As the dust cleared from the attack that Xiar delivered to Tando; Xiar began to breathe heavily as he winced in pain. (Damn it, my wound hasn't fully healed plus I used most of my ether in that last attack.) Tando chuckled and dusted off his jacket. "Well, you were able to knock my hat off kid I'll give you that and you caught me by surprise with those Ether Mirages." "What!? But how I put damn near everything I had into that final attack." "The keyword lad, today is....drum roll please."
An Unmourned Rider began to drumroll on a nearby tree. "Near!" "Don't feel too bad kid you gave it your best shot just wasn't meant to be." Xiar fell to his knees and Tando began to walk over to Xiar that's when he heard yodeling. "L-Luna!" Tando tried to move but couldn't move. "You're not taking big brother Xiar or me anywhere you ugly beast!" I stepped towards Xiar and his adversary and all of a sudden I felt this strange power welling up inside of me and I touched the ground and amber spikes protruded all over the battlefield impaling half of the ugly beasts.
I ran after the lead beast when all of a sudden I was flying the opposite way I was just going. "Stupid lassie. Your ether is strong but you're far too young and inexperienced to go against me." "STEP AWAY FROM MY OTHER BIG BROTHER YOU UGLY BEAST!" I exploded with a fiery rage and my hands began to glow green I jumped at the ugly beast and swung a punch but was only able to headbutt him in the face as he dodged the punch. .
I landed the missed punch into one of the other ugly beasts and they began to glow green and a yellowish gold and their very life energy was absorbed in the crystals that burst out of its body from the inside out. "I can feel my strength coming back." (This lassie is actually pretty strong. Stronger than Neon Knight Xiar over there. I hate to think about what would happen when she learns to harness those dual ether abilities of hers.) That's when I finally collapsed. "The poor girl used up too much of her ether in that last attack she had. Thank her kid for saving your hide. We'll be heading out now." "Captain, about what with the mission our."
"It's almost day time and I know you sense their reinforcements are arriving." "Wish as you Captain." "Unmourned Riders.... Let's ride the Moonlight!" Tando exclaimed and they all disappeared as a passing cloud covered the moons' light and as it reappeared again they were gone. Xiar looked up to see boots landing as he looked up to see two men in dark blue and white uniforms as one ran over to Luna and checked on her the other one knelt down and began healing Xiar. "I-I have to get back to Zarophin." "Try to stay still you idiot and Captain Verius and Yoko went to him already so just relax."
"Thanks for rescuing us Chi-sei." "I can't have you dying before I beat you." Xiar chuckled but grimaced in pain. "Please don't make me laugh." Chi-sei quickly turned around blushing slightly. "Shut up idiot." "Why are you blushing Chi?" "If you don't shut up I'll leave you here to die from blood loss but not before I punch you in your broken ribs." Xiar just smiled and turned over to see a strange glow back at Zarophin and Luna's house. (Please, be okay Zar.)
