I Am Sin - Chapter 8

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon or any of its affiliates, but I do own my characters and the story written.

A/N: Alright… So this chapter took a little longer to write then I had first thought it would. But it's out now :P so I hope you all enjoy it, and so far it's my longest chapter out, not that much longer... but its my accomplishment okay... don't take it away :(

But without further adieu, on with the story :)


Euphoric… Solitude… alone in one's mind is how you relive your greatest phantoms. It's the way they come back to haunt you. It felt like centuries that I had dwelt in the long avenues of my darkened pastures, when the fading light of dusk basked my form. My eyes creaked open to reveal the ostentatious sight of the devastated room. The first thing that comes to mind as I stare at the ceiling.

'Sleep, those little slices of death… how I loathe them,' I thought while shaking my head to rid my skull of unwanted false dreams.

The next thing I felt was warmth… looking to my side, I saw Nova buried into my side. Sides falling and rising ever so slowly, and I couldn't help but smile. Looking around the splintered room, I could see Wolfe in the corner of the room with Lura curled up next to him. The room was peaceful and quiet, but that tranquility was destroyed by the sounds of construction, troops patrolling and citizens cleaning the streets. The sound still did not disturb the others in the room, as they still were engrossed by their own dreams.

Much to my displeasure, the noise never stopped throughout the night. It stayed constant through the night. I stayed unmoving, as if glued to my spot in the world, I just stared at the Nova, I just couldn't shake the feeling of contempt. Until finally, the sun awakening light shone bright through the windows of the now elongated room. The room was now soaked in the shining rays of red morning light. Standing from my spot, careful not to wake Nova from her slumber, I walk through the hole in the wall and into the next room. Little splinters and chunks of wood tried to embed themselves into my paw, but they just bent and snapped as they were unable to pierce my skin. Walking into the room, I noticed this one held a small balcony to overlook the west market. Looking back to the group of pokemon in the room, I saw that Wolfe was watching me with a look of curiosity. Turning away, I walk slowly onto the balcony. Wolfe, still in his umbreon form stood from his spot, trying not to wake Lura. But the moment his warmth left her; her eyes opened blearily, while raising her head which in turn began rocking back and forth. Leaning down Wolfe whispers something to Lura who just nodded tiredly and placed her head back down to sleep more. He followed me to the balcony, before stepping onto it with me. I had my head resting on the railing, I was sitting and watching the city folk run around trying to repair any and all damage they found.

Sitting next to me Wolfe glanced at me, before looking out to the city as well. "You good bud?" Wolfe asked while still looking out to the city. There was was a long pause, as the guards were escorting a group of chained up black armored soldiers.

Glancing to Wolfe, "Did you see it?" I asked causing him to glance at me again.

"That… thing?" Wolfe asked with uncertainty clear in his voice. I just nodded my head in agreement. "Yeah, I saw it."

"I need your help… so I'm calling in a favor," I stated while turning to look at Wolfe directly. He grunted in minor annoyance as if he already knew what I was going to ask. Turning his attention to me, he sits down in front of me. "I can't train the way I used to," I said while looking down narrowing my eyes in self hatred. "So I need your help to master this thing quickly," I finished not looking up from the deck.

"Yeah… I can do that," Wolfe said with a cocky smile.

"You sure you can handle it?" I asked returning his smirk. His smirk dropped as his eyes narrowed at me.

"I'm not like what I was when we first met… I can handle it this time, after all I did beat you in the sparring match," he stated with his smirk returning, while mine dropped.

"That was one time kid," I say while turning back to the room and walk past Wolfe while smacking him with my tail. "And I prefer the term young adult."

"I'm not a kid!" he quietly yelled while stomping his front paw on the deck quietly, trying not to wake the girls.

"You are still a KID to me," I mocked adding emphasis on the word 'Kid' while heading to the door. Wolfe huffed and shook his head before walking into the room again.

"Are we going now?" Wolfe asked while raising a brow at me. I just nodded and opened the door with Psychic.

"Were not going to wake the girls first?" he asked while gesturing a paw to the slumbering girls. I smirked at him, and he just gave me a quizzical look, before his eyes widen slightly and a smirk appears on him.

Walking up to Wolfe, we both outstretch our right paws to the side, and allow our dark energy to flow to our pads. Quickly slamming our paws together, a shockwave blares out from between our paws, it shook the Inn and even knocked a few things off the tables and walls. Looking to the girls, who were now awake and breathing heavily. There fur standing on end, they quickly zip there heads around the room before both looked to us with heavy glares and growls.

"I said never to do that again!" they both yelled out in unison while still breathing heavily. Wolfe and I looked back to each other, and couldn't help but laugh at them. "Don't laugh at us!" they both yelled again trying to make us stop, only for us to laugh harder.

"You could have given us a heart attack you assholes!" Nova yelled with anger, Lura just nodding in agreement.

I stopped my laughing, "Well you didn't… so we're good," I said while shrugging my shoulders. Nova glared even harder at me.

"You are so going to regret doing and saying that mister," Nova said while wagging her tail hypnotically.

"Haha, you got in trouble," Wolfe said teasingly while pushing on my shoulder slightly.

"Don't count yourself out Aurumn," Lura said with the same demeanor as Nova. Wolfe's attitude dropped into sadness.

"But it was his idea," Wolfe said accusingly while pointing a paw at me with a hopeful look on his face.

"Sure it was," Lura said while rolling her blue eyes at him. Wolfe's shoulders immediately sagged in defeat.


? P.O.V.


Waking on my silk covered bed, I stare at the ceiling in annoyance as it was blocking my view of the night sky. Hearing a quiet knocking on my door, I roll to my paws while sitting down at the foot of the bed to stare at the door. Clearing my throat to let the visitor know they could enter.

The door slowly opened to reveal a female midnight form Lycanroc. She dropped to a knee and bowed her head to me. "You called for me sir," she stated while not looking up from the ground.

Grinning, I jump off the bed and walk over to her. "I have Myra," there was a pause as she rose her head to me. "Has it been done?" I asked with my grin still vary prominent.

"Kinda." My face dropped to that of anger while her head fell to look back to the ground.

"You are the dragon tamer the legends speak of right?" I asked with venom while standing tall.

"Of course I am… this one is just… different," she said defensively while closing her eyes and lowering her head further down.

"It is a dragon, is it not?"

"Well, yeah but…" she began while raising her head again, but was cut short when my powerful paw struck the right side of her face. Her head recoiled to the side while her paw reflexively going to the point of impact. Not daring a look at me, she stared at the ground allowing a long pause to follow. "Yes, it's a dragon," she said sadly.

"Good, then we are leaving for the journey as soon as possible," I said while walking around her to stand by the stairs. "I want to see this thing… bring me to it." I demanded while gesturing her to the stairs. She just nodded dully and began to lead.

I followed her for around an hour and a half out of city limits in pure silence, until we stood atop an inactive stone quarry that was dug at the apex of a small mountain. I could not see the bottom from the top, but many pathways spiraled down the sides of the quarry, and much of the digging equipment was left behind. She began walking again, going down the stony interior of the mountain. We stopped as a bellowing roar shook the mountain. The quarry acted as an amplifier, as the clouds above parted to allow the stars and moon to shine throughout the sky. The Lycanroc had trouble holding her footing, so she just got as low as she could, to not fall from the edge. I however was peering over the edge to look into the dark void below. Even as a dark type, my eyes could not see through the blackness below.

I glared back to the Lycanroc to make her start moving again, which in turn made her stand on shaky legs before leading the way down again. "Are you scared of this thing?" I asked passively. Her head snapped up in fear of answering the question.

"N...no of course not sir," she replied shakingly. Another long silence hung in the stale air, but as we neared the bottom more grunts and small roars were much more present. The sound of chains, rattling and scraping against the dark damp stone was almost music to my ears.

'Arceus I love that sound," I thought blissfully to myself while closing my eyes to further enjoy the sounds of entrapment. Reopening my eyes, I look to the Lycanroc who seemed worried of the current state of her assignment.

Once at the bottom, there was a thin layer of water covering the quarry floor. There were many scientists studying items on tables. The items ranged from massive green scales to chunks of charred rocks, which held white ore in them. No one looked up from there research to pay me any mind. Looking to my right, large green fluorescent eyes glared at me from behind white bars of colossal size. The sounds of the chains ceased and growls of anger followed suit. Walking up to the bars, I glared up at it, the Lycanroc also followed me to the bars.

"Is it ready?" I asked as I started to pace in front of the bars.

"No sir," the Lycanroc answered.

"How clo…" I began but was cut short as the dragon slammed it's green body against the bars which made no dent or scratch on the metal, and it started to roar in anger because it couldn't get to me. It roared and pulled on its chains to try and free itself. I growled lowly and stopped my pacing, I leaned back and slammed my head into the bars. The bar bent from the force of the headbutt, gasps could be heard behind me, and the beast had stopped it's wails and roars and remained silent. Only it's heavy breathing could be heard, as all of the scientists were silent as well. "ARE YOU DONE!" I yelled to it while continuing my pacing, only to get a groan in response.

"You're legends speak vary highly of you," I say to it while gesturing Myra to start her preparations, who in turn, ran off. "It fell from the sky, tearing the heavens asunder. Wherever it may fly, destruction and devastation soon plunder," I recited it's legends while looking into the cage. "If you hone this beast, only one may stop you. But if you try, it's your heart that will be ceased. And the one, they will put your soul up for review," I finished as I stopped my pacing while in the center of the cage wall. I glared up to it, "I hope you hold true to these legends of yours."

"Sir," said Myra from behind me trying to get my attention. Flicking my right ear in her direction, "The prep is ready, we are ready to leave at your word," she said in a low bow.

"Good, we will leave next week be ready," she just nodded before walking away.


Wolfe P.O.V.


After leaving town limits, we all walked to a small clearing, the girls were still giving us the cold shoulder. No matter what I said or did, they would still ignore us, though Kage didn't seem to mind.

Finding a suitable clearing, Kage and I walked to the center while the girls layed down at the tree line and started to talk amongst themselves. Kage turned to me and sat down, "You ready?" he asked.

"Damn right," I respond while getting into a defensive stance. Kage just nodded and closed his eyes while his ears dropped back.

"Are you sure you can do this?" he asked doubtingly not opening his eyes to me.

"Yes, of course I can," I shot back with a cocky grin, even though he could not see it, he shook his head slightly at me. Kage did nothing for about ten minutes, and just remained sitting there with his eyes closed. "What are you doing?" I asked impatiently tapping my paw.

"Feeling," he said plainly.

"Feeling? Feeling what?"

"My eyes."

Looking to the girls, they were just talking and not paying us any mind. I sighed in annoyance as another ten minutes passed. I was laying down on my back staring at the blue sky, with my paws up trying to block the light of the blinding sun.

Until Kage finally spoke, "Okay, you ready?" he asked plainly while standing up from his sitting position with his eyes still closed. Bolting to my feet I got into a defensive stance again.

"Finally," I said while lowering myself a little more.

"Okay, listen close… I'm only going to use one eye, at one percent power," he declared with his eyes still closed. I just nodded in confirmation, though he could not see me, he slid his paws slowly into an attack position. "You're gonna wanna be in Human form for this."

Closing my eyes and focusing on my Human form, I feel myself morph into my Human form, armor and all, but left the daggers out and dropped myself into a defensive position. "Okay, can you just hit me now," I said impatiently, Kage just gave off a huff of annoyance.

Kage's right eye snapped open, I only had a brief second to see his eye, but it was pure black, almost reflective. That's when what appeared to be a small purple tornado of sorts materialized in front of Kage's right eye. And out of the tornado, came a purple glowing skeletal arm and hand of human, it was fast… Even faster than Kage when using Valeurs. Things seemed to slow, and I crossed my arms in front of my chest. The hand clenched into a fist, and fazed through my arms and struck my chest. Next moment of control I was on the ground in the forest groaning in pain. Looking up while pushing my front half of the ground with a grunt of effort. I saw Lura running over to me, I could barely see the light from the tree line from how far I was sent into the clearing.

"Aurumn are you okay?" Lura asked while dipping her head under me to help me up. Standing up, I lean against a nearby tree.

"What... happened?" I asked wheezingly unable to catch my breath. It felt as if my air was being pulled out of me.

"Kage didn't even touch you, and you went flying," Lura responded hurriedly while jumping back and forth repeatedly.

"Stop… Stop being… cute… I can't handle it right now," I said with a smirk, she just stopped her hopping and gave me a soft glare. Pushing myself of the tree, I slowly walk back to the clearing, where Kage was. Kage was swaying back and forth, with his right paw over his eye. Nova was trying to keep him from falling over.

After sitting down for a few minutes, my breath finally returned to me. Standing up, Kage was already ready to continue.

"I thought you said you could handle this?" Kage asked with a grin.

"I can, let's just continue."

Hours past as Kage and I sparred. Whatever this thing is, it doesn't seem to have a range, and it can faze through anything it wants to, and it's able to sap your energy away from you, just from a single touch. Dodging to the right as it flew past me, I heard a very deep and feral growl and the arm vanished. Looking to Kage, who had his paws on his head in pain, I walked up to him.

"You good?" I asked while turning into my umbreon form before sitting down.

"Yeah… it just hurts… I need a break," he said while plopping onto his back to stare at the bright night sky. Following suit, I layed down next to him. About half an hour past before Kage spoke again but only after he glanced over to the girls, who had fallen asleep some time ago cuddled into one another. "I have a bad feeling about this…" he said as he looked back to the stars.

"Oh great, another feeling… what is it this time," I said with an exasperated sigh as well as a grin.

"This fight to the east…"

"What about it?"

"It just feels… off," he answered while rolling to his paws. He looked between me and the girls before settling his glare on me. "I'm going to ask you to do something… and when the time comes… all debt is forgiven, you owe me nothing after it. As well as Leilah's favors, they would also be forgiven."

Getting slightly worried I rolled and stood up to. "What kind of favor is this?" I asked while cocking my head to the side slightly.

"When I call for it… I would like you to send your people to the east."

With a sigh, I looked to Kage. "Of course… I was going to do that anyway," I said with a grin earning a chuckle from Kage.

"Oh… and keep the orb safe," he said plainly while rolling back onto the ground, I just nodded and did the same as him.

Staring up to the night sky I just couldn't help but wonder, "What was the story again?" I asked not looking from the stars.

"I already told you when we first met," he responded with no emotion.

"That was a long time ago." Kage just chuckled again.

"Yeah… I suppose it was… alright here we go," Kage began, "Back in the first days of beginning, Arceus created the world, but in order to do so, she created these pockets of time and space to funnel energy. After the world was created, she made the legendaries… there job was to guard and protect their point of creation which were the pockets of space time Arceus had created prior, picture these pockets as like a valve, it can hold or release energy. Then as time past, the earth grew, and henceforth came humans and pokemon. Arceus saw that these creatures were wild and unpredictable, so she created the 5 elder Divine."

"These 5 elders watched and monitored the people of the world… but they grew at such a fast pace the elders could not keep up. So the 5 elders created a Divine that was under their guidance. These five normal Divine were made to symbolise colors of emotion. The first were as this, Purple, Grey, Red, Green, and Blue. They made them in order to create a better bond with the Humans and pokemon, as the 5 elders were unable to leave the Realm of the Gods. The 5 Divine were made to mimic mortal emotion, but they soon found out that they didn't just mimic, they had the emotions. Now, not under the control of the 5 elders the Divine began to socialize with mortals more than they should have."

"This led to love… or lust depending on how you look at it, and hence came more Divine. Then followers like you and I came to be," Kage retold while staring into the stars.

"So these... Elders hold no emotion?"

"From the legends... that would be correct." Then silence followed as we both stared up to the stars and moon and time seemed to be at a crawl.


Lemon Ahead…

MxM


Turning my head to look at Kage, I noticed he was already looking at me. "What? See something you like?" I asked with grin. He gave no response and my grin fell, until.

"Fuck it…" he said randomly. Curling himself up, he rolled backwards into a paw stand and spun. Landing over me, I gave him a look of surprise. Then he smacked his lips to mine, eyes widened momentarily until I kissed back. Seeing as he took the first leap, I would take the second. Reaching up, I dig my claws into his side which barely punctured his pelt, I fling him onto his side and onto his back. Now with me on top, I ouch my tongue into his maw to explore every nook and cranny.

He kept making quick glances to the girls, 'more then likely seeing if there still asleep,' I thought to myself. Wrapping my tongue around his, I pull it into my maw, and he began his explorations.

Kage put his front arm to the side and a red pulse wave shot out, it flung us up and I landed on my back with Kage above me again. 'That's cheating,' I sent to him through our telepathy, and I felt his lips move into a grin. He pulled away, much to my displeasure, and strings of saliva connected our muzzles. Neither of us were panting, as we had a lot of energy from the moon. But he again made another quick glance to the girls, until I bopped him on his nose with my paw to get his attention, he just turned his head back to me.

"What?" he asked plainly.

"Can you pay attention to the moment, not the surroundings?" I asked with a soft glare.

"I suppose I can for a little while," he said while bringing his head down, and clamping his powerful jaws around my neck. I almost lost all control at that moment, luckily I have a lot of training at this.

"Who goes first?" I growled out lowly into his ear as I feel my member fully slide out.

Pulling away, he put a thoughtful look on and looked to the sky for a second. "I kicked your ass up and down the forest, so you can go fir…" he was about to finish when I teleported behind him and softly landed on the ground. Walking forward, I stood above him and bit into his scruff and pulled back while shoving whole dick into his ass in one full hump.

He growled out, and I could feel his muscles twitching. Giving him a second to adjust to me again, I'm a nice guy like that, when I felt a raindrop on my nose it acted like a switch, and I began to hump away. He Is one of my favorite people to do this with… all the memories and time we spent together, all the denial he would always send my way, and the mentor I viewed him as, it all added up to a few hours of euphoria.

On rare occasions, Kage would let out the cutest little moans. He tried to hold them back, as they weren't really his style, it was a nice change from his usual cold demeanor.

Feeling more raindrops in quick succession, it began to pour water. Luckily the girl where under a large tree with a canopy o' plenty guarding them from the rain. Kage obviously didn't want to wake them, so I tried to keep fairly quiet.

Feeling knot swell I was ready to blow, but I held it back for now and continued humping Kage's tight ass. I heard him growl louder and he turned to look at me over his shoulder, releasing his scruff I reached forward and drug him into a kiss. He pushed into the kiss and locked his fangs behind mine, and I could feel a rush of liquid enter my mouth. And the moment I tasted that brisk bitter liquid, it seemed to remove a barrier blocking my orgasm. Panting into his maw, I slammed my hips forward and pushed his ass apart to fit my knot, and I felt my cum pour out and fill his ass. Kage let out a small feral growl and unlocked our muzzles and looked forward again. Panting, I put my front paws onto his back and stood up slightly to push in even further.

Tilting my head up, I gulp down the red glowing aphrodisiac venom Kage produced. Resting my body on his back, I waited for my knot to deflate.

"What's gotten into you?" I asked after catching my breath.

"I felt the tension building…" he said plainly while still looking forward.

"You felt something!" I gasped out in exaggeration.

"I felt a lot of things," he said plainly again.

"No shit…" I responded while shaking my head.

Feeling my knot deflate I pulled out of Kage and sat down, and Kage started to stretch. He turned around to me, "Alright… my turn." not missing a beat, I got up and rolled my shoulders. Turning around, I raised my tail to him.

I felt his weight fall onto my back and his claws dig into my back. He raised one paw and pushed on the back of my head. Lowering my head down, I laid it down in the mud with slight disdain. He did the same as me, and shoved his whole cock in at one time, and I let out a blissful moan alongside Kage who did the same. With my whole body rocking back and forth, mud got deep rooted into my fur, but I didn't really mind. Looking up, I could see that Lura was awake but was still laying down, but she was watching with great interest. Grinning, I winked at her causing her to blush slightly. She was about to get up, but I lightly shook my head at her.

'Mr. Sexy here wants some privacy~' I sent to her, causing her to lay back down with a faint frown. 'Maybe later, okay?' I sent to her again feeling slightly bad for denying her, and she smiled brightly, and laid her head back down and continued to watch with interest.

Feeling Kage's knot start smacking my entrance, I put my back legs farther apart, and as if on queue he pushed his knot in. I let out a deep resonating moan, while Kage let out a feral growl into my ear as I felt a rush of warm cum flow into my ass. After his knot deflated, he pulled out, causing me to moan again. Turning around, I lick Kage's nose with a grin, and he smiled back.


Lemon End


"Well… that was slightly out of character of you," I said while still holding my grin.

"Well, sometimes it's good to play out of character," he responded while looking off to the right. Following his gaze, but I saw nothing.

"Unfortunately, I'm going to have to cut this talk short… someone wants to speak to me," Kage said while raising his left paw into the air. I couldn't help but look at it in confusion, he slowly moved his paw in a half circle, and I still couldn't help but follow it with my head. Once it reached the bottom of its rotation, my eyes closed and my world went black.


Kage P.O.V.


Still looking into the waterlogged forest as I heard Wolfe's body hit the ground and his chest began to slowly rise and fall.

"That's only going to last a couple of minutes you know," said a feminine enchanting voice from behind me. Turning around, a Flareon was sitting behind me with a warm smile on her face, the water seemed to warp and wrap around her form instead of hitting. "Good evening, Reaper," she said with a slight bow of her head.

"Evening, Leilah," I said plainly, returning her small bow. "I only need a few minutes… did you find it?" I asked cocking my head to the side a little.

"You know Reaper, you are not under Lyana's influence anymore, you can speak with emotions," she said with slight concern in her voice.

"It's a force of habit… It's just natural for me to do it."

With a sigh she continued, "But yes I have indeed found the orb, it is in North Memoria in the possession of Fear."

"Hmmm... What can you tell me about this… Fear…?"

"Well… she is a Lycanroc, midday form, lives alone, never had a mate, and is defiant towards Adea or Red… don't know if you knew her name or not."

"Thank you, Leilah." I said with a low bow.

"It was no problem at all Reaper, though I do have some concerns of your plan…" She said with more worry entering her voice.

"My plan, is my plan, just know that Wolfe will not be among them," I said while remaining in my bow of mutual respect.

"That is some reassurance… but what of you? Will you be among them?" She asked while placing a paw on my chin and raised my head.

"It's not part of the plan that I will be… but some things cannot be helped," I said while looking into her eyes.

"Well… good luck to you Reaper… Oh and my orb…"

"I already know… It's been stolen from Lyana hasn't it?" I asked while still looking into her eyes.

"Yes… yes it has… Well then I guess our business is done then?" She asked while cocking her head to the side.

"Yup… we're even," I said with another small bow.

Taking a few steps back, she sighed in relief. "Then I thank you one last time…" she said while dropping into a very low bow. "Thank you for training Wolfe when I asked," she said respectively while maintaining her bow.

"It was a lot more entertaining than I had imagined it to be, so it's quite alright Leilah," I said while walking up to her. "And please… bowing like that is unneeded," I finished with a warm smile on my face.

"Well, my thanks still go out to you." With that she turned away and vanished into nothingness, while the rain continued to pour.

I waited and waited, about five minutes after Leilah had gone, Wolfe's eyes snapped open. He got up and looked to me with a furious growl and glare. I held up my paws in defense, "You're not allowed to do that anymore!" Wolfe half yelled in annoyance that I had put him to sleep.

I gave off a small laugh awkwardly in response. "Well, Nova isn't awake to see me do it," I replied while rubbing the back of my head.

"Oh~, really? Then I shall tell her," Wolfe said while turning around and began to walk to Nova. My eyes widened in fear for a second, and I jump over Wolfe to stand in front of him, even though i was in front of him he still walked forward as if he was going to walk over me.

"Don't tell her… I will owe you one," I said which made Wolfe stop on a dime.

"Really?... you will owe me~ one?" he said with minor shock. But that expression was soon replaced with a grin, "Deal," he said with a wink. I just gave off a small sigh of annoyance.


Fear P.O.V.


Dirt… Dirt… And maybe a tree if you're lucky. Though if you wanted a shrub, this is the place to go. Leaving the confines of my stone home, that is all one would see. The clouds shrouded the sky, unobscured by any trees, or mountains. It was quite peaceful out here. Alone, undisturbed, what more could one ask for. Looking back to my stone den that was protruding from the ground, it was just big enough for one. But what caught my attention most, was the white Zoroark crouched low on top of my home.

"Who are you? You look cool!" I exclaimed to the stranger, who in turn just gave me a short expression of confusion, though he did remind me of someone. He gave off a small laugh before sitting down on top of my den.

"Well, aren't you intriguing," he said while looking me up and down, before settling his gaze onto my necklace. Looking down to the red orb tied around my neck, I looked back up to him with a smirk.

"You never answered me," I said while sitting down as well.

"Oh, well it is not of importance who I am."

"I don't care… I asked, and it would be polite to answer," I replied with a soft glare. He just looked down and gave another small laugh. 'Why does he look so familiar?' I asked myself.

"Alright," he started with a shrug. "My name is Mask," he finished while jumping down in front of me trying to act firm and tough, my eyes widened at the name briefly.

"Well… aren't you a confident one still," I said dropping my glare to add a smirk instead. He looked a little confused, as I had referred that we had known each other already.

"I can do many things… There is nothing about me to be unconfident about," he said while kneeling down to my level.

"You're not the only one that can do stuff ya know," I replied while shaking my head. He flinched as he felt something poke him in the back. He slowly turned his head to look behind him, to see that my whole den had been uprooted leaving a small hole where it was and it had taken the shape of a sharp cone with the point facing him.

Ginning as I felt something poke my back as well. With a small laugh I turn my head to look behind me. Behind me was a white Zoroark that looked the same as the one before me, but this one held a white sword that was pressed to me back. Laughing I turn back to the first Zoroark.

"Have you really forgotten that much about me?" I asked while stifling my laughs.

"What is that supposed to mean?" He growled out in anger.

"This," I said plainly. Not even turning back to the other Zoroark, but both flinched away, and the original Zoroarks eyes widened in shock. Turning back to look at the other Zoroark, his swords blade had disappeared, leaving only the hilt behind. Hearing growling coming from in front of me, I turn back to the first Zoroark, who had leaped at me. Taking a deep breath, my vision became wavy as a sharp pain filled my whole body. As he was about to make impact with me, he just flew through me instead. Taking a few slow steps forward and turning around to look at the two shocked Zoroark. Releasing my breath, my vision returned and the pain vanished from my form.

"See… Not the only one that can do stuff," I said cheerfully, only to earn more growls of anger from the Zoroarks.

"Stop the mocking, cunt." he said while standing tall again.

Giving a fake scoff of hurt, "Well that was rude, but cunt really? But here you're the one who is acting as a pussy, two on one, I wouldn't call that fair." I said whimsically, only to earn more growls of anger from the pair. Sitting down I just cock my head to the side, "Are we gonna do this or what?" I said with a smirk.

With more growls of anger, they both rush towards me in two straight parallel lines. The one that held the hilt threw it off to the side, as he deemed it useless. Before the hilt hit the ground however, it morphed into the shape of a needle, and it launched into the back of the Zoroarks knee that had thrown it. The other Zoroark ignored his dopples cries of pain and continued to rush over to me. Kicking up dirt and sand in front of me just as the Zoroark was about to swipe with his claws, all the dirt and sand seemed to connect and changed into a panel of wood hovering in front of me. Hearing his claws strike the wood, it flew towards me. Grabbing it while jumping backwards and over the hole in the ground. Landing on the rough ground with ease, I look to the wood. It held large gash marks embedded deep into it, but what caught my attention the most was the burn marks where the claws and struck. Looking back to the Zoroark, I noticed its claws held a shine in them from the sun, almost as if they were made of metal.

The injured Zoroark rejoined his ally with a limp. He placed a hand on the first Zoroarks shoulder, and his whole body began to shimmer, and he soon vanished. Leaving only one Zoroark left, he started to walk calmly around the hole towards my side.

"All we want is the orb, girl," he said as if he trying to hold back his anger.

"Come on, can't you stick to one personality? It makes contact quite difficult with you." I said while adding my iconic smirk. Anger flashed through his form, and he started to walk faster. As he neared me, he tried to swipe at me again with a half assed surprise attack. Blocking his left arm with ease, I paw strike him in the chest with a much force as I could muster, as the orb began to pulsate and its black liquid became erratic. Once my paw made contact, he seemed to disappear as a gust of wind exploded out from where he once was, followed by a quick succession of groans and other sounds of pain. Looking in front of me, about 300 yards away, layed a Zoroark who left a trail of dust that lingered in the hot air. He was groaning and trying to force himself up. Walking up casually, I place my left paw on his chest to keep him from standing.

"What happened to you Mask?" I asked with true sympathy in my voice.

"What are you talking about?" He asked with venom vary clear in his eyes. "I don't know you," he said with more venom.

"You are Mask, a former member of The Tributes of Meldine, just as I was," I said while looking into his cold eyes that were filled unknowing, while mine were filled with remedy. "You helped me get out, you helped me live…" I said while lowering my body down to his. He seemed extremely conflicted, as if he had no idea who I even was.

"The Tributes of Meldine?" he asked aloud in confusion, but it didn't seem to be directed at me.

"They are an elite group of soldiers that protect the lord of Meldine," I answered. "You were one of the best, along with my father."


? P.O.V.


I sat and waited for my troops to repack their things, and just stared off into the distance. Off on the horizon I could see Tidal Mountain. Fitting name for its appearance. It stretched from north to south, its east side was a blanket of paradise. Trees, jungles, rivers, lakes, grass, and fields of flowers. While the west side was a desolate desert, with nothing but sand. The mountain took the shape of of a tidal wave, hence its name. The mountain always looked as if it were going to crash upon the desert. While the east was just a hill. However do to its size and shape, you could not go over it. By the time you would reach the top, an average person would suffocate from the lack of oxygen. But luckily there was a narrow pass that led through the mountain, almost like a ravine. Many called it the bandit paradise, as it would be a great place for an ambush for merchants, but they would be dumb to attack an army of my caliber.

"Sir… we are ready to move," came a voice from behind me. Turning around, I saw Mask already walking away after delivering the news. I glared at his back.

"Did I dismiss you?" I asked while looking back to the massive mountain barrier. I heard his footsteps cease their movement, before they started to walk back.

"Sorry sir…" he said. Turning around, I saw Mask bowing on one knee while looking to the ground. Walking up to him, I could feel his breath getting heavier.

"Something on your mind Mask?" I asked while walking around him.

"No sir…" he lied, it was easy to tell when he lies.

"Care to re-answer?" I asked again while stopping in front of him.

He sighed heavily, "I sent some clones to go after the red orb…" he began.

"And?" I asked.

"It didn't go as planned…" he said shortly.

"Ah… I see… So is something on your mind?" I asked again, but I have a feeling I know what is happening here. I shouldn't have given him that mission in the first place.

"Y...yes… there is sir…" he said with minor fear escaping from his voice.

"Lower your head please…" I asked, he complied without even looking to me. Placing my right paw on top of his head causing him to flinch slightly at my touch, I close my and focus. After the passing of a few seconds I reopen my eyes and take a step away from him. Looking back up to him with a smirk. "Please raise your head Mask," I said, and he followed instruction. "So… do you have anything on your mind," I asked again.

He gave me a weird look for a second before resting it back to emotionless. "No sir… I don't," he replied blankly.

"Alright then… You are dismissed." I said while waving my paw away.

"Yes sir," he said as he got up and walked back to the army of dark armored soldiers and Masks doppels. Turning back to the cascading mountains, I couldn't help my smile.

"It's been awhile… I get to see you all again, to bad it's for the wrong reason," I said and took a deep breath, and began to walk again.
