11Lesus's P.O.V.
"Knight-Captain Judgement," I turned to face the newest edition to the Twelve Holy Knights, the Hell Knight. "Knight-Captain Hell." Roland seemed jittery about his position, always straying from the other holy knights and such. Either way, he proved to be a good baby-sitter for Sun when he sends Adair away to do things.
"Where is Knight-Captain Sun?" I inwardly rolled my eyes as, on the outside, I glared coldly at Hell. And with a detached voice replied "I don't know where he is. But may the harsh God of Light remind him that he won't forgive those who idle." I don't know either. Just hope that he is at least not trying to flood Storm with paper work. Roland nodded and said that he had already helped Storm with the newest amount of paper work that tried to smother him into next week without rest.
"Surely you have something-" My sentence was cut short as the meeting bell was wrung. Roland and I shared a confused, at yet exasperated look as we trudged our way towards the conference room. Sun, what have you managed to get yourself into now...?
"Knight-Captain Judgement, Knight-Captain Hell." Stone addressed us both as we entered the room. A few knights already seated, and at the end of the table... "Whoa," Earth's voice sounded as the door closed, his footsteps skidding to a stop in front of the young figure.
"I never knew Sun had a daughter!" His eyebrows disappearing into his hairline as the little girl looked at him in a somewhat peevish manner. Her bright, blue eyes narrowing at him. "Sun had managed to get a girl?" Leaf asked as he approached the end of the table, where the young girl was sitting. In. Sun's. Seat. "Hello," The girl called out softly as she raised her head.
Quickly sizing her up, she indeed looked like Sun; long golden hair, bright blue eyes and pale-white skin. If she was his kid... Then surely the mother was here as well? Though a quick scan of the room quickly eliminated that idea. What are we going to do if she really IS Sun's daughter?
"No. I am not the Sun Knight's daughter." She continued, her voice sounding every bit annoyed. "My name is Sia. I was told to get the Hell Knight for Pink." "Where is Sun?" She looked at Leaf in confusion, as if not understanding his words "Where is the Sun Knight?" "I didn't see anyone there." she looked thoughtful and shrugged. "Why, is he needed for something?" "Of course he is. Think harder!" Blaze looked terribly concerned, "He looks nearly the same as you!" her eyes dimmed slightly and nodded "Ah, yes. The Sun Knight. He was wounded, was he not?"
The reactions were immediate.
And here we where, standing in the middle of Pink's room with an angry Blaze, and a very confused Earth and Ice knight as I looked to the fuming Pink. "What did you do?" She glared at me and raised one hand, pointer finger pointing straight at her destroyed door. "What did I do?" She grumbled as her butler went over to fix the door. "I think you meant, Sorry for barging in here and destroying your door?" she continued, very upset and pissed. "Where is Sun?" Blaze growled as she turned over to look at him.
"I already sent him away." she huffed "And, if I recall correctly, I only told Sia to bring Roland here. So why are you here too?" Pink gestured towards Sia and Roland how were quietly sitting the argument out- ... Having a staring contest with each other. "Sia?" her head turned towards me, it was rather unnerving to see a near-look a like of Sun, although female, to stare so at me. "Yeah, you did. But they were very persistent." Roland looked towards Pink unease clear on his features "Pink, she said he was wounded." Pink's eyes lit up and smirked
"Yes, he was. But that was of his own will." "What did he do?" She shook her head as Sia raised an eyebrow, probably in suspicion "Does it matter?" She asked and sauntered over to her bed and laid down, her green eyes then stared at me in delight. "I think Sia knows more then she's letting on." I turned towards Sia, a feeling of strange reluctance ebbing its way into my mind
"Sia, explain yourself. Now." "I did see him." Sia said in a calm tone, Ice stared at her quietly as Blaze looked angry at her. "He was wounded though. But he was with two other people, they were headed for a bar. I think." "A... Bar?" She nodded yes.
Earth's P.O.V.
Is. She. Serious?!
Sun could be drinking while we're here having a near-heart attack!?
"Earth." Eyes wide, I looked towards a scowling Judgement Not good, definitely not good. "Y-yes?" Blaze, crossed his arms as Judge said in an almost dangerous voice "Go with them to find Sun. I have to return to the temple, Knight-Captain Ice, you should come with me too. Now." and with that, he turned away from everyone as he left the house. Ice following after him.
"What a bossy fellow." Pink murmured, and fell into her bed. "Shoo, shoo! You aren't needed here. Unless you want to become my slaves?" Blaze, grabbing both Sia and I, ran towards the door... And kicked it down again running away faster. Leaf stared in stony silence, apologised to Pink, and ran after us. Frantic worry visible on his and Roland's face as Pink... Just made a shooing gesture at him.
We reached the bar a few minutes later. Blaze, being Blaze, kicked down the door. Not even bothering to check if anyone was behind the door, which sadly, there was. "Sorry, sorry." "N-no, it's fine. Sir- BLAZE KNIGHT?!" One after another, citizen's eyes widened, and shot out of there seats. A few exclaiming they didn't do some crimes...
Do you think we're Judgement? Stop! We don't- ... You stole a woman's bloomers? Both me and Leaf stayed quiet and stared at the man, eyes filled with... disillusion. Heck, even if Sun was that desperate, he wouldn't resort to stealing... I think. "Pst, Earth." I turned over, albeit nervously. For the image. and saw Leaf looking at the crowd surrounding Blaze, before pointing at my hand Don't tell me he wants to hold hands?! "Earth, you're hurting her." Leaf called, pointing at a struggling Sia
Oh, I'm holding her arm. "Sir Earth! It hurts!" she began to wail, and I released her. Please don't let Roland see that. Please, oh please don't let that kid-loving undead see that! "I think its a good idea to start looking, while the citizens are..." Leaf glanced over at Blaze "Preoccupied." "S-sure. Sia, p-please listen t-to me." She looked at me, eyes watery Okay, if she isn't his daughter, I swear she must be related to Sun. At least niece or something.. "You c-can g-go with Leaf. I-I'll talk t-to the i-innkeeper." I ducked my head and 'tensed' when a female brushed past me, flashing a small smile and 'blushed' at her.
"Is something wrong with Sir Earth?" I saw Sia tipping over and clutching Leaf's collar as he looked at me in innocently. I really felt almost bad for faking my personality... Until Sia asked if I was a gay that I completely lost my pity for her and stormed off to talk to the Innkeeper. Who was luckily a male, and knew my teacher's actually personality.
"Hey, Georgeo, long time no see. Eh?" He smiled, a toothy smile. His gray hair falling down his head neatly. I couldn't help but grin "Hey, sorry about not visiting." "Its fine! I'm glad you actually visited. It's been... what? Six years?" I shook my head, he's really getting old. "Three months actually. Things been rather busy."
I sat down in front of him, he handed me some whiskey Hey, I know I'm supposed to be looking for Sun, but there's no harm in drinking a little. "You need something? I know you're looking for someone. Ain't ya? I mean, there's three of ya out there being surrounded by my customers. Except the little girl."
He shot me a concerned look "I may not be sure about the actual works of your job. But I know that three knights from the main Twelve aren't needed for a simple 'Missing Child', or," he leaned over, and whispered "Is this about the murder?" I blanched, we haven't spoken about that for ten years
"Why bring it up?" He shook his head, eyes dark. "Listen, your folks managed to save ya from him. But another kid wasn't as lucky; he's alive though. But the parents..." He shook his head "They were good people, kind and caring. Real kind. Sad about their kid though. Havin' to live without 'em."
Now that I think about it, he didn't ever tell me the kid's name. "What was-" A door slammed open, Leaf ran in, eyes filled with panic. "Earth! Help, quickly!" he yelled in panic, Mark stared in stony silence "I'll go now." "Bye, Mark." I turned to Leaf and noticed a certain someone missing
"Where the heck is Sia?" "That's the problem! I cant find her. Help me look for her! I heard there was a child killer on the loose!" C-child killer?! "What are you doing looking at me!? Let's go!" "Sia! Sia! Sia, where are you?!" Panicked yelling and us running, we crashed into a few citizens, stumbling and muttering apologises
"Sir Earth! Come quick..." Shit. Shit. Shit. "Sia! Are you okay?! What-" I stared in silence. The back cloak she was holding was familiar, too familiar for comfort. "G-Grisia..." Leaf muttered, as he came Blaze came too. Stiff and in shock. He snatched the cloak out of her hands, his hands shaking.
"Well," I muttered, Sia was busy trying to comfort a terrified looking Leaf, who held the blood-stained cloak. "At least we knew he was here... And extremely injured."
