Chapter 6: Icefire
It wasn't long after the attack when Cye was sitting in the living room his hung in thought but then an idea came to him. "Sekmeht you said once that you can absorb venom and types of poison didn't you?" Cye asked, Sekmeht nodded thinking. "Then could you do the same thing with Kaila's poison?" Cye asked hopefully. "I don't know I not sure what kind of poison it is. It may just be too late already Cye." Sekmeht said but he and Sage went upstairs. " Sage, I think I should use an injection on her to knock her out. If she is awake she may make it harder to withdraw the poison, I know for a fact it very painful and most people can't handle it." Sekmeht said to Sage as they stepped in my room.
"No." I said I didn't like the idea of Sekmeht helping me or using an injection to knock me out with. "Serena stop being so stubborn." Sage said but I wasn't listening. "Serena I know you don't like him but it is the only way. Please Serenea." I sighed at Sage's request and nodded letting Sekmeht use the injection on me. "Will she be all right?' was the first thing that came out of Cye's mouth after Sage and Sekmeht walked in to the living room. "I'm not sure, that poison isn't normal, they planed this. Knowing if she survives the encounter with Kaila, the poison could kill her. There seems to be a block stopping us from healing her completely and she is too weak to heal herself." Sage admitted to Cye.
"But why? She's no threat to the Dynasty!" Yuli said he had come in when the guys brought me in and was told what happen. Since Yuli's real parents were never found Mia took Yuli in as her adopted son and Yuli was more attached to the guys then before. "It doesn't matter. She is Cye's sister and that is enough of a reason to kill her." Kayura said coming in the living room with Mia and Dais. "You make it sound like I'm about to drop dead." A voice said quietly from the stairs. " What the? Serena! You shouldn't be up!" Cye said furiously and tried to get me to go back upstairs. There no way she can be up. I used enough sedative to knock her for the rest of the day. Sekmeht thought to himself. "Cye leave me alone! I'm alright." I insisted waving my brother's hands away but garbed on to the wall to keep myself standing. I knew what I had to do to at least keep me standing; I closed my eyes lightly and concentrated. I could feel the energy in the room but focused on mine. Then I found myself in the same place I would end up when I slept.
"Good to see you still living." I heard a familiar voice say. I turned to the same five people but then I saw who they really was now they I could see them clearly. " Kayura? Cale? Dais? Sekmeht? Anubis? I can't believe it, that is why you seemed so familiar." They laughed slightly. "Yes but we aren't exactly the same. We are your friend sub conscience forms, we are unknown to your friends and soon it will be the same way with you." " What do you mean Kayura?" Kayura held up what looked like a large marble but I knew better. "A kanji orb! But who does it belong to?" "It belongs to you. Serena of Icefire, Ronin of Spirit." I took a step back, shaking my head. "There's got to be someone better. I'm no fighter Kayura." "Yes you are you just need to be trained correctly. The Ronins can do that, do you accept this duty Serenea?" Anubis asked I looked at the kanji orb thinking.
"Yes I do." Kayura handed me the armor orb it was warm to the touch and I felt that warmth throughout my body, my strength had returned. "Your armor has healed you where Sage and Sekmeht couldn't. You see Acro didn't know that you were the bearer of the armor or he would have tried to get you to serve the Dynasty. Your armor is connected to the warlords armors because they was made from the same origin; the origin of the Ronin's armors. Each armor has a connection to a Ronin armor. Now we will return you, you will have your armor but you will not remember us." Dais said seeing the look on my face. "Then how am suppose to explain this?" " Don't worry once Kayura sees the armor she will know about that you are the bearer of this armor and must be trained to use it." Cale assured me but I was still worried.... then I opened my eyes and saw the stares of surprise of my armor appearing on me.
The armor looked a lot like Ryo's but the shoulder blades was smaller, less bulky, there was daggers built in at the wrists of the armor and it was violet where it was red on the armor of Wildfire, then it went to a kanji orb. "Serena how?" Rowen asked. "I have no idea." Then a fit of dizzy caught me but someone grabbed my arm to steady me. He's cute. I thought but I blushed at the thought. "What is that? The third time you saved me Ryo?" I asked trying to sound causal but I turned redder at the remark Kento made about Ryo moving to catch me to Anubis. "No problem, what are friends for?" Ryo said as I steady myself. "The armor of Icefire, no wonder I felt you had a powerful aura around you. It was your healing ability and the armor." Kayura said Cye nodded. " That is the name of this armor? But I thought there was only ten armor counting the armor of Inferno." "There is but this armor seems to be made for battling the Dynasty but I only heard of it name nothing else." "Oh? Do you think it has anything to do with the new warlord's armors?" I asked. " I'm not sure Serena. Maybe Mia can see if she examine the armor." Mia's eyes light up at the thought of it.
"Why do I have the feeling I have to go with the armor?" I asked myself as both Kayura and Mia herded me to the study. Two hours later the guys was sparing when Dais saw a small figure sneak out of the window he came up behind the figure taking her by surprise. "Don't do that!" I said to Dais trying to calm my heartbeat after he startled me. "Why were you sneaking away?" "I was trying to escape Mia and her questions. I don't know a thing about this armor and she puts me in interrogation about it." I said. "Then try to find out. Use your armor." He said but shook my head. "You guys may have known about your armors when you got them but I don't and Mia can't find anything on this armor." I said. "You know how to fight don't you?" Cale asked. "Of course I do." "Then fight one of us with your armor and maybe it can help." Cale said but Kayura came to where we was and interrupted. "First thing first Serena. You need to learn to call on and call off your armor. I will help, come with me." I followed Kayura obediently I trusted Kayura more then I trusted some of the guys.
Meanwhile.... "What! You mean to tell me that she is a Ronin and she still lives!" Arco asked one of his spies. " Yes sir. Inside the house I saw her armor come forth. But she don't seem to know how to control her armor completely." Arco pondered this new development. So the child does have the armor. But a girl at such a young age, hmmm she may be too close to the Ronins to come willing but I will find a way. " Watch her, her armor is all I need now."
"Focus Serena." Kayura said. Okay focus Serena, I have got to do this! "Armor of Icefire! Power of Spirit!" I called then my vision went purple and white, I saw tapestries come out of no where and when they touch my sub armor they from my full battle armor, and I knew this was only taking seconds. "Very good. Now concentrate on powering down to sub armor." Kayura instructed, I did as told and a few seconds later was in my sub armor. "Kayura when I armored up I felt like I was being drain of my energy. Is that supposed to happen?" I asked sitting down for a moment. "The first few times you armor up you will feel that way but after awhile it will be second nature to you." Kayura explained. "I hope so." I muttered to myself but then I thought about the task ahead. "Kayura what are Dais's and Cale's armors based on? Wasn't it darkness and illusion?" "Dais uses illusion and Cale uses darkness. Why?"
"I'm not going to fight Cye or Ryo because Cye is my brother and Ryo is the leader and has fighting knowledge I don't so I won't have much of a chance. And I don't want to fight Sage, Rowen or Kento because they might go easy on me or Cye would kill them for not. I have a feeling the Seasonals warrior won't, I'm not a strong enough fighter to battle Anubis, Dais would use illusions and Sekmeht ... well he did help save my life and I done been poisoned one time this week. So Cale is about the only one I can fight and have a fair chance of winning." "You seem to know how to pick your fights." Kayura said sounding as if she was a bit proud of the fact I worked it out by myself. "Nope I don't. But I was always taught to know your enemies and allies. One of the things my father taught me." I said the last part with spite and anger in my voice. "Come on lets go he guys will be waiting." I said seeing Kayura was going to ask me something about my father but I avoided the question setting my mind to tommorw, knowing that tomorrow I would fight Cale.
It wasn't long after the attack when Cye was sitting in the living room his hung in thought but then an idea came to him. "Sekmeht you said once that you can absorb venom and types of poison didn't you?" Cye asked, Sekmeht nodded thinking. "Then could you do the same thing with Kaila's poison?" Cye asked hopefully.

"But why? She's no threat to the Dynasty!" Yuli said he had come in when the guys brought me in and was told what happen. Since Yuli's real parents were never found Mia took Yuli in as her adopted son and Yuli was more attached to the guys then before. "It doesn't matter. She is Cye's sister and that is enough of a reason to kill her." Kayura said coming in the living room with Mia and Dais. "You make it sound like I'm about to drop dead."
