Volume 3 Chapter 11: Bandits

"Keith, I spy with my little eye something white!" Fira's body swayed back and forth,

"Hmm? Is it Aria?" Keith answered.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!" Fira nodded, "You're turn!"

"I spy with my little eye something red," Keith stated. As they continued to travel to the royal capital, Keith and Fira decided to play a game to pass the time. They were ahead of schedule.

It was only a few hours before they arrived at the royal capital.

It was a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Keith had taken off all the warm equipment and stored it.

Mir continued to rest on top of his shoulder with a happy expression. The group ate some fruit to pass the time. As they traveled,

"Kwak!" Aria flew back down,

"What's the matter, Aria?" Keith looked up at Aria. She continued to screech.

"There are people around here?" Keith questioned.

"Ho,"

"They're being attacked too? Let's go help them out!" Keith didn't hesitate as he told Barton, "Barton! I need you to go faster!"

Without a thought, Barton started to ride even faster than before!

It didn't take long before the group arrived at the scene. What Keith saw was a carriage being attacked by a group of bandits.

...

"Barton, I'm going to jump!" Keith quickly got into position. Barton didn't hesitate and launched Keith towards the front! Keith went flying through the air. But his target was the front.

As he dropped, he kicked two bandits!

"I got your back," Keith stated to the person. And when he heard that, the guy smiled,

"Thank you," Without a thought, the two started their attack.

"We got a strong backup!" The guards brightened up when they saw Keith's actions. This man came to help. And this person was strong!

Two weren't enough as Keith continued to take them down!

"Thank goodness." One of the people screamed out as they sighed in relief.

"Get them!" The bandits screamed. Seeing how they were going to lose, the bandits' leader shouted. Their target was the carriage. Before they could attack it,

Woosh! A wall of earth came from the ground, covering the entire carriage. Keith scoffed, "You're not getting near this carriage.

"We can go all out! There's no need to worry about the carriage." The protection of the carriage was important to the guards.

That would always be on their minds.

The guards brightened when they heard that.

"Attack this brat!" The bandits shifted their target to Keith. He was the one who caused all of this! But they forgot about someone. Rather, something.

"Ho!" Aria came down, defeating two bandits!

"Thanks, Aria!" Keith smiled as he went back to defeat the bandits. It took a few minutes, but it was completed.

"We did it!" The guards shouted as they looked at the defeated bandits. But they knew the two people in the front were the reason they won.

Keith placed the earth wall down and shouted, "Tend to the wounded."
