As Xiar and Luna reached the River Bank Xiar put Luna back down and put his cape on her. "It's been a long night huh? Guess I better get us some water...." Xiar quickly kicked his spear up to his awaiting left hand and tossed it just at the tree where Luna was resting and it landed near her head as black blood dripped from the tree trunk. "The hell you think you were about to do?" "Caught me seems you have. Well reason no back hold not we will." The Unmourned clicked three times and Unmourned Riders jumped down from the trees surrounding the River Bank. "So you've been following us?"
"Neon Knight Xiar you and your little friend here have been chosen to join the Vilborne Empires ranks." (What!? An Unmourned who can speak perfect English?) The Unmourned Captain of the Unmourned Riders walked into the Moonlight and Xiar saw a beefy Unmourned but looked more human than the others. He had a scar across half face he also was wearing royal purple jacket armor and had a ten gallon cowboy hat on. To complete his look he had on cowboy boots with the spurs and a chain lasso wrapped around his entire right arm. "You're completely different from the Unmourned I've encountered or either read about or heard of. Just what...No, Who exactly are you?"
"Ah I see, well I guess I'll explain it." The Unmourned Riders Captain took out a cigar and lit it and puffed out soot and ash. "My name's Tando McSoul. I'm Captain of The Vilborne Empires 23rd Unmourned Rider Company.I'm what you could call an Unborn." The wind began to blow harshly after Tando uttered the very word Unborn. "The hell are Unborns?"
Tando took another puff of his cigar and then replied back: "Sorry one question per soulmate and since you asked two in one already you're out of time " "Take him shall we Captain?" "No just sit back do not interfere or I'll kill you all myself. I would appreciate you looking after the girl oh and one more thing give our opponent his spear back." "But Captain... Argh!" One of the Unmourned Riders dissipated into ash and dust. Xiar trembled in fear as he looked at Tando wrap his chain lasso back around his entire right arm. (This guys' ether it's completely off the charts I don't stand a chance.)
Tando walked over to the tree where Xiars' spear was and took it out and tossed it to him. "No sense in fighting you without a weapon." "My hands are my weapons." "Don't make me laugh kid you're strong sure but there's no way you're ether is strong enough to scratch me let alone fight with just your hands." Tando tossed his cigar to the ground and put it out. "Stop trembling kid. I'm not going to kill you. But I'd suggest you come at me like your life depends on it." Xiar channeled his ether into his spear and went for a thrust but Tando easily dodged it but Xiar kept pressing the attack. (I have to calm down I'm not getting anywhere by attacking repeatedly I have to back off and see his weaknesses.)
Xiar stopped his next attack mid-way through and jumped back. Tando let one small link of his chain lasso drop into his hand and sent it at Xiar. Xiar blocked it with his spear as the chain began to wrap around the body of his spear he quickly stabbed his spear in the ground. He quickly dashed forward and took out his vibrato sword as he tossed it at Tando he then vanished in the blink of an eye. (The kid ain't as half bad as I thought...Wait his ether is being channeled from the ground and the tree behind me. I don't sense his inner ether!)
Tando tried to bring his chain lasso back to him but he couldn't move it. (Cheeky kid.... He used his own ether to magnetize me from the north and south making it so I'm forced to stay in one spot.) Xiar appeared on either side of him and they pinned him to the ground. " 'Da hell!?" Xiar then reappears above Tando as delivers a devastating open palm blast point blank. "Noooooo!" cried out Tando.
