Chapter 14 – Riddle me this Part 1
As Theodore and Sigmund stood over Aerrow and Piper, Sigmund heard the front door open. Deciding that he was no use here, Sigmund went to go check who was there.
Leaving Theodore with Aerrow and the unconscious Piper he quickly walked down the stairs. When he reached the bottom he spotted two tall Merbians standing at the entrance looking around.
The Merb on the left was slouched over more than Merbians tend to, his features were much like Storks but he wore armor over his clothes. The other Merbian had better posture and had all the features you would associate with a female. Her dark blue seemed black in the dimly lit room.
Being the owner of the building he started his routine introduction "Welcome to the Drunkard Corner, my names Sigmund I am the owner of this fine establishment. What can I do for you today?" the two Merb's looked at him strangely leaving Sigmund out of place "Here for a drink or perhaps some accommodation?" Sigmund continued but still nothing.
Suddenly the Merbian on the left took a step closer to Sigmund who had moved to the middle of the room. A white grin exposed itself upon the Merb's face, he began to speak "We are looking for something that is violent but beautiful at times, something that saws through the air but is an elegant companion if you can tame it" Sigmund had a confused look on his face "is this some kind of riddle?" Sigmund asked.
The other Merbian, the female of the two stood behind the other with her arms crossed. "I am afraid you have to give me the answer plain and simple sorry, I am not very good…" Sigmund was interrupted by a sharp pain in his stomach, he looked down to find the male Merbians fist firmly pressed in to his stomach "wrong answer" the Merbian whispered before upper cutting Sigmund with his other fist.
Sigmund came down heavily on a table which collapsed under his weight. Both Aerrow and Theodore heard the thud "What was that?" Theodore asked and Aerrow shrugged.
Aerrow stood up slowly looking at the stair case "Theodore stay here with Piper, I will go and investigate" Aerrow ordered and Theodore nodded "what if she wakes up?" he asked "let her rest I won't be long" and with that Aerrow cautiously made his way to the staircase.
Down below the male Merbian was adjusting his glove while the other kicked the solid body of Sigmund to see if he had been knocked out which he had. That's when Aerrow emerged from the stair case, his eyes widened when he saw Sigmund.
"Who are you?" Aerrow asked his fists tensed reaching for his blades.
The Merb on the left, who was staring at Aerrow's symbol on his armor spoke "I am Tick and this is my sister Tock, why we are called this is simple much like a clock we never stop until our victims drop" By now Aerrow had pulled his weapons out and had ignited them "Let me guess I am your victim?" judging by the way they were staring at him he was right.
"You may as well place your weapons down and come with us peacefully, but then again where is the fun in that?" Tock laughed.
"Who do you work for?" Aerrow asked
"She is young but tame, she does not believe in independence only dictatorship" Tick replied, Aerrow knew the answer.
"Master Cyclonis" he muttered in disgust.
"Ah the boy has smarts Tick" Tock joked.
"Yes indeed he does let's see if he has the skills to go hand in hand with it" Tick replied before lunging at Aerrow, Aerrow dodged left causing Ticks fist to go straight into the wall behind him.
Ticks fist was stuck, which Aerrow found amusing but was too distracted to notice Tock who had leapt over her brother delivering a swift kick to Aerrow's chest area.
Aerrow stumbled back dropping his blades and tripping on his own feet he fell heavily on to his back. By now Tick had wrenched his arm out of the wall and was storming towards Aerrow. When he reached the Sky Knight he dropped his foot down, Aerrow just rolled out of the way.
Aerrow stood up with his back to the wall, but as soon as he did he was met with flurries of punches by Tock "I…need to fight back" Aerrow thought as he blocked the attack but the attacks were relentless, there didn't seem like a break in the flurries.
He had to time it right, if he didn't he wasn't going to last long. Still blocking every attack he could he waited for her to tire but that didn't seem like it was going to happen any time soon when suddenly she stopped, this was his chance letting his weight take him down he dropped down and swept at her legs, he missed the left leg but the right connected bringing Tock down.
Tick had noticed this and went to grab his sister which wasn't a smart move as he did not anticipate that Aerrow would go after him, Aerrow managed to connect a right hook which sent the Merbian stumbling back.
Tick grasped his cheek before glaring at Aerrow who had a pearly white grin.
"What you can deal the damage but can't take it?" Aerrow teased which sent Tick into frenzy, Tick charged at the Sky Knight who was preparing for the attack. As the Merb came within a meter of Aerrow something unexpected happened, Tick disappeared.
Aerrow looked side to side frantically to see where he went when he felt pressure on his right rib cage then his left followed by his chin causing Aerrow to raise his head awkwardly. Aerrow looked back at Tock's location, she had disappeared as well.
"How can you fight an enemy you can't see?" a voice teased.
