Dark Attention

Prologue

The full moon cast it's pale light onto the field illuminating it with an eerie glow. A battle had been fought. Armor clad bodies lay atop one another broken and bloody. Weapons lay discarded, some protruding from their victims. Under each masked and helmeted head faces were contorted in the last scream of pain felt upon death.

"Find them now," someone said coming to the field, his body donned in plated armor, swords tied to his side. His black hair was worn long and tied at the nape of his neck with a small strip of leather. He had a look of power as he stood surveying the damage.

"Hai Raiden-dono," a small group of warriors said in unison as they spread out to look.

"This is not working, can you not use your senses," a elderly man said, impatience in his voice as he came to stand next to Raiden.

"I wish I could old friend but I am to weak from the battle with the vampire to shift and the blood that was spit is helping little with my sense of smell. Those who lived have chaos in their minds as well as confusion. It is taking some time to locate one person let alone two,"

"I know but we have to hurry it is not meant to be now that they become one. If he tries them together now she will die within the day," the elderly man said with a sigh his age showing plainly on his face.

"Why is it that your vision could not come at a better time," before the other man could answer Raiden felt a stirring in his mind. Touson we have found them, the exchange was done already. We have sent both of them to sleep. What is your will.

Bring your brother to the hot springs so he can recover, send her to us now with the others

Hai touson we are on our way

"I hope old friend that you can pull this off. I will get my lifemate to aid our son," Raiden said knowing what had to be done.

"I may not like it either but it is the only way to make sure we do not lose them both," shortly two men emerged from the distance one was carrying a person in armor over their shoulder why to other had two sets of swords in his hands. As soon as the two men where Raiden stood they set the swords and the person down. The helmet fell off the head of the person that was being carried to reveal a wealth of blue-black hair that rested around her.

"She was injured but from what we could tell not to the point of needing blood," on warrior said as he gave a low bow. Raiden by then had left his body to become light and energy seeking inside the girls. They were right but also were not. She was injured and now didn't need blood, but she had been healed a little and would need more care.

"Take her to the temple she is in need of healing,"

"Hai," the young warrior said as he picked the girl back up and carried her off the field. The other warrior had already collected the weapons once again and was following.

"Are you sure this is the only way,"

"I am sorry Raiden my friend this is the only way open to me and I must take it,"

"You have been a good friend and sensei us all I am sorry to see you leave this world but am glad to have called you friend," Raiden said as they started to move in the direction of the temple.

"As I am glad to have known you Raiden and hate to leave this world, but there is no other chose the vision has come to past and I must now follow through with what is,"

"I know Khouri you will be missed,"

"I will be back you know," Khouri said as they entered the temple leaving the scenes of death behind them.
