Chapter 3, Your new master waits

'She... is not worthy...?', the dark servant, who came to look for his master, continued with that thought in mind, analyzing what the commandments spoke about. '...and...she is...isn't she my master?...'

As soon as he entered the throne room, he could see Celestia. When he was halfway to meet her, he drew his sword so he could show his loyalty to his new master. Just as he did in the past. It was at that moment that the commandments screamed in his mind, that Celestia was not his true owner.

No, were telling him that she is not worthy anymore.

The commandments can be thought of as invisible shackles connected from your soul to your master soul. He didn't need to see them, he could feel it inside him. He could feel the chain passing through his former master Discord and on to the next soul that was recognized by him, the pony to whom Discord admitted defeat. This chain also reached Celestia's soul, the only problem was that the chain continued.

Celestia had the essence of the ownership so he could tell that she best his previous master and was transfer to her. He was right to find her, but now it just confirms that he needs to find the new pony that best her. With his mind set, he focuses again on the commandments. He does not control it, but it can be used as a guide for him, to use their magic to create an invisible chain to his current master. That is the magic of the Second Commandment.

The dark servant finally breaks out of his frozen stance and stands up properly, this upsets the guards and they prepare for the worst. After making sure that Celestia lost his ownership, he began to look around. Ignoring Celestia's surprised look, he checked every guard present in the room. Some expected an attack that never came. Others told him not to try anything hostile. And some were frightened by the intensity with which his bright red eyes bathed their bodies, as if he were looking into their soul.

When he didn't get any response from the guards, he checked on the maids who were still in the room and some nobles who were still watching from the door. But still nothing, except Celestia's anger.

"Why are you here?!", Celestia yelled at him after her patience was running out, she expected the worst if Discord sent him to 'tend to her'. "The last time I saw you you were imprisoned by the magic of the Elements. How are you free from their influence? And where is your master?".

Returning to Celestia, the dark servant just stares at her without responding. This angers the princess and the guards. But for him that didn't matter. He just wondered who could best her. Without knowing her inner circle of contacts or what happened after his imprisonment, he has no choice but to ask for help. It was then that he was able to receive a signal from his master.

Your master...need you...

The same voice in his mind spoke again. He didn't know the owner of that voice, but he couldn't confuse it. The Commandments were again in action.

Now that he was not under the magic of the Elements, the Commandments were almost restored. Unbeknownst to them, the Element captured and imprisoned him due to the bad influence of the Yami Legion's Commandments. And after holding him for a long time, their essence became weaker over time. Until now, the Commandments became stronger to take control again and defeat the magic that keeps him in stone.

Now reactivated, the dark servant could see a thin string in the air. Or rather, he now feels his soul connecting with his master. He turned his sight to the right, where there were 3 ponies on the path. There were 2 guards looking at each other as if wondering, 'Is there something on my face?' while a maid, who did not manage to escape, let out a small scream to hide behind the column she used as protection.

This caught Celestia's attention. 'What is he looking at?', Celestia thought as she watched the dark servant looking at her subjects.

'Is he planning to take a hostage? No, for that he did not need to go through the doors of the throne. And even if his order is to fight me, he simply lost the element of surprise. So what is it?', she took no action due to the possibility of Discord being free as well. In the end it was one of his guards who took action.

"HEY, the princess ask you a question! Why are you here?!", an earth stallion decide to get an answer, but only receive silence. He didn't even catch the attention of the dark being in front of him. This made him angry and he started walking towards him "I said! Why are you here?!" Once he reached him, the guard tried to grab him.

SMACK Was his last move.

He could only put his hand on his left shoulder and the next second he was on the ground knocked out. The dark servant simply turned around after the guard grabbed his left shoulder. And with the momentum, the guard fall forward and he uses his right arm to deliver an elbow strike. Due to the sudden movement, the guard was caught with his defense down and lost his balance, he was unable to defend himself when he received the blow to the back of the head.

The dark servant instantly knocked the guard to the ground and returned to observe the direction he was looking before. This scared the guards and this told all the ponies in the room not to mess with him. Even the princess was forced to raise her guard against him.

"Guards! He is not a normal pony, do not take him lightly. He is a mortal warrior from the past, his fighting skills can even be considered superior to our Captain of the Royal Guard. Don't break formation until reinforcements arrive and don't let him escape!", Celestia screams with her wings spread ready for action.

Confused with the dark being, one of the guards brave enough asks her. "But who is he, princess!?"

Celestia didn't want to break their moral, but at the end she let them know what they were against. "I wish I could answer correctly, but we only know him as... The Shadow Blade."

"...What is the Shadow Blade?", most of the guards did not know the name, but one mare guard was able to recognize the name.

"The... Shadow Blade... Could it be the dark warrior of legends?! My Grandfather told me about a warrior with no fear and could take down the greatest beasts! Even a dragon!", she shout out loud for every pony to hear. "But, I thought it was a myth. It's suppose that there is a statue of him on the royal garden."

All the guards look at her in disbelief until their princess confirms that this myth was real.

"It's not just a myth. He is a living legend who lives up to his feats. And I can only say that he has already left the prison that we put him in a long time ago.", she then turn to him. "After a thousand years, I see that you have not lost any of your strength, 'Shadow'."

He didn't give him a name in the past, so Celestia decided to name him from what she only knows about him, just a shadow. But even as he named it, he still didn't pay attention to any look or her calling him that way. 'Shadow' was too focused on those guards and the maid.

Celestia after seeing his movements again, became convinced that it was Discord's same servant, and began to panic. 'He is the same warrior, there is no mistake, I know what he is capable and the threat he is to my ponies.... But... Why is he here and what does he want? He was imprisoned years ago, so why is he looking to those 3 ponies? What could possible be interest for him in that direction-', she stop herself a soon she got what he is staring.

She turns to the direction he is looking. And she discovered that there was a window that she didn't notice. With a view through it that answers her question. From the glass window, those inside the throne room could see a set of castle towers. Those towers were not important, except for one.

It was the private study and research section of the castle where she kept her personal studies and her teaching in magic. She uses it to research magical items, new spells and also to teach her knowledge to a certain young mare that she recently began to care for as if she were her own daughter.

If he is looking for a magic item, he won't find anything useful there. All important objects were kept in the royal vault. So it could be that he was looking for somepony. Only a few ponies could be in that tower at this time of day, so she already knew who he was looking for. After all, she came from there this morning, after talking to "her". Afraid of her suspicions, she returns to 'Shadow', where he has not yet moved.

But there's no way she's going to let him go there to find out. "GUARDS!!! SET OUT THE ALARMS!!! DO NOT LET HIM ESCAPE FROM THIS ROOM!!!", Celestia shout out with her royal voice so all in the castle could get the alert.

Disturbed by their princess's announcement, some of the guards lowered their guard to check that they were hearing correctly. One of them saw an opportunity to impress his princess. "Princess he is only one pony, don't worry we will capture him for- UGH!", unfortunately his opportunity became for someone else as he was punch in the face by a metal fist.

It didn't stop there.

'Shadow' then grabs his arm and uses his momentum to throw the unstable guard into another guard. Without giving the ponies a chance to recover, he began to run towards the window through the gap in the formation. But to no avail, he was pinned down and thrown to the other side with a blast of Celestia's magic.

"Guards! Take your weapons out! Seize him!", Celestia flew down from her throne and approached her guards to stop him. With this, the guards took their spears and shields and went to arrest Shadow.

'Must move.', he tries to recover as quickly as he can from an alicorn's magical blast. However, it really took time, magic resistance was really his worst attribute. Especially without his master's orders.

When he got up, he was surrounded again. 'Shadow' observed the will to fight on the guards' faces, so battle was inevitable. But now, unlike before, he took into account two details that have changed. One, the morale of the guards was damaged after 3 of their comrades were shot down. And two, since Celestia was not his master, he saw her as an enemy. Now he could go wild on Celestia's guards.

Flexing his neck, he felt motivated to get some exercise after his long sleep.

Two guards nearby used their spears on him with a double direct hit, but with a quick step forward in between the attack, he was able to redirect the spears into the ground with his sword with his swords. Still taking advantage of the forward momentum, he twisted the handles of his swords to hit them in the stomach like brass knuckles. His attack still continues. While the two guards were bent face down, he moved onto their backs and elbowed them both in the back base of the neck. He made sure they were not lethal but strong enough to take them down.

He then runs to confront another guard who tries to hit him with his spear. He counterattacks when he blocks, only this time he redirects the attack upwards. To be able to send a strong kick to the guard's chest. The impact sent the guard colliding with 2 other guards. Luckily, they were both able to catch their comrade. Unfortunately, 'Shadow' didn't stop and used the 3 as a springboard by jumping on them causing them to crash to the ground.

Once in the air, 'Shadow' managed to surprise the pegasus guards who took flight at the beginning of the battle. Once in the air, he turns his body to kick the first winged guard in the head. With his head thrown back, he began to fall. Not after 'Shadow' uses him as a new springboard with his free leg towards his next victim.

This time a new mare guard was ready and used his shield to bash 'Shadow'. He was not surprised and used his swords to collide with the guard's shield. There his momentum ended and he began to fall, but not before grabbing the shield. Since she was not prepared and the shield was attached to her arm, she fell with him.

Before hitting the ground, 'Shadow' does a backflip with the momentum of the fall still with the shield in his grip. Since the pegasus type is lighter than the rest of the pony types, especially mares, it wasn't difficult for 'Shadow' to switch places with her. The unfortunate guard was used to cushion the fall, so she took the full impact of her body, shield, and 'Shadow's' weight, rendering her unconscious on impact.

'Shadow' gets up and removes himself from his fall cushion, but he didn't have time to rest when he saw lights coming towards him. Using his swords, he swung them both and cut off the incoming spells that were about to hit him.

"Keep firing your spells, do not let him recover!", a unicorn guard shout out to his fellow unicorns, so three guards starting to bombing from afar.

'Change tactics.', knowing the danger he was in now, 'Shadow' prepares his two swords for the assault.

With no full defense against magic and no ranged attacks available to him, 'Shadow' only had the option to dodge and slash incoming spells. He ran and ducked to evade most spells, but for those weaker or more annoying attacks, bindings, and blinding spells, he eliminated them as much as he could.

'HMM! How annoying.', he got angry, his left arm began to go numb after blocking several spells.

Unfortunately, the latter were mixed with lighting-type spells that managed to paralyze him due to the conductivity of his armor. He cut one of them and could feel his arm going numb because his swords couldn't cut them properly and other than that, the spell was still hitting him.

He relied on his swords and armor to defend himself against magical attacks, mainly with the magical enchantments that empowered them, but that did not make him invincible. He already learned it the hard way thanks to the experience of that magical attack from Celestia in the past. That's why he started to worry once he saw the princess also joining in to cast her spells on him.

"Guards! Keep firing your spells on him!", she call out. Now he had to think twice to block some spells. However, his main concern was the time it consumed.

'Shadow' had to think quickly about how to escape. Soon the room will be filled with the rest of Celestia's guards. His mission was not to fight them but to find his master. And fighting Celestia was not in his favor if it turned into a long fight. So escaping was his only option to continue his mission to find his master.

He turned to run to the right side of the room as the magic attack restarted. He went behind a pillar in the room to use it as a temporary shield. From there he had precious seconds to look around.

"AAHHH!", just in time to hear a scream.

When he turned to his left side, he found that the maid from before, who was behind the columns, was not far from him. He looked in her direction and noticed that she was fleeing from the columns and the fight to the other side, away from him.

Thanks to her, 'Shadow' found a way to escape, towards the same direction she fled. Then he decides to run the same way as her.

He waited until the magical assault was over and started running towards the other side where the maid escaped. He could keep running, but it wasn't until a magical barrier appeared in his path. He stops and looks in Celestia's direction, to discover that she was the one who created and was carrying a spell that he recognized.

With eyes determined to stop him, Celestia announces her victory. "There's nowhere you can run now. You'll fall now, 'Shadow'!"

She began to charge the spell she used last time, when she tried to "hit" Discord. He was able to recognize his situation. He had the barrier on his right side and the guards, 4 of them who had not yet faced him, were covering the other side while the 3 unicorn guards were at Celestia's side to help her. In conclusion, he could not flee from his spot and was about to be hit again by Celestia's strongest spell. Just as he was wanted.

"I wish we could understand you better and things could happen differently, 'Shadow'. But I will not take the risk that you will be free and your master. So please. Stay down!!!", Celestia release her spell and was about to hit the shadow of her past.

Celestia smiled because she had won, but soon her smile disappeared when 'Shadow' went behind the column where she created her barrier and returned with something that he threw into the air. A maid cart was launched between Celestia and 'Shadow'.

Behind the column was the maids' cart that was abandoned by the maids in charge of the decoration that he followed to the throne. And he threw it in front of the spell. It was just a normal cleaning cart, so it won't do anything against her powerful spell. Nothing will change except if we include the fact that there was a glass window behind 'Shadow'.

Soon Celestia realize his plan. BANG But too late.

As soon as the cart hit the spell, Shadow braced himself for impact. And with the explosion, he was sent backwards and out of the room through the window. The explosion was so strong that it blinded all the ponies, even Celestia.

After it calmed down, he disappeared when he fell out of the window. Celestia and her guards stopped right there as the thought of him falling to his death crossed their mind. Some worried about the worst, but it was Celestia who lost her color when she learned that he had managed to escape.

"We are here to assist you, Princess!!!", after a few seconds, the throne doors burst open as an entire squad of new guards entered the room with the Captain of the Royal Guard.

Iron Wing, a 58-year-old silver pegasus stallion, leads the way with his 20 guards to protect her and the civilians, but his motivation and will to fight was drained when he arrived in the war zone.

Of the 8 guards out of the 15 stationed in the throne room, they were on the floor with bruises and most of them knocked out. The princess's alarm response took no more than 5 minutes and he had no problem gathering the guards he encountered on his way here. But seeing that almost half of the guards he selected among the best were taken down in a few minutes made him take this intruder more seriously.

Especially because he could see that his princess had a face that he had not seen in a long time, her scared face.

"Guards, tend to the wounded, the rest close the castle and evacuate the rest of the civilians. If you find the intruder, sound the alarm and do not confront him unless necessary!", he shout out the squad and went to check with Princess Celestia.

When she notices him, she returns to her normal self, but he could see her nervousness in her eyes. "Thank you Captain for coming to protect me.", she said as soon as he was in front of her.

"It is my duty, Your Highness, your royal guards will always be there to help you. We came as soon as possible. So who's coming to attack you and how come they're not here? Did you take care of him yourself, Your Highness?", he asks while watching how some of the wounded begin to wake up and get up with the help of their fellow guards.

Celestia also moved her gaze towards them and let out a sigh without believing that what she saw was also real. "The intruder is no longer here, he escaped through a window when we thought he had no chance of doing so. As for who it is, it is none other than the legendary 'Shadow Blade'. I'm sure he is the same warrior I met years ago and he has indeed returned, but his purpose remains a mystery to me."

After hearing who was responsible for the state of his guard and his princess's fear, he turned to look at his princess. He knows his legend and that's why he couldn't believe what he just heard. As Captain of the Royal Guard, he memorized all of Equestria's enemies and legends so he could have an idea of the threats that could attack his country.

Letting the news process in his mind, he observed his princess to check the veracity and did not detect any lies. Iron Wing is a veteran Captain of the Royal Guard who has helped his Princess over the past decade, so he trusted her more than anything. After verifying his suspicions, he made a decision.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will lead our Royal Guards to capture him. Even if I need to take care of him myself.", he turned to leave the room, but stopped because of what he heard later.

"Iron, please... run away from him if you can't face him. My theory is that he will go to the castle tower, to the private study and research section. I don't know his current target, but I do know that he is stronger than you.", said his princess

The captain smiled at his claim and responded. "Don't worry, I'm not trying to bring him down." After that he left the room to prepare his search for the intruder but not before muttering something to himself. "I just want to see if I'm ready to pass the torch. I hope he's ready."

"Okay. Thanks for the update.", Shining sent the messenger assigned to spread the intruder alarm. The messenger waved back and spread his wings to fly to the next checkpoint.

He then turned to his squad and is giving them their next orders. "Okay, you heard it, go to your designated position and continue your training. Another squad leader will assign each of you your new role, whether to defend a position or civilians in the safe zones. Is that clear?!"

"Yes Sir!", the four rookies declared and went to report to their new squad leader. All except Lift.

"Ehh... Shin- I mean, Sir. Where... you'll go?", she stay behind to talk to him. She believe that this was her last time with him.

"I need to report back to my station and... I want to meet with the Captain for the plan details against the intruder.", Shining tried to hide that he wanted to hunt down the culprit, and his chances would improve if he was with the Captain Iron.

"I... understand sir. Just...please take care of yourself!", Lift shouted her wishes into the air, however incomplete, and she began to reach out to her scale companions.

'She is a good pony... It will be sad to crush her feelings for me. But I already have a mare in my life.
Besides, I don't want Cadance to revoke her ceasefire. We are not ready for that yet.', putting his thoughts aside, Shining began to run through the hallways towards the throne room. Where he hoped to catch up with his mentor.

'Could Leaf's warning about the intruder was true all this time? And I let him escape?', worry of his incompetency, Shining could see that the whole castle were in high alert.

The maids and personal staff were running towards the nearby safe room for their lives. The guards ran from one place to another, thinking that the worst would happen. He even caught some nobles and civilians running with fear on their faces. Now the entire castle was in panic, and when there is panic, ponies can get hurt.

'I will not allow lives to be taken today.', with his determination set, he promise that nothing will stop him to stop the intruder. Except for his family. "...What the... SPIKE! What are you doing here?!"

While running towards the throne room, Shining encounters a guard who tries to order Spike to the nearest safe room. Seeing that the guard fails to force him to listen, Shining runs over to them to check why he was still in the hallways.

Spike goes from guard to Shining. His face changes to happiness when he sees him. "Shining! Listen-", but he didn't allow him to speak.

"Spike we are under attack! You know you need to evacuate immediately!", Shining didn't have time to lose, so he try to make it simple.

Determined to say what he fears, Spike raises his voice at her. "Yes, I know, but listen! Twilight is still studying in the research tower and I'm guessing she hasn't been notified yet. Worse! She might not have evacuated in time!"

"Why is she... neverminded!", Shining let go of his surprise. He hoped his little sister wouldn't have one of her sessions at this kind of time. "Are you sure she is still there?"

"Yes! I came from there, and I bet she will be as stubborn as a mule or she didn't listen the alarms. That is why I must go there to check her or... worse could happen to her.", Spike had his fists clenched hoping to get his brother's approval.

"I know, but...", Shining couldn't refute Spike's concerns. He also wanted to make sure his little sister was okay. Luckily for both of us, some pony was able to give a good resolution.

"So why don't you go for her too?", Shining and Spike, as the guard who was no longer needed, turned to the pony coming from the other side of the hall. It was none other than the Captain of the Royal Guard, Iron Wing. The same pony Shining was looking for. "After all, Shining, a guard's duty is not to make sure all civilians are safe."

"Captain!" Shining was happy to find the pony he was looking for, but he knew he couldn't be unprofessional so he saluted as his subordinate. "Shining Armor, reporting for duty sir! What is your order?!"

"Relax. We haven't enter to war... Yet.", he said to him and turn to the other guard. "You, return to your post and report to your squad leader. I'll take care of this from here.", the other guard saluted and turned the corner leaving them alone in the hallway.

Seeing the coast clear, Iron turn back to the two brothers. "Okay, we are alone. Ask away."

Shining ask first that came to his mind. "Sir... What is happing? Are we under attack, an invasion or somepony infiltrate the castle?"

"The last one... and it's not just any pony. It is a real threat that must be taken seriously. That's why Princess Celestia set the alarm at the highest alert level and we need to find the culprit at all costs.", Iron emphasizes this as the wounded pass through the doors of the throne room.

Spike decide to intervene now, since he was worry for his sister. "What does that means? Is is an assassin? A thief that stole something important? GASP Could it be that the aliens came to take our brains?!"

"...You should stop reading those comics, Spike.", Shining deadpanned. Iron did not matter to the little dragon's imagination.

But Iron wished that was the case. "A little too far to hit, but almost close in fact. No, we have an intruder that our princess considered a national threat. The Shadow Blade."

"...The what?" both brothers said.

"I understand you both don't know, so I'll keep it simple. He is a legendary warrior from the past and somehow returned to the castle. For what, we don't know. But our princess is sure that it is not about anything good. We have no choice but to arrest him until we investigate his motives.", he said. Without letting them know that Iron was also interested in him.

Both brothers look at each other, they didn't know what to say. But Spike had concerns when he reached the last part. "Wait. His motives? You mean you don't know what he's after?"

Iron grimaced as to whether he should tell him or not. "No, Spike. We're worried that if he's not after something, he might be after somepony."

Spike didn't understand it, but Shining panicked with a revelation that occurred to him. "Wait! Sir, are you saying-?" he couldn't finish as his captain raised his hand to stop him.

"I'm not saying, I'm theorizing. If our princesses aren't his target, it could be anything or any pony.", he drops his hand and smiles to give his protégé courage to act. "That's why you must accompany Spike to make sure your family is safe. And yes, that is an order, soldier."

"Sir... Thanks.", Shining was glad that his mentor advised him in this time of crisis. Only if his fears weren't just for his sister. “But... Where are you going, sir?

Iron smirked, knowing that he could not escape or hide it from Shining. "What do you think I'm going for? I will prepare to hunt him. And yes... I'm going to use 'that'."

With his eyes wide open, he knew what that meant. "But Sir! Your doctor-"

Iron stops him from saying more. "I know what he said. But it might be the only way to avoid the worst case scenario, any risk is worth it even if I can't return. That is something you must learn well. This is the duty of the Captain of the Royal Guard to protect not only to the royal family but to all the lives you can protect within the castle."

"I... I understand Sir.", Shining salute his Captain once more and then turns to Spike. "Come on Spike. Let's go to Twilight."

"...Huh? Oh, okay then.", but he was a little distracted. Spike confirms to Shining that he understood in the end, both then began to turn in the direction of the tower where their sister was located.

"Shining." Iron approaches him and lowers his voice to tell him, his only concern. "The intruder is known as The Shadow Blade, a legendary being of unknown origins. All we know is that his skills as a warrior are superior to mine.", Shining only nodded his head in understanding, fighting him was his last option.

"Very well, then go and protect your sister. ", Iron then turns around and continues his way to his private quarters to change into his battle armor. Now Shining was worried, if something happens to his sister, he will blame himself. As for Spike, he was scared because of this whole situation, but one thought kept lingering in his mind.

'Shadow Blade... he's not the same pony I met before... what is he doing now?'

As soon as he was sent flying out the window, he began his way towards the tower he felt he needed to go to.

Unknown to the ponies, he stabbed his sword into one of the tower's outer walls and slid down to stop his fall. Once he had a good grip, he pulled them out and began using them as tools to climb and traverse the roof and exterior walls. Until he reached the tower he was looking for.

From there, he climbed and broke a window to enter a hallway on one of the upper levels. After verifying that its surroundings were clear, it began to move in the direction that the commandments indicated the presence of its owner. Along the way, he noticed that this section of the castle had no guards or maids in the hallway or tower rooms.

He was able to take a break and focus more on his search. He was even glad he didn't have to hide anymore. With the path clear, he was able to check out without worrying about an ambush or a fight. I was at peace walking through the hallways, climbing the stairs, and checking the rooms.

He inspected a few rooms and most of them were studies with desks and bookshelves. He even found a chemistry lab and potion bottles, he didn't care about their contents so he kept walking. It wasn't after reaching the top floor, a large library that took up the entire floor of the tower. He was about to return until he detected somepony inside.

He entered and walked through the shelves that were evenly placed, giving him a feeling of a labyrinth made of book shelves. As he turned a corner, he saw a large stack of books on a desk. There were dozens of books and scrolls piled up. No one catches his attention.

The mare that slept on that desk, that was another story. He soon closed the distance and walked to her side to check that she was indeed sleeping.

There a young purple unicorn mare with violet mane with a pink stripe was sleeping with her arms as a pillow and several books open in front of her. He was wearing a white shirt underneath with a brown vest. She is wearing a dark green skirt but also black shorts underneath. Her hair was a mess and her face could show her tiredness as she had black bags under her eyes.

He didn't know what to do, so he continued to watch her sleep and check her desk. He looked at the books on the desk and many of them were folklore legends, one of them caught his attention.

There was a book about the legend of the two princesses of Equestria. It tells the story of how the younger sister became jealous of her older sister to the point of going against her sister to dethrone her. With the aim of being the absolute ruler of the country. Although he did not care about the story, he could not help but recognize a similarity in the story with the two princesses, Celestia and-

"... must... stop... her..."

His thoughts stopped there and he began to pay attention to the mare on the desk. She was not awake but sleepwalking. Still, her words click with his body, soul, and mind. Those words had no meaning, but to him, they were a sacred commandment, just like the Yami Commandments.

And soon he realized it, his search ended. As the same voice, of a young female, he keep hearing in his mind all this time, announce it.

Your master... waits for you...

Author's Note

A quick warning. The biggest events I already had in mind, however, the more I connected the scenes, the more they came out. I didn't want to make the chapters so long so I had to cut some into separate parts. But I thought that if they are somewhat short you could read them at your pace. The other chapters may appear long or fast depending on the plot, but I will do my best to make them enjoyable to read.

Also, I don't have an editor or whatever the draft fixers are called. I do everything for the purpose of posting these stories. In the end I just want to share and generate new content. But don't overdo the criticism, please.
