Rustle rustle, the bushes started to move slowly one at a time. only a slight sound escaped as they were being carefully moved out of the way. A figure was seen slowly emerging from the bushes edging slightly closer and closer with his every move, silently moving without a sound aside from the soft rustlings of the flora as they were being moved.

As the figure neared the collapsed figure of yami he started to take even more care with his movements, being mindful of the small perimeter of Yami's zone of corruption. Unwilling to get caught up with it after witnessing first hand of the effects as it corrdered not only the land but also the monsters that Yami was fighting a moment ago.

Finally the figure stopped moving as he was right next to yami and his zone of corruption, quickly the figure bent over and picked up the 2 monster corpses before bolting out of the area, as to avoid the corruption which had already encroached onto the figures boots turning it into mush.

As the figure was fleeing in a rush with his booty leaving behind his boots and in his haste and excitement he fell over a vine that appeared magically out of nowhere and was sent sprawling all over the ground. Causing him to drop his ill gotten goods onto the grass, in his frustration at his own carelessness he quickly gathered up the monsters corpses and was attempting to rise only to see his companion, his sister.

"Sister look i got something we could eat, its a rank e- or even higher!!!!, even if its burnt or ripped it will still provide us with alot of energy and power." said the figure as he was showing his goods,

"You fool, do you think i will believe you killed them no i was there with you at the fight but you never even realized did you !!!!. "shouted the figures sister as she stood over him with a face filled with anger.

"we may be weak, we may be discarded. we may be alone but we will never lose the morals that our village had ingrained in us !!!. We must never leave behind a fellow demi/ halfing of the darkness"

"But sister, hes dangerous as he managed to kill those monster at such a young age,and look at what his blood does to anything that it touches, it corrodes them with darkness.!!!"

"I mean we even witnessed his fight dont you remember Sister!!!"

" i know but still we must save him as our villages laws says if a stranger that seems to be similar to a demi, needs help and that doesnt appear to be an enemy bring them to the village, this is how the village started in the first place as a haven to the forces of darkness that has been persecuted or the poor demis as no side would accept them."

"Fine ....., but make sure you do it with your magic as if you touch him you will die,"

"i know i know, but lets make haste quick the last time isaw him was when he was battling the monsters by himself he must be near death"

As the 2 figures made up their mind they quickly rushed back to where Yami had collapsed, as they were moving the sister and the brother started to remember the fierce battle that had just occurred.

Hours before Yamis collaspes.
