1 Chapter 7
Future tellings and dreams…
The night had been long and lasting, it had seemed as if a minute was an hour and a second was a minute. Genity's patience was now growing impatient and he wanted nothing more then to hear the words he had been waiting so long. He had been sitting in his black throne of evil setting orders from one man to the next. At least a dozen men must have been in front of him. Each one bowing and then leaving the room. He had been playing fate's game, deciding who he wanted dead, or who he wanted to tortured.
Suddenly Christopher had teleported himself into the corner of the room. Genity was too busy with his work to even notice that he had come in. He looked at him and he squinted his eyes. Thoughts had struck him like mad lighting bolts, they were rushing through his head a mile a minute. It had bothered him ever since the slaying of the mighty king that once ruled the mighty land. Days of working for him filled his mind constantly, reminding himself how great life had been. Thoughts filled his mind like a rapid waterfall asking him the simple question 'why?' and 'what if?' and he couldn't answer anyone of them. He wasn't exactly sure why he had ever chosen Genity's side either. It seemed as someone was screaming from the inside asking him what he was doing… Someone that seemed familiar…
Christopher walked close to the black throne and Genity glanced at him. Genity looked out of the corner of his eye and lifted his head and looked directly at him. They stared at each other and Christopher nodded once. He nodded back and then lifted his arm and yelled with his deep low pitched fearsome voice.
"DEPART!" Each one of them listened to their lord's command and walked swiftly out of the room. Then the slamming of the door could be heard and Christopher and him were now alone. He walked up to the throne and faced his lord just about five feet from his throne. He kneeled down to the black hard dusty floor and kept one arm across his chest and another touching the ground. "What word do you have to bring me Christopher?"
"My lord, I'm afraid Marron and his workers have escaped. They were not killed."
"What?" his voice was full of shock and aggressiveness. He then paused, keeping silent, the empty sound in the air filled the room. Then it didn't surprise him. What mere human could finish off death's own work. He smirked softly to himself.
"My lord, I do know that they manage to injure one." Genity looked at Christopher and then smirked and slowly went to a laugh.
"Only one?!" Christopher kept his head staring at the floor. He was afraid Genity's anger was going to get to the best of him. "There were hundreds! Even possibly thousands! And they couldn't finish off four annoying brats. Some things are just better left to the king of darkness. I will kill him myself. We no longer need those stupid ignorant block heads. You may burn the zombies… BURN ALL OF THEM! MAKE SURE THEIR SOULS REACH THE FIREY GLAZE OF HELL!"
"Yes," Christopher stood up and walked out the room. He thought to himself for a while and decided not to tell Genity the strange life forces that were felt. The ones that came back felt a strong and dependable life force. It had been linked to something strong… And maybe Genity should have been after that life force instead of Marron….
Marron held the black reins tightly with his hand as he guided Cleo's path. The morning light had come over the hills and the morning stars were disappearing. Colors of navy blue, violet, orange, and pink filled the sky with a screen feeling. When the sun had hit their eyes it reminded them of how tired and how heavy their eyes grew. The area around them was a never- ending piece of land, it had been foggy and looking into the distance strained their eyes. Tomohoma had been holding Katie in his arms like a child. The dark red blood was pouring out slowly because the arrow had stopped it from becoming heavy bleeding. Her cloths were soaked with the red liquid and Tomohoma's hands had been covered in it as well along with Trowa and it had been both rubbed on their faces. It was also flowing from her soaked cloths down her sword and dripping off the end of it making a path.
Marron's eyes stayed intense, he didn't know how far or even where they were, but Cleo was growing tired. She started to slow down and she'd have a hard time running. It didn't suriprise Marron, a horse that could run all night was an awesome physically fit horse. He kept riding though, he was scared… Scared to look back. So were Tomohoma and Trowa but they had been more intense with the scene around them. They had kept their eyes on the fog and it strained their eyes. When suddenly something began to appear. It was a blur, the fog had been too thick to see exactly what it was but it kept moving. When suddenly he heard a voice yell.
"MARRON! MARRON!" Marron smiled and tried to get Cleo to gallop faster but her legs were practically dead. The figure was riding a brown horse with black hair the person who had been riding it had fine gold like hair that ran down his back and his eyes were a pure crystal blue. He had been wearing brown type scrubs and a bow on his back. Marron stopped Cleo and jumped off and so did the other guy and they ran towards each other and gave each a hug. "Marron, it's great to see you."
"It's been so long Leon!" Tomohoma and Trowa jumped off the horse and began to walk over. "Leon, I want you to meet my servant Tomohoma and Katie's good friend Trowa" Leon looked at Katie being held in Tomohoma's arms. It was obvious that she needed some help soon. "How did you find out about us?" Marron's eyes brows raised
"Well to be honest Marron. When millions of men walk past several citizens doors, they have a tendency to notice. When I heard that you were heading in this direction I waited for you. I have beds and food waiting for you."
"Really?!" Trowa said excited "That's extremely kind of you. Were tired and we could do with some rest right now." Leon just paused and turned to the side. Trowa and Tomohoma eyes lifted with shock when they noticed his ear was pointed.
"We mustn't make conversations right now. We need to hurry. Your friend doesn't quite look like she can hold out much longer with her condition. Tomohoma, ride with me. Marron"
"Yes?"
"Trowa and you will ride on your horse, and Tomohoma you take Katie. Marron, I suppose you know the way." Marron smile and nodded, Leon smiled back and they got on the brown horse and rode off. He had been trying to get the horse to ride as fast as it could.
"Just hold on! Exactly how does Marron know you?" Tomohoma said, he looked down at Katie. Her face was growing extremely pale now. And for their sakes they had to hurry.
"Marron and I met a year before the war broke out. We both were working for a man his name was Travelant. It was part of are training."
"Training? What training?"
"Well of all people you should know. When one learns magic, one must go through training." He looked back at him and smiled "Am I wrong?" Tomohoma just nodded 'no' "We went through intensive training for a year together. Because of this Marron and I grew to become great friend.. Helping one another hold the laws of magic to an extent. For I was learning a form of magic created by nature so I could become one of the head elves. Marron on the other hand was learning new forms of magic to become a sorcerer." Tomohoma was just silent. He wondered why his master never told him of Leon, and now that he thought about it, he never told him how he learned his magic. "You wonder why he never told you?" Tomohoma's eyes just perked up.
"How did you know?"
"It's shown across your face." He just blushed and looked down and Leon just laughed. "He probably never told you because when the war broke out, so did the trouble."
"Trouble?… What kind of trouble? What happened?"
"… You will know over time. The forces of nature have granted me with the power to see the future."
"What?"
"An elf must learn such things, but I have sworn no matter how intense it get, I will not say fates decision. And I will not change or question." Tomohoma stayed silent.
"… I see. So you are a powerful elf."
"Yes," They were silent for a while. Tomohoma just looked at his surroundings. An open plain, no sight to it's end. A lively green affect surrounded them. The fog in the area was beginning to lighten up and you could now see more surrounding you. The sound of the galloping horse filled the air with a crisp sound. The smell of the air smelled like fresh drops of dew along the sea. A image finally came to his viewing of a brown thing far in the distance. "That is my house up ahead."
"Out here? Out in the middle of no where."
"Humans don't exactly except elves in their society." Tomohoma eye brows lifted, but he kept silent. They pulled up to the brown house. Tomohoma's eyes just lifted up to the top of the house, he could barley see the top.
"Wow…."
"Come on we must help your friend."
"Oh yeah right!" He went in quickly through a wooden door. On the inside of the house there was a nice decorated feeling. Bright on the inside, windows from all sides and the wood work was excellent. Leon walked over to a table type thing and pointed to it.
"Quickly put her here now." He went over and laid Katie on her stomach. Leon covered up a good portion of her back with a white sheet. Then pulled the arrow out and lifted up her shirt, quickly putting a cloth to her back.
"If we stop the bleeding soon she'll be fine."
"How do we do that?" He just glared at Leon. Leon then lowered his head and put a hand on top of the wound and Katie hissed real badly and tensed her eyes well still unconscious "What are you doing? Your hurting her!" Leon closed his eyes, she was screaming from the pain. The sharp sounds to Tomohoma's ears made him cover them. "STOP IT NOW!"
"SILENCE! And just look!" He then looked down to see a bright blue light come from his hand.
"What the?" His mouth was wide open and speechless. He looked closely and the bleeding finally came to an end.
"I don't have healing powers, but I can stop things." Tomohoma just twitched his eye.
"Oh…" 'maybe we should get Trowa here.' He thought.
"She needs rest." They looked down at her. Her mind was at rest now and she had quit moving from the pain. Suddenly Leon's eyes tensed and he kept staring at her face. Tomohoma stared at him for a second.
"You can feel it from her? Can't you? Marron said he could feel it to, but we can't put are finger on of what it is."
"It's something about her. Something that isn't normal."
"Well do you know.. Well if you read the future you should know."
"Your right, I should know shouldn't I? The funny thing is I don't."
"Huh?" Leon closed his eyes 'I can't look beyond a certain point.' He thought. "Why not?!"
"Never mind that!"
"Huh?" They paused and starred at each other and then heard a gallop
"That should be Marron and Trowa." He looked out the window and he saw Marron tie up Cleo. Then with out warning Tomohoma jumped out and nearly knocked over them. Trowa just stood back in shock.
"What the hell was that?"
"Just wanted to say Hi." Marron giggled to himself
"You guys can come in and sit down if you like." Leon pointed the way in.
"Why not?" Trowa nodded and walked in with Marron behind him. His body was covered in streaks of blood. Marron on the other hand didn't have an ounce of blood on him. Trowa looked at Katie on the table and frowned.
"She looks like she'll be fine over time. She'll be set back a little in training. As you can see she's just about as pale as Marron right now." Trowa and Tomohoma started moving there heads back and forth. Back and forth back and forth they went and Leon and Marron were just staring at them.
"…. Yeah I can see that." Trowa said
"That's… Pale…" Marron just twitched his eye.
"Lets just walk in here and we can sit down to talk." They all followed Leon, but Trowa stayed behind. Then the memories rushed through his head again. He tried to repress them, but couldn't. His sister, he still couldn't get over her. Then he could of sworn he saw the image like it was really in front of him. He remember how his sister was stabbed and how so many daggers stabbed her so quickly. He was in a trance like state. He turned his head grinding his teeth with his eyes tight shut. He then lifted his hand up to the height of his neck and put his thumb and his index finger straight out, perpendicular to each other. There, in between his two fingers a little blue ball of light appeared. He looked down at Katie and then just flicked it at her. Hitting her it, it made her whole body glow a bright blue water type affect. He watched as the affect lasted and walked away. It slowly died down and finally the wound on her back healed completely and her body turned to a nice healthy tan. Her eyes then tensed and flickered open. Her mouth let out a long moan and she lifted her head up. She had taken one look around the room and then paused.
"Where am I?" She could hear laughter coming from the room next door. "Huh?.."
Trowa was silent, his eyes lay on the room over where Katie was. Tomohoma and Marron were both staring at him.
"You used your power didn't you?" Marron whispered to him
"How could you tell?" He looked down at his hand. It was obvious that he was tired, his hands began to shack. "I just need some sleep that's all." Katie walked in the room.
"Marron, Trowa, Tomohoma… What's going on?"
"Your awake!"
"Yeah, but where are we. The last thing I remember was a bunch of guys and then a shock of pain. And now all my cloths are all bloody." Leon then walked in the room with a tray with four cups of tea. "Who are you?" Leon was silent and shocked.
"You knew Leon was here why did you use your power?" Marron whispered to Trowa
"I don't know. It was just a shock in my body that said close the memories." They kept whispering.
"Close the memories?" Tomohoma whispered, Katie and Leon still standing there talking.
"My name is Katie. Please to meet you." She put out her hand and smiled sweetly.
"Leon, my name is Leon." He shook her hand.
"Hehe," she then turned back to Tomohoma, Trowa, and Marron "AND YOU THREE?!!!" They all jumped at her voice. "EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING ON?!" They all looked at each other.
"You explain it"
"No way you!"
"You've known her longer!"
"But I'm afraid of that!" The three of them bickered amongst each other and Leon just twitched his eye at the scene. Katie crossed her arms at the three and stared at them with a death glare.
"AND YOU TOMOHOMA! HOW COME YOU NEVER TOLD US YOU WERE AN ARCHER!" Tomohoma's eyes shout up.
"Huh?… ME!" He could hear the faint sigh of relief that Trowa and Marron gave off at once.
"Umm… Well.."
"… Yeah you never did tell us that you were an archer… How come you never told us?" Marron asked
"Umm… Well… Hehe," he put his hand on the back of his head and gave off a cheesy smile and then looked at his bow and arrow in the corner of the room.
"I would of asked sooner but we had about five thousand men ready to slice are heads off. I wasn't willing to risk it"
"…Umm I can't say…"
"Why not?"
"I just can't" They all stared at him blankly 'What is going on' Leon thought. The look on his face proved that he didn't have a clue of what was going on. He looked at Katie, it had been the first time in years since he had seen a human female and he just had one thought about it. 'Please don't say that women always act like that!'
The thought soon changed in Katie's mind.
"YEAH! ANYWAY!" she smiled and slapped her hands together. "Can you guys tell me what exactly is going on." Leon fell over to her quick change in mood.
"What.. What did I say?"
Later that day, she had found herself in the brown rocking chair. Between Marron and Trowa who sat in chairs beside her and Leon who sat across the room. The coffee table lay in the middle of the room and windows lay behind each of them filling the room with a bright glow. She sat there in the chair rocking back and forth listening to Marron talk about the long journey they had. He first started with the arrow from when she passed out, he then soon explained their decision of the midnight ride from dusk till dawn, and soon to Leon. She listened carefully, making sure to get every detail that he explained. She soon found that it was over and she sat there quietly for a few seconds thinking about what Marron had said. Then she looked up and stared at Marron.
"… So that's what happened." Marron nodded "So, Genity… He's…"
"He's gong to hunt us down. He's even as going as far to possibly read our energy." She turned to look at Trowa his eyes were calm and the blood was now away .from his face. Her eyes went wide to his comment.
"And knowing Genity he'll use his fiercest attacks." Leon took a sip of his tea and placed the blue cup on to the coffee table. All four of them looked at her suddenly, her fist was clenched and her teeth were grinding tightly now.
"Arggggg, I haven't even met him and already he's on my top ten to kill list!"
"I didn't even know you had one."
"At all costs we must get The Moon Light Sword and The Chose One. It's the only chance we have."
"Marron I promise you will get that sword. I will stake my life on it no matter what." Katie said, Trowa yawned into his hand.
"Can we get some," yawn "Sleep first." She took one look at him and fell over.
"I was in the middle of practically starting the greatest speech of all time." Trowa looked at her curiously and blinked.
"…….. Speech???"
"Never mind."
Later that evening they laid in their beds sound asleep, well everyone except Katie. She laid in her bed as her hair surrounded around her white pillow and brown covers came up to her neck. Her eyes open gently and her hand laid at her side. The light from the moon going through the window laid on her face gently and the panes and the tree branch that was outside her window made a shadow across her face. Her eyes then began to close and her sight began to blur softly. She took one last look at the moon and saw a sword of some type, but all she could see was the blade. She tried to focus on the image , but soon found herself losing and soon her eyes wouldn't open. The blade of the sword's image then shined across her face and slowly disappeared into a shiny rainbow like dust across her eyes and soon fluttered into her mind.
Her eyes finally open and she found she was no longer in her room. She was now back in the forest. She was wearing a tight light purple T-shirt and a long sleeved jean jacket, dark blue jeans and her hair was up in a ponytail. She took her hand and clinged to the side of her waist, 'good my sword is still attached' she thought. 'Now where am I?' The forest was covered in trees, and leaves of orange, red, yellow laid at her feet. The trees around her were dropping them slowly. One by one at a time, each leaf fell slowly. She looked up at the sky and the light from the sun was struggling to get through the canopy of the forest, but the branches gave her shade from the warm sun. She looked around, and then suddenly a low pitched whisper was heard in her right ear.
"They will no longer be." She turned her head in the direction of the noise, nothing, silence. Then a breeze ran through her hair and some of the leaves danced in the wind along with her hair. Something about the air made it uneasy. She then began to breath heavy, as if she couldn't control it, and soon found a sweat drop down her face. "Everything will die…" She then turned her head again and took out her sword quickly and held it up in preparation to fight.
"Who's there?!," she demanded and waited, "I said who's there?!" She stayed silent again.
"Everything will die." Her eyes went wide right away, and the sweat dripped from her face. Then her head turned, she began to hear soft screams. The voices then began to seem familiar, they screamed 'help' and 'no'. She gasped and began to run quickly. She could hear the voices getting louder.
"Everything will die horribly" she ignored them and kept running. Her legs were quick and her breath was completely ignored. The voices became louder. 'NOOO' they cried.
"HELLO!" she cried and kept running, no response. Tree after tree she passed "HELLO!!! IS ANYBODY OUT THERE! PLEASE ANSWER ME!" no response again. Her breath was now becoming intense and her legs became faster.
"Everything and everyone will die. Salvation shall no longer be hope and humans will fall. The Earth, the universe, the galaxy, everything will be destroyed to nothing…" She stopped dead in her tracks. The trees stood all around her, and the leaves soon twisted into a circle around her. Around and around they went creating a wall type thing barrier around her.
"WHO ARE YOU?! ANSWER ME!" silence filled the air. "I SAID ANSWER ME! NOW!"
"Answers will come with the start of a beginning." The leaves stopped going around in a circle and then blew all in one direction and her hair soon followed the direction. Her eyes grew angry and she looked around.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!"
"… Look…" Her eyes gazed around the forest until it focused. Her eyes widen and her pupil decreased greatly in size. She had noticed she was at the end of the forest, the trees laid directly behind her and she now stood in front of an open field. And right in front of her laid four corpuses each one sliced in ways that you couldn't imagine. So much blood had poured around them she couldn't even tell where they were cut. Their eyes laid open, lifeless, dead, staring off into no where.
"TROWA! MARRON! TOMOHOMA!" She looked at them closely. They were slaughtered horribly. She ran over to them quickly and kneeled down by them and her cloths soon began to soak up the blood. Tears began to fall down her face and she just sat there. She then froze and put one hand to her face and whipped the tears away. She then raised her head to the sky. Her eyes were full of rage and hatred and a really really really pissed off look. She placed one hand to the ground and stood up onto her feet. "WHO DID THIS! COME OUT AND SHOW YOURSELF YOU COWARD!" she stood up and pulled out her sword. "WELL COME AND FACE ME! I'LL SLICE YOU IN HALF!" Suddenly a black cloak type thing appeared behind her and hovered in mid air. It was dressed like the grim reaper. His face were covered in the shadows of his hood. She was still unaware of the creature behind her. Her sword laid in her two hands, held up, the blade laid by the side of her face. She stood there trying to concentrate on her surroundings. Her eyes tensed, her hands gripped, and her feet ready any moment. "COME OUT YOU COWARD!"
"Everything will die…" Her eye's and eye brow's shot straight up and she turned around immediately. She stood there starring at him for a few seconds in a trance like state, just starring at him. Her mouth fell open and she became speechless. Then with a second thought her eyes came back into focus and she look at him with a look of death. "WHO ARE YOU!" silence filled her ears "ANSWER ME YOU FREAK! WHO ARE YOU!"
"Genity"
"WHAT?!
"You asked me who I was… I just gave a response to your question. Isn't that what you wanted you human."
"ARGGG ANSWER ME THIS THEN IF YOUR SO SMART! WHY! WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM WITH LIFE? WHY ARE YOU KILLING THOSE WHO ARE INNOCENT PEOPLE? WHY?! TELL ME AND TELL ME NOW AND DON'T YOU DARE GIVE ME A PATHETIC RESPONSE OR I'LL SLICE YOUR HEAD OFF INTO A BLOODY HELL!"
"Time will only tell that response…" Katie's anger went over a limit. Her anger was like a pot of water and Genity had been the fire, but this time he had gone to far and she was now boiling over to put out the fire. She quickly took her sword and slashed it back and forth. Each time he seemed to dodge it by jumping backwards a few feet and landing on his feet. Katie just kept running and trying to hit him, unaware of how blinded by her anger she was.
"WHY! ANSWER ME WHY! TELL ME," she flung her sword once and stabbed the black clocked demon in the chest "NOW!" She looked at him, and he was dead silent "TELL ME NOW!!" He then began to look down, his face still hidden, and it was obvious that he was staring at the sword in his chest. He then grabbed the blade of his sword and yanked it out. She took one good look at the sword, not an ounce of blood, it was as if he had none. Her face tensed and her breath gasped and quickened. Before she could even react a hand came out of the clock and grabbed her neck and 'Genity' flew into the closest tree so her back would slam into it. She screamed in pain, the sounds of the forest were now filled with it, just like the way Trowa, Marron, Tomohoma yells were like. She began to take her hands and try to break out of the struggle but then gasped at the red eyes she saw in the cloak. He then looked at her and grabbed the blade and pointed the sharp end in her direction. Her eyes widen greatly and she began to struggle all she could. It was no use she was pinned no matter how much she tried. Higher and higher the blade went and she just kept struggling. Until about a foot above his head he stopped. She began to try to kick him, but soon the hand that she was being held with was pulled closely to him. And she was now face to face with him, so close that she could smell his breath.
"Everything will die… And I will be the cause…" She then looked up and saw the blade beginning to be rammed into her.
"NOOOOOOOO.."
She slammed her head up and gasped. She looked around and began to feel her chest quickly. There were no stab wounds and she was back in her room.
"A dream.." The moon was still out and full, it was only about three in the morning. Still the dream left her somewhat unsound and she got up from her bed. "It felt so real… So… Why was it like that." She then began to get her cloths on, her light purple shirt, her jean jacket, her pants. She then walked quietly out of her room and walked down the long hallway into the living room. She could practically see nothing, not even her hand when she put it on her face. But she kept close to the wall and suddenly she heard something, it was a crackling shot of thunder. She kept walking and soon found Leon staring out the window into the sky.
"Leon.." He jumped and looked at her. His crystal blue eyes shined in the light of the moon.
"Oh, Katie."
"What are you doing out here?"
"Well I should be asking you the exact same thing."
"Well I really couldn't sleep. So I got up. What about you?" He looked at her and tensed his eyes and then slowly turned to the window into the sky.
"The tension in the air is bothering me. I can feel something is going to happen."
"Like what?"
"Look" The clouds in the air were dark black clouds and they were coming together quickly. Faster and faster they came, obvious an abnormal thing. Giant enormous clouds and soon a lightening bolt could be seen and quicker and quicker they were thrown down.
"What's going on?"
"Hmm…" Leon squinted his eyes and looked tensely at the sky. Then it was obvious that he saw something to Katie because he soon widen his eyes and mouth.
"Leon?"
"Hurry! Wake the others!"
"Leon! What's going on?!"
"NOW!" She didn't ask another question and ran to the back to the rooms. She slammed a door open and ran into the room.
"EVERYBODY WAKE UP NOW!"
"Shut up it's late!" Tomohoma rubbed his eyes.
"EVERYBODY UP NOW LEON SAID SO!" Marron sat up slowly and looked at her with heavy eye lids.
"What?"
"Katie, what's going?" Trowa looked at her and she just shrugged. Soon she was pushed out of the way by Leon who was running in.
"EVERYBODY UP NOW!"
"What's going on?!"
"…… Genity….. He's here." All four of their eyes widen and Trowa, Marron, and Tomohoma jumped up quickly and jumped into their cloths and grabbed their weapons. They then all ran out to the living room and looked out to the sky.
"He's not here yet, but he's close." Leon starred at all of them "Come on we must be prepared." They armed themselves quickly and they all ran outside. Thunder and thousands of lightening bolts slammed to the ground. They stood side by side in a fighting pose prepared. Katie looked tensely at the sky and held her sword close to her. "He will come and he will be prepared, do remember. What ever happens make sure that the future is full of promises that the future asks for. Do this as a request. Just promise me you'll win" Leon said
"Request! What do you mean? Leon your going to be here to see us win so don't have second doubts." Trowa said looking at him Suddenly before any of them could question any further a lightening bolt smashed down to the ground and Genity's form was made by it. He looked at each of them and smirked. 'this will be good' Genity thought
"This is it… We must not lose."
Future tellings and dreams…
The night had been long and lasting, it had seemed as if a minute was an hour and a second was a minute. Genity's patience was now growing impatient and he wanted nothing more then to hear the words he had been waiting so long. He had been sitting in his black throne of evil setting orders from one man to the next. At least a dozen men must have been in front of him. Each one bowing and then leaving the room. He had been playing fate's game, deciding who he wanted dead, or who he wanted to tortured.
Suddenly Christopher had teleported himself into the corner of the room. Genity was too busy with his work to even notice that he had come in. He looked at him and he squinted his eyes. Thoughts had struck him like mad lighting bolts, they were rushing through his head a mile a minute. It had bothered him ever since the slaying of the mighty king that once ruled the mighty land. Days of working for him filled his mind constantly, reminding himself how great life had been. Thoughts filled his mind like a rapid waterfall asking him the simple question 'why?' and 'what if?' and he couldn't answer anyone of them. He wasn't exactly sure why he had ever chosen Genity's side either. It seemed as someone was screaming from the inside asking him what he was doing… Someone that seemed familiar…
Christopher walked close to the black throne and Genity glanced at him. Genity looked out of the corner of his eye and lifted his head and looked directly at him. They stared at each other and Christopher nodded once. He nodded back and then lifted his arm and yelled with his deep low pitched fearsome voice.
"DEPART!" Each one of them listened to their lord's command and walked swiftly out of the room. Then the slamming of the door could be heard and Christopher and him were now alone. He walked up to the throne and faced his lord just about five feet from his throne. He kneeled down to the black hard dusty floor and kept one arm across his chest and another touching the ground. "What word do you have to bring me Christopher?"
"My lord, I'm afraid Marron and his workers have escaped. They were not killed."
"What?" his voice was full of shock and aggressiveness. He then paused, keeping silent, the empty sound in the air filled the room. Then it didn't surprise him. What mere human could finish off death's own work. He smirked softly to himself.
"My lord, I do know that they manage to injure one." Genity looked at Christopher and then smirked and slowly went to a laugh.
"Only one?!" Christopher kept his head staring at the floor. He was afraid Genity's anger was going to get to the best of him. "There were hundreds! Even possibly thousands! And they couldn't finish off four annoying brats. Some things are just better left to the king of darkness. I will kill him myself. We no longer need those stupid ignorant block heads. You may burn the zombies… BURN ALL OF THEM! MAKE SURE THEIR SOULS REACH THE FIREY GLAZE OF HELL!"
"Yes," Christopher stood up and walked out the room. He thought to himself for a while and decided not to tell Genity the strange life forces that were felt. The ones that came back felt a strong and dependable life force. It had been linked to something strong… And maybe Genity should have been after that life force instead of Marron….
Marron held the black reins tightly with his hand as he guided Cleo's path. The morning light had come over the hills and the morning stars were disappearing. Colors of navy blue, violet, orange, and pink filled the sky with a screen feeling. When the sun had hit their eyes it reminded them of how tired and how heavy their eyes grew. The area around them was a never- ending piece of land, it had been foggy and looking into the distance strained their eyes. Tomohoma had been holding Katie in his arms like a child. The dark red blood was pouring out slowly because the arrow had stopped it from becoming heavy bleeding. Her cloths were soaked with the red liquid and Tomohoma's hands had been covered in it as well along with Trowa and it had been both rubbed on their faces. It was also flowing from her soaked cloths down her sword and dripping off the end of it making a path.
Marron's eyes stayed intense, he didn't know how far or even where they were, but Cleo was growing tired. She started to slow down and she'd have a hard time running. It didn't suriprise Marron, a horse that could run all night was an awesome physically fit horse. He kept riding though, he was scared… Scared to look back. So were Tomohoma and Trowa but they had been more intense with the scene around them. They had kept their eyes on the fog and it strained their eyes. When suddenly something began to appear. It was a blur, the fog had been too thick to see exactly what it was but it kept moving. When suddenly he heard a voice yell.
"MARRON! MARRON!" Marron smiled and tried to get Cleo to gallop faster but her legs were practically dead. The figure was riding a brown horse with black hair the person who had been riding it had fine gold like hair that ran down his back and his eyes were a pure crystal blue. He had been wearing brown type scrubs and a bow on his back. Marron stopped Cleo and jumped off and so did the other guy and they ran towards each other and gave each a hug. "Marron, it's great to see you."
"It's been so long Leon!" Tomohoma and Trowa jumped off the horse and began to walk over. "Leon, I want you to meet my servant Tomohoma and Katie's good friend Trowa" Leon looked at Katie being held in Tomohoma's arms. It was obvious that she needed some help soon. "How did you find out about us?" Marron's eyes brows raised
"Well to be honest Marron. When millions of men walk past several citizens doors, they have a tendency to notice. When I heard that you were heading in this direction I waited for you. I have beds and food waiting for you."
"Really?!" Trowa said excited "That's extremely kind of you. Were tired and we could do with some rest right now." Leon just paused and turned to the side. Trowa and Tomohoma eyes lifted with shock when they noticed his ear was pointed.
"We mustn't make conversations right now. We need to hurry. Your friend doesn't quite look like she can hold out much longer with her condition. Tomohoma, ride with me. Marron"
"Yes?"
"Trowa and you will ride on your horse, and Tomohoma you take Katie. Marron, I suppose you know the way." Marron smile and nodded, Leon smiled back and they got on the brown horse and rode off. He had been trying to get the horse to ride as fast as it could.
"Just hold on! Exactly how does Marron know you?" Tomohoma said, he looked down at Katie. Her face was growing extremely pale now. And for their sakes they had to hurry.
"Marron and I met a year before the war broke out. We both were working for a man his name was Travelant. It was part of are training."
"Training? What training?"
"Well of all people you should know. When one learns magic, one must go through training." He looked back at him and smiled "Am I wrong?" Tomohoma just nodded 'no' "We went through intensive training for a year together. Because of this Marron and I grew to become great friend.. Helping one another hold the laws of magic to an extent. For I was learning a form of magic created by nature so I could become one of the head elves. Marron on the other hand was learning new forms of magic to become a sorcerer." Tomohoma was just silent. He wondered why his master never told him of Leon, and now that he thought about it, he never told him how he learned his magic. "You wonder why he never told you?" Tomohoma's eyes just perked up.
"How did you know?"
"It's shown across your face." He just blushed and looked down and Leon just laughed. "He probably never told you because when the war broke out, so did the trouble."
"Trouble?… What kind of trouble? What happened?"
"… You will know over time. The forces of nature have granted me with the power to see the future."
"What?"
"An elf must learn such things, but I have sworn no matter how intense it get, I will not say fates decision. And I will not change or question." Tomohoma stayed silent.
"… I see. So you are a powerful elf."
"Yes," They were silent for a while. Tomohoma just looked at his surroundings. An open plain, no sight to it's end. A lively green affect surrounded them. The fog in the area was beginning to lighten up and you could now see more surrounding you. The sound of the galloping horse filled the air with a crisp sound. The smell of the air smelled like fresh drops of dew along the sea. A image finally came to his viewing of a brown thing far in the distance. "That is my house up ahead."
"Out here? Out in the middle of no where."
"Humans don't exactly except elves in their society." Tomohoma eye brows lifted, but he kept silent. They pulled up to the brown house. Tomohoma's eyes just lifted up to the top of the house, he could barley see the top.
"Wow…."
"Come on we must help your friend."
"Oh yeah right!" He went in quickly through a wooden door. On the inside of the house there was a nice decorated feeling. Bright on the inside, windows from all sides and the wood work was excellent. Leon walked over to a table type thing and pointed to it.
"Quickly put her here now." He went over and laid Katie on her stomach. Leon covered up a good portion of her back with a white sheet. Then pulled the arrow out and lifted up her shirt, quickly putting a cloth to her back.
"If we stop the bleeding soon she'll be fine."
"How do we do that?" He just glared at Leon. Leon then lowered his head and put a hand on top of the wound and Katie hissed real badly and tensed her eyes well still unconscious "What are you doing? Your hurting her!" Leon closed his eyes, she was screaming from the pain. The sharp sounds to Tomohoma's ears made him cover them. "STOP IT NOW!"
"SILENCE! And just look!" He then looked down to see a bright blue light come from his hand.
"What the?" His mouth was wide open and speechless. He looked closely and the bleeding finally came to an end.
"I don't have healing powers, but I can stop things." Tomohoma just twitched his eye.
"Oh…" 'maybe we should get Trowa here.' He thought.
"She needs rest." They looked down at her. Her mind was at rest now and she had quit moving from the pain. Suddenly Leon's eyes tensed and he kept staring at her face. Tomohoma stared at him for a second.
"You can feel it from her? Can't you? Marron said he could feel it to, but we can't put are finger on of what it is."
"It's something about her. Something that isn't normal."
"Well do you know.. Well if you read the future you should know."
"Your right, I should know shouldn't I? The funny thing is I don't."
"Huh?" Leon closed his eyes 'I can't look beyond a certain point.' He thought. "Why not?!"
"Never mind that!"
"Huh?" They paused and starred at each other and then heard a gallop
"That should be Marron and Trowa." He looked out the window and he saw Marron tie up Cleo. Then with out warning Tomohoma jumped out and nearly knocked over them. Trowa just stood back in shock.
"What the hell was that?"
"Just wanted to say Hi." Marron giggled to himself
"You guys can come in and sit down if you like." Leon pointed the way in.
"Why not?" Trowa nodded and walked in with Marron behind him. His body was covered in streaks of blood. Marron on the other hand didn't have an ounce of blood on him. Trowa looked at Katie on the table and frowned.
"She looks like she'll be fine over time. She'll be set back a little in training. As you can see she's just about as pale as Marron right now." Trowa and Tomohoma started moving there heads back and forth. Back and forth back and forth they went and Leon and Marron were just staring at them.
"…. Yeah I can see that." Trowa said
"That's… Pale…" Marron just twitched his eye.
"Lets just walk in here and we can sit down to talk." They all followed Leon, but Trowa stayed behind. Then the memories rushed through his head again. He tried to repress them, but couldn't. His sister, he still couldn't get over her. Then he could of sworn he saw the image like it was really in front of him. He remember how his sister was stabbed and how so many daggers stabbed her so quickly. He was in a trance like state. He turned his head grinding his teeth with his eyes tight shut. He then lifted his hand up to the height of his neck and put his thumb and his index finger straight out, perpendicular to each other. There, in between his two fingers a little blue ball of light appeared. He looked down at Katie and then just flicked it at her. Hitting her it, it made her whole body glow a bright blue water type affect. He watched as the affect lasted and walked away. It slowly died down and finally the wound on her back healed completely and her body turned to a nice healthy tan. Her eyes then tensed and flickered open. Her mouth let out a long moan and she lifted her head up. She had taken one look around the room and then paused.
"Where am I?" She could hear laughter coming from the room next door. "Huh?.."
Trowa was silent, his eyes lay on the room over where Katie was. Tomohoma and Marron were both staring at him.
"You used your power didn't you?" Marron whispered to him
"How could you tell?" He looked down at his hand. It was obvious that he was tired, his hands began to shack. "I just need some sleep that's all." Katie walked in the room.
"Marron, Trowa, Tomohoma… What's going on?"
"Your awake!"
"Yeah, but where are we. The last thing I remember was a bunch of guys and then a shock of pain. And now all my cloths are all bloody." Leon then walked in the room with a tray with four cups of tea. "Who are you?" Leon was silent and shocked.
"You knew Leon was here why did you use your power?" Marron whispered to Trowa
"I don't know. It was just a shock in my body that said close the memories." They kept whispering.
"Close the memories?" Tomohoma whispered, Katie and Leon still standing there talking.
"My name is Katie. Please to meet you." She put out her hand and smiled sweetly.
"Leon, my name is Leon." He shook her hand.
"Hehe," she then turned back to Tomohoma, Trowa, and Marron "AND YOU THREE?!!!" They all jumped at her voice. "EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING ON?!" They all looked at each other.
"You explain it"
"No way you!"
"You've known her longer!"
"But I'm afraid of that!" The three of them bickered amongst each other and Leon just twitched his eye at the scene. Katie crossed her arms at the three and stared at them with a death glare.
"AND YOU TOMOHOMA! HOW COME YOU NEVER TOLD US YOU WERE AN ARCHER!" Tomohoma's eyes shout up.
"Huh?… ME!" He could hear the faint sigh of relief that Trowa and Marron gave off at once.
"Umm… Well.."
"… Yeah you never did tell us that you were an archer… How come you never told us?" Marron asked
"Umm… Well… Hehe," he put his hand on the back of his head and gave off a cheesy smile and then looked at his bow and arrow in the corner of the room.
"I would of asked sooner but we had about five thousand men ready to slice are heads off. I wasn't willing to risk it"
"…Umm I can't say…"
"Why not?"
"I just can't" They all stared at him blankly 'What is going on' Leon thought. The look on his face proved that he didn't have a clue of what was going on. He looked at Katie, it had been the first time in years since he had seen a human female and he just had one thought about it. 'Please don't say that women always act like that!'
The thought soon changed in Katie's mind.
"YEAH! ANYWAY!" she smiled and slapped her hands together. "Can you guys tell me what exactly is going on." Leon fell over to her quick change in mood.
"What.. What did I say?"
Later that day, she had found herself in the brown rocking chair. Between Marron and Trowa who sat in chairs beside her and Leon who sat across the room. The coffee table lay in the middle of the room and windows lay behind each of them filling the room with a bright glow. She sat there in the chair rocking back and forth listening to Marron talk about the long journey they had. He first started with the arrow from when she passed out, he then soon explained their decision of the midnight ride from dusk till dawn, and soon to Leon. She listened carefully, making sure to get every detail that he explained. She soon found that it was over and she sat there quietly for a few seconds thinking about what Marron had said. Then she looked up and stared at Marron.
"… So that's what happened." Marron nodded "So, Genity… He's…"
"He's gong to hunt us down. He's even as going as far to possibly read our energy." She turned to look at Trowa his eyes were calm and the blood was now away .from his face. Her eyes went wide to his comment.
"And knowing Genity he'll use his fiercest attacks." Leon took a sip of his tea and placed the blue cup on to the coffee table. All four of them looked at her suddenly, her fist was clenched and her teeth were grinding tightly now.
"Arggggg, I haven't even met him and already he's on my top ten to kill list!"
"I didn't even know you had one."
"At all costs we must get The Moon Light Sword and The Chose One. It's the only chance we have."
"Marron I promise you will get that sword. I will stake my life on it no matter what." Katie said, Trowa yawned into his hand.
"Can we get some," yawn "Sleep first." She took one look at him and fell over.
"I was in the middle of practically starting the greatest speech of all time." Trowa looked at her curiously and blinked.
"…….. Speech???"
"Never mind."
Later that evening they laid in their beds sound asleep, well everyone except Katie. She laid in her bed as her hair surrounded around her white pillow and brown covers came up to her neck. Her eyes open gently and her hand laid at her side. The light from the moon going through the window laid on her face gently and the panes and the tree branch that was outside her window made a shadow across her face. Her eyes then began to close and her sight began to blur softly. She took one last look at the moon and saw a sword of some type, but all she could see was the blade. She tried to focus on the image , but soon found herself losing and soon her eyes wouldn't open. The blade of the sword's image then shined across her face and slowly disappeared into a shiny rainbow like dust across her eyes and soon fluttered into her mind.
Her eyes finally open and she found she was no longer in her room. She was now back in the forest. She was wearing a tight light purple T-shirt and a long sleeved jean jacket, dark blue jeans and her hair was up in a ponytail. She took her hand and clinged to the side of her waist, 'good my sword is still attached' she thought. 'Now where am I?' The forest was covered in trees, and leaves of orange, red, yellow laid at her feet. The trees around her were dropping them slowly. One by one at a time, each leaf fell slowly. She looked up at the sky and the light from the sun was struggling to get through the canopy of the forest, but the branches gave her shade from the warm sun. She looked around, and then suddenly a low pitched whisper was heard in her right ear.
"They will no longer be." She turned her head in the direction of the noise, nothing, silence. Then a breeze ran through her hair and some of the leaves danced in the wind along with her hair. Something about the air made it uneasy. She then began to breath heavy, as if she couldn't control it, and soon found a sweat drop down her face. "Everything will die…" She then turned her head again and took out her sword quickly and held it up in preparation to fight.
"Who's there?!," she demanded and waited, "I said who's there?!" She stayed silent again.
"Everything will die." Her eyes went wide right away, and the sweat dripped from her face. Then her head turned, she began to hear soft screams. The voices then began to seem familiar, they screamed 'help' and 'no'. She gasped and began to run quickly. She could hear the voices getting louder.
"Everything will die horribly" she ignored them and kept running. Her legs were quick and her breath was completely ignored. The voices became louder. 'NOOO' they cried.
"HELLO!" she cried and kept running, no response. Tree after tree she passed "HELLO!!! IS ANYBODY OUT THERE! PLEASE ANSWER ME!" no response again. Her breath was now becoming intense and her legs became faster.
"Everything and everyone will die. Salvation shall no longer be hope and humans will fall. The Earth, the universe, the galaxy, everything will be destroyed to nothing…" She stopped dead in her tracks. The trees stood all around her, and the leaves soon twisted into a circle around her. Around and around they went creating a wall type thing barrier around her.
"WHO ARE YOU?! ANSWER ME!" silence filled the air. "I SAID ANSWER ME! NOW!"
"Answers will come with the start of a beginning." The leaves stopped going around in a circle and then blew all in one direction and her hair soon followed the direction. Her eyes grew angry and she looked around.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!"
"… Look…" Her eyes gazed around the forest until it focused. Her eyes widen and her pupil decreased greatly in size. She had noticed she was at the end of the forest, the trees laid directly behind her and she now stood in front of an open field. And right in front of her laid four corpuses each one sliced in ways that you couldn't imagine. So much blood had poured around them she couldn't even tell where they were cut. Their eyes laid open, lifeless, dead, staring off into no where.
"TROWA! MARRON! TOMOHOMA!" She looked at them closely. They were slaughtered horribly. She ran over to them quickly and kneeled down by them and her cloths soon began to soak up the blood. Tears began to fall down her face and she just sat there. She then froze and put one hand to her face and whipped the tears away. She then raised her head to the sky. Her eyes were full of rage and hatred and a really really really pissed off look. She placed one hand to the ground and stood up onto her feet. "WHO DID THIS! COME OUT AND SHOW YOURSELF YOU COWARD!" she stood up and pulled out her sword. "WELL COME AND FACE ME! I'LL SLICE YOU IN HALF!" Suddenly a black cloak type thing appeared behind her and hovered in mid air. It was dressed like the grim reaper. His face were covered in the shadows of his hood. She was still unaware of the creature behind her. Her sword laid in her two hands, held up, the blade laid by the side of her face. She stood there trying to concentrate on her surroundings. Her eyes tensed, her hands gripped, and her feet ready any moment. "COME OUT YOU COWARD!"
"Everything will die…" Her eye's and eye brow's shot straight up and she turned around immediately. She stood there starring at him for a few seconds in a trance like state, just starring at him. Her mouth fell open and she became speechless. Then with a second thought her eyes came back into focus and she look at him with a look of death. "WHO ARE YOU!" silence filled her ears "ANSWER ME YOU FREAK! WHO ARE YOU!"
"Genity"
"WHAT?!
"You asked me who I was… I just gave a response to your question. Isn't that what you wanted you human."
"ARGGG ANSWER ME THIS THEN IF YOUR SO SMART! WHY! WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM WITH LIFE? WHY ARE YOU KILLING THOSE WHO ARE INNOCENT PEOPLE? WHY?! TELL ME AND TELL ME NOW AND DON'T YOU DARE GIVE ME A PATHETIC RESPONSE OR I'LL SLICE YOUR HEAD OFF INTO A BLOODY HELL!"
"Time will only tell that response…" Katie's anger went over a limit. Her anger was like a pot of water and Genity had been the fire, but this time he had gone to far and she was now boiling over to put out the fire. She quickly took her sword and slashed it back and forth. Each time he seemed to dodge it by jumping backwards a few feet and landing on his feet. Katie just kept running and trying to hit him, unaware of how blinded by her anger she was.
"WHY! ANSWER ME WHY! TELL ME," she flung her sword once and stabbed the black clocked demon in the chest "NOW!" She looked at him, and he was dead silent "TELL ME NOW!!" He then began to look down, his face still hidden, and it was obvious that he was staring at the sword in his chest. He then grabbed the blade of his sword and yanked it out. She took one good look at the sword, not an ounce of blood, it was as if he had none. Her face tensed and her breath gasped and quickened. Before she could even react a hand came out of the clock and grabbed her neck and 'Genity' flew into the closest tree so her back would slam into it. She screamed in pain, the sounds of the forest were now filled with it, just like the way Trowa, Marron, Tomohoma yells were like. She began to take her hands and try to break out of the struggle but then gasped at the red eyes she saw in the cloak. He then looked at her and grabbed the blade and pointed the sharp end in her direction. Her eyes widen greatly and she began to struggle all she could. It was no use she was pinned no matter how much she tried. Higher and higher the blade went and she just kept struggling. Until about a foot above his head he stopped. She began to try to kick him, but soon the hand that she was being held with was pulled closely to him. And she was now face to face with him, so close that she could smell his breath.
"Everything will die… And I will be the cause…" She then looked up and saw the blade beginning to be rammed into her.
"NOOOOOOOO.."
She slammed her head up and gasped. She looked around and began to feel her chest quickly. There were no stab wounds and she was back in her room.
"A dream.." The moon was still out and full, it was only about three in the morning. Still the dream left her somewhat unsound and she got up from her bed. "It felt so real… So… Why was it like that." She then began to get her cloths on, her light purple shirt, her jean jacket, her pants. She then walked quietly out of her room and walked down the long hallway into the living room. She could practically see nothing, not even her hand when she put it on her face. But she kept close to the wall and suddenly she heard something, it was a crackling shot of thunder. She kept walking and soon found Leon staring out the window into the sky.
"Leon.." He jumped and looked at her. His crystal blue eyes shined in the light of the moon.
"Oh, Katie."
"What are you doing out here?"
"Well I should be asking you the exact same thing."
"Well I really couldn't sleep. So I got up. What about you?" He looked at her and tensed his eyes and then slowly turned to the window into the sky.
"The tension in the air is bothering me. I can feel something is going to happen."
"Like what?"
"Look" The clouds in the air were dark black clouds and they were coming together quickly. Faster and faster they came, obvious an abnormal thing. Giant enormous clouds and soon a lightening bolt could be seen and quicker and quicker they were thrown down.
"What's going on?"
"Hmm…" Leon squinted his eyes and looked tensely at the sky. Then it was obvious that he saw something to Katie because he soon widen his eyes and mouth.
"Leon?"
"Hurry! Wake the others!"
"Leon! What's going on?!"
"NOW!" She didn't ask another question and ran to the back to the rooms. She slammed a door open and ran into the room.
"EVERYBODY WAKE UP NOW!"
"Shut up it's late!" Tomohoma rubbed his eyes.
"EVERYBODY UP NOW LEON SAID SO!" Marron sat up slowly and looked at her with heavy eye lids.
"What?"
"Katie, what's going?" Trowa looked at her and she just shrugged. Soon she was pushed out of the way by Leon who was running in.
"EVERYBODY UP NOW!"
"What's going on?!"
"…… Genity….. He's here." All four of their eyes widen and Trowa, Marron, and Tomohoma jumped up quickly and jumped into their cloths and grabbed their weapons. They then all ran out to the living room and looked out to the sky.
"He's not here yet, but he's close." Leon starred at all of them "Come on we must be prepared." They armed themselves quickly and they all ran outside. Thunder and thousands of lightening bolts slammed to the ground. They stood side by side in a fighting pose prepared. Katie looked tensely at the sky and held her sword close to her. "He will come and he will be prepared, do remember. What ever happens make sure that the future is full of promises that the future asks for. Do this as a request. Just promise me you'll win" Leon said
"Request! What do you mean? Leon your going to be here to see us win so don't have second doubts." Trowa said looking at him Suddenly before any of them could question any further a lightening bolt smashed down to the ground and Genity's form was made by it. He looked at each of them and smirked. 'this will be good' Genity thought
"This is it… We must not lose."
