Ren's POV
As I hung there, completely helpless, I couldn't help but wondering, would the members of the Shadow Trail Guild torture us for information, or would they just leave us here to die? Just as I was about to drift off to sleep, I heard a thumping noise, and saw a male figure descending a set of stairs I hadn't notice before. The man seemed to be tall and muscular, his hair was short and black, he had an eyepatch over his left eye, and his right eye was a shocking yellow color.
"Well? Do you like our dungeon?" The man boomed, he had a surprisingly deep voice. "There are two ways out of this mess for your youngsters, either you defect from whatever guild you're from, and join us, or… we kill you.
"I think we should spy on them...you know, from the inside." Yui's shy but firm voice exclaimed in my head. I gave a slight nod, to signify that I agreed with her, as did Aro.
"Well? What will it be?" The man, who I assumed was the guildmaster, thundered.
"Well sir," I said quietly. "We are going to defect. No doubt about it."
Aro and Yui nodded their heads vigorously and murmured their approval towards my statement.
"Very well. You may refer to me as Head Shadow." He boomed. "However, before we decide not to kill you, tell us what magic you use.
I nodded. "Well, Head Shadow, I use Soul Replication Magic, I can copy people's characteristics, and to some extent, use their magic." I smiled slightly. "Soul Replication Magic can be used to create an entirely fake persona, but since I cannot copy all of a person's physical characteristics, it cannot be used to replicate a person who is already alive."
"I see." The Head Shadow thundered, he didn't really seem to be able to talk anywhere below a scream. " He may live." He said grimly pointing at me. Just like that, I felt the shackles disappear, and I landed on the ground with a slight "Umph".
"You." He said, with his scream of a voice, pointing at Aro.
Aro gulped. "I use B-Burst M-Magic sir." He said stammering, he wasn't nearly as good under pressure as I was.
"Explain." The Head Shadow said with a voice that clearly conveyed boredom.
"Well sir," Aro said. "I can use Burst Magic to enhance my physical attributes by up to 50 times their normal ability. I can also shoot bursts of pure magic power, and I can use Burst Magic to feed magic powers to my allies, revitalizing their stamina."
"Hmm… he may live." The Head Shadow said with his commanding voice, it sent chills down my spine. In the blink of an eye, Aro's shackles disappeared, and he scrambled up and stood beside me.
"And you, the girl." The Head Shadow stared at Yui with his right eye.
"Yes sir," Yui said, with a nonchalant voice. "I use Future Perception Magic, which allows me to view many, if not all, of the outcomes of the immediate future. I also use False Memory Magic, which allows me to manipulate the memories of those who I choose to fight." Yui's eyes were gazing right back into the Head Shadow's eye by the end of this statement.
"The girl... " The Head Shadow said cooly. "May live as well." Yui's handcuffs disappeared as she calmly got up to stand beside me and Aro.
