Hello and welcome!
Not much to say today except I hope you enjoy and
Brand new story starting in three, two, one!
"I don't understand it." Zhixian growled under his breath. "I don't understand how these warriors are so virtuous, how do they keep winning? master tell me please!"
"Who have they won against?" the master asked sternly, it's voice low and gravely.
"They have just defeated Kai, master. The un-dead warrior." Zhixian answered nervously. "I though he would truly defeat them."
"Alas you were wrong!" howled the master, causing Zhixian to jump back in fright, the darkness obscuring his vision so he wasn't able to evade falling roughly onto the jagged rocks below. "He didn't defeat them, they are still alive and well, you must kill them! Or I will kill you." It added in a whisper.
"Y…e…. yes master." Stammered Zhixian. "I will kill them."
"I may have an idea of how to." The master smirked, it's voice rising to a high squeak of excitement at the prospect of the dead warriors. "What makes a person Zhixian, what makes them a soul and not just a shell?"
"Their physical abilities master."
"Correct Zhixian, what else?" whispered the master.
"Past memories master." Zhixian replied, trying to keep his voice steady and not allow the stutter to penetrate it again.
"Yes, and?" the master's large fiery eyes swelled in knowing curiosity.
"Their bonds and emotion towards others master." Zhixian felt a little twinge of pride tug at his heart after he said this, knowing the answer would be correct, which indeed it was.
"I'll leave those answers with you then." The master chuckled and slowly began to fade into the fogged mist.
"No, master please, I don't know what to do!" Zhixian cried desperately.
"Figure it out, if those warriors aren't dead in a month, I'm killing you." The master responded harshly, and a smirk re-appeared over its lips. "Goodbye Zhixian, I will be watching you."
Zhixian nearly kicked the floor in anger as his master faded into mist leaving him alone in the cave.
The rain thundered down outside and the wind howled, portraying exactly what he was feeling in his head.
"What am I going to do?" he murmed to no-one, the gritty words of his master bounding around inside his head.
The thunder pounded outside and his head ached with the continuous cracking of the lightning.
Suddenly a thought struck his brain, so suddenly you thought the wind might have brought it in, it smacked his brain and he felt a smirk crawl it's way up his face.
"I know." He whispered. "I know what to do."
The smirk widened as his brain filled with details of his plan, everything had to be perfect, there had to be no escape, no way out of his torture.
He strutted across the cave, feeling the cool rock against the bottom of his feet and stood by the cave's mouth.
He looked out into the cool repetitive slashing of the raindrops, and sighed contently; he knew what he was going to do.
Short chapter I know but I'm not sticking with my 1000+ words rule in this fic.
Hope you enjoy and review please!
