Travels of the Daughter of God

Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Burned Ones



[3rd POV]

It was later in the day, after class, when Lucifer decided to go for a walk into the nearby forests, while Alice was back at their room doing her homework for the day, and Rose was watching some cartoons, Transformers Prime being the choice cartoon. It was one that Lucifer had been interested in visiting, even if for a short while. Why? Because Cybertronians are...really damn strong, especially the classic ones, and the ones from the comics.

Walking through the forest on the outside of Alfea, Lucifer let out a small sigh as she smiled, feeling her connection to the forests around her, magic brimming throughout the air around her. The various animal species that lived deep within the forests, and the magical barrier that surrounded the place. The barrier being a rather powerful one, but weak in comparison to what Lucifer knew of, and could create.

She sensed the students around the school, some of which were in their rooms, some were exploring the campus more, and some were outside just relaxing. She sensed all of it. It was...nice, and it was freeing. Feeling the sensations of the forest and the animals within was much more comforting than Lucifer had thought it would be.

More than that, she could feel something...else, deeper in the forest, the sensations of...death. More than one, at least a dozen people had died deeper in the forest, and all of them had happened recently, and...painfully. There was a dark feeling near them, something Lucifer hadn't felt before, something new to her.

Feeling this, Lucifer gazed further in the forest, as her eyes widened slightly as she saw what had happened, frowned, and disappeared in a rapid blur. No one even noticing as she disappeared.

Within a small opening, with trees on it's outskirts, Terra, Musa, Aisha, and Stella all stood, wide eyed as they gazed at over a dozen dead bodies littering the grounds in front of them. Many of them were missing limbs, and were bloodied beyond recognition.

But there was a single survivor, an older gentlemen known as "Saul Silva" this man was the main professor of the specialists, and the most skilled of them, besides Jasper himself. He was also given the mission of taking care of a "Burned One" which was basically a scorched creature that were originally human, before being transformed into dark creatures that had a high resistance to all things fire related.

They also had a rather poisonous strike that will kill the one infected, unless the burned one itself is killed. There was some herbs and remedies that could slow the death of the one infected, but it wasn't a long lasting one, and would only give the individual a day or two to live.

Silva was littered with cuts and seemed to barely be alive at the moment, with blood pouring from various cuts on his body. Should he not get a proper treatment soon, it was certain that the man would die. Besides the fact that he was certainly infected at that point.

"Mr Silva? What in the hell-" "Where's Bloom?" Aisha cut Stella off, as they all stopped, before looking around with furrowed eyebrows realizing that Bloom was nowhere to be found. The girl in question had run off after she heard some rather strange noises, courtesy of the burned one. The burned one itself was connected to the Dragon Flame that Bloom held within her, as the dragon flame was what had created the creatures in the first place.

"I-I've got no idea, but I think maybe we shou-" Before Terra could continue, a soft swoosh filled the area, as they all turned, only for their eyes to widen as they found Lucifer standing there, the woman frowning at the sight before her.

"Seems some idiot thought to release the burned one" Lucifer said, before looking to them. Looking over all of them, Lucifer deadpanned, before speaking.

"...I'm not surprised you're here, but I had hoped you would go to a teacher about the ring, as I'm quite sure we wouldn't have told your mother, Stella. Afterall, that woman is the definition of a stuck up bitch" Lucifer said with a disappointed sigh, while Stella looked somewhat insulted by what Lucifer had said about her mother.

Walking closer Lucifer looked down at the barely conscious Silva, before sighing as she crouched "They really fucked you up, didn't they?" Lucifer said, as she looked over the man, noticing the severity of his injuries, and his rapidly weakening life force, showing that he was growing closer and closer to death.

Coughing, Silva let out a chuckle "Y-Yeah cough and I-I'm assuming your L-Lucifer" Silva spoke, coughing as he struggled to keep consciousness.

"Yep. And I'm gonna help you out, mostly because my friend actually somewhat likes your classes" Lucifer said with a small smile, before lifting her hand as it glowed powerfully.

Silva and the group watching, let out small gasps of awe as Silva's body was rapidly glowing, Lucifer beginning to rapidly heal the man with her power. And within the next few moments, his body was good as new, eyes wide in awe as he felt better than he had ever felt in his entire life.

"H-How did-" "Best not to question it, Silva. For now I think it'd be best we go and find that burned one and kill it before it causes any more issues, alright? Then we can come back and gather the dead" Lucifer said, causing the man to stop before nodding, as that was the best idea at the moment.

"But where is the thing?" Stella asked, causing Lucifer to smile. She had already spread her senses earlier, and was constantly keeping an eye on the creature, and the others in the forest, as she planned on wiping them out quickly, instead of letting them cause issues for her in the future.

"I've already gotten it's location. You all stay here while I go kill the thing. And yes, Stella, I'll be getting that ring back for you" Lucifer said with a nod, causing the girl to let out a small sigh of relief, happy knowing that her mother wasn't going to find out.

"I'll be back in a few minutes" Lucifer said, not giving them a chance to stop her, before she disappeared with a flash of light once again, leaving behind a frustrated Silva, and a supremely confused group of girls.

Deeper within the forest, Bloom was staring wide eyed as a burned one charged at her, as she attempted to burn it with her magic, only for it to rush through it, as if it wasn't doing anything to it (which is wasn't).

Just as it was about to launch it's attack against her, it's body was slammed into the nearby tree by an invisible force. Turning to the source, Bloom breathed out a sigh of relief at the sight of Lucifer standing there, an annoyed look on her face. Turning to Bloom, Lucifer only had one thing to say to her foolish student at that moment, and that was...

"Honestly Bloom, did you really think fire would work on that thing? They're called burned ones for fathers sake!"

That's the end of the chapter!

Some talking and explanation on the burned ones, as well as killing one, and that was basically it. Next chapter will have some talks and family time. The chapter after that will have the next class being shown, which will include her first proper lesson to her new students.

Anyways, have a good day!
