The Bearers Of The Dust Eyes

It had seemed like any regular water run we've made in the past, kinda boring if you ask me, but I couldn't shake the feeling that there was something or someone watching us. My dad said it was nothing and to just let it go.

I was letting my little sister ride on my back cause she had been getting tired and when I looked at her she had fallen asleep. We came to the river that separated the forest from the desert, kinda weird if you ask me. My dad took off his back pack and took out the water canteens that he had packed a day earlier and started to fill them for the journey home and the months ahead.

I laid down and stared up at the sky. It was blue like a seaside. I always wanted to see what was beyond that sky and to see the ocean. I closed my eyes and laid back. I felt a pressure on my chest. When I opened my eyes and looked down I saw Yui's Silver hair across my chest. I guess she was tired to. She was looking at the sky to.

"I wanna leave this desert someday and see the world and all it's beauty's" she told me.

"I'll take you someday sis I promise you"

"I trust you Siad I know you'd never lie to anyone."

I felt so warm inside once I heard her say that. I've never left someone cause I was loyal, never hurt anyone with a lie, and I never betray someone cause of my bond with people.

I felt the sand starting to vibrate. something big was coming.

"Yui get up something's coming and it's big."

"What is it?" she asked with confusion on her face.

"Stay here"

I started to climb one of the desert rocks that had a good vantage point. I moved up using every inch and crack in the rock to propel myself upward moving like I was weightless.

When I reached the top I looked out, the breeze that is always present in the desert blew against the parts of my face that weren't covered by my mask and blowing my silver hair back.

I had trained my eyes to spot things that couldn't be seen with the average eye. I concentrated all my senses to look out into the desert but saw nothing out of the ordinary.

The shouts of terror from my little sister sent a shiver down my spin and broke my concentration.

"What hap....." I began to say as I turned around. I froze in my place looking at the horror that I didn't want to believe.

"No....... NO!!!!!!" I yelled in despair, anger, sadness, so many emotions I couldn't name everyone I felt.

My father was raised in the air, about 60 feet, a point pierced his chest blood flowed out of his mouth and from where he was pierced. When I looked to see what's had attacked my dad I saw something I never thought would have came around the desert. It was a Death Stalker. I saw the blood from my father dripping down on onto the top of its body staining it's black armor like skin with crimson liquid.

The beast threw my father like a doll of of its stinger and turned its eyes to my sister. She fell backwards in horror and fright. My rage started to take over and I could feel all the hatred well up in me.

I noticed a hood figure riding on top of the Death Stalker. The cloak that it wore was black and had a Symbol on it. It looked like a Eight Trigram.

"So your this pathetic rebels spawn are you?" The hooded figure said its voice sounding so demonic. "I'll take your life right now, my friends are already heading for your whore of a mother."

"Si....ad!!!!" My father yelled his voice barley noticeable. "Use the shoulder plates I gave you, touch the symbols and use it's power to SAVE YOUR SISTER!!!!"

In my rage and anger I pressed the symbols on both the shoulder plates. Suddenly the shoulder plates started to extend out covering my arms like a second skin. it covered my whole arm and hand.

I leaped forward and landed in front of my sister which put me between her and the hooded figure and the Death Stalker.

"So you're the dust child huh?" the hooded figure said with a sneer. The teeth of the figure showed with it's mocking grin. Sharp teeth ready to tear flesh from the bone showed.

"What are you talking about?" I said. "You know what I don't care, all I know is that your the murder of my father and your death is eminent for what you've done."

"You really think you could beat me? Foolish child, no experiment can kill me, no wait no abomination can kill me. I know what's under that mask. The markings under that mask marks you for death and I'll be the one to bring you to him."

"Under this mask you say? Call me what you want. Human, Experiment, or Abomination. All I care about is my sister's safety. Now stop your talking, draw your weapon to give yourself some chance before you die."
