“Chaos energy doesn’t work here.” Jun watched as Jiro lost hope in his eyes for a minute.“I was able to do that because I don’t use chaos energy.” Jun smiled at the expression Jiro had on his face.“Leave now!” Jun pushed him out of the reach of the creature that dived toward him. He wasn’t with his sword but he could take a few on. It would be suicide but he couldn’t run away, again. He ran through the many that congregated on Jun only for them to turn into dust. Dust got into his nostrils; his loud cough was like a deep cleanser of his system.***“Where am I?”The loud cough and question got everyone back to where the beds were erected. “Wow,” Jay marveled.“Who is that?” Jiro pointed at the stranger floating in the air.“Welcome back.” Kakashi ran to hug him. Jiro groaned a bit as he broke the contact as soon as it was initiated. “I hate this guy,” Kakashi said beneath his breath.Jiro sauntered away from where they crowded and he sat on what he deemed a comfortable seat. “W
“He just appeared when everyone left...” Jiro thought out loud“Um, you think it’s fishy?” Kakashi added“I don’t know, but we will find out.” Jiro replied, “We definitely will.”“So, who saved you?” Kakashi broke the thought process that was going on in Jiro’s head“What?” Jiro’s face had confusion written over it.“When you were unconscious, you said the stranger didn’t come to save you, right? So, who saved you?” Kakashi explained“A girl.” Jiro hoped that would answer the question, although he knew Kakashi would probe.“Well, that’s not the floating guy,” Kakashi added.Jiro rolled his eyes. How was he going to tell this story now? Jun, Jun Anju... “Hey!” Jay’s breath deserted him as he bent over his knees to regain it. Jiro and Kakashi looked at him with curiosity etched on their faces while they stayed silent through his recovery. “I’ve been looking everywhere for you both.” Jay reached for his glasses to assist its comfort on his face. Jiro was eager to hear what the boy b
Jiro joined in holding the boy down. “So, we haven’t talked about Jun Anju,” Kakashi whispered to Jiro in anticipation.“What about her?” Zoa appeared from nowhere.“Are you eavesdropping on our conversation? And where did you even come from? You just came out of the blue.” Kakashi tried to stifle the smirk that threatened to creep up on his face.Jay coughed as if to warn Kakashi of the consequences he had to live with for a long time. Jiro was looking down at the person he was in charge of. He was unbothered, or maybe he hid his burden well. The bed stands began shaking, they shook forcefully to the rhythm of the body above it. “Get there now! Hold her down!” Doctor Hiro ran from the corner where he waited to the bed, dishing out instructions to everyone about how to contain Tanya Flowers.***Tanya was blessed with the chaos energy that scattered across when chaos masters fought. Tanya suffered from a speech impediment at a young age. Her tongue always weighed heavier than her m
“She has stopped moving,” Jay announced as they all watched the bed still, and the noise quenched. “We can see that” Kakashi’s tone was calm as he moved closer to the bed Tanya slept. The room went dark and cold rushed through the bodies of everyone standing. The doors creaked open but the room somehow got even darker. “What is going on?” Jay was jittery. Everyone could tell when he inhaled and exhaled; it was both the silence that sheltered the room, and his fear that could’ve gone toe-to-toe. Everyone got closer, forming a circle. They both looked from every corner to what was the cause of the darkness and cold. “Look.” Jiro pointed at the stranger. His chaos energy was dwindling, his hands looked too heavy to carry it. A bead of sweat rolled down his face but his position remained the same. A sudden heavy crash to the floor caused Zoa and Kakashi to jump in fear. Their eyes could have passed for an ornament at this point. “What was that?” Doctor Hiro couldn’t see, but his
The sky’s shadow grew bigger; its thick chunks of flesh travelled from opposite sides to gather in one accord as they cast their shadows over the heat from the light above. Doctor Haishi Aang looked up to the realization of the obvious eventuality that awaited this gathering in the sky. It was a new day and he was still far away from his destination. The road was a deserted road plied by mostly raiders and warriors. It was rare for any one person to travel the lonely road all by himself.He knew it would take a long time to travel and that was why he decided to take the shorter, less solely travelled road. He hoped he would be back to the academy in time to save the kids.‘You still need to persuade Oz to follow you back to the school.’ His mind reminded him of how much work still awaited him.He heaved a sigh; he had forgotten how much strength would be needed to persuade the wizard to join him in his journey back to Godlinkers High. He had been overwhelmed with the journey so far
A loud chatter from far away chiseled into Doctor Haishi’s ears. His eyes overcame their shyness and let themselves open up gradually. They were in the woods. Light beamed from three tents, while some people slept on the ground and he could see two men standing, mugs in hand. The fresh bones left to the ground to feed on, cups rolling in rhythm to the waves of new beats the wind produced, and the crackling fires that introduced to his nostrils, a sudden feeling and a new desire, all suggested a possible feast had gone down. Doctor Haishi groaned as he made to stand. His body felt overweight and restricted. He was lucky people came to his rescue before the snake had kissed him. He hated snakes, right from when he was a little boy. Why did they always have to move deceitfully? And what was the need for their tongues to taste the air? His hatred for the cunning beasts extended to its whole family of reptiles. Of all the worries that didn’t look left or right before crossing his mind
The rain had stopped a few hours ago, but the trees’ inability to keep secrets would have informed you of the rain falling. Earth wasn’t left out as it became darker and soaked. The clouds might have given way for the sun to shine through the sky, but the lit moon took its time to shine. It liked the attention it got, so it took more time to soak it all up. The birds took to their heels as the tree branches were ruffled by the super speed of the doctor who ran for his life. His occasional bumping into things didn’t seem like it hurt him. His lungs must also wish to not die because they never showed their pain. Doctor Haishi took a halt as he listened to hear the sound that had just flown past his ears. The chirping of birds, the hisses he couldn’t differentiate but hoped weren’t snakes, tree branches breaking, the whistling of hunters... each sound, no matter how low they were, filled him with panic and fear. ***“It’s been more than enough time now to go after him.” Yoda made kno
Yoda ran to where the horses were kept. He peeped from a distance. His eyes scouted for Kokohashi without success. He looked at the horses, about three or four were missing. His breath warmed his face as he stepped out further. He saw Kokohashi’s back in the distance. He was riding on his notorious white horse. Two horses accompanied him from the back. He clenched his jaws. That should have been him.When he perceived safety, he came out fully from his hiding. He looked at both sides to check if anyone spied. He was satisfied with the results his eyes came back with so he marched toward the horses. The neighing and stamping of their hoofs got the horses’ caretakers concerned. He stepped out of his tent to check the inconvenience that caused their disgruntlement. A figure jumped on the back of one of the horses for the second time asking, his posture wasn’t good but he readjusted to ride. His vision of who it was wasn’t great so he dashed toward the horses to close down the spy.“It
