Chapter 7: Life for a life

::the fairy stared at Blaze in awe as she felt a quiver seeing him he looked so cute and young and to think he becomes such a monster, such a beast that she couldn't even speak, she watched it then she saw a shadow behind her she turned around seeing a figure behind her draped in a cloak, his left hand was all that could be seen and it was all bone and it was holding a war scythe as the fairy started to shake in fear as it the spoke to her with a raspy voice that would send fear threw her body:: "…are you a friend of the young boy Kyo the one who just recently died" ::she slowly nodded:: "I can bring him back as a favor as long as you do me a favor…when I revive him he must kill and slaughter people till I come to him… I am telling him this at the same time as we speak and I need you to help him and make sure he doesn't die." ::then everything turned black and they seemed to be in a huge cube that was nothing but mirrors but the person next to him had no reflection.:: "Now will you do this" ::she slowly nodded:: "good then it's settled I'll send you both back to the living dimension" ::the fairy then took up the courage to talk:: "bu-but where am I right now" "you are in a dimension that has no meaning that just brings up memories of someone who has been in here…like the demon that attacked Kyo…that was a demon from his past…those people who you saw be killed by the black nights and that young boy's family being slaughtered that happened to Blaze in his past…now I must leave" ::the figure slowly turned around and a huge black mist swirled up around him like water then going up above his body and pressing him into the ground till he vanished, then the huge cube shattered and everything was black::

::the fairy then feels her eyes open and see's she's in a huge field and sees Kyo standing there his back turned to her, she was laying in the grass, Kyo was overlooking a huge town (Farcringe) holding his Katana in his right hand with the tip of the blade touching the ground:: "…you know…fairy you've never given me your name" ::the fairy flew up and landed on Kyo's shoulder and spoke:: "my…my name is Clair" ::Kyo smiled slightly:: "you know Clair…heh the only reason I went on this quest was to find a way to diminish this damn demon…but…why did this all have to happen it doesn't make any sense! Why did this have to happen to me! Why do I have to be the bad guy! ::he started shaking in a mix between fear and anger, the fairy sat down on his shoulder putting her hands on her chin:: "…I'm very sorry…" ::her voice was so soft:: "…heh why are you sorry you haven't done anything" ::the fairy then lowered her head looking down at the ground:: "…" "well…Clair let's try and hurry up and get this over with…I doubt that man told you this but…he told me that if I refuse to take life's like he said…then he will come and kill me…" "but what If he can't kill you how bout you just keep killing till your strong enough to take him" ::he looked at her smirking slightly:: "thanks but…that won't work" ::the fairy's eyes widened then drooped and laid down on his shoulder:: "ok let's do this" ::Kyo started walking towards the town seeing the people walking around there he first started to approach one of the knights as the knight instantly saw Kyo's sword:: "HEY there are no swords permitted in this area unless they are sheathed!" ::Kyo then quickly put his left hand (the one not holding the sword) on the bottom of the sword and pushed on it greatly thrusting it into the man's chest as the man screamed in pain with blood squirting into the air as he fell back dead as Kyo closed his eyes as the blood flew up into his face, he opened his eyes slowly wiping the blood off of his face and then holding his sword with just his right hand once again as he heard the people start screaming. He saw three guards starting to run at him, he then rushed at them only appearing to them as a blur as he jumped up right in front of one bringing his sword up under his chin bringing his head right off of his body bringing the man's spine out with It pulling the man's head off of his sword, the man's eyes rolled to the back of his head, Kyo quickly looks around seeing a man running. He charged at the man slicing at the man's side while he fell to the ground dead, Kyo slid on his feet turning around looking at a huge group of knights charging at Kyo while Kyo held his sword with both hands, Kyo closed his eyes halfway:: "…I can't believe I'm doing this…my father would be so ashamed of me…I should've just stayed dead…I can't do this…this just isn't me…but I have to do this!" ::he closed his eyes tightly while two of the knights where right in front of him getting ready to swing there swords, but Kyo measly swung his sword at both to them all that could be seen was him sheathing his sword while there was a huge rush of wind as the two knights stood still as blood ran down there lips. The knight on the left, his head was cut in half while half of it slowly fell to the ground while his body fell with it, the other knight's arm and body was cut horizontally while he fell cut in half. The knight's stopped looking at him in fear:: "That's impossible!" ::one of the knights screamed that while turning around and running:: "GAH he's just a child how can he do this!"

::Kyo then heard a rush of wind and turned his head to the right seeing a man with a black cape, he has long black hair with a eye patch. He has black gauntlets on with red gems imbedded in them, he has black chest plate on, and baggy black pants with large black boots. He has a long sword sheathed at his side, his arms crossed, his eyes a dark blue while the knights looked at him as well:: "…It's General Cade!" ::they all smiled being filled with confidence now while the man smirked:: "Child why do you attack us" ::Kyo looked up at him, his eyes only half way open:: "…if I don't I will be killed" "hmm…by whom" "…I don't know but he reminds me of death by the way he looks" "well how bout this child…you stay here and stay as a knight and we'll protect you from this figure…how bout it boy" ::Kyo smiled as so did the fairy, Kyo let go of the hilt of his sword:: "I will gladly" ::the man then smiled:: "good then come into the castle with me" ::the man then jumped off the building and started to walk ignoring the comments his men where making about how Kyo killed some of the men as he brought Kyo into the castle several people looked at them both:: "Now Kyo how bout you get cleaned up and I'll show you around the village and explain your position now"

(Two weeks later)

::Kyo was standing in front of two huge red doors, his hair was a little longer now, his hair went down his neck just a little bit above his shoulders, his bangs where thin and went halfway down his eyes. He slowly leaned back against the wall next to the huge red doors. He could make out every small footstep within the room. Next to him was another guard. Then Kyo could hear the footsteps come near the door, then they slowly opened and a young beautiful woman walked out, her hair was long, silky, black. She had the most beautiful face and the most perfect physique. She had on a bright red lipstick, she had black eye liner on and bright magnificent blue eyes. Her hair waved with her every movement. She was wearing a red shimmering dress with red high heels. Kyo gazed at her was she walked by. It was his job to protect her and make sure nobody hurt her which was rather hard since she was always wondering around and you could never tell where she was at. The other guard was just supposed protect the room. Kyo started to walk right behind her and then sighed. He could smell her wonderful fragrance. She started to walk downstairs, they where on the third floor, as they descended Kyo saw two guards run upstairs as he blinked a few times, the Princess ( the girl he's following) continued walking. Her name was Rose which fit her perfectly for she was as beautiful as one. Kyo could then hear screams and battle cries downstairs. Rose then turned her head looking at Kyo looking rather serious:: "…Kyo…" ::her voice was soothing but he had no time to be thinking about that:: "…Princess I don't think we should go down there…I'll go check it out" ::Kyo ran downstairs then ran around the corner going down to the base level of the castle, seeing Cade fighting off several men in black armor, the rest of the knights downstairs where dead. Covered in their own pool of blood. Cade only had a cut on his right cheek with blood trickling down it. His sword clashed with one of the knights while he kicked one of the other men, Cade then spotted Cade and shouted:: "KYO get Rose out of here!" ::Kyo nodded and ran upstairs while a dozen knights ran down the stairs while Kyo squeezed between them and ran up the stairs grabbing Rose's wrist and started running up:: "come on!" ::Rose looked shocked:: "what's going on!" "get back to your room!" ::Kyo ran her to her room and opened the door and let go of her and quickly closed her door and pushed her dresser in the way, and looked around her huge room seeing the huge window with blood red curtains drooping over it, he then looked back at her:: "the castle is under attack" ::Rose then looked filled with fear:: "are…we winning" "…I don't know I didn't get a good look" ::rose lowered her head:: "…but don't worry I'm sure we will win and I won't let them harm you" ::Rose smiled faintly looking up at Kyo:: Kyo then turned around facing the door::

::Kyo then saw a figure slowly moving threw the door like a ghost, it was the figure from before, holding the war scythe menacingly. His hands where nothing but bone, Kyo's eyes filled with fear as so did Roses:: "Kyo…I told you to kill others…WHY ARE YOU HERE WITH THIS GIRL" ::his voice filled with hatred and anger, the old raspy voice sent a shiver down their spines.:: "…I can't do it and I won't do it!" ::the figure was right in front of Kyo just looking down at him, the figure was much taller then Kyo:: "you fool…" ::he hissed:: "…I won't do it I don't care what you say" ::Kyo quickly unsheathed his sword and swung it horizontally at the figure hitting the cloak as it cut threw it as there was nothing there, then the figure appeared behind Rose with his hands touching her hair, Kyo's eyes widened:: "…don't hurt her!" ::it raised it's head slightly but it's face couldn't be seen:: "you will do as I say…for I am death and all those who deny me will die all those who see me shall die…now boy are you going to deny me or do you and this young woman have to die" ::Kyo glared at the figure but then was filled with fear:: "…da…death!?…but…what do you want with me! Why do you want me to kill others!" "because you have a demon within you…who will more then likely do more then enough work for you" ::Kyo looked at rose and she had passed out, death was holding her up by her hair.:: "…fine then…I'll do it" ::kyo was lying once again:: "good then this is your last chance" ::he let go of Rose as she fell to the ground but he could still hear deaths voice:: "remember this is no game…it's a life for a life" ::Kyo then looked at the door as he heard a loud bang and then Cade jumped threw smashing the door with an arrow sticking out of his back:: "we need to get out of here" ::smoke had followed him in. two of the black knights glared at them, the black knights face's couldn't be seen they where covered by masks. They started to enter the room slowly:: "damit now!" ::Cade shouted while he picked up rose and dove at the window jumping out as the window smashed as Kyo quickly jumped out behind him, Cade landed on his feet the impact not hurting him one bit while Kyo landed on his feet as well, they where next to a large forest. Cade started running as so did Kyo, then there was a loud swoosh and an arrow pierced the back of Cade as Cade's eyes widened and fell to the ground dropping Roses body, Kyo quickly turned around seeing well over forty black knights and one huge man holding a sword just as big as he was and three times bigger then Kyo, Kyo's eyes widened gazing up at the man seeing his reflection in the massively large sword::
