Three days went by, and there was no contact between on another. Katie gave a casual wave to Zack, as he took his daily trips to the library. She was…stunned…but not in a bad way, stunned with new feelings of love. All was fairly calm in the town, no trouble or anything came up since the carnage two days ago.
"Foolish Humans…why do they even try…" A man said, staring down upon the damaged metropolis. The man was fairly tall and wore a black and red robe with many symbolical pictures inlaid in its fabric. The man carried a large, unusual shaped blade on his back. He was too armed with many grenades and wore a necklace similar in shape to another. He simply stared down on the town and vanished into the clouds.
Zack emerged from the library carrying a large book that seemed very old. Droplets of water started to fall from the sky.
"I really don't want to go back home…" He thought to himself. He made his way down the street and climbed onto the rooftop of a common household. He jumped off of that and hopped the fence barricading the two yards. He made his way up to an Oaky door with a sweet aroma. He knocked on the door and Katie emerged from the doorway.
"Zack!" She screamed, latching onto him in a strong embrace.
Zack looked in and saw Talon tinkering with some square blocks.
"Dominos" Katie said with a chuckle. She let Zack in and closed the door behind him. Talon went into the kitchen to cook everyone up some ramen. Zack sat down and Katie offered him a blanket. He smiled and nodded in a thanking matter. She smiled and sat close to Zack, covering herself and him with the blanket. His face became relaxed with a feeling of comfort and love. There fingers interlaced and Katie released and comforting smile.
Just as this blissful moment had occurred, glass shattered in the kitchen.
Zack quickly clutched his staff and disappeared in an instant. He simply reappeared in the kitchen where Talon was being threatened by a man, with an unusual blade. Zack stared at him, like he saw or possibly knew him.
"You," he started, "I see you, in my sleep, why do you haunt me!" Zack exclaimed.
The man raised a hand and pointed to the necklace Zack had been wearing.
"No…," Zack whispered, "You can't have it!"
"Oh, but of course, your going to stop me?" The man said swinging back his red and black cloak.
The man dropped Talon and Talon quickly crawled over towards Zack's direction. He struggled to get to his feet. Blood dripped from his check. He wiped the stain from his face and drew his Black Beauty sword from his glistening sheath.
The man then stared at the two…..
His eyes……they began to glow….with a distinct red hue……..
He stared strait for Zack………
Zack dazed and grasped reality……..but………
His eyes too……………………….
They…began to glow again….like the other day…….
Strong energy filled the kitchen and glass shattered in almost every direction.
Suddenly….an arrow shot…..
Speeding through the air………like a saving angel……..
It pierced the left eye of the man and he lost his concentration for just that slight moment……..
"Zack…….hurry…." Katie called out looking in his direction with concern in her eyes.
Zack looked over and then focused back. He held his hand out and his staff rose before him. He let out a strong and resentful scream of pain and vengeance.
Black shadow ran from the floating sphere and went towards the man.
But……………..
Awe seemed to have settled amongst everyone….
The attack………………………missed…………
The man rose from his crouching position and pulled the arrow from his eye.
"No way…" Katie stated in confusion and amazement.
Blood continued down his cheek, and as he wiped his face free of the red substance he gave a smirk. He dabbed his hand on his lips to check for any further bleeding and then stood there chuckling for a moment.
"Who heathen!" Zack yelled in desperation and jumped towards the man.
In just a split second the man had disappeared and the room was left in confusion and destruction…..
