The First looked at Amilios as if she was looking at a fool. How was he trusting someone who was a prisoner? What was the reason she even came down? To talk to this prisoner? She didn't know the reason. Something was bothering her, at least she now knew some monster had a loyalty. To be loyal in his situation was admirable, even most humans couldnt do that.

Moon, who was getting bored of not being able to move, sensed someone coming. It was the commander who had full black clothes on. She truly looked like a thief ready to steal something. Cloud knew she was someone who was respected in this city and thus did not understand why she had to sneak around.

" Is the dressing some kind of traditional clothes for interrogating enemies?" Moon blurred out the only possible reasoning he could think of.

The concept of the unknown was always present but invisible to the eyes. That's how it should've been but what was in front of her, was nonchalantly talking monster. To add more, it wasn't a monster made of flesh but a cloud.

" Hello, the world is calling you miss. Did you come all the way here to be just dazed" Moon couldn't understand the woman in front of him.

The commander's eyes flickered hearing the cloud's words. She knew as the leader of this city, people would come to her looking for an answer. Answer she clearly didn't have. She had come to see the monster to reel information but now that she was looking at the cloud. She didn't know where to even start from.

Moon looked at the woman who only stared at him. Since she didn't feel like talking, he just ignored her presence and continued what he was doing. One standing and another floating, neither doing spoke for 15 minutes before the commader decided to open her mouth.

" Are there more intelligent monsters like you out there? Where did you come for? Is there reinforcement behind you?" The commander finally asked the questions that were needed to be asked.

" I thought you became mute, how about we start with introductions? Am a gentlecloud called Moon, what's yours?" Moon asked

" I am a human called Cristiina, the leader of this city" Cristiina knew Tartiib was the second closest city to the forest and was one of the weakest cities. If an intelligent monster like this cloud were to invade the city. She alone wouldn't be able to protect the citizens, nor she would be getting any enforcement. The nobles didn't care about protecting a land this far.

Not knowing all the worries Cristiina had in her mind, Moon continued the conversation. "Nice to meet you Cristiina " Moon formed cloud hands for Cristiina to shake. She shook his hand not knowing why she did that.

Fortunately, Cristiina could actually touch his cloudy hands, which surprised her, considering everyone tried to move the cloud only to go through him. She noted to herself that the cloud could choose what it wanted to touch.

" First of all, we didn't come here to wage war on humans. All we wanted was justice and since we achieved that, we will be leaving soon" Moon tried to give a straight answer to Crsitiina. On the other hand, Cristiina was puzzled when he said they had achieved their objective.

How did they achieve anything when the cloud and his company were locked? While she was contemplating, Moon's body shook just enough to be noticed. The cloud moved, breaking the little shelters made around him.

"I thought you couldn't move. Was the artifact deactivated" Cristiina thought there might have been some humans, that helped to deactivate the artifact. Humans helping the monster was something she hadn't thought of. Before she could speculate more, Moon answered her question.

If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.

"No, the artifact is still activated. I can still feel its restriction. Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to mess around. It would be bad if those guys ended up doing something drastic" Moon tried to sense where Amilios was held. Moon found him in some underground cellar.

"Are you telling me, he could have escaped a long time ago but you didn't" Cristiina couldn't believe what was happening, she thought the cloud was harmless but all this time it was only their assumption, the danger was was never contained. This fatal mistake could have endangered every single life of this city.

The commander bit her lips as she couldn't do anything to keep the cloud inside. She couldn't protect herself or anybody else from this monster, was the city going to crumble?

Seeing the dead serious look of the commander. Moon couldn't help but sight. " I am not some demon that looks for blood. I have no intention of killing any innocent humans. That wasn't the plan before and isn't now."

Even with Moon's words, Cristiina still didn't relax. What kind of idiot would accept monsters' words? All she could do now was truly hope the monster was telling the truth. Something she never thought would happen. She would have fought with all she had but her senses were tingling crazily about this monster. All that the mana taround he cloud, he was walking disaster.

She wasn't the type to fight the inevitable but she would if the cloud endangered the humans.

Leaving the anxious commander, Moon broke the ground and headed straight to where Amilios was. The first, who was still with Amilion took a stance, only to see the cloud breaking down.

" Time to go Amilios"

" Finally, it was nice to meet you miss..."

"My name is Kaya and unfortunately I can't let you escape. I was after all hired for a reason." The First couldn't let them escape and abandon her duty.

" I like the attitude but you can't beat me, let alone our boss. I like her. Can't we just take her with us, she would be fun to be around"

Moon:"..."

Sky: "..."

" We don't kidnap people, that ain't right Amilios" Moon looked at Amilios seriously. He had to teach young ones early ( He wasn't much older himself). Seeing the serious atmosphere, Amilious shouted.

" I know that, I wasn't thinking about kidnapping. I was thinking of asking her employees to let her go and then ask her to come with us willingly"

" We indeed could do that. I have nothing against if she is coming on her own accord" Moon was trying to sense where were the overprotective parents but instead stumbled upon a familiar aura. Seeing Neon and skele sneaking around, he could already guess what they were looking for.

Seeing Moon flying up, Amilios looked at Kaya " The only way you can follow us now is if I carry. Don't worry, we arent leaving this city yet"

Instead of answering Amilios, Kaya jumped from wall to wall, heading towards the hole Moon made on the ground. Amilios couldn't help but laugh wat her stubbornness.

Neon, who was going through the room, looking for the artifact, saw Moon through the window. He was confused as to why Moon was able to move, did Skele get the artifact? As he opened the window, Moon told him what happened.

" Go fetch skele, he is next door" Hearing Moon's words, he did exactly that and got Skele from next door.

Now that the group was ready, Moon tried to sense one more time to find the parents. Moon found them but they were with their daughter. Moon asked Amilious to go get the white tiger. Amilios flew fast into the sky, he didn't forget to tell Red that Moon was safe and able to move again.

Of course, hearing Moon was alright, Red flew back with Tiger and Amilios. It did not take long until they were in front of the Moon.

" Glad everything is alright, Tell me later what happened," Red said later just in case some people were spying on them. It was better to wait than to reveal how to get rid of an artifact's effect. Secrets of that kind magnitude were filled with misfortune.

Moon gave a thumbs up " Will do, Then shall we go now" Moon headed to the second floor where the parents were. He didn't feel like informing them, so he just blew the whole window.

The father immediately put his daughter and wife behind him and the mother put the daughter behind her. When the cloud came into their view, the family head was in shock. Nobody was supposed to be able to move in that situation.

"Whats with the surprise look, did you see a ghost?" Moon couldn't help but tease the couple. Sky jumped into the room from outside. She looked at the nervous look of her employees. She wondered how did the situation end like this.

" As you probably noticed by now. Nobody can stop us from your daughter. Fortunately for you, I decided to help in educating your daughter instead of cooking her alive, is that fine with you" Moon was asking the question the white tiger.

" I am fine with that,since she would experience something worse than death. If she can overcome that as a sane person, it is her luck" Bolt said sinisterily.
