The Black Tiger 13 Who

Amy stunned. One thing she hated when she visited Claudia was the old mansion made out of marble and gold. It was not because of its appearance, but rather its deserted location. Claudia's voice was just blabbering about everything which had been problematic lately, which didn't really appeal to Amy.

Claudia's room was huge and was colored in a light minty breeze. The interior where white with silver handles. The bed was huge and filled with cloud like pillows covered with pastel green blankets imprinted with silver treads. Newly baked cookies stood on the small table towards an elegant balcony spreading a fresh smell of chocolate throughout the room.

"Well, do you want to bath in the pool behind our mansion?" Claudia suddenly asked as she drank a cup of vanilla tea.

"No, I'm not interested. Can't we look through your property. I have known you for a couple of years now and I have never seen anything except the dining hall, garden and your room."

Amy asked calmly while staring at Claudia.

"Mm... Ok, What about looking inside the forest above the big hills?" Claudia smiled while finis.h.i.+ng a cookie.

Amy's fingers tapped in a repeating pattern on the gla.s.s table. Those forests was boring and didn't contain anything special, however there were speculations about the black tiger residing into the more deeper parts of the prison like nature growing there. Amy nodded at the same time as she glanced out the balcony filled with old pillars.

"Well, we should change to more practical attires." Claudia giggled as she looked at their traditional dresses which gleamed with elegance. She stood up and found more fitting clothes for searching the overgrown forest. Those were flexible pants for increased movement and flexibility. They were black and complimented the thick grey sweaters with hoods filled in by fluffy black fur.

"Well let's search the forest for something interesting" Amy said after changing into her borrowed clothing.

Gabriel stood at a small clearing deep inside the forest. Darkness consumed every corner of his sight. It wasn't any noises which stood out in the nature around him. The only sounds he could hear came from small birds singing peacefully. He was changing from his bloodied old clothes to a marine blue T-s.h.i.+rt and jeans. Once again several questions appeared in his mind, all of them related to the system which apparently only existed for him.

His expression showed no emotions, just a faint grin nearly impossible to see. It was time to move closer to locations where dungeons appeared more often. He could always earn rewards through completing the daily quests, but it would be harder to increase his levels rapidly. Therefore the smartest choice was to combine both clearing dungeons and daily quests.

He hadn't finished his daily quests lately such as push ups, mostly due to him being busy with observing others. Some bushes started making faint rattling echoes which made Gabriel turn around. He could feel someone's presence not far from where he was standing. He grabbed all his tings and quickly hid in one of the trees.

"It seems like we will receive some visitors " Tigris said before a chilly aura arrived with their unwelcome guests. Gabriel couldn't believe whom was entering the small clearing. His sister Claudia with her fire like hair accompanied with another female which had a more bloodied colored hair. The girl which seemed to be Claudia's friend was a bit taller and more mature looking, even if she had a pretty small frame.

It seemed like they were searching for something. Gabriel was so surprised that he accidentally rustlers in some olive green leafs with his right shoulder. He held his breath in fear for his cold hearted sister who only cared about her own well being.

A sound emerged from one of the dozens of old oaks which surrounded them. Amy quickly observed where the noise came from. She could faintly sense an aura from that direction. She grabbed one of the swords near many skeletal remains spread at the heavily vegetated ground.

Amy sliced the tree which made it collapse and a shadow to jump to the ground.

It was a man around 190 centimeters tall and a muscular body structure. He had jet black hair which reached his shoulders, it was a bit wavy which complimented his facial structure. He had a scar crossing his mouth and a strong lined jaw.

Claudia stood there gasping as she almost dropped her jaw. She clearly categorized him as hot. Amy didn't put down her defense, she had learned through experience that she shouldn't let her guard down in these kinds of situations. The man lifted his head and a powerful sense of danger emitted from those deep blue eyes.

"Stand still and don't move or I will kill you at once" Amy formulated calmly as she carefully made her way towards the man. Claudia wasn't to any help at all as she stood behind Amy like a statue.

-Ugh! It seems like I must take everything into my own hands ... sight ... as usual-

The man didn't say anything and took everything calmly. Amy was impressed with his responses to this situation. He must ether be strong or the most stupid person on earth. Amy pointed her sword at him and was waiting for the man to speak.

"It seems like you have misunderstood me. I'm not posing as a treat to you because of my lack in skills." A deep voice formulated calmly. The man's voice was ruff, something which often made good impressions on women.

"I must say that I'm impressed by your humbleness" Amy said sarcastically. She suddenly felt a small hand on her left shoulder, it was Claudia.

"I'm sorry for my friend's rude att.i.tude. Please let us make it up to you by inviting you to dinner."

The man looked down at Claudia with a hint of disgust. Amy thought that was a bit weird because they didn't seem to know each other, maybe he just had a bad personality. The man pulled a bit away while he let out a graceful smile.

-What a weird person-

~

Gabriel didn't recognize his older sister's att.i.tude, until he understood that she didn't seem to recognize him. He knew he had changed a lot, but he still resembled his older self. He didn't know she could be so considerate.

After stepping a couple of steps back from the women while he made a fake smile. The woman he didn't know stood at the same place with eyes filled with suspicion.

A sudden dangerous presence showed up near Claudia gripping her shoulder firmly...
