Ch. 1: Elite Captain, Fa Jin

Ch. 1: Elite Captain, Fa Jin

The man with long, dark hair stood afloat in the breeze. The man walks forward, stepping down in a way similar to walking down a staircase.

"Turn back now, i will not ask twice." He says in a brooding, loud voice. He continues walking, walking on air itself as he moves to stand before Ezra, their faces so close their noses are nearly touching.

Ezra apears frozen, his Chain-whip is shattered, he glances fearfully at the long, slim blade in the man's right hand. He knows that trying to summon his whip again is a sure-death scenario.

He steps back slightly, but the second his foot makes contact with the ground behind him, the tip of the man's sword is immediatelly at his neck.

"What's wrong? Not so confident now, are we?" Fa Jin mocks, bringing his blade closer to Ezra's neck, breaking skin and making a few drops of blood fall onto the sword's tip.

Helena looks on in horror, covering the eyes of the little kids beside her. She grits her teeth, telling the children to stay put as she moves out of the bushes and walks out into the view of Fa Jin.

He looks at her with slight shock at the earings she wears, earings in the shape of water droplets. He smirks smugly. 

"This is getting quite interesting... Aren't you a lively lady?" His smirks grows wider as he sees her summon a sword of water, "what else can you do, Principle?"

He says again, now grinning like a maniac as he turns Ezra around and puts the sword to his neck, "one step and this kid will lose his head, i don't enjoy killing children that much but i won't hesitate to do it anyway."

Helena freezes, her sword dissappears and she lifts her arms up above her head as a sign of surrender, "we can solve this without violence, there is no need for any of us to die tonight..." She says reluctantly.

Fa Jin lets out a sinister chuckle as he turns his head to the brushes next to Helena, "Come out now brother, no use in hiding..." He says and from the bushes emerges Qiang Jin with a sour expression.

"Well, it's quite a surprise, of all people seeing you is the last thing i expected... To be honest i was quite hoping you were killed by a dire wolf so i wouldn't have had to worry about seeing your ugly face again..." He points his sword at Qiang and bends his knees as if preparing for an attack, but Johan quickly rushes to attack Fa Jin with his swords already drawn.

The Elite Captain's eyes widen for a moment before he lets go of Ezra and slashes, breaking Johan's swords and sending him flying with a kick to the chest, he immediatelly dashes to attack Qiang who had started running towards a few houses, but his gaze turns to Helena who is trying to summon her realm, he quickly changes his targets and dashes at Helena, slashing her waist.

She stops speaking and falls to her knees, her guts spilling onto the ground. She vomits blood and the Captain's smirk dissappears.

"I had meant to cut you in half, its quite refreshing to see an opponent who is strong enough to withstand my strikes." He turns his head and smirks again upon seeing Johan rushing again, this time straight at him.

He assumes a stance and strikes with his sword in the same manner as before but this time Johan easily parries and almost stabs Fa Jin in the chest, had only barely manages to dodge, his long brown and white robe gets slashed in the process and he scoffs.

"Annoying... A vagabond child who dares strike me?" He looks up and sees the golden chain-whip flying at him, he dodges again easily with a bored expression.

His eyes widen once more once a sharp slash of water flies past his head, cutting a few strands of hair, forcing him to have a realisation... These children can actually kill him! He quickly bend down and touches the ground with his open palm creating a small blue seal on the floor.

"Realm: Endless Flower Garden!" He yells out angrily summoning a large almost, endless looking garden filled with beautiful trees and flowers.
