Arcanum

"Yah... but it was so worth it." Helen smiled in glee.

"...why do you and Grace looked so refreshed???..." I asked curiously also feeling the lack of sleep also killing me.

"Us?.... we don"t need as much sleep as everyone else..... Elves only need a couple of hours and we feel completely refreshed." Helen smiled.

".....no way....." I replied in disbelief feeling extremity envious, that would have been so useful for my insomnia.

"Good morning everyone!!!!" Scarlet greeted everyone with a giant gleeful smile.

"Morning..." we all replied reaching into our pockets.

"By the way thank you for storing the Xoria battles." Helen thanked her.

"Ohhh!!! Yeah!!! We have a lot of stored memories in there for recreational purposes." Scarlet smiled. "Did you guys enjoy yourself??..." She asked politely.

"Yes we did..... We might have stayed up a little too late...." Daisy smiled.

"Ohhh no....I"ll lighten up on today"s lesson for today." Scarlet smiled.

"Just out of curiosity what else is stored??..." I asked.

"Hmmmm plays and musicals..... Ohhh maybe Ashley has some stored memories of Artificing events but those are super boring." Scarlet answered.

"Any interesting fights??..." Grace asked intrigued.

"Hmmmmm those aren"t for public use..... But we do have some stored... for personal use." Scarlet replied.

"Can we perhaps see one??..." Daisy asked looking a little hopeful.

"Hmmmm who would you like to see???.. Me, Paul or Ashley??." She asked with a giant smile.

"d.a.m.n..... I"m so curious to see how you all fight...." Jay commented.

"Yeah.... it"s too hard to choose." Helen added.

"Hmmmm to be fair.... mine are quite quick and less flashy..." Scarlet smiled, "Paul"s tend to last longer because he always wants to learn the capabilities of his enemies and breaks them down." Scarlet carried on explaining. "Ashley on the other hand I would say is most exciting..... He uses all sorts of things to bring down his opponents but his fights also tend to be shorter." Scarlet explained.

"How about Anna??.." I asked curiously.

"Anna??... hmmm I"d have to ask her for permission first.... she"s very secretive with what she does." Scarlet answered.

"Can we watch all three??..." I asked pushing my luck, but also dredging a training session with my lack of sleep.

"Hmmmm....." Scarlet pondered looking at me. "Don"t tell Paul I"m giving you guys an easy day." She winked.

"Yes!!!" we all smiled extremely excited.

"...Hmm which one of my fights should I show you??..." Scarlet pondered. "Ohhh let"s watch an awesome battle when we thwarted an a.s.sa.s.sination attempt on an escort mission we had." Scarlet smiled. "Computer please load a.s.sa.s.sination attempt on Princess Thalia." Scarlet smiled.

The whole training room began transforming into flat gra.s.sland. Now in front of us a very fancy looking caravan pulled by four horses. It was extremely heavily guarded at least fifteen heavily armoured soldiers wearing extremely heavy metallic plated armour wearing a purple tabard with some sort of crest sewed onto them, each wielding a solid looking spear on their backs behind a shield and a sword attached to their side. In the driver seat another solider wielding no weapons and less armoured controlling the reins, on the other side an old solider with similar Armour but looks more decorative with just a sword on his side and between them a young looking teenage girl with blond hair. Paul and Ashley walking alongside the carriage with Scarlet walking behind.

"Everything looks so peaceful and nothing in sight." Daisy hesitantly commented.

"Yeah.... it also surprised us the level of planning used in this a.s.sa.s.sination attempt." Scarlet answered.

"Can"t Paul just portal or teleport the princess and soldiers to where they need to go?.." Jay asked curiously.

"Hmmm..... teleporting.... both method of travel are all similar..... How did Paul explain it to me…...." She pondered. "Ohh yea!!! So basically to travel such a vast distance the gap is covered by pa.s.sing through another plane, although it"s almost instant…. over vast distances problems could occur." Scarlet answered. "Also Paul"s method of portaling is vastly different, along small distances is it also no problem, but one time when we traveled an extremely long distance something very horrible happened to someone accompanying us. From there on we never take anyone else other than ourselves over vast distance." Scarlet answered.

"Ohhh..... Okay..." Jay nodded.

"Computer please follow me." Scarlet asked.

"Affirmative." The Computer answered.

In a matter of moments circular pockets of shadows appeared getting larger and larger littered the floor around the caravan. "INCOMING!!!" the elderly solider yelled causing the caravan to stop and all the guards began drawing their weapons a.s.suming formation, as small black projectiles shot out from the outside of the caravan intercepting the huge boulders and shattering them showering everyone with small rocks and pebbles.

"Wow.... nice work Ashley." Paul yelled.

Scarlet quickly ran to Paul, "They"ve gotta be Giant folk!" Scarlet informed Paul.

Paul nodded, "Make it quick." Paul ordered putting a hand on Scarlet causing all of us to instantly change location but we were all still in an empty field.

"Computer please switch on true seeing." Scarlet asked, suddenly around scarlet were six crazy huge Giants as tall as houses towering above her ready to ambush her.

"Ohhhh my G.o.d...." I gasped at the sight Scarlet outnumbered six to one, all but two wielding large humongous clubs. The other two beside large pile of boulders.

"Interesting..... How did you manage to gain invisibility?...." Scarlet said to herself and she made an extremely fast dash straight to a boulder wielding Giant readying to throw another boulder, dodging a large club swing and running between the legs of another Giant. In one huge bound and a swift slice of her huge sword she somehow manage to decapitate a Giant with ease in one swing. Letting go of her sword it flew into the other Giant readying a boulder easily slicing through its hand like a hot knife through b.u.t.ter causing the boulder to drop causing a small tremor. Landing with the decapitated body and a show of her unG.o.dly strength she somehow chucked the body of the Giant like it was a sand bag toppling the remaining boulder tossing Giant.

"What on earth is that strength she has?...that"s impossible...." Jay uttered in complete shock.

"Wow....." Daisy said completely hypnotized.

With a big swing one of the Giant swung its club at Scarlet like trying to swat a fly. Holding out an outstretched arm to the side she caught the club stopping it the moment the club met her open palm. Her hair and gra.s.s blowing to the side from the force of the swing. ".... that unbelievable..." Grace uttered shocked at the spectacle of Scarlet effortlessly stopping the club.

In another outstanding show of strength she effortlessly disarmed the club from the Giant ripping the club that was at least twice the height of her away from the giant tossing it away behind her. Simultaneously grabbing one of the boulders with her other hand and effortlessly chucking it at the Giant colliding with its head knocking it unconscious instantly.

Another Giant swung its club at Scarlet this time downwards, she stepped to the side avoiding the hit completely and holding up her hand up, her sword magically flying back into her grasp and with one big swing separated the hand at the wrist, proceeding a merciless diagonal swing sundered the giant in half in a single cut.

"....... She"s so scary.... now I understand why she"s so feared..... Maybe that"s why our bodies always react so fearfully in her presence" Helen said in shock.

Scarlet quickly dispatched the remaining Giants with ease in similar fashion cutting through their body and leathery armour like tracing paper. "So.... that was my part of the fight." Scarlet smiled. We all stood silent for a few seconds unable to even comprehend what we even saw.

"I have so many questions..." Jay asked.

"Yeah... I"ve never witness a singular being able to cleave through Giants with such ease..." Grace agreed.

"Hah..... It"s all about training!!" Scarlet chuckled.

"Something tell me even training a life time I will never reach that level of strength and agility... it"s beyond anything I"ve seen or heard of." Grace replied.

"Ohhh.... it"s nothing....." Scarlet chuckled, "So who wants to see Paul next?..." Scarlet asked.

"... How ridiculous is he?..." Jay said still in disbelief of how strong Scarlet was.
