Chapter 11 Dwelling in the Darkest to Give Light



"So you're saying that there's five new warriors out there?" Sage said. Ryo nodded as he brought up the file. The guys gathered around and looked at the picture. The armors didn't look like theirs did. They looked like pieces to armors. "Man, they don't look like much, but we still better find them," Kento said. "Yeah, they might be of some help. Not to mention if the Dynasty gets to them first, that could mean big trouble for us," Rowen said. "Well, we'd better go out and look for them. The ancient gave me this poem and that was it," Ryo said as he handed the paper to Sage. Sage read it over and passed it to the rest of the guys. "Ok, well, let's split up and look for them. We're going to need Mia's help though," Ryo said.

"Are you sure it's here Mia?" Sage asked. "Not really, but this would be a good place to look. It's one of the darkest caves around. There is also rumor that there is an unknown source of light deep inside of it. Some people even say that it comes from a young kid that goes inside everyday," Mia said. "Well, the poem does say that the armor is in the darkest to give light," Sage said as he started into the cave. It was indeed very dark, but Sage's eyes adjusted very well. He weaved his way through the cave and around stalagmites and stalactites. He looked around the cave, but there didn't seem to be any sign of the mysterious source of light.

"Looks like there's nothing here," Sage said. He turned around and began to head back. He only got a few feet back when he saw his shadow on the ground. He turned to see that there was indeed light coming from the tunnel. He began to head back down the tunnel and into a small opening. There he saw several lit candles in a manmade tunnel. He followed the candles until he came to a small room and was momentarily blinded by the light reflecting off of something. He shielded her eyes and looked at what it was. It was a sword blade. He followed the blade down to the hilt to the hands that held it, and then up the arms to the flowing blonde hair and then finally to the blue eyes. His eyes widened when he recognized who it was, Amy. She was standing there on a narrow piece of rock with her sword held out firmly in front of her. He gaze was fixed upon the wall in front of her. She stood there as if in a trance. The swords blade was what was lighting the entire room, reflecting the light that came from the candles in the tunnel and enhancing their brightness.

'She couldn't be the one who has the armor. There's just no way,' Sage thought. He remained silent as he watched Amy. She closed her eyes and raised the sword above her head. Her eyes snapped back open and she launched her swords forward before jumping into the air and landing on the far side of the rock. Sage continued to watch her as she did different attacks and jumps each time landing on the narrow rock. Sage grunted when the light from her sword hit his eyes again and rubbed them. Amy lost her concentration from the sound and lost her footing.

She fell on her side with her sword next to her. Sage ran over to her and helped her up: "Are you ok?" Amy roughly pushed him back: "I was until you came along. How long have you been standing there?" "Long enough to know not to pick a fight with you," Sage said. "Whatever, just leave me alone," Amy said as she picked up her bag and her sword and headed down the tunnel. Sage went after her: "What is your problem? I didn't do anything wrong to you and you go and bite my head off." "Oh, don't give me that bull. You should know and don't you dare tell me you don't!" Amy yelled. "Well I'm sorry, but I don't," Sage snapped. Amy reached into her bag and pulled out a box throwing it at him: "Maybe this will help to refresh your memory, Sage Date!" She then turned and left down the dark tunnel and out of the cave. She went right passed Mia and headed to her car. She threw her things in the back, got in, and drove off.

Sage watched her leave and looked down at what was in his hands. It was hair color. It wasn't permanent, but it was still hair color. The label at the bottom read Chocolate Brown. For some reason it rang a bell, but he just couldn't remember why it did.



Finally, poor Sage got told off. You should be able to recall who it is, but don't say anything cause some people might not know so SHHH! Any way, please R&R. And please, no flames. I'm already getting too many for this one girl who wants me to remove my stories, but I won't. Ok, well g2g and make another chapter. And Don't forget to check out my friend's stories.
