give me a lot of trouble if I were to engage, especially with other One Stars, and 0th Stars helping him, dammit! I am supposed to be a knight! Hah! Well, I guess, the best I can do, is, save these three here!', he looked at the three kids lying on the white stallion's back.

He brushed the horses' hair, to try and calm him down a little, since he was quite agitated, with seeing all this blood, and another horse burning in front of him. the only thing that made him a little calm, was that, he was, well, an animal, he couldn't think, and so, didn't truly understand what had happened.

With that, Asvin looked at the two young girls, and the young boy, and said, "Okay! You don't have to be afraid anymore, I will take care of you three, so don't worry, and hold on tight, we will be going to Coupitia city, it's very beautiful, and second only to the capital!".

The whole while where he spoke, he had a nice and warm smile plastered on his face, as he tried to calm the two crying, and scared little girls. The oldest, Terria, nodded to him, as for the youngest, Sonia, she sniffed a little, before asking him, "Will you save mama, and papa, as well?".

Asvin's expression froze, as he didn't know how to respond, he had never been in an open battle before. So, he had never encountered the true terrors of battle. He had heard his father speaking, of how many orphans he had to speak to, after a battle was finished, but never imagined that his time would come to do the same.

'Dammit! I am supposed to be a knight, I shouldn't let them down, but also, their parents might have already died, and well, I should prioritize saving these three more than fighting a losing battle, or so, I would like to tell myself, I have to face it, I am scared!', thought Asvin, as he continued smiling to the two, without responding.

'I mean, this is, well, the Black Tower! You know, one of the strongest powers in the hall of the Rosendar continent! They even have the Dark Crow as a leader, one of the strongest beings in the entire world, not even our kingdom's, Decatrium's strongest, the King's Power, can do a thing against that guy! Actually, aside from other Emperors, not many can!'.

'Let's not think about that, at the moment, it's better if I just focus in saving these three for now!', thought Asvin, as he ignored Sonia's question, he rode the white stallion, carried Matthew with him, and instructed the two little girls to go in front of him, and hold on tightly.

With that, the white stallion began running, and soon, they were out of Ronia village, or more specifically, what was left of it, since there will be no more Ronia village after this night.

Ron was lying on the ground, along with him, a corpse of the Magician he had intercepted to let his wife and son escape.

He smiled as he looked at the grave wound on his chest, he could already feel the coming death, as he thought to himself, 'Hah! This is how I die, han? Is Jena safe, what about Matthew? If I had to guess, I would say, she ended up in the same position as me! As for Matt, well, I hope he's safe, and that he continues living for us, and well, I would be proud to find out that he turned into a legend in this world! Let him be known as the Red Sorcerer!'.

With that, Ron's smile dwindled down, and his eyes closed, as he died.

On another place, very close to where Ron's body was, there was a person wearing a long, black coat, with the symbol of the crown wearing crow on it. His right arm, was no more, and beside his feet, lied two corpses.

One, of a man wearing the same as him, the other, of a woman, wearing commoner clothes, her face was nothing but nice at the moment, it was covered with scars, bloody ones, that had been inflicted on her very recently.

He looked at her, as he remembered the battle he had fought against her a second ago. He thought to himself, 'Hah! This was pretty entertaining! She was quite strong, han? Took out a 0th Star, and even crippled me, a One star! Pretty good, pretty good! Though, wasn't there a child with her?'.

'I guess he was her son, good on you for giving him ample time to escape! Hope he managed to do it, I did feel strange flocculation of the One Power around him, so, he has to become a Magician! May he give me an entertaining fight, just like this one, I will be waiting, whoever you are!', thought the Black Tower member, as his smile broadened.

A little further back from where this guy was, was another person, wearing the same clothes, if you looked closely, you would be able to spot two stars engraved on his right shoulder. This was the captain of the team sent here, he looked at his surroundings, as he saw that the battle had just ended.

They had accomplished the objective they had set out to do. 'Good, another village done for! Now, time to go to actual work!'.

...

The journey to Coupitia city was a relaxing one. There wasn't a single monster in the way, and even if there was, Asvin was confident in his ability to deal with it, after all, they weren't going to find strong ones here.

In about one hour, they had reached the gate leading to Coupitia city, the guards at the front of the gate, readied their weapons, and one stationed at the roof of the gate, shouted at the coming white stallion.

"Stop there, and declare your identity!", said the guard, that looked like the one with the highest position here. The white stallion stopped, just as instructed, and the man, wearing a red vest, said.

"My name is Asvin Cavias! A Knight from the Court of Saviors!".

As soon as the guards heard him, they immediately lowered their weapons, one of them approached him. And after seeing the emblem Asvin wore, he dropped to one knee, as he said, "Thank you for your service! You may proceed, my lord!".

After all, the Cavias family, was a noble family that resided inside this city, and it was well known as well.

With that, the white stallion continued, and entered Coupitia city.
