"These.. demonic creatures have been increasing in number and size lately, haven't they?"
The boy who sat on the bed said, his hair jet black and in his hands were some documents. He looked up at the white haired boy, his eyes, a white with star pupils, stared at the white haired boy who was drinking water.
"Azreal, when do you think the 3 of them will be done with training?"
"Usual time, and you should just sit still for this mission"
Having placed the bottle down in the table, Azreal walked towards Elijah and sat next to him, before poking at his bare body that was bandaged
"Ow! Don't poke me.. it hurts."
"So you know it hurts."
"It was either Kevin get impaled in the face or I take it. I simply blocked the blow. Besides, normally my body regenerates on its own and quite fast too!"
"He could've dodged, heck, you could've pushed him out.. why did you- argh Nevermind. You're always so impulsive when it comes to this, at least you actually do have good regenerative abilities for some reason."
Azreal lied down on the bed
"Hey, you know this my bed, right?"
Turning his body to the side, Azreal simply leaned his head on his elbow and replied
"Sharing is caring. I used to wear your shirt when we were younger anyway. So about that new mission. You're sitting out.. right?"
"No way! Why would I? Just because of an injury in my abodomen? I'm stronger than you know"
Elijah said smugly, flexing his muscles
"I'm not stronger than you but I haven't been impaled by a sword multiple times, have I?"
"… you got me there"
"Back to the point, read out the document and just give me a summary"
Elijah cleared his throat, holding the documents up and smacked Azreal's forehead with it before speaking
"We'll be heading to the countryside, a village to be exact. There's been more spotting's of demonic creatures and beings there since last year that's only been reported this year . We are to head there and exterminate them, and if possible, find the reasons behind their activity, for both the authorities and the demonic creatures."
"Okay, so was that smack to my forehead necessary?"
"Yes"
They both then heard the door in the living room open
"Guess they're home, I'll brief them after they shower"
Azreal sat up, snatching the documents away from Elijah
"No, just sit there with them, I'll brief them for you. Also, wear a shirt"
Azreal then walked out of the room and closed the door.
Elijah sat up and stretched before putting on a tank top. He then walked to the mirror and checked his back
'This tank top is getting too small for me'
On his back, he could see a glimpse of a yellow star poking out of the tank top.
Though others dismissed this as a birth mark of sorts, what kind of birth mark is as big as some guy's back and is a star?
'Guess I need to buy XL clothes soon'

"Another mission? Elijah's still injured though. Can we just leave him here?"
"Last time we did that, he ran out and came to find us and almost got all of us killed"
The two women sat on the couch, discussing after they heard azreal's briefing.
A blue haired boy laid his head on Elijah's shoulder
"What should we do? Our poor, overworked Elijah is about to be sent on another mission again!"
Elijah absentmindedly patted the blue haired Boy's head
Staring at the strange image of a muscular bulky men getting pat by another, Serena scoffed, before putting her hands on the woman next to her.
Touching the woman's lilac coloured hair that was currently let down, Serena pulled off a woeful voice
"Is it really overworking if this guy volunteers? Overworking is what they do to saoirse! The amount of paperwork she had to do because she didn't want to go on the field once was honestly indescribable"
Saoirse, who had her head moved to Serena's lap, simply adjusted her position to be more comfortable
"Well, I don't think your Saoirse has been impaled multiple times like MY Elijah~"
"Who are you calling your Elijah?"
"Enough"
Staring at the two bantering idiots, Azreal quickly put a stop to the discussion.
"You guys aren't even couples so what are you doing referring to them as "yours"? Anyway, we'll begin the mission tomorrow. So pack up the necessities today."
Just as Azreal was about to end the discussion and walked off, he clicked his tongue and stared at Elijah
"Oh right Elijah, pack your stuff into our bags instead of your own. We don't want you to carry heavy stuff right now"
Elijah simply clicked his tongue and pushed Kevin's head off his shoulder and leaned back
"Tch.. treating me like a baby"
****
I awoke from my slumber, again, having had a prophetic dream
'A village in the south east.'
Adjusting my pendant to be outside of my shirt, I wore my jacket properly and tucked in my shirt.
I stared out at the bright sun as I thought about my next moves.
'I need to find the hero in the south east'
I packed up my sleeping bag and placed it into my spatial ring, a rare artifact that probably cannot be created anymore without "the divinity of time"
I probably won't need to bring out this sleeping bag for some time, I've been in "slumber" for the last 20 years after all.
I walked out of the cave I had once called my home, sharing with the people who saved me.
'Time to fulfill the last mission.'
