Chapter 15: Chapter 15
~Omni pov~
Cid then calmly walked towards the carriage and opened the flaps to get a look inside with one look inside he saw a body with black markings all over it just a few days away from completely turning into a corpse.
Cid just sighed before reaching out his hand to fix the magic overload the body was experiencing, however before he could get started Alpha appeared right behind him with Iron following closely behind
She pulled softly on the long coat of the suit to grab his attention
Shyly she asked "Could you teach me how to do it. I want to be able to help them as well."
Cid just smiled and said "sure" and so with the use of Ruler's Authority he pulled the body out of the cart and held it infront of him he then grabbed Alpha's hand which made her cheeks gain a red coloring showing she was embarrassed.
While holding her hand he guided her magic to slowly fix the body that was suffering from the curse. Slowly but surely the blacken part of its skin started disappearing until what stood floating in the air was a beautiful white haired elf.
Cid then carefully put her on the ground which caused her to wake up from her sleep and as she woke up she didn't feel that agonizing pain she usually felt
The white haired elf then started looking all over her body and once she saw that it was all clear she looked up in surprise and with teary eyes asked "H-H-How is it possible, I was supposed to die, how am I still alive"
Alpha then decided to introduce herself "I am Alpha, and I belong to an organization called Shadow Garden..."
Alpha then went on a long rant about everything she learned and about how her master was the one to cure her and heal her body.
The white hair girl then bowed down towards the floor and with teary eyes said "Thank you, thank you" many more times expressing her gratitude.
Even though she was grateful she was still shocked by all the information Alpha has provided her, it would almost seem unreal if it didn't sound logically and totally plausible.
She then looked at Cid with wonder and gratitude in her eyes.
Cid while looking at her just surrounded her in his shadow and got her dressed in the slime suit making it a perfect fit for her and once he dispelled the shadow he said
"From today forward you shall throw away the previous name you once held and from now one shall be known as Beta
Welcome to Shadow Garden!!!"
And with that Beta has officially joined Shadow Garden becoming the second member to join.
Two weeks later...
Beta's face can be seen to have a green coloring as she kept getting sick after cutting down a bandit after their annual bandit hunting to get more training in.
Due to Beta not being a part of Shadow Garden for long she is still indecisive about what to do with her life and how to go about it, which distracted her during battle.
Which gave the bandit a perfect opportunity to deal a decisive blow on her but before that could happen the head of the bandit just flew off his shoulders.
Alpha was the one who saved her as she has gotten much stronger after practicing her swordsmanship with Igris and all the other knights Cid has in his ever growing army.
After Alpha finishes off the last bandit Beta can be seen still out of it and distracted which causes Alpha to just shake her head and sigh and tried to comfort her
But no matter how hard to tried she still couldn't get through Beta. Alpha last choice was to ask help from her master but before she could ask for help Cid just grabbed onto her shoulder and said with a confident smirk
"Don't worry, I got this".
Alpha just gave him a smirk back having full confidence in her masters ability to be able to help Beta.
And with that they all went to sleep
After a night out bandit hunting, Beta goes to bed in a abandoned house in the middle of a ghost town, which Cid remodeled with the help of his shadow soldiers, and just lays there staring at the ceiling unable to fall asleep properly due to her frequent night terrors
And while still staring at the ceiling she hers a chair next to her bed scoot closer which causes her to jump slightly and when she looked over she saw her master with a book on his hands
She then softly whispered "Master Shadow" due to Cid constantly calling himself the Shadow Monarch both Alpha and Beta have started to call him 'Master Shadow' out of respect.
Cid then looks at Beta with a soft smile and says "So I heard you are having difficulty in deciding what to do next and what to do with your life I hear"
Beta with a bit of hesitation just slowly nods.
Cid just nodded right back and says "very well then I guess I'll just have to share a bit of my knowledge and wisdom with you"
Beta then gets a bit excited about being able to learn new things about the one she now calls master
Cid then proceeded to tap the side of his head as he said "You see in my head there is the knowledge and wisdom that spans across multiple worlds and universes" 'Aka Manga, Novels, and anime' Cid thought the last part to himself.
'As expected of Master, no wonder he's so smart and strong' Beta thought as her worship towards her master increased.
"Are you ready?" He asks her which was followed by Beta rapidly nodding.
Cid then brings his hand near his mouth and clears his throat
"Ahem Ahem Ahem"
And in a deep voice he starts off
"Fame, Wealth, Power..."
he then proceeded to tell the best story that ever existed.
