A few more came at him even still. Both looking menacing as the first one Tai had defeated. The leader of this attack, seemed to be the in middle of the village, sitting calmly on the overflowing and broken water fountain. "Humans are pitiful creatures. bravery only leads them to a quicker death," the creature cackled. This creature, was Beatrice again. The same who had hurt Yuri so badly. Extremely short dark red hair, and blood red devil eyes that could be recognised for anyone who saw her and lived. Pale skin showed in the parts that her dress did not cover. The dress a ebony color, covering about every inch of her body, except for a split right down the middle, which revealed her stomach and parts of chest. The mark of the Shadow right on her chest, if it wasn't already evident that she was one. A few higher shadows stood around her, while the others continued to tear apart the village. "Why don't we do this more often mistress? I'd proof to help the underlings good to get more blood." "We have to give the humans more time to recover their numbers, otherwise it isn't as fun you see," Trice replied cooly and emotionless. |

This was going to be a never-ending battle as for as Tai could tell. Even if he defeated these two in front of him, many more were still running around. If only some of his comrades from Ponetera were here… One of the Shadows transformed into a praying mantis, while the other turned into a falcon. The falcon dove charging at Tai; Tai barely escaped the attack by rolling away. The attack had ceased though, as the mantis started slashing away at Tai. Tai had not yet recovered his stance yet; the scythe of the mantis was unavoidable this time. Thankfully, the Daishenben wasn’t just an offense weapon, but a versatile one. Quickly, he activated its effect, putting a barrier of wind between him and the scythe. Just when he had negated one attack, another one directed at him. The falcon dove again, this time hitting its mark. “Argh,” he gritted his teeth in pain. Falcon-form Shadow just drove its talons across Tai’s back. This time Tai was pissed off. Falcon’s partner, mantis wanted to take advantage of Tai’s absentmindedness and rushed at him, only to meet his death. Tai drove extended the Daishenben and drove it right through mantis’ heart (if he had one…). The supposed moment of lost thought was just to lure mantis to his trap. After being hit by falcon, he concentration didn’t decrease, but increased drastically. “Hey falcon, if you tell all your little friends to go, I’ll promise to let you live,” he remarked. Once again, the Shadow transformed, this time into a bat. It shrieked, releasing a shockwave. “I’ll take that as a no,” Tai leapt backwards, “So I guess I’ll just clip your wings then.” Tai restored the Daishenben back to its regular size, and shot several ‘wind blades’ at batboy. The bat flew out of the way, but the ‘wind blades’ came back around like a boomerang and got him on the back. Now the bat literally had its wings clipped off. Menacingly, Tai walked over to the fallen shadow, focused once again on his Daishenben, and drove it right through the middle of the bat. |

Rina hadn't felt any different from before. But the golden glow she had, faded into nothing just as it appeared. The sword and shield had faded too. Had she not been good enough or something? Is there sometihng she needed to do? Rina didn't know, the only thing they spoke was words she didn't understand. Turning back to face the window, Rina couldn't hlep but stare on. People were dieing or being trapped forever, and she couldn't do anything. Not a damn thing. People gave their lives, and so far have nothing in return. Livie whined slightly, while being put down on the couch and blanket over. Somehow the same thing that hit Rina earlier, hit Livie and he fell fast asleep just as she did. "I'm sorry Livie, but I have to do something. " And so, Rina raced out the door. To find the massacres were even more unbearable outside then inside the house. The scent of blood was practically everywhere. Rina clasped her hands together, raising them just above her chest to her neck, her head bent over so that her nose and lips touched her raised hands. Those words from before... were parts of the song her mother had sung to her. Is that what they were trying to say? And quietly to herself, she recited them but this time in a language everyone can understand. "In the dark- ness The dragon wakes. The dragon awakens. To a heart that is numbed with cold the dragon takes. With you at my side the dragon sleeps. On dragon wing your wishes will leap. Your wishes can bring forth a destructive future. Or you can bring salvation. In the dark- ness The dragon wakes. The dragon awakens. To a heart that is numbed with cold the dragon takes." As she sang, that glow surrounded her again but something more than just happened. Sudden bursts of light erupted from the darkened clouds and onto the city. The lower shadows that had came vanished, and those turned into shadows, reverted back to their normal selves. Those wounded or killed recovered. White as pure snow, angelic wings erupted from Rina's back, twice as long as her own arms were. A few stray feathers from things floated about, but nothing more. |

What just happened? A few moments ago Tai was still engaging in battle with a shadow, then it disappeared. “Is this an ability of theirs,” he wondered. He took a look around; other shadows were disappearing too! There’s no way they all activated their abilities at the same time. Something, or someone, must’ve driven them away. “I didn’t see anyone with that sort of capability walking into town though,” he mumbled. Tai breathed out in relief. Whatever it was, it sure helped. Shrugging it off, he made his way back to Rina’s house. As he turned the corner, he saw something that mesmerized him. The image of Rina with wings on her back! “What in the world…” was all he managed to say. |

Rina looked up from the ground, hands falling down back to the original spot infront of her legs. Despite the glow fading, the wings did not. In fact, they just folded behind her back and stayed in place. And just then, Rina saw Tai. "Tai! You're okay! I was worried that something happened." With that said, Rina rushed down to greet him, and practically tackled him with her hug, since she kind of dripped on one of the cement blocks sticking up from being paved a few years ago. Meanwhile... With the other shadows gone, Beatrice or Trice seemed to be the only one left. "Damnit to hell, what is this child?" And with that, alogn with her fellows disappeared but would return someday unlike her lower companions. |

Tai was ecstatic to see Rina, catching her in his arms. “Hey pretty gi—,” he paused, taking a look at her wings, “—angle.” Now that he held her in his arms this closely, he could clearly make out a pair of angel-like wings attached to Rina. “Why do you have you wings,” he asked dumbfounded, his brows furrowed. |

"So I guess that must make you my knight," Rina said, giggling a bit. She hugged him tightly and back away to give him room to breath. "Wings? ... Oh yeah. I really don't know. I'm still wondering why a ew things happened myself. And I don't quiet understand what I am anymore. I'm human right?" |

The question had caught him off guard. Snickering, Tai replied, “Of course you are, pretty girl. What else could you be?” Brushing a strand of hair out of Rina’s eye, “You’re just a special one, that’s all.” Just then, Tai froze. Something just instantly clicked for him. The glow from earlier, the disappearance of the shadows, the wings… if his speculations were correct, then there might just be an explanation to this all. Quickly, he asked Rina, “When you grew these wings, did you notice if the shadows were disappearing or not? Also, you have the ability to heal, correct?” If he was right, then all of this, including how his wounds have healed, was because of Rina’s mysterious power! |

Rina blushed again, for the third time since she met Tai. Smiling a bit as well. "No... I was really concentrating on helping everyone. From what I saw, was it getting bright. Or well it is bright now, but you know... And yes I have some abilities, but they aren't trained so all I really know how to do is heal small injuries and small diseases really," Rinareplied, thinking a bit with every sentence. "But something after you left... said something about me awakening." |

Something, after I left, spoke to her about an awakening? Then perhaps his speculations were correct. All this was Rina’s doing! “As much as I’d like to take credit for banishing the shadows, I can’t. It took me forever just to defeat a couple. I think that you were the one who’s responsible for them leaving. Because of your awakening, a surge of power must’ve been released from you body, quite possibly also the reason for your wings.” All of a sudden, it hit him. Crap! Rina let’s get back to your house immediately! If the shadows knew of her power, with it still being undeveloped, it’s sure to attract dangers. He hurriedly ushered Rina back to her house, keeping his guard up for any lurking dangers. |

"But you were still good out there-! Even though I didn't see... but I think you're right. Though it'd be a pain to have these wings all the time," Rina managed to say before being pushed back into the house. "Why, what's wrong?" Appareantly, she was totally oblivious to the fact she might be in dangers, not now but will be in the future. |

Once they were safely in the house, Tai loosened up a little. He locked the door behind him, not that it’d be much use against an attack. “Ok, now I think we’re safe.” Content with the situation, he led Rina to the area where Livie was occupying. “With you being awakened, and you giving off huge amounts of energy, that’ll cause trouble for the shadows. If they somehow founded you out, I’m sure they’ll attack; this time with high leveled ones too.” Diverting his eyes to the ceiling. “I won’t be able to protect you from them then. My winds won’t do a damned thing. Which is why you much master these new powers of yours, because I don’t want to lose you pretty girl.” Still avoiding eye contact with Rina, cheeks now turning reddened. |

Without another way, Rina hugged him tightly. "It's okay! It's okay... I don't want to lose you either. I'll train hard and make sure I have a hang of these abilities, so you dont' have to get hurt!" Rina couldnt' stand the sight of him dieing or in pain, or anything like what had happened to her foster parents orsome of the townspeople. "I want you to protect me, but... I don't want you to get hurt," Rina continued, tears now starting to swell up. |

Tai encased Rina in his own arms. “I’m sure you will. You’ll master those abilities then you’ll protect everyone, like a goddess. By your side, I’ll be protecting you, shielding you from any harm. I’ll never leave you side, okay? So please, don’t cry.” Noticing tears were forming in her eyes. He knew this was going to ruin the whole moment they have going on here, but he had to ask. “Aside from that, when I was battling, I saw this one person fighting with a shadow. In retrospect, I think it was his pet that was battling with the shadow? Eventually, they got overpowered; however, my question is what kind of pet was that? Can any pet do that, Livie, can he do it?” All of a sudden springing many questions of Rina. |

Rina replied with, "Okay. I promise that someday I'll be able to just that." And with the sudden change in moods Rina kind of blinked, also confused. At first she didn't know how to answer that. But she tried her best. "I on't know. Livie looks just normal, just anormal Labrador. Some pets that are normal, but there are some that can fight and use abilities. I haven't seen many myself. So I can't tell you much after that. I think some place has a shop for those kind of pets...?" |
