“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
“Hey, I know you.” Daichi pointed as he squinted his eyes to see the stranger clearly, “Yep, it was you.”The stranger cracked his tired bones, and without a word in response to the student who had just spoken, he directed all his energy and strength into conjuring up enough chaos energy he needed to go back in to save the girl. ***“No no no no no...” A voice rued the sight before him. He saw Tanya’s veins push out the liquid they carried. Her body lay in silence, hopeless, and... lifeless. He rushed toward her without any thought. He bent over her to check her pulse. It was still faint. He was relieved. ‘If I didn’t know any better, I would think her dying would be the best situation for the genius plan of yours.’ He kept on applying pressure on the body he looked to save, paying no heed to what his mind conjured up. He tried with no evidence of his pressure working. His face had become tired from worry and he was trying to focus his thoughts on the right things. He needed to
The loud slamming of the doors and the forceful movements of the trees outside filled Suke with goosebumps that rose like flour over his cold skin. His eyes paraded the room for the figure that had just run past him in a flash, but there was still no lead. He moved in suspicion, but carefully. His back ached, although not as much as it first did. A sudden swirling of black dust came through from a corner of the room, moving toward him. It roared but moved nothing in its path. Suke stayed in the same spot, wondering how it got in. He knew what to expect, so he fell on his face.“IS THIS STILL ALL PART OF YOUR PLAN?” The wind roared its question“Yes, My Lord. I need to save them all quickly. I need to win their trust. Moreover, I think you might be able to possess the boy’s body faster than we thought.” Suke responded“FASTER? REMEMBER I AIM TO KNOW A LOT MORE ABOUT THE LINKERS.” The wind reminded Suke of its plan.“Yes, and that is one of the reasons I came up with this plan. It wil
“Gotcha!” A wry smirk curved on the corners of Yoda’s lips. This was the perfect way to worm his way back into Kokohashi’s heart. He licked his lips at his unbelievable luck. The stranger strolled tiredly over the grass, walking in between scattered trees. His backpack loosely hung back. Yoda looked on to see the direction in which the stranger moved. He wondered how he didn’t see the horse tied to the tree. Must be tired. He smiled as he decided within himself to give the stranger a heads-up. After all, he had no horse to move with.Yoda walked back to where he stayed. He laughed ecstatically at the decision to come. It was the best decision after all. His smile was wiped off at the thought of Yiro for a moment, but he quickly waved it off.“He will love me now.” Yoda’s cheeks turned red. He took his sheath that lay on the ground, hung it over his shoulders, and made out to the journey at hand. He got to where he tied his horse and kissed it before climbing its back. “Beautiful g
