Chapter Ten: The Next Adventure

Eyaria POV

I had been months since the fight, since he became a Vasto Lorde. I had grown in strength, whenever we encountered hollows we did not attack unless they did. Most tried to avoid us but arrogant hollows tried to attack, he gave the majority of them to me. I had grown to be an above average in terms of strength. Sometimes he let me fight, only stepping in if there was outside interference. It was odd, when in combat I could not sense him. Sometimes i think he just disappeared. I had beaten and eaten many hollows, I was so much stronger than before. I walked behind him, his small humanoid form containing so much power. We talked, sometimes. About what few memories we had, about the odd hollow known as Nel.

"Wait, she was not a full hollow," I said surprised. I saw him nod "she was deffematy a odd hollow, there was a second energy mixed in with the normal hollow one". Then I noticed him flinching, he looked off into the distance. I looked at him, slowly getting closer. He suddenly jumped back "what are you doing Eyaria ''. I narrowed my eyes, "what's going on" I said moving inches away from his mask. "Gah, um nothing. Just someone I know is getting too close for comfort." i tilted my head "who do you know, what is it Nel?". I saw him laugh "no Eyaria, i would actually be happy to see her. No this is a different hollow, a fellow Vasto Lorde. I Don't know their name, but they are the one who nearly killed me back when I was weaker."

I saw his eyes narrow as he described this hollow, this was the one thing about him that stood out. Now that he no longer had to feed, he was quiet. He stood aside and let me fight and feed, he never actively hunted down hollows unless I needed to feed. I felt my power grow with each kill, but he was always out of my league.

No matter what happened, he was the strongest. Noone was stronger, even that shark vasto lorde. He was weak then, probably around my level. Now, he was the strongest. He once called us masters, masters of are bodys, souls and actions. I don't know why, but if anything is true. It's that the strong are the masters. They rule over the weak, like that vasto lorde in las noches. He was different, he did not force me to be his servant when it would be so easy. He was so odd, even kind. He had saved my life, made me strong. I do not bow easy, and I would fight against any attempt to control me. He doesn't try to control me, he simply helps. Frustrating as it is, it's making me stronger. Though, if anyone is worthy of being called the title of master for me, It's him. Until I am stronger, Until I take that title for myself.

It was during one of many trips that he seemed distracted, he kept looking off into the distance. I had just finished off an Adjudas, when I heard him say "do you trust me". I looked at him, before quickly consuming my meal. Then I turned to him and said "yes". I walked up to him saying "what going on" I asked curiously. I saw him chuckle, before saying "i think it's time to skin a shark". My eyes widened "So we were going to fight her" i quickly piped up "why now, i mean i am much stronger now but did something happen"

He turned to me, I could feel that he had a smile behind the mask. He then turned back, looking back to the horizon. "I have an edge now, she may still be stronger than me but with my new abilities I should be able to win. Also it seems she has made a new enemy. She made the 'ruler' of this land" he scowls at the title "angry. His little minions are going to get revenge. if we hit at the right time she will be weakened and no match for me. I will need you to keep her little allies distracted."

His eyes suddenly go wide, then narrow quickly "that's not possible". I move closer to him "what is it now?" Curiosity coming through clear in my voice. "That minion of the false kind, he just became like Nel!". My eyes widen, another hollow with that strange second energy. Would the minion have strange abilities like Nel's healing and cero negation. Could we fight against that, when the most powerful attack becomes worthless. The cero, the strongest attack we have will become worthless. My confidence dropped quickly, but then I saw the look in his eyes. Past the bird-like mask, dark blue eyes like a raging ocean. He was the strongest, he was sure he could win.

I nod to him, I can see he is pleased. "Don't worry, they will weaken themselves first. I will take out the minion, then the shark. You just keep her underlings attention. If this all comes together right, this will be a slaughter. I will consume the minion and the shark, you will get the sharks underlings"

I can feel a smile from underneath my mask, a wicked grin that would scare even the most powerful vasto lorde. Luckily it was hidden, and all he gave me was an amused look. He would learn, I knew what the other energy was. I wonder, how would he fair against the soul reapers. Well, as long as he does not face a captain he should slaughter them where they stand. He took off, I followed as quickly as possible. He matched my speed, and we made our way toward the coming battle.
