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
