Darkness...
I woke up in a cell hallway, bunch of those here. But this time no chains. I looked around. Only Shinrin and Zero where here with me. There were a bunch of cells around us. Some were empty and others... with something. Not sure what.
I heard some grunting in one of the cells in front of me. It looked like a big black wolf bear thing. Then it turned its head towards me. And went back to its nap.
I don't... even wanna know anymore.
When I looked back Shinrin and Zero were starting to wake up. Their eyes immediately turned to me.
" Master! You're okay!" Shouted Shinrin. She groaned a bit.
" You okay?" I asked worriedly.
" Yeah, I'm fine. Are you?" Asked Shinrin holding her gut.
" Okay, is what I'm not. " I answered as I put my arm on my gut.
" Some thing wrong Master?" Asked Zero worriedly.
" Randy... did something to me. I don't know what exactly but he took something called a Dark Heart from my chest. I don't know what it is or what it does but..." I continued worriedly.
" You had a Dark Heart?" Asked a voice that came from behind. I saw the bear thing standing up and talking.
" Okay... anyone else find that weird?" I asked out loud.
" That's not the point. You had a Dark Heart?" Asked the bear again. He had a cloak on.
" Yeah?" I answered.
" Normally I don't do this but you seem like a nice enough kid." Said the bear. " I'll make you a deal. Get me out and I'll help you beat Randy."
How can a talking bear help me defeat a guy that almost killed me in two moves?!
I don't trust him Master. He seems fishy.
Got that right.
" I know that you don't trust me by my looks but looks. But look." Said the wolf bear thing taking out its cloak showing huge scars in his back. " I have a score to settle with that asshole." Finished the wolf.
I thought about it.
He's probably the only ally we are gonna get in this place.
While that is true I suggest you think even deeper about this.
Hmm, I dunno. He... needs help.
What are you talking about?
You know the main reason I became a mage? Zero?
No, not really.
So I could help others in need.
Hmm.
I walked up to his cage. " I'll help you. Do you know your way around this place?" I asked the wolf.
" I have a general map of the place." Responded the the wolf.
" Okay, stand back." I told him. And he did. Then I pulled the the bars right out of the cell using my dragon arm, and broke his chains.
" Thanks. I really need to stretch my legs. Oh, by the way. Never caught your name." Said the wolf as he stretched.
" Xavier. Yours?" I responded as I held out my hand.
" Akari." Said the Akari as he shaked my hand with his, well, paw.
