《Raising Phoenix From Today》Chapter 8: Mother
Advertisement
The next day she walked out and took a seat at the restaurant to order food. She saw from the corner of her eye a person who was covered in cloak and hood which was similar to her walking out from the restaurant. What caught her eye was the necklace the figure was wearing. The item was very familiar to her.
She got up and tried to follow, however she saw another figure getting up from far end of the room and walk out following the figure. As the cloaked figure took 20 steps from the restaurant the figure was surrounded. They were in battle clothes.
However the person did not panic. One of the surrounding people walked forward "I am warning you, obediently follow us back to the mansion or your fate will be worse along with your family. No one can defy Lord Black Noir in this empire. Even the king has to listen to him" The man ordered.
The person did not move nor reply.
"You are very stubborn and foolish" the man shouted and took a step forward to attack but as he took the step he flew back with force without knowing how and fell a long distance away.
"You... you are not a level 3 or 4 mage you are of higher ranking" another said with a shock. "No one mentioned this in the details" he panicked.
"Everyone attack simultaneously and try to stall I will contact Sir Berman and inform this" said another warrior.
However a water bullet pierced both their heads and they fell down without a scream "Thudd..."
Then chaos ensued, one of the opponents magic was about to hit the person but the figure slightly moved the head missing the attack and the hood came off.
Sachi who was shocked to see a high level mage from the family was thunderstruck as the hood fell. It was a woman and biggest shock was the person standing right infront of her and fighting the group was none other than her mother.

Her mother who was very silent, obedient and whom she thought was a normal housewife was actually a high level mage and it is above level 5 at that.
She quickly came out her stupor as she saw one of them trying to tackle with a weapon from the back. She quickly ran forward and jumped on to the attacker with an ice lance killing him.
This was Sachi's first human kill. Her hands trembled a little but she did not panic or go into shock, if she was the previous Sachi, it may be difficult however the Sachi who was reborn is different and she did not stop. Because she knew if not her enemy then she will be the one falling.
The lady was surprised to see someone help her even after knowing the situation. The helper was covered in a cream colour cloak with a hood similar to her style.
She fought her opponents as she looked at her helper trying to figure out the intention.
Sachi walked to her mother's side, "we need to quickly move out, and cannot stay here. The sentries and the mayor may come at any time"
Sachi's mother was shocked to hear the voice. This voice is very familiar to her; this was the voice she longed to hear very much these past few days. Her days were torturous after hearing her daughters missing news.
However she understood the situation and controlled her emotions like a professional. Sachi's mother was very adept at fighting; she fought with her opponents without a sweat and killed them. After killing their pursuers both ran to the horse stable without a word and quickly raced them towards the exit.
The sentry on the top was the person she saw the previous night. "Oh it's you, what happened you are not returning?" Jack asked.

"My master sent a message through this person for another important mission so I may not be able to return home anytime soon" she replied as she threw another pouch at him.
Jack caught it with a smile, thanking their generosity "Ah! The Vera family is really known for it's generosity. Hope you can comeback soon" he said opening the gate.
The other one walked forward "I apologize for my mistake yesterday I thought you were a man" he apologized.
"It's not a big deal" replied Sachi.
"What is the commotion previously?" he asked again.
"I think it's the Polam family and some rogue mages fighting" replied Sachi.
"That family, I think it's going to go down after the recent incident" commented Jack.
"Maybe you are right" Replied Sachi as both she and her mother left.
Then they raced the horses with high speed towards the deep forest instead of the road to the next town.
After a long time they stopped at a mountain which is very far from the town and dismounted.
As soon as they got down both mother and daughter hugged tightly and cried.
"Oh my precious, my little sweetheart" her mother cried as she tried to calm Sachi down. "How I longed to hear this voice. Thank you magic god or the great power above, whoever you are I thank you for bringing my daughter back alive and safe to me."
"Mom... Mother" Sachi hiccupped.
After a long time both calmed down and sat down on a rock.
"Mother what happened?" Sachi asked.
Her mother sighed looking into the sky "After you left the family was very happy at the opportunity, except me. However, it did not last long as we received news of the attack. Someone claiming to be disciple of Black Noir came to the mansion and informed that you were missing or probably taken by the attackers and all others were dead.
Then he accused us of colluding with Shadow organization and that his master received an SOS about it from a loyal servant who sacrificed himself."
Sachi thought about Martin for a brief moment, the man who gave final order in dying breath to cover her safety. "And then?"
"Then he captured your father and few elders and took them to the capital as prisoners, while the rest of the family were put under house arrest. I was not able to take this anymore and escaped to look for you. My heart said you were alive so I did not want to give up."
"How many days has it been?" Sachi questioned slowly digesting the information.
"We received about your news of missing 10 days ago. You father and the elders were taken away after two days. From then I started planning. It's been three days since my escape" Sachi's mother replied.
"Enough about me and the family, now tell me about you and how you have escaped from the attackers" she asked eagerly.
