Chapter 8
Third Person POV
When Dan and the others saw the Forest Spirit, they were in shock.
"That's the Forest Spirit?" Mira asked shocked.
Skyress looked up. "It is almost time," he muttered.
"Time? For what?" Julie asked.
"When day becomes night, the Forest Spirit turns into, what people call, the Night Walker," Skyress explained vaguely.
They watched in shock as the Forest Spirit touched the boar god and he fell dead. Moro soon followed.
"I don't get it. The Forest Spirit took their life away," Ace muttered.
The Forest Spirit turned to the sky as the stars came out. His body began to turn into a starry like mass and his horns elongated and began to curve down his back as his neck grew tall.
A click was heard and he turned to see Marou trying the fire her gun. Plants began to intertwine on it and he turned back.
"You think that's enough to stop me," Marou muttered.
"Marou don't!" Alice exclaimed. She reached her hand out a ball of energy shot from it. It knocked the gun to the side but didn't stop Marou. She simply smirked at Alice before taking aim and firing.
It went straight through the Spirit's neck and its head fell to the ground. Everyone gasped in shock.
Shun began to fight trying to get out of Alice's hold. "Hurry, get the head with that box of your," Marou answered.
Three people in red and white cloaks ran forward with a metal box in hand. They carefully lifted the head and ran off with the head in the box.
They watched as the body of the Forest Spirit began to shed leaving a black mass moving around. The mass split apart, the pieces flung everywhere. Everything they touched, it killed. As it came towards Alice's friends, she flung her arm up not knowing what would happen. A shield of light formed around them and the black mass went around the shield.
They looked at Alice shocked who was just as shocked. "Alice, Shun!" Mana called. "Get to the Spirit Island. The spiritual barrier there will protect you."
Alice looked as Moro's head moved and bit off Marou's arm. Alice winced at the sight of blood. She swam over with Shun and placed him next to Mana and Klyn before running over and grabbing Marou.
She ducked the two under as the black masses began to fly over and join together. Alice brought her onto the island. She wrapped the wound with her jacket.
"Let me at her! I'll slit her throat!" Shun yelled running up.
"No, she's hurt enough. You're mother saw to that," Alice said. Shun grunted in anger.
Alice looked up and saw the black mass grow high and tall. The top of its body spread apart and black hands poured down.
"It must be looking for its head," Shun said.
'The city…' Alice thought. She turned to Dan. "Dan, that shield should hold until you get to the city. You need to get everyone out and to the water. It will slow the black mist down!" Alice ordered.
"No! We're not leaving you!" Runo refused.
"Do you want the entire city to die?!" Alice retorted. Runo and the others flinched at her voice. "Just go!"
Dan yanked at Runo and pulled her with the others. "Alice, you better come back alive!" he yelled.
"We need to get to that box! We need to give it back its head," Shun said.
Alice created a bubble around Marou. "This will keep you safe. But if you ever try to hurt the wolf gods, I'll let them kill you," Alice threatened. Marou nodded.
She got on Mana's back and Shun got on Klyn's. They took off faster than usual trying to locate the head.
They looked towards where the hands were chased and saw the four men carrying the box running up the hill.
"There!" Shun pointed. The two humans and two wolves dashed in front of the men and stopped them.
"Hey, what's the deal?" yelled the one in the front right. "We need to get this head over the hill."
"You're not getting that far," Alice said.
"Alice?" Hydranoid called noticing her unusual tone.
"I'm fine Hydranoid. I'm just protecting what's right," Alice responded. Hydranoid accepted this having seen it once before when Shadow Prove attacked her and she turned a bit into Masquerade.
Alice looked as a black hand blocked the entrance behind them. The box fell as they jumped and black liquid began to pour out. Three of the men were engulfed in the slime and were promptly killed. The man, who was the one that talked, caught the box as it rolled onto a rock.
Alice and Shun ran up. "We're trapped," the man said. "Great, we can all die together."
"We are going to return its head," Shun said sternly.
"Why? The sun's almost up. As soon as that sun's up, he'll disappear like a bad dream," the man responded.
"We are returning its head," Alice repeated. "Do you want everyone to die?"
"N-No…" he answered.
"Then give us his head," Shun pushed.
The man sighed in defeat and gave him the box. Alice and Shun removed the metal rod that sealed it and opened the box. Inside green, blood like goo floating around the head.
"Hydranoid, move to the side. You might get hurt," Alice ordered. Her voice told Hydranoid, there was no arguing. He moved off her shoulder and hovered to the side.
Alice and Shun picked up the head and held it above them. "Forest Spirit!" Alice called.
"Take back your head, please! And bear no ill will to the humans!" Shun finished.
The top of its body looked down. The green blood dripped onto Alice and Shun and black and purple lines began to form on their skin. Alice looked at it shocked. But Shun wrapped one arm around her body bringing her close. She turned back to the Forest Spirit who leaned down. Its body created a neck that crashed down on Alice and Shun.
The last thing they saw was a bright light and wind speed through them.
