Chronicles of Heroes ~ Judge, Jury, Executioner

[Poring Slayer]

Phew, I've been standing here for a while, maybe 10 minutes already? I forgot. I wanna hop on my dark colored Grand Peco and go home already. So boring... and on top it I have to listen to Lord Matthew's complaining. No, it can't be considered as a mere complain, but rage and sheer anger. Yeah, that's more like it. Lately, his below of average boiling point is even lower than usual. Why? It was probably because of the current event.

"Those wretched Light Allegiance! I bet that they have wormed their way into the International Court and some of them are among the juries!" the claim ended with some grumbles from Lord Matthew.

There he goes again. To be honest, I didn't feel happy with the verdict either. One man from my unit was injured and another one was killed in that explosion and the Golemancer got away with just being locked away forever in the prison? At time like this, my old mentor would just say 'That's life'.

"Oh? What are you doing right there?" he finally noticed me.

Seriously, even though he sent someone to me telling to meet him as soon as possible and on top of it he let me in, how come did he forget about it!? Rage mode is scary.. it made people lose their track.

"....Sir, someone came to me earlier and told me that you want me to meet you right away," I answered it smoothly. I'm really great.

"Oh I did, didn't I?"

Yes yes you did. If I weren't in front of you I would do a superb facepalm and right now I have a hard time trying to resist it.

"Ah, wait a moment," not sure why'd he rummage that pile of paper, perhaps he's searching for the instruction paper for this upcoming mission. While at it, I feel that he has been cooled off after he noticed me earlier,
as in being distracted from his rage.

"Here, take this," he ordered me to take the paper that he hold, like usual.

My eyes widened after I saw the content of the paper. It contains the name of all of the scout units and undercover units that consisted in the Dark Allegiance along with a brief description of the units. I, as a leader of an Elite Cavalry Scout unit, knew most of them already since coordinating and reporting activities of the scouts are fall into a few duty of my unit. I've made contact with several of the undercover units and I have the rough idea with the rest, but I have no idea of this certain unit named Murmuring Voice. I never heard nor met any member of it. It's written that they're under Rajnish supervision and only Rajnish and his
close guards are the only ones knew about their identities. How am I supposed to contact them then? Rajnish himself is in coma and his close guards died in that explosion. And what the hell is this 'Do not feed' means!
Argh, my stomach hurts when I think about all of these..

"Now Varanus, I will entrust you and your cavalry scouts to relay message to the other scout units. I want them to gather in Nifleheim to make report and to standby there until further instructions because we can't gather them here in Rachel because a mass number of dark allegiance flooding the city would rise the tension in this city. As for the undercover units, just tell them to submit report up to this point as soon as possible since it's urgent because we might in the verge of a big collision with the Light Allegiance once more," it was a brief explanation of my current mission which effectively increased my anxiety and boosted my stomachache. A full force confrontation with those goody two-shoes would be bad, really.

I simply nod to his explanation. But before I leave, there's one thing I want to ask him, "Uh.. Permission to speak sir?"

"What now? Just speak it up!"

"....Thank you sir. So... about this unit named Murmuring Voice.. how am I supposed to find them?"

"Huh, do we have such unit?" Lord Matthew looks confused to my question, perhaps he also never heard of them.

"Sir.. it's written in here," I flashed the paper to him and then he grabbed the paper.

"This is bad.. Skip them? No way, I need all of the input right now," he returned the paper to me while thinking of something.

How troublesome, even right from the start.. I could use a good sigh after I'm away from his presence..

"Alright I get it. Go and locate Tiamat, she might be somewhere around Yuno supervising the upcoming protest and ask her if she could help us with our current condition since she's in charge of recruiting new members and she's the one who wrote this," there he goes again, saying such irresponsible thing and pushed it to the others.

"..Is it really okay that my unit and I aren't helping with the upcoming protest sir? Since.. it would take.. days.. to locate and relay the messages to all of these scout and undercover units.." I carefully chose my so that I won't anger him.

"I don't mind because gathering the current information is as important as the protest, so you don't really need to mind the upcoming protest," he replied it pretty prudently for someone who lost to anger earlier and tried to push his work to another member of Dark Allegiance Council.

"I understand, please excuse me sir," I bowed to him and then opened the door of his room, stepping outside and close it silently.

"Sigh.." finally I can let out a sigh, it somehow released some burden in my heart.

So my destination is.. Yuno, Tiamat, my unit, and all over the world. And so, I unconsciously let another sigh.
