After the Pillar is Gone
by akoya

chapter 6

review:
"STOP!!" a girl stepped out of the trees and faced the two startled fighters. Lantis stared for a
second then stated in a small voice.

"Hikaru?"

Now:
the girl just stares wide eyed at Lantis before turning and running at full speed away from both
people.

"Wait! Hikaru!" Lantis runs after her but as he gets to the place where she appeared he feels a
lightning ball comming at him and deflects it while still running.

"Her names not Hikaru! Its Kumohi!! Come back and fight li....." Lantis can no longer hear her
yelling at him. he sees Hikaru in front of him but he can't seem to catch up. he would summon
his black stallion but then he would have to ride over the trees and there were to many places to
hide.

"Hikaru!" he yelled at her.

`Kumohi's pov`
help! I have a weird guy thats running right behind me calling my mother's name. i have no clue
as to what is happening here. Lantis, lantis,.... lantis, it sounds like a name i should know. i can't
concentrate here. maybe if i run in a half cresent and make it to the relative position that Nomki
was in before she can help me.

Kumohi brightened at the idea and started to do a sprint. i can't hold this for long but if Nomki
helps i should be ok.

"Hikaru!" he yelled at her.

Ok you know what im fed up. " I'm not HIKARU!!" i could feel anger building up. my mom
wasn't here. i had to do this myself. Nomki did say this was Ciphiro so if mom could do magic
way couldn't i? Might as well try it. i stopped enough to focuse "FIRE ARROW!" Flames burst
from my hand and i jumped over Lantis while shooting the flames at him.

To say he looked surprised would be a loaded understatment. besides using my mothers attack
probably didn't give me any points as to the 'im not hikaru' thing. i don't even care what
happened to the guy. i know that i couldn't have killed him, im definitly not that strong, am I?

`Lantis pov`
damn! This is going to hurt. flames engulfed him but only some of them got blocked by his
hasty, shaky shield. And it stopped him long enough for Hikaru to get away. (AN- he still thinks
shes hikaru. stubborn man.)

"Creature Summon!" Lantis pulls out his sword and summons his black horse. he rides back to
the castle to report to Clef. and yet Lantis seems more depressed then he was before all this
happened.

Sorry got to go. JaNi
