《Deck of Cards》New Mission
Advertisement
6th day of 12th month year 10352.
In the castles throne room, the heroes were standing in front of the king, because he had called them here, to tell them about their new mission. And this time, it looked to be more serious, than the previous one. This could be seen from the kings face.
The king looks at the group and then starts to speak"Thank you for coming on such a short notice. Few hours ago, I learned that one of our Allied kingdoms is under attack by the demons. So I need you, heroes, to go to Ylsfu kingdom and deal with the demons there. You Will be accompanied by battalion of our best men. You will leave in three days. Thank you heroes."
Immediately, there begins talking between the heroes and this is Echos que, to leave this place. So he takes out his card and as he is about to teleport away, Evelyn calls out his name.
She walks up to him and says"I want to talk to you about something. Privately. Is it possible?"
He thinks for a few seconds, before replying"Yeah sure. I have time."
"Good."she answers him, with a delighted tone"Then follow me."
"Lead the way."he says and the two exit the throne room together.
They get to Evelyns room in a few minutes and once they are there, she says"So Echo. Where have you been staying? I only see you during meetings with the king, to which you just show up."
"I'm staying at my girlfriends place."Echo answers to her.
"The elf? I thought she doesn't have a home here."she says in a curious voice.
"No. It isn't Skyezas house."
"So you two broke up?"
"Nope. It's my second ones home. A catkin named Nina."Echo replies to him.
"Two girlfriends? Do they know about each other?"
"Obviously. We have 3p pretty often."Echo replies to her.
"Scum."Evelyn tells him, what she thinks about him.
"Polygamy is legal and as someone, who whas grown up in countries, where it was pretty normal, it has gotten stuck to me."he answers her"To put it simply, I like to have a harem and I'm one short, before it could be considered one."

"But this isn't the reason, you wanted to talk?"Echo asks her and she nods, before speaking."Echo...you see.....it seems that......
Some time later, Echo is in a bar and drinking, while looking around the place. The thing that Evelyn had told him, caught him by surprise and because he didn't know what to do, hr decided to clear his head his own way: by drinking.
'Fucking hell. What an I supposed to do now?'he thought, as he was drinking from the mug.
While finishing the mug, a man suddenly sat down at his table, so he put the mug down and looked at him. Immediately Echos eyes grew big, but he kept his cool.
"Why are you here, Xeeht?"he asks the demon, who replies"I wanted to talk. Also If you are wondering, why everyone seems so calm, it's because everyone except for you, are seeing my disguise. Only you see my true appearance."
"Thanks for the explanation of you magic."Echo says sarcastically"Now tell me what you want and leave."
"What? You ain't gonna try to kill me?"Xeeht asks Echo, who replies"I'm not sober enough for that and I don't have all my weapons with me. You also probably have something planned, If I do attack you... So no. I won't attack you. So lets talk."
"Okay."Xeeht replies"Tell me. How did you get the [Killer] title and a name The White Demon? It has interest me for months now. A human called a demon probably is a interesting one."
"And why should I tell you about it at all. What do I have gain from this?"Echo asks Xeeht in a serious tone.
"I know how to get to Acedia."he answers him"You do want to go to her?"
Echo face changes serious and Xeeht seeing his face, says"Aah I see. I was right then. Now then. Tell me what I want to know and I will tell you what I want to know."
Both stare at each other, before Echo says"Fine."
"Good. Now tell me how you killed over 100 innocent people."Xeeht tells Echo, who just sighs.
"Seven years ago, I was given a mission to find and kill a terrorist leader. He had been located in a small town with a population of seven hundred and twenty six. My job was supposed to be easy, but it wasn't. He was impossible to find in the town and one would probably think, that he wasn't there, but I thought that it's a fact that he was in that town. Because If he wasn't there, I would have been notified. So when I reported that I hadn't found him, I was told to destroy the town. So during a night, I placed explosives all over the town and at the dawn of the morning, I blew up the city, while watching it few hundred meters away. And the most fucked up thing, beside blowing up so many innocents, I later found out, that the guy doesn't Even exist. My mission was never to really find him, but to blow up the town. The reason for it, was because it was standing over some kind of diamond source. Even years later, I some times think about that incident."

"Oooh. Thats pretty fucking bad."Xeeht comments"Do you feel guilty?"
"No."he answers with a serious voice"I can't feel guilt."
"Thats nice."He says in a low voice.
"So how did you get your other name?"Xeeht asks him.
"No no. You tell me where to find Acedia first. Then I tell you the other part. I don't want you to disappear, without me getting answers."Echo tells Xeeht, who crosses his arms and makes a slightly amazed expression.
"Okay. I will tell you."he tells him"You can't get to Acedia by just walking, as she lives in Death Land. You need to teleport there, but only Luxuria and Ira know how."
"Now tell me about the White Demon."
"Nothing much to tell. My hair colour caught a lot of attention along with my killing and over time, people started to call me The White Demon. There were stories of how the White Demon will appear in a town and then series of events will happen, wich will lead to a lot of people dying. So many stories. So much bullshit."Echo tells Xeeht, who is listening to him with a curious look.
"Hmm I see. It's just human fear and nothing else. Oh well. A deal is a deal. I will tell what you want to know?"he tells Echo"You can't find Ira. Ira finds you. So you can give up trying to get to Acedia with her. With Luxuria, she may help you, If you impress her. So impress her."
"And how would I impress her?"Echo asks Xeeht, who replies"I have an idea. Want to hear it?"
"Sure."Echo replies.
"Well....
An hour later, Echo is walking home and thinking about all of the shit that he heard today. First it was Evelyn and then it was Xeeht.
'Huh. I guess I have to do what I have to do.'
And before he notices, he has reached to Ninas shop, so she enters the place and closes the door behind him. He goes into the kitchen, where he seen Skyeza preparing food.
So he quietly walks up behind her and hugs her from his position.
"Echo. You're finally back."Skyeza says, while not stopping cooking.
"Yeah. I had a few things to do."Echo answers her.
He rubs her stomach and says"Sky...I love you."
"I love you too Echo, but why did you suddenly sat that."
"So you would know it."he answers her and kisses her cheek. And before he walks away, he gently slaps her ass, which makes her let out a small sound.
Echo himself walks up the stairs and goes to the bedroom, where he sees Nina changing her clothes. But she stops, when she hears him walking into the room. She turns around to look at him and then she says"Echo. You're finally back. Change your clothes and come down then."
"Okay."he replies and starts to change his clothes, after she leaves the room. He puts his armor next to his other weapons and once armor is put in place, he stops to stare at Xeehts dagger.
He lets out a heavy sigh while watching it and then he goes back to changing clothes.
Once he is done, he goes downstairs, to eat.
In Noxs room, she is sitting on her bed, while watching the floating screen before her.
"Well this is going to be interesting."she says and then stares to nothingness"But what do you think?"
