The Guardians of the worlds between
_______________________________________
Part two: Shatar's becoming
The hill was nothing as Shatar/Carmella walked it. She felt as if this was as Shatar had planed it, before their merging. It was a wonders sight for her, the four Warlords were sparring around with one a neither. Then she spotted Kuyra over under a honing watching them. It was Sekmet agents Cale and thus far, the dark warlord of Venom was winning. They were in sub-armor and had smiles on their faces.
"You think you can win? I have bested you over a hundred times Cale! This is easy." Sekmet seemed to say; though, his tone was soft and giving. Cale was the one who rolled his eyes at that comment. They had done this over a million times in the past, though they only now actually had fun doing it. Talpa had said they were to train in the past. Therefore, they never actually had fun training as they did now.
"Yes and that was when we were actually trying to kill the Ronins too remember? I can tell you those times were flunked too! I am not that easy, I defeated Sage of the Halo many times, you on the other hand got roast and toasted when sent after Ryo of the Wildfire." Cale called back.
Shatar then jumped into the air and landed between them. She too wore a grin, of which shot fear into both fighters. One that had them surprised at first. She smiled her all to familiar grin, which always put them on edge. Then they noticed her small changes. Her hair was a bit thicker and her eyes were a space blue and violet in color instead of the light sea blue. Her body was a little more bard in looks, more stranger and built to fight.
"Well brother mine, you started with out me? I am hurt. To think, I was going to go easy on you this time. I guess I am going to have to kick your butt again." Shatar could tell they were shocked at her actions. Because Anubis was by Cale's side in an instant, ready to defend him should it be needed.
"Shatar? Is that really you? How did the meeting go with Carmella?" His voice held worry but little else.
"Brother mine you have so little faith in me and my ablates." Shatar began with a teasing tone. "I am Carmella. I am also Shatar now, we are one now. I am now a, fully powered Guardian of this realm and the many other realms. I have also gained the power to find the others as well. I needed Carmella's mind to find them and, she needed me to be able to guard and fight with her powers. It came out pretty even if I do say so myself, though now I have four big brothers that I can visit anytime." Shatar said holding up the nagata and, showing the orb, which had only show itself when she had used her full power, on the sorceress that had wished to bring Talpa back to life.
"You know it is the truth. Only when I used my full power, dose this orb between the blades even show itself. It did that once we joined into one. Now I have all my powers and ablates as a guardian."
Sekmet then smiled "Ya you did well Shatar. How was the real world, I mean, the one she lives in?" His voice was slightly exsighted yet was held back somewhat. Shatar smiled answering him only using telepathy. They always answer each other like that, when one on one question was asked. Sekmet had been the only one to actually use it on her often enough for her to actually teach him something about it, which he did not already know.
~ You know I found it harder to move around there snake boy. Anyways it was not, half bad, I could still use my powers there too. ~ She smiled as he replied the same way.
~ So could you feel it when you were there? The power, which has been bugging you for the last year and a half? ~
Shatar nodded with a frown. Then looked over her shoulder to Lady Kuyrua. The young empire was siting watching this all unfold.
~ Yes Sekmet. I could feel it; it was like a soul demon but also so much like me, before I gained my powers as Guardian. It repelled any further probing and repelled all of my powers. I think it was because I had as of yet to merge. ~
Shatar then found Kuyra's eyes. They were passive as she pretended to be. Kuyra and Shatar had never really got along. Shatar was Talpa's air to the thrown, some in the Dynasty had said. Then others said nothing; they could feel Shatar's powers and pretty much stayed away from that subject. Their was even a group that said Shatar should fight Kuyra and, should she win take the thrown of the Dynasty, like her father.
Shatar had to explain to them that she did not want it. Her life as a worrier was hard enough as it was, ruling a realm would not be what she should do. She then after explaining to Kuyra the need for it. Called them and made them her solders, fighters for her only. Kuyra had agreed, some members of the Dynasty realm had stated that Lady Kuyra had to have the four warlords by her side, what for Talpa's air? There was ruffle twenty-seven that were regulars and, then two hundred and twenty nine that Shatar trained and used when travailing.
"What might you have to say my lady? Any words, which would be of any help. I would think the staff would have told you by now. I shirr felt its power feeling me out." Shatar said as she turned to face her.
Lady Kuyrua smiled and walked up to her. With a small grin, being received back from Shatar, Lady Kuyrua hugged her. Shatar hugged her back; this was nothing that happened every day. Shatar had made it clear she was not to handle any of Lady Kuyra's affairs. If she did not chose to or, was not needed.
"It is good to see your safe return Shatar of War. I hope that this new merging with Carmella will prove to be fruitful in the futcher. I can already feel the power post you have gained from it. The staff went crazy for a moment there."
Shatar then smiled. "I have to go now but I will return before you know it." As Shatar said that, she shimmered away. Back to the world were her body slept. Also back to the world were Carmella was from.
Carmella woke to find herself on her bed. The silky black covers around her waist. She had thought it a dream but saw in the corner, a special nagata and the orb between the blades, told her that was not dream. She lifted her hand and willed it to her. The nagata then after touching her skin was absorbed into her hand.
"Can't have anyone asking about that. Mom would kill me, she would flip over a fake sword. I have to keep this under wraps however, what can they do to stop me. Now I have to find the guardians that reside hear and, wake their powers in the other world." Carmella the stood and dressed. Her work uniform had failed to reach the washer so she had to wair it dirty.
After a week and three day of training and fighting . . . .
Carmella had entered the Ronin Worrier world early. She had wanted to get more training in. The warlords were very happy to oblige her, in that respect. They knew she wanted all or nothing when they trained. The four of them had done well thus far. Shatar could take two of them on at once. Thought this time was a little different. She seemed distracted and almost distant this time. A call seemed to echo in her ears.
"What is up Shatar? You not completely hear this time. Do you feel a soul demon?" Sekmet asked. Cale then stopped followed by the other three. They knew that, if she could sense one near by she would fight with them. Shatar would never stop a fight for a neither in less in a battle with multiple soul demons in it. She had found that her shirr kill took a lot of energy and, it also took awhile to gather energy for in less she had fight hard before.
"What is eating at you Shatar? Something happen in the other world that has your thoughts?" Cale asked sounding very brotherly.
"I feel something, but it is not a soul demon. It is so familiar, yet not so. It is like a warmth in my mind. I feel I should go to it but, also that I should not. I am confused guys." Shatar said truthfully. Her blue violet eyes showing worry over the whole thing. Her gaze flee to the ground as she gripped the nagata tightly in her hands.
Anubis playing the never ending Ancient replacement stated. "It is you job to make shirr it is not a soul demon or something else. I suggest you go check it out. We will still be hear if you find it was nothing." Shatar smiled as she called her cloak and Nagata to her.
"Very well I will go now. If I don't come back in 24 hours get worried, for the soul demon I am fighting." Shatar said with a sinister grin.
Shatar flew threw the worlds. She had come to her realm and felt a pull. The strength of it was enormous and she could no more ignore it more then she could destroying a soul demon. Over the time she had trained with the warlords, she had attained her guardian senses. Jacked to the max, her powers were coming at her will. She felt as if fire was coming closer. She searched threw her memory and came up with at only one that fit the profile of that power feeling. She could tell as she went threw the other world she was getting closer and after going threw the Gundam (Mobile suit not Wing . . . yet)
The power thrummed in her mind. It called to her and was like a heat that she almost yearn for. She jumped from building to building in her search. Finally, after she had located the five Gundam pilots, she found her. The girl had red brown hair and green eyes. She smiled at the sight. Feeling around her the power was coming from her for shirr, Shatar then felt the call to wake. Smiling she thought tomorrow, I will find you again my guardian friend.
To be continued . . . .
