Chapter 18: Reunion 2/3
Night's POV
As we were sitting in the guest seats of the airship. I looked out the window and noticed a small island.
"Looks like we're here." Ara replied.
"Man, how did we even get drag in this?" Skarm replied.
"Well, all we've been doing is finding the el. We might as well, take a deserved break." Blaze replied.
I nodded my head. The ship, then landed on the ground and as we got out we were amazed.
"Wow, the oceans near us. It reminds me of home." Mizuki replied.
"Well you were raised in Mizu." I replied.
We then walked to the resort house. It was huge.
"Wow this is huge!" Blaze replied.
"Well, when I became King. I sort of celebrated with everyone. So I made it this big." Chung replied.
"Well, get unpacked and dressed we're going to the beach." He replied.
"Alright, its been awhile. Since I relax." Blaze replied.
"R&R might be good." Nyte replied.
"Sounds, great." Chi replied.
"A little break, wouldn't be that bad" Skarm replied.
"Hey Sora, lets get dress." Yuki replied, pulling her.
"Alright, slow down." Sora replied.
Everyone, started to get dressed. I dressed quickly and headed outside. I wore a comfortable kimono and headed out to the beach.
"Huh Night. You're not swimming?" Blaze replied.
"No, its not that. I just wear a Kimono when I'm near the beach. Don't worry, I'm wearing swimming trunks." I replied.
"Well you better remove it soon." He replied.
I nodded my head and I remove it. Leaving me only with my trunks. The rest of the gang entered. They then started to swim. Everyone was enjoying themselves. I was just sitting on the shade of the tree.
My eyes widen and I had a vision. I saw a woman and a baby. Standing near the beach, she said something. I couldn't hear the first part though.
"... you're so cute. I'll bring you to the beach, when you grow a bit." The woman replied, to the baby. I couldn't see the baby's face and I returned back to reality.
"What was that?" I replied. I shook my head and Ara appeared.
"Something wrong?" She replied.
"Its nothing." I replied, I then asked her something.
"Hey Noona, when I was a baby. Where did you find me?" I replied.
"I've found you in my front door of my house." She replied.
"Did you saw who my mother was?" I replied.
"She left, before I could even talked to her." She replied.
"I see." I replied. She, then patted me on the head.
"Don't worry about it, have some fun and relax." She replied.
Blaze, then shouted at me.
"Hey Night, you wanna crack open the watermelon?" He replied.
"Okay!" I replied.
I walked towards him, and he gave me a stick.
"Alright, here goes." I was about to strike, but he stop me.
"Hold it. You forgot your blindfold." He then put it on me.
"Um, what are you doing?" I replied.
"Here are the rules. Three of us, will be directing you. One of us is a liar. You then follow, what we say or if you're stubborn you can use your own instinct to find it. Give it a go." He replied.
They then spinned me around. My vision was surrounded by darkness. The game started.
"Walk forward!" Blaze replied.
I then followed his instructions.
"The other way!" Chi replied.
I ignored her, and continued walking forward.
"Turn left!" Nyte replied.
I then turned left and continued.
"Strike!" Blaze replied.
I then swing the stick and heard something crack. I removed the blindfold and saw the watermelon was split in two.
"So what now?" I replied.
"We eat it." Blaze replied. Ara, then cut the watermelon into slices and everyone started eating it.
"Man this is good." Jay replied.
"Its so sweet." Chi replied.
"Well, this resorts grows high quality fruit." Ara replied.
I finish eating my slice and decided to walk around the beach.
"Hey Night, Where are you going?" Sora replied.
"Oh i'm just going to take a quick walk around the beach. Don't worry." I replied.
I then walked, around ignoring my surrounding. Thinking about the vision I just had.
"What was that vision about? Did it had something to do with my past, who was that women?!" I thought.
I then noticed I was at the end of the cliff and was about to fall down. That was close. I thought.
Suddenly, another vision appeared. There was fire everywhere. I saw the woman again holding a blade and her baby. There were figures over there.
"Hand over the baby." One of them replied.
"You won't take him." She replied.
"He's needed to complete our goal." Another of them replied.
"He's not a tool. He's my son!" She shouted. She then struck both of them down, with ease. A explosion appeared and she jumped outside the house. The baby started crying. The woman, then was calming him down.
"There, there. You're alright. Nobody's going to take you away, my dear son...Night." She replied.
"Night?! Why is she using my name. Wait a minute, then that woman is my mother, and that baby is me?!" So that means all those events, actually happen in the past. Whats happening?!" I thought. I then returned to reality and suddenly fainted. I then fell down the cliff, losing my conscious.
Blaze's POV
"Men, Night's been walking for awhile. I'm starting to worry." Sora replied.
"Yeah, me too." I replied.
I then noticed someone, on a cliff near here. When I looked closer, it was Night? Whats he doing up in a cliff.
"Hey Night, over there." I replied to sora, pointing where he is.
"Hey Night, over here!" We waved. After awhile, he started to act weird.
"Huh, what's up with him?" I replied. He then fell off the cliff. My eyes widen,
"Sora quick, fly to Night." I replied. Sora, then flew and caught Night.
"He's Heavy. Blaze, hurry!" She replied. Sora, then flew on top of land. I then ran up to where, Sora was about to drop Night.
"Sora, let him go!" I shouted. Sora, then dropped Night and he was falling. It felt slow, but I managed to caught him. I then put him on the ground.
I looked at Night and saw, that he was knocked out. Sora, went back down and everybody came. Ara was the most surprised of them.
"What happen?!" Ara replied.
"I'm not sure. I saw Night falling off the cliff, over there." I replied.
"Was, he trying to commit suicide?!" Nyte replied.
"He wouldn't do that!" I replied. He then woke up.
"Huh, what happen?!" He replied, he then sat up.
"We would like to ask you the same question." I replied.
"Are you alright though?" The King replied.
"Yeah, I'm fine." He replied.
Night's POV
"Why were you falling off the cliff?!" Sora replied.
"I don't know, last thing I remember was getting knocked out." I replied. My eyes then widen, as I remembered the visions. I then replied at random.
"Mother..." I replied.
"Huh, Night what are you talking about?" Blaze replied.
"Oh its nothing." I replied.
"Well its getting dark. We should head back to the cottage." I replied.
"Yeah, the cottage also has a hot spring." The King replied.
"Okay." I replied.
"Its going to be great." Nyte replied.
Everyone, headed back to the cottage. Everyone, then headed to the baths. Separate baths from gender. I decided to go bath later.
"Eh, Night aren't you coming?" Blaze replied.
"Oh, I'm going to bath later." I replied. I then headed towards my room and noticed my magatama charm. It was given as a memento from my mother, I held it and after a while I had another vision. It showed my mother sitting on a hospital bed, with my father. He was a fox-human. I was next to my mother, after I was recently born.
"So, what should we name him dear?" My father replied.
"How about NightWing, Night for short. After all, he was born in a moonlight nite and will soar in the sky. Doing great things. Just as I did." Mother replied.
My father smiled.
"Night, it is then." He replied. My mother, then removed a necklace around her neck, and put it around my neck.
"Happy birthday Night, I want to give you this as a present." She replied. It was my charm. I then returned to reality. I then headed to the living room and noticed, that everyone was done except for Sora and Blaze.
"Oh Night, you haven't took a bath yet?" Nyte replied.
"Yeah, I was going to later." I then noticed Jay, beaten up.
"What happen to him?" I asked.
"The pervert, peek in the girls shower. So we decided to teach him a lesson." Chi replied.
"Oh, I see. I guess i'll go bath." I then headed to the boy's change room and undress, I then headed to the bath and notice Blaze still there.
"Oh you're here." Blaze replied. I went in, the warm springs.
"Man this feels great." I replied.
"It sure does." Sora replied, from the other side of the wall.
"Oh you're still in the spring as well?" I replied.
"Yeah, the water feels great. That I wanted to stay in a little longer." She replied.
"I see." Blaze, then noticed my necklace.
"Hey, you seem to always wear that. Want to tell me, why you always wear it?" Blaze replied.
"Oh this. It was a memento from my mother." I replied.
"Was that the reason, you said mother at the beach at a random time?" He replied.
"Well its part of it. Lately i've been having visions." I replied.
"Visions?" Sora replied.
"Yeah visions of my mother and me when I was a baby." I replied.
"Mind telling us?" Blaze replied.
"Sure, the first one. I was with my mother at a beach and she said, that she bring it to me, when I grew up a bit. The second one, is I recently was born and my mother gave me this necklace, as my birthday present. The last one..." I paused and my eyes widen.
"So what happened?" Sora replied.
"I don't want to talk about it." I replied.
"Something wrong, with the last one?" Blaze replied.
"Its nothing, really." I replied.
"Your doing it again." Sora replied.
"Yeah, quit it and just tell us. Night, we're your friends. You can tell us anything." Blaze replied.
"Alright, but keep this a secret to everyone else. Promise?" I replied.
"Promise." They both replied.
I then continued.
"My last vision, showed my house burning down and my father was killed. My mother was protecting me, against two figures that wanted to use me for something. But my mother, took them down with ease. I remember, how she comforted me when I cry that day. She was alway calm and nice." I replied.
"So thats where you're got calm and serene personality." Blaze grinned.
"Yeah, and I'm sorry about what happened to your father." Sora replied.
"Its not your fault. After all, I blame those two for killing him." I replied.
"Still, I help but wonder. If she still alive." I replied.
"I'm sure she's alright and hopefully wondering as well. That you're alright." Blaze replied.
"Well, I'm done. I'm going to head inside. I'll leave you two to talk." Sora replied.
"So other, then me Blaze. Tell me about yourself." I replied.
"Well, I used to hunt stuff at my village. Which is how I learn to wield a sword and gun. My village eden, focused on agriculture, hunting, and trading to make a living. Before, the bandits destroyed my home." Blaze replied.
"What about you, how'd did you're village make a living?" He replied.
"My hometowns, is in the very east of Elrios. So we did the same thing as well as your village. Farming, fishing, hunting, and trading. However, we also thank the spirits of our village protecting us and giving life to it." I replied.
"Actually, truth be told. I've never actually seen the blade you wield. Anywhere, other than you wielding and the people in Mizu." He replied.
"Its called a Katana. Its a blade used in East Elrios. Its known to have a sharp cut as orichalcon. So yeah, its a very uncommon weapon for people to wield. Plus, you'd also have to make a pact with a spirit. To use the full power of a katana." I replied.
"So, do you made a pact with a spirit?" Blaze replied.
"Yeah, the spirit I made a pact with is Ritoru. Its one of Gumiho offspring." I replied.
"I see." He replied.
"Hey can you keep this between you and me?" Blaze replied.
"Sure, what is it." I replied. Blaze, then pushed a button. Wait a button. His arm then opened up a control panel on his arm.
"Blaze are you... when did you." I paused.
"I figured it out recently. Yep, seems like i'm half-nasod." He replied.
"How long, have you knew of this?" I replied. He close the hatch of his control panel, on his skin.
"I learn of it. During, while we trying to get stronger to save you. I overtrained myself, by fighting the creatures of the forest. One of them bit my arm off and instead of it bleeding. It broke its teeth, my skin was ripped off and it showed a metal arm. I then realize, I was part nasod and asked a alchemist in Hamel. To repair the shredded skin. I wanted to keep it a secret from the gang, because they would be surprised if they found out I was a nasod as well. I'm showing it to you, because you wouldn't be very surprised that you freak out." He replied.
I nodded my head and replied. "I am surprised, but you're still you. Just because, something changes about you. You're still going to be yourself." I replied.
Blaze then smirk.
"Thanks Night, can we just keep it a secret to the gang for a little while?" Blaze replied.
"Sure." I replied. We then decided, to head out the spring and got dressed. We then headed to the living room and saw everyone eating. We then join in, we relax and talked and had a good time. I wish, things could be like this forever. However, I have to worry about the obstacles in the future.
I will find out the truth.
