Dark Age Legends

[Zeros']

Ryu gazed at Duilin through half-lidded eyes.

"No one is comfortable with killing. That is what makes us human." He indicated himself and Duilin with a hand gesture. "As for pure demons, I have no thought of what emotions they have." He gazed at Rink for a moment before turning towards the boy, his magical eye exploding his senses with evil taint.

Ryu flicked his fingers quickly, causing several kunai to speed towards the young boy.

[Xorlak]

Draven folded his arms as the two blasted past each other at full speed.

"He is a slippery one indeed...  Hmph... we'll have to try appraoching him more discretely next time...  Yes, that aura is the one that worries me, anyway..."

He banked around and began flying in the other direction, after Zeros'.

As they approached the site from afar, the aura was far stronger than when they had left...  Reality seemed to distort around them... they were flying at inhuman speed, but they seemed to not be getting any closer to their destination...

----

The kunai tore through the air and shot right through the child as if he weren't there... nothing...

"You seem frightened... why is that?"

He began to walk towards the group of onlookers...

"I await the command of my Master... Where is my Master...?"

[Dude Man]

"What the hell is that?!" Rink shouts. He cowards away back into the house.

"Ryu, I think the child may be a ghost or an evil spirt of some sort." Duilin says. He then slowly takes a single step toward the boy, he then turns his head slightly "Maybe we should try talking to him." He then turns his head back "Who are you?" He asks

[Trent]

Maxwell flipped Zion backwards, but he landed on his feet, slashing upwards with his sword.

EW Ready!
ZW Ready!

[Dude Man]

Zion's sword cut threw abit of Maxwell's armor, gashing a cut. "Arrg!" Maxwell yelped. "Not that I wasn't going to in the first place, but I'll kill you for that!" Maxwell then trusted his sword at Zion.

[Zeros']

Zeros' glances warily at Draven and nods to him.

"The spirit is preventing us from progressing. It seems the others have no idea how to deal with this force." He said as he stopped in mid-air. "The spirit of evil is distorting, not allowing us to approach. We have to find another way to progress." Zeros' said towards Draven.

----

Ryu looked towards the sky in the direction Zeros' was coming and nodded to himself. He could sense the area around him distorting and bending towards the beings will.

Ryu looked at the small boy through half-lidded eyes. "Child, we have no masters." He then growled slightly and closed his eyes completely. "Dispell  the barrier now."

[Trent]

Zion tilts his head to the side, bringing his hand up in front of Maxwell's face, and firing an energy blast at him.

=== === ===
EW Ready!
ZW Ready!

[Dude Man]

The energy blast smashed Maxwell in the face. He falls to the ground, wile grabing his face. He then plops down to the ground, his bloody face is revealed as his hands fall. He  glares at Zion just before he looses contiousness...

[Xorlak]

Draven landed on the ground, which was begining to shift and move...

"What in blazes...?"

The sky was now red, and the rocky ground attained a similar tint.  Far ahead was a point of red light...

"B-Blast it!!  That's what Retan was after...  If he could control it... so can I!"

He began to hop from shifting rock to rock after the light, not really making any progress...

----

The child continued to approach.

"Who?  I am my Master's.  That is all."

His glance turned to Ryu.  There was no more confusion in his face.

"You don't know where my Master is?  That is bad.  Dispel?  Master says not to accept commands from entities other than himself."

He stopped directly in front of Ryu.

"You must help me find my Master.... Master says if I stay away from him too long, bad things will happen..."

[Trent]

Zion took a bunch of money out of his pocket, dropping it next to Maxwell. "You fought well. You can have that when you wake up."

Zion jumped off of the tower, to see that Xenai and Tsu were done. "We need to find Draven," said Zion. "Zeros' will know where he is. Let's find him."

Zion took off toward the direction of Zeros' ki signal, Xenai and Tsu following him.

EW Ready!
ZW Ready!

[Zeros']

Zeros' glanced at Draven and flew beside him.

"Draven! Don't be foolish! Look what happened to Retan! He wanted ultimate power, he gained death! That is what will happen if you go after it!" He snapped at the crimson man.

----

Ryu glanced down at the boy.

"Bad things always happen, child. We cannot prevent things from happening." He stared down at the child. "Your master is not here." He made a gesture with his hand. "He is out there, but seeking him in meaningless.

[Trent]

Still flying. Just killing off the posts it takes to arrive.

EW Ready!
ZW Ready!

[Dude Man]

"Ryu, I think his Master might be someone else...." Duilin says, he then looks at the boy. "If your master is who I belive he is, then he may be dead...Can you tell me who he is?" he kneals down, next to the boy, narrows his eyes and folds down his wings.

-----

Maxwell opened one eye. "Maxwell is a person so....let my Maxwell go...." He groans. "Zion! You be hurtin' me!" He begens to ramble, and thought begin to swarm in his head "Draven! You came back, and brought order! But you brought....fools....rebels....Retan! We need you back! We need you to rule...Darion....my poor 12 fingered brother...killed, by...Duilin! Duilin....I don't even know you! I don't even care....you live...you go ahead and live, your evil, demon life! Demons......Nex? I allways thought he was a demon, he was crazy. Oh yeah, for sure...."

A lutenaut came and walked near him. "Sir...they escaped....but they took alot of our army, we barely have anything left!"

"Really?" He then tilts his head, he is still lyeing on the ground, with blood driping from his face, he spots the money bag. "Ahhrg! This is an insult!" He throws the bag at the lutenant. "You.....you....We are going...south! We must! That's were those, scum sucking no good people are! I want them dead! They have all weapons! Look!" He points to the sky "We are all in deep shit! Draven, is all alone! We need to do something! You, me and a few others, Wyverns! Let's go!" He slowly rises and then begins to limp away...The lutenaut becons a group of 10 soilders to follow.

[Zeros']

Ryu looked at Duilin with an expression of utmost expressionless.

"We can either assume it is Retan or Haraldur. And before you ask, Zeros' told me tales of his explots in this war."

[Dude Man]

"I assume the same, Ryu..." Duilin said without looking at him. He stood up. "This boy is very strange..." He looks up into the sky "Something is going wrong here, Do you supose this talk about bad things happening if we don't return him to his master is true? It's just if it's Haraldur, we would have the risk of looseing our own lives if getting to him and if it's Retan, well, he's dead..."

Or is he? I never saw him die with my own eyes. I just assumed he did, when the island exploded.

"Well, what if what he means by, 'bad things will happen', is that bad things will happen to those who are bad themselfs. What do you think Ryu?"
