Destiny's Magic
ch 7
"Alright, getting to Hong Kong is going to be the easy part." Ryo said as everyone was gathering in the living room.
"So then, when we do get there, which will be harder, finding them, or getting them out from wherever they are?" Cye asked, in concern as he looked around the room.
"We might be able to track them down by our connection with each other through the armors." Sage replied, as he leaned back against the couch.
"Yeah, but the one that took them might block our connection." Rowen reasoned, as he pointed out that possibility.
"Well, we're not going to find out anything just by sitting around here. So, we better see about travel arrangements, and getting some sleep, because I have a feeling that this could be one of the hardest battles yet." Ryo replied, with a slight frown.

"Aunt Meih, how are we suppose to find them?" Taea asked, as they hurried through the busy streets.
"I'm not worried about finding them Taea, they'll find us." aunt Meih replied, as she started to slow down, and noticed that they were being followed.
"What do you mean, they'll find us?" Taea asked, in slight confusion.
"If you would train a bit harder in your magic, then you've would have spotted them sooner." aunt Meih replied, as she motioned towards the two on the near by roof.
"You're kidding, Aunt Meih, they're just birds." Taea argued, as he rolled his eyes.
"Like I said, they're not mere birds, they're spirits, spies for Dark Lighter." aunt Meih explained, as she watched them.
"So then, what do those birds...Spies...Spirits, whatever they're called just sitting there watching us?" Taea asked in annoyance.
"They're waiting." aunt Meih replied, as she looked towards him.
"Waiting!? Waiting for what?" Taea asked, as he was getting a little more annoyed.
"For us to follow them. They're taking us to where Dark Lighter has Kento and Kaye." aunt Meih replied.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone and everything stopped what they were doing, and stared in pure fright of what the demon lord just done. "That was no fun for me at all, not like it first use to be." Dark Lighter said, in a bored tone, as the smoke rose from his hand, and the ashes of the burnt up heart shifted through his fingers.
Kento closed his eyes, and lowered his head in order to try and erase what he'd just seen. "Oh God." Kaye said, in a barely audible voice, as she quickly shut her eyes, and turned her head. Dark Lighter's ears twitched a little as he heard what she said.
The demon lord turned around and floated up towards her. "Did I upset you, my lovely?" Dark Lighter asked, as he ran his hand along her jaw line.
"You're nothing but a savage!" Kaye replied, as she turned her head, and glared at him.
"A savage you say? That's quite amusing, for you see, I've hardly begun to even come close." the demon lord said with an evil grin. Just then he noticed something hanging from Kaye's neck. "What's this?"
Kaye's eyes went wide as he roughly yanked it off of her neck. "Don't take that, give it back!" Kaye replied, as her eyes narrowed angrily. Kento snapped his head up and saw the talisman that his aunt have given her, dangling from the demon lord's hand.
"Looks like Meih has thought of a way to protect you from the Tsungs' magic, but unfortunately, it did not protect you from me." Dark Lighter scoffed in amusement.
"But it does not matter, Meih is coming along with one other, and I'll be waiting." Dark Lighter took the talisman, clutched it in his hand and vanished.

Meih and Taea were at the hidden entrance of the demon lord's lair. "Um, aunt Meih, how do we get inside?" Taea asked as he looked at her curiously.
"Be patient nephew, the entrance will show itself to us in due time." Meih replied as the two birds were waiting for the signal from their lord. They got the clear sign to
go. So then the two birds took off from the branch that they were waiting on and flew right through a brick wall.
"No way! It's not possible!" Taea said in disbelief as his eyes went wide in shock.
"Everything is not as it seems, now you have a choice, one you can stay out here and wait for us, or two you could come inside." Meih replied as she gathered her magical supplies. "I don't know about you nephew, but I'm going in." Without hesitation, Meih phased through the wall while Taea stood there dumb founded. He then frowned and finally after waiting a few more minutes, he went inside. "What took you?"
"Cute aunt Meih, real cute. So we're in, now what?" Taea replied in slight annoyance. Just before she could reply, something fell right in front of her, the object made a small clink sound as it hopped a few more times and then finally stopped, laying motionless on the ground. Meih frowned and walked over towards the object, she picked it up and clutched it in her hand. "Aunt Meih, what is it?"
Meih slowly turned around and then opened her hand, showing him. "It's the talisman that I gave Kaye after one of the Tsungs attacked the first time. The demon lord must have found it, and tore it away from her." Meih replied sadly.
"So then what does that mean?" Taea asked in concern.
"It means that she's no longer being protected by my magic. There's no choice, we have to find them and fast, we're running out of time. I'm hoping that we're not too late." Meih replied as she explained the dire situation. Just before they were going to go and look for them, Dark Lighter showed up out of nowhere hovering in the air in front of them.
"Well done, Meih, I'm impressed. You still as sharp as ever." Dark Lighter said in mock amusement. "Tell me, is your magic just as sharp, or have you lost your edge over all this time?"
"Dark Lighter, where are Kento and Kaye? I know that you have them here somewhere. So instead of wasting each other's time with bantering back and forth, why
don't you just tell me, and we'll be on our way." Meih replied in annoyance as she was searching in her bag for a magical item.
"Sorry, you know that I don't work that way. That'll be too easy, if I just told you where they are. Then where would the fun be?" the demon lord asked as he looked towards her.
"You've crossed the line when you took them, and you know it. Or don't you remember the pact that was done between the Rei Fauns, and the Tsungs?" Meih asked as she was about ready to defend herself if needed.
"But Meih, I didn't breach any pact, I'm just a demon lord, I have nothing to do with either family." Dark Lighter replied with a smirk.
"That's a lie Dark Lighter, you've had influence over the Tsungs family for centuries. So then when you too them from their home and brought them here, you've broken the pact." Meih pointed out as she was slowly bringing out a talisman and a parchment. "Taea, get out of here, go and look for Kento and Kaye, I'll stall Dark Lighter as long as I can."
"Stall? What do you mean by stall? Can't you defeat him?!" Taea asked in confusion.
"In my younger days, I was much stronger, but over the years, time has not only diminished me in age, but also in my magic...A person can only practice magic for so long, and then..." Meih explained, "now go!"
"No, aunt Meih you can't! Please, just come with me. I'll need your help, I can't rescue them alone." Taea asked in urgency.
"Taea, you might not be a Rei Faun, but you're still my apprentice. I chose you because I saw great potential in you that's why I taught you everything I knew, now go, you're wasting time." Meih replied as she called forth a woman with odd pony tails and clenched fists. Dark Lighter backed up a little from them. "What's the matter Dark Lighter? You seem to be scared of something."
The demon lord glared at Meih and what she called forth. "I'm not afraid of anything, old woman!" Dark Lighter replied angrily. While those two were preoccupied
with each other, Taea slipped away to find Kento and Kaye.
'Be careful aunt Meih.' Taea thought as he took one final look back, as he continued to look.
"So Dark Lighter, you do remember Fight. Good, I was hoping you would." Meih replied with a cocky grin. "Considering that she's the one that really kicked your sorry ass the last time we met."
