This chapter is … the beginning of the ending! I think…. Anyway….. R&R!
Chapter 11: Persuaded
"Welcome my great warriors." A loud voice echoed in glast heim
Hao and the others went in "lord Amaku? Is that you?" Hao asked
"Yes it is I, dear wizard" the voice answered "come inside my chamber" and with that a portal appeared right in front of Hao
Ziaren couldn't help feeling a bit scared for it was their first time to see the person they had served for the past few years.. Ziaren shivered
Hao noticed this "don't worry" he smiled sweetly at the priestess
Ryuku, the bard went near the portal "c'mon guys!" he entered and the other 4 followed him….
It was dark…
Ziaren tugged Hao's cape
Hao smiled as he felt her smooth hand "here" Hao casted sight and it provided them light
"You should cast ruwach too" he said sweetly
Ziaren nodded and she casted Ruwach
"IYAAAHH!" a loud scream was heard
"Arianne!" all of them turned around and saw
"dark lord!" Hao said "put arianne down!" he demanded as he took his bone wand out
"would you fight your master?" the dark lord asked as he grinned
Ziaren stared at him "master?" she said
"you are lord amaku!" the bard said
"yes I am what you call lord amaku" the dark lord crushed the girl in his hands spilling blood everywhere
Ziaren closed her eyes
"ARIANNE!" Rita shouted and went to attack the dark lord
"Pity" he said as he dodged her attack
Rita let out a battle cry "monster!"
The dark lord grinned "die" he said and went behind the girl
"ack" before Rita could even turn around the dark lord crushed hear head
"Rita!" They screamed
"priestess… I will not harm you or your friends… if you will come with me" dark lord grinned
Ziaren shuddered before she could even talk
"I won't let you take my ziaren!" Hao glared at him
"Hao?" Ziaren looked at him questioningly
"then if she will not come with me… you will be the one who will come with me"
"then so be it… I'll come with you" hao said
Ziaren's eyes widened "no! you can't go! He might… kill you!" tears fell from her eyes
Hao went near her and wiped her tears "It's better than you being hurt" he smiled and leaned down "Ziaren… I love you" he whispered
Ziaren hugged him "hao.." she cried "I love you too"
"come now wizard time is running out" dark lord grinned
"Ryuku take care of Ziaren aiyt?" Hao smiled at his friend then stepped forward
"Hao… " he nodded " I will take care of her" Ryuku said
"Bye" those were his last words before he and the dark lord disappeared
"oi Dark lord, what're you planning to do?" Hao asked coldly
"Wizard, wizard… do you see this dark gem that I am holding?"
"obviously I can see it" he answered sarcastically
"good" he paused then went near him "I will now control you" and with that he pushed the dark gem in his forehead
"a!" he shouted in pain
While dark lord laughed "now will be the start of my reign" he laughed a demonic laugh
Hao's POV
Where am I? He felt his body lighter
Suddenly images of the people he knew appeared in front of them
Okasan? Otosan? He turned around and saw more
Goodbye
They waved him good bye… one by one….
What the--? He suddenly forgot everything about his parents as soon as they waved him good bye
Hao! a cheery voice was heard from behind him. He turned around and saw an eight year old girl
"Ziaren" he muttered
"hao!" she said once again as the girl ran
"wait!" he ran after her
she suddenly stopped
"matte" he said while catching his breath
Ziaren turned around… but her form was no longer a child, she was already at her normal age
"why did you leave me?" she asked tears flowed inevitably from her eyes
"what?"
"I hate you!" she shouted "goodbye"
"no! Ziaren! Don't leave me!" he ran after her but she wouldn't stop until she totally disappeared
"oniisan"
He looked at the boy in horror "no, not you too.. Kira" he hugged the boy
"sayonara" the boy disappeared
"no.." he cried
Hao, you do not need them…
What? Who are you?
Me? I am your quilt, follow me and I promise I'll take care of you
But… what about… kira, I can't just leave him and Ziaren!
You'll see them soon enough
The wizard kept quiet
So will you be coming?
He saw a hand….
He held unto it…
"good" dark lord smirked "get the girl"
The glitter in Hao's eyes were gone, he looked lifeless
"haii.." The wizard answered senselessly and went on with what his master told him
oh well…. Guess that's it for today…. See yah on the next chapter….
