Beast Evolution

"Isn't this carriage a little different" Leia said to them.

"Huh...how is it different, we should..." Ray paused as they reached the front of the carriage.

From the back it was a normal carriage, but now that they were in front, it was very different, there were no door to the carriage, to put it plainly, the carriage was opened, the top and back were covered but that was all.

"Sir isn't it chilly?" Leia asked.

"We are hunting for something" Authur said.

"Hunting..."

"What are you saying, what are we hunting for?" Alfred asked Authur.

"I'm just joking, we are not hunting" Authur said with laughter.

"Why did you say that, do you want to scare the kids" Alfred whispered in Authur's ears.

"I wanted to give them a heads up" Authur smiled as he entered the carriage.

The rest of the group followed suit, the carriage was light so it was pulled by a single horse and James was the rider, Authur and Alfred joined James in front of the carriage while the three of them made their selves comfortable.

"Do you think Authur was joking?" Gabriel whispered.

"I don't think so, but I wonder what they are looking for" Leia said.

"I hope it's a beast, I'm looking forward to killing it" Ray whispered.

"Killing what...with your hands like that, I'm not sure you can protect yourself" Gabriel told him.

"Ha... I've forgotten I was injured, but it's getting better slowly, I'm working towards it" Ray nodded.

'My Mana is really not enough, I wonder how I can increase my Mana pool without leveling up'

Ray had a spell [Lesser Regeneration] but it takes too much Mana, using it constantly usually makes Ray tired all the time but it was worth it, slowly his hands were healing and before his one month his hands would be fully healed.

'My strength improvement isn't great, I'm going to work hard the moment we get back' Ray said inwardly.

"On a serious note, what do you think they are looking for?" Leia whispered.

"Something" Authur said with a loud voice making the three of them freeze.

Authur smiled and turn around, he looked at their faces and nodded his head.

"You guys should be quiet, you should whisper more silently, we can hear all what you were saying" Alfred said and their eyes widen.

'How were the senior knights able to hear us whisper, I'm sure they are lying' Leia thought.

"We are going to the knight academy, but we would be making a stop somewhere" Authur said.

"Sorry to ask Sir, but why..."

"An infected beast was captured, so we are going there"

"Captured...so they are trying to find out what's wrong with them" Gabriel said.

"Exactly, so that's where we are heading first,"

"So why did you say we're hunting for something, or should we expect something?" Leia asked.

"You are speaking to us causally, do you think we are your friends" Alfred said.

"We are sorry Sir" Leia and Gabriel apologized quickly.

"Alfred don't worry about that, they risked their lives you know" Authur said with a smile.

"Just because they saved Luna doesn't mean they shouldn't show respect, they are ours students, first year at that" Alfred sneered.

"Don't worry about it, but show some respect for next time sake"

"Okay sir" Leia said.

"Sir do you like the tamer?" Ray who had been quiet all this while spoke.

Leia and Gabriel who shocked at what Ray said, Authur couldn't speak, he sat there smiling at Ray.

"Ray why would you say that?" Leia questioned.

"Huh! is that a bad thing, she's really beautiful and I'm sure she would like him" Ray pointed at Authur.

Authur was really surprised at Ray's boldness, he always knew Ray was stubborn but this was on another level, but he kinda like it.

Alfred head was so hot that imaginary smoke was coming out.

"When we get back to the academy, you guys would have the time of your life" Alfred smirked.

...

Some days after the attack on the capital, Vaan who fell unconscious had recovered and they were all seated in a small room except for Draco.

"I can't believe the strength of those Royal knights"

"I wish I came with you guys, I would have had lots of fun fighting them" Ian said.

"You couldn't defeat the person you faced and you are talking about Royal knights, they would destroy you" Vincent told him.

"He was lucky" Ian gritted his teeth.

"At least we got what we came for, but what does Draco need the scroll for?" Aurora asked.

"I don't know but at least we had fun, I'm going to sleep, and I'm going to be hungry so you guys better make something" Ian stood up and walked out.

"Are we his slaves, I'm also leaving I need a little practice" Vincent said and Vaan followed him out of the room.

Only both of the girls were inside, Draco left the two days ago and he haven't returned.

"So how was Avalon like?"

"I didn't explore, only the boys did but it was nice being there at the very least"

"Why didn't you come with us?" Aurora asked.

"I have lots of bad memories in Avalon, so the next time I'm there it would be to burn it to the ground" the lady said.

She was the last member of their little group, she had bright red hair flowed down to her waist, unlike the rest of them she wore a black long princess dress that make her red hair shine more brightly.

She didn't look anything like a warrior, if someone was to see her he would thought she was a fragile little lady with beautiful hair.

But her hair wasn't unique because Draco had golden hair, Vaan and Vincent had silver hair, while Ian and Aurora had black hair.

"I'm going to cook something for Ian, I don't want him to destroy the house when he wakes up" she said and left Aurora alone.

...

In a dark cave not lit by any beast crystal, small squeaking sounds could be heard as rats roamed around the small cave.

"Master I got what you asked" a voice spoke and it echoed throughout the small cave.

A dark large crystal awoke in center of the room and emitted a faint light, the crystal was longer in length compared to beast crystals.

"Master are you there" the voice asked again but this time the voice didn't echo, and the person in front of the crystal quickly straighten himself.

"Did you find the scroll?" flickering light emitted from the crystal as it spoke back to the man.

The man quickly fell on his knees and faced down before speaking, "Yes master".

"Then onto the next step," the crystal spoke.

"Yes master, very soon your revival would be complete" the man said.

"Yes, and you would be by my side as I rule the world once again"

...

"It's really chilly, I would have brought an extra coat if I knew we would use this type of carriage" Leia whispered.

"We are knights and you can't withstand the cold weather," Alfred said.

"It's really cold, and Sir you are wearing two coats" Leia said.

"Yes I am,"

"What!! Ray's asleep..." Leia shouted.

"Don't you know Ray, even if beasts are attacking Ray wouldn't wake up" Gabriel said.

"We have arrived" James said.

"Is this a village, or a fortress" Leia muttered.

In front of the village, two knights and a mage were stationed there, it seems the knights were taking extra precaution to secure the village.

Their carriage passed the entrance of the village and proceeded inside, Ray woke up when Leia tapped him.

"Where is this place?" Ray asked Leia, but she wasn't listening, her eyes were focused on something in front.

Ray titled his head and saw the beast that was captured.
