We talked for an hour. Nothing else was really done. Dycendarg denied any involvement. He adamantly spoke of being framed. He covered his tracks well with speaking of trying to lure members of the Northern sky to try to expose them trying to overthrow the king. He had documents of his own to help support his plan. Zalbag genuinely believed him with Ramza also agreeing. Alma had doubt on her face but read the documents and agreed easily.
I knew why. She wanted to believe there was some good in her brother. A foolish stupid notion I thought myself. When everything was said and done I received a promotion to Knight Commander as well Ramza having been promoted to Captain. As for Dycendarg, he received a slap on his wrist for plotting using methods unbecoming of a member of the household.
"That will be all. Thank you for your help, Judge." Barbaneth said smiling. Alma refused to let go of his hand. Ever the dutiful daughter.
"No problem." The Judge said smiling with a strain. He didnt believe it himself but didnt do anything outside his authority. "I must take my leave. The capitol will be very happy to see you are healthy again." The Judge stepped away and stopped by me. "Azul Sunstrider, we will be watching you carefully." His voice came out hard with an edge to it. The others couldn't see his face since he was looking directly at me. He said that but mouthed to me he was sorry.
"I will tread carefully," I said giving him a grin. Trying to look as if I felt anxious a little. With a shrug of my shoulders, I then offered him my hand for a shake. "Sorry for wasting your time." He took it easily and gave me a firm shake. I passed a magical stone over to him. A way for me to talk to him later. Walking out he was gone back to the capitol.
"All of you go, get the place back in order. I heard fighting." Barbaneth ordered. "Alma and Azul stay. We have much to talk about of your behavior." His voice was chastising. The others nodded and left.
"What were you thinking? Joining the Akademy?!" Barbaneth asked Alma once the doors closed. "You should be studying at the monastery." His voice was warm and affectionate to her. A very doting father already despite the information he received.
"I know father.. but I to am a Beoulve. I will do my part. Besides.. the church of Gabdos is corrupt. I will not stay in such a filthy organization." Alma said finding her resolve. I didnt think she had it in her. "Ramza supports my decision after a little convincing."
"Oh and the others?" He asked looking at her smiling. He then looked to me. "What say you Azul?"
"She needs to do something. I rather she does not turn into a useless woman. Or a plaything in some nobles bed like Dycendarg plan's." I moved from the fireplaced were had stood stroking away at a fire. "But if you dont care to listen to reason... I guess its fine to let you daughter become some bed wife of another filthy useless noble." I felt a headache hit me. "Ugh."
"Azul!" Barbaneth said to me. "Surely my son wouldn't do such a thing to his own blood."
"Pft! He does not see her as his own blood. She knows it. Muddled waters from a common woman. That boy shares nothing of your honor. But then again.. maybe you havent much honor if you didnt even have that boy arrested." I started walking towards the door. "I am starting to think saying you was a dumb idea." I stepped out into the hall where my people were waiting. Draco and Argath were angry.
"Let us walk back to my area. It is not safe here." I said to all of them.
"Cousin," Ramza said from the back. He walked forward with a smile. " My Lord Father ruled everything is ok. Surely you can not still have doubts?" Argath and Draco looked at me waiting for my answer. So did the others.
"I have no doubts at all." The others looked a little downcasted at my words. Ramza smiled happily. "Your brother is absolute filth and a disgrace to the name you hold so dear. But it is simply amazing how stupid you all are.. Your brother will cause so much pain and suffering that it will take him killing someone right in front of you for you to see it. Your father is a fool."

"Smack," Ramza smacked me across my face. "Dont speak ill of my father!" I had sent my hand out grabbing him by the throat. "Scrrch," I pushed him up the wall.
"Oh.. boi. You ot not done that." I felt my psycho power lash out. "I could kill you right now.. your sister.. your brothers... your squad... even your father despite the fact I spent time-saving him. But that would make it harder to keep the people safe. They shouldn't have to suffer for your families stupidity.
"Kuff," Ramza coughed and started to tap against my arm. "Your family as well." He said to me voiced starting to strain.
"My family.. is all dead. My blood family anyway. All that is left are the people I accept as my new family and my extended family which would be my squad. You dont fall under either." My grip tightened on his neck. I wanted to crush it. "So weak.. so fragile.. not worth it." I dropped him and walked off. My people following me. I smelled the scent of one of Dycendarg's men nearby but no reason to silence him.
-Back in my area-
"I cant believe nothing is gonna happen," Draco said walking around the room fuming after I told them all what happened. The strands let me know they were all feeling like crap. "This is not justice!"
"No, it is not," I said sitting in my chair. Tia had moved over bringing me the reports that our people went over. I stopped looking at one file and handed it to Mileuda. "Your brother's whereabouts. They have found him and the remnants of the Corpse Brigade."
She took the file happily. Reading it over she frowned. "Damn it. I need to take some people with me. I won't be able to get to him alone." Agria gave her a look and a nod.
"Agria, I want you Carn and a few others to go around the area. You are hunting for any of the people on our list." I pass the paper over to her. "Kill them or detain them. Your call. These are the nobles who have abused there authority with the citizens. All knight commander I have the authority to bring judgment down on them."
"Of course," Agria said smiling for once. Carn nodded agreeing.
"Banka take some of the others and find what you can. Investigate as you need. If you find gold along the way... give it to the people." He gave me a grin and left unlike Agria remaining.
"Argath.. you did well." I gave him a once over. Then I looked to Draco. "You have done better than I suspected but a decision lays before both of you. A dangerous one at that. You need to decide if you wish to throw your lot in with me .. or.. the Order itself." They but looked at each other then at me shocked.
"I dont know..." Draco said. Argath looked pensive. "I have a family to protect."
"I see. Well, that is something to consider. I can only provide a few people to help defend you then. Hah.. to bad." Calling for some of my stronger people to come over, I watched as his face changed. "You two are to head to set up near his family home. Take a few others and hire a few adventures at the guild."
"Tch, babysitting." One of them said. He was a member created from my Nether World. A warrior the same as the others. He was level 15 but strong and dangerous. "I rather not go there."

"Not your decision. You are needed there. Possible Assassins, as well as people from other orders, might come after his family. You have my permission to kill them. There are also quests in the area that need to be taken care of. With the damn skirmishes between the Order's as well as the Church doing nonsense, the area is running wild with a backlog of stuff that needs to be done. If you want that chance for a promotion..." I let my voice linger a bit for them to think on it. "..you will perform well at this task. Oh, do be careful. The monster's in that area tend to become stronger every time you head back." I smirked. The scaling of the monster of the strongest in the party would keep them occupied.
"Of course Overlord!" They saluted and left.
"Ah thank you," Draco said happily. "I will join up with you. What do you want me to do first?"
"Naw, head home with members from my squad. You are going to help secure the area and check up on some things. I handed him a scroll with things I wanted him to investigate. "Also, this is for you as well. A declaration declaring you a White Knight. A man of the people." He took it and the magic burst forth from him. The blasted Job System was an internal thing it seemed. They couldn't access the different things unless the world viewed them as having accomplished something. "Go at once. I dont want anyone trying to influence you."
He nodded and left. Argath gave me a look. "What about me?"
"You have a more difficult task ahead of you. Travel to Ziekden fortress. Take the remainder of the squad with you. Investigate what you can there." I handed him a scroll. I grabbed his hand and held it tightly. "Be careful you understand?"
"Right." Argath felt he should have gotten a promotion. I wanted him to wait a little more. I need to see if the world would try to sway him. He left frustrated. "What is it Agria?"
"Nothing really.. just wanted to check if you are ok?" I just gave her a look. "I see you are. Glad you are helping a little more now. I will see you later."
"Ugh.. whatever," I said to her departing figure. Tia just stared at me. "What is it?"
"Nothing.. you are just angry. It has been a while since I have seen you like that." Tia smiled at me before grabbing some more papers. A knock on the door interrupted us.
"Knock, knock," Tia said for them to come in. In walked Zalbag with some papers.
"Knight Commander, you are to head to the forefront. Apparently a few nobles have decided to rebel."
"Thats nice." I gestured for Tia to take the papers. "We will leave in a bit."
He looked surprised and turned around already. "I thought you put up a fight. Glad you have seen reason." Watching them leave I was surprised at his stupidity in walking in with only two knights. I could have killed them both easily. But it was whatever.
Passing the orders to Tia for she could get it taken care of, I contacted the others telepathically and relayed we would meet up in a days time.
That did not happen according to plan. A lot of the task the Order and the Church should have been doing went by with nothing getting done. I spent my time killing a lot of monsters and bandit deserters. Ziekden Fortress had become a playground for bandits. I had to bring in a 100 squires just to pacify the area. Next, we traveled Fovoham Windflats. That took a week just to navigate. It helped calm me down just a little. My forces grew strong at least. Shit hit the fan when we made it Riovanes castle. Ambushes from Northern, Southern, and the Church met us.
We killed them all of course but I burned through a lot of resources. Fovoham turned into a place for us to rest. Three days before everyone was recovered. I spent all my Jp on learning every White Mage spell I could. Shit, I became relatively decent at it. A few of my people took up becoming a White Mage permanently. 10 of them. With another 20 Black Mage doing both.
A lesson was learned about not having my own force under my control. This was a perfect time for me to build up. I did just that. It became easier considering the forces I killed I kept their souls. Then scrubbed clean. I created new bodies from my Nether World and patched them over. The Nether World souls devoured theirs easily. Problem was, it would cost me to much to take them all from here. They didnt want to leave anyway. Despite the Nether World souls tenacity, they enjoyed the memories to much of the place.
Meeting up at Riovanes castle we settled in and resupplied. My squads would go and take any quest they could and finish them up. I met up with Agria and Argath later that night.
"Everything is completed as needed. We ran into some trouble." Argath said to me tired. He looked worse for wear but he looked stronger. He handed me a banner. "This is what you wanted right?"
"Yes, it is." I took it from him and used observe on it. "Dammit.. not viable for the current people we have." Incasing it in magic, I placed it away in my inventory. "Argath rest well. Soon I will have some forces for you to lead. You have done well."
"Thank you, sir." Argath was to tired to be happy as he left.
"The others will be here soon," Agria said walking around the table. She came over to me but stopped. "Have you calmed down?" I nodded yes to her. "That is good." She turned to leave and I felt the biotic strand. She felt relief but also a sense of loss. Before I knew I biotic charged her. "What are you doing?!"
I had her against the wall. My hands-on the sides of her head. "What is going on!?" I felt something in me stirring. Something dark. "What are you to me?! Don't lie to me. You are something, I know you are. Nothing like the others." Her biotic strands started feeing into me. I felt dizzy as I remember a dance with her. "We danced .. togethor.. didnt we.. no thats not right.. We havent done that..."
"I cant tell you." Agria said looking away from me. She was lying to me. She knew I knew.
System: Willpower Check 35 Fail
I pushed myself back and grabbed the wall. I had to move away. "Go now!" I hated liars. I was going to grab her head and take the information by force if I had to. She didnt leave. "I want to be away from here!" Felt my body tear in on itself as I disappeared.

I felt myself restitched back in the woods somewhere. First my bones then my muscles and skin. I had used my pure psychic energy to getaway. No magic at all. Bad move on my part. The world had decided to hurt me because of it. I saw a ripple as Galtea appeared in front of me.
"I am so sorry about that." Galtea walking closer to me. I raised my hand up cut a magical line in front of her. "It is ok.. a side-effect of everything that is going on. The User you took out had a trap placed in him. When you were next to someone important to you it would activate. You were supposed to kill her but didnt."
"Grr.. why didnt we catch it?" My wolf growled at her. I growled at her. "Is she ok?"
"Of course. You didnt lay a hand on her. Even when you charged her, your power pushed against the wall. You physically didnt touch her." Galtea tried to calm me down but it was not working. I was still angry about Rose. Seeing Galtea already brought those feelings back up. "You are doing fine. It will be ok with a little time. As for Agira.. just leave her be for a while. She received some bad news about her cousin. That is some of what you felt earlier." She was not lying just now. But she was afraid to tell me something else. Get some anger out here in this place. I will go and talk with Riku some now. Nothing dangerous their. She was just wanting to talk about some things." Just like that Galtea was gone.
-An hour later-
Walking off I went hunting. Blowing off some steam helped my wolf greatly. It calmed down from the bloodlust it felt. It honestly was just frustrated it was pacified now. Scarily enough from me confronting Agrias. I was feeling ok with that as well. Only thing left was my psycho power chilling out some. The teleport made it happy. I need to tap more into my power more. For now, I would hunt and kill some wild monsters. I got some material from it all. Finishing up and cleaning what I could, I headed back to town.
Dropping off the material I couldn't use, I was happy with the report I received. The locals would be safe everybody now. On my way back I ran into a set of female twins. I stopped when I recognized who they were. Servants of that blasted vampire.
"Concussive Shot!" I said it loud enough to draw their attention to me.

"Boom!" The blast caught them both sending them into the air. They landed like ragdolls.
"What have you done?" A villager yelled at me.
I paid them no mind. I watched as the twin's limbs regrow or reattached. In a matter of seconds, they stood up still regenerating. The villagers ran away in terror.
"Why did you do that?" One of the sisters asked. "They just started to like us."
"Were you plan on killing them to?" I drew my sword and walked closer. Then I felt it. The biotic strands they had was fear. Of me, of not belonging, of having to go back to begging for food. I placed my sword away. "No freaking way... these girls are victims... got freaking dammit. How badly did you all get screwed over?" I released my Soul power on the two. They were being held hostage from within. The count had a way to force them out of their disguise.
"We were not gonna kill anyone unless we had to," Celia said.
I needed to confirm with them what was going on. "What does the Count have on you that you serve him?"
"He gives us food and a place to stay. All we have to do is kill who he wants." Celia said standing in front of Lettie.
"Who else will employ us monsters?" Lettie spoke up.
"Well damn. " I held out my arms and sent my energy towards them. Along with a few images of my crewmates. Last I showed them Mileena. "You can come with me if you want." I realized I screwed up big time. Like really badly just then. "I have been working through some things and kinda jumped the gone. On one hand, you havent done anything to me yet. On the other .. I know you will eventually if I dont intervene right now.

Celia and Lettie gave each other a look. I felt the magic channeled between the two. They were communicating. Then I felt the banner tug at me in my inventory.
"Promise you won't harm us again. Swear on you namesake!"
"Swear on all you hold dear!"
"I swear on myself and my title as an Overlord, I will not do what I just did to you to again unless you betray me."

With no one watching, I went up to the two. They looked like dancers but were skinny due to hunger. I felt bad again seeing them like this. In the game, they were assassins that did serious damage when you first met. Another time they were demons with serious magic power.
'Zelda, can you take them to you?' I had to ask. 'I know it is my body and all.. but I screwed up and I dont want this guilt. Well, I will get over it in a day or so but you get my meaning.' I was rambling. Definitely stressed out again.
'Of course. I saw what happened. It won't be a problem.' I felt Zelda was oddly happy at this. I felt my magic engulf the two who still looked at me a little dazed The System was still explaining things most likely.
"Woop," they both disappeared. I felt their presence with Zelda. She created a spring somewhere inside me. Glad it was all mental though. Wait it wasn't. It was a mental manifestation of my Rune Magic as well as my water powers from the Lin Kuei. I pulled back once I realized she was getting ready to bathe them.
"Ughh, I am such a shit heel." Kicking a rock I started walking around the town. I would send someone to fix the damage I caused in the morning. That is when the System decided to kick me in the ass. I made it just in time to my room at the inn with my people waiting. "A room.. isolated from everyone but our own." I passed out from the pain.
I woke up the next morning. A status screen in front of my face.
