Chapter 135: Chapter 135
Arthur's Point of View
Over the Middle Ocean
Another day or so had passed, and we were still on our course toward Vithari. Things were proceeding without any more setbacks, which made me even warier. After all, I'd learned that things never went according to plan in these types of situations.
While in my room, a knock rang out from the door. "Who is it?"
"Lucia. May I come in?"
"The door is open." I told her, and she cracked the door open to peek inside. "I'm not walking around naked if that's what you're worried about."
Her face flushed slightly at that, but she stepped inside. "I was hoping we could talk about something."
Gesturing to her as I leaned back in my chair, I spoke. "Depends on the topic."
Lucia frowned for a moment but slowly closed the door behind her. "You." She stated firmly as the door shut. The chapters is up by N0vEI__bin
"Me?" She nodded. "That is an interesting topic, but not one I am a fan of participating in." I told her. "What about me do you need to discuss, specifically?"
Pulling away from her, I had no idea what expression I was making, but I was in no mood to continue this conversation. "Enough."
"You are an honest soul that has been through more than most have..." She stated. "I am here if you need to talk." Looking back at her, Lucia still looked at me with that damn smile that reminded me so much of Mara. "After all, I like how blunt you are when we speak. Not many act in such a manner around the Temple. Especially not around the Priestesses or myself."
"What a coincidence. I kind of like that about myself too. So, you'll appreciate it when I say, I have nothing else to say about this." Then I gestured to the door. "Feel free to go about your business, and I can be left alone to my thoughts."
"Thoughts that revolve around the Skelds?" She inquired before sitting on my desk with no intention of leaving. "You said they were Demons, correct?" Lucia asked as I frowned at her refusal to leave.
"They are."
Lucia was quiet for a moment before she hummed in thought. "What else can you tell me about them?" A mischievous smirk appeared on her lips. "After all, Skelds are not in any book I have ever read. I would love to know how you know about them."
My eyes narrowed at her. "What are you implying exactly?"
She merely leaned back and shrugged lightly. "I would never imply anything. My curiosity is merely piqued."
Rolling my eyes again, I stood and moved away from her. "Ask your Priestesses. I'm sure they'd love to tell you."
"Why do you think they would know?" Lucia inquired. "If they did, would they not be in the Bestiary?"
"One would think." Was my dull reply.
However, before I could continue, screams could be heard above deck. Lucia and I looked at each other for a split second. Grabbing Defiance from where it leaned against the dresser, I moved past Lucia and ran down the hall and up the stairs. Upon reaching topside, the flapping of wings could immediately be heard, and Skelds were everywhere as spells were being launched in every direction. Stepping onto the deck, I entered the battlefield, and I heard Lucia follow right behind me.
