Pretear of the Old Legend

Chapter 6

Everyone was frozen except for Risa. She rolled her eyes and walked to him. The one that she was walking toward was the one everyone was confused about. The man every one of them hadn't seen in a long time, the one Himeno hadn't ever seen. But the guy still looked familiar too her.

She had to say—even though she was taken of course—he looked hot! With his white hair and all…wait she knew someone with white hair. But before she could think of whom it was Risa spoke.

"Oh come on, is it any fun without it?" she asked as she pouted. "I don't think I can do this and not get blood on me. Is it really possible?" she asked. Then she smiled as she walked into his outstretched arms.

Everyone was shocked even more when they hugged each other. Another thing most Knights…no, not just the Knights, but any guy in the Old Kingdom wanted. They would want her walking into their arms, and hug them. Did that mean she loved this guy? Or was she just close to him like she was with Erebos? Was she close to him and was their relationship that of a brother and a sister?

She backed away and frowned, "Oh damn, I got blood on you…again."

He laughed and said, "Does it matter? I need new clothes anyway."

She smiled, but stopped when she saw Himeno. She titled her head and circled her. "It seems my power; my just being here, has kept Himeno's uncontrollable power in check. Does my power balance it out?"

She stopped in front of Himeno after she circled her. "Hm…it seems my sister has had a hand here. Yes, Hayate my sister caused this; I know you wanted me to say it. Now I have." She turned around to look at Hayate and she lowered her eyes whispering two words: "I'm sorry."

Hayate was stunned, he was the only one who heard her. It seemed she was sorry about what was going to happen. He wasn't stupid, once he saw Himeno and knew what happened he knew there was no way to save her. And here was Risa, his Princess, apologizing to him. Himeno, the only reason his love was this way was because he wasn't doing his job. He should have been there protecting here, damn it all!

She turned back to Himeno and continued, "Her goal is for Himeno to die, and she wants me to be the one to kill her…like I should. That way she splits all of our power. All of you except Tenebrae—which makes me think wouldn't he die too, that is if I kill Himeno? Anyway all of you are attached to Himeno, save for Tenebrae—which doesn't matter does it if he is died? Anyway, so if I ended up killing her all of you would turn on me and hate me. That is her goal. It's to make you all hate me and hopefully end up getting you all on her side."

Himeno had too many questions to ask Risa, so she just couldn't stay quiet. "What the hell is going on? Who is that?" she asked as she pointed to the guy who had blood on him, the blood that had gotten from Risa to him because of that hug they shared. "What do you mean your going to kill me?"

Tenebrae could feel Himeno's panic, confusion, everything she felt as if it was his own and he felt sorry for her. But that wasn't all he felt from her. He admired that even though she was in this state she still kept a level head and her fiery attitude still got out. Both of them knew the situation they were in, both of them, unfortunately didn't know the way out of this mess. Or any way out at all. They weren't the only ones either.

"Ok, since no one wants to answer my questions how about we get out of this predicament we all are in? Eris, since you control Darkness can't you do something? What happened to the other ones who did this? What about the Pretear who couldn't transform back?" Himeno cried, trying to keep her voice calm, but it didn't work out that way.

Risa sighed, "So many questions, where to start?"

The guy Himeno didn't know, but did at the same time, spoke after glancing at Risa. "The ones who were stuck in the Pretear of Darkness form…well they went out of control and…we…had to kill them. The Knights too, there really is no way other then death. That is unless…but that can't work. The others either died from exhaustion or went to sleep and stopped it. But for Darkness, I don't think either of those options will work."

Hajime sighed, "Mannen's right," Himeno gasped that was Mannen? Damn he was hot, but before she could think of any more things to think about him she saw him smirk. "So Himeno, now that you see my true form do you wish that you were with me not Hayate?"

Risa elbowed him and he coughed. Himeno and Hayate just ignored him, but Goh just laughed and started teasing him until Risa sighed and told them to stop.

"When I healed him I guess I messed up and it brought back his memories and his true form. So Mannen what was that you said wouldn't, or couldn't work?" Risa rolled her eyes at the face Goh was making at Mannen.

Mannen scratched his head and said, "Um…I was thinking about Kei being light and all could cancel it out by trying to fuse with her, but she sure as hell can't handle chaos." That was just all they needed, an out of control Chaos Pretear. God help them all if that actually happened.

Risa sighed again, how many times had she sighed just in the last few minutes? Himeno just got another idea, "How about you take the Darkness out, take Tenebrae out. You know like the Erebos thing, you were talking about. The thing he did."

Risa and Tenebrae were shocked beyond belief, but only Risa voiced it. "You stupid ass girl, do you want both of you to die? You both would die if I did that!"

Now everyone was shocked, did Himeno know what she was talking about? Some part of them, just a little part, thought it could have worked…that was until Risa spoke. But none of them had time to think more about her stupid comment because a bolt of Darkness hit a tree.

Both Shin and Risa flinched; Shin flew to her and held onto her hand. She knelt down and hugged him. He squeezed her tight, trying to forget the pain. After they had calmed down and were over the pain that the tree just felt, Shin looked at her and asked her a couple of questions.

"Is the only way for one to be weaker right? Is that the only way to end this and stop the pain? Strong Pretear's control weak Knights. And once the Pretear is in control she can stop being fused with the Knight right? Isn't it that simple?"

They all laughed at what he said, it just wasn't that simple. Risa hugged him tight, then whispered in his ear, "Thanks my little smarty pants."

She stood up, handing Shin to Mannen. Then she pulled out one of her Sword's of Chaos and walked toward Himeno who was still fused with Tenebrae. So technically she was walking toward both of them.
