It would be a busy month ahead of me with still one noble to go. I had a fair guess of where he might be but it would be a hard fight. The loss of a loved one can make people do stupid reckless things. It can make them unpredictable. For a Noble to lose a child when they spent so many years watching them grow it must be heart breaking.

I had arrived at my lab only a few hours ago after the long three day trip. I hated having to waste time going slow but if I pushed myself now then I would be in no condition to fight. My master was right. I would need to be able to sleep for a large block of time to heal. Already that trip had left me feeling like I was burning from the inside out.

I set off for a trip to the blacksmith in the village after changing my clothes into something more human like. I would need to get some more metal to make some cuffs after leaving my set in Lukedonia. The village was nothing great. Just a bunch of humans and animals in rundown little houses.

The villagers turned there gaze from me as I entered town. It must be human instinct picking up on the dark spear as all humans treated me the same way. I didn't bother to look at anyone but still my eyes fell on a young boy sitting near a shop looking to be begging for food. Humans were to greedy even to their young. I glanced in the window of the shop were the boy was to see bread and other baked things. I went in and purchased what ever caught my eye. The owner looked at me wearily before accepting the coins.

I Left and stopped then looked at the boy
"Sir can you spare some"
"I was going to offer you some coins to help me carry this back to my house"
"Yes I can help sir"
"Good now come along"
He followed somewhat unsure as I did not pass him anything. My house was at the edge of town. I only owned it so I would not seem as bad that I entered the village every few weeks.
"Boy, would you get the door"
He ran to get the door and I laughed. It was nice to see a child still full of life, even if he has been struggling. I swept into the house glad it wasn't that dusty thanks to the wolf who lived here a few months ago.
"Now boy where are your parents"

His eyes filled with tears but he spoke.
"They past last winter sir"
"I am sorry to hear that. You can stay here from now on"
"I couldn't sir"
"I have to leave town soon as a friend is unwell, It would be good of you to tend to the house while I'm gone"
"Are you sure sir"
"Yes, now the garden is overgrown as I have been away so why don't you eat and then we can get started on that first"

I spent the next week teaching him how to tend to the garden. What plants he could eat and how to make different meals. I even showed him how to set traps to catch any critters coming to snack on the garden. I had shown him how to skin a rabbit so he could trade the furs for coins or other things he needed.

I had made my house so there would be little he would need from the people in town but it would be good for him to still go there from time to time.

"Boy I am off now so here is some coins to use on the house, remember to only use them when you really need to"
I put a bag of coins in the draw under the table.
"Yes sir, have a safe trip"
"I will and remember there are some large fur blankets in the chest for winter"
"Will do sir"

I left then heading to the blacksmith at last. Once there I past him some coins for what I needed and left back to my lab. I would need to get to work on these and then get some rest.

It had taken me two days to make what I needed and another two to recover enough to make the trip. I was weighted down with the drugs and the chains. I had carried them last time but I could feel the strain more this time. I wondered if my master felt like this during his fight with Muzaka. I travelled at a little faster then human pace which turned the four day trip into an eight day trip. With out my masters seal it was easier to use my power but without it. It was hard to keep it in check after its rapid growth.

Sorry Master I don't think I will make it back in time this full moon.

I had dropped my bag some half a days travel away from the base not wanting it to get destroyed and I knew that was the right chose when I saw the hideout doors were wide open as if inviting me here. Who was I not to accept. As I strolled to the door Roctis walked out looking as calm as any noble.

"Frankenstein long time no see"
"Roctis you are the last one left, would you be nice enough to just stand down and go face you punishment"
His face turned to one of rage.
"So it was you who killed my daughter"
His power shook the ground.
"She broke my masters law and you let her"
"I left to save her"

I laughed calling forth the Dark spear.
"You killed her by not stopping her"
"Do not shove the noble ways on me Frankenstein. they are not your ways either"
"So you haven't heard"
I let my power flow into my wings, feeling it help me balance the power trying to escape.
"I am now the Noblesse"

He swang his whip sending his power through it, I slashed out doing the same. They collided, destroying the ground in there wake.
"How could you take his spot"
"I know right a human killing nobles you must of all gone soft in your old age"

We didn't move from out distance apart but kept up with our power struggle. In the next blow I pulled forth more power making it cover everything apart from my head. I would need the speed to get past his soul weapon. I made to strike at him but had to twist to avoid his weapon. It was hard fighting something so flexible and couldn't be blocked. I threw spikes at him but he dodged. I conjured more above him and let them drop as I struck out.

He compressed his power and released it just before they hit him. The dust cleared to reveal a crater but he was hovering above it just fine. Hovering was something I hadn't perfected so I stayed on the ground. better not to wast unnecessary energy when I could still jump to get him if needed. This would be a drawn out fight I could see it now so I pushed the Dark spear back down to my arms. I couldn't risk losing control just yet.

"What's this Frankenstein are you all talk and no bite"
"No just thinking that I wont need that much power to kill you"

We traded power strike after strike and he was getting more annoyed that a human was keeping up with him.
"You have gotten week in your old age Roctis"
"You aren't fairing any better, I'm not in eternal sleep yet"
"I never put your daughter into eternal sleep"
"It had to of been you"

I laughed, it made me feel better. I held out the dark spear in show.
"My baby loved her so much that she got eaten by it"
I saw him lose it then as he built up power in his soul weapon. If I wanted to survive this I would have to give in. I pulled forth all the Dark spears power letting it take over completely and charged.

I wouldn't have long in this form till I lost it completely.

His power took the from of a shark as he unleashed it. I clashed with it knowing it was slicing through my body even if I couldn't feel it. I overpowering it and striking Roctis head on.

I lost it for a time after that, I do remember hearing my name but it was fogy, the dark Spear was shouting to much, all over each other I couldn't make it out. Then they were all pushed back as a pain in my stomach made its self known.

"Frankenstein" It was Muzaka who shouted at me.
He pulled his hand out of me with a squelch and then placed it flat over the top.
"Muzaka what are you doing here"
"Either saving you or killing you but as your talking I must be saving your ass"

I pushed Muzaka's hand away and replaced it with my own. Before looking around. Roctis lay covered in cuts filed with dark energy that was eating away at him. I stumbled off to him.
"He will forgive you for protecting your daughter"
"Yes but he will not forgive that I let lives be take by her"
I watched as he smiled.
"Tell him goodbye from me"
"Heal yourself and do it yourself"

I used my other hand to pull my power from him.
"Muzaka my bag is that way go get it"
"I already have it" He held it out to me and I reached in pulling out one of my needles.
"Roctis as the acting Noblesse I sentence you to confinement till Cadis Etrama Di Raizel wakes up"

With that I injected him and watched him drift off. I cuffed him and let My energy run through them, They would hold for years to come.

"You should rest"
"There's no point" I said knowing I was right.
Death had never scared me, as all beings die sometime. I could feel the dark spear pushing as hard as it could knowing that I was weakening. I would be dammed if I was going to let it win.
Master I will miss you

"You need to kill me now as I can not get back to my master before the next full moon"
He turned me to face him and the world spun.
"I can't do that"
"Then I will lose what little control I have and kill all life left on this planet"
"I will get you back to your master in time you just take it easy"
"What about Roctis"
"I will come back and find him, then keep him with the werewolves till you can come fetch him.
I didn't protest as he scooped me up bride style and he set off at a blur.

I wasn't asleep but I couldn't tell you what had happened during the travel. All I new was the never ending fight with the Dark Spear. I didn't even realise when we made it until Muzaka called my name.
"Frankenstein You need to unseal the house"

If I could of I would of laughed. Only he would call it a house. I lent over him and made the motions sending power to the right spots.

We moved as soon it appeared. It was caught in the last orange glow of sun down. So we made it. It would be nice to see my masters coffin one last time. I rubbed against the connection.

Master I'm back.
I felt him but he didn't reply. Was my mind to dark for such a pure being to be inside it. Yes I was very tainted now. I heard laughter but it took me a while to figure out it was coming from me.

"Muzaka were to late. I am to tainted for my Master"
Muzaka wasn't looking at me but a head of him with wide eyes.
"Frankenstein you could never be to tainted for me"
I turned my head and my eyes widened. My voice court in my throat. I must be dead, my Master was to weak to be awake just yet.

"Raizel it has been to long"
My Master nodded.
"Thank you Muzaka for bringing my fallen angel back"
"I see the name I gave him has stuck here as well as with the werewolves"

My Master cast his power over me changing my clothes. That was so like my master. He scooped me into his arms and carried me into the room.
"I will see you when I awaken"
"I will see you then old friend" Muzaka replied as he closed the doors behind us and left.

"Frankenstein you have done well"
I didn't question the fact that his coffin was now twice the size even as he laid me down next to him.
"Your job is done so I seal your powers"
The Dark spears presence from my mind vanished to be replace by my masters.
'I order you to sleep until I awaken you'
Yes Master. I managed to think to him before my body grew to heavy and I drifted off to sleep along side my master.
