*after a time.. one story writer came back after a huge battle with his projects and assignments...*
cont from:
None of the council spoke up, until after a few minutes of silent and calm waiting(or in Tanahon and Verdana's case, silent, nerve wracking wait) Jaczie spoke up...
"we have rumours that the dark aLt clan have plan to assasinate our two young warrior. what makes matter worst.. they send Tourniquet the Stealth."
the whole room filled with wispers. one of the council members raise his hand and the wispers broke into silent.
"I must say, this is grave news to our ears Jaczie. We tried years to stop Stealth but he slipped off every time.. hence we give him that nickname.."
Jaczie look at the tall, fair coucil guardian.
"that i fear, iMaster.. Stealth might succeed this time. over the years he may have come up with more cunning and crafty ways which we are not prepared for!"
"then we should hide the boys!" another coucil guardian interrupted.
"with all due respect DeathsFang. Hiding wouldn't solve anything and it doesn't help at all! of all people you should know! you been hiding from him every since you're a target and he gets to you every time! you survive is only cause you have Blink spell up your sleeve. even with that, you didn't escape the blade the ran a scar over face!"
"AT LEAST I SURVIVED!" retorted the aggitated DeathsFang.
"does it change anything my dear friend? you're still in hiding.. always filled with fear! you don't even dare to sleep alone at night without all the candles litted up! i say we should start training these boys harder and let them fend for themselves! should they die to such petty tricks from aLt they aren't worthy of being part of the forseen war ahead anyway!"
the council room filled with wispers again..
Verdana and Tanahon looked at each other.. knowing the days ahead would be darker then ever.
"Fine my dear friend Jaczie.. we will follow suit to your suggestion.. but i will assign you to see that these boys would be well prepared against Stealth. with that do leave the boys with us for the moment. i would like to know their capabilites better."
"if that must be done iMaster" Jaczie left the room knowing the boys would be in a hell load of pain.. with her heart aching for them, she pray that all will end well...

"now boys.. i heard that you both inherit skills from your late fathers.. before i carry on further.. let me introduce myself... i am iMaster.. one of the High guardians of this council, battle strategist for both your fathers in the last great battle.."
the tall guardian stared deep into the eyes of Verdana and Tanahon.
"you both don't look much to me.. i guess you both are only at 0.1% of what your fathers can do.."
"Haha.. what a shame.." smirked DeathsFang
"you guys had just heard Jaczie that i am also a target of Stealth.. i guess the reason they target me shouldn't be the same as yours.. you guys are targeted because the aLt clan and it's Crazies believe that you guys can save the world and stop them. but for my case, it's not because i am the son of the Great MoonGlade and Kowi but.."
the scarred face guardian lean towards boys and said
"the son of Nirvana..."

The boys gasped out loud, shocked about what they had just heard. DeathsFang however, was not at all fazed by their reactions but instead smiled gently at them. Finally Verdana found the words to say.
"B...But th...th...then why are you in the council? Why did you not fight at your father's side?"
Jaczie immediately shouted at Verdana.
"Do not question DeathsFang's actions boy! He has been a valuable ally in the war and has been a godsend in our times of need!"
"Its ok Jac. Im sure the boy did not mean it that way, hes just curious. Reminds me of his father.", said DeathsFang, not even bothering to look up at her but instead smiled even more at the boy.
"Well Verdana, to answer your question i have to tell you about my past. You see Nirvana was not always evil. In fact, he was once an a great knight in the past and defended our city time and time again. I was an ordinary boy back then, proud of my father and hoping one day to be just like him.
However, one day everything changed... An evil warlord had invaded the kingdom and my father rode out to challenge him head on! Although my father bested his opponent, the warlord had wounded him greatly and in his dying breaths spoke in a language long forgotten and made his sword shine a dark light while it was still inside my father. The warlord's army ran after seeing their leader defeated but there were no cheers from our people, for we feared that my father would die. For three days and three nights our city's clerics worked long and hard to save my father. And finally, on midnight of the third night my father was saved. Everyone rejoiced at my father's survival and parties were held all over the city. But... my father was never the same.
My father often took to his study and began to practice his sword-play with the defeated warlord's sword. After a year of seeing my father's changed lifestyle I sneaked into his study to find out what he had been up to for the past year. Inside the study i found strange books which looked to be filled with knowledge, i opened one and was surprised to find that i could read a language which i had never even seen before. But, that was not the biggest surprise that day. For in those books contained..."
"For in those books contained the evil secrets of the defeated warlord's sword and how to unleash it's power onto the world. For you see the blade was cursed, such that whoever killed it's previous owner would become corrupted by the power of the blade and would be consumed by it's desire to conquer the world. The blade also granted it wielder great power which gives the wielder the ability to conquer the world... However, certain... rituals had to be done before the sword gave power to it's owner, or else it would just corrupt its wielder's mind without granting him/her its power. I was at a lost for words when I read the ancient texts... To think that my great father was being corrupted was too much for me to handle... And just as I was about to run away from the horrible texts, I heard a voice behind me.
Well... well... well... I guess the cat is out of the bag now huh?"

"Holy Mezza! why are you doing this father!" DeathsFang could no longer see the handsome smiling father of his in that robed figure..
The once Holy Knight, has bloodshot eyes staring back at his only son..
" i am no longer your father sonny! wahaha.. that holy knight father of your is locked in a deep dream in this mind.. " the dark figure pointed at his own head.. "he's in here.. no longer here" moving his finger to the heart..
"GET OUT FROM MY FATHER BODY YOU MONGREL!" DeathsFang is lost.. teary eyes.. being helpless now is the last thing he wants but he's not able do anything to bring his father back...
"Haha.. Nirvana is lost to you now boy.. From now on.. as long as i control this body it's Lord Cruxis to you punny human!" and with that, dark smoke filled the room and the figure vanished.
Verdana and Tanahon couldn't utter a single word upon hearing how Nirvana ain't evil at all but was possessed by an evil soul..
"Why do we still refer him still as Nirvana even though he made himself known as Lord Cruxis?" ask the curious Verdana.
"well it's hard to forget your father ain't it boys.." DeathsFang walked towards them. Tanahon saw a glist in the eyes of the guardian. "it must be hard for him to tell this story to us.. it still hurts" Tanahom mumbled to himself..
"by calling that Lord Cruxis by his name is shaming my father's body.. and we still call him Nirvana is in hope that my father can hear our call of his name and come back to us..."
Everyone knows that it's almost close to impossible to get their Holy Knight back unless the soul is able to break the spell and regain control of it's body through sheer willpower..
Seeing DeathsFang walked out of the coucil room.. Verdana and Tanahon knows it's best not to stop him and probe further to what Stealth have done to him...

After a long day in the coucil room with the guardians, Verdana and Tanahon finally left and head back to their chamber.
"Gosh.. are they trying to test our mental strength or what! the endless discussion is killing my ears!" exclaimed Tanahon.
"Haha.. i was trying not to fall asleep in the meeting.." Laugh Verdana.
"Thank Lord Mezza that you didn't.. i don't wish to see you get fried by a Plazma Bolt spell from one of the guardian.. i dare bet it will hurt 100 times den what Paw did to you.." Tanahon looked up into the sky filled with stars. "Do you ever regret of what you are now eh Verdana? like don't you wish you're just a son of a lowly farmer and not having to shoulder this sort of burden?"
"I do.. but what's done is done.. i can't change who my father is.. we can't change the fact that we going to be part of that battle ahead which may cost our lives.." Sighed Verdana.. " i just want to go home and play sc2....."
*OPPS OFF TOPIC GUYS*
"i just want to live those peaceful days where life is so carefree.. i dun have to worry bout people trying to hunt me down.. riding Throty (his steed) through lush green pasture at the back of our house.."
"well for now let's get some sleep.. it's going to be a hell of a training for us again.." Tanahon picked up his pace.
"Last one in bed is a rotten swarp drake!" Tanahon sprinted off..
"HEY!!!!!!!!! WAIT UP YOU GOOFBALL!" yelled Verdana who is trying hard to keep up pace with Tanahon..

As the two boys ran off towards their rooms, a pair of eyes gazed towards them in the shadows of the rafters above...
Torniquet had been in the rafters outside the council room since the two boys had gone inside, patiently waiting for them to emerge so that he may do the deed his masters wished for him to do. However, it was too risky to kill the boys right then and there. For although it was easy to sneak past the guards, it was not quite as easy to kill the two boys while they were out in the open in full view of everyone in the castle.
However, the time to strike was nearing as the two boys were walking into their own deathtraps as they headed back to their rooms, where Torniquet could finish them off nice and quietly while they were all alone...
The thought of killing the two boys brought a smile to Torniquet's lips as he silently ran through the rafters, passing the boys and heading to their rooms where he could hide himself, before they arrived, and kill them once they fell asleep...
