The next day I went to go find those Bastards. I went off early in the morning so no one could stop me.
After 2 days I found a Cave. I heard some noise coming from it. I hid behind the cave. To see if it was really them. I listened carefully. Then I heard, "Well not all of them died. Some of them got away. If it wasn't for that man we would have finished them off." "Hey its all good. The boss said it was enough. That family should have died anyway." Then I went in and said, "So you were the ones that burned down the village. Who was the one that killed my mother? I know it was your group because of the arrow." I showed them the arrow and they looked at each other. "I don't know who your mother was, but those are my fathers arrows." "I see. Where is he?" "Dead. That man that chased us away killed him." "Too bad. Are you an only child?" "Yes I am." "Good." So I killed all 3 of them. I am sure there are more but if I go out to find them I will be gone too long. Dammit. So I headed back home.
I got back home didn't realized I still had blood on me. I saw Kairi on my way home. "Hey Kairi." "Kiran! What happened to you?!" "Huh?" "You are covered in blood!" "Oh that. Most of it isn't my blood. I'll go wash by the river." So I went to the river to wash up and wrapped my own wound up. "OK better?" "Much. How are you? Are you ok?" "I got a few scratches I'm fine."
At this time, I am 20 years old and I still see those kids in my head. Sometimes I feel like I am in the village that is burning. I have that episode almost every time I see fire. I am already married to Kairi and have twin boys now. They are only a few months old.
I was out working in the yard then I heard a commotion going on downtown. I went inside the house and said, "Kairi. I'm going to check out what's going on ok?" "Ok be careful out there." The babies started crying. "Waah Waah." "Its ok boys. Daddy has to work. I will be right back." I gave my boys a kiss on the head and my wife the cheek. "I'll be back." Then I headed out.
I finally got to town then I was breaking through the crowd. "What's going on here?!" I shouted. "You two. Are going to see the elder." Luckily some of my men were here. "Oh good you two are here. Bind these two up and take them to the elder. Have him give them a punishment." "Yes sir." "Ok Everyone get out of here before you all get bound." So they all left and it was just me and those kids. "Are you kids ok?" "Thank you sir." Said the little boy. I stared at the boy and girl for a few minutes. 'Am I seeing things here? Or is it really them?' Then I shook my head and snapped out of it. "Hey there. You are cyborgs. No wonder you were getting picked on. Come with me we can talk at my place." So I brought the kids back home.
"Hey honey. I'm home. I brought a couple of kids with me." Kairi came out without the babies. "I put them down for a nap. Oh hello there." "They were getting picked on." "Oh you poor kids." "Are you kids going to be ok?" "Yeah we are fine." Said the boy. "Thankfully we were saved by you again." "Huh? What are you talking about?" I said. "Four years ago you saved us from some bad guys who wanted to kidnap us. You haven't changed since we met you. By the way my name is Ryz. This is my sister Zel." Did your village by any chance burn to the ground?" "Yes it did. A man saved us and turned us into cyborgs." "So you are the kids. I thought I was seeing things again. Did your parents make it out?" I saw little Zel crying. "I see. Well honey what do you think?" "I agree." "OK kids if you have nowhere to stay your welcome to stay here. What happened to your master that helped you?" "He was killed. We are alone now." "Well your not alone. You have got us now and my little boys. I don't have any parts if you need them So I don't know how you are going to get them if you needed them." "Its ok. Part of what my mechanical side can do is make the parts I need." "Oh cool." Then I saw Zel whispered in her brother's ear. "I'll ask him." "She wants to know if she can touch your ears." "Oh sure go ahead." She cautiously walked over. "Its ok. I won't hurt you. I promise." Then she walked over and touched my ears. "Haha. That tickles." Then she laughed a little. "Hehe. Soft." "Zel! You finally spoke!" said Ryz. "Since the fire she hasn't spoke to anyone. It was the same day after you left that the fire broke." I asked if I could give her a hug and she nodded. "Oh Zel. I am so sorry. I wish I could have saved you and your family from this hell." She patted my head then went back to her brother. "Its ok Zel. Take it slowly ok?" Said Kairi. Zel nodded.
"Waah waah" "Oh dear the babies are up." Said Kairi. "I'll get them this time you rest." "Ok then." I got the boys and brought them out." "Zel and Ryz. These are our boys The older one is Titus and the younger twin is Ciel." "Oh they are so adorable. Can I hold one please?" Said Ryz. "Sure go ahead." I watched him hold the baby with his flesh arm. Then he handed the baby back to me after awhile. "So how much is machine?" "I protected my sister so I got hurt the most. I have the corner of my head as you can see. My arm and shoulder my whole chest. Everything else is normal. My sister only has her The corner of her head her leg and arm. If I wasn't protecting her she would have died according to our master. He said she was a weak child and lucky to survive." "I see. Oh I got something for both of you. Kairi do you know where those little things are?" "Hehe yeah I put them in the play area we made." "OK I'll get them." The kids looked confused. "Its going to be alright I promise." I assured them. "Ok you two. Your friends are here." They each clung to my arm. "Ow easy on the claws."
"What in the world?" said Ryz. "On my way home on a mission one day these guys would not leave my side so I took them in. This is a 2 tail flying fox. She is more of a cat fox I think." "This little guy here is a half fox. OK you can turn human now." POP "Hello there." Said the fox kid. "Oh you're so adorable." Said Ryz. "Thank you. I am a fox kid as people call me. I am not an ayakashi. Don't lump me in with those weirdo's. I was alone on my own. My mom and dad died. I found this flying cat fox and it was just me and him until Kiran found us." "So what are your names?" Said Ryz. "Oh my name is Axel. This is Luna." "I am sure you both are tired. Kairi got a room ready for you to share. At lease until you get used to it here. Then I will build you another room ok?" "Thank you Kiran." "Sure."
Then that's what brings us back to the present here. I am 22 as I said in the beginning and my boys are 2 years old now. Oh I forgot to mention the kids I took in are 15 and 12 now.
The boys were running around in the yard with Ryz. Zel was watching them play. After 2 years she still hasn't been saying much. I'm sure it will take time. As I was watching the kids something strange was happening again. Luckily the kids aren't here to see me. "Honey I'm going to lay down for a minute. I am not feeling good." "Ok honey. I hope you feel better." I went in to lay down. "Where the hell am I now? This is really strange. Am I seeing things again? Maybe if I take a nap It will go away."
Two hours later, Kairi was getting worried. Kiran doesn't usually take naps for this long. She knocked on the door and their was no answer. Then Kairi said, "I'm coming in. You ok Kiran?" He was still asleep but looked like he was having a nightmare. Kairi started calling his name. "Kiran. Hey Kiran. Wake up." She had to shake him a little then he woke up with a little start. "What happened? Where am I?" Then he calmed down and realized where he was. "Oh right. I'm home." "Did you have another episode?" "Yeah I'm ok now. Seems like when I had them last time it had the kids involved. I'll talk to them later when the kids are napping." "OK then. Come join us." "Yeah I will." Then I took a deep breath and headed out with Kairi. "Hello kids." "Daddy!" Said the boys Excitedly. "Hey boys." I picked both of them up and hugged them. "Are you two about ready for your nap?" "No nap!" said Ciel. "Hehe. So cute." "Yes nap. Daddy and mommy have to talk ok?" "No nap." Said Titus. (Sigh.) "Let me try something I used to do with Zel. First get the kids to bed. I will follow. You can come too Zel." "Go on Kairi. I'll be out here." "Ok then." Another episode was going to start. I could feel it. I sat down and waited till they got back.
Awhile later they got back. "Hey thanks for helping Ryz." "Sure no problem. So what's going on?" "Huh? What do you mean?" I said confused not knowing he knew anything. "You can't hide it from us. I see you in a daze sometimes. It looks like you are in a whole different place." "OK you got me. I don't want this spread ok?" "Yeah." (Sigh) "Ok. Ever since I met you guys I have been having these nightmares. Sometimes they come true. The first one was the fire. I kept seeing it like I was there and saw a man getting you out. Every time I have one of these episodes, its about you two. I don't know why. I recently had one and I keep having it. This is what I wanted to talk to you about." "OK what is it? Hold on just a min Zel wants to tell me something. Go ahead Zel." She whispered something in his ear and his eyes went wide. "Are you serious?" Zell nodded yes. (Sigh) "Well we better hope he is still alive then." "What is it?" said Kairi. "What you have aren't dreams. They are visions. When you saved us, you had the power to protect us no matter where we are. The visions really do have to do with us. There is someone who can explain more. If he is still alive he could help since he is the one who set the thing on you anyway. His name is Atlas. He is what you call the Blue wizard." "Ok well when I'm done talking since its late we will go tomorrow. Today when I am done telling you I will tell the elder what is going on." "OK sounds good. So what is it?" "Nothing is going on in this vision thing. I just keep seeing mountains and a cave. I try to get closer to it but I never make it in. Any idea where that may be?" "I have heard of something like that. I thought it was a myth. The place you are talking about sounds like mystic mountain. That is where the old man lives. He probably doesn't want you to see his true form as of right now." "Ok well thank you. Come with me to the elder." "Yes sir." So they followed him to the Elder.
"Elder its me. I brought the Kids I took In with me. I have a personal mission tomorrow. You have to sub someone in for the mission. Its about the you know what thing." "Oh ok. Certainly. I will be leaving as early as I can." "Ok then. Be safe. Don't get killed." "You know mom has been around you way too long. She said the same thing even at her deathbed. According go Talon." ""Haha yeah. Well I did raise her." "I don't know when I will be back. I told Kairi to go to you if she needs help." "That's fine as well. We will manage like we always did when you were gone." "Gee thanks." We walked out and headed back home.
