Ah! So you actually came back, I am delighted to hear that. Perhaps you wish to hear me continue that dazzling tale, very well. Let's continue where we left off, shall we?
The man woke up at dawn, due to the cries of his children which had also waken up his wife. It seems they had a nightmare, that is not good at all! The wife groggily got up and just moved her head to face her husband.
"Therius... I think the kids had a nightmare again, can you please go there? I need to catch more Z's... Come on, I have been on baby duty ever since I gave birth."
He chuckled a little bit, as he just pat her shoulder and moved his head a bit to kiss her on the cheek before he walked towards the bedroom. Only to notice, that it was definitely not a nightmare... Pure rage seeped into the man as he noticed a group of men inside the children's room, not just any sort of men. Those were the king's men.
".....INTRUDERS ARE HERE! VENA! VENA! GET READY!"
And so immediately his wife rushed in here to the area with him, although when she had gotten here. He had already started the battle, time to wrap this scenario up! As they immediately got to brawling! Therius's fist first launched into the solar plexus of one of the men. As they braced and fell on the ground, he immediately grabbed the sheathed dagger of the first man and immediately threw it at the other who had managed to dodge at the last second.
"Damn it! They are good!"
Therius, however, was momentarily off balance, leaving him vulnerable to attack. He fell to the ground because the assailant that he had punched in the vulnerable plexus has immediately twisted his ankle and made him lose his balance, and he was about to get curbstomped but his wife immediately rushed in going at the man who was about to stomp on her husband and with precision and flexibility of a cat yet the raw strength of a warriorress she maneuvered her legs and thrust them forward while jumping at the man who was about to attack her husband, delivering a devestating drop kick and launching the man against the wall. The wall crumbled and the man was sent flying out, great.
"Great work, Vena- AH!"
The man who Therius sent to the ground was nowhere to be seen, as he had appeared suddenly behind him with an elbow to the back of the neck! Painfully stunning him due to the surprise attack, before he fell to his knees. However it was all a part of the plan of Therius, as now that he was down? He immediately grabbed him by the legs and lifted him up only to slam his head against the floor! If their kind had any bones? It would have definitely shattered into a million pieces, as his hand had a radiant glow in them witnessing the last intruder carrying Edelmata and Lazarus with a sword in his other hand that had a vibrant energy flowing through it.
"ANY SUDDEN MOVEMENT AND YOU ARE ABOUT TO WITNESS A POST PONED ABORTION! HAAAAALT-"
The couple gritted their teeth only to see the man that was carrying the children drop them as he was lifted by the back of his neck by... THE KING?!
"I must say, stealing the armor of my soldiers was ballsy. But to damage the reputation of my soldiers by doing heinous acts? You three have earned more than a simple exile. You three are being exiled from existence itself."
The king who's name was Izayo lifted up his hand as the three were surrounded by a dark miasma-esque fog as they suddenly ceased to be. Although not from something as simple as just removing their core idea or concept, but removing them from everything as a whole. And just like that, they were gone. As the couple was in utter shock, as the king had some of his men with him who didn't even flinch from the sight that they had witnessed.
"My citizens, I apologize that you had to have suffered such a traumatic experience. Yet you can now rest assured knowing that the assailants will never come back, ever again. I had a suspicion that such a situation would have happened, there have been several disappearances of issued armor and weaponry from my men. Perhaps I should discuss that with Azazel.. Although, not tonight."
The king slowly moved his head to face them both.
"Therius Ambrjoah, Vena Merqis. You are to not speak of the incident that had occured today, for it will not change anything about the attacks and will only cause conspiracy. And you two know what those could do to your children and yourself, of course. I shall give you two a compensation of... Seven hundred Gold bars, that should definitely ease things. Correct? Now, me and my men are off. We have important business to attend, farewell."
Vena smiled in joy as she just took her children and the bag filled with the bars, although her husband wasn't exactly as enthusiastic at the words of the king. At least now the faking that he had done actually worked accordingly with the results of earning money, but it doesn't help that right now? He doesn't feel good about the actual things he was worried about. He thought that after the assailants got erased right in front of him that his chest would feel light, but now? It feels even heavier than before.
The king and his men left off through a portal, as one of the men had opened it with a mere wave of the hand. These skills and abilities seem to be quite handy, maybe he should get back to training again. In case of another intruding/invasion that happens to his home, but he feels like he is past his prime despite Chivians being in their prime for thousands of years! The rust was showing, and he felt feeble like a turtle that had croaked in age.
But if there is something important to be learned about turtles? Is that despite their lack of speed, they are still capable of being in the race even if it takes them a long time. Although he wasn't as educated about his physiology due to the fact that he never attended any sort of schooling, perhaps him and his wife should do something like that.
A beautiful tale, don't you think? Oh boy! We haven't even started yet! Hehehe.
