Endless Journey: Infinite Realms

Chapter 303 Interlude: Asteria“s typical day as a student Part 3

Asteria: Ugh, my head hurts... Did I drink too much honey last night?

[Asteria then looks around her as her memory returns. Her eye widened as she remembered what happened to her.]

Asteria: We had a class, then we went towards the office of the Endless Monarch. Then there was an attack, and then a massive object hit us head-on! F**k! Is Celeste still alive?

Asteria: Celeste! Where the f**k are you! If you can hear me, please answer back! And Teofilo, please indicate that you are still alive!

Asteria: ...

Asteria: ...

Asteria: ...

Asteria: F**k! They are not answering back! Are they already dead?

[Rumbling sounds nearby]

Asteria: F**k! Why am I even looking for them now? I should take care of myself first! Yes, I must keep myself alive first! Only when I am sure that I am safe that I will look for my minio- friends!

Asteria: Besides, if our defensive wall has been breached, that just means that some of our enemies could have entered this place!

Asteria: S**t, so not only I have to keep myself safe from all this falling debris, I also have to avoid any possible enemies! F**k! This is not how this day should have gone!

[Asteria flies forward while dodging falling rocks from above.]

Asteria: Oh right, there is still Teacher Kuro. Well knowing her, she surely is still alive.

Asteria: ...

Asteria: Okay, since I just got knocked out by that blast, there is still a high chance that I am at the higher floors. And from what I can remember, Teacher Kuro told us to go to the lowest floor to access the teleportation formation. In that case, I guess I just have to go down then!

[Asteria flies down, forcing herself thought a tiny hole]

Asteria: Ugh! What is that smell? It smells so bad? Is it-blergh!

[Asteria starts vomiting honey]

Asteria: What the f**k? There are corpses already? And why do they smell this bad! It was as if they died months ago? Ugh, I need to-blergh!

Asteria: F**k, f**k, f**k! this is getting more and more dangerous! I need to really escape now!

Rough Voice behind Asteria: Hey little fairy, where do you think you are going?

Asteria: Ah!

Rough Voice behind Asteria: I said, where the hell are you going?

Asteria: Uhh...

Rough Voice behind Asteria: What? Why can’t you answer that simple question? Are you dumb?

Asteria: Hey I am not dumb! I am the best student here! In fact I-

Rough Voice behind Asteria: Oh, so you are one of those Guides. How lucky of me to meet one here, hehehe...

Asteria: F**k!

Rough Voice behind Asteria: You said that you are not dumb? Well missy, you are actually dumb! Hey Chad, did you hear this little fairy boasting about her being a Guide? What a dumb move!

Chad: You are right, Brad. This one is dumb indeed. So should we kill her?

Asteria: Hey! You can’t kill me! I-I-I can give you honey!

Brad: Honey my ass! I am a f**king carnivore! Your s**ty honey will just mess up my bowels!

Chad: You are in this kind of situation, and you still think of honey? Your stupidity is making me dumbfounded.

Asteria: You f**kers! Die!

[Asteria turns around as she decided to attack Chad and Brad. She stops as she saw their appearance]

Asteria: W-w-why are there two dragons in front of me? This is not possible!

Brad: What, just because my name is Brad, I can’t be a dragon already? Are you insulting me?

Chad: Well our names really suck....

Brad: Shut it! Don’t make it any more worse!

Asteria: Hey, why are you two here? If you two are dragons, then shouldn’t you be under the rule of the Dragon Monarch?

Chad: We are indeed under the rule of the Great Dragon Monarch.

Brad: Do you have any problem with that?

Asteria: Of course I have! From what I know, all the dragons are adopting an isolationist policy. They will usually not meddle with the matters of other planes, and they will only live most of their life inside the Dragon God Plane. Only when they were offended that some of their dragons will leave!

Brad: Oh, so you are saying that since us dragons have an isolationist policy, we should not be here?

Chad: Well, if it was the normal case, we will not be here. But too bad for you and your friends, we are here because of a special case!

Asteria: A special case? Don’t tell me that the Dragon Monarch... is one of the masterminds behind this attack?

Brad: Oh my, so you are actually smart just like what say. It took some of the Guides we met a few minutes to know the truth.

Chad: But you only took around 30 seconds to deduce everything. You must be an impressive Guide.

Asteria: Hey, I am flattered by your praises, but I should be really going now...

Chad: Oh? So you’re not going to inquire why the Dragon Monarch sent us here?

Asteria: Hehehe, even if I ask, you might not even answer. So I will just not ask.

Chad: ....

Asteria: Umm... can you let me leave?

Brad: Let someone like you leave? Hah! And your dumbness just came back! Why will I let you leave, when we were instructed to collect everyone like you?

Asteria: ...I’m so dead.

CHad: Oh don’t worry. We only kill the Guides that are boring in our opinion. For Guides like you, who are brimming in talent, it will be just a waste to kill you!

Brad: Hahaha little fairy! Even if you complain all the day here, you will not be able to escape from us! So just surrender yourself!

Asteria: I-If you try to fight me, I-I will make sure you two will suffer!

Brad: ...

Chad: ...

Asteria: H-hey! What is the matter? A-are you two scared now?

Chad: Brad, did you hear what this fairy is talking about? She said she will make us sufferr!

Brad: Hey Chad, I heard her saying that. Do you believe her?

Chad: Believe her? As if! Hahahaha! Do you think that we, the Elite Dragon Knights, can be damaged by this weak fairy? Hahaha! Only madmen and madwomen will believe that!

Brad: I think this fairy has already gone crazy. Should we just kill her now? Maybe that will free her from the pain.

Chad: And there you go again Brad. So what if this fairy is crazy? She has talent! As long as we mold her well, we can sell her at a high price!

Brad: Yeah, you’re definitely right. A fairy, and a Fairy Queen at that will surely be a hit amongst our patrons.

Chad: That’s what I have been telling you all this time Brad. We must always look for the best product! And this fairy in front of us is definitely a good product!

Asteria: Y-y-you overgrown lizards! I-I will never allow myself to be captured by you! J-just touch me, and I will make you feel pain!

Brad: Aww, look at this little f**ker, making herself look dangerous. Isn’t she cute?

Chad: Yeah, yeah, she’s already cute. But we should not waste time here anymore. We still have to collect more Guides.

Brad: ....Fine, I shall take this one now.

Asteria: F**k you two! I will not get down without a fight!

[Asteria throws a coin that hits Chad on his head. The coin did nothing as it disintegrated on Chad’s skin.]

Chad: ...That was a valiant attack, but still it is too weak for me.

Asteria: No!!!!

[Chad then grabs Asteria with his claw in order to capture her. But when Chad touched Asteria, Asteria’s body disintegrated, leaving only sparkling dust in her wake.]

Brad: Oi Chad! Did you kill that fairy? I told you to always be gentle on capturing them!

Chad: Brad... I did not kill that fairy.

Brad: If you did not kill her, then why did she disinteg- oh. Oh. Oh. THAT LITTLE F**KER!

Chad: What a sly fairy. All this time, we had been speaking to a clone that was created from Fairy Dust. As for where that fairy’s main body is, she was most likely far away from here already.

Brad: THAT LITTLE F**KER! SHE FOOLED BOTH OF US! SHE MADE US LOOK STUPID! ARGH! I SWEAR ONCE I SEE HER AGAIN THAT I WILL SMASH HER FLAT WITH MY FOOT!

Chad: Good luck with that Chad. I don’t even know if we can catch up to her now.

Brad: We are Dragon Knights! As long as we want to catch anyone, we can do it! We just have to use our advanced senses!

Chad: Then try doing it now. Try sensing where that fairy is.

Brad: Hmph, just you wait, I will detect where that little f**ker is quickly!

Chad: ...

Brad: ...

Chad: ...

Brad: ...

Chad: ...

Brad: ARGHH! I CAN’T F**KING DETECT THAT LITTLE S**T!

Chad: I told you so. In my opinion, I think that fairy must have covered her tracks with her fairy dust while we were distracted by her clone. Because of that, we have no way to follower her, unless we personally dismantle every piece of rubble around us.

Brad: ARGH! SO WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO DO NOW THEN? SHOULD WE JUST LET THAT LITTLE S**T GET AWAY SCOT-FREE FROM THIS?

Chad: Of course not.

Brad: Then what will you do?

Chad: Do you remember that time when we were chasing the criminal Black Mamba?

Brad: Oh that sneaky snake? From what I can remember, that bastard hid himself inside a populated planet, and he then used his camouflage arts to hide himself away from us. Why did you ask me that?

Chad: Do you remember what we did in order to catch him?

Brad: Of course I do! We just- wait, are you telling me that we can capture that s**ty fairy using the method that we used to catch Black Mamba?

Chad: Exactly. And not only we will catch that fairy. By using this method, we can catch all of the Guides that are still alive!

Brad: You’re right! Why did not I even think of that?

Chad: Brad, stop yammering already. We are almost out of time here. If we want to pull this off, we should be starting the preparations already.

Brad: Yeah, yeah, partner. I get it.

Chad: Do you really get it?

Brad: Yes I do! Why are you even doubting me?

Chad: Well, you are the reason that Black Mamba almost escaped last time....

Brad: ....
