Akirion found his way inside the yard and he was still undercover. He hid himself without saying a word. He watched all the blood thirsty humans. He saw their moves, the way they searched the house and the way they were moving around searching for him.
’Sir, I don’t think there’s a kid here, maybe this guy lives here alone.’ said a soldier who searched almost the whole mansion and found nothing.
’No, I heard some reports, that he lives with a kid in here. Remember, our group is a bunch of spies, so the reports were flowing in like water in a river into the sea.’ Haruto said, in order to continue the search.
’By the way, where are your guys Sir? They are not here, they should be helping us in searching. Or they just ran away cause all of them forced their way into the dark’s mouth.’ said another soldier, mocking the ultimate weapons. The other soldiers laughed.
’ So you are tired already that you can’t continue searching this house, now you want them to help you? Now who told you that they ran away, they must be searching more than you guys. Those two are mostly experienced. You are spies, use your skills to find the kid and his parent who are hiding in this house’s hidden corners. Here’s a clue, search for secret passage or something like that, you’ll find them if they are in the house.’
’What if they are not in the house?’ A soldier asked Haruto.
’It will be worth it.’
The soldiers researched the house again.
’Fools, no one is there, you’ll scour the land, until exhaustion etches it’s mark on your weary faces.’ Akirion mockingly said, hidden in the woods. Akirion silently laughed at the soldiers who searched the house again and again coming up empty handed with nil to show.
Meanwhile the two ultimate weapons with Thaneiros. Kragg ran to attack Thaneiros, but Thaneiros did his ugly tricks in the dark, appearing and disappearing. Gideon saw that Kragg was playing with fire and said....
’ Ohh dear, I wouldn’t do that if I were you. (Kragg continued with his attack and Gideon continued saying,) Ohh fool, what does he think he’s doing, being controlled by anger, he can’t attack that guy head on.’ Gideon realized that Kragg’s life was in danger, he tried to help him, but his feet were to short and he felt as if he was slow like a tortoise. Thaneiros launched an attack and cut Kragg’s back with a sword. The two weapons opened their eyes widely, the other one surprised of something he predicted and the other one was in pain.
Kragg screamed in pain and by that time, their allies heard the screams.
Before they heard someone screaming.
’ Sir, we’ve searches the whole house, there’s nobody inside, and we didn’t locate any passage or tunnel. I guess the guy visited somewhere and survived the war with the skin of his teeth.’ a soldier said bolstering the idea of nobody was in the house.
’ Grrrrr, great , alright, we got nothing to be doing here. {Grrrrrrrr, damn you ghost of steel, no matter where you run with the kid, I’ll find you.}’ Hurry up and call up those two and let’s leave from here before we get spotted by the castle sol...... (Haruto said, with anger and frustration on his face but his face got surprised by the scream that he heard before he finished his sentence.) What was that? He asked. Googlᴇ search Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
’It was like someone screaming.’ Ryder fortified everyone’s thoughts, because they all heard it but they weren’t sure.
’Yeah true, I guess general Ryder is telling the truth, I heard the same thing.’ A soldier added.
’ So what are you still waiting for?!’ Haruto angrily asked. ’Go check it out.’ everyone’s eye’s were at the gate, all ears, waiting for another scream again. The soldiers proved to be moving slowly in fear.
Suddenly, they heard some clashing swords sounds.
When Kragg got sliced in the back , he got down on his knees, Gideon ran to help his ally. Gideon started clashing swords with Thaneiros. The fierce fight once again started. Kragg got back on his feet and attacked Thaneiros, helping Gideon. The two over powered Thaneiros and he started to dodge going at the gate.
’Those are sword sounds, aren’t they.’ Haruto asked.
’ probably, but the only question will be, who is fighting, fighting with who.’ Ryder replied.
’Yeah, nice question, but we can’t have an answer until we see t.... ’
’ what now Ryder?’ Haruto asked, surprised by Ryder’s reaction.
’ Don’t tell me those two started fighting!’
’ Yeah, you got a point, they are both fighters and they are underground fighters. Maybe they had some past grudges.’ Haruto added a point.
’ Let’s go and check, this is not a place for them to be fighting over some old grudges. So we are supposed to stop them.’ Ryder said.
Suddenly, Thaneiros went in through the gate followed by two fighters. Haruto and his group stopped.
’ Who’s the old guy.’ a soldier surprisedly asked.
’ Ohh dear, is that the ghost of steel?’ Haruto asked.
’ He looks pretty old.’
’Yeah, it can’t be the ghost of steel.
’Yeah, but look at his moves.’
’ Wait, he’s old, because his story is more of a legend so that could be him.’
’ Master?’ Akirion asked himself in the woods and one soldier quickly looked at the woods but he didn’t see Akirion.
The two weapons got super serious with fighting. They gave Thaneiros, completely a hard time. They didn’t give him a space to breath.
Thaneiros started doing his in and out style, just like a dying park light in a horror movie. After some attacks , Thaneiros managed to land some attacks on the two guys and he didn’t stop. After some time, Kragg saw his trick and....
’wahaaaa’. Kragg jumped to the air, doing his martial arts sound, facing Thaneiros in the air. Thaneiros didn’t have a chance, Kragg got from the ground ready to strike, so he kicked Thaneiros down to the ground and Thaneiros landed on his stomach like a tripped baby. He started moving on his stomach like a snake and Kragg, wanted to make a final strike...’Master?’ but Haruto stopped him on time with just a hand sign.
’{phewwww, thank God that moron was stopped on time.}’ Akirion silently said in the woods.
’You are the ghost of steel aren’t you?’ Haruto asked the fallen Thaneiros. Thaneiros proved to be ignorant. Haruto stepped on Thaneiros’ back and asked again. Thaneiros proved to be deaf so, Haruto landed a punch on Thaneiros , and Thaneiros spitted blood from his mouth and his teeth were rose red with no sign of white.
’ I’ll ask again, are you the ghost of steel?’
’If you know me then why are you asking me, bothering me during my good night. What do you want!?’ Thaneiros, replied, facing Haruto with a scary eye. Haruto shaked in the inside and didn’t show the shaking on the other side, he showed only bravery and arrogance but while his intestines were vibrating in fear. Kragg noticed Thaneiros’ scary eye looking at Haruto. He thought of shutting it. He kicked Thaneiros’ eye. Haruto stopped him from continuing. ’Grrrrrrrrr’ Some chill, relaxed air blown with a little bit of tension of cold. Another soldier felt the cold and started rubbing his arms.
’{Calm down Akie, I know it’s hard to watch}. Look at this weakling, attacking someone who’s not fighting back.’ said Thaneiros who was laying down on his back, looking at Kragg.
’Shut up old man.’ Kragg with his open back and pissed face, he shut Thaneiros’ words.
’ Where’s the kid, and don’t waste our time.’ Haruto asked.
’ The what, you came all this way from where ever you are coming from just to ask me about a kid, there’s no kid here.’
’Don’t play with me old man, where’s the kid?’
’ Great, you are not understanding my language, there’s no kid here, let me go slower, the-re is no ki-d he-re, understand?’
’ Don’t play dump gramps, tell us, where’s the kid.’ Ryder, intervened. ’{grrrr, who are you calling gramps, slim fit?}’ The crazy chill air, turned into chilly because it sent some more cold to the humans.
’{Calm down Akie, don’t do it, they’ll just give up, don’t do it, for your own skin.}’ (Thaneiros silently said, as if he was talking to Akirion but only to himself, but with some wishes that Akirion would somehow hear it) What kid, I don’t know anything. Ohh, you mean the kids that I train? Mhh, it’s night time, not day time, they are only found during day time. I’ll like to ask a questio....’
’We don’t want your crazy question old man, tell us where the kid is.’ Haruto said. The air’s tension got worse.
’ I’ll ask, what’s your kid’s name, he didn’t come home? Did you notify the RPU? They help in such matters.’
’His name is...grrr just forget it, we want the kid that you live with.’
’What, what do you mean? I live alone, not with a kid, the kid that I lived with, not the kid but kids, I sent them to another tutor because I wasn’t able to train them anymore.’
’Grrrrrrrr, stop TELLING ME YOUR FAKE STORIES!!’ Haruto gave Thaneiros a punch on the face. The air turned into a wind, colder than before.
’Ouch, what did you do that for? I told you the truth, I live alone, before, now and tomorrow, I’m all alone.
’GET AWAY FROM MY MAASTERRR!!’
