Chapter 7: Finding out the turth
Leona sat still in the chair she had been put in staring straight ahead as Kayura came in with. She looked from the Seasonals to Leona. "Why did you run?" She asked, Leona did not say anything or look at Kayura. Kayura touched her shoulder gently and Leona jerked side ways almost toppling the chair over if Anubis did not garb the back keeping girl and chair from falling. Kayura stood infornt of Leona and Leona looked up at her then looked away to the wall as if it was suddenly interesting.
"Are you going to kill me now?" She asked after finding her voice. Anubis sighed. "Obvious you did not listen to a word we said coming here. We told you what happen."Anubis said. "And you think I'm souppse to believe you?" Leona asked, suddenly the rings on the staff started to clash together. "What is it Kayura?" Dais asked. "I don't know." Kayura said then she heard a soft gasp of surpise come from Leona, Leona was staring pass Kayura and the Seasonals wide eyed.
Kayura and the Seasonals turned and saw a man with a straw hat, blue and white robes, holding the Staff of the Ancients in his hand. "Ancient One?" Leona whispered in pure suprise, that got the atteion of Kayura and the Seasonals! " You know who he is?" Kayura asked, Leona nodded. " Oh yea, I know. The Anceint was the one that told me to stay in hiding until the end of the Dynasty Wars or atlest until the final battle." Leona said. "And you listened well child. But now it is the Seasonals and Kayura you must listen to. What they have said to you is ture." The Anceint said then looked at Kayura and the Seasonals.
"Loki and Hari are the servants of a new evil, their master is after Leona became of her battle skills and because she will have a part in the battles to come." Leona went very still inside and counted the heartbeat before she could find her voice. "A part in the battle to come? What do you mean?" She asked. "You will have a part in the battles to come, that is all I can tell you. Good luck."And with that the Anceint disappered.
*You are way over your head Leona.* She thought to herself, shaking her head. " Can we say this is going to be trouble?" She asked outloud wanting to break the slience. "I would think so Leona, I would think so."Anubis said, Leona groaned to herself. "I wish I didn't ask, it seem weird things always happen when I'm around." She muttered, Kayura looked at her. "What do you mean by that?" She asked. "What I said, ever since I was young weird things always happened. Like ...... when I was able to resist the Neter Spirits."
"What?" Seckmeht asked shocked, Leona nodded. "I was sent to where the mortals was sent when I was captured with the people of Misho. But for some reason the effect of the Neter Spirit wore out after the first three days, some reason they couldn't use my negative engery and when I started to rebel well .... I think you know that part." Leona said to Anubis, who nodded. "I know. But you have no idea how you was able to resist thier power?" He asked. "Not the faintest idea. Only that weirdness and trouble seems to follow me around like a hound dog." Leona repiled truthfully.
Cale raised an eye brow but cut the ropes binding Leona wrists behind her, Leona rubbed her wrists lighly to get rid of the marks on them from straining aganist the ropes. As she turned her right arm upward Seckmeht noticed something he had never seen before, a mark that looked like a small star or snowflake just above the wrist. "Where did you get that?" He asked.
"This? I've had it for as long as I can remember, I was told I was born with it. My twin brother has a mark like this on his left arm. But I normaly wear long selves to hide it." Leona said shurgging casually as she worked thourgh the knots in her stomach. *This is way too weird even for you Leona! It was bad enough being able to resist something no one else seemed to but finding out you got a part in the battles to come?* She thought to herself.
Leona made a sound of fustardtion in her thoart and ran her left hand thourgh her hair but flinched, her shoulder was thorbbing with pain. " You are hurt." Cale said. " So are you." Leona repiled before she could stop herself. Kayura put a hand on Leona right shoulder, Leona sighed getting the unspoken message. " Sorry, I didn't mean that. I won't have hit you but I thought you was still the Warlord of Corruption and I knew what happened to those that knew too much." Leona apolized. Cale nodded but said nothing. " Come with me Leona, I will heal your shoulder and see if there is anything we can find out." Kayura said, Leona nodded and standing up followed her.
But a week later nothing had been found to figure out what the new evil wanted with Leona or what part she had in the battles to come. One day Leona was talking with the Seasonals after training. "How old was you when you was brought here?" Cale asked, Leona was surpised by the question but answered.
"I was thirteen when I first came here, fifteen when the Dynasty Wars ended." Cale nodded but asked another question. " You was alone?" He asked, Leona nodded. "My mother was garbed before I was but I never saw her again. And before I was capture my brother and I took serparate streets so I don't know what happened to him." Leona said quietly, she and Fox was close even for twins, somethings they seemed to know what the other was feeling no matter what was happening. "And what about your father?" Dais asked, Leona shurgged.
"I don't know what happened to my stepfather and I never knew my real father. I was told he left one day when I and Fox was babies and died, I don't believe it but I got no proof other wise other then two items that I and Fox found when we was six. Right around the time my life started to turn upside down." "What do you mean?" Leona removed something from her pocket, it was a small black staute of a sake, cobra baring it's fangs looking like it was hissing in wraning, she turned it upside down and on the bottom of the falt surface under the snake was an inspriction.
"I and Fox found this statue and another copy locked up in a box when we was six, when we confornted our mother she confessed it was our father's. I've kept it since while Fox kept the other and we tried to find out what the insprictions on each says. I can't read anceint Japanese well so I've never figured out what it says." Leona said.
Seckmeht looked at the statue then did a double take. It can't be! he thought. " May see it?"He asked, Leona handed the staute over. Seckmeht read the inspriction and shook his head. "What is it Seckmeht? You unstand what it says?" Leona asked him as he handed the wolf back. "Yes I do. I was the one who wrote on both."He said, it took a moment for what he said to set in. "You what?" Cale asked. "I wrote it or scarth it in acutally. For my son and daughter."He turned to Leona.
"It says: keep the snake as protection and as a sign so I will know you should we meet again. Childern of fall protected by the sting of my warth and the vemon of my creatures. I didn't think about not being able to unstand it and then I got word you and your brother died and I frogot about you two and your mother or tried." Seckmeht said, Leona dorpped the staute shaking her head. "Leona." Seckmeht started to say but she pushed him away from her and ran out of the room. " Leona!" Seckmeht called after her but she ran into her door slamming the door behind her.
"You knew that she ..." But Seckmeht cut Dais off. " No I didn't realize at first, she looks just like her mother but the color of her eyes are like mine. And it looks like I blew it as the boys would say." Then Kayura came in. " Do you know what happened? I just saw Leona, she was crying for some reason."
Seckmeht crused under his breath but Anubis shook his head he quickly filled Kayura in. "She is young Seckmeht remember that and she probaly feels a bit betaryed. She may think you knew." Dais said, Seckmeht nodded. "And I have no idea how to explain I didn't."He said.
"Leave her alone for a little while, when you know she is not likely to bolt talk to her." Kayura advised. "I did not ask for your help Kayura." Seckmeht snapped. Kayura on the other hand was use to Seckmeht's insults and stubborness. " No you did not but I am giving it to you." She repiled, Seckmeht growled. "In the words of your daughter: go growl at a block of wood Seckmeht, because it doesn't work on me." Kayura said.
Cale grinned at the two while Anubis seemed to be having a sudden coughing fit. " This is very amusing you two, really it is, but Seckmeht I think your daughter attempting to leave again." Dais said looking out the door down one hall seeing Leona walking out of the room and qiuckly down another hall.
Leona sat still in the chair she had been put in staring straight ahead as Kayura came in with. She looked from the Seasonals to Leona. "Why did you run?" She asked, Leona did not say anything or look at Kayura.
