<span style="font-weight: bold">"Is it me or are you one giant moogle?"</span>she asked groggily. Donta smiled, something he hasn't done in a long time.<br/><br/>"At least you still have your senses." he said. She winced, raising her hand where Donta watched as an emblem of white wings appeared on the back of her hand. His eyes went wide when he recognized it as one similar to his own. A spirit has chosen her to be it's avatar. Perhaps the one of this temple? Donta looked up for a moment at the large painting of a serpent in the sky.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Quetzalcoatl."</span>came a voice in his head,<span style="font-style: italic">"The Sky God."</span><br/><br/>"Quetzalcoatl..." Donta repeated under his breath. When the seal had finished forming, the girl continued<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"I think I'm a little numb but other than that---" She paused for a split second before her large bunny ears picked up massive sounds of footsteps. Soldiers...Soldiers meant blame...and blame meant her or this giant moogle? Could she really be that crazy? "OK maybe Im not that numb." She muttered but before even standing a dull ache in her head resounded and she brought her hands to her head in pain.Flashes of what happened ran through her head. The pain became excruciating and she began to scream as if fire was shooting through her veins. Her hands desperately wanted to point in the direction of where the soldier's were coming from but the excruciating pain inside her head forced her to forget the need. </span><br/><br/>Donta was standing at her side. He heard the footsteps before she started screaming from obvious pain, but for an outsider to walk in, see all the blood and bodies, a screaming woman in the middle of the room, then a Ninja in front of her with many blades on him, one could come to the wrong conclusion. He heard the footsteps getting closer, the cries of anger from the guards as they found bodies, the crying and the lurching from the weak stomached. All just outside the temple doors.<br/><br/>Panicking, he wanted to run, but he couldn't just leave this girl who needed his help. He quickly took her arm and pulled her towards the back room, carrying her if she could not walk, and closed the door behind them just as the guards made their way into the main hall. He listened for a moment then heard,<br/><br/>"You, check the back rooms!"<br/><br/>His heart went to his throat and looked around the room in a panick. There was a tall window he could climb through, but it would be hard to carry her through it without making noise. In desperation, he pulled her across the room, and opened a tall wardrobe, stepped inside and pulled her inside as well, making sure to close the door as quietly as he could. Again, his timing was perfect, because the door closed just as the guard walked in.<br/><br/>It was not a large wardrobe and there wasn't much space for the two of them. He could see she was still in pain but held his paw to his lips to tell her to stay quiet. The guard was just about to leave, when Donta heard the captain in the main hall bark another order.<br/><br/>"Leave no stone unturned! Check in every closet. In every drawer if you have to!" he yelled.<br/><br/>Well Kupo to that....<br/><br/>The guard huffed in annoyance and went straight for the wardrobe. Donta quickly pulled a priest's robe from behind him to hang in front of the door, then reached around the back of it to grab the girl's arm.<br/><br/>"Inviz!" he whispered, then held his beath.<br/><br/>The door swung open and the guard looked inside. He even looked right at Donta's face but saw nothing, then moved the robe out of the way with the tip of his sword. He didn't linger much after that. Shrugging, he slammed the door shut once more and left the room. Donta released the breath he was holding.<br/><br/>"Too close." he muttered. With the coast clear, he quietly got out of the wardrobe, and pried open the window, guiding the woman through it.<br/><br/>"Know anywhere we can go? I'm kind of new to the area." he whispered.<br/><br/><br/>-----------------------------------<br/><br/>Sain woke with a start in his room of the inn, and had to get out of bed. He made his way to a basin and washed his face, looking up into a cracked mirror at his scarred covered body. Too many experiments over the years with magic. Too many mistakes.<br/><br/>"You woke me." he said to his reflection. A voice in his head responded.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"I did. And for good reason."</span>Diabolos responded,<span style="font-style: italic">"I sense one of my brethren close by and he is quite perturbed. I fear he may become....disruptive."</span><br/><br/>"A spirit is mad? Why?"<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"I do not know, Sain. I simply sense great anger. From the mountain's nearby."</span><br/><br/>"And you wish for me to interfere with his outrage?" he asked his reflection.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"I thought you would be interested in protecting your world and the people in it. If he were to cause damage, it would be immense."</span><br/><br/>"Point taken." he said. At this point, Sain had already put on his robes and put his bag around his shoulders so it rested comfortably between his dark wings. Lifting his scythe he used the end of the handle to poke open the window. Stepping up to it, he jumped outside and flew up into the night sky towards the mountain.<br/><br/>"Let us see if we can pacify this spirit." he said.
