Chapter 68
Anubis' personal soldiers encircled Jazalyn. "Why is it that every time I realize something," she thought, "it's too late? But then again, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Anubis would send his personal soldiers to do this. He looks really pissed off."
Jazalyn saw her partner advance towards Rowen, who was presently chained up due to Anubis' sure-kill. "For the smartest Ronin Warrior," the Warlord of Cruelty began, "you can't seem to follow directions very well."
Rowen glared at the Warlord, "Why should I listen to you?"
Anubis growled, "If you want to live, then you should've listened to me."
"And if you want Jazalyn to live then you need to listen to me," Rowen snapped back.
Anubis' lips curled into a snarl, "You have no right to come near my partner."
"And you have no right putting her close to a piece of scum like Talpa," Rowen shot back.
"She will be safe in the Dynasty," Anubis began.
"No, she won't." Rowen snapped, "She'll be easier to manipulate and control by your so-called lord. If you really care about her, then let her stay with her friends."
Anubis smiled an evil smile, "I have a few questions I want to ask you Strata."
"WHAT!" Rowen replied, completely shocked.
"Tell me," Anubis began, "have you ever lived in Darkness?"
"No," Rowen replied.
"Do you believe that those living in Darkness should find his or her light?"
"What's this all about?" Rowen snapped, "What these questions have to do with the present situation?"
Anubis smiled, "Jazalyn is my light. If you believe that the opposites of the universe should be united, then why do you stop those living in Darkness from trying to protect our lights?"
"Because," Rowen snapped, "To extremes do not clash, they only mix. If what you're saying is true, then Jazalyn is not your opposite, but she completes you."
Anubis furrowed his eyebrows.
"You are not two independent souls that need each other," Rowen continued, "Each of you has some part of the other. You are not two separate beings, but two people with one thought, heart, and mind. Jazalyn is always with you, no matter where you are, or what you're doing. The best way to protect her is to keep her away from Talpa. But if you can't let me do that, then you're putting your partner in danger."
"I need to keep her safe," Anubis growled, "if I leave her with you, she will not be safe."
"Is it?" Rowen questioned, "or is it the fact that you don't like other men around your partner?"
Jazalyn slapped her forehead as she turned bright red, 'Rowen,' she thought, 'a statement like that will get you killed.'
"Both," Anubis smiled, "but I tire of these questions. It's time to die."
As Anubis raised his sickle, the Warlord of Cruelty heard, "Chu, Tei, Ko, Nin!"
Almost immediately, the sky flashed a dark green color, and Jazalyn watched as Anubis' personal soldiers burst apart. "Melissa, Melody, guys, I'm over here," she yelled.
As the four Ronins, Mia, and the four partners appeared on the scene, Anubis saw Melissa's eyes and felt her aura, 'the High Priestess!' he thought, 'Impossible, the High Priestess' powers were supposed to be dormant!'
Melissa looked at Anubis with her flashing green eyes, "You're not going to touch anyone."
"Don't think that I won't kill all five Ronin Warriors," Anubis threatened.
"Not with your confused soul," Melissa countered.
While the conversation was going on, Jazalyn quietly withdrew her sword and slowly inched her way towards Rowen. When she reached her destination, she quickly cut off the Strata's chains in one swipe, 'I must remember to thank Anubis for this sword,' she thought.
"You cannot win." Anubis growled, "I'm not afraid of you."
Melissa smiled, "I know your not, but are you ready to confront the power of the High Priestess, daughter of the Sun Goddess?"
All of a sudden, a small green sphere appeared in Melissa's hand. In a blinding light, the sphere turned from dark green to sunshine yellow.
Anubis' personal soldiers encircled Jazalyn. "Why is it that every time I realize something," she thought, "it's too late? But then again, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Anubis would send his personal soldiers to do this. He looks really pissed off."
