Disclaimers: The only thing I own in this story is the characters and the
guild; the rest is all from the game Ragnarok Online by Gravity.
Author's Note: This would be my first Ragnarok Online Fic and also my first fic in around 1 ½ years...don't bite me for grammar, happy reading..
"..." – dialogue '...' – interior thoughts, whatever it is said inside of self/character (...) – side notes from author
In the confusing maze of pyramids of morroc, the only light provided in the dark dangerous hallways were the torches, lined up along the damage and ancient walls of the pyramid. A monk, a female monk's shadow to be exact was growing bigger and bigger as she approached the portal that will allow her to rejoin with her comrades. Faint sounds of wings flapping began to be more audible by the second. She knows she is quite capable of fighting almost anything in this dungeon, but the fact that the three other guild mates that has already arrived here may have difficulties fending off some of the monsters on the next level bothers her. Therefore the quickest and easiest way to reach them is to run pass the monsters crowded near the portal that is already in sight. Being an agile monk that she is wouldn't be very hard of a task to accomplish. "Increase Agility" she softly whispered in the hostile atmosphere that she is in. A soft gentle breeze whisk passed her, as she felt her weight was lighter and that she felt she was almost floating. She quietly ran to the portal and entered. The only thing the monsters noticed was a blur of silver and black passed by their heavily guarded portal.
She was the guild master of the guild Fallen Angels, a small little guild, consisting a blonde hair dancer named Cagali, who has the most breathtaking emerald eyes. She is the secondary supporter of the group. Using her rapture rose to fend off anyone that dares to interrupt her dances. Due to the fact that she was a dancer, most people view her as outgoing. In reality, she is a caring, has a temper of a marine sphere (anyone who aggravates her, tastes her wraith!) and dislikes very much of her dancer garb. She claims, "I feel like I'm wearing nothing but strings!" Most guys always think she was a flirt, and end up getting yelled and screamed at by her. She only became a dancer because she adores dancing and singing, and she has a great talent for doing so. She wasn't very tall, a little bit shorter than Ayuki, her tanned skin made her even more attractive, her blond hair is usually tied into a lazy pony tail, some strands frames her perfect shaped face. Her whole dancer garb was a deep forest green color, with silver linings. The only exception was the tip of the skirt that covers her back had 3 golden bells hanging on the ends. Her headgear was a simple pin, which was carefully decorated into the shape of the curve moon. In one sentence to describe her, she was one stunning dancer.
Raksu, an outgoing hyperactive wizard who everyone enjoys her company, her lighthearted self can make even the darkest dungeons feeling less hostile. She has long brown hair, with streaks of lighter shades of brown in it, which rests a little bit over her shoulder. Her cloak is a light hue of blue, along with darker blue clothes. She would seem harmless, as she is quite short, barely reaching a 5"1, her skin isn't tanned nor pale, showing that she is quite healthy. On her head sets an Apple o' Archer, which is often times a topic where people love to tease her with. The day the group was hunting in pyramids level 2, when she got the apple, she almost took a bite out of it with the rest of the group screaming 'HALT!' in the background. She got so scared she yelled so loud and flinging her arms while dashing at top speed in circles. Accidentally she released the apple and it went sinking into the pool. At the end she went for a short swim, then catching a cold the next day. She isn't the brightest girl around, sometimes it made people wonder how did she even made it to a intermediate wizard. Yet her attacks can pull quite a force, except the slow casting and with the lacking of phen card, she can only stay in the back of the group while casting.
Dan, an over protective knight who takes in the role of brother in the clan, skilled with his personalized claymore, he made it almost his personal mission to protect those who are in his clan. A vitality knight, always there for his guild mates at any time. His gentleness and caring personality is what made him earn the title of the 'pacifier' in the guild. His eyes have a lighter shade of green compare to Cagali, but still a very beautiful eye color. His whole outfit is the normal knight outfit. His hair is tied up into a high ponytail, with hair falling in front of his face; his hair is an unusual mix of dark brown and a bit of blond, usually covered by his bone helm. He touches a bit over 6"2, his build is quite muscular, his only problem is his lack of agility, which was replaced by his hard trained body and longer lasting health than other people. Like Cagali, his skin is quite tanned, when those two stand together, they can attract the attention of both sexes.
Kai, a constant traveling blacksmith of the guild, he usually comes back often enough to unload his new found treasures and helping the guild forging their specialized weapons. He is the gentleman of the guild, with his Western Grace slightly tilted onto the side of his head covering his soft looking blond hair, and having the 'sun shine' boy smile. Quite a bit of the female population would have melted on the spot. He would drag his big flowery cart that has quite a bit of capacity. He wears the usual blacksmith clothes. A shirt opened to around his chest, and blue loose jeans, his bare chest is quite well tanned, showing a bit of his 6 packs. Thank god there is not drooling girls following him to their gather spots, at least he knows how to reject them kindly. Nonetheless, he still has the charms and the gentleman act, why is he single is sometimes a mystery to Raksu and Cagali.
Yan, an acolyte in training, her red crimson hair is tied neatly to the either side of her shoulder with two large nicely decorated glass beads, a big Sis Ribbon on top of her head. Her dream of being a priestess was closing in as she works very hard. She has the determination of doing something, yet her short-term memory and her clumsiness may be a problem sometimes when she tries to reach her goals. She always has a sweet smile on her face, and when she is thinking of something, well her expression is plainly cute. She is the shortest in the guild, a little bit taller than 5"0, also the youngest, everyone treats her like a little sister.
Last but not least, Ayuki the guild master, an agility based monk, she has the deepest cobalt eyes, which seems to be able to suck your soul in and see through what you are feeling. Her whole monk garb was fully black, with some parts in silver linings or emphasized in silver. Her short silver hair was tucked behind her ears, some strands falling in her face, framing her face. She has an ancient earring on her right ear, with sapphire droplets on the ends of every line of silver chain hanging from a black pearl encircled by smaller pieces of sapphire, sometimes an illusion of a white dragon with blue eyes may been reflected when you look at the pearl. She wears an angel wing band, she is the tallest female in the guild, around 5"7. Her skin is rather pale; she looks like an elegant fragile porcelain doll. Yet her skills and ability is the strongest in the guild, due to her peculiar special-ness. She is a silent person, rarely showing much emotion, she is the strategist of the guild, as she can be calm in most situations. Rarely anyone sees her smiling. She is the type of person where when people set their eyes on her, their eyes would follow her until she is out of sight and leaving a strong impression. Not once did she ever have a boyfriend or any sort, because she wouldn't let anyone close to her. Maybe it was because of something happened between her sudden decisions of being a Monk instead of a priestess. No one knows but herself. Never once in the clan someone tried persuading her to answer the question of why she is like this or what has happened between her acolyte years.
After bring teleported, the first thing she noticed was Cagali running towards her with more than a dozen of mummies lagging behind. Readied with her fire fist, as soon as the older girl passed her, blurs of red hit the mummies, burnt bandages on the mummies' heavily wrapped body replaced the blurs. Cagali sat behind the pillar and watched Ayuki finishing the mummies off quickly. Being a high dexterity dancer she is, she is capable of actually seeing Ayuki moving extremely quickly rather than seeing blurs of black and silver. Her attacks and dodges were smooth and liquid like as there was no hesitation on every punch she makes, no extra movements, only clean, firm attacks. Cagali couldn't help it but watch in awe even she have seen Ayuki fighting dozen of times. It felt like the monk was moving freely with grace among the now aggravated mummies. Smooth movements like the water, determined blows like ice. Ayuki soon dispatched the last of them and began to gather the loots. The dancer stood up, and helped doing the gathering; she soon started to squeal in delight, as they were lucky enough to obtain several silver rings and 1 mummy card. Ayuki stopped collecting and looked forward to the rows of paths, out of no where, summoned spirits surrounded her, Cagali looked at her questioningly, all of the sudden the female monk muttered a few words under her breath, barely audible, and few of the spirits departed away from her with great speed and shot straight onto where she was staring on earlier. Soon Raksu showed up, waving happily at the two other girls.
"Ayu" She gave Ayuki a big smile, thanking her over and over again for helping her out. Cagali soon came to where they both stood.
Cagali sighed softly, she has known Ayuki since they were 14, and Ayu use to be a very clumsy, loud and probably needed a 'dummy for battling' if it existed, girl. Ever since the day Ayuki set out to prontera to be a priestess as she was finally qualified. All was changed, not only Ayuki did not return after a week, she disappeared for more than 4 months, only to return back as a fully trained monk, which was a rare existing class, she cut her long silver hair which she use to adore so much she wouldn't give it up for anything, and she closed herself up, being the silent, strong, independent and cold person she is now. It was something the elder dancer always wishes to find out what has happened; yet she didn't dare asking again ever since that night she questioned her. The monk only glared at the dancer and warned her not to mention about that day ever again. Not willing to lose her childhood friend, the blond hair girl left the matter alone.
Ayuki nodded, making no comments, she looked around for the third person, then looking at the two in front of her, as they became to realize what she was seeking for.
"Ack! We totally forgot about Yan! We were distracted by those monsters, she was getting chased by a Mummy last we separated" Raksu said, then starting to pace back and forth, worried for Yan's safety.
Cagali took out the guild's communicator, for her case was her Oridecon wristband. "Yan, are you ok?? "
Yan's reply returned very quickly, "Yeah, this nice assassin helped me killed the Mummy, and I got a mummy card! Ayu, are you there? The assassin seems to be interested in our guild! Can we please let him join?"
Ayuki sighed, the thing she worries about Yan the most was her innocence to the world of Migard. She looked at the other 2. Almost giving them the look of 'Do you know who is she talking about'?
Cagali stayed silent for a second, "Well, there isn't much people, and the only assassin I saw was the one who helped me get rid of the Skeleton archer that was targeting me."
Raksu piped in quickly, "Invite him! Please please Ayuki! He is very nice! And he helped me out earlier with a mimic!"
Ayuki, seeing the three girls all had a good point on him and wanted him in, only gave in. She nodded as loud cheers can be heard
Cagali quickly added before closing the communicator, "Yan, we'll all meet at the entrance alright?"
Yan agreed and all of them headed back to the entrance. Cagali sat down beside Raksu, with Ayuki a few steps away; Yan was soon insight, with an assassin following her.
The Assassin is probably even taller than Dan, somewhere around 6"4, a nice body build for agility as he isn't bulky, every step he took barely made a sound, and it barely left the floor, as if he was just gliding onto it. His assassin garb was fully black like Ayuki's, with parts in silver, it almost seem to be a copy of her clothes palette. His face was well shaped, masculine and handsome. Messy brown hair; some falling in front of his face, his skin didn't show much signs of roughness and his hair seems to be smooth like liquid chocolate. His eyes were rather rare. Honey like iris, with a bit of a cat eye's touch, deep caramel with yellow. Ayuki can feel Raksu almost drooling over him. His headgear was a Devil band, with a mask covering the rest of his features. Although his body is pretty much covered up and the only thing visible was his eyes, she could tell his body is probably pretty tanned, as most assassins are from the desert city morroc. She stood up, and went face to him . . .
Yan, being the happy bundle she is, hopped around Ayuki and the others, as she recounted how she thought she was doomed by the time a mimic was right in front of her, but thankfully the assassin dispatched it and then went to her aid while she tried to heal those mummies and skeletons to death. Through out the whole cheerful exchange, Ayuki and the assassin stayed silent, she took out a piece of oridecon. Muttering a few words, it started to glow and she handed it to the assassin. At first he didn't make a move, then he took it in his hand, bright like absorbed him and the oridecon, and seconds later the oridecon vanished, leaving the Assassin the way he was.
Ayuki nodded to the new joined member in acknowledgement, as if to say welcome.
He replied to her in a barely audible volume, "Name's Kitsu..."
Ayuki's POV
He seems to be alright, his katars are well made, great body build, confidence dances in his eyes and he's definitely one fine assassin. He should be a great member to the guild, his eyes, he seems to be so cold, but when you look deep within them you feel so warm, as if those eyes were caressing you, I wonder what is his personality...Yeah...Raksu seems to be growing fond of him...He seems to be fine, I wonder wha- God! Ayuki, snap yourself together, don't feel for them, and avoid feelings TO them. You know what happened before, even if your abnormal sense tells you this person may be the one who will understand you, don't let it start, it is what made you like this TODAY. You had enough, you don't need anyone close to you, to learn about you and break you again.
END of POV
Finally Dan came by from the portal, greeting everyone and the new member, everyone started to talk and chat, except for Ayuki, sitting a little bit away from the crowd, the assassin would constantly glance over to her direction, but Ayuki didn't mind, because every time he looked at her, a monster would approach, so she took it as some sort of a precaution thing. After a little more longer, the guild collected enough loots for the day as everyone was close to overweight 90%, they all decided to go talke a quick crash to the next level and see if they would be lucky enough to find Osiris. They all went into separate paths, Dan with Cagali, Raksu with Kitsu, and Ayuki with Yan. They agreed to meet at the pool at the middle of the pyramids.
"Kya!!!!!!" A loud screech was heard through the intercom, catching everyone's attention.
Dan's voice was instantly heard, "Guys, I think we need help, osiris is here, but for some reason raydric archers and Skeleton prisoner is accompanying them also!"
The other two parties tried their best to weave their way through to meet up with one and another. Kitsu and Raksu was the first to arrive, while Dan was trying to counter another blow from the prisoners, a raydric archer aimed behind Cagali. Kitsu, in full speed charged at the archer, his katars making loud clang sounds against the armor of the raydric. Raksu started to cast her storm gust, and Cagali retreating a little behind and begin to dance 'Service for you' increasing Raksu's SP and decreasing her SP cost, hoping that her SP will hold out longer. Yan soon came insight with Ayuki, Yan assisted on healing everyone, while Ayuki casted Increase Agility on her and Kitsu.
Kitsu barely gets hit, and his attacks were close to blurs as his attack speed was quick, and even more quicker after Ayuki buffing him. Kitsu and Ayuki tried to clean off the Raydric Archers as soon as possible because they are the ones who can cause the most damage to the more vulnerable members. Raksu's constant Jupiter Thunder helped a lot with wiping them out. Dan on the other hand was trying his best to protect the three ladies, trying his best now letting them getting interrupted during spells or attacked. Yan was busy casting Blessing and heals on everyone. Soon the raydric archers were gone, leaving a bunch of mummies, which started to gather, skeleton prisoners, and Osiris itself. Raksu and Yan was pretty much exhausted, their SP was drained out. Cagali was trying her best to fend off those Prisoners off her with Dan.
Kitsu was holding off the mummies, he was doing a great job, dodging almost every attack from them, and having great accurate slices on them. Osiris finally decided to target on someone, it slowly advanced onto Kitsu. Raksu and Yan tried to get Kitsu's attention, knowing of Osiris was on him, he would at least critically injured due to the crowd gathering on him. Cagali stopped dancing, placing Silver arrows onto her bow and shooting it out at osiris, hoping to turn its attention away from the assassin, but it was hopeless as it continued to advance. Kitsu used sonic blow, diminishing 4 mummies at the same time, but there was still too much on him, and if Osiris set its hands on him, even with his high dodging skills, it would be extremely difficult to avoid attacks.
Ayuki cursed under her breath as her claw was still locked onto an Isis, which came by. She took out a blue gemstone, and threw it at the direction of Kitsu. The gem emitted a bright ocean blue light, and the spell of Sanctuary was cast, the web of divine power was on the floor, damaging all the undeads which stood on it, and healing Kitsu in the nick of time, banishing at least most of the group, with Osiris and 2 other mummies still alive, turning their target onto Ayuki. 'Call Spirit' 5 spirits came to her assistance, floating above her in circles. She ignored the Isis, 'Triple blow, Chain Combo, Combo Finish!' the three consecutive skills was timed perfectly as the damage was done on Osiris. 3 critical hits hit Osiris, then a light emitted from Ayuki, damaging Osiris with interior body damage, then the Chain combo, with one of the spirits vanishing and transferring it's power to Ayuki, enhancing her strength, she pushed back the osiris with great force, letting it crashing to one of the pillars.
Kitsu didn't let this good chance to slip, he continuously attacked Osiris, with Ayuki beside him, triple blows, slashes and slices were done were on Osiris, not even giving it a chance to attack, Cagali and Raksu tried their best to kill the last bit of monsters, trying to let those two to concentrate. Kitsu continuously used sonic blow, slowly he began to notice the blurs of punches were increasing more and more, as if Ayuki went on berserk and her attack was more fierce as seconds goes by. Finally Osiris let out a loud growl, and fell, as the MVP sign was popped on top of Ayuki's head.
Kitsu turned to Ayuki, "How did y-y" his sentence was cut off when he noticed Ayuki was standing just there, black blood was all over her clothes, her eyes even emptier than before, sending chills the everyone who looked straight in her eyes. The deepest cerulean eyes he has ever seen, he felt absorbed in it, so cold, so helpless. She looked at Kitsu emotionlessly, her delicate fingers slowly reached to his mask, stroking his covered cheeks with her finger lightly, as a small tear slipped down from her cheek. Kitsu, didn't know what to do, he would of swatted her hands away from him as he hated body contact, but there was this unexplainable feeling welling up in his heart. Ayuki closed her eyes and fell down, Kitsu being agile he is caught her before she hit the floors.
Cagali rushed to his side, "Stupid girl, she used her powers again, Yan! Get us back to the cottage, she needs ice and rest."
Yan, without needing to be told another word, instantly cast a warp portal, everyone followed in, with Kitsu carrying Ayuki, and Yan going in last.
The cottage was a rather big, cozy cottage located in Lutie, it was a place that Ayuki brought. It was a great calm high spirit place to let them to escape the bustling world of Migard. The roof was covered in snow, the interior was beautiful polished wood, with a deep red carpet lined with golden decorations. Cozy chairs and sofas were all either in red, or with golden or silver threads.
Kitsu was instructed to set Ayuki to her room, following the directions, he walked upstairs, turning right at the end of the hallway. It was a large room, white walls, with a large white bed, white see through fabric hanging on the side as bed curtains. On the side was a glass made bookshelf, a glass table with a black smooth stone stand, with a black leather chair tucked in. Two closets also made with glass, with 4 crystal lamps and hanging lights. Either in clear crystal color, crimson ruby colored crystals, deep ocean blue or an unnaturally black see through crystal. It was a simple room, nothing except empty and lonely colors; he set her on her bed. Looking at her, he removed his mask, his hands rested on where she touched him.
Kitsu's POV
So she's the guild mistress, she looks so fragile yet so independent and strong. Don't let your guards down Kit, How did she manage to cast Sanctuary? I wonder how does she look like when she smiles, I wonder how does she sounds if she spoke, or sing...her hair seems so soft, uhg, why am I aching to touch it, her eyes, she looked so helpless earlier, why did my heart ached just now. She's just your new target Kitsu, stop thinking wrongly, even if she looks amazingly stun- wait did I just said that? God dammit, get a hold of yourself!
END of POV
Cagali and the other almost bashed open the door, with towels and ice. Trying to ease Ayuki's coma, hoping to make it as comfortable as possible for her. Kitsu excused himself from everyone, walking into a dark hall, and then walking out to the backside of the house, near the wooden cabin. He sighed softly, looking on the joyful lights hung around the town. "Kitsu, remember your mission...she's the key to what we need" a soft voice was heard, and a male priest stood out from the shadows. Kitsu nodded, he knew what he had to do, yet he felt odd, as a sudden guilt was set on him, and an unwillingness of doing what he needed to do after remember how innocent and insecure she looked...
Ok...I know this probably is full of grammar mistakes...I think I kind of rushed a little bit in the middle of the story, but I was never very good at describing battle scenes! Forgive me . please read and review,
hides in the corner before she gets butchered by whoever read this and hates it
Author's Note: This would be my first Ragnarok Online Fic and also my first fic in around 1 ½ years...don't bite me for grammar, happy reading..

Yan's reply returned very quickly, "Yeah, this nice assassin helped me killed the Mummy, and I got a mummy card! Ayu, are you there? The assassin seems to be interested in our guild! Can we please let him join?"
Ayuki sighed, the thing she worries about Yan the most was her innocence to the world of Migard. She looked at the other 2. Almost giving them the look of 'Do you know who is she talking about'?
Cagali stayed silent for a second, "Well, there isn't much people, and the only assassin I saw was the one who helped me get rid of the Skeleton archer that was targeting me."
Raksu piped in quickly, "Invite him! Please please Ayuki! He is very nice! And he helped me out earlier with a mimic!"
Ayuki, seeing the three girls all had a good point on him and wanted him in, only gave in. She nodded as loud cheers can be heard
Cagali quickly added before closing the communicator, "Yan, we'll all meet at the entrance alright?"
Yan agreed and all of them headed back to the entrance. Cagali sat down beside Raksu, with Ayuki a few steps away; Yan was soon insight, with an assassin following her.
The Assassin is probably even taller than Dan, somewhere around 6"4, a nice body build for agility as he isn't bulky, every step he took barely made a sound, and it barely left the floor, as if he was just gliding onto it. His assassin garb was fully black like Ayuki's, with parts in silver, it almost seem to be a copy of her clothes palette. His face was well shaped, masculine and handsome. Messy brown hair; some falling in front of his face, his skin didn't show much signs of roughness and his hair seems to be smooth like liquid chocolate. His eyes were rather rare. Honey like iris, with a bit of a cat eye's touch, deep caramel with yellow. Ayuki can feel Raksu almost drooling over him. His headgear was a Devil band, with a mask covering the rest of his features. Although his body is pretty much covered up and the only thing visible was his eyes, she could tell his body is probably pretty tanned, as most assassins are from the desert city morroc. She stood up, and went face to him . . .
Yan, being the happy bundle she is, hopped around Ayuki and the others, as she recounted how she thought she was doomed by the time a mimic was right in front of her, but thankfully the assassin dispatched it and then went to her aid while she tried to heal those mummies and skeletons to death. Through out the whole cheerful exchange, Ayuki and the assassin stayed silent, she took out a piece of oridecon. Muttering a few words, it started to glow and she handed it to the assassin. At first he didn't make a move, then he took it in his hand, bright like absorbed him and the oridecon, and seconds later the oridecon vanished, leaving the Assassin the way he was.
Ayuki nodded to the new joined member in acknowledgement, as if to say welcome.
He replied to her in a barely audible volume, "Name's Kitsu..."
Ayuki's POV
He seems to be alright, his katars are well made, great body build, confidence dances in his eyes and he's definitely one fine assassin. He should be a great member to the guild, his eyes, he seems to be so cold, but when you look deep within them you feel so warm, as if those eyes were caressing you, I wonder what is his personality...Yeah...Raksu seems to be growing fond of him...He seems to be fine, I wonder wha- God! Ayuki, snap yourself together, don't feel for them, and avoid feelings TO them. You know what happened before, even if your abnormal sense tells you this person may be the one who will understand you, don't let it start, it is what made you like this TODAY. You had enough, you don't need anyone close to you, to learn about you and break you again.
END of POV
Finally Dan came by from the portal, greeting everyone and the new member, everyone started to talk and chat, except for Ayuki, sitting a little bit away from the crowd, the assassin would constantly glance over to her direction, but Ayuki didn't mind, because every time he looked at her, a monster would approach, so she took it as some sort of a precaution thing. After a little more longer, the guild collected enough loots for the day as everyone was close to overweight 90%, they all decided to go talke a quick crash to the next level and see if they would be lucky enough to find Osiris. They all went into separate paths, Dan with Cagali, Raksu with Kitsu, and Ayuki with Yan. They agreed to meet at the pool at the middle of the pyramids.
"Kya!!!!!!" A loud screech was heard through the intercom, catching everyone's attention.
Dan's voice was instantly heard, "Guys, I think we need help, osiris is here, but for some reason raydric archers and Skeleton prisoner is accompanying them also!"
The other two parties tried their best to weave their way through to meet up with one and another. Kitsu and Raksu was the first to arrive, while Dan was trying to counter another blow from the prisoners, a raydric archer aimed behind Cagali. Kitsu, in full speed charged at the archer, his katars making loud clang sounds against the armor of the raydric. Raksu started to cast her storm gust, and Cagali retreating a little behind and begin to dance 'Service for you' increasing Raksu's SP and decreasing her SP cost, hoping that her SP will hold out longer. Yan soon came insight with Ayuki, Yan assisted on healing everyone, while Ayuki casted Increase Agility on her and Kitsu.
Kitsu barely gets hit, and his attacks were close to blurs as his attack speed was quick, and even more quicker after Ayuki buffing him. Kitsu and Ayuki tried to clean off the Raydric Archers as soon as possible because they are the ones who can cause the most damage to the more vulnerable members. Raksu's constant Jupiter Thunder helped a lot with wiping them out. Dan on the other hand was trying his best to protect the three ladies, trying his best now letting them getting interrupted during spells or attacked. Yan was busy casting Blessing and heals on everyone. Soon the raydric archers were gone, leaving a bunch of mummies, which started to gather, skeleton prisoners, and Osiris itself. Raksu and Yan was pretty much exhausted, their SP was drained out. Cagali was trying her best to fend off those Prisoners off her with Dan.
Kitsu was holding off the mummies, he was doing a great job, dodging almost every attack from them, and having great accurate slices on them. Osiris finally decided to target on someone, it slowly advanced onto Kitsu. Raksu and Yan tried to get Kitsu's attention, knowing of Osiris was on him, he would at least critically injured due to the crowd gathering on him. Cagali stopped dancing, placing Silver arrows onto her bow and shooting it out at osiris, hoping to turn its attention away from the assassin, but it was hopeless as it continued to advance. Kitsu used sonic blow, diminishing 4 mummies at the same time, but there was still too much on him, and if Osiris set its hands on him, even with his high dodging skills, it would be extremely difficult to avoid attacks.
Ayuki cursed under her breath as her claw was still locked onto an Isis, which came by. She took out a blue gemstone, and threw it at the direction of Kitsu. The gem emitted a bright ocean blue light, and the spell of Sanctuary was cast, the web of divine power was on the floor, damaging all the undeads which stood on it, and healing Kitsu in the nick of time, banishing at least most of the group, with Osiris and 2 other mummies still alive, turning their target onto Ayuki. 'Call Spirit' 5 spirits came to her assistance, floating above her in circles. She ignored the Isis, 'Triple blow, Chain Combo, Combo Finish!' the three consecutive skills was timed perfectly as the damage was done on Osiris. 3 critical hits hit Osiris, then a light emitted from Ayuki, damaging Osiris with interior body damage, then the Chain combo, with one of the spirits vanishing and transferring it's power to Ayuki, enhancing her strength, she pushed back the osiris with great force, letting it crashing to one of the pillars.
Kitsu didn't let this good chance to slip, he continuously attacked Osiris, with Ayuki beside him, triple blows, slashes and slices were done were on Osiris, not even giving it a chance to attack, Cagali and Raksu tried their best to kill the last bit of monsters, trying to let those two to concentrate. Kitsu continuously used sonic blow, slowly he began to notice the blurs of punches were increasing more and more, as if Ayuki went on berserk and her attack was more fierce as seconds goes by. Finally Osiris let out a loud growl, and fell, as the MVP sign was popped on top of Ayuki's head.
Kitsu turned to Ayuki, "How did y-y" his sentence was cut off when he noticed Ayuki was standing just there, black blood was all over her clothes, her eyes even emptier than before, sending chills the everyone who looked straight in her eyes. The deepest cerulean eyes he has ever seen, he felt absorbed in it, so cold, so helpless. She looked at Kitsu emotionlessly, her delicate fingers slowly reached to his mask, stroking his covered cheeks with her finger lightly, as a small tear slipped down from her cheek. Kitsu, didn't know what to do, he would of swatted her hands away from him as he hated body contact, but there was this unexplainable feeling welling up in his heart. Ayuki closed her eyes and fell down, Kitsu being agile he is caught her before she hit the floors.
Cagali rushed to his side, "Stupid girl, she used her powers again, Yan! Get us back to the cottage, she needs ice and rest."
Yan, without needing to be told another word, instantly cast a warp portal, everyone followed in, with Kitsu carrying Ayuki, and Yan going in last.
The cottage was a rather big, cozy cottage located in Lutie, it was a place that Ayuki brought. It was a great calm high spirit place to let them to escape the bustling world of Migard. The roof was covered in snow, the interior was beautiful polished wood, with a deep red carpet lined with golden decorations. Cozy chairs and sofas were all either in red, or with golden or silver threads.
Kitsu was instructed to set Ayuki to her room, following the directions, he walked upstairs, turning right at the end of the hallway. It was a large room, white walls, with a large white bed, white see through fabric hanging on the side as bed curtains. On the side was a glass made bookshelf, a glass table with a black smooth stone stand, with a black leather chair tucked in. Two closets also made with glass, with 4 crystal lamps and hanging lights. Either in clear crystal color, crimson ruby colored crystals, deep ocean blue or an unnaturally black see through crystal. It was a simple room, nothing except empty and lonely colors; he set her on her bed. Looking at her, he removed his mask, his hands rested on where she touched him.
Kitsu's POV
So she's the guild mistress, she looks so fragile yet so independent and strong. Don't let your guards down Kit, How did she manage to cast Sanctuary? I wonder how does she look like when she smiles, I wonder how does she sounds if she spoke, or sing...her hair seems so soft, uhg, why am I aching to touch it, her eyes, she looked so helpless earlier, why did my heart ached just now. She's just your new target Kitsu, stop thinking wrongly, even if she looks amazingly stun- wait did I just said that? God dammit, get a hold of yourself!
END of POV
Cagali and the other almost bashed open the door, with towels and ice. Trying to ease Ayuki's coma, hoping to make it as comfortable as possible for her. Kitsu excused himself from everyone, walking into a dark hall, and then walking out to the backside of the house, near the wooden cabin. He sighed softly, looking on the joyful lights hung around the town. "Kitsu, remember your mission...she's the key to what we need" a soft voice was heard, and a male priest stood out from the shadows. Kitsu nodded, he knew what he had to do, yet he felt odd, as a sudden guilt was set on him, and an unwillingness of doing what he needed to do after remember how innocent and insecure she looked...
Ok...I know this probably is full of grammar mistakes...I think I kind of rushed a little bit in the middle of the story, but I was never very good at describing battle scenes! Forgive me . please read and review,
