"Xianghua. . ." the man muttered under his breath. He repeated and repeated her name, but each time he did it only hurt him more and more. How could he have done that? How could he have so cruelly taken away her life? Maybe they could have talked it out - no, she never was one for words, always action. . . perhaps if they destroyed it together - no to that too, she always wanted to be in the lime light and she wouldn't share that spot with anyone, not even Kilik.
It was in this time of great mourning when Kilik found himself wondering about questions. "What was so good about her?" "Did you REALLY love her or was it just false hope?" "What made her so special anyway?". These questions, like an evil swarm, tore his heart apart. He knew the answers to them already. She had been there for him throughout their journeys together, and they had shared the best and worst of times with each other. He had to see her, even if it was the last time.
Kilik arose from where he stooped and looked the small Asian man in the white jacket in the eyes. The eyes seemed familiar to him some how, like he knew this person from somewhere, but where? "Where. . . Who are you two, and what am I doing here?" Kilik asked coldly, without an ounce of emotion in his voice.
"First off, I'm Maxi and this here is Seung Mina" said the man, holding out his hand. Kilik declined the offer. "Fine then. We saw a great light, some 10 miles away, which glared as bright- no brighter than the sun! We headed this way and saw its origin, the great cathedral. By the time we got here, we found you lying unconscious on the floor with blood trickling out the back of your head. Seems like you had a fall, or was knocked back" Maxi said, with an accusing tone in his voice.
"Then we saw what was left of the Soul Edge-"
"You mean its not all destroyed?".
"When we saw the girl Xianghua. . . well, let me put it this way, we had our doubts about what went on up there" and with that Maxi bore his eyes deep into Kilik's as if trying to uncover some truth amidst his dark brown eyes.
"Xianghua! Hang on, how do you know her name so well?"
At this, Maxi's and Mina's face grew dark, and none of them spoke for at least 5 minuites.
"Well? How do you know her name so well? Answer me!" shouted Kilik angrily.
"You just said it didn't you".
"No before that, I was listening in on your conversation and you mentioned her name. How did you come into knowing her name?".
"When we said 'what was left of the Soul Edge'" started Maxi "I don't think we we're quite clear on what we meant".
"When it exploded, we thought that that was it. That it was gone, for good, but as always some bits didn't go".
"How do you mean?".
"Your friend, Xianghua, she isn't dead-".
"WHAT!".
"-Nor is she living. You see, her dead body fused with the fragments of the Soul Edge, creating a vassal of pure evil. So you see, the Xianghua you used to know. . . is no longer Xianghua".
Kilik looked at the girl with disbelief. But he knew deep down, inside his heart, that she was right. He had one thing to do.
"Where's my rod?" asked Kilik firmly.
"It got destroyed during the blast but we have this quarterstaff if its of any use". Kilik took the rod and held it firmly in his hands. He felt along its smooth edge and swung it around, above his head, spinning it anti- clockwise about his body, and the clockwise and then anti-clockwise again before landing into the crouching position.
"I have to go".
"Go where?!" the man asked prominently.
"I have to destroy all of the evil seeds powers. It's the only way I can avenge Xianghua. . . even if it means destroying her again". Kilik had a look set about in his eye. This was the look of a man who knew what he wanted, and is going to stop at nothing until he gets it.
"Then I'm coming with you" said Maxi.
"Why?".
"Because I know you, I swear I do, and I wont rest until I get my memories back and help you avenge your girlfriend".
"Maxi. . . thank you".
"Hey, I'm coming too!" said Mina angrily, thinking that she was going to be left out.
"I cant change your mind, nor am I going to ask you. I'll need all the help I can get".
"Well what are we waiting for? LETS GO!" shouted Maxi eagerly, and with that the party left the Inn and began walking in the direction they felt the evil was coming from the strongest.
"We shall go west, for I feel from there a great evil".
And so they left, without wasting a moments time.
