It wasn't till late at night did Heero and Hilde arrived in the castle and it wasn't until near noon time when Heero walked down the hallway to meet with Zechs. "Ahh, Heero welcome. I am terribly sorry on that attack against you last night, my men are searching for clues. How was your sleep?"
Heero continued to walk still in his armor, "Fine. Thank you for letting us stay." Zechs smiled and jerked his head with a slight nod, "You're welcome, it's no trouble at all." Hilde was outside in the garden looking at the tall pink roses. "Welcome." Quatre greeted happily as Hilde smiled, "Hello, i'm Hilde." She did a curtesy as Quatre bowed, "I am Quatre."
Duo watched them from the window of his room. His eyes were bored, serious, and his lips pouted outward as he slipped away from the view. He removed his shirt as he saw a large bruise across his chest. "I'll get him back." Duo smirked as he quickly went to get changed.
"And over there are the gardens and here is the pool area."
Relana pointed out as Heero followed her not saying much. "Where are the other exits?" He asked her as she wasn't more then happy to show him. "This is the right wing gate and across from there in the corner is the left." Heero smiled and nodded as he waited for his tour to be over.
That night Heero snuck out the right gate and went back to the woods. Zechs' men couldn't find any clue as Heero waited. "Coward!" Heero shouted with a grin as he heard hoofs behind him. It was the same figure from the other night, "Why do you seek me?" He asked as Heero growled, "Why did you attack me!?"
"Heh... I wanted to see if you were any good."
Heero removed his sword as the dark figure got off his horse and unsheated his sword. Heero got off his horse they walked until they were ten paces away. The forest rang out cries of iron against iron. Quick manuvers and slashes with the swords as Heero threw his sword high into the air, he then dropped down and kicked the legs out from the other man. The dark figure fell as Heero stood up and caught his sword.
"Now i'll see who you are!"
Heero used his sword to lift the helmet off as he gasped. His attacker has no face! "A fantom?!"
"Call me whatever you like."
The faceless man spoke as Heero backed away. "Magic!" Heero snarled as he swung his sword hitting the other man in the arm. "AHHH!" He saw the face flicker for a brief moment. "Who..." Heero's brows stayed close together as he watched his attacker crawl and mutter something. "In thy Divine light, blessed me thee to cast this light.." Heero saw the wound heal up.
"Magic user, ehh? That won't stop me!"
The dark figure broke into tiny little droplets and was soaked into the ground. Then a loud flap was Heero looked up and saw him there with his large wing bat wings as he didn't fly, but glided along the wind. Heero got on his horse and rode back to the castle. Duo had went to a very large tree in the forest he glided and landed on a thick branch as he closed his wings with his hands. He crawled inside as it was a hidden shelter, he had been practicing magic for three years.
It was banshied by his father after an accident had happened. When Duo was only a small boy he made a mistake in a spell and it caused his pupils to turn from black to a dark haunting violet. Since then Zechs had feared for Duo's well being and everyone else so now Duo teaches himself in secret.
"I gotta say.. Relena has taste.." Duo grinned as he held his arm, the wound may be closed but it did not remove the pain as Duo stayed inside for awhile. Heero remembered that moment when he caused pain to his attacker he saw a face. It had an up turned nose and chubbly cheeks with brown strans hung over his eyes. Heero wondered what color those eyes really were. Heero rode back in as Hilde was standing there.
"What are you doing here!?"
Heero grnuted as Hilde stood near by then walked along side his horse. "You went after him didn't you?" Heero looked forward with a angered frown, "Yes.." Hilde shook her head and softly sighed. "You'll get yourself killed one of these days." Heero motioned his horse to go back into the stable as Hilde went back up the stairs inside.
Heero had set his horse back and walked outside as he heard that same large flap as he looked up and saw nothing. "Could it be...? That he followed me?" Heero rushed inside as a few white feathers fell softly behind him. He stalked around the dark hallways but could find nothing.
Duo was in his room as he began to unstrap his wings and folded them back and neatly hid them. He removed most of his clothing as the bruise on his chest began to fade, it was healing on its own and Duo fell into his large red and black satin bed and went to sleep...
Death had lost this match....
