Chapter 8: Black Wind and Deva found
"Uh, I don get it…"
"Still?! But I have explained it every way I know how, and you still do not understand?!"
"Not really. The stuff's to complicated,"
"Yes, you have an empty head…"
"Hey! I may have a hard head, but my head ain't empty! At least I know what it is yer tryin' to explain to me!"
"Yes, because I told you."
"Yeah, so?"
Norris and Karsh are at the Zenan Mainland, inside the town of Ioness. Karsh, finding something quite odd, decided to take it to Norris instead of Luccia. Now, Karsh ended up getting a lesson in computers, which no matter which way Norris tried to explain them, Karsh didn't understand.
"Mr. Norris!"
The strange voice echoed throughout the halls of Ioness Palace.
"Kyrii! Why are you here?" Norris asked. The small girl had short brown hair and green eyes, and was wearing a green cloak.
"Mr. Norris," she said desperately, "the amulet you let me guard has started reacting strangely!" Kyrii cried. "It's clamped onto my arm!" she cried again. "I can't get it to come off, and it keeps glowing with this scary black aura!"
Kyrii couldn't have been more than 10 years old. She rolled up the sleeve on her cloak of her right arm and showed Norris and Karsh the black amulet that had latched onto her arm.
"It is on pretty good. Karsh, is there any way you could get this off? If you cannot, then either Luccia can, or it is up to the computer and I," Norris said, gesturing to the computer.
"Either that, or we'll have to chop her arm off," Karsh said. Kyrii's eyes widened and she backed away. "Naw, I was just jokin', kid. Let me see your arm." Kyrii held her arm up to Karsh. He tried to pry the thing off of her arm, which wouldn't budge.
"Well, we either take her to Luccia, or let me have a try," Norris said. Karsh, rethinking how much stronger than Norris was, said "Luccia" in his mind, but Norris did have a way with computers that he didn't have.
"Uh… what do you want to do, kid?" Karsh asked Kyrii.
"Um… I'll let Mr. Norris take a shot," she said. Norris took Kyrii's left hand and walked over to a large computer. It was the main computer, and it was a large cylindrical computer in the middle of the room, which had other gadgets and computers and such.
"So, just how are you gonna get that thing offa her arm with a computer?" Karsh asked.
"Well, it can take awhile, but computers are amazing, and they can do just about everything. However, I might not be skilled enough to get it off like this. I'm sure that there is someone out there that if I cannot do this, they can. But hey, it is worth a try," Norris said. He typed in some passwords and stuff, and then put Kyrii's hand with the amulet clamped to it in a small scanner. It scanned her hand with the amulet on it. Just then, the ground rumbled and the power in Ioness went out.
"What h-happened, Mr. Norris?" Kyrii asked.
"Heck, who knows, let's just not wait to find out, today. You know how bad that the weather has been, right? It's gonna start acting up again, and then we'll be in big trouble traveling out to the El Nido Mainland again. We'll have a bad storm ahead of us," Karsh said. "Let's not give it time to get worse!" Then, two boys came running up.
"Sir Norris! The shaking! There's a big monster downtown!" one of them said.
"Big monster? Ah, crap… just what I need to end the day," Karsh said. The two boys started running, and Karsh, Norris and Kyrii followed.
"HEEEEEEEEY! WAIT UP!"
"You must have some sort of abnormally loud voice, April,"
"Shut up, Glenn! When did I ever ask for your opinion?!"
"Karsh! Wait for us!"
"Huh? Serge? Glenn!? MARCY!? What're you all doin' here? What's with the kids 'n stuff? Why the weird yellow garden ball? Karsh asked.
"Garden ball? Where?" Otch asked.
"Um… never mind," Karsh said.
"Holy chilitos! It's the Pure Evil Amulet!" Otch shouted.
"Huh? Pure… Evil!? Does that mean Kyrii is… evil!?" Karsh shouted.
"No I'm not evil! It won't get off of me! It all of a sudden clamped onto my arm!" Kyrii shouted. The two other boys exchanged looks.
"We don't have time for this! There's a big monster down south of Ioness! Us orphans don't know crud about fighting monsters! We'll get ourselves killed!" one of them said.
"Well then! That means we get a little fight to end the day, now doesn't it?" Glenn said.
"Yeah… guess it does…" Karsh said, disappointed.
