I warn anyone who reads this: I wrote this when I was 14 and even worse at writing than I am now. Well who cares, here's ch3 of my very first story in an almost unedited format...
CHAPTER 3-FIGHT OR DIE
7 YEARS LATER..... Grrrrllll, that’s the sound of my hungry stomach as walk sluggishly to Dun Aria, city of surprises. And even though I want to get there, I’m pretty much helpless on an empty stomach. “So hungry,” I complain, “have to stop eating all of my rations.” I continue along with my sluggish pace, until I smell the overpowering aroma of grilled chicken. “FOOD!!!” I shout running to the smell Following my nose, I arrive at an average-sized town where everyone is outside cooking lots of food. I see chicken, beef, apples, potatoes, pork, noodles, carrots, everything I love to eat. There was only one problem: NO MONEY. It was kind of evil how there was all of this food around and I couldn’t eat any. What was really wrong was that I hadn’t eaten in over five days. Since no cash meant no meal, I went to the lake at the southern edge of town to try and see if I could catch any fish. While waiting, I heard a scream for help coming from the forest on the other side of the lake. I quickly run into the forest, concentrating so that I could hear where the sound was coming from. After I locate the sound, I run till I see a clearing where a pack of wolves has a raccoon cornered. Even though all of this was going on, I was still a little mystified as to why these cries were coming from a raccoon. Could raccoons even talk? Anyways, the pack consisted of ten wolves who had this raccoon cornered and they all looked as ravenous as I felt. I really didn’t feel like saving the animal but I couldn’t just stand there and watch it be killed. So two kunai, (one per sleeve), fell from my sleeves into my hands and I used my newly perfected technique: Poison Fangs. I dashed in between the pack, lightly jabbing them in the neck, which is the basic premise of the technique. After tagging the entire pack, they all collapsed from paralysis and I resheathed my knives as I went to examine the stunned raccoon. “Are you okay little raccoon?” I question “I’m fine thank you, but even if you hadn’t come along human, I would’ve beaten those wolves by myself,” the raccoon answers “Whoa! You can talk?!?” I say amazed “Well duh, if you’re listening to me, then I must be talking,” it says “I’m not completely sure that you’re talking,” I say, “I mean, maybe I’m so hungry that it just seems like you’re talking to me right now.” “I’m talking to you right now, get used to it,” the raccoon says “Okay, did you hear someone screaming, or was that just you?” I ask “Yes I heard the screaming, and no it wasn’t me,” the raccoon replies “I’m investigating so later,” I say “Wait up, I wanna come too,” the raccoon says “You sure?” I ask “I don’t have anything else to do,” the raccoon answers “Okay then partner,” I say turning to the raccoon, “my name’s Anthony.” “And my name’s Brandon,” Brandon introduces, “I see you’ve got a buster sword that resembles a katana.” “Yeah, I’m a blade master so I can use any kind of blade, but I prefer kunai, katana, shuriken, and hunting knives,” I explain, “Do you use any specific weapons?” “Nothing more than basic ninja tools since I’m a ninja master,” Brandon answers “Nin-nin is cool,” I say “What is Nin-nin?” Brandon asks “Ninjas,” I answer “I’ll ask you now to not say weird things okay?” Brandon asks “I’m not making any promises,” I reply “SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!!!!” a voice cries We go the rest of the way in silence to conceal ourselves until we reach a small clearing where a group of Craidots are trying to eat a girl about my age. The girl was sitting on a high tree branch pelting the Craidots with overripe apples to try to get them to leave her alone, but the carnivorous monsters just ignored her. The head Craidot was ramming the tree and after a particularly hard jolt, the girl fell from the tree into the midst of the Craidots. “We have to do something now,” I say “Really? I didn’t notice,” Brandon says sarcastically “If you’ve got time for sarcasm, then you’ve got time to help me,” I reply, “we go on three, one , two, thr-,” Before I can finish, Brandon has already charged in and K.O.ed all the Craidots in less than ten seconds. “How’d you do that?” I ask amazed “A: What part of “MASTER NINJA” don’t you understand?, and B: tail blade,” he says as he extends the blade “Okay, I’ll go check on the girl,” I say The girl seems really freaked out about what just had just happened, and because of this she prepares to throw an apple. I’m still on guard, but I have no reason to harm her. “Hey, are you okay?” I ask dodging an apple “Go away you freaks, leave me alone!” the girl screams “Hey I’m not going to hurt you, just tell me what happened and where you’re going,” I ask “Did dad send you?” the girl asks “Who’s your dad?” I ask puzzled “That’s all I needed to know,” the girl says, “so I guess that means I’m coming with you guys. Thanks for the save.” “Wait, I thought you wanted us to leave, now you want to come with us? Make up your mind!” I say frustrated “Well that was when I thought you from my dad’s army, but now I can go with you guys because I know that you’ll protect me,” the girl says “Wait, wait, we’re supposed to be protecting you now?” Brandon asks “Is that thing talking to me?” the girl asks “Hey, I’m not a thing, my name is Brandon and I’m the one that saved you from being eaten,” Brandon states “Is he telling the truth?” the girl asks I nod yes. “Thank you Brandon, I’m sorry if I offended you,” the girl apologizes “I guess I’ll accept your apology,” Brandon says “Okay now that that’s out of the way, where are you going?” I question “I was going to the town just ahead,” the girl says “Well, I guess we could escort you to town,” I say, “by the way, my name is Anthony.” “And I’m Cyaia,” Cyaia introduces “Okay Cy, let’s get going before it gets too dark.” Cyaia starts to cry. “What’s wrong?” I ask turning to look at her “It’s nothing,” she says wiping her eyes “If you say so,” I say So we continued back to the town and along the way we had another small conversation. “So Anthony, why do you carry that big sword? It looks pretty heavy,” Cy asks “It’s not that heavy Cy, and I carry it as a reminder of my past,” I answer “So what exactly happened to you?” Brandon asks “Let’s just say that my mom was killed and now I’m going to kill the b*****d that killed her,” I answer “That sounds nice, I’m glad I teamed up with you,” Brandon says “That’s horrible Anthony,” Cy says, “so are you saying you’re all alone?” “Pretty much,” I answered “Then it’s decided,” Cy says “What is?” I ask “That I will be your girlfriend so you aren’t so lonely,” Cy answers “My girlfriend,” I think out loud, “Wait a minute, GIRLFRIEND!!!” “Yes I will be your girlfriend,” Cy states “But we just met, I hardly know you!” I exclaim “Well that’s the beauty of it, we’ll get to know each other as we go along,” Cy says “But don’t we have to know each other a little bit before we do this?” I ask nervously “You and Brandon just saved my life, I think that more than justifies you to be my boyfriend,” Cy says “Yeah, but I hardly know anything about you,” I reply “You know my name right?” Cy asks “Yeah,” I answer “Then we’ll just take the learning from there,” Cy says “Fine,” I say By the end of this conversation, we’re already at the lake so we just go the rest of the way in silence. Cy was really clingy too. It was kind of annoying, but I could deal with it. By sunset, we were standing in front of the mansion in the center of town. “This is where I was coming,” Cy explains, “my uncle and cousin live in this mansion, and I was coming to visit them. But one thing lead to another and that’s how we met.” She knocks on the door and within twenty seconds the door opened. The three of us were ushered into an eloquently designed foyer where a short, fat man was waiting at the foot of the steps. “Ah, Cyaia you’re here,” the man says, “I was so worried when you didn’t show up with the escort.” “Oh uncle, you and dad know that I don’t like that escort,” Cy replies “But we only tell you to stay with them for your safety,” the man says “Fine, I’ll guess I’ll stay with them next time,” Cy complains “By the way, who is this gentleman and why does he have a raccoon?” the man asks “Um, I’m Anthony and-” I start “And I’m Brandon,” Brandon finishes, “and I’m nobody’s pet.” “Very well then,” the man says, “Cyaia why are these two gentlemen here?” “Well, when I snuck off from the escort, I was attacked by Craidots and these two saved me,” Cy answers “Well then we must reward these men for their efforts,” the man says Twenty minutes later, we were seated in the dining room with a feast spread before us. Brandon and me were extremely happy because neither of us had eaten anything in a while and within ten minutes, all the food was eaten between Cyaia, Brandon, and me. (Brandon and me ate the most) After which this conversation followed: “How was the food?” the man asked “It was great Mr.?” I ask “Allow me to introduce myself, I am Faldor,” Faldor introduces “Well thank you very much Faldor,” Brandon thanks “It’s the least I could do for you two protecting Haru,” Faldor says “Who?” I ask “Haru,” he says pointing at Cy “Uncle you know I don’t like that name,” Cy says annoyed “Why is her nickname Haru?” Brandon asks “Cyaia is the only child of my younger brother,” Faldor begins, “it was a rainy spring day the day she was born, as such her father wanted to name her Harusame which is Japanese for spring rain. But Cyaia’s mother, being very stubborn, forced her father to allow her be named Cyaia. Her father still refers to her as Haru, so the name kind of stuck.” “But now I actually know someone who’ll call me Cy,” Cy says, “by the way uncle, where is Elizabeth?” “I fear she’s come down with an unknown ailment,” Faldor answers “What! Please take me to her,” Cy asks So we follow Faldor to Elizabeth’s room where she is staring out of her window. “Liz, are you okay?” Cy asks “Please leave me,” Liz says in a warped voice “What do you mean, I’m here to help,” Cy says “Just go,” Liz replies “I won’t,” Cy says defiantly “That boy,” Liz says turning around and pointing at me, “his effort is meaningless. He shall never avenge his mother. He shall lose his life in his pursuit of his goal. And the light that now sustains his being, shall be corrupted by the darkness inflicted upon him by one more powerful than he.” I was getting angry, but I didn’t let it show. “Hey Brandon, see what I see?” I ask “How could I not? It’s in plain sight,” Brandon answers “What do you mean?” Cy asks “She’s possessed,” Brandon answers “All right ghost, get out here so I can kick your a**,” I demand A dark cloud removes itself from around Liz’s body and manifests itself as a see-through knight. Even as a ghost, his battle aura gave off incredibly powerful waves. “Very perceptive young ones,” the ghost compliments “Hey Brandon, can you guard these guys while I take care of our guest?” I ask “No problem, just make sure you don’t die,” Brandon replies “Sure thing partner,” I say So the ghost and I leave the mansion as a thunder storm rolls in. We’re standing next to the lake as the rain starts to fall. I choose this time to start my interrogation. “Why’d you possess Liz?” I ask “I’ll tell if you defeat me in battle,” the ghost answers “You got a name?” I ask “I am known to some as the Mizuna Ryu,” the ghost replies “You’re the Water Dragon?” I say puzzled “I see you know Japanese,” Dragon says “Just a little,” I state “Very well then, let us begin,” Dragon announces As I draw the four-foot katana I forged from my back, Dragon also draws his sword, which seems to be the only of him that existed in the physical plane. I take up a defensive stance as I’m attacked by Dragon. As he strikes, I block his attack, but there was the loud sound of the clang of metal on metal. When Dragon slashes next time, I side step it and counterattack with a slice to his arms. Unfortunately, I forgot that Dragon’s body doesn’t exist in this plain of existence meaning that my attack did nothing. For a while I just evaded Dragon’s attacks as I contemplated a plan to attack back. As the thunder rumbled overhead, I got an idea. “THUNDER!!!” I shout After I finish saying the word, a large thunderbolt struck Dragon’s sword. This move had two distinctive advantages. One, Dragon was paralyzed, and two was that he was solid. With my opportunity presenting itself, I dashed over and sliced off his arms and legs. Now I like looking at and drinking blood a lot, but if Dragon lost too much blood, I wouldn’t be able to get much information out of him. I healed his wounds to stumps and continued my previous interrogation. “Why did you possess Liz?” I demand “I possessed the girl because I was the guardian of her power,” Dragon answers “What power?” I question “At a precise point during the full moon, if the girl’s blood is spilled at the edge of the continent, the moon shall glow blood red-” Dragon begins “Yay! Blood red!” I exclaim, “excuse me, please continue.” “As I was saying,” Dragon continues, “when the moon is blood red, the pathway to the Hell Continent’s path shall reveal itself.” “What’s the Hell Continent?” I ask “It’s the only place you’ll find a way to defeat Greisblade,” Dragon answers, “I have no reason to exist in this plane of existence, now finish me.” Granting his wish, I slice off his head granting him a painless death. I bury his body and head back to the house. Once inside, I go to check on Liz in her room, but nobody’s there. I go through the rest of the house and find no one. As I go to get some water, I hear talking coming from the dining room. I walk in while drinking my water to find Liz eating as much as Brandon and I were earlier. I was kind of surprised to see this, but then she was eating like I eat normally. “I guess Liz is back to normal?” I ask “Yeah,” Cy replies, “after you left, she just woke up and started asking for food. It seems that when Liz was possessed, she didn’t eat a lot.” When Liz sees me, she stops eating and comes over to talk to me. I’m kinda nervous because I don’t know why she would want to talk to me. “Domo arigatou gozaimasu,” Liz says bowing “Hey you don’t have to be so formal Liz,” I say “I just thought that the circumstances were appropriate,” Liz states, “and even though you know my name, I would like to formally introduce as Elizabeth-; hey wait a minute, I don’t have a last name!” “None of us do either!” everyone else shouts in unison “Hey you stupid writer, give us last names!” Liz shouts at the writer “Do you want me to stop writing this story?” the writer says threateningly “Gomennasai writer-san,” everyone apologizes Continuing on... “And I’m Anthony,” I reply, “hajimemashite.” “Likewise,” Liz replies “Enough with the freaking Japanese already!” Brandon says pissed, “some of us would like to know what you’re talking about, so please stop the language hopping.” “Gomen Brandon,” Liz and I say in unison “Whatever,” Brandon says walking away “As I was saying, I’d like to thank you for helping me,” Liz thanks “No prob,” I say nonchalantly, “by the way, is it okay for me to call you Liz?” “Sure thing, I mean it’s the least I could do,” Liz says, “anyway, would you like to join me for dinner?” Now even though I had just eaten half an hour ago, I was still hungry, so how could I refuse? “Hai!” I say happily So Liz and I cleaned out the all of the food on the table and Cy, Brandon, Liz, and I went up to the library to do some reading. (Yes, the house is big enough to have a library!) We spend the rest of the night reading until we all fall asleep. I start to dream about the normal stuff: drinking Craidot blood, for some reason me eating Brandon, how Cy became my girlfriend, and some other things too. Then after all the stupid stuff left, I had a truly disturbing dream. A shadowy figure stood at the edge of a cliff overlooking the sea. As the moon rose into a starless sky, I saw the figure remove a corpse from a sack. The body gave off a familiar presence, but I couldn’t identify who it was. The figure removed a small dagger from its cloak and cut open the stomach of the girl. Dark spirits rose from the earth and proceeded to rob the girl of all her entrails but her heart. In taking the organs, the spirits began to ravage the soft pockets of bloody tissue. I didn’t pay much attention to the carnivorousness of the spirits, for I was entranced by the figure. The figure was chanting some kind of spell, which caused the girl’s heart to rise from her desecrated corpse into the light of the full moon. As the heart pulsed, the moon steadily turned the scarlet hue of blood red. The smell of decay grows stronger with each passing moment, overwhelming all of my senses. As I stagger forward to the body, the figure fades away in a pool of darkness. I really don’t care about the figure because laying in front of me all mutilated is Liz! “NO!!!” I yell waking up “What? What is it? Somebody trying to kill us?” Brandon asks disoriented “It’s nothing,” I lie “Sounded like something to me,” Brandon says “Just drop it,” I say flatly, “where are the girls?” “Don’t ask me,” Brandon answers So we wander through the house until the only room left is the kitchen. As Brandon and I enter, we see lots of food everywhere and wonder why Cy and Liz cooked all of it. “Who’s all this food for?” Brandon asks “GET OUT!!!” Cy and Liz shout “What do you mean “Get Out”?” Brandon counters “GET OUT!!!” Cy and Liz shout Liz and Cy push us out of the kitchen quickly for no reason. I’m confused as to what they’re doing in there. “Can we get some food?” I ask “One minute,” Liz answers The door barely opens as a tray with two plates of eggs, bacon, and toast with Bloamberry jelly and two glasses filled with Pomberry juice are shoved at us as the kitchen door was slammed in our face. “Okay, that was weird,” Brandon says So Brandon and I eat our hastily made breakfast, which was really good, and start talking when Faldor shows up. “Boys, boys, I need to talk to you for a second,” Faldor says “What is it sir?” I ask “It seems that Liz and Haru want to go to the festival in Dun Aria and it starts tomorrow,” Faldor explains “And you’re telling us this why?” Brandon asks “Well, the girls seem to like you a lot, so I was wondering if you would escort them,” Faldor asks “No problem,” I answer, “I was heading that way anyway.” “Thank you,” Faldor thanks, “I’ll go tell the girls.” “I wouldn’t do that if I were-” I start “GET OUT!!!” I hear the girls shout followed by a bang and a thud “you,” I finish too late Brandon goes to check on Faldor while I take my time walking over to the unconscious body. I arrive just as Brandon finishes surveying the damage. “He’s just stunned, he’ll be better after a nap,” Brandon says “Tried to warn him too little, too late,” I say We ask some of the servants to take Faldor to his room and then we wait for the girls. We check back every now and then, but the girls are still cooking. Around three, Brandon and I head out to the lake for a sparring match. It was nothing too serious, just a test of the other’s skills. And then the girls showed up. “Hey boys,” Cy says, “we’re done, so meet us with your stuff in front of the house okay.” “Yep, we’ll be waiting,” Liz says “Is it me, or are those two acting weird?” I ask Brandon “Amazingly, it’s not just you,” Brandon replies So Brandon and I get our things and meet the girls at the door. “Why were you two acting so weird this morning?” Brandon asks “We were busy and you guys would have just gotten in the way,” Cy says “We really didn’t mean to act so mean, but we didn’t want anyone to know what we were doing,” Liz says “So what were you doing?” I ask “Not telling,” Cy and Liz say in unison “Okay, now that that’s settled, what are we doing?” Brandon asks “Well,” Liz starts, “dad said that you two would escort us to the festival, why don’t we go to Dun Aria?” “Fine, but if we don’t hurry, then it’s going to be dark before we get there,” I say So we set out at around three-forty and got to Dun Aria around seven. We went Cy’s house. By house, I mean a mansion so big it could be classified as a castle or a manor. When we got inside we found Cy’s parents, Lord Edge and Lady Miyu, waiting to greet us. During the introductions I noticed that Edge was glaring at me. And that made the atmosphere very uncomfortable. So we all had dinner, a bath in his private onsen, clean clothes, nice rooms, and $2000 spending money for the fair tomorrow. So there I was, asleep in my bed, when I partially wake up to see a whatever it is glinting in the dim moonlight. I roll out of bed just as the thing makes contact with my pillow. I dive for my shoes to retrieve the daggers concealed within the soles. After taking the daggers out, I block the assassin’s attack. I decided to strike back and stop defending. As I did, I made contact with the assassin’s mask causing it to fall off cleanly. “Lord Edge!” I say stunned “Are you really that surprised that I attacked you?” Edge asks “No, not really, I was kind of expecting you to do it sooner,” I reply “Oh,” Edge says stupidly “So why did you attack me?” I ask “As you probably know, I don’t like the fact that Cyaia is so attached to you,” Edge explains, “but I will give my consent only if you win at the fighting tournament tomorrow.” “What’s my motivation?” I ask “Besides my consent, your life,” Edge says flatly “Why do I have to do this?” I ask “To live you idiot!” Edge shouts “Okay just had to make sure,” I say “What does my daughter see in you?” Edge asks confused “Honestly, I don’t even know the answer to that question,” I answer “Will you accept my conditions?” Edge asks “I don’t have anything to lose,” I say Edge leaves the room and after getting dressed, I went for a walk around town. Now since the town is so big, by the time I got back to the house, everyone else was just waking up. Brandon and I go out to eat breakfast, while the girls get ready at the house. When we get back, we meet the girls and go to the festival. We spent the entire day playing games and dancing and eating, and it was all good. Then I went to the arena for the tournament. When it came time to draw lots for the fight pairings, I was surprised to see Brandon there. “I thought you were with Cy and Liz,” I say “Was with them,” Brandon says, “after you left, I told them I was in the tournament and they went off to the seats that Edge had given them for the lord’s box. They said that they would cheer for both of us.” “Well, at least we know they’re safe,” I say There was sixteen of us including me and Brandon. After drawing lots, I was #5 and Brandon was #1. Brandon’s match was against a Rougewind named Valdon, and I was to fight a female Mirou named Gabrielle. The first eight rounds were over pretty fast. Brandon had Valdon beat in ten seconds, round two was won by forfeit, I won by hitting a pressure point that made Gabrielle fall asleep, and the rest of the fights combined took about an hour. Since Brandon and I had made it to the semi-finals, we had planned to split the prize when we won. The semi-final pairing were: in round one, Brandon versus #4 Matt; and I was to fight #8 Xaires. In Brandon and Matt’s fight, Brandon lost, but it took an hour for the fight to end because of how evenly matched they were. My fight against Xaires wasn’t so long; I spent one minute studying his moves, and after one punch to the face, Xaires was unconscious. After I win my fight, I go to the medical tent so that I could beat up Brandon, but he wasn’t there. Apparently, the girls came and got him after his fight and healed him with magic. (They knew magic?) When I learn this, I go back to the arena and prepare to fight Matt. At the sound of the gong, I draw Zetsukanto, (regular sized katana) my favorite katana and Matt materialized a shotgun. “You can materialize guns!?” I ask stunned “Yes dumbass,” Matt says Then Matt let loose round after round to deaden my corpse. I wasn’t just gonna sit there and die, so I deflected as many shots as I could while moving in closer without getting my head blown off. When I got close enough, Matt started using dual pistols and I was really being kept on my toes. As I backed off, Matt closed the gap and I was seeing quadruple. “What the hell?” I ask confused “As you can see, I’m a penguin,” Matt starts, “but I’m also a ninja and a pirate.” “Ninja-pirate penguin?” I think to myself In two seconds the Matts had me surrounded and were all creating photon cannons. “Say goodbye dumbass,” the Matts say “Fudgemonkies,” I say Now you would think I would have some time to get out of the way, but these cannons were charged to the max at creation. I was trapped with no way to protect myself and I had nowhere to go.... except up! So I took Remembrance (buster sword) and plunged it into the ground and used it to boost my jump just as the beams were reflected off of the blade. I was safe and I was in a position to strike back. So I roll up my sleeves to reveal the small knives I have strapped to my arms. “Raining Blades!” I shout Unfortunately, Matt just scattered my knives with a few kunai, and then Matt and his clones shot at me again with the photon cannons, and this time I was a sitting duck. The blasts hit their mark, and everyone was sure that Matt had won. They were all wrong. Everyone was stunned as descended from the sky. “WTF?!” Matt asks “Hello Matt,” I say in a warped voice “What happened to you?” Matt asks “What do you mean?” I continue, “I’ve always been like this.” When I land, I pull Remembrance from the ground and it gains a dark aura. I felt my consciousness slipping as I lost my body to the same aura. As I try to hold on, I’m forced into darkness by a sinister presence. When I wake up, I’m in a bed surrounded by Cy, Liz, and Brandon who all look relieved. “Where am I?” I ask “You’re in your room in my house,” Cy says “Wasn’t I in the middle of a fight?” I ask “Keyword: was,” Liz says “All I can remember right know is blacking out after grabbing Remembrance,” I say “You’re right and wrong,” Brandon says “Care to explain?” I ask “Well, if you blacked out, then your body must have controlling itself, because you nearly leveled half the town,” Brandon explains “Okay, tell me what happened,” I say “Well,” Brandon starts, “you started glowing black, then you beat Matt in one move, then you left the arena and started destroying the town. Edge tried to stop you, but you just shrugged him off and he was knocked out. And then when Cy tried to stop you, you were about to kill her, but some part of you stopped yourself and you changed back to normal.” “I did all that? That kinda sounds like fun, except the killing people part,” I say, “Is Matt okay?” “He’s fine, he’ll just be out for a couple of days,” Liz says “That’s good,” I say relieved, “oh yeah, how did Cy stop me?” “I-I-I-I,” Cy stutters while blushing “What?” I ask calmly “I-I-I-I,” Cy continues “Go on and tell him,” Liz says “Tell me what?” I ask “T-that I-I-I,” Cy keeps going “WHAT!?!” I shout “I kissed you,” Cy whispers “Huh?” I ask leaning in closer “I KISSED YOU!!!” Cy shouts “You kissed me?’ I ask “Hai,” Cy replies “Well this sucks,” I complain, “I wasn’t even conscious to get my first kiss.” “So you’re not mad at me?” Cy asks “Not at all, but I do need to talk to you alone,” I say loudly Brandon and Liz leave the room. “Why did you try to stop me?” I ask “Because I didn’t want you to hurt people,” Cy answers “Did you ever think that I could’ve killed you?” I ask seriously “No because I knew that you wouldn’t,” Cy replies “Did you ever think that I wasn’t the one controlling my body?” I ask “What do you mean?” Cy asks I roll up my left sleeve and show Cy how my arm, from my elbow to my hand, is covered in the curse mark. “I got this mark after losing to Greisblade and it’s possessed by someone or thing named ‘Twilight‘,” I explain “So why are you telling me this?” Cy asks “You need to know just in case this happens again,” I say “Well, no matter how much you’re struggling, just know that I’ll always love you,” Cy says “I appreciate the sentiment, but I can’t stay around you if I’m constantly putting you in danger,” I say “I don’t care about that,” Cy says “But I do, and I’ll feel bad if you’re hurt because of me,” I say, “besides, what kind of boyfriend would I be if I let you get hurt? Don’t worry, I promise I’ll be back when this is all over.” “If you’re really telling the truth, then you’ll take this,” Cy says handing me something “What is it?” I ask “It’s a mini-version of you, and if its still in one piece when you come back, then I know you truly love me,” Cy says “Okay, I’ll do it!” I say excited, “now if you’d excuse me, I need to sleep.” “Good night,” Cy says I go to sleep in about one minute and Cyaia sits there staring at me. Then she kisses me and leaves the room. “I hope you have all the good fortune you can on your quest,” Cy says
