Alone

==========

~~~Early 2013~~~

In a lone mansion on the top of the hill , the basement that run down through the mountain , Ryu and his step sister , Sarah , they would venture around the mansion together whenever they are free from their private lecture.

Sarah-"Big brother !! Hurry , Open the door!"

Sarah was really excited to open the giant iron doors that was right infront of them.

Ryu-"But...I don't know... father forbids us to open the doors.."

Sarah tries to persuade her brother as she clings to his arm.

Sarah-"But..but... brother.. father said not to open the door but he never said anything about not going inside"

Ryu rubs his chin with his hand as he thinks , but then convinced as Sarah look at him with her puppy eyes.

Ryu-"Fine... just a peek and no touching! we have to leave right after okay?"

Sarah jumps of joy as she hug her brother.

Sarah-"Yay I love you so much big brother!"

Ryu walk forward to the door and lays his hand onto the iron door.

from his palm , a dark aura spread across the iron door and suddenly disintegrated the door , leaving a dark pathway in the middle.

Sarah-"Wow...it look like big brother melted the door hehehe"

Ryu held Sarah hand and move through the hole as he release the dark aura from his palm.

Ryu-"Hurry Sarah , the path won't be open for long"

As Ryu and Sarah walk through the door , they saw a white grass field covered with a thick fog as they stood on a higher ground ontop of a stairway.

Sarah-"Wah...so scary.."

Sarah held on Ryu's arm tightly as she look down on the white field.

With no source of light reaching the scene , Ryu began to analyze the surrounding.

Ryu-"*That must be... a Blith fog... that means ...*Pearl grass!"

Sarah looked at her brother and she asked

Sarah-"Pearl grass? Big brother , is that really it?"

Ryu nodded and turns around

Ryu-"Mhmmm , but sadly , we have to leave now before somethi-"

Footsteps could be heard

Ryu turn around and sees his little sister running down the steps.

Ryu quickly dashes to Sarah as she ran and caught her immediately.

Ryu-"Sarah , what are you doing?! It's dangerous , we have to go back , now"

Sarah turns her head and said with a puppy eyes

Sarah-"But.. big brother , mother will be happy if we get her some beautiful pearl grass"

After a times of convincing , Ryu told agreed but he told Sarah to wait for him on the top of the stairway.

Sarah-"Take lots and lots big brother!"

While Sarah was cheering for her big brother , Ryu was walking slowly down the steps as he was being cautious to the unknown surrounding.

Step step

Ryu-"Hmmm... I don't like this place... too quiet ... even for a ruin"

Upon reaching the ground , he notice another door far away , but without caring , Ryu quickly grab some white grass and ran back up the hill.

After making a hole through the door , Ryu and Sarah left the ruin , the hole then disappeared , leaving no hint of trace on the iron door.

Ryu pats his sister head and gave her the grass

Ryu-"Here Sarah , you give them to mother yourself , she will be very pleased"

As Sarah held his arm she looked at him , hesitating to take the grass she asked.

Sarah-"But...what about big brother?We can always split in half or say we got it together.."

Ryu shook his head and smiled.

~~~Nest~~~

Nael-"Mens , get him!"

Twitch

With a slight movement of his finger , Ryu let out out a chained dagger that swim through the eye socket of the skulls , wrapping it around , the skull flew onto his hand.

Ryu-"*Keke , Demons and now humans , they better show me some good magic*"

One of the 10 soldier who surrounded him with a half circle formation charged toward him

Soldier-"Yahhhhh!"

The soldier lift his sword as he run toward Ryu

Ryu was holding the skull on his left hand and with a flick of his right hand finger

Pierce

The dagger flew into the leg of the soldier , causing him to tumble onto the ground and the remaining soldier quickly charged together in group this times.

Ryu-"*Eh...I guess not everyone use magic*"

Flicks

Lucy-"Stop!-"

Lucy loud shout echoed through the nest and the 9 remaining soldier immediately halted their charge with the tip og the chained daggers poking their neck.

Soldier-"....sh*t.."

Ryu looks at Lucy from head to toes.

Ryu-"*She can see my daggers? Oh well I only used abit of my Ki*"

The old man Nael ran behind Lucy as he tries to remain calm.

Nael-"Co..commander Lucy..do something about this thief!"

Lucy walks toward the frozen soldiers who couldn't move because their life was in the line , as she reach Ryu , she took out a golden looking circle badge with a drawing on it.

Lucy-"I am Lucy Frezlia, 4th of the 16 royal commanders , I want to apologize for their rudeness and for calling you a thief"

Lucy tilted her head slightly forward as she spoke.

Ryu-"*Hmm...that expression.. she had a rough childhood like me*"

Ryu recalled his chained daggers and disappeared into his sleeves.

Ryu-"Hmmp , I don't care who you are , next times if you bother me , I will reward you with death"

As Ryu walk past Lucy , he glanced at Nael

Kallia-"Commander Lucy..."

Lucy turned around and as soon she was about to say something

Ryu stops and said

Ryu-"My name is Ryu"

Lucy-"Ryu...?"

After saying his name , Ryu walks toward the exit tunnel.

Right after Ryu left , Kallia went beside Lucy and said

Kallia-"Commander Lucy... what about the skull?"

Lucy-"Kallia , I don't think I will manage to come out alive if we fought against him"

Kallia and Nael were surprised that Lucy , known as the thunder bolt spear was not confident even with the help of Kallia and Nael.

Lucy-"Such a mysterious man....I couldn't even sense his power..."

Nael gulped and said

Nael-"He is stronger than a master fighter...?"

Lucy nodded as they look toward the tunnel they came from.

Kallia-"Commander Lucy! This is bad!"

Lucy looked at Kallia and realized

Nael-"W..What's wrong?"

Kallia-"Th...the army we left with commander Wil is still outside the nest......"

Lucy immediately ran toward the tunnel followed by Kallia.

Ryu-"Ah , I am in a bad mood now.."

Said Ryu as he walk in the tunnel
