 Chapter 7: Maze of Madness 

 

Silence filled the room as the emerald women walked closer to Akira still smoking her Kiseru. “Well Akira aren’t you happy to see my return?” questioned the women

“My lady (Akira Bows) why wouldn’t I be (Akira lifts his head only to be back handed by the women)

“'''SILENCE AKIRA! (Takes a deep breath from her pipe and breaths out the smoke) YOU DARE ABUSE YOUR POSITION AS CHIEF GUARD! YOU FAILED TO INFORM ME OF OUR GUEST'''! (Turns to look at Drake) Yes I sense his arrival here on the first day. Sadly I am disappointed that my great huntress didn’t bring this to me sooner. (Kara bows her head in Shame) But unlike you she had good reason to. THEN YOU RIG THE TRIAL SO THAT THEY COULDN’T HAVE THE PROPER TIME TO DEFEND THEMSELVES! Law of this village dictates that all are given 3 days to prepare regardless of crime and REGARDLESS OF WHAT HAPPENS!”

“My lady…your guest is a threat and a deceiver and It was necessary to seek immediate action. Besides I have evidence that his hands are responsible for the attack of our beloved villia…(Akira stops talking noticing the Elder’s stare)

“Akira why should I believe you? You kept this man a secret, you foolishly lead my guards against a distracting Army leaving our village unprotected and alerting our enemy to our hidden Location giving their second wave a chance to attack us causing the deaths of 13….13 people! (The Elder waves over citizen) Jenny here saw you leading our Guards away from the village… to attack an Order encampment leaving the people at the mercy of the hunters. If you keep my guard within the Barrier the hunter won’t attack, the encampment would still be sitting there and we WOULD HAVE 13 STILL ALIVE!”

The crowd begins to murmur among themselves as Akira begins looking around trembling.

“AKIRA IS A DISGRACE!” shouted one of the villager’s causing the rest to burst out in rage cursing Akira.

“ORDER!” Shouted the Judge as he rises from the podium causing the crowd to quickly go silent

“'''AKIRA! '''Due to your ignorance, Disgrace, and Lie’s I would’ve executed you myself (Said the elder revealing her razor sharp teeth and snake like eyes) but A Blood trial has been called…your life is now entangled with the Labyrinth and killing you would bring the wrath of the fates on us, the same goes for him… guards escort Akira and my guest to the Labyrinth.”

As the guards begins escorting Akira and Drake the elder waves Kara over

“Kara walk with me” called the Elder (Kara obeys and begins walking with the Emerald Elder) “I’m Thankful for all you’ve done and I know you mean well but this must be done (Takes a deep breath from her pipe) If your friend survives the Blood Labyrinth you, Galen, John and Sara must leave the village.”

Kara turns to the elder with surprise “My Lady I don’t understand.”

(The elder breaths out the smoke from her lungs) “The reason I left the village was to meet with my friend Alessia the Shirohebi about a vision she had.”

(Kara Looks at the Elder) “A vision?”

The elder sighs “A vision of Death. It was unclear to her how but she said that in her vision she saw a green Island surrounded by black and white colored waters. At a time these waters were at peace with the Island and were calm but something had changed causing the waters to stir and become violent. There on the Island stood a shadow with a sphere of light in its chest bound by many chains and seals. Slowly one by one the shadow consumed the seals and shattering its chains and at that moment the waters drew closer and closer until the Island was consumed and complete darkness followed.”

“What was this shadow my Lady” questioned Kara

“Your friend. The one going to the Blood Labyrinth (Kara’s eyes open wide with shock). It’s hard to explain but there’s something about him that draws Aura to him even though he’s a human. It’s like his body is feeding off the aura that’s drawn to him. I believe that whatever aura he’s drawing into himself is also making him a beacon for something and whatever this thing is death is following it. This village cannot stand against this threat, we’re not strong enough.”

(Kara staring in disbelief) “Why us? And where are we supposed to go?”

“You will go through the Immortal woods, under the Pass of Dagon until you reach the valley of fangs. Alessia said that is where you go and your find your true path. As for why it’s your group is beyond me but whatever Alessia says I must follow for the sake of our village. (The elder places her hand on Kara’s shoulder)Come Kara we must hurry to the Labyrinth and prepare the trial of Blood.” (The Elder takes out one of her earrings removing her guise in the process revealing her Ryu form before flying off)

Meanwhile in the mad realm of wonderland

Amelia appears in front of the throne room doors startling two guards in the process.

“Amelia you scared the hell outta us.” Replied the first guard

(Amelia grins before walking passed the guard lightly brushing his face with her tail) “Sorry but at this moment the Queen needs to see me ASAP so I didn’t have time to think about how to appear.”

(The second Guard shakes his head) “Cheshire cats are such a hand full. Either there out causing mischief or trying to find a mate to satisfy their Heat problem.”

Amelia begins walking up to the Throne stretching in the process.

“AMELIA!” Exclaimed the Queen of Hearts “I was beginning to worry. March here said you were running late but I think her watch is broken again”

 

“No Ma’am Amelia is really late indeed” Replied the March Hare point at her pocket watch

(The Queen waves her hand signaling the March Hare to leave) “Why the delay Amelia? I was about to summon someone to find you.” QOH Sighed

“I was following your orders but was attacked in the process.” Replied Amelia as she begins sprawling on the floor

“'''ATTACKED! BY WHOM?” '''Demanded the Queen “It wasn’t from the order wasn’t it?”

“No my lady the order is gone from the Area but like you predicted they did hit Luna Lake, 13 deaths in total.”

“I’m sorry to hear about that Luna Lake (QOH sighs in disbelief). Even though we have our own dreams for the future they are still considered an ally among us. If it wasn’t The Order that attacked you then who did?”

(Amelia Grins) “Maybe you would like to talk to her” (Amelia disappears and reappears with a tied up and beaten up Gazer) “Careful my lady she taken one of my lives already.”

(QOH stands up and walks up to the Gazer) “Who is you master?” (Gazer tries lunging a tentacle at the Queen only to have it cut off)

“HMM Pity…Let’s see here you got information that I need so I can’t Behead you and you’re the type that’s not going to talk either. (The QOH closes her eyes) I summon thee. (QOH opens her eyes again).”

The queen begins heading back to her throne thinking to herself “They’ll be here soon but what to do with Amelia?”

After a moment of thinking “AH AMELIA! I got a task for you to accomplish. There’s a small settlement just outside of my realm that I want to bring under my wing. It wouldn’t be fair to let those poor humans suffer out in the wilds like animals. Go and give them this message (Hands Amelia red envelope) it’s an invitation for them to join my kingdom”

(Amelia stares at the letter) “And if they refuse my Ladyship?”

“Then bring some friends along. Not only will this give them a chance to find a mate but also give the humans a small taste of heaven too” The Queen Smiled

“And what of my other mission Ma’am?” Questioned Amelia

“You’ll go back to it when you complete this one and return here so I can give you another life to replace your lost one. Now GO!”

“Yes Ma’am” (Amelia bowed before disappearing)

Moments later a cloaked individual enter the room.

“You summoned me my Lady?” (Bowed the female figure)

“Yes but where’s the other one?” Questioned the Queen

“Been her the whole time.” Replied the male voice reappearing

“Good you’re both here. I have a request for the both of you.”

“You have our services and loyalty.” Replied the Male and female figure

(The queen gets off her throne) “I need you two to do an important job for me. Gabriel I need to interrogate this prisoner and find out who she works for. Apparently she killed Amelia once already and was spying on someone of great interest. Blair I need you to investigate the attack on Luna Lake. I believe there was more to it than just Hunters that were behind the attack.”

“What happened with Amelia?” Questioned Blair “Isn’t she usually the eyes over there?”

(Queen Sighs) “She’s been distracted lately which is something I cannot afford right now. I believe you’re better suited for the job at hand. Plus if there is someone else behind the attack you have a better chance of capturing him or her.

“Very well I’ll see what I can find” Blair bowed before disappearing

“This is going to be fun. Don’t worry my Queen I’ll make her sing her life story when I’m done” (Gabriel walks over and picks up the Gazer before disappearing.)

 DRAKE POV 

After the guards escorted me out of the court room they led me out side to a newly drawn seal that was on the ground. Without words they placed me on it and once both of my feet touched the seal it began turning Blood red and within minutes everything turned dark. After a while I began seeing torch lights and moments later a young girl stood in front of me

“Ello Mister” The girl smiled

“Um Hello?” I replied confused (Thinking to myself) “What’s going on here? Who is she? Why am I not at the Labyrinth?

The little girl goes up to Drake and tugs on his shirt sleeve “Mister please follow me I have to get you ready.”

“Ready? You mean for the trial” I asked

“THAT’S RIGHT! (Giggled the little girl) Sadly all I can do is show you the armory. You must choose your gear and weapons. It will help decide your fate in the Labyrinth (The little girl walks over to an Iron Door and begins to slowly open it revealing many types of armor and weapons)

As I slowly approached the armory doors “Whoa. There enough stuff here to arm an empire.”

“You must hurry (The little girl pulls out an Hourglass) “you got thirty minutes to find armor and any equipment you need.”

Without second thought I rushed into the armory trying not to waste any time. After 20 Minutes of searching I found an old silver katana and two first aid kits but no Armor that I can use.

“Great 10 minutes before the…” I mumbled before getting interrupted by unknown whispers “uh…Where’s that noise coming from?” I begin following the whispers until it lead me to a dusty red Armor that is battle worn.

“This armor.” I whispered before taking a closer look. “I recognize this from my dreams” (Drakes eyes open in surprise as an images appeared in his mind)

 

The images shows an individual wearing the red armor fighting unknown creatures. “RUN I’LL HOLD THEM HERE YOU MUST ESCAPE!” The warrior shouted to a fellow soldier wearing similar armor that was black. At the moment the images changed showing the black armored soldier running through woods before falling down exhausted (While the black armor soldier gets onto their knees they look up at sky watching the sun become an eclipse.)

Once the eclipse was complete the images begins to fade away from my mind as a voice calls out to me “Mister? AH! Good you’re all set” Smiled the little girl seeing Drake wearing the Red Armor.

“What? I asked in surprise as I begin looking down at myself noticing that I’m now wearing the red armor.”

“Good Luck Mister” Smiled the little girl before snapping her fingers teleporting me

After Drake teleported out of the room the little girl turns around as a women walks in dressed in purple wearing a Blindfold “Is the other one ready big sis”

“He’s been ready. All he needed was a sword and that was it. (The older sister walks up to the younger one) You know it’s my turn now”

“What do you mean?” asked the confused little girl.

The older sister removes a white gem that’s sitting on the forehead of the little girl “It’s my turn with the eye”

(Little girl starts having a fit) “NO IT’S NOT YOU HAD IT AN HOUR AGO!” the little girl screamed

“Stop acting like a kid. We have a job to do and Big sister is about ready to begin the ritual.” Replied the older sister as she places the gem on her forehead releasing the blindfold on her eyes

“Fine!” Shouted the little sister as her blindfold appears.

After a few minutes of walking the two sisters enter into a room with another girl sitting in one of the three smaller circles that’s inside a bigger circle engraved on the floor. She moves her wings revealing a threat being finished “Finally you two arrived. The threads are completed. Do you have the blades?”

“Yes right here” Replied both sisters holding out a knife (The knife leaves their hands and forms into scissors before it sets itself in the middle of the circle in the floor)

“Good. Now my sisters let us blood the trial begin” Announced the Eldest sister

 GABRIEL POV 

Screams echoed throughout the Queens castle as the Gazer suffered the unbelievable torment under the hands of Gabriel.

“HHmm you have great taste (Gabriel holding the gazers severed hand) it’s making it hard for me to resist eating this slowly. So please tell me who you’re working for so we can end this? You’ve already lost both hands and feet but yet you still resist”

The Gazer looks at Gabriel and spits at him. “Death is your only option for me”

(Gabriel smiles and proceeds to eat her hand slowly) “YOU’RE INSANE!” Shouted the Gazer know whimpering

“I prefer the term Mad (Gabriel Smiled as his claws start to extend) let’s see here what I should eat next? HHmm a kidney, your eye perhaps or slowly flay and eat your skin piece by piece. (Gabriel moves his clawed finger gently across the back of the Gazers neck scratching it)

“SSTTOOPP!” Screamed the Gazer '''“IT WAS DERUELLA! SHE SENT ME TO FIND SOMEONE WITH BLACK AAURA THAT’S ALL I KNOW! PLEASE NO MORE!” '''Screamed the Gazer as she begins crying

“Deruella? That’s interesting…hmm Thank you the Queen would love to hear this.” Replied Gabriel as he begins to leave the bloodied room “Don’t worry since you’ll be staying here your hands and feet will grow back thanks to the generosity of the Queen.”

Gabriel leaves the room and begins heading to the Throne room. “The Queen will not be happy to hear that her sister have gotten involved in this mess what’s going on here?”

Gabriel enters the throne room to see it messed up with a human in the middle of the room swarmed by different types of lustful Alice type Mamono  “AH! another assassin my Queen”

“Oh Yes One from the order too.” Smirked Queen as she holds her hand making the Alice Mamono’s stop “So I had my own interrogation going on here.”

Gabriel looks at the exhausted Human on the ground watching him quickly turn into an Incubus “He’s lucky that he still has his head my Lady.”

“Now Now Gabriel I can’t let someone this young one go to waste. Especially with all these new members that’s been joining our realm.”

“So Amelia was successful in convincing the village then” Grinned Gabriel

“Amelia has never failed me when it comes to expanding our realm and spreading our generosity. Oh what word do you have with our other prisoner?” (Red armor soldiers comes to drags the newly turned Incubus out of the throne room while the Alice Mamonos follow after him giggling)

“Your Highness the Gazer claims that she was sent to by your sister Deruella.”

“Deruella? Great another one of my sisters are after him” Sighed QOH

“Another sister after him?” questioned Gabriel “You mean this isn’t the first one that you had troubles with? And who is this “HIM” person?”

The queen grabs a drink and takes a sip “Several days ago one of my sisters sent a dark Priest to negotiate terms with me but it didn’t go so well (Flash back shows the Dark priestess getting over whelmed by QOH summoned Axes) She tried to play my emotions and desires against me (QOH bites her lip before calming down) It’s just a matter of time before my other sister gets involved or worse Mother. (QOH starts turning younger) You’re done for now you can go home and as for “HIM” don’t worry about it I already got plans in order.”

Gabriel bows his head and disappears.

“Thank you Gabriel but I don’t want you involved. I can’t have you trying to kill Drake. I wonder How Blair’s doing on her mission?”

 BLAIR POV 

Blair appears in the woods just outside of Luna Lake

Blair begins investigating Luna Lake as the full moon slowly rises into the night sky “This place took some series hits from those hunters.” Blair begins sniffing the Air.

“There” whispered Blair as she teleports to the other side of the woods

“The scent of humans came from here. No Doubt this is where they attacked from but (Sniffs) there’s another scent over there (Blair teleports on top of a tree noticing clothe stuck on a branch) someone else was watching and It wasn’t the Gazer that Amelia brought back with her I would’ve recognized the scent.”

After a moment of thinking to herself Amelia ears begins to twitch. “Someone’s here” whispered Amelia as she hides on the tree.

After a few moments Blair sees a cloaked individual walking through the woods. “That’s funny I thought I felt her Aura here a moment ago….(Figure removes his hood revealing his blue eyes and white hair) HMM guess not. I can’t afford to wait here any longer. ”

Blair watches the figure disappears and then reappears at Luna Lake. “It’s him. He’s the one that was in this tree watching Luna Lake when it got attacked but why? Why is his scent foreign to me? (Blair begins to slowly disappear) I must follow.”

Blair reappears on top of a burned building watching the figure as he approaches a build with glowing blue runes on the door post. “Uh…an A Class barrier. I wonder oh he’ll get passed it?” (The figure walks right through it without the barrier reacting) “Is he a member here? Or is he skilled with teleportation? I’ll wait and see if he comes out or gets attacked.”

After hours pass Blair notices the figure walking back out with a smile on his face. “Everything is going better than expected. It shall come to pass tonight.”

“Come to Pass? What is he up too? (Sees the figure heading to another building) This settles it. I’m bring him before the Queen and let Gabriel get the answers out of him. But when should I make my mov…”

Blair gets interrupted by a voice from behind her “How about now?” (Blair quickly turns around slashing his chest open with her claws).

The figure falls off the building only to get caught by Chains Blair summon. “OUCH that hurts (Figure starts chuckling) I guess its bad luck sneaking up on a Cheshire cat”

Blair appears in front of the figure with her claws to his throat “'''SPEAK NOW, WHY ARE YOU HERE? ANDWHO ARE YOU?! (Blair starts thinking to herself) '''And how did he get behind me without making any noises or leaving a scent?”

“Well since I did startle you I could at least introduce myself. (The figure bows his head) I’m called Yoru. As for me being here I was just out for a wal…” Yoru gets interrupted by the chains slowly crushing him.

“'''SAVE IT YORU! '''You’re lies won’t work on me.” Growled Blair “You’re coming back with me”

“Uh…you know I would’ve been thrilled to hear that but sadly you picked the wrong time for this and the wrong opponent” Grinned Yoru before turning into smoke

Blair turns around slashing Yoru in the Face “That won’t work twice on me”

Yoru suddenly appears behind Blair grabbing her by the back of the neck and throwing her into the lake “It’s not the same trick silly cat.”

The Yoru that got scratched by Blair face begins cracking revealing a zombie face underneath it.

“AAHH (catching her breath) Two of them? (Blair takes a closer look noticing the zombie look alike standing back up) No he summoned an Ally. (Blair disappears from the water back into the woods) He knows teleportation, can cover up his scent, summoning, (Image of Yoru healed chest appeared) and some powerful regeneration. What is he?”

(Suddenly a kunai Misses Blair’s face by inches) Blair turns to see a Kunoichi lunging at her with her sword draw

“HE SUMMONED ANOTHER '''ONE!? ('''Blair dodges the sword kicking the Kunoichi in the face and starts running)

“Here kitty.” called Yoru as he appears in the woods (holds his right hand up calling the Kunoichi to him) “Where is she?”

(Kunoichi points) “She’s running that way but her speed is beyond mine”

(Yoru pats the Kunoichi on the head) “Let’s keep it that way.” (Yoru waves his hand summoning a seal allowing a Jurougumo to come out) “Go lay the trap. Like we discussed.”

(The Jurougumo bows her head and begins climbing up a tree)

(Blair starts sniffing the air) “Great another one. At this rate I won’t be able to capture him (Blair’s ears twitch) “AGAIN!” (Blair dodges the Kunoichi paper bomb) “At this rate I’ll have no choice but to kill this one.” (A bloody hand burst from the ground and grabs Blair’s leg from the ground) “WHAT?”

“HELLO CAT!” shouted the Ghoul

(Blair raises her hand in attempts to attack the ghoul only to be put in a full nelson by the Zombie) “DAMN ITHE COVERED THEIR SCENT SO I COULDN’T DETECT THEM!”

(The Kunoichi tosses a smoke bomb as the Jurougumo drops a cocoon over Blair, the Ghoul and Zombie trapping them inside)

“This smoke is a sleeping agent. (Blair thought to herself holding her breath) They’re trying to catch me. I’m sorry my Queen but I must abandon the mission for now (Blair teleports herself out of the cocoon)

“That’s enough. Open the cocoon.” Called Yoru (the cocoon slowly opens revealing the ghoul and zombie on their knees.”

“MASTER SHE ESCAPED PLEASE FORGIVE UP!” Growled the ghoul “OUR MISSION FAILED!”

“No, Everything went as planned (Yoru smirked) you all pleased me today. Now go…rest you all deserve it. (Smiled Yoru unsummoning the Mamono’s)

“That Cheshire is in for a surprise when she realizes what happens. (Chuckles) Now time to find Drake. (Grinned Yoru as he vanishes)

After a few minutes Blair reappears exhausted. “DAMN THAT YORU! (Calms down) Yoru is defiantly behind the attacks somehow. There’s no time I got to report to the Queen (Teleports but reappears in same spot) WHAT!(Tries again with same results) What did Yoru do to me I can’t teleport out of here?

(Blair looks around and notice a rune engraved on a stone wall) What a moment? (Blair begins looking around on here body and notices a rune on her leg. She begins rubbing the back of her neck feeling bump) “Now I understand. (Removes the bump from here neck revealing a small black gem) He used this to disrupt my focus causing me to forget about teleporting sooner and a location to teleport to. (Images of the ghoul grabbing her leg flashed in her mind) Then the ghoul place this on me linking my teleportation here But it doesn’t explain why I can’t teleport now. (Looking around Blair realizes where she is)”

“That’s great he used my teleport skill against me first the gem, then the rune and now that I’m In the Labyrinth I can’t teleport out unless I find the exit. I guess complaining now won’t help me (Sighs) might as we’ll start looking for the exit. Gabriel is going to freak when he hears about this”

 DRAKE POV 

After a few minutes of blinding light I finally appeared in the Labyrinth. (Drake throws up from being teleported) “AARG I hate teleporting.” I complained wiping my mouth and slowly begin standing up.

The air in the Labyrinth reeked of death, the sky was completely black, and the halls were lite by torches with blood red flames.

“(Sighs) Lets start then” (Drake walks for a few minutes before a trap door opens under his feet) “WHOA!”(Drake manages to grab the edge before falling in.) Looking down I can see old bones of the spike pits previous victims

“'''CRAP! '''(Drake pulls himself out of the pit) Okay this is how it’s going to be I’m going have to be carefu…. (Drake is interrupted by the walls changing position.) “Dang it.” (Drake dodges almost being crushed by the Labyrinth and keeps running)

After a few minutes of running dodging some minor traps I manage to find time to rest to gather my breath. (Drake sitting on the ground thinking to himself) This Labyrinth was hell, the walls changed every 5 minutes, Traps were everywhere, and I had no clue where Akira was. I could see now why Trial by Blood is rarely used.

(Drake gets back up and begins looking around) “Even with the walls moving and traps being triggered the Labyrinth is dead silent. Even my foot steps on the stone ground didn’t make any noises.”

It felt like Hours passed since I started the Labyrinth. I was getting badly exhausted and still no sign of Akira.

“COME ON OUT AKIRA YOU SPINELESS WORM!” I yelled in frustration (Suddenly a sharp pain goes through Drakes chest) '''AAARRRGGG! '''(Drake falls to his hands and knees having a hard time breathing)

As fast the pain came it quickly stopped. “DAMN (coughs) IT! I thought this crap was over.” (Stops for a moment ignoring the pain before rolling out of the way of a sword nearly taking off his head)

“DAMN YOU! YOU RUINED EVERYTHING!” Yelled Akira “IF YOU NEVER CAME TO THE VILLAGE I WOULD’VE HAD EVERYTHING!” (Swing his sword at Drake enraged)

 

(Drake Blocks Akira’s sword) “You brought that on yourself. Your lies and greed was your own down fall.” (Drake pushes Akira back)

'''“YOU WILL DIE! THAT’S ALL I NEED TO DO IS KILL YOU AND THE TRIAL WILL BE SETTLED! THEN SHE WILL BE MINE!” (Akira Lunges at Drake slashing at him)'''

“JUST SHUT UP AKIRA! EVEN WITH MY DEATH YOUR FATE HAS BEEN DECIDED AND KARA WILL NEVER ACCEPT YOU! (Drake deflects Akira’s strike sending him backwards on the ground) “Akira it’s over yield”

“Are you stupid or something. The only way to escape here is if one of us Die’s.” (Without warning Akira throws himself on Drakes sword)

“WAIT AKIRA!” I shouted

After Akira threw himself on my sword he leans close to my ear and whispers. “Sadly that’s something (suddenly drives his sword in Drakes chest) I can’t do.” (Pulls his sword out)

“'''AARGG! (Coughing out Blood) “YOU’RE…..AN IMMORTAL!”''' I yelled before falling against the wall.

“IT’S OVER I’VE WON!” Laughed Akira watching Drake fall to the Ground “AND NOW I”LL TAKE YOUR HEAD!” (Akira lifts his sword. Suddenly a Shadow Sphere Hits Akira sending him flying against a wall)

“Thank you so much.” Smiled Yoru “Disabling Drake like this will make things easier for me” (Yoru walks up to the unconscious Drake. Pulling out a scroll with a ruby on it) “Now let’s finish what I started” Grinned Yoru

“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!” yelled Akira as he tries to get off the ground.

The puddle of blood surrounding Drake forms into a red seal as Yoru starts chanting. “Power of Umbra and Tenebris hear my cry. Bestow thy power to thy servant, give me the strength to awaken thy slumber” (Akira lunges at Yoru only to be hit by black lighting) “Awaken and release your rage. Devour, Control, destroy thy enemies. AWAKEN BEAST OF THE NEW ERA!”

 

The red seal under Drake turns jet black and begins being absorbed by Drake. Akira watches in horror as Drakes Black Aura begins to grow and engulf his body. “What….have….you….done?” questioned Akira before lunging at Yoru again (In a split second Akira gets Punched in the chest by Drake shattering Yoru armor causing him to cough blood)

“The beginning of the New Era has begun.” Laughed Yoru

Akira slowly getting up off the ground grabbing his sword “I’LL KILL BOTH OF YOU!”

Drake lets out a monstrous roar as the shadow’s engulfing his body starts taking on an inhuman shape. Within seconds Drake is face to face with Akira. “NO!” screamed Akira as Drake slashes his right side clean open.

Akira turns around and starts running holding his bloody side. “'''WHERE”S THE TRAPS? WHY ARENT THE WALLS CHANGING? EVERYTHING STOPPED MOVING!” '''After a few minutes of running Akira notices his injuries are not healing. Stopping for a moment Akira rips one of the torches off the wall and burns his open cut. “AARRGG!...(breathing heavily leaning against the wall) WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? That injury should’ve killed him but he lived long enough for the other guy to arrive. HOW DID HE GET HERE? THIS IS A TRIAL OF BLOOD IT SHOULD JUST BE ME AND HIM!” Growled Akira before hearing a roar down the hall,

Without hesitating Akira starts running down the hall in a panic. His injuries leaving a trail of blood on the ground. (Akira lifts his head up to see Yoru in front of him)

 

“NO! STAY AWAY FROM '''ME! '''Shouted Akira (Turning around just in time to see the Labyrinth wall closing the path behind him)

“Aw what’s the matter Akira? Called Yoru “You wanted to create a monster so you can become the hero and now that he’s become one

you don’t want to play anymore.”

Drake appears behind Akira.

“Have fun Drake.” Laughed Yoru as he disappears

Soon after Yoru Disappears Akira slowly turns around only to see the shadow monster lunging at Akira bitten down on the right side of his neck causing Akira to let out a scream of horror followed by Drake’s bone chilling Roar.

Meanwhile the three fate sisters are watching Drake Devouring Akira from the White gem.

“Sister I believe we have our survivor” Claimed the younger sister

The older sister nods “I Agree. (Turns her head towards the elder sister) Is it done?”

“The thread of life has been cut. (Chuckles) I never would of thought I would see an immortal suffer that kind of fate” Replied the Elder sister.

“What about the other one?” Asked the older sister

“AH! The Cat. Since she didn’t interfere with Trial and was sent here against her will. We’ll release her.”

“I’ll do it” smiled the little sister (placing her hands together summoning an opening in the barrier for Blair) “there all done”

“I don’t think she’ll know it’s safe to leave.” Replied the elder sister (The gem shows Blair teleporting out of the Labyrinth) “Well I was wrong (Laughs) Oh that’s right this isn’t her first time here.”

 

“It doesn’t matter what about Drake?” questioned the little sister as three fates turn their head to see Drake slowing turning back to normal.

“Nothing. He’s won and that’s it, He has a role and we cannot interfere unless it’s the end of his life. Clean him up and allow the guards to get him. It’s going to be fun watching the development of a New Era.” Grinned the elder sister

The three sisters begin pointing at the white gem chanting summoning a seal around Drake teleporting him out of the Labyrinth.

 KARA POV 

It’s been hours since Drake was taken to the Labyrinth. All Kara could do was wait and see.

(The elder looks at Kara seeing her trembling) “It’ll be alright Kara your friend is stronger that he looks he’ll do fine”

“It’s just the Blood Labyrinth is an unforgivable place and after what he’s been through I don’t know if he stand any chance.”

“Uh..(The elder sits next to Kara) ever hear about the battle of Os Valley? (Kara shakes her head no) I thought not. It was a bloody war that took place between the order and the Demon Lord, and the Order won.

“War can go either way…what make this one any different?” Asked Kara

(The Elder takes a deep breath from her pipe) “True but then again it’s rare to hear about drafted soldiers risking their lives for others and defeating one of the Demon Lord Royal Guards in the process. I could tell you the whole story about it but I just wanted to make a point. If your friend is as dedicated and loyal as that soldier no matter how badly injured he gets, He can overcome any odds and win.” (Elder notices Kara relaxing)



A guard rushes in the room “'''My Lady the trial is over. Drake was victorious.”'''

“WHERE IS HE?” Demanded Kara

“Ma’am, he’s currently getting checked over by Galen for minor injuries

Without a moment later Kara rushes out the door and begins heading over to Galen’s place. Once there Kara rushes through the Door “GALEN!”

“In here.” Replied Galen (Kara walks into the room to see Drake sitting at the table drinking herbal tea)

“Drake you survived.” Kara mumbled in relief

“Uh Hey Kara. Why the sad face?” I asked

“How are you feeling and how did you beat Akira?” Kara asked while taking a seat

“I feel good just tired. (Drake takes another sip of his tea) As for Akira the Labyrinth killed him.”

“What?” Kara relied with a surprise look

“Yeah it’s weird I had my sword pointing at him and he got up and impaled himself on it. After he claimed to be immortal one of the labyrinth traps activated and took his head…It nearly took my head off too. After that I had a sharp pain in my chest and passed out.”

“He got lucky” Galen smiled as she gets up to get Drake another glass of tea.

“Drake…even though the trial has proved us innocent. The elder request’s that we leave the village and head to the valley of Fangs” sighed Kara “she said that the valley has the answers you’re looking for or at least the right direction.

Galen walks back in the room “Kara you better pack up. Everyone else is all ready to go.”

‘Wait you’re okay with this” Kara asked

“We’ve been thinking of traveling for some time and once we help Drake perhaps we can return. Got to think on the positive side every now or then otherwise life will be miserable.”

 

“I guess your right Galen.” Sighed Kara

Kara stand up and begins heading to her room to start packing but right before she leaves the room she takes another look at Drake before heading inside not realizing a faint shadow behind Drake watching her every move with its red eyes.
