Chapter 11: The Sisters

"Hey sister, how many people are we fighting going to fight on this trip alone!?" I heard my sister call out to me with excitement in her voice as she seemed to almost drool from the thought of fighting. "Don't get your hopes too high sis, this is a reconnaissance mission not a raid or helping a strike squad in breaking through enemy lines."

I said while mountains of foods are compiled into a small magical pouch that master had made using a strange and mysterious method that involves a string. From what I heard, it's a powerful item that was created by a god or some sort of powerful being but I have no clarification on that yet. If I should be thinking about something, it should be my sister's large appetite for food, it really distress me when I go try to find something to eat and everything is gone.

That's why I made sure to pack more food just in case she goes on another eating spree like last time. "Maybe we're going to have ten battle or maybe a thousand more!" She ignored my answer and continued talking to herself as her fist pound away at each in continuous fashion.

"Sigh, this is why you will never have a boyfriend in your whole entire life span." I said to myself but with her super sensitive ears, my sister was able to pick that up as I could tell by her looking at me with a smile on her face. "Oh really sis! I bet you that I could get a boyfriend before you!"

I look at my sister and made a big sigh "Sister, you should know more than anyone else on how involved I am when it comes to love." she smiled and gazed at me with her blue eyes and said "That's why I'm going to win!" whatever, I'll wait until she finally forgets about it and we can go back to doing normal sister stuff.

...

I wake up from that conversation we had earlier before the mission "Damn, why did I have to say such a thing and to make 'that' relevant yet again." I talked to myself while my purple eyes looked at my surrounding. We were inside the portable house that we had obtained before leaving on this reconnaissance mission.

My sister is snoring like a pig as she lied down on another bed that was just across from mine. I had set this place up after clearing the area and made sure those stalkers have finally stopped following us, I then set up the barrier before putting down the house.

That was the less technical way of putting things, there was the scanning sweep I did that shouldn't be as effective since we are in an area with all kinds of creatures. If it weren't the fact that I had to redesign my scan to indicate which creature is which, there were some question marks that identified them as unknown creature, those are what I'm looking for.

The scanning sweep is part of my package of powers, it shows an immensely detailed map of the area inside my head and I'm even able to project to others if necessary. I look through the map that I made improvements too with the added addition of putting names of the people I know and allies that are important in any way.

A dot that shows the I met earlier...why did I do that? Why did I put him as one of the important people to remember? I said to myself as I forgot to even ask his name! Whatever! We will continue with the plans and I will visit him later on a normal schedule of doing nothing.

I reorganized everything and look through the window to see the orange sun that had arisen in between the ground and sky, I could tell even with the trees in the way. "Sister! Wake up!" I said in my loudest voice, if I were to make a comparison to how loud it is, it would be around the level of an explosion. My sister falls to the ground as a loud thump is heard behind me "Sister! Didn't I tell you to wake me up normally?"

I looked at her and sighed once more "Last time I tried that, it took five hours for you to wake up, do you think I would do it again?" I said in a low monotone. My sister in some ways, is a master at fighting and planing out strategies to finish her opponents in a 1 vs. 1 situation.

As you could probably tell, I'm a tactical fighter that uses magic as my main source of weapons, it's versatile and is capable of letting me adapt to situations where I'm not able to. My magic is different from others, it isn't elemental based like some other magicians I have seen or met, I don't even know what to call it.

It allows me to create barriers, hide our presence, seal things, shoot purple light which I don't even think is light and etc. I also have my trump card just in case things gets dicey for me and my sister, all in all my abilities are just a little too useful in some of the things that I do.

"Who cares about my sleeping habits! What I really want to know is what we are doing today!" my sister whines at me while her eyes wonder to the window like mine. "Really, if it weren't for the fact that master spared our lives, we wouldn't be able to see such a beautiful thing..." I look at my sister and started talking as well "That will be one of the few things you might have said that makes sense for once."

I commented, me and my sister start moving after we settled down to have some breakfast. She ate half the food, I then again sighed while eating one bowl full of rice before finishing it off with a bottle of water. This is why I brought a whole mountain worth of food, she will gobble it down under seconds I tell you!

I almost sigh again but figured it was more than enough for a single day and looked at the mess she made. "Thanks for the meal sister!" "Your welcome." I said as my hand-made a snapping sound, a purple bubble appears and covers the plates, it picks all of them into the air before landing in the magic bag.

I used the magic powers of mine to carry stuff and do normal house work and the such, it's extremely useful in these kind of situations. I still haven't figured why my magic is purple and whatnot, so I have been thinking of a name I should call them by, since it might be something that hasn't been discovered in the world yet.

"From what I had gathered, we will move into another part of the forest we haven't scouted and check there, we are not going to fight ANYTHING while we are going there okay?" I had made sure that she remembers that as well, my sister holds the back of her head as she responded with a "Yes ma'am." and burst out of the house.

I then notice, she is still in her green patterned pajamas, I was already in my battle suit in preparation for any attacks. So, my sister was left with her pajamas still on "Sister come back here now!" I dress up my sister quickly with a two dot mask on her face and green camouflage garments that covers her whole entire body.

Now that we are prepared for the mission, I began by creating a invisibility barrier that encompasses me and my sister. I want to avoid all kinds of interactions with the Tansarn operatives in the area for various reasons. One of them being that a fight might break out and cause tension between our separate forces.

Stolen story; please report.

The political situation is also a difficult one to approach since they are one of the more aggressive human nation that taken a more forward approach when dealing with the Tiberis Forest. They had declared it as their territory or in other words a claim and threatens to declare war on anyone who decides to take it.

It's a maneuver that is meant to solidify their influence in the area and to kick out any potential greed in taking the land. I don't think anyone would try to fight a superpower like the Tarnsarn Empire without any proper support. It also doesn't help by the fact my master and the Witch of Carnage also guaranteed the territory as well.

And anyone with a good mind knows not to mess with that Witch which almost always seemed to destroy her opponents and the site where they are placed at. Gaining her the name the Witch of Carnage, I made sure to be extremely careful not to anger her under the circumstance that I meet her.

So, there's that and also the problem we have back home, master has to face all the other demon lords that have rivaled him. Master is one of the Lords of the End, they are the most influential demons in the world with an overall scary reputation that would make any hero that faces them pee their pants.

He was granted this title after he had massacred a whole entire clan of demons that had opposed him and killing one or two lords as well. We were in the forefront of it all as well, and let me tell you it was getting quite dicey for us. Doing fighting upon fighting till the bones in our body creaked from just moving was always something my sister wanted, but not so much for me.

The accurate number of how Lords of the End are about five in total, so yea, it's no joke getting a title like that. "Sis! I've been wondering about something for a while now, what do you think of that boy we met yesterday." my sister looks at me with her eyebrows going up and down while I stopped and she nudge me with her elbow.

Obviously she forgot the bet that she made herself but I still remember "I don't like him if that was what you are implying sister, I think of him more so as a friend than anything else, even if I don't know his name." I set down my boot to crash any sign of me having any sort of relationship that goes beyond friends. 

"Really sis?" my sister makes a sinister grin as we begin to move once more until we reach the site that we haven't scouted yet. There was just an empty field with some grass and trees along the way, nothing really that would signal a bright light to flash or anything like that.

I get on to the ground and try to find any kind of traces of anything that is out-of-place or something that is similar. "Sis! I'm bored! Can we fight something?" I hear my loud mouth sister talk to me as I scout out the area. "Shut it, I'm trying to concentrate on trying to look for clues if there any at all." 

I look around just a little bit more on the ground before I spread out the mana inside my body out into the field to see if there are any traces of magic around here. It's a trick that takes a lot of mana control as I have learned that if you use your mana by not activating it for spells and all that but rather just taking it out of your body, you can still sense it and move it but at the same time you can't use it.

When your mana touches other mana that isn't yours, it senses that the object is foreign and will begin to dispel it. So, I use it as a detector, even though mana is everywhere, mana in a certain area can be thicker than others by a spell that might be used or other sort of things.

That is what I'm doing at the very least, and it seems like I had found something close to one of the trees but something seems odd about it. I don't know why but I feel troublesome about it...tsk! Damnit! "Sister! Get down!" my sister's eyes gone into full serious mode as she ducks to ground pulling me down with her as I set up a bubble shield to defend against the impact.

An explosion occurs as the mana I had spread out had seemed to activated a trapped that senses mana. My purple bubble shield had blocked a large explosion of orange colors and whatnot with enough mana to fight whoever had done that. I let go of the shield after I figured that the show was over and told my sister to let go of me.

My sister instantly smiled under her mask as she let go of me and disappeared from my position, I didn't see where she went but I can probably guess it was somewhere near me. I stood up and used my teleportation spell that lets me move just about anywhere with ease.

I don't use it too often because I'm pretty reserved when it comes to mana and care about efficiency. I have the mind map which helps me locate my sister and take me to her location, while I see two other humans that are facing her off, I'm guess they are the Tarnsarn agents. 

What a pain in the ass, do they have like a problem with us or something? I didn't think about it anymore and moved to her without delay. The location where I teleported too was near one of the tree's branches that was close by, I can support my sister while not being close enough to attract more attention on me.

I patiently wait as my sister just stares at the two humans with their black cloak clothes and hoodies. I can tell they are male from the way they move compared to the natural girl who has a different walking pattern. The two of them seemed to be magic users as an influx of mana is surrounding their body.

You also maybe wondering how I'm able to tell they are Tarnsarn's agents, well, that's easy if you look at the design of their cloak they are using. If you focus your eyes just enough, you can see the marking of the Tarnsarn emblem of a Lion growling and standing on its hind legs inside of the shirt.

My sensitive ears pick up on the conversation that my sister started with a smirk probably behind that mask of hers. "So, which one of you wants to die first?" my sister said as she pounded away her fist. Both of them looked at each and nodded their heads before approaching my sister.

"Oh, so both of you want to die together, bring it on!" my sister said in an arrogant manner. I sighed as I start my observation of how the battle will go, since they don't seem inclined to start a conversation, then again, my sister did threaten them so there is that.
