Reincarnated As A Fallen Angel 78 Rage And Tears

 "I am back! " Alice said, surprising Sora.

 "Yayyy! " Sora laughed as Alice spun her a few more times and set her down. 

 "So what did he want to talk about? " Hara asked curiously.

 "Nothing special, I guess he had heard about me being an envoy and wanted to speak with me a little. " Alice replied as they walked.

 "Well since we still have time to waste we had planned on going to upgrade our armor and weapons, would you like to come with us? " Joey asked, pointing out one of the shops.

 "Sure I haven't had the chance to go to one of those in a long time. " Alice replied as they entered the blacksmiths shop. 

 "Would you mind looking after Sora while we talk with the blacksmith here? " Alan asked, knowing Alice would probably agree giving him some free time to properly pick out some new items.

 "Sure I can teach her a bit on how to use her elements. " Alice replied, taking Sora's hand and leading her to a bench to sit on while they waited on them to finish their shopping. 

 "I wanna learn how to fly! " Sora said excitedly. 

 "Haha, slow down hun you still have a long way to go before you can do something like that. First you need to be able to control the air around you and bend it to your will. " Alice replied, enjoying the thought of teaching her little friend.

 "How can I do that? " Sora asked, tilting her head a little.

 "Close your eyes and do what I tell you to do okay? " Alice said, waiting for Sora to close her eyes and wait for instructions. "Now that your eyes are closed and feel the breeze pa.s.s by you, I want you to try thinking of making the breeze go faster okay. " 

 Keeping her eyes shut Sora did what Alice had told her and tried her hardest to force the air to go faster. 

 "Don't force it, relax and imagine someone is blowing the wind. " 

 Relaxing more Sora managed to make the wind go a little faster around her picking up pace the more she relaxed and got use to the feeling. 

 "Good girl, now try to make the wind swirl around in the palm of your hand concentrate on keeping the wind where I touch. " Alice said, picking Sora's hand up and lightly touching the palm of her hand.

 Seeing Sora relaxed and trying her hardest to be able to do it Alice sat back and gave her a little boost by getting Sora started. Making the wind swirl slowly in Sora's hand and slowly pulling away her influence on the element, Alice was happy to see that Sora was managing to keep the wind going on her own. 

 "Keep doing this until you can open your eyes and keep the wind going, get familiar with this feeling if you start feeling weak you have to stop. " Alice instructed, noticing Hara glancing over at them in between looking through various weapons. 

 After having purchased all their new equipment and repairing what they wanted, Alan, Hara, and Joey joined Alice and Sora. 

 "How long has she been asleep? " Hara asked, sitting next to Sora.

 "Not very long, she used up a lot of her mana practicing what I was showing her. " Alice replied with a smile moving some of Sora's hair out of her face while she rested.

 "THERE SHE IS!! " A man yelled out pointing at Sora through the crowd of people in the street.

 "What is going on? " Alan asked, not knowing who the man was pointing at.

 "Who knows, they are probably referring to me. " Alice replied standing up and waiting for them to come up and confront her.

 "MAKE WAY THE ROYAL GUARD IS COMING THROUGH! " He yelled out again as he and roughly twenty men followed behind him. 

 "What do you want? " Alicee asked, stepping forward.

 "This is none of your concern just get out of my way. " He said rudely as he pushed Alice to the side and stood in front of the sleeping Sora. 

 "Hold on now, what business do you have with my daughter? " Alan said, moving between him and his daughter placing a hand on the man's chest while Hara and Joey stood next to him to protect her. 

 "If you know what is good for you then you will remove your hand. " Another of the men stepped forward with a hand on his weapon. 

 "I am her father and any business with her is my business as well. Now tell me what is going on here. " Alan replied bluntly while taking his hand off the man and looking at the other. 

 "Can you all calm down? This is not the way to accomplish what we came to do peacefully. Take a step back bruce. " A tall man in a black robe said while stepping through the soldiers. 

 "I am sorry for Bruce's way of doing things, he is a military man born and raised. My name is Quin, I am a member of a faction flowing through all the kingdoms. Our influence here is vast and we seek out talented youth to train them to fight for their nation. When we heard of the young lady here named Sora I knew I must take action. A G.o.d never gives an element out like that and seeing that your daughter was the receiver of such a blessing it stands to reason her fate is grand. " Quinn said with a smile. 

 "My daughter is going nowhere. She is staying with her family. There is nothing more for you to say so kindly leave us alone. " Alan replied coldly, picking up on an uneasy atmosphere around the man. 

 "I do not wish to cause any issue with you as her father, however our goal is one that must be obtained. " Quin replied, tapping Bruce's shoulder and walking back through the men to the back.

 Getting the signal he hit Alan with the hilt of his sword so quickly that Joey and Hara almost couldn't see him move. Watching Alan fall to the ground unconscious Hara and Joey drew their weapons only to have to back down, feeling the soldiers' blades already at their throats. 

 "Grab the girl and let go, the family poses no threat to you. " Quinn said, watching and waiting on them to have hands on Sora before leaving. 

 "Touch her and your leader will no longer have a head. " Alice said hatefully trying her hardest to contain her rage as her scythe's blade rested firm against Quinn's neck causing a small stream of blood to trickle down his neck onto his robe. 

 "I am afraid you do not know what it is you are doing girl, if you want to continue to keep your life remove your weapon from my neck. The soldiers will not stop even if I die. " Quinn replied nodding for Bruce to grab the girl anyways. 

 Remembering what Lord Kira had given her she pulled out his token and threw it on the ground in front of Quinn for him to see. "It looks like you do not know who I am either. Tell your men to back away. "

 "So you have some rank in the Demon's army. That means nothing to me. " Quinn replied with a smile as he gave another nod to Bruce. 

 "NOOO LET ME GO!!!! DADDY!!! HARA HELP!!!! ALICEEEE!!!!!! " Sora cried out as Bruce grabbed her arms and pulled her to her feet, waking her up. 

 Hearing Sora cry she was no longer able to hold herself back, Alice yanked her blade back severing Quinns head while releasing her mana's pressure and taking her wings out without realizing it. 

 "Last chance unhand her. " Alice said in a low voice, getting ready to attack and kill each and every one of the men in a soldier's uniform around her. 

Quest - Save the girl

Time limit - 115:59:59

Reward - t.i.tle

Failure - Sora's Death  

 Looking at the quest Alice's heart felt like it stopped seeing the meaning of her Failure in the quest. 

 Not giving it another thought Alice rushed forward slicing the first man in half at the waist, moving onto the second man Alice infused her scythe with the Fire Element making it look like she was throwing fire at her enemies with every swing of her weapon which draw a large crowd of people around to watch the chaos. 

 Having killed half of the soldiers in their group Alice was able to see that Bruce and Sora were nowhere to be seen. 

 "SORRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! " Alice screamed out unconsciously, boosting the volume of her voice so loud that the entire Kingdom was able to hear her cries.

 "Quickly escape! " The remaining men yelled out, scattering through the crowd of people in attempts to get away from their killer. 

 Running over to Alan who was still unconscious on the ground where Hara and Joey sat with their heads down worried and scared for Sora.

 "You have to get my sister back please I will do anything! " Hara begged with tears in her eyes grabbing onto Alice as she crouched next to them. 

 "Tell Alan I am sorry I couldn't save her. I won't come back without Sora. " Alice replied, eyes burning with rage and tears.
