Chapter 3 - Meeting
'Who is calling me? Who is out there?' the figure within the crystal beginning
to finally awaken only to find himself trapped. Tapping into his powers he was
able to see the events unfolding in front and around him.
'Who is this girl?' His anger rose as he watched the girl helpless try to defend
herself from the dark warlord. He fought to break free of his crystal prison.
"Sage!"
That was it. The crystal prison shattered casting light in all directions to reveal
the Ronin of light. His green subarmor letting off a soft glow. His blond hair hung
over one of his violet eyes as he glared at Sekhmet.
"What!" Sekhmet glare back angrily at the Ronin he had wanted to destroy before he
has awaken.
"That will be enough." Sage moved to stand in front of Mia preparing to defend himself
and the girl.
"So Ronin you've woken up. Well don't get to use to it. I've taken care of the girl
and now it's your turn!" he lunged forward in fury sword drawn and slashing.
Sage dodged quickly looking back to make sure the girl was alright ,but Sekhmet had his
attention on him so the girl would be ok for now. "Sorry but I have other plans. Armor
of Halo!"
He called forth his gleaming green armor holding his no-dachi in his hands he blocks Sekhmet's
next attack. He struggled to keep the warlord away the venom from his sword dripping onto his
armor.
'How am I going to get rid of this guy.... must be some way..' His violet eyes darted about
looking around for perhaps a way to end this as he struggled to defend himself ,but was
finding himself being pushed back towards the rock walls.
Both stop when the flapping of wings echo through the cave.
"What?"
"What are you trying to pull Ronin!" Sekhmet angrily demanded looking around for the source
of the loud sound.
A voice whispered close to Sage's ear "Go ahead now Sage."
Sage looked back to see where the voice was coming from but found no one. He turned back to
Sekhmet glaring noticing he was still distracted by the sound that kept changing directions.
His no-dachi began to give off a bright glow as he gathered his strength and power to yell
"Lightning Cut!" he swung the sword sending it at Sekhmet who whipped around in time only
to watch it come at him. He gave off a surprised yell before disappearing before he could be
destroyed.
Sage struggled for breath after sending such a blast ,his armor fading away to the subarmor.
Sweat dripping down his face. 'Well that was a close one. Now where did that voice come from?'
He looked about but all he found was the girl still laying where she had fallen. He made his
way towards her kneeling down beside her figure. He lifted her form to lean against him ,holding
her chin with a hand studying her profile. So concerned on figuring out just who this girl was
he failed to see the small pool of blood just under her arm.
'Who is this girl? Why in the world is she here and how did she know my name?'
Questions only she could answer. He lifted her up slowly setting her head on his shoulder. Just
as he was leaving he noticed something on the ground. He approached the object kneeling down
slowly struggling to keep her steady with one arm while picking up the sword. He shifted his
hold in order to hold both and then proceeded to make his way out.
After awhile he finally made it out of the darkness and into the light ,his steps steady and
hold firm. Mia still had yet to awaken ,but Sage could still feel her breath softly at his neck.
He noticed the jeep not far off and made his way over to it assuming it was hers. As soon as he
made it to it he dropped the sword and then searched for a spot tp set down the girl.
A grassy spot not far from the jeep seemed like the spot to put her. He made his way over and
gently set her down beginning to study her again.
Her hair was tossed ,but still held in the ponytail. Her skin was pale ,but perhaps that was
normal for her. Her figure was slim and she didn't look all that old. 'What in the world is
she doing out here.' He hated when questions weighted on his mind. He sat down beside her and
just stared at her awaiting her to wake up. He wasn't sure what to do ,but believed that fresh
air would help clean the poison from her lungs. After awhile he sunk into meditation beside
her until he was snapped out of it by a soft groan from beside him. He slowly opened his eyes
to lock onto bright yet weak looking jade ones. She kept his intense gaze ,and was the first
to break the silence.
"So your one of them."
Her voice sounded strainned and painfilled. Sage stared at her and after a few minutes nodded
assuming she was asking if he was a Ronin Warrior.
Mia slowly closed her eyes , Sage wishing she would leave them open. She surprised him by
attempting to sit up already ,but it was Mia who was the most surprise when this total
stranger reached out to help her. She stared at his hand that was holding hers to help her up
and could feel his other hand on her lower back.He moved his hands away slowly when he noticed
the small blush appearing on her cheeks.
"Thank you. My name is Mia" Her voice suddenly taking on a desperade edge. "We really need your
help! Talpa is attacking and my grandfather sent me to find the Ronin warriors."
'Well that answers some of my questions.' "I'm Sage of Halo. What does your grandfather have to
do with all of this?"
Mia went silent for a bit before responding "I really don't know. He's a professor at the
university in town and I'm just a high school graduate." Her eyes showed her worry even while
she tried to hide it.
Sage watched her silently and nodded ,deciding not to push her further in her state by asking
more questions he just stared at her getting up to stand beside her.
His intense stare with his one visable eye made her feel slightly uneasy ,but she refused to
let on.
"Well I think we should leave before something bad happens...."
He just nodded once more and moved to help her up. She took his hand when it was offered. Sage
proceeded to help her up ,but stop suddenly as she gave a yell. He then noticed the cut down
her upper arm, looking at her closed eyes that had closed due to the pain at now seeing the
cut. He got up leaving her sitting there to go to the Jeep attempting to find something to bind
the wound. Turning to make his way back after not being able to find anything he heard the
ripping of material and rushed over to her,only to watch as she ripped a strip off the bottem
of her shirt with some difficulty. She let her wounded arm drop and attempted to bandage it with
the strip of material. Noticing she couldn't without help, he moved forward and bandaged the cut
with the strip of material. He shook his head a bit and remarked
"Your quite resourcefull."
Mia nodded and with Sage's help was able to stand up ,leaning against him to approach the Jeep.
He helped her inside and watched her slump into the drivers seat breathing hard because of pain
ripping through her arm. Climbing into the passengers side ,he stared at her and remarked with
a slightly harsh tone
"Your in no condition to drive."
Mia opened her eyes and let out a sigh. She replied "I have no choice."
Her words shocked him at the sadness her tone dripped of. He remained quiet for quite some time,
closing his eyes to dive into his own thoughts. She looked over at him and attempted to gain her
composure ,but had a rough time due to her fatigue. She could feel something was wrong.... she
just wasn't sure what. The darkness of night was beginning to fall ,but still she could not
collect herself enough to start the jeep. Sage still hadn't spoken in the longest time. Mia
let her forehead drop to the steering wheel as she reached slowly to start the vehicle. Sage's
hand grabbed her wrist even before she could turn the key. She lifted her head to look at him
with green eyes. He held her wrist carefully and slowly opened his eyes to remark
"Let's just rest. We can move on in the morning."
With that he let go of her wrist. Nodding to her, he left the jeep to walk into the forest not
far off.
Mia held her wrist with her other hand staring after Sage. She looked down to her wrist confused.
Suddenly a bad feeling washed over her and caused her to fling her door open as she ran after
him into the darkness.
Hmmm this is probably my longest chapter. Hope you guys enjoyed it! My grammer is terrible ,but
I hope it's not that bad. Please review I love getting them! I'm soo happy with my 20 reviews!
Thanks guys! See you guys next chapter! I've been really busy lately ,but I'll try my hardest
to get the next chapters out!
I graduate this year ,but now I have a day off from school nearly every week now for the
