Chapter 7: Identities Revealed

The two girls gasped at what they saw. The man had taken off his hooded face, and now stared into their eyes with a blank look.

Shantei was the first to recover. "Aren't you dead!" she asked practically screaming.

He stared at her with blank emotionless eyes. "Yes, I am. Didn't I tell you I was a ghost?" he told her lifting an eyebrow.

Her face paled and she took her daggers away. "Aya. put your weapon down. He won't hurt us," she said to her trembling friend.

"Fine, but if you make one move I won't hesitate to hurt you!" Aya spat giving him a glaring stare.

"As you wish."

Shantei held out her hand, "well. since you're here, why don't you introduce yourself, I'm Shantei and this is Aya, you?"

He bowed his head slightly. "I am Lavitz Slambert. I was a Knight here once, and commanded the first knighthood. I died saving my king, and now I have returned to guide the ones who can destroy the evil that has been gathering up in this land." he shook Shantei's hand.

Shantei lifted an eyebrow, "hey aren't you dead, dead people are see though and you can put a hand though them! Why aren't you like that?" she asked him curiously.

He looked at her then to the window. "You'll find out soon enough. We have to leave now, or we won't have any time left to get to Lohan. I'll be accompanying you there."

Aya's eye twitched. "W-what! A-a ghost travelling with us! Shantei please we don't have ta go with this guy! Please he scares me!" she cried, practically begging.

"I'll follow you no matter what. you can't stop me."

She stared at the man clad in robes, and held up her weapon again, " if you are coming, I suggest you stay in front of me!"

"Very well, I can see you don't trust me yet, so I'll wait to gain that trust," he told Aya while walking back to the window.

Shantei cast a questioning glance at Lavitz. "What are you doing?" she asked watching him climb up on the railing, balancing perfectly.

"I'm leaving the way I came in, shall we go?" he asked putting a hand to them.

Aya shook her head. "Nuh-uh! Your never gonna make me jump of a building! I can't fly!" she said clinging to the bedpost.

Shantei shook her head at Aya. "Come on, don't be such a scardy cat! I'm going, if this is what I have to do to achieve my destiny!" she said jumping into Lavitz's left arm.

"Aya? You have to trust me just this once, please?" he said as he cast her a pleading look.

Reluctantly, Aya walked over to Lavitz's other arm and pulled herself into his grip. "Alright! I'll trust you. just don't drop me, please?" she said tightening her grip on his sleeve.

"Alright, hold on, and don't scream." He jumped of the railing.

Shantei was acting as if she was flying in the clouds. Lavitz had kept a good grip on the girls as he floated to the ground. Aya had her eyes closed the entire time, and also had a vice-grip around his neck, which didn't bother him because he was already dead.

Lavitz's foot landed softly on the stone floor without a sound, he let the girls go and walked a little in front of them.

Shantei looked around. "It's over already?" she asked questionably.

He turned around and looked at her with his emotionless eyes. "Yes, now can we get going?" he began walking in the direction of the town entrance.

Aya stared in shock. He didn't drop her, and she was still in one piece. This Lavitz guy must have been really cool in his alive years.

The girls walked along side Lavitz, Shantei who was closer asked, "how long have you been dead?"

He slightly turned his olive eyes at her. He replied, " 6 years. going on 7, why?" he said casting a glance at her.

Shantei looked down to the ground. "Well, it's just my dad and mom and also King Albert said they lost a friend a few years back. was that you? Did you know my daddy?"

Lavitz closed his eyes, thinking. It had been too long since he last saw his old friends in Mayfil. Zachwell had possessed him into attacking them, but in the end, Dart and the others saved him, and released his soul.

He reopened them again, and looked at Shantei. "Yes. I was that person. Also, I did know your father, he saved my life a few times as well," he looked back in front of him.

'Should I really be helping these little children? Aren't they a little to young to protect the world from the upcoming evil? Maybe. maybe, they will become stronger if I teach them. NO! I can't, I'm. a ghost.' He thought.

Aya, who had been silent the whole time stared in front of her. She wanted to trust this man, but trusting a ghost is hard, they could kill you at any moment. 'Maybe I could give him a chance.' she thought to herself.

: NIGHTFALL:

The group now rested in a clearing by the river, close to Lohan, and a few miles from Hoax. It was 12:00 midnight, and everyone except Lavitz and Aya were sleeping.

He had his eyes on the fire, the flames reflecting in them. Lavitz was remembering what Soa had told him.

: Flashback:

"Are you sure? They're just little kids!" he pronounced to the goddess.

Soa turned her head slightly to her Knight. "Please do this for me. if you cannot find them, the world will be a stake again. you must go on this search, even if they are children. Please Sir Lavitz?" she said casting pleading eyes on him.

Lavitz bowed his head. "Yes m'lady. I'll do what you ask." He turned to leave, but Soa's voice stopped him.

"I'll give you this gift. a gift letting you take solid from, and also your ghost form. it will hurt at first but the pain will go away as you continue in yours and the children's journey." She lifted her hand to his forehead emanating a light from her palm.

: End Flashback:

Lavitz grabbed his chest groaning slightly. "Ugh. I have to be able to endure this pain." he said shaking slightly from the pain the scar on his chest was giving him.

"You okay?" a small voice said quietly from the other side of the fire.

Lavitz lifted his head quickly. "Aya! You should be asleep, not awake," he told her giving her a cold stare.

Her eyes filled with concern as she watched him rub his sore chest to get rid of the pain. She didn't kno a ghost could have pain, but it looked like she was wrong.

"Are you sure you don't nee any help? I mean with that pain of yours?" she asked concerned.

Lavitz looked at her again. "I don't need your help. you should get rest, you'll need your strength tomorrow." he said to her though the fire.

Aya nodded, and lied down in the makeshift bed. "Goodnight then." she said getting a surprised glance from the man across from her.

Lavitz's eyes widened as he watched Aya fall asleep, 'did she just take my trust?' he thought. He lowered his head and stared at the fire again. 'Maybe. I can't do this alone.'

Slowly his eyes closed, but his sense of hearing still sharpened. He drifted off to sleep like Shantei and Aya before him. 'Maybe, we can do this,' was all he thought before he landed into darkness.

YEEHA! Alright! Lavitz is alive. we not technically but alive enough for me! WHAHHA! Ahem, well I hope you liked this chapter, more are still on their way, so please just READ AND REVIEW! And I'll continue on.

Lavitz: What the hell?
