351 The Second Blade part one (1/2)
”Nix!” A raspy voice whispered in his ear, followed by the crunching sound of the tiny demon biting the head off of a fish. Sasi shrugged at her brother, who climbed on the bed next to her. ”He sleeps like an old man.”
Rabi frowned at the fish she held in her tiny hand. ”You were going to share that.”
Sasi smiled sweetly, her tiny fangs flashing when she handed it to him. ”Sure, Rabi. Take it.”
The demon hybrid begrudgingly took it from her hand. ”You ate the head again, always taking the best part.”
Sasi shrugged, biting her lip to keep from laughing as she attempted to use the tip of her tail to tickle the side of Nix's face. ”I catch it.”
”Lies... Turtle man gave that to you.” Rabi finished the fish quickly, licking his fingers before reaching for Nix's pillow.
”Rabi...”
Rabi froze in mid-action and glanced at the Inferno leader, who now had one eye open. ”Yes?”
”Don't wipe fish hands on my pillows.” Nix used one hand to shove him off the bed before sitting up.
The tiny demon squealed in protest and slid over the edge of the bed, the sound of his sister's laughter filled the room.
”Nix pushed you off, Dum-Dum.” Sasi's dark eyes danced when she laughed; she quickly let go of her own tail. ”Special mission Nix.”
”Mission? Who and where?” Nix turned slowly until his feet were on the floor. He dimly recalled Fajii saying that she was going to Free Trader City with Nansu and Hyai.
Sasi slipped off the bed nimbly, at just under five feet tall, her tail brushed the floor when she stood. ”We go to Favi City in Dhou. Chiba requires your presence.”
He got up slowly, when everything seemed to still be working correctly; he made his way toward the bedroom closet. ”Chiba? Is Beta already there?”
Sasi nodded, her dark eyes watching curiously while he dressed. ”Turtle house is fun.”
Nix nodded in agreement. ”Things do get a bit lively.” The smooth roof of his home had quickly turned into a water slide as the entire guild took turns cannon-balling into the pond. Somehow Morti managed to get up there... Hopefully, there was still some water left.
Rabi stomped into the closet, glaring up at Nix as he walked by to wash his hands. Unlike the Sasi, the male demons in the Qi family didn't have tails. ”Beta went to help, but now they want you too.”
Nix finished dressing and walked into the kitchen, Gil was sitting at the island waiting. ”Coming with us, Gil?”
Gil nodded, his round face watching as Nix pulled out a boxed lunch and started eating. ”Hyai spoils you.”
Nix chuckled but didn't deny it. ”How do we get to Favi?”
Gil pulled up a map of the four corners area, that included the provinces of Dhou, Mocai, Vespri, and Lana. ”Favi is in Dhou, south, and west of Free Trader City. It should take an hour with horses.”
”Is this an emergency?” Nix hadn't visited Free Trader city and wanted a chance to look around a bit. There was also a Taxidermist that he was hoping to see. One of Ever Flame's crafters had given him the name Wallace.
Sasi nodded. ”She said to show up ready to fight.”
Nix stopped eating for a moment. ”If it was that urgent, why didn't you and Rabi handle it?” Although their personalities were friendly, the two hybrid demons were also very dangerous in any kind of a fight.
Rabi moved beside him, his quick hands snatching a piece of food from Nix's plate. ”As part of her advancement, Chiba must demonstrate the strength of one of her students.”
Nix moved his plate away from Rabi while nodding slowly. ”I better not let her down then.”
