The Lost Mystics and the Dream Bearer
Chapter 4: Yollani's Sacrifice
By: The Mysterious One
After cleaning up Kasteina's wounds Mia had left some clothes on the bed for the girl to dress up in. When she reentered the room, she was quite surprised to see that the girl was just standing there, her arms tangled up in a bra, her silver hair strung around her distraught face.
When Kasteina looked up at her, silently asking for help with her eyes, all Mia could do was shake her head in incomprehension and help untangle the girl.
These things that the humans call clothes are very odd to me, I don't understand why they have to wear such things, the girl thought, inspecting the garments that now covered her body.
Mia watched Kasteina look over the clothes that she was wearing, acting as if they were foreign objects, She acts as if she doesn't know what clothes are. She didn't even know how to put them on…How strange…
"Rest," she finally said, "I'll be downstairs."
Mia turned and left the girl standing there, watching her leave.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Nica reappeared in the prayer room, watching Yollani as she sat on her knees in the middle.
"It seems that your punishment has been delayed."
Yollani turned her head to peer into the darkness of the room to see the owner of the voice.
"I am most certain that it will be quite severe. My Master has yet to choose what your punishment will be."
"Waking a lost mystic is a great crime," Yollani agreed.
Nica continued to talk, acting as if he hadn't even heard what the girl had said, "I don't see what use Master has for you. You haven't helped us since the last battle on earth against the mystics. Now you've betrayed us. Why he kept you when he knew that you would be disloyal to us is beyond me…"
Yollani sat in silence, just looking up at Nica.
"I have something that might be of some interest to you," he said, lifting his hand, acting as if he was holding onto something. The necklace that was made of the blood of the Unbalancer appeared in his hand.
"You know what this is for don't you?" Nica asked when he saw Yollani's eyes stare at the necklace in recognition.
"Good, perhaps you'll tell me?" He commanded.
"A storm will come, one person, and only one, will be saved by wearing the necklace." Yollani said, her voice blank, as if she was reciting a well known passage from a book.
"A storm? Hmm…"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"How is she?"
"Better," Mia said, "She's resting right now." Shaking her head she added, "But she acts so strange."
"I know," but Cye stopped himself before he said anything about that morning. He knew that those words wanted to come out, but he didn't want to tell any of the others about the embarrassing incident. He kept silent, for Kasteina's sake as well as his own.
"She didn't even know how to dress herself," Mia said.
"She didn't?"
Mia shook her head.
"Okay this is starting to get weird," Kento said.
"That's not all," Cye added, even though he had to agree with his friend's comment, "She has an armor."
This caught everyone's attention.
"What!"
"She has an armor?"
"Woah," Sage said, "let's back up a little bit here. How did you find out that she has an armor?"
Cye told them the entire story, starting at the time when he found the mutated wolf and the girl, up to where he met up with Yulie and Whiteblaze.
Kento let out a low whistle when his friend finished his story, "Wow, not only is the chick hot, but she has an armor too!"
"Kento!"
"Hey it's true," he shrugged in his defense.
"Where did she get it from?" Ryo asked, trying to lead the conversation back in the right direction. "And more importantly, what is her armor for?"
"No clue…" Sage said.
"Ding dong, hello, it doesn't take a genius to figure that one out." Once he had everyone's attention Kento continued, "All you have to do is ask the girl!"
"So he can speak words of wisdom," Cye quickly ducked a playful punch.
Ryo shook his head, smiling, then became serious, "Kento has a point there."
"Hey…where's Rowen?" Yulie asked.
"He's not here?" Sage asked. Then realization dawned on him, "Oh no! He must still be searching for the mutant!"
"Did you see which way he went?" Ryo asked as he stood up.
"I did." Cye spoke up, "He went behind the house."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
After Nica left, Yollani looked up at the ceiling of the prayer room at the circular window that allowed a dim light to stream down upon her.
"Unbalancer…"
At the mentioning of it's name, the strange looking creature appeared, standing a few feet in front of the girl, The necklace must get through to the lost mystic of ice.
"I know, but how?"
There is one who shall give it to her, the Unbalancer replied. He who will take it from you is in the wood at this time. You must bring him here for you know that you cannot leave this place.
"Hum…" Yollani nodded thoughtfully.
I must go…they know of my interference… the form of the Unbalancer looked behind him for an instance, then slowly turned his head to look at her. It's golden eyes seemed to smile sadly at her as they met with hers. You know what will become of you for this…
"Yes…and I am willing to help…no matter what the cost…"
The Unbalancer lowered it's head once in half nod. Farewell, Genki of the Message, and with it's last words said, it disappeared into thin air.
"Farewell, Creature of Mourning and Revenge…"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Mists of darkness seeped through the trees, sucking the very light of day into it's greedy depths. The creatures of the wood suddenly ceased making any noise. They all paused and held their breathes; perking their ears, and straining all their senses as they tried to figure out what the strange darkness was doing as it took over their home.
"What's…going on here?" the blue haired boy asked as he glanced cautiously about him.
"I don't like this…" he frowned when he felt his armor reacting before he continued to walk onwards warily. He knew that he couldn't figure out what was causing the sudden darkness without waiting for him to come to the cause, or let it come to him.
It didn't help him any when his armor was sending him mixed messages, telling him that the presence he was feeling was both good and bad at the same time. He couldn't sort through them to find out and he felt uneasy about this confusion.
The trees around him were rapidly vanishing from sight, and before he knew it, he was walking in nothing but pure darkness.
"Where are you?" Rowen called out, "What do you want with me?"
He got no reply.
Ahead of him he could make out the soft glow of two candles on either side of a darkened wall that he knew hadn't been there before. He didn't understand why he allowed himself to follow the silent command to walk towards the two candles, but he did it any way.
Rowen grew agitated as he felt the presence become stronger with each step. He knew that it wouldn't be long before he would met up with the one who had called him to this place.
"Tenku…"
He came to a stop and looked at the little brown haired girl who had spoken the name of his armor in Japanese, "Who are you?"
"Hon'in gozen Yollani. Nanitozo, nain osure touhou, hon'in gozen oite goshujin saido, taishite hon'in nimo ganmou dzuki nozoite sono ningenkai." She showed him the necklace in her hands as she continued to talk in Japanese, "Temae beki teiku kono dzuki sono ichi izure rita-n bujini dzuki sono Koji katei."
(Tranlated into English: I am Yollani. Please, no fear me , I am on your side, for I too wish to save the human world. You must take this to the one who return safely to the Koji household.)
Rowen was surprised at the girl's fluent Japanese, but he didn't comment on it. "What do you mean? I don't understand. Who are you talking about?"
"Just take it," Yollani spoke in English. "You will know who and what it is for in due time."
The blue haired boy wasn't sure if he should trust her. His armor was telling him that the air around him reeked with evil, but the girl herself did not. Even though he knew from his armor that he didn't have anything to fear from Yollani, he still wasn't sure if he should trust her.
"Nanitozo," she pleaded, "Your enemy's ways are swift and they shall soon be here. Go the way you've come, and you shall return to the human world."
Sure enough, the presence of evil was growing, and his armor was sending off warnings of danger like crazy.
"Go!"
After a few seconds of hesitation he took the necklace from her and did what Yollani had instructed him to do.
Rowen didn't even notice that the darkness that had once surrounded him had withered away into wisps of nothingness behind him. The trees reappeared once again, as well as the light of day.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Yollani smiled as she watched the boy disappear down the darkened hallway, "Good luck to all of you…The enemy that you are about to meet shall be harder than anything you've ever faced before. I hope you will be able to defeat them…I know that I will not be able to help you any more than I already have…"
"You have greatly disappointed me," Nica's voice came from behind her. "But I suspected more treachery to come out of you."
The girl turned around and faced her master, "You knew that I would go against you."
"Yes. I am surprised that my Master didn't fully listen to me when I warned him about what would come of you…Perhaps he wanted the lost mystics to come out of hiding so that he could kill them."
"This could be…but he knows that if they all come together, they will defeat him as they did all those years ago."
"They defeated him, but they didn't kill him," Nica sneered. "He has become much more powerful since the last assault upon the mortal realm. He will easily crush them. Now, it's time for you to die. For I know that this is what will come of you for your betrayal."
Yollani bowed her head, silently accepting what her fate was, "I know what is to come, and you shall see what will be and what won't."
Author's Note: Yollani and the Unbalancer know of the Ronin Warrior armors. Just thought I'd tell ya'lls that incase you got confused. Oh and before you ask, no I don't know Japanese, I got it off of a translating site. One last thing, the other strange words that you didn't under stand on the earlier chapters aren't Japanese, they are from a made up language of mine.
