Chapter 5 - Twilight city

Scene on a white air ship filled with a very of different races and people seats Draugur sleeping as peacefully as he can against the groans of the org next to him and the roaring of the ether engine

But with a loud crash the Ship hits another one marked with graffiti and gang symbols

Shocking Draugur of out of his sleep and a group of man wearing masks and black suit appears led by a woman with long white hair

Piecing blue eyes wearing a long leather coat with a small top white shirt revealing the number 67 on her stomach side and

Her pants one messing a sleeve and the other turn as she wears leather boots she

looks around her expression stoic and disinterested as she says " to all of you here give me your gold and other valuables then we'll let you live" as her codex appears besides her and she takes out a pocket watch to look at the time

The man moving around collect the valuables

But stop when they see the young Draugur sleeping peacefully

Thug one says " Uh boss we think we have a problem here"

The woman walking forward her voice with irritation and annoyances

"What is this problem and why does it need my intervention" she hissed

Thug two stammering to found an answer" uh th..this kid as a codex and..I..it huh as five points

The woman eyes widening as she smiles

" Jackpot, that codex of his would make me rich beyond compare hurry and take it" she said her eyes glaming with greed and happiness

Thug three his voice trembling slightly speaks with a hint of worry" but boss you know what a codex with five points mean right"

The woman now pinning thug three down says "did I ask for you opinion you need to punished pig

Thug three seeming to enjoy this blushes and says " yes ma'am please punish me"

As Draugur now awake and near a telephone says" hello yea I'll need about five emergency vehicles to put up a small group of bandits oh yea a few minutes walk be fine"

As Draugur drops the phone his arms turning a pitch black and steaming as the woman throwing thug three overboard says with a predatory smile

" You have same nerve doing that kid I like it what's your name"

Draugur infront of her prepares to punch her but she blocks with a sword from her codex and her smile grows " non of your business what I do know is Nobody is going to steal from me"

The woman now behind him says will non of you business I have news for you I don't fight brats so you take care of my minions-"

As Draugur kicking her side says" your clothing is ridiculous"

Ad the remaining four thugs run in to attack him but Draugur dodges and counters them all with ease

Draugur thinking" after a month and two weeks of training I guess I got a bit stronger or maybe those guys are weak"

As he knocked down the last thug

The woman now back on her airship sate good bye sweet naive child we'll be seeing each other

As the woman her voice cold and commanding says and the raise of you have out lifed your worth so explode

As runes appear on the thugs they scream for mercy Draugur quick on his feet takes out his Katana and hits them on the head knocking them out and nullifing the spell

As he shouting the woman " I forgot to ask where your name"

The woman laughs to her the question seems foolish and almost a joke but her eyes glowing a deep blue as she mutters "Alpha"as she wipes blood from her cheek

Draugur watching her leave wipes blood coming from his cheek thinks" she was able to get behind me and was obviously faster if she could hit me geez if I fought her I would have been done for before I even became a mystic knight"

Draugur speaking aloud his voice laysted with irritation says " what's worse she didn't tell me her name now how an supposed to be pissed with her"

Draugur looking at the now half alive thugs sighs as a portal appears and six cloaked mages walk through with a tell slim man named Blaze wearing a dark blue leather jumpsuit with messy white hair that covers parts of his face and his eyes glowing a red with a commanding voice says "alright what's going on here man arrest rug cloths over here"as he points at Draugur

Draugur pointing to himself says "what's wrong with my clothes" as he is handcuffed

Draugur being dragged into the portal his codex and sword confected as he yells I didn't do anything you got the wrong guy mister pyjamas

Blaze growling hisses"It's Blaze you little brat and you better respect me you little brat" he slaps Draugur on his head

Hours later Draugur in a large dark cell laying on a cold concrete floor using his arm as a pillow thinks

"My first day in this city and I'm in prison what a drag"

As the sound of loud groaning and banging to he cell door with a loud click opens and a woman wearing a criptop black shirt with a brown leather jacket and beggy trousers that hang from her waist

Her brown hair tied back into a spiky ball and brown eyes shape and piecing as she shouts "watch the codex oaf " she leans on the cell bars and waves her hand dismissively

Listen guys you know me you got the wrong girl this time I would never try to steal from the royal capital"

One of the police mages laughs and with mocked amazement says" yea rightthe great inventor/thief didn't try to steal from the royal house of siliva when she saw an opportunity like anyone would believe that you berm here so many times that your family as disowned you"

Raven laughing sarcastically and mocking says* yea yea bob maybe once I get out of here I'll add murder to my long list of crimes as she turns to face the laying Draugur who's look seems to say what the hell is your deal

As she growls and shouts "what's your problem brat haven't seen a woman before"

Draugur his expression blank and voice flat says" no I have just never seen one that looks like she got her cloths from a dumpster what can't you wear properly

Raven her anger raising says" whatever what do you know about fashion look at those rugs your wearing I'm sure your one of those commons from the forsaken region or something"

Draugur lifting his top half up,crosses his legs and tilts his head to the side with a sigh says "alright let's hear it miss I know fashion why are we in jail"

Raven gasping pumps her hands to her chest" are you serious right now how dumb are you" she said her voice filled with disbelief and surprise

Draugur waving dismissively says" not like we have anything better to do unless you have an escape plan tell my way those idiots locked us up"

Raven sighing her voice growing cold and Expression darkening explained

In this capital there are little to no actual rules expect have the right connections,

This is way this capital is named twilight or the city of two phases where the rules are just myth

Draugur rubbing his chins notices the difference between the city and his home town how the rules his used too do not apply here

Raven looking at the mages outside the cell continues" you see those mages are some of the people who are able to use codices but unable to became mystic knights due to how little ether they have so they work here but also accept any amount of gold they can get even if it means locking up the wrong people for crimes they didn't do"

Draugur sighing says" okay then we in a situation where even do we potentially didn't do anything wrong we still get punished man that sucks "

Blaze to the mystic knight from earlier all be it bandaged and bruised opens the cell and throws draugur his belongs with a pained and flat voice says "sorry for everything Draugur we didn't know you where applying to became a mystic knight"

As Eren and Lyra walk in

Lyra her expression one or happiness and joy much to Draugur shock as she jumps to hug him

Draugur falling back thinks "she's gotten bigger and what's with this crazy ether coming from them"

Draugur trying to hide his shocked says "hey Lyra what's gotten into you, you used to never hug me"

Lyra smiling says" I missed you when we got that latter that you ran away from home we were worried sick about you"

Eren looking to the side says "he actually left before us"

Draugur smiling gently says I'm fine Lyra as Lyra behind crashing him her voice now a growl shouts then never ever again leave like that you hear or I'll rip you a new now

Draugur his expression twisting in pain says ouch okay okay gorilla I understand

Lyra letting him go her expression darkening as Draugur shallows hard and Runs out avoiding a massive fist made of earth

As Lyra shouts her either flairing"WHO DID YOU JUST CALL A GORILLA I AM A YOUNG LADY NOT SOME HAIRY BRUTE!!!!"

Draugur dodging her attacks says I'm sorry but your...never mind

Eren looking at the two fight thinks "she's a bit brute side now I don't know what training she's been through but she's definitely stronger then me physically then Draugur I couldn't sense it earlier but this aura coming from is different from our"

Minutes later bruised and battered Draugur seats inbetween Eren and Lyra as laze head bowed in apologize says "I'm truly sorry again if there's anything you need please tell me

Draugur now wearing new clothing a white shirt with a black coat, black trousers and button boots ajusts his collar and looks at the cell he was in and points says" could you release her "

Everyone shocked gasps and the magepolice from earlier says but she's a

Draugur cutting him off his aura changing the temperature and atmosphere says " is there a problem because if there is I'm sure we can resolve it"

Blaze with a open mouth says" release her but under the conditions she becames a mystic knight"

The Mage walking towards the cell opens it Raven staring at the mages round house kick him to the floor and walks out ribbon her wrist and with mocked amazement says "finally realised it wasn't me good I'm going back to my workshop"

Blaze stopping her says "whoa here Raven you have to listen you are only our because of Draugur over there"

Raven sighing says"what does he want a cookie or something"

Blaze with a smirk says" no but you re becaming a mystic knight as a punishments for your crimes you'll be in service along side Draugur"

Draugur eyes widening and his expression changing to one of shock says "wait I never agreed to that"

Blaze glancing back at him says" it's not an issue right but don't worry you can take it up with me anytime"

Blaze thinking to himself "I really wish the captain told me this was the kid I as supposed to accompany if it wasn't for those he looks at Eren and Lyra two he wouldn't have gotten out so easily but I wonder would be be able to change Raven

Raven huffing turns to the side and says" brat we leaving"

With a blur of motion she Noe by a window

Draugur on her shoulder with a cold voice and stare says" next time I won't be so nice about any misunderstanding" blaze as she jumps off

The next day Draugur sleeping comfortably in a small but clean room as Raven Bursts in with a mop in hand waking Draugur she hisses "since your the idiot who got me into this mess you'll do the cleaning*

Draugur sleepy groans and with a flat voice says firstly you "got yourself in jail I got you out with a condition "

Draugur thinking" I had that same dream again it's annoying seeing that veiled women it's like she's right next to me but so far then there's that bandit from yesterday"

The scene shifts to a half circle cough in the middle of a bar were Alpha seats holding a file with draugur name on it as she smiles and says Draugur
