Ryo pushed Mia out of the way and dodged the blade. He hit the dagger out of the woman's hand by hand chopping her wrist. She went around him as fast as Kayura and brought her sword down on Mia. Mia managed to dodge the sword and lose a few strands of her henna hair. "Hold still bitch!" She just missed Mia's stomach with a horizontal slash.
Mia gasped. "She's after the baby!"
Ryo didn't need to hear why. He pounced on the woman and pinned her to the floor. He gripped her hand with the sword tightly. The woman chuckled and disappeared in a cloud of black smoke.
"You won't protect that Light forever." Her voice echoed in the air. "I'll be back to finish the job. Count on it."
Mia went to her knees weeping. Ryo knelt next to her and held his wife. "Mia, you alright?"
"I'm fine. Oh, Ryo why would she wanna kill our baby?" Mia looked at him, her eyes pleading for an answer.
"I don't know." Mia silently cried into his chest. Ryo rub circles on the back of her neck with his thumb.
Hannah hit the ground with a hard thud. 'Geez! This guy is fast.' She thought as she picked herself up. She looked at the grinning crazed maniac with blue skin.
"Disappointing as well as pathetic. Your father was much faster." Hannah was finally able to stand and glared at Helios. "Shame about your mother, I don't think any of her family's power got passed down to you."
"Power? What power?" Hannah asked. Helios went charging at her. Hannah saw it coming and ducked. Immediately she caught his hand and twisted his arm behind him. All he did was laugh. "Who are you and what are you talking about? Tell me now or I'll break your arm!"
"Break it if you must. You'll learn soon enough, Light." He hit her upside the head with his free elbow. Hannah's head rattled and she let of him. Helios kicked her in the stomach and she fell to her knees gasping. "Good night, Kaos." Helios raised his hands ready to deliver a final blow.
"Stop!" A voice yelled from the sky. Helios looked up but couldn't see because he was knocked several feet away. Hannah looked up to see a black creature that looked like a fox with four dragon wings emerging from its shoulders and the middle of its back. It was built like a horse and its tail was long like a cat's, only it ended in an arrowhead. "Go on back to your mistress Helios."
Helios growled at the creature. "Stay out of this! That little wretch needs to die!" He waved his hand and sent a wave of dark blades.
"Get on!" the creature told Hannah. Without hesitation she climbed on and they flew out of the area. Hannah held on tight as she saw the ground swiftly descend below her. "Are you hurt?"
"No. Thanks. Mind telling me what's going on?" Hannah asked.
"I cannot right now. I will bring you to a safe place." Hannah saw water appear below. "You must remain safe for the world."
"Can you tell me your name?"
The black creature smiled. "Senai. I am your family's guardian."
Rowen dropped on his bed covered in sweat and instantly fell asleep. His mother put a blanket on him. She sighed and looked at the chimes in the window. They were ringing softly. She walked over and held her hand over her heart. "She is safe. Her guardian has found her in time." She turned to her sleeping son. 'He has trained all day without rest. I thought this was all over that night years ago.' That night came to her mind.
They were enjoying fireworks from Ashibetsu to usher in the New Year. It was Kilala's first time seeing them, even though she was over a year old. Jamuyra and Toma were playing with a human baby he had saved months before. He had grown very attached to her since he caught her as she was born into the world. Shinto (Toma's/Rowen's mother) saw something in the shadows. As they revealed themselves to be Dynasty soldiers she told Toma to run with the baby and find a place to hide. Jamuyra took Kilala back to the village. Later that night Toma came back with hot tears rolling down his face. His hand was in a tight grip on the pendant that was given to the baby girl he loved. She was taken away, but thankfully she was not killed.
Shinto looked to the night sky. The waxing moon glowed brightly tonight, as it did other nights. A tear hit her hand resting on the windowsill. 'I hope to Inferno she's all right. She must be for Toma's sake, but for the Mortal Realm's sake even more.'
Dawn broke as Senai landed on Mia's balcony. Ryo walked out as he stayed up to guard Mia the rest of the night. Senai turned to him. "Wildfire, will you do me a favor?"
Ryo hesitated then looked at the sleeping blonde on the guardian's back. "What?"
"You must watch over this girl as you watch over your wife's child. The two of them are in great danger."
Ryo narrowed his eyes a little. "What kind of danger, and how do you know about Mia?" He didn't trust this thing at all.
Senai sighed as he tucked in his wings around the girl's legs. "I will tell all of you soon. Wildfire, this is Herial's last descendant." Ryo's eyes widened.
"His descendant? What…?" He turned to the girl as she groaned and slowly woke up. She looked at him and blinked.
"Konnichiwa." She said groggily. She rubbed her right eye. "You must be the Ronin Warrior Senai told me about."
"Senai, huh? That name sounds familiar." He said as he helped the teen down. Senai flew off into the clouds as soon as Ryo had taken her off.
