Chapter 5: Memory restored
Leona turned circles in the darkness unable to see much. " Scare of me?" She challage into the darkness as she looked around. "You have to use your other senses not just sight if you want to find me." Seckmeht called as Leona tried to pinpoint where he was but couldn't. She denpend too much on sight. Seckmeht thought to himself as he wacthed Leona trying to find him.
Then out of the coner of her eye Leona saw Seckmeht's sword, she bought her sword up to block but the block knock her off blance. Leona regain her blance quickly and had to block another blow before Seckmeht faded back into the darkness. Okay I can't see him and he keeps fading into the darkness so I can't see him or hear him but I have to try. She thought to herself.
Leona closed her eyes blocking out what she saw, to hear. It was quiet other then the sound of her breathing, and soemone else's. There! Leona thought and zeroed in on the sound and hit Seckmeht hard in the chest, knocking him back as the lights came back on but then fight wasn't over. "Alright Seckmeht, you asked for it." Leona said and held the sword close to his thoart, Seckmeht looked up at her.
"Battle over?" Leona asked. " Battle over." Seckmeht responsed, Leona nodded and stood up as did Seckmeht but then Leona brought up sword up to block a swipe from Seckmeht. "You remembered." Seckmeht said. "I'm a qiuck learner." Leona answered as Seckmeht sheathed his sword and Leona put her pactice sword up, she looked at the three men leaning aganist the wall wacthing.
"You are getting better."Anubis said, Leona nodded wiping the sweat from her brow. Since their agurement a month ago Leona, Seckmeht, Dais, Cale and Anubis had come to an agreement. Though Leona felt they and Kayura was still keeping something from her Leona did not question, she was allowed a bit more freedom alone and trained with Seckmeht and the other men though Kayura also taught her but that was one on one training.
"Tried?" Seckmeht asked, Leona shook her head. " Not really, normally I'ld be ready to call be quits though." She said. "Your endrence is strenghting, that may be why." Dais said, Leona thought about it and nodded agreeing. "Come on, we been neglecting you teach you how to fighting and disarm with a dagger." Cale said, Leona nodded and went to retreive a dagger.
But Leona stopped looking at the dagger in her hand her mind going to something else. Seckmeht saw the far away look in Leona's eyes mixed with .... *Fear?* Seckmeht thought. "What is it?" he asked, Leona shook her head. "Nothing just thinking about .... nothing. Nevermind." She said shaking her head. "Nightmares again?" Leona sighed and nodded.
"They never stopped and it is getting annoying." Leona confussed, remember the day she took a nap after dinner and woke nearly screaming right when Anubis and the others walked in the room, she had never been so embrassed in her life. "What was it this time?" Cale asked. " Don't worry about it. I believe we have training to do unless you want to set it for a later date." Leona said pruposly in a challaging tone, she wanted to work not dwell on her nightmares.
Cale nodded and the pactice began, Cale showing Leona ways to disarm or attack the opponnent. Then Cale slipped in and out with it, and lock his dagger with Leona's, he froced Leona to release the dagger or having her wrist broken. "How did you do that?" She asked, Cale slowed what happened down and showed Leona what he did.
Leona nodded as patice contuined but then suddenly Leona felt a great pain rip thourgh her and she double over with pain. She was gasping for air, it was extremly hard to breathe. "Leona?" She heard Cale ask as her vison swirled. She heard one of the guys asked her something as streak of pain ripped thourgh her and she felt her knees hit the floor as everything went black.
She looked at the people around, some was screaming, some crying and others was sitting still staring into space. Her heart went to the newcomers knowing the invasion that the Warlords spoke of often had started. She knew the cries and screams would go unanswered as the neter spirits and Talpa fed off the negative engery of the people around her.
Leona was here as a punishment and as a reminder if she was not careful she would be in a wrose place then here, though years ago she wouldn't have believe it she now knew in the Dynasty there was wrose places. She shook her head and walked to a couple she meet and befriended, they was somehow holding out though she wasn't sure how long that would last. She found them easily and sat beside but looked ahead as she spoke.
"Hey, how are you guys?" She asked the black haired couple. "If I said good I'ld be lieing. We've looked for our son but we haven't seen him have you?" The woman asked. "No, my guess is he got luckly, he mange to escape the Dynasty soldiers. Also .... I heard that they are five warriors defying the Dynasty. They have armors like the Warlords but they are fighting and defeating the Warlords in battle." The man smiled at this. "Then there is still hope."He said. "There is alway hope." The woman said.
"I also heard that with the warriors is a woman, tiger and .... a black haired boy around the age of your son. Maybe that is Yuli and he is safe now." Leona said softly to the two as she stood. She sensed him before she heard him, she looked to see a man in sub armor. "Uh oh, here comes trouble." She muttered moving away from the couple. Leona stood her ground as the leader of the Warlords apporched, it was Anubis! Suddenly Leona was standing in darkness again as memories of her time in the Dynasty came back to her .....
As the vison disappered and Leona was aware she was being shaken. "Knock it off! What are you trying to do shake me to death?" She snapped out of suprise from what happen. Dais had a worried expression on his face, as she realized that she was not in the training room any more, but in her bedroom.
Leona felt her stomach slam hard into her. "I think I'm going to be sick." She said rolling off the bed and on to her hands and knees. That made her feel wrose so she lost her lunch and everything else on her stomach. Leona held one hand to her stomach leaning her head aganist the bed, she was aware that the others had also came into the room.
"Are you alright?" Kayura asked and touched Leona's frohead feeling for a fever. Leona jerk back like she had been strung. "I'm fine. Just .... overdid it in training I guess." Leona lied barely keeping her voice normal. "Maybe you should rest then." Kayura said, Leona mange a weak smile. " Good idea." She said as they left.
"Oh, f---ing shit! I am so dead if they find out I know who they are." Leona said standing up and looking around for a way of escape but she saw none. Crusing under her breath Leona sat down thinking. *I will just have to act like I don't know. I go riding with Cale after dinner but instead of riding with him I'll ride away from him, head to the forest and find a way out of here.* Leona thought to herself and began to prepare.
Leona turned circles in the darkness unable to see much. " Scare of me?" She challage into the darkness as she looked around. "You have to use your other senses not just sight if you want to find me." Seckmeht called as Leona tried to pinpoint where he was but couldn't. She denpend too much on sight.
