Who wants some more, I know I do, I'm addicted to this story.
It's finally here!
Chapter 29
The world burned.
Flames twists and turned as ashes of dust crumbled beneath the weight of the worlds hate and lust for life.
Smoke rose to the sky, towards the world above, towards the world much loved.
Kai stared into the mans eyes.
No, they weren't eyes, they were ruby's, great orbs staring at him, and it's wasn't a man, it was a cat or a tiger.
Kai frowned and realized with much amazement he felt no pain, no sting or feeling in his body, he felt as if floating.
The being that stared at him shifted into a new shape, from a cat to tiger back to a man, with ruby eyes.
His hair was white, his skin porcelain, he was large, he looked as if he was seven feet tall, Kai shook his head.
"Am I dead?"
The being shifted again, he was just a bit taller then Kai, his face heart shaped, his eyes smaller but hidden behind rimless glasses, his hair was straight, reaching his shoulder, graying darker and darker, his skin gaining some colour.
"Are you going to answer me?" Kai asked.
"KAI!"
Kai swiftly turned around and saw nothing but empty space.
"Please tell me, am I dead or alive?"
The shape shifter looked straight at him; stretching out his hand he touched Kai's cheek, wiping away invisible tears.
The hand touched Kai's throat, then rested on his heart.
Kai placed his own hand on the shape shifters, and felt a beat, a small silent beat.
A voice rang in his ears, a calming, soothing voice, he was unable to tell whether it was female or male, but whatever it was it was familiar.
"You're time is coming my Flame, you're destiny will soon be decided. Your friends weep for you, your family mourns for the second time and your heart grieves for a place in peace".
Kai looked up at the shape shifter, who was now a bird, just a bit bigger then Kai, it was a crimson maroon colour with a white main, sharp talons and eyes so sharp they took Kai's breath away.
"Dranzer"
The bird hummed in answer, nodding its head.
The phoenix nudged its master, the same voice rang.
"It is your choice on what happens next my Flame, do you die? Or do you live? What will happen to Dranzer? And who will inherit the Phoenix's power?"
Kai stroked his companion's beak and leaned against the soft body.
Getting on the Phoenix's back, Kai was lifted into the air.
"I will be free!"
Silence.
The dread of silence filled the room.
To hurt to cry, or even speak, the room was a complete eerie silence.
"Kai…"
Leon touched his brother's cold face; no movement came from the still Captain.
"You promised…"
The small boy kissed Kai's face.
Leon looked at the unclenched hand which had been gripping the blade in his grip.
Leon picked up the blade and turned it in his hand, a small glow, a hum went through him, and shivers ran down his spine.
Leon looked closely at the Bitchip.
Dranzer sat silently, but there was something different, Leon squinted and saw a fine outline.
"Kai" he whispered.
I'm going to cut it short right there but I'm updating twice so here's the next chapter…
