Chapter: The Grim
Duo growled out in frustration for the millionth time in the two days that he'd been locked up in the damp cell. It smelled like death. There where a few skeletons that Duo felt were starring at him. It was dark most of the time. It was damp. Did I mention it smelled? Duo growled again and banged his head lightly on the wall behind him. Those stupid, ugly bastards hadn't even been down to feed him, of give him water, or even start there 'evil' plan, so why the hell was Duo here. He was really starting to hate Kyr and the gods. He just really hoped that Quatre and the others were okay. He wished that Heero was okay.
"Geez, this is so stupid. What the hell have I gotten myself into this time?" Duo sighed and closed his eyes to get some sleep. But seeing as today was not his lucky day, sleep was not on the agenda and the door to his cell opened. Duo opened his eyes and starred at the person who was now standing in his stall. "What the hell do you want?" Duo asked.
"You of course. I think it is time that you join us Duo. We know who you are, there's no hiding it." The old man with a mushroom dome like hair style said. Duo smiled and shock his head.
"You know what? You're an idiot. You come in here telling me to join you when you've held me in this cell for at least two days without food or water. Then you tell me you know who I am and that there is no point in hiding it when I fucking showed you who I was." Duo stood and glared death at the man before him. "How stupid can this get?" He asked.
"Do not take us as stupid, Duo. We know that Kyr sent you here, and we also know why he sent you here, but you see we have other plans for you." The man stepped forward and grabbed the chain that hung loosely from Duo's neck. As soon as he touched it, electricity shot from the chain into Duo's body. Duo screamed out as he fell to the ground, violently jerking before finally becoming deathly still.
-----(Heero and the others)-----
"Heero, you have said a damn word since you 'appeared'." Trowa said trying to get what the hell was going on from his brother. They were still galloping towards the home of the Tholi Jhyl, had been for two days now, and Heero was looking like he was going to kill everything. Trowa was starting to feel uncomfortable about his glare. Wufei was irritated to the point of silence. Quatre was tired beyond all reason; Treize and Zechs were ready to call it quiets if Heero didn't say something.
"All of our lives are being played with. Like we are some kind of dolls. It's going to stop, and I'm going to kill them all." Heero said. Trowa lifted an eye brow.
"What happened when you disappeared?" Trowa asked. That finally made Heero stop the horses and he told them what had happened. They didn't dismount while Heero spoke. Quatre backed Heero's story up with the little he knew from what Apollo had told him, which happened to be what Kyr had told Heero. Heero noticed that Quatre was riding one of the horses that were left behind from the ambush and not Apollo.
"Where's Apollo?" Heero asked.
"I don't know he left when you disappeared." Quatre said.
"We need to keep going though. Duo's already been with them for two days."
"Heero, it's a three day trip. He's not there yet, we only left two hours after they caught him." Trowa pointed out.
"I have a feeling that if the Tholi Jhyl had the power and ability to gather that many creatures against us, then they have means to travel faster. I don't know I just have a really bad feeling about all of this." Heero said and without another word kicked his horse into a hard gallop. Trowa caught up with him quickly.
"Heero if we keep going like this we are going to be tired and hardly ready for battle." He pointed out.
"Then stay behind." Heero said.
-----(Tholi Jhyl)-----
Duo woke up sometime later chained to a wall in a large thrown room. He was getting so tired of chains. Then he noticed that he was naked and immediately wanted to kill someone right then. How dare they take his cloths. He sighed and rolled his eyes as a large group of creatures started flooding into the room.
They lined up a few feet away from Duo all on there knees like they were bowing to someone. Then the Tholi Jhyl entered the room and stood in between the mass numbers of creatures and Duo, there backs to Duo as the addressed the group.
"The gods have been in control for far too long. It is time that the immortals of Kelas take there place in the thrones of the heavens. We will kill the gods who have so easily cast us away to live in a hell of pain and sorrow." G said lifting his hands over his head.
"Guess you can't have a true villain without a ridiculous speech." Duo said, rolling his eyes. G ignored him.
"We will begin with the sacrifice of the immortal body of Grim and trap the god of death himself in our clutches to help us kill those who can not die." Duo laughed, this was ridiculous. These idiots wouldn't be able to kill the gods so why were they even going to try. Duo found himself having respect for those who had tried talking over Kelas rather then trying to take over the heavens. Then G turned to him with a silver knife in his hands and Duo's stopped laughing. He knew those knife some how. Then it came to him.
"That's the fates knife, how did you get you dirty hands on it?" Duo asked. That knife was the knife that killed gods when it was there time. That knife was what the fates used to end lives. No one was supposed to have it but them.
"My dear child do you not remember who we are?" Duo frowned then, memories flooded his head, like a damn had been broken. He pulled against the chain. He really just wanted to be gone from here. He no longer found this funny. He had thought that this was an attempt from immortals to fight the gods he know realized it was the fates against Kyr.
"Gyle." Duo whispered then tried harder the get away as the old man came closer to him. G cupped Duo's face in his hand and spoke to the boy so low that no one else in the room would hear.
"My dear child, we punished you before. But they sent you back. They were fools to bring you back, and we had been fools to kill you in the first place. But thanks to them they fixed our error and now our plan can be put into action. Only Duo will die, not Grim. Grim will live and Grim will kill the gods for us." Duo shook his head, tears streaming down his checks as G brought the knife up.
"No, please…I don't want to kill anyone. I made a promise. I can't" Duo pleas fell on a deaf ears and the knife plunged into his chest. Duo went limp in the chains and blood streamed from the knife. G backed up and waited. As the blood poured to the ground it also rose into the air and swirled around. The creatures in the room took a step back in fear was a much larger creature formed before them.
The creature was huge and covered in a black cloak that hooded his face. Bright violet eyes glowed through the blackened hood and starred at the creatures in the room. Large wings rested over the creature, dripping blood to the ground in a never ended rhythm. His cloak seemed to be slowly runny to the ground like blood running down human skin. Long fingers made from only bone stuck out from the sleeves, one hand curled around a silver scythe handle with a blazing green blade. The creature took a step forward and the much smaller creatures took a step back.
Then there was a glow around the creature of death, and the Tholi Jhyl started chanting (not the pretty chanting either) and chains shot up from the ground and wrapped themselves around the creatures form. The creature pulled at them, but they only tightened. It cried out in frustration and swiped its scythe, but the weapon was caught by a few chains and pulled to the ground.
G turned to the crowded room with a smirk.
"This, my friends, it the Grim and he is ours.
-----(Heero and the group)-----
Quatre fell from his horse clutching his heart. He laid on the ground and screamed as, to the others, it looked like he was trying to rip his heart out. Heero turned his horse around, as did the others, and got off to help Quatre.
"Duo…he's…no…Grim…" Quatre curled up and screamed in a pure rage his back bulged up and white feathered wings ripped through the skin, dripping blood. Quatre stood, pushing the others away from him and took off into the air towards where the Grim was calling to him. Without saying a word the others followed, but quickly lost sight of the flying boy.
