Chapter 6

"My name is Zelphus Zea, but everyone called me Zelphi for short," She continued, "I guess Jack forgot to tell you four about me, or about the curs-." Before she could finish the sentence, Aeir fired a round from his gun. The bullet sounded like it hit something other then wall, and seconds later, an Enraged fell, dead. Zelphi was about to say something, but she saw what it was. "Night-Haunt, figures out why people keep dying, and why you're trapped here. Now that it's gone, you're able to leave." Zelphi thought about it, leaving the inn for the first time in a year, not being trapped anymore.

"Would it be okay if I went with you?"

-Morning-
When everyone woke up, Aeir was talking to Jack, who was amazed that the "curse" was just an Enraged. Dark noticed the girl next to Aeir, but couldn't here anything. All three walked in as the conversation ended. Aeola, and Zeo were more confused, but Dark knew Aeir solved what was happening. As the five left, Lili contacted Aeir about the mission about the inn. A wealthy man appeaed on the screen, asking if his daughter was safe, but Aeir told him the only girl he found was Zelphi. The man didn't like the fact his little girl was gone forever, he paid Lili for the mission being completed, then left. Lili spoke to Aeir, "Aeir, who's the girl? You know what, forget about it, get going the the ruins before the Enraged destroy it all." With that, Lili ended the call.
Zeo went to Aeir and talked to him, "She may not be a curse, but I would be careful. She could be more trouble then she's worth." Aeir ignored it as the continued to the ruins.

-An hour later-
"Finally! I thought we'd never get back here!" Aeola rushed to the commotion, Zeo and Dark behind here. Aeir was about to go, but Zelphi grabbed his arm, but it didn't stop him. Zelphi climbed onto Aeir's back, to avoid falling. "Zelphi, sorry about that. My mistake, I should've warned you, also, holding on might be a good idea!" Aeir pulled out a flare gun, then contacted Dark. "Understood." Dark picked up a metal rod, and melted a hole into the pole, placing a dagger inside. The dagger grew into a scythe, and Dark charged into battle, Zeo drew his sword, and Aeola drew two daggers. When Aeir and Zelphi landed, Enraged swarmed them. Zelphi closed her eyes, fearing the end, but only heard cries of death, none of them sounding human. She opened her eyes, every Enraged was dead, and Aeir stood there, guns drawn. Zelphi pulled out a katana, and gave it to Aeir. "Be careful." With that, Aeir rushed off, Zelphi's katana in one hand, a dagger in the other. Aeir didn't notice that the dagger was glowing until it had transformed the katana, what was weirder it that Zelphi's voice came out of the new sword, "I figured this would happen, but not this soon. The sword's name is Zephurion."
With that sword, Aeir swung the blade, purifying every Enraged in the ruins.

-After the battle-
The professor who sent the mission was amazed by what Compass Star could offer. Aeir contacted Lili again, "Lili, mission's done," The professor walked up to Aeir and asked to talk to Lili, so Aeir handed the phone to him, and ran to find Zelphi. He found her, but she was now in human form.
"Mission's done, and you're back to human form. The question is this: Are you going to continue to follow us?" Zelphi nodded yes, then Zeo and Aeola walked up to Aeir. "If it's okay with you, me and Aeola would wish to join Blade Kings also." Dark walked in as they were talking, "So we have three new members to the guild, we just got payed for two missions, and Aeir, here's your phone."
