Chapter 6 - Sages of Old! The Corrupt Tablet.

Kaze's vision turns to normal as we see him stumble to his knees. "Hey do you feel that?" Mizu asks everyone. "Yeah" they all respond. "Well, well what do we have here?" A trio of figures step out from the darkness of the forest. "Somebody seems to have escaped Abaddon's grasp." One of the figures states. "Lucian!" Mizu states as he recognizes one of the individuals. "Brother, I am sorry." Lucian replies as he looks away. "Bone Stampede!" The skeletal figure calls out and begins to summon large bone-like spikes from the ground that forces Kaze and the others to dodge. "Damn" Kaze unsheathes his sword and charges in slicing the spikes that appear from the ground reaching the skeleton only to have his sword grabbed. "Hey, let go!" Kaze yells in vain. "Well, you are a feisty one, Bone's I will take that as another millennial of serving under me to repay this life debt." The figure states as he smiles with enjoyment. "Yes! Lord Kek!" The skeleton happily states. "Now what to do with you." Kek turns back towards Kaze. Suddenly Kek releases the sword and takes a step back as a murderous red aura spews from Kaze dawning a crimson mask. "Oh, now this will not do." Kek charges in and knocks Kaze out along with the others in quick succession. Kek places his hand on the altar and falls to his knees only to get up and we see hat appears to be black lines in the shape of veins being released from his body and attaching to the altar. "You will not tell me what I can and cannot see. I will see what I want to see." Kek releases this murky black aura that engulfs him and the altar as we can see within the ball memories of old are being bestowed upon him. "I see, this is where the tablet has scattered to." Kek releases the altar walks back to where he entered, but before stops looks at Kaze and continues walking. "Leave them, they should make this game much more entertaining." Bone's Laughs as we see Mizu call out "Lucian." The man not looking back you can see a blood tear dripping from his eye. "We will meet again brother." Mizu states as he reaches his arm out. Off in the distance we hear a loud echo of a word that seems to engulf the area where Kaze is with a healing light. Kaze and the others slowly make their way to their feet and are met with shock. "Who was that?" Kaze says with an extremely angry and vengeful tone. Sato and Satomi motion Kaze and Mizu to follow them as they return to this darkened estate within the depths of this forest. "Let me explain." Sato begins telling Kaze and Mizu about the encounter with Kek once before. "Abaddon? Trapped in the spirit realm? What do you mean?" Kaze begins asking questions. "Lord Kaze, do not be alarmed but before your father was murdered he had our ancestors gather and bestowed these titles upon our bloodlines. A few years ago is when we first sensed your return, as we have lost sight of your aura after your mother was slaughtered at the hands of Abaddon and his men. "I had a dream about this before Mizu" Kaze gets up looks out the window and grips his sword. "You see I was whisked down the River of Souls and into the mouth of an ancient dungeon guarded by this strange demon. His name was Hala." Mizu and the others get up. "That monster is still alive?" Kaze looks around in shock as he sees the worried expressions. "What do you mean?" Mizu with a darkened look to his face begins to grind his teeth and show his fangs. "That is one of Abaddon's top generals, his power is as great as Abaddon himself." Kaze with a grin to him. "I killed him escaping the dungeon." Kaze states proudly. "Impossible." Mizu states as he tilts his head back showing a scar across the underside of his neck. "This is what I got from running into him before, he was out on a mountain range collecting some weird metal." Mizu states as Kaze looks down at his blade. "Well, what ever this is, we need to head towards a city and gather some information on Blackwater Isle. I believe that is where one of the Tablet pieces is and where we could meet that Kek again and get some more answers. Sato and Satomi listening to this exchange between Kaze and Mizu. "You both need to get some rest, I will pour some tea and then we can all retire for bed." Satomi states as she heads towards the kitchen. "I will show you to your rooms while she prepares that." Sato, Mizu and Kaze head towards the sleeping quarters where they each have their own room. Sato and Satomi meet back up in the dining area. "They both instantly fell asleep once they saw the beds. I will join you sister for tea though." As Satomi pours both of them a cup. "Though a meeting that was destined, we had to let that meeting happen as to continue balance. Right?" Satomi asks as she sips on her tea. "Right, there will be a time where Kaze will kill that man, but he needed to feel that vengeful spirit from within." Sato states. "The reawakening of Lucifer, when that spirit touches the earth, all shall bow to the Spirit King once again." Satomi states as we see Kaze and Mizu sound asleep.
