Night. Vade and Deadra still haven't returned from wherever they are. Zedge and Lyria joined us. At first tI thought that Zedge wanted to fight us when they came over. He definately showed it. But it ended up wanting to have a sparr. So we sparred him. It was fun, just messing around. We haven't done that in a while and it helped me cope with the depression of my friends. Eve seemed more uppity too. Which is good.
It's been about an hour or two after the sparring. We're around a campfire. Cooking some meat that Zedge brought with him. The smell wafted into our nostrils, something good. "What is this meat?" I asked.
"Well it-" he was interrupted by a rumble and a
hrrrr.
I spun around, the noise very familiar. A cyan glow came from underneath the debris of the castle. "She's alive..." I whispered. Hazard glanced at me and then looked back.
"What?" He asked.
I shook my head. Rubble began shifting. Something creeped out---
---Eve screamed.
Zedge, Hazard, and Xenek began to take out their weapons. It took a quick survey. Saw the weapons and sprinted on all fours, into the fray.
Everything slowed down in my eyes. I can see the double knives of Zedge, glint in the thin moonlight. His muscles tensing. Hazard's sword arching wide, ready for a vertical slash. Xenek moving in front of his sister. His hands ready for a spell. Everyone ready for the attack.
"Selane, STOP!!" I yelled at the once Kurie, now Seik.
She tilted her head and tried to slid to a stop. But her velocity made her swerve and topple over into the ground. She laid there, breathing heavily. I ran over to her and kneeled beside her.
"Ved! What are you doing! Get away from that thing!" Eve yelled. I ignored her.
Selane looked at me with pleading eyes. Green ichor oozed from underneath some of her scales, mixing with some of her natural hardening liquid. She took a beating protecting me and then the collapse.
Hrr... she went. Her eyes asking if I'm alright.
"It's okay. It's over. You don't have to protect me now. They're my friends," I smiled at her. The others arrived. Keeping a safe distance away. Especially Eve. I looked at her, her eyes showing anger and hatred at my once beloved pet. I looked at the yellow eyed. A green tear dropped from the eye and rippled along the scales and joined the ground. Her scales glowing brightly. "This is Selane," I began not bothering looking back up at the group. "She use to be my Kurie. I'm sure you remember them, Hazard. She was trying to protect me. The bond is the only thing she remembered." Selane hrred at this. Softly. Her glow fading with every sentence. "Times have been rough. But go on. Be in peace. Thank you for before... I'll remember you." Another tear rippled down her scales, as did a tear from me. The glow became nothing more then a dim light. "Farewell."
The glow died down completely. The yellow eyes slowly hid behind a thick curtain of it's substance. Then the substance hardened all over it's body. Turning it into a statue. The hardening cracked it. And a puff of dark cyan mist ebbed into the sky. I stood and watched the tendrils lift up, and then mix. The last of Selane, finally leaving.
I then told them all about Selane and how the Kuries transformed into Seiks. And why it didn't attack me. I told the entire story to the others. Hazard like the idea of his Kurie turnign into a Seik and obeying him. I doubt it would be that simple for him, he didn't like his. That caused a bad bond, well limited bond. I put myself next to the fire, to try to warm me up. "Once they get here in the morning and get something to eat we'll go to Kinte." I then closed my eyes and tried to sleep. I thought about it all.
Eve voice cut in the darkness, "I'm sorry." And the timeless sleep consumed me.
