Chapter 6: Bolt!
"Are you sure you feel well enough to go riding?" Leona nodded. "Sure anyway, fresh air will do me some good." Leona said with a fake smile, Cale nodded and led the way to the stable. "You can uses this one, we got her on a ra ..... I mean, we got her a few years back, she is spirited but I don't think she will give you trouble." Leona nodded pretending not to hear the near slip.
*Bet you got her on a raid huh Corruption?* She wanted to ask but knew better then to, so she looked at the chesnut color horse with a black mane and tail. "What is her name?" She asked. "We call her Spirit." Cale answered, Leona nodded. "Good name." She said and after getting the horse ready she walked out the stable leading Spirit by the reins where Cale and his horse was waiting.
But then as he was about to get on his horse Cale sensed something was wrong. " Leona I think .." He start to say but then a dark laughter sounded thourgh out the area they was in. Suddenly both horses started neighing and Spirit went to her hind legs kicking her front, Cale garbed Spirit reins's as both he and Leona tried to calm her down. "Cale what is it?" Leona asked.
"Trouble." Cale answered after calming the horse down and standing infornt of Leona looking for who or what spooked the horses. "So Cale of Corruption, we meet at last."A male voice said, both Cale and Leona looked up to see a young man about eighteen, sholder lenght dark brown hair and blue green eyes and he was in black and white sub armor.
Cale looked at Leona who stood tensed and looked very confused. "And Leona isn't it? My brother in arms spoke very fondly of you, said you put up a good fight for a mortal. Of crouse being trained by the master of creulty I can see that is true." The man taunted, Leona's eyes went wide when she realized he was a comrade to her attacker and he knew she remembered.
"Ah yes, I see that fear in your eyes girl. Cale and the other Seasonals aren't who they act to be are they?"He asked smirking. "Leave Leona out of this! She has no part of that!" Cale said. "Are you so sure Cale, I've been ordered to detain her and intend to do as my mistress commands!" The man said jumping from where he stood. Cale pushed Leona out of harm's ways and qiuckly made a choice he hoped would not make matters wrose later.
"Armor of Darkness!" Cale disappeared in a bright flash of light and reappered in full battle armor. Leona stumbled backwards, she forgot the fear and wonder she felt when she saw one of the Warlords armor up. Then when Cale turned and garbed her Leona tried to jerked away from him but Cale did not let her. He knew he was scaring her and though he did not want that it was for her own good.
He picked her up and using the strenght of the armor Cale jumped up to the balcony over looking the stables. "Stay here Leona."He ordered putting her down then jumped down to where the man had also armored up and was waiting. Anubis, get the others. We got trouble. Tell Kayura to get Leona somewhere safe, she is on the balcony overlooking the stables. He called to his comrade thourgh the armor link.
Cale and the man locked swords with each other, the man started to lose ground and had to unlock the swords. "Cale! Look out behind you!" Leona yelled from where she stood when she saw another Warlord! Leona wasn't sure how she knew the newcomer was her attacker and a Warlord but the sense of power he gave off sent Leona's instincts screaming in wraning and with her attacker came what appered to be Dynasty soldiers but the armors was thicker and they was a gary color.
"Quake with Fear!"Anubis and the others had came after getting the message. Anubis's attack took out of the othe soldiers and the newcomer stopped the rest. "So we got some new Warlords." Seckmeht growled wacthing the two men from his visor. "Yes Hari, I am of Fire Rock, leader of the new Dark Warlords." "And I am Loki, Warlord of Cruel Fire. You should just give us the girl and save yourselves, she is of no use to you." Loki said.
"No way, there's no chance we are going to let you touch her." Dais said. The four Ronin began to spread out and surrounded Hari and Loki. "Have it your way Ronin scum but she is coming with us. Soldiers attack!" Hari commanded sicing the soldiers on the Seasonals. As the Seasonal qiuckly started to whitle down the soldiers Leona turn when Kayura came onto the balcony.
"Come on Leona, it is not safe here." Kayura said, Leona took a step back away from Kayura. Kayura frowned. " Leona we do not have time for this, I will explain but you have got to come with me." Kayura said, Leona looked at her down at the battle raging below, the Seasonal was now fighting the two Warlords and a few soldiers.
"I've had enough of this! Quake with Fear!" "Web of Deception!" "Snake Fang Strike!" "Black Lighting Slash!" The Warlords had no cacth aganist the four attacks, they knew they was beaten. "Arrrrrgh! You can't stop our master forever, soon he will have her!"Hari snarled as he and Loki teleported away.
After the battle not a word was spoken, it was so qiuet you could hear a pin down. Dais removed his helemet and looked up at the balcony where Leona and Kayura stood. It came to Leona that she had not thought about running during the battle but right now it sounded like a good idea, a very good idea. Before anything could be said or done she bolted! " Leona!" Kayura called after the teen but Leona didn't stop, instead she only ran faster gratful for keeping in shape and for remembering a safe way out of the castle.
Leona could hear her heart pounding in her head and her feet hitting the floor as she ran taking every short cut she could remember. Finally, she somehow got outside, Leona didn't stop to cacth her breath as she ran to a forest like place she knew she could hide at. Her lungs felt like they was on fire from not getting enough air but she kept running until she was in the forest and was sure she was alone.
Leona leaned aganist a tree feeling very light headed as she gasped for air. When the light headedness toned down a bit and her lung was on a semi normal breathing, Leona started walking carefully thourgh the forest. There was a lot of undergrowth and plants just waiting to trip her and right now she couldn't afford being injuried.
The things she had stored away was in good shape dispite the years she was gone, of crouse time passed more slowly in the Dynasty then in the mortal world. She qiuckly took what food was not spoiled, a black whip and a dagger with a phoenix's head for a handle. She qiuckly put her two weapons on her belt and stuffed the food into her pockets. "Ok, now how in the world do I get out of this nightmare?" She asked herself.
Suddenly she heard footsteps and hide. "This is the direction she ran. You really think she been here before?" Dais asked, Cale nodded. " Yea, I do. I don't know how but I do think she has been in the Dynasty before. And from the look on her face when she saw me armor up she was here during the invasion." Cale said.
Leona swallowed the knot of fear in her thoart and qiuetly slipped again but her atteion was so focused on Dais and Cale she didn't wacthed where she stepped. Leona tripped over the tree root and falling backwards, tumbled down the hill. Leona ended up staring at the tree tops the wind knocked out of her so she couldn't move and pain came from her right shoulder from her tumble.
Leona heard footsteps as the four Seasonals showed up and Leona managed to get to her feet. But as she tried to bolt Cale garbed her by the back of her shirt collar. Leona didn't give them a chance to say anything, she fought like a wildcat, trying to get away from them.
"Leona, calm down." Cale ordered trying to hold on to the sturggling girl. Leona didn't listen, terror, andreline and panic clouding her good sense she manage to get one of her arms free and socked Cale one. Out of surpise and pain Cale let her luckly Dais caught her.
Knowing that Leona was not going to listen Dais tied her wrists up behind her back, that was when Leona stopped fighting seeing she wasn't getting away and a blank look came over her face. "Come on Leona, we have some explaining to do." Dais said. " Do what you want, it doesn't matter now." Leona said softly as she walked with them as if she was walking to her own hanging.
"Are you sure you feel well enough to go riding?" Leona nodded. "Sure anyway, fresh air will do me some good." Leona said with a fake smile, Cale nodded and led the way to the stable. "You can uses this one, we got her on a ra ..... I mean, we got her a few years back, she is spirited but I don't think she will give you trouble." Leona nodded pretending not to hear the near slip.
