Feeling uncomfortable wondering the halls of the academy alone, Leo made his way over the the nearby forest to take a nap in the grass under the warmth of the sun. However he was too uneasy to sleep. Feeling lonely, he decided to give his older brother Dante a call
Dante was having a pretty good week; after a lot of searching, he finally had a lead on the location of the Crimson String of Fate. He knew the location of the temple, and he even had the amulet that opened it. And if that weren't enough, he had also stumbled across the legendary sword Caladbolg. He was feeling so good, that he decided to celebrate. And so he found himself in a bar in Ireland. But not a normal bar. No, this one was located in a pocket dimension, one no human could enter. As such, the patrons of the bar didn't have to worry about keeping their true race a secrete. "Ah! Life is good" Dante said to himself in high spirits. He was in such a good mood, that he almost didn't notice the strange man approach him
"Pardon me" a man covered head to toe in a black cloak said "but you wouldn't happen to be Dante Manis...would you?"
He knew his name. In this business, that was a bad sign. If he had managed to locate him, then he no doubt was smart enough to have backup placed in strategic locations around the bar. It was clear what he wanted; if he was looking for him, then he was after the Crimson String of Fate and knew that Dante was as well. This guy clearly had this entire encounter planed out. One wrong move and who knows hoe many goons would be on him. This guy might even have a small army with him
...Sounds like fun
"Yep, that me" Dante confirmed. "Let me just speed things up here; you know I'm after the Crimson String of Fate, and you probably also know that I already have the Amulet of the Two Lovers needed to open the Temple True Heart. You want me to give you the amulet, but I won't, so you sick your goons on me and I kill them all. Do you mind if we just skip to the part where I kill all your men, that's my favorite part?" he asked with a sly smile
The cloaked man was both shocked and outraged "why you...get him!!!" at his command, two large ogres rushed at Dante from his sides. Quickly jumping backwards from his seat, Dante pulled out Caladbolg from underneath his trench coat and sliced off the ogre's heads with one clean cut. Next, a troll came up from behind him, but Dante quickly turned around jabbed both of his lungs and his heart with his new sword. Next he-
♪Why can't we be friends? Why can't we be friends♪
Dante quickly pulled out his cellphone and answered "hey little bro, how's your new school?"
"Hey Dante. Not too good so far. It's really lonely all by myself"
"Aw, I'm sorry to hear that little dude" he said as he cut an incoming dark elf through the waist
"Yeah, I......Dante, are you in another bar fight?"
"Eh, just a little one" Dante answered while sliding under a table to knee an Incubus in the groin
"What's it about this time?"
"We're just fighting over the key to an ancient temple that house a relic of unbelievable power" Dante replied as he tossed Caladbolg at a line of goons before jumping over their dead bodies to reclaim the sword
"Oh, ok. Anyway, I just needed to hear a familiar voice"
"It's no trouble little dude, I'm not doing anything important" he said while ripping a stone golem apart one handed
"Thanks Dante. Well, bye"
"See ya bro" and with that, Dante hung up. With his now undivided attention, he looked over the remains of the gruesome battle "geeze, the least they could have done was put up more of a fight"
Now off the phone and feeling a little more at easy, Leo decided to just lie back and look at the clouds. Some might argue that it might be easier to watch them outside the forest, but he didn't really care
