Chapter 15: A warning
Edge Master had decided that Kilik needed a little more training before going after Soul Edge. Kilik was trained by the master for almost a month in the temple's ruins. They only rested one hour to have lunch and eight hours to sleep.
Edge Master had always appreciated Kilik very much, but now that feeling was turning into love, as if he were his son. Kilik was the only person left to Edge Master and Edge Master was the only person left to Kilik. However, that was enough for both of them.
...
One morning, while Kilik was training with his staff, Edge Master observed him from a distance. Kilik had always been his best pupil, but in the last weeks he had become incredibly better.
Edge Master was lost in thought when he heard a soft but dark voice behind his back.
- You really love him, don't you?
Edge Master turned around, startled. A hooded man was talking to him.
- What?
- The boy. You love him.
- Who are you?
- That doesn't matter. I know you are going after Soul Edge.
- How do…?
- Doesn't matter. I'm here to warn you. You've already lost too many pupils. Losing him as well would be horrible, wouldn't it?
- I'll protect him with my life. I won't let anything happen to him.
- You can listen to my advice or ignore it, but you'd better think with your head and not with your heart. It's just a warning.
- Master! – Kilik yelled.
Edge Master turned around again to pay attention to his pupil.
- Who were you talking to?
- To... – Edge Master was going to point the hooded man, but he had disappeared.
Edge Master was really confused.
- Never mind. Go back to your training. Lunch will be ready in an hour.
- Ok, master.
Kilik went back to training and Edge Master looked around, trying to find any trace of the hooded man. He didn't succeed.
