Kiro and Camero head to the dining room alongside with Idril . They enter the dining room and they find the dinner already prepared . Kiro asks
-Can I ask you what's exactly for dinner ?
-A fine soup and a wonderful salad .
-I see.
-Please gentlemen , eat up .
"I guess we will be doing our search with an half-empty stomach."
Kiro and Camero start eating . After a while they wipe their lips and get up . Camero says :
-If you would excuse us , we will be catching some sleep .
-Of course , good night .
Both Kiro and Camero leave the dining room and start walking down the hallway .
-So how are we going to get out of our rooms without anyone noticing reaper ?
-I don't know about you , but I will be getting out of the window .
-Are you sure about this ?
-I will be tying the bed sheets and forming a rope , It's not that high .
-I will be doing the same .
-Good , just wait for half a hour , then we will meet outside .
-As you say .
-Goodnight for now .
They both head to their rooms . Kiro enters his room and sits on his bed . He waits impatiently for the time to come . Time passes , Kiro starts tying his bed sheets , forming a primitive rope . He hangs it near the window and starts going down .
"I hope I don't fall , like the other time "
Kiro reaches the end of his rope . He wasn't too high from the ground so he decides to jump . Kiro lands unharmed on the ground . After a while he sees Camero doing the same thing . Once Camero landed , he approaches Kiro and says .
-Alright , let's get this over with .
Kiro and Camero enter the forest . It was dark , and hard to see . They hear a growling from a short distance , coming from their left .
-Bloodlust
Kiro's eyes become pitch black . Kiro spots a wolf nearby .
-What is that .
-Just an wolf .
-Let's go then
-Let me take care of it first .
Kiro stares directly at the wolf . The wolf whines and comes towards Kiro shaking and shivering .
-Be a good boy and take care of yourself
The wolf goes in front of a tree and starts bashing it's head against it . Blood splatters from the wolf forehead , it whined and shivered , but it would't stop . The wolf bashes it's head until it lies dead on the ground .
-Impressive , I would like to know how you did that .
-Now it's not the time , let's get moving .
They both continue their way deeper into the forest . Time passes , nothing interesting is heard or seen by the two of them .
-This is getting pointless reaper , We should go back...
As Camero was about to finish , an screeching painful scream is heard .
-It came that way
-No , it came that way reaper !
-Bloodlust
Kiro's eyes turn pitch black once again , but this time Kiro couldn't spot anything .
-That's weird , Bloodlust isn't helping at all .
-I'm checking that way .
-As you wish .
Both of them separate ways . Kiro runs towards the noise and then he finds an place surrounded by trees . There , he sees non other than the elf who tried to kill him .
-Couldn't you just stay dead ?
The assassin charges at Kiro , but now in a inhumane speed . Kiro dodges quickly , and the attack lands at a tree . The tree was severely damaged by the attack .
"Just imagine if that was me."
-So your life doesn't mean anything to you , Bloodlust
Kiro's eyes turn pitch black . A wide twisted grin appears on his face
-Now I will strangle you with your own guts !
Kiro draws the oath blade and pulls out his dagger . He charges at full speed at the elf , as their swords clash . Kiro steps back and then he throws his dagger at the elf . The elf deflects the dagger , then Kiro pulls out his other dagger and throws it as well . The dagger lands right at the elf's forehead , piercing through his skull .
-Well , Now I'm sure your are dead .
Suddenly , the elf grabs the dagger's grip , and pulls it off . He then throw it right at Kiro
-Time leap .
The time slows down , Kiro takes the slow-moving floating dagger .
-How is that possible ? What in the hell's name are you ?
The elf's body slowly changes into a familiar face to Kiro .
-Esgrieth ?
-Do you think I'm pretty ?
Esgrieth charges at Kiro , but Kiro parries the attack .
-I don't know how you got out of my body , but you should stop before I rip your spine apart of our body ,
-Do you think I'm pretty ?
"Something is not right here"
Esgrieth Charges once again at Kiro , Kiro deflects the attack and jumps behind Esgrieth and stabs her in the back . Esgrieth coughs blood and then her body starts to change again . She slowly transforms to Cyrian .
-Do you think I'm pretty ?
-Alright this is just getting too creepy
-Do you think I'm pretty ?
Cyrian charges at Kiro , Kiro dodges the attack and kicks him with his demonic strength . Cyrian falls to the ground. Kiro doesn't waste time and charges at Cyrian while on the ground and slices through his neck , cutting off his head. Blood spreads all over the ground .
-Finally , it's over .
Suddenly , the body itself stands up and it pick up the head on the ground . The body starts changing again , but this time , the transformation was more intense , the rib cage opened , and the body started getting bigger and bigger , it's face was changing into a little girl's , but it's eye balls poped out of it's face. It's ribs started moving like they were limbs . The nightmarish creature looked stared Kiro right at his pitch black eyes and it repeated once again :
-Do I look pretty ?
-Kiro holded the sword's grip tight because of the distress . In fron of his eyes lied an terrifying abomination .
Kiro keeps himself together , then he says :
-Now you have made it clear , it will be either you or me .
A devilish grin appears on his face once again
-Like is that hard to choose
