Beast Evolution

"Shut up both of you, why are you talking about gross stuff in front of a lady" Leia shouted.

"Gross...you would eventually get married and your husband is going to have the gross stuff we are talking about," Gabriel said.

"Okay" Leia stood up and checked close to her bed looking for something.

"What are you looking for?" Gabriel asked her.

"Found it" Leia turned around and a sword was in her hand.

"Woah... careful Leia, we all know you know how to use a sword," Ray said while moving backward.

Leia chuckled softly before dropping the sword back on the ground, she yawned loudly and lay on her bed.

A knock on the door startled the three of them because they were not expecting anyone, Gabriel quickly opened the door and a knight was there.

"You guys should head to the kitchen to eat and get ready, Sir Authur said you are leaving today," the knight told them and walked away.

"We are leaving today, but it's already night time, is it okay to leave at night," Ray said.

"It's the decision of the senior knights so I guess it's okay, but why can't we wait till tomorrow" Leia complained.

"We should head to the kitchen to eat and get ready for the trip"

"We are already ready for the trip, we have no clothes or anything, all of it was burnt when that stupid beast exploded and almost killed us," Ray said.

"But why did the beast explode, that is the first time I'm seeing something like that, Ray do you have any idea what it is..."

"That is also my first time seeing that, but before the beast explode the black line all over its body increased, maybe the body of the beast couldn't take it anymore," Ray said.

"You are right, that high-level beast was able to control himself despite getting infected..."

"When Sir Authur questioned the beast, he said his dungeon was raided by a man and the man offered him the power, do you guys think it was Draco?' Ray asked.

The three of them came out of their room and slowly walked towards the kitchen to eat before setting out.

"Maybe...but how did Draco gain that kind of power, something must be wrong somewhere," Gabriel said.

"He's not the master, he is also a servant to someone, I'm sure of that" Ray said.

"So he has another master, and that master is the one responsible for the infections, if he is he would be stronger than Draco," Leia said.

"That is the problem, we can't even hold a candle to Draco, how are we going to defeat someone like that" Ray said.

"We...hey don't tell me, you are planning to defeat Draco," Gabriel said.

"We should train and get stronger before planning things like that" Leia said.

"Having a goal in mind makes you train harder, why are you guys training, what are your goals?" Ray asked them.

"Well, I'm training so I can protect Avalon in times of danger," Gabriel said.

"Leia..."

"I'm also training for the same thing, to protect Avalon, why are you asking us, what is your own goal?" Leia asked Ray.

"I'm training so I can defeat Draco and return back to my world" Ray spoke without realizing what he was saying.

"Back to your world...what are you talking about?" Gabriel asked.

"It's nothing, we should hurry up," Ray said and walked forward.

"Leia do you think there is another world somewhere, maybe that's where Ray is from" Gabriel whispered.

"How can you say rubbish like that with a serious face, which other world is there apart from this one, first you mentioned ghosts now another world, you need to visit a healer to get your brains checked' Leia said.

"You don't know, maybe it's not another world, maybe another dimension different from this one"

"That's none of my problem, we should think about our journey tonight"

The three of them reached the kitchen after a long walk, well it was a short walk but they were slow, the table had already been arranged by some and Cynthia placed food as soon as he saw them.

The three of them sat down and Cynthia joined them, they all ate in silence till Cynthia spoke.

"Are you guys excited about returning to the knight academy, the tournament would soon begin" Cynthia said.

"Yeah, we totally forgot about that, I can't wait to compete against upperclassmen," Gabriel said.

"I wonder why the senior knights want us to leave today," Cynthia said.

"Us...are you going with us?" Leia asked.

"Yes, I'm also going to participate in the upcoming tournament, my friends and classmates are already in the knight academy now," Cynthia said.

"So the second-year and third-year students are currently in the academy?" Ray asked.

"Yes," Cynthia answered.

"I wonder what they would be up to, at least we are going back today"

'Cynthia is coming with us, she's going to travel with us, this is my chance to get close to her before we arrive at the academy' Gabriel smiled.

"Are you all going to participate in the tournament?' Cynthia asked them.

"We are going to participate, but Ray can't" Leia answered.

"Why can't you participate?" Cynthia asked Ray.

"I'm getting punished by the senior knights, well it's not really a punishment, I can't participate because of my hands" Ray explained.

"What you did at the mage academy was brave"

"My hands would have been cut off, I wouldn't call that bravery, it's just stupidity, instead of calling for help we rushed in thinking we could do something," Ray said.

"What's important is that none of you died, even though you aren't participating in the tournament you are still going to enjoy it"

"By watching and wishing that I was the one fighting, I don't think I'm going to enjoy it, but I still have a chance, if I can prove to the senior knights that I can wield my sword they may allow me to participate," Ray said.
