CHAPTER SEVEN- RAVEN
Sora stared up into Aura's face, frozen in time and trapped within Morgana's viruses that kept her from doing anything.
"Oi, Old Woman!!" he called out into the nothingness that made up this server. Misty waters, semi-swamped isles, and a kind of perpetual dusk. The only significant landmark that changed the scenery was the data- ritch norton crystal that served as the prison of Aura."Come out and talk to me, ne?!"
A rustle of wings compelled the thief to look to the side. A small brush had sprung spontaneously out of the misty water and upon it sat a rather elegant-looking raven with lavender eyes who tilted its head to the side curiously and squaked at Sora. He raised an eyebrow and stared right back, and the bird seemed to dissipate into the air. Then a hand fell on his shoulder.
Sora startled, lunging forwards and spinning about with a cry and his arm-blades out and ready. How had anyone gotten into this place, let alone sneak up on him? "Who are you??"
The stranger stared at him blankly with the same purple eyes as the raven and blinked.
This is my reward to you, Sora, for your hard work.
Sora looked up. "Eh, I was hoping something more along the lines of money? Or some extra experience??" He snapped. "No such luck, mmm?" Sighing and knowing better to argue with his employer, he let his blades retract safely back into their holsters and looked curiously at this... 'reward'.
Now... I have another task for you, Sora. You know of the famous Subaru, don't you?
Sora smiled. "Oh, indeed I do, Old Woman."
A heavily cloaked figure moved through the streets of the City, following the side of the river. The obvious attempt to be inconspicuous made him stand out like a spoon in a fork drawer and drew more then a few curious stares.
Subaru watched the strange man make his way towards her boat and thought she caught a glimse of familiar white hair and pale skin. Her breath caught in her throat. She walked over to meet him on the shore with Ginkhan stepping close behind her.
"Tsukasa?" she whispered, bending to peek under the low hood. He nodded, but turned away.
"I want you to remember me the way I was," he whispered in apology when she turned a hurt gaze on him. Subaru nodded even though she did not completely understand what he meant.
"What are you doing here? You are a wanted man again!"
"I know, but I need to speak to you." He paused and his head jerked to the side in Ginkhan's direction. "I neet to speak to you in private."
The Knight growled in protest but did not argue. Ginkhan could do nothing but watch as the two walked away. Then he frowned, wondering if Tsukasa was injured; his usual proud way of walking had become different, forced.
...had that really been Tsukasa?? Ginkhan did not have the chance to get a good look at him before he left with Lady Subaru and the two were already out of sight.
He swore aloud and began to send messages to the rest of the disbanded Knights.
