Chapter 18: Together We Are Strong!
"Ha, finally some fresh air," said Teiga, relieved. She had run aimlessly around the palace for a while until she found a window through which she jumped out onto the street. Everything had become too much for her with weddings and kisses and such. She just had to get out of there!
No one was on the streets, since almost everyone was still in the palace, because of the wedding. She really didn't mean to hurt Sky by running out, only there was no other option. Sorry buddy!
`` Sorry, husband, is that called! 'answered the little voice again.
It's not funny!
`` Oh yes it is. You should have seen your face when the guy said 'You can kiss the bride now'. ''
Angrily, Teiga suppressed the voice again and ran indecisively through the deserted city. That's really crap, she thought, without the voice interfering.I'm going to be forced to marry Sky! I just wanted to take a break and take my long overdue relaxation vacation! Why does this only happen to me?
“Come on, prepare for the attack. And be very careful, ”whispered a familiar voice as Teiga came near the city gates.
“You are the only survivors of the demon attack. If we take this city here, maybe we can strike back! ", was added. Teiga skillfully climbed the wall and looked down the other side to see who was there.
“Hey, Leilani! What a surprise! We thought you were dead! ", She called happily and jumped down to her friend, who hissed at her:" Not so loud! You mustn't notice us. "
"Who" she "? ", Asked Teiga confused and looked at Leilani`s followers. There were visibly fewer than the last time they were in their village.Most were wounded and had their own and demonic blood on their bodies.
“Well, the people in town! We want to attack them to have an advantage over the demons who killed our friends! Are you helping us “, Came Leilani`s answer and Teiga thought about it. “Why are they attacking? Doesn't make any sense! "Leilani smiled:" It doesn't make sense that you are wearing such a long white dress and we still don't blame you for it. “Somehow Teiga got more and more embarrassing. If she was reminded of that wedding again, she was going to kill someone.
"There ... it doesn't matter now! You must have another reason to attack them! ", Teiga shouted angrily, but she got no more answer, because Leilani's men were already about to break open the gates without a sound. "Hey! Listen up ... ouch! “She wanted to stop her, but stumbled because of her too long dress and fell to the floor.After a few minutes Leilani`s warriors were in town while Teiga was busy straightening up in her dress.
"What do you want here ?! ", Called a guard and judging by the noises he was immediately killed by Leilani.
They won't attack Yuna, Kenji or Sky, will they ?! Oh sure not. They already know the three and certainly wouldn't hurt them. But what if the three Leilani attack? Then one of them is sure to die ... and I don't want it to be Sky ...
“Okay, let's make a mini skirt out of the wedding dress! ", She called, tore the lower part of her dress to shreds and took off the white shoes so that she could move a little more freely.
"I think it's really bad of you that you just leave me here! Please stay there! “, She called and followed them, but Leilani had already expected that.
When she stood on top of the wall, she gave a sign to her warriors.They turned around and shot all their arrows at the half-demon, who was also fully hit. "Crap. And I thought we were friends ... Well, what they can do, I've been able to do for a long time! “Was Teiga`s reaction, but when she finally recovered from the first attack, the warriors had already drawn and fired new arrows. An arrow pierced her right shoulder and pinned it to the wall behind her so that she could no longer move. "That was so clear ... first I'm being forced to marry and now this ..." she grumbled. The arrows stuck all over her body made almost no difference to her due to the tough training she had to endure.
"Come on! Kill everyone you see! “, Leilani ordered and pointed to the palace guards who were storming towards them.
For better or for worse, Teiga had to admit that her people had grown significantly stronger since their last meeting. They killed the approaching soldiers with ease, without being injured themselves, and continued to advance.Coincidentally, Alex just came out, noticed the intruders and his dead guards and shouted, "What the ...? Hurry, every man who can wield a sword comes here! We are under attack! “That was the cue for Sky, Kenji and Yuna, who immediately stormed out with flashing blades. "Teiga! What are you doing up there? ", Yuna laughed when she spotted her friend up there, who gave her an unfriendly look. Alex paid no attention to his former lover. In general, he had been ignoring her ever since it was decided that she would marry Sky and not him (involuntarily, but never mind ...).
Sky quickly ran past Leilani`s people and wanted to finally get Teiga down. "Everything OK? He asked worried and she just nodded. But after he had pulled out the arrow that was holding her to the wall, she instantly fell over. He was just able to catch her before she hit the ground.
Oh damn.It was so clear that this was going to happen. The whole situation between him and me isn't embarrassing enough ...
Yuna and Kenji were now busy fighting and paid no attention to the two of them on the wall (well, although it looked cute when he was holding her in his arms). After a while, Teiga freed himself from his embrace and threw himself into the fight. Sky stood there speechless for a while.
What does she have? She's been acting so weird since she confessed her love to me. Could it be that she ... lied? It's a pretty sudden change of heart, at first she says she doesn't like me and the next that she loves me. It would be to be expected of her ... But hopefully not ... L
Unsure, he followed his wife and saw that she was in danger again. She fought three women warriors at the same time and was repeatedly hit by one of her swords. "Leave her alone! He yelled, killing two of them while Teiga finished the last one."Um, ... thank you ...", she mumbled embarrassed and quickly attacked the next one.
"STOP! ", Shouted Kenji, but nobody listened to him. He tried desperately to keep the warring parties apart, but unsuccessfully. “What is that supposed to be? “, Yuna asked and ran to him, bloodied but unharmed. “They don't stop. Humans are pretty stubborn creatures, you know? ", added her. “But that can't be true! Better to unite against the demons than destroy one another. This fight is absolutely pointless! ", He said and shook his head blankly.
“Well, that's the way they are. There is nothing you can do about that, ”said Teiga, who had now joined the group. She stood a bit apart from the action and only attacked when either Sky or Alex were in danger. Each of them responded with a jealous look when they helped the other."Yes! Let's end it once and for all! ", Now called Sky, who stood next to the three. "NO! What's that supposed to mean ?! There is definitely another possibility ... “, said Kenji and looked around indecisively. “You ... didn't listen to us, did you? We have just said enough about this topic to explain to you that it doesn't work any other way! Let's kill them all, that's the easiest! ", Yuna suggested disparagingly and rammed her blade into the ribs of one of the warriors.
He doesn't have them all anymore, thought Teiga. What does he want to do? They never stop fighting for no reason anyway. None of that does any good. He's just crazy about peace. He does not understand that sometimes there is no other way than killing his enemies ...
Kenji ran up the stairs to the city wall and tried to get people to listen to him. When that still did not work after shouting several times, he created a huge ring of fire around the entire city with the help of his demonic powers.This gave him the undivided attention of all those fighting.
“Men - and women - who are gathered here! Alone ... you're just normal people who can't do anything! But together ... together we can defeat the demons! “, He started and had to listen to his own sister making fun of him. "He's really bad, am I right? “, She asked Yuna and suddenly had to laugh. “Well, this is his first attempt, isn't it? Better wait, I want to know how people react to that, ”the girl replied, listening with interest.
“The only advantage the demons have over us is that they fight together! Many of you have already killed one or the other demon and only because you were many and the demon alone. They are doing exactly the same to us now! They take advantage of the fact that our people are divided and extinguish us one by one! Don't let that happen.Don't let them tear us apart like wolves! Let's unite against the demons and win this eternal war! ", He finished his speech and stood indecisively on the wall. He waited for them to either boo at him loudly and keep fighting, or lay down their weapons and agree to him. The only reaction at first was that Teiga kept laughing at him. “Well, I thought it was good. I just don't like it when the demons are put down like that, "Sky said to her and she instinctively took a few steps back from him. You might think that the two would get a little closer after their wedding, but the exact opposite was the case: Teiga distanced himself more and more from him.
“And what do you mean by that? ", Leilani was the first to comment on Kenji's speech. "Um ... that we have better chances if we band together and challenge the demons together? ", Sky summarized everything briefly and was asked by Kenji to continue because Teiga didn't laugh at him.When he noticed that too, it made him a little proud. “I mean, that's what we all want, isn't it? ", he added.
“That's laughable! The demons are far too powerful for us
