Chapter 5
-Failure of the Soul-
" We will want to be ready. I don't think Soul and Aafaron are all right." Link drew his sword and carried it, even if they were not close.
" In the distance." Link pointed." That shrine, we can find shelter there." Rika pulled out her dagger and followed after Link within the sands.
" Why is it so quiet...I thought there are normaly sandstormes here..." Rika called out.
" What the-..." Link noticed that the air was filled with still floated rain, or water droplets." The air...it's.."
Link then noticed a darker liquid hanging in the air."Blood...It is as if the gravity is unbalanced here, like it's weaker."
" Oh, no...what happened here...I should have stayed..." She then paused when they arrived at the shrine."
Look like this place was hit as well..." She said, noticing the holes in the roof and on the sides.
" The shrine!!!" Link ran to the base of the shrine and jumped on the edge of it gracefully. The Shrine as crumbeled on the top, like it was smash by something; not lightning. Rika ran after him and entered inside. The air was very still and slilent with debree every where.
" What that?" Rika called noticing a black furry animal under the rubble. She held her dagger closer to herself, more than ever, as she felt a sick coldness sweep over her when her eyes came upon it.
" I don't know...it resembles a large cat or wolf." Link looked confused." What should we do?" With that word. Just then Rika and Link jumped as the creature, whatever it was, moved, causing a loud noise as the rubble fell off it, and unto the floor. It opened it's eyes. They were silver blue, and seemed to pierce your heart and flesh with a single gaze. Link spoke rather casually.
" Look, thats a nasty gash." Link had noticed a large cut and blood, fresh, dripped from the wound slowly.
" Wolves, or whatever that is, aren't native to these parts..." Rika then looked into the wolfs eyes and had the same feeling of emptyness from days ago.
"Wait..." She walked up to it, it seemed to still as she approached. It looked very dangerous. As if it were not moving, and would lunger for her any moment. so she was cautious when approaching.
" I'm not gonna hurt you..." Said Rika," If it doesn't try to hurt me first..." She thought.
Link grabbed his sword as a precaution, but doubted the beast would attack. The creature seemed to try and back away in fear, or some other reason, but it fell back down and cried in pain.
" I don't care, lets just help it!" Link was hurt by the animals pain. Though he saw suffering in it's eyes. Rika bent down to the large beast and put her hand over the wound and muttered a few words. She began to glow as the wound on the wolf began to heal. She frowned.
" Why does this feel so famillar..." Soon the wound closed up and Rika fell to the ground exhausted from the healing. Link gasped.
" Rika, are you Ok?!" Link waited for an answer. The Beast got up slowly and went to the corner of the room and fell to the corner in exhaustion. Rika breathed a few times.
" I'm ok...but there something different about that thing..." Rika struggled to get up and walk over." I know your too wounded to fight me...so let me do this quickly..." Her hand slowly closed in on the beast's forehead. It suddenly reared up as Darkness surrounded it.
" Rika, get back!" Link shouted as the creature reared up. He watched as the wolf, or whatever the creature was, was nearly completely cloaked by darkness. Then, through the darkness an all familiar face jumped out. Soul knelt down and then rose. Too look into the eyes of Rika. He looked away. He then muttered two horrible words; ones that would scar him and the rest.
" I failed."
