I look over to see a tall women walk out of the crowd, her tail pitch black, but nothing could compare to my shadows. She stares at the now black figure, the wisps flowing off of it's body, and when she stares at the eyes, her face goes dark. But she quickly changes her face back to neutral before anyone notices which is hard to believers everyone is looking at her. They even parted to let her pass, she was like an earthquake that caused the earth to split.
Her face is round, giving her a warm look but her eyes are cold, immediately canceling out her warm look. Her cold look combined with her brown hair and black tail gives off a cold aura. She immediately starts walking towards me, until she is about 7 feet away. She looks aver at the now unconscious werewolf, blood trickling from his mouth and drying into his fur. She looks back and clears her throat before speaking, her voice as cold as her eyes.
"Who are you, and why did you attack one of our teachers?"
'Again with these questions. They have no variety.' I think while I sigh inwardly, 'But I guess that is a logical question.' I begin to retract my shadow armor before I begin explaining myself. Everyone stares as the semi-solid shadow slowly crawls off of my body and into my shadow, like a veil being dragged off a mannequin.
I stare at her, a small smirk on my face. "This should make you feel more comfortable talking to me. I am Kurayami, and I saw this 'runt' as you call it, getting bullied by some people. So I stepped in, the bullies eventually brought back him, I told him where I came from, he didn't believe me and attacked me. And that is how we ended up here."
The women looks over at Winter and her eyes narrow. The faint aura of confidence Winter had moments before vanished and she looks down to the floor. "Hi mom...."
'Mom?!'
Her eyes narrow as she coldly says, "You can't avoid trouble, can you?" Winter raises her head, "Mom, I-"
"Go home, we will discuss this later." I watch as Winter's ears and tail droop as she walks down the hall, the crowd whispering, laughing, and giggle. But they suddenly get this icy feeling out of no where. They turn around to see the purple haired kid, staring daggers at the group, which quiets them instantly.
I look back at the women as she bows her head slightly, "Sorry about that, now where did you come from exactly?"
'So cruel.' I think as my impression of this women drops even further than it was already. "Outside the cube." She freezes for a moment, a look of confusion on her face. "Outside the cube? It's hard to believe but you aren't lying."
Now I look confused, "How do you know?"
"I can see the blood in you circulating the same. And people will create a certain smell when they lie." I look at her with a hint of shock in my eyes, "Your a hybrid?"
She nods, her ears flicking every now and then. "So you are from outside the cube? I would like to discuss this more in private. Please follow me." She says as she waves me over, her calm demeanor unwavering. I shrug and follow her.
Outside the cube....
Dreag is bleeding from multiple locations while the mound of flesh lays lifelessly on the ground, the goliath finally defeated. He limps over to the cart and enters, seeing the worried looks of the king and a slime being choked by the princess.
"That was *huff* one of the worst *huff* fights ever." He takes a moment to catch his breath as Aurora puts Winter on her lap. She places her two webbed palms on top of one another and raises them slowly. Suddenly, a blob of water appears in the space she has between her hands and as she pushes it to Dreag, the water spreads over his body, under his clothes, when it is done, disappears. She has a droplet of sweat on her but it disappears into her skin moments later.
Dreag is now cleaner than he was when he entered the cart at the beginning of the trip, the mana in the water making his skin glimmer. He starts to glow and any marks, cuts, or slices start to heal and disappear.
After he is done glowing, he looks like he just had a leisurely walk, the only marks of battle only showing on his clothes and the surroundings. He looks around and suddenly realizes something, "Where's Kurayami?"
The princess gets an even more worried look as she responds, "Wasn't he with you?"
The slime jumps off of Aurora's lap and runs out of the open cart door, turning around mid air so he lands facing them. "Meow!" He says as he begins jumping in a certain direction.
"Oh yeah! Familiars can sense their tamer within a certain distance as long as they are conscious. Can you show Dreag where he is Winter?" Aurora asks in her elegant yet cute voice. The slime nods then turns around, and begins jumping across the battlefield, the planet scarred from the marks of this viscous, tug of war victory.
Dreag begins following the slime till they eventually arrive at a massive hole. Dreag peers down but can't see the bottom, causing him to unconsciously take a step back. He slime then slides over the grass and onto the edge, then falls over the edge.
