Chapter 19: Follow the white wolf
When we arrive the others was already in there and looks slighty suprised to see the two of us together. Kento starts to say something but a look from Ryo shut him up. Ryo noticed that Kayura and Harry were at the head of the table, with the rest of the team spread out around it. "Glad that the two of you could make it." Harry said, as he spread a map out over the table. On it Ryo could see where a series of portals were laid out. " Kayura and I have been busy trying to figure out where the Dynasty might strike, so we created this map. We're going to install some mystic devices that will alert us if the Dynasty shows up at any of these sights. That way we can move quickly to stop them if and when that happens." he stated.
"Will we also uses those portals for our attacks?" I asked Kaurya. "If nessecarry. Our main goal will be to use them to stop the Dynasty, and perhaps follow them in, and destroy any bases that they have in that area," she said. "We still plan on using hit and run tactics overall, we are just going to use these portals to give the Dynasty headaches when they try and invade Japan." Harry said. But what if they attack in other countries? I asked myself remebering the attack on the orpharnage.
Ryo saw the look in my eyes, and took a look at both Harry and me. "What if the Dynasty goes after other lands?" he asked. Harry nodded his head. "I've already got the United States covered. A while back, a friend of mine set up a network for information exchange, and he has agreed to use it to help us out if the Dynasty attacks there." I made a mental note to thank Ryo. I studied the map for a few moment the only portals in Japan I was that really worried me was one a mile from here, one not far from Mia's home and another near Tomaya.
"Also, he has made contact with people in other lands. They will set up networks of their own, so that if the Dynasty tries anything, anywhere else, we will be ready for them." said Harry. I nodded. Good we just needed to cream the Dynasty and go back to living .... as normal as we Ronins get. I thought to myself but even I knew it wasn't that simple. "Any questions on what we have set up so far?" asked Harry. Kento raised his hand. "I have one question. When do we eat? I'm starving." he said, bringing a chuckle from the group. " Is there anything you think about but food, human garbage disposal?" I asked rolling my eyes.
That got a chukkle from the Seasonals. "Hey! I resent that remark!" Kento said, with a smile on his face. "Kento, when was the last time you thought about anything but food?" asked Cye. "About 2 days ago, when I was looking a good looking lady." he replied. " Okay now I'm sick." I said to myself making sure the others didn't heard me, Sage just shook his head. "Kento, all you ever think about is food, girls and fighting." he said. "So sue me, I'm a normal kid." he answered. "Yeah, one with mystical armor." replied Harry, which got a laugh out of everybody. Then my stomach growled, I turned beat red at Kento's laughing at me for it. " You're a dead man Kento." I growled, Cye stopped laughing, as he headed toward the area that had been designated as the Kitchen. "Just hold on a little while longer, people and dinner will be served." he said. I gave Kento my I'll - kill - you - later look and walked outside to see the sunsetting.
As I went outside, I felt a familiar presence beside me. Turning, I saw that it was Harry. "Penny for your thoughts." he said, as he looked out toward the sunset, I smiled. "It nothing. I was just wondering how things are back on the streets if anyone misses me." I said wacthing the sunset. Harry nodded. "I know what you mean. Sometimes, I miss being out there, trying to save one or two lives out of all those out there. But if we don't win this war Serenea, we won't have anyone on the streets to help out. They'll all be either dead or working for the Dynasty." he said, with a sigh coming out of his mouth. I frowned and nodded then another thought came to me as unpleasnt as what would happen if we lose. " And I was wondering if Mr. Mouri is alive." I said, he was my father but his hate for me has got me to call him by his name not father. He had disappered years ago and I was sent to the opharnage.
"There's no telling Serenea. I don't have the access to those records, and I'm not the best hacker in the world. What we really need to do is get some training in tomorrow morning, so that we can be ready to handle whatever the Dynasty might throw at us." he said, already taking on the role of advisor that he had done for so long while working on the streets. I smiled at my friend. You been more of a father to me. I hope you know that, you been like a father to so many, even those that had no money and no real home. I started to walk to the " kicten" to see if food was ready, Harry turned and smiled at me. I just wish that I had better words to tell you how much of a daughter that you have been to me. Sometimes I just have trouble finding the right words to say to people. he thought as he followed me to the "kitchen" area.
"Kento! Get out of here!" Harry and I heard Cye yell at Kento. "Never a dull moment." Harry chuckled at the remark. He had seen Kento in action, so he knew what Cye was doing. "You think we should go help Cye before Kento eats all the food?" I asked Harry hearing Cye trying to get Kento away from the food. "At the very least, we should try and keep Kento away from the food before he tries to eat it all." said Harry, with a humorous look to his face. "Yep where is Dais? He can hang Kento out untill the food ready." I said giving Harry my own humorous smile. As if by magic, the Ronin of Illusion appeared beside us. "Leave Hardrock to me. I'll keep him chasing shadows until dinner is ready." he said, smiling that mischevious smile of his that said he was going to have some fun, I shook my head. "Why do those guys keep appering out of nowhere? Don't they know how that creep people out? Oh well you want to go see what Dais has instore for Kento?"
Before Harry could respond, Dais had Kento going round and round the room, as if he was trying to grab something that kept slipping out of his grasp. Kento was so absorbed in it, that he didn't realize that Dais was laughing it up! I rolled my eyes not even wanting to know what Dais made a illusion. "That is so childlish." I said maybe a little too loud. "But, if we don't act a little childish now and then, what was the use of being a child?" responded an amused Dais.
By that time, dinner was ready. Cye announced it for one and all to hear, and Dais released the illusion, to Kento's chagrin. "Why do I keep falling for those tricks of yours?" he moaned. "Because you don't use your mind. If you put as much effort into developing your brain as your stomach, you would be a much better warrior." Dais responded as he headed for the kitchen. I shook my head and went into eat dinner. Here we go agian. Sage thought knowing what would come next.
Kento was incensed by the remark. "If you think that you're so much better than me, lets prove it tomorrow morning in a practice session." he roared. Dais just shook his head. "Fine. Tomorrow morning it will be." he said in a calm manner. Harry just shook his head. " Something tells me that Kento has just bitten off more than he can chew." he said to himself, as he allowed me to go ahead of him. " Don't bet on it, remember Kento beat Dais many times in the Dynasty Wars and he can do it again." I said coming to my friend's defense as Harry and I sat down to dinner.
After dinner we trained, worked on the map or did something else. I walked at the edge of the temple grounds by myself checking things out. But then I sensed I wasn't alone just then a pure white wolf stepped out of the woods. I've got to be seeing things! Wolves don't live in Japan and if they do white one don't! I thought but the wolf apporched me. "Uh oh. Good wolf, nice wolf, please don't bite me." I said to it and started to back away. The wolf stoped and for a moment I have swore I saw armor on it and then as sudden as it appered it ran into the woods. I took and step back and bumped into someone.
It was Rowen I walked right back into him. "Hey wacth out Serenea, you almost hit me." He said then seeing I was as white as a ghost asked. "You okay?" "Yea I'm fine." I said something told me the wolf was not a illusion or a haulltion it was real and it had a reason to be there, so I didn't tell Rowen this. "Serenea, is there something that you're not telling me that scared you?" he asked. " No I just .... heard something I thought it was the Dynasty but it was just some animal." I said not competley lieing. "Well, don't worry. Most of the animals around here won't cause you any harm. I just came out to try and do some star gazing.Would you care to join me?" offered Rowen.
"Sure. But I've never star grazed before." I wraned. "It's easy." he said. He worked with me, carefully pointing out different constellations, and explaing not only the magnitude of the stars, but the legends behind some of the constellations. By the time the session was over, it was well after midnight. I yawned slighty and gave Rowen a look smiling. "Is this why we can never wake you up in the morings?"
Rowen looked at me with a grin. "Yes, that is the main reason you guys have to resort to such drastic measures to wake me up in the morning. Add to that, the fact that my blood pressure sometimes drops rather low, and you can see why I have trouble getting up in the mornings." he said in a friendly voice. I nodded remembering when Kento and I woke him up." Are you still sore at me for dorping you into the shower?" I asked. "If you and the others are going to train in the morning, perhaps we should turn in now." he said. As we headed in, he looked at me and said. "I know that you and some of the others dropped me in the shower once. I don't hold that against you. You were doing what you had to do to wake me up. No hard feelings." he said as we reached the temple. I sighed relived. " Good. Well goodnight Rowen." I said to the blue haired Ronin. "Good night Serenea." he said. Rowen headed toward one of the rooms that he shared with Sage and Kento. Harry and Ryo, along with White Blaze and Anubis shared another room. A third room was occupied by the unlikely trio of Sheckmet, Dais and Cale. Kayura and I shared a room with Mia and Yuli.
As I slept, I saw the white wolf in a dream, it trying to get me to follow it someplace. And I also saw two unusal looking swords, covered with ice and snowflake designs near a mound. But then I was awaken by someone shaking me. " Yuli? What are you doing, why aren't you asleep?" I asked him, then I saw why by how he was hold my bracelet. " Bad dream?" I asked, he nodded his head. " I saw you fighting the Dynasty, the rest of the team was loosing, and you had me use the bracelet, but it didn't work and ..." At that point he started crying. I held him in my arms, knowing how worried he was about me and the rest of the team, I thought for a moment. " Well I know just what to do then." Before I could tell Yuli anything, a gong was heard throughout the complex. "OK sleepyheads! Breakfast is now served!" called out Cye. Everyone got up quickly and hurried in to get a bite of the first meal of the day. "I'll tell you later." I said but when he left I dorp my head back onto the pillow and fell alseep.
As I slept, I saw a familiar figure in the dream: A man wearing a monks robe, with a straw hat and carrying a staff. "Serenea of Icefire, the time is fast approaching when you will have to take up the power of the Blizzard armor. Follow the white wolf the next time she shows up: She will take you to the next piece that you need for your armor." said the vision. "How?" I asked then another thought came to me more improtant. "Ancient One what Yuli saw was it what will happen?" I asked. "Only if you do not accept the Blizzard armor Serenea. The power of that armor is yours to use, but you must learn when and where to summon it. That will come in time, my child. But for now, follow the white wolf when he returns." said the vision of the Ancient as it faded from sight. " No choice I have to appect the armor when it comes. But will cost it me everything?" I asked myself. "Follow the wolf Serenea." came the voice as I awoke on my pillow in the temple. I quickly got ready and got some breakfast, as I wondered what the Ancient meant when he showed me the wolf and the swords.
