Chapter 40
The Seal
The scene opens up, both Noah and Tai land a punch to each others jaw, they both fall back to the ground. Snow began falling even harder, they were exhausted.
"Stop this!" Natsu said as he jumped down behind Noah and Tai. He had someone with him. An old man like himself but with white hair. Natsu picked Noah up and held him.
"Hurry! He's the one. Seal it!" Natsu yells. The man began speaking in tongues, a magic circle appears above Noah's wrist as a chain begins to lock around it and locks into a key lock. But it was a special magic key lock that only a seal magic user can open. Noah's head knocked back as a dark light began seeking from his eyes and into the chain. He the. Snapped back but passed out.
"It's gone. We've got Noah back." Natsu said.
"Yes, I placed a seal on him that sealed up the inner demon. That chain is the seal.
"You mean it's over? He's back to normal?" Tai asked as he staggered up.
"Yes. This is an old friend of mine, I met him a long time ago." Natsu said pointing to the man.
"Yes, my name isn't really important now, but it's a pleasure." The man said.
"Oh. Well thank you. You brought my brother back.." Tai said.
"Hey!" Tristan said from the other side of the ravine.
"I don't know if you've noticed, but we've got injured over here!" Tristan added.
"Right, we need to hurry home!" Natsu said.
The scene changed to the next day, everyone was normal, Noah and Tai were patched up, Marcus was still getting treated in the infirmary.
"Hey. You know, we've never had a true break. I say we go to the beach when Marcus is fully healed." Noah said.
"Hey, that's a great idea!" Mariah said with a wide smile.
"Heh, it's been awhile since I've been to the beach." Natsu said.
"It's settled then. When Marcus is fully healed we'll set out!" Tai said.
"Yeah!" Everyone said with a cheery tone.
Noah began looking at the chain around his wrist.
"What's up, Noah?" Mariah asked.
"Nothing.. It's just weird I have to have something like this just to keep me normal. I don't like this.. It makes me feel like a monster." Noah said.
"Oh don't worry about it. It makes you unique." Mariah said with a cheery kind hearted tone.
"Yeah I guess you're right." Noah said.
"Besides. I'll love you no matter what." Mariah said with a bubble tone.
"Yeah.. Wait what?" Noah asked.
"Ohhh nothing.." Mariah said; skipping away.
"Hey wait!" Noah yells as he chases after her.
The scene switches to a dark room. Three men were standing there as a door opened up, it was Luke who opened the door, he was bandaged up.
"I'm sorry Master. I failed to stop them from getting the subject back." Luke said.
"Now now, Luke.. It's far from over.. It won't be long.. We'll get our way.." The man in the middle said as he begins laughing darkly.
The scene then darkens.
