Chapter 10: The Wandering Soul

Night's POV

As we continued, to finding the elshards. The group decided to stop to camp. Everyone, was sitting down chatting, and eating food. I however was sitting alone, on a cliff.

"Something wrong?" Blaze asked.

"Nothing really, I just wondered why my mother abandon me." I replied.

"I thought you said, you weren't bothered by it." He replied.

"Yeah, but this always haunt me. Even when I sleep, who am I really? I wonder." I replied to Blaze.

"Well, for one thing. We were given a special role to protect Elrios." Blaze replied.

"Your right. I should worry about the future. Thanks Blaze." I replied. He patted me on the head.

"No problem, buddy." He replied. We then heard a scream.

"That's Chi's voice." I replied.

"We better check it out." Blaze responded. We then, hurried back to camp and saw that Skarm and Nyte were unconscious bleeding and saw the girls captured except for Mayumi, which hasn't been seen. By three hooded figures.

"Blaze take care of them, I got to tend to these two wounds." I replied. Nyte then opened his eyes and replied,

"Night..." He groaned.

"What is it?" I replied. He then replied as best as he can.

"Run...These guys are..."

"Are what?" I asked.

"They're...here...for...you.." He then fell unconscious. I didn't heed Nyte's warning and started to tend to his wounds.

Blaze, was facing the three hooded figure, he then grabbed out his minigun mod and started shooting at them. The bullets manage to land some scratches on their hood and we saw who they were.

"Grr, damn it you caught us." It was that girl, from before that tried to kill me.

"What do you want?!" Blaze shouted.

"Simple, we want the boy you call Night." A man replied.

"What do you mean?" I replied.

"You see young man, you have a power. That we need to achieve our goal, and the only way to do that is to take the power from you." The man replied.

"And why should I?!" I replied.

Each of them, hold a blade on all the girls neck.

"Will kill these four." He replied.

My eyes widen, what should I do.

Suddenly, Mayumi and stabbed one of them. Hakuhen and the men splitted, leaving the girls unharmed.

"Mayumi, take care of them. I'm going after the man. Blaze after the girl." I replied.

"Got it." Blaze responded.

I then run to find the man, I couldn't find him anywhere. Suddenly he choked me from behind.

"Hah, and you call yourself a leader." He replied. I then bit his arm, he then let go and I got into my battle stance.

"Grr, that hurt." He then had that face, and after a while he smirked and started to laugh.

"HAHAHAHA." He laughed evilly.

"Whats so funny?" I replied.

"Tell me boy, whats make you tick?" He replied.

"Huh?" I was bewildered.

"What makes you want, to continue on fighting. To protect Elrios?" He said.

"I get it, from the friends and people that I want to protect." I replied.

"Friends, that you want to protect. How pathetic, listen boy. I'm only going to tell you this once. The reasons you'll fall and eventually will be destroyed, will be because of your friend." He said.

"Huh, what?" I asked.

Just before, I could get any answers. I felt something stab my back, it was a sword how did it get there. My conscious started to fade and soon I laid down unconscious.

"Am I dead?" I thoughted.
