Reincarnation of a living god

flesh was torn, body parts flew and bandit's screamed as they tried to flee in terror, the key part being that they tried. less than 10 seconds after Mars had snapped the neck of the mage that was named Morgan Fedeson the quiet returned to the forest clearing as mars held the last 2 remaining bandits by their necks with a wide smile on his face

"not bad old man"

Adam gave a light sigh before he also gave a smile

"your not bad yourself Mars, but never mind that what is the last 2 for?"

"well let's see..."

Mars let go of one of the bandits that fell to the forest floor and started to beg Mars while he was on his knees

"please spare my life!"

"only if you tell me why you shot us down"

"ye-yes it was all Morgan's orders, I tried to stop him!"

"I see... well then run along"

"thank you, young lord!"

the bandit ran and soon disappeared into the forest, meanwhile Mars looked at the other bandit that he also let go and asked

"who's Morgan?"

"he's the cousin of the lord of Mirefield---"

*SNAP*

as soon as Mars heard the name of the town he kicked out and snapped the neck of the bandit

"....fuck, knew I should have killed that pig... Victoria do you mind taking down the one that ran?"

as Mars called out to her Victoria appeared form in between the brushes and leisurely walked into the clearing

"already... did"

"didn't you say you would let him go?"

"yeah but I never said anything about Victoria letting him go"

"I see, nice work"

Adam gave Mars an approving look, but Mars looked rather troubled as he sat down on the ground and began thinking

'what to do next... it's probably best to return to Mirefield, if not to cook some pork then at least acquire some transport...'

"what do you think we should do Adam?"

"hmm... yeah that's a tough question... well knowing my daughter she will follow whatever you do without question"

"that's true..."

"yeah so just treat me as a follow along to Chloe, I will follow your lead"

"...fine"

Mars stood up again and began walking back to the crash site...

meanwhile in the capital of Destra Dan the prime minister was busy working at his desk, he was currently going over a report on how the 8 heads where trying to sway lover level nobels with a frown on his face

'this is getting out of hand...'

Dan put down the report and massaged his temples when there was a knock on the door

"....come in"

a young mage opened the door, his face was pale and Dan could see he was sweating a lot

"sir prime minister... the number 28 sky carriage signal was lost about half an hour ago"

Dan paused and took a deep breath before he asked with a grave look on his face

"what's the changes the mana battery on the transmitter is dead?"

"that's... zero, I changed it myself before it left some days ago"

"I see... where was it lost?"

"north of Mirefield sir"

Dan closed his eyes and massaged his temples for some time before he opened his eyes again and looked at the nervous mage

"send another sky carriage to Mirefield to find out exactly what happened to sky carriage number 28 and it's cargo"

"yes sir... but not to the crash site?"

"no we could lose another sky carriage that way... also have send a squad of dark knights with the sky carriage and have them investigate the lord of Mirefield"

the young mage gulped form what he knew about the dark knights where akin to horror stories, he had heard a story about how a dark knight beheaded the lord a small town because he disallowed beastmen to work in his estate

"i-is it really necessary to send the dark knights?"

Dan gave the young mage a hard look

"...a friend of mine was on that sky carriage, I want to know if foul play was involved"

"y-yes I'll give the orders now, excuse me sir"

after the young mage closed the door Dan gave a sigh and reached into his drawer and pulled out a pack of cigarettes after lighting one up he took a long puff and leaned back in his chair

"...please be okay Moira"

back at the crash site was the group gathered around a campfire, they had spent most of the day salvaging the cargo of the sky carriage although most of it was broken they had manged to find some food and water skins that had survived the crash, also Mars's backpack was surprisingly fine with only some minor cuts in the leather

'....well I made it of magic beast hide after all'

Mars looked over at his bag with pride in his eyes before he shook his head

'now's not the time to be proud...'

Mars looked around at the group, they looked tired but other then that they were fine since Mars had healed all of them once to help with the bruises they sustained form the crash, Mars had also 'salvaged' the mana stones from the sky carriage to refund some of the used energy units

'well it felt like I ended up profiting energy units, but whatever...'

"...what are we going to tomorrow?"

"if nobody has a problem with it then let's head back to Mirefield"

Karen furrowed her brows before she asked Mars

"why would we head back there?"

Mars stood up and looked around at all the members of the group

"for revenge"

"revenge..? Wait you don't mean that pig had anything to do with our crash?"

"that's exactly what I meant, the name of the mage that helped shoot us down was Morgan Fedeson"

"Fedeson... Like the lord of Mirefield?"

"yeah, I don't know if he was a brother or a cousin I just snapped his neck"

"I see...that's rather violent"

"...yeah, well I was in a bad mood"

"but never mind, do you really want to head back to Mirefield?"

"I think it's the best option, of cause now that we are presumed dead we can do whatever... Let's see, does anyone have any other ideas?"

Mars looked around at the group and realized he had obtained minority support with Lee, Lily and Chloe following him blindly, Adam was neutral and Karen was the only one in doubt about it

"well it's been a long day... let's talk about it tomorrow, Lee Lily you guys can borrow my sleeping bag"

""okay Mars""

Mars got up and walked over to a nearby tree and sat down with his back leaning against it, Victoria quickly joined him and lay down on his lap before she curled up and nested against Mars

'hopefully she will come along in the morning...'

Mars regulated his breathing and closed his eyes as he started to meditate and soon he entered a state of nothingness...

the next morning Mars slowly opened his eyes and looked around the camp, the first thing he spotted were the 2 elvers they sat back to back and also looked like they had spent the night meditating next were Karen that lay next to the burned out campfire covered with a beast skin blanket form the steady rising and falling of her chest Mars could tell she was sleeping, the twins lay a little away from the campfire in Mars's sleeping bag tangled together, Mars once again found them rather cute

'well all children are somewhat cute when they are quiet....'

Mars took a deep breath and began stretching while he thought about what to do for the day

'well first we need water, so finding a river is top of the list, then comes food but that should not be a problem as long as nobody dislikes magic beast meat... is that all..? I think so...'

"Victoria its morning let's go hunt"

"yay... I like... hunting"

'but first let's see... status'

Mars queitely chanted as he breathed out and soon some half transparent mist formed his status
