The Esthrian Light: Passion Among Arms (Aeriona and GoD Original)

[GodofDeath]

“I thought I told you to mind your own business and leave us alone. Go find your two friends!” Jin yelled angered by the fact that Albel still hadn’t taken the hint for the chance to go check on Serenity and his friend. “Taking the throne really isn’t my style and having you by my side is something I would rather dead then actually have.” Jin said annoyed by the fact that he had hesitated and let Terrani out of his grasp so easily. “You might as well send all your men now because I’m not bringing you shit. Plus Serenity’s a big girl she doesn’t need my protection nor would she even want it since she can take care of herself.” Jin said trying to get a few last words in before Terrani had completely disappeared from his sight yet again. You have no clue who she is…She’s our way to be revived. Were the words that echoed in Jin’s mind as he tried to figure out what Terrani had meant by it and if maybe she was using another sneaky under handed trick into fooling him to go back to her for more answers.

Another prefect chance to kill her and I let her get away without even a scratch. Jin thought as he clenched his arm and made a fist out of the hand he had been holding Terrani with, as he couldn’t figure out what it was that held him back from finally bringing an end to Terrani wretch life, another chance to avenge the death of a particular person and he had easily let escape from his grasp. “Damn it!” Jin suddenly yelled out as he let out all the frustration that had been building up in him and bashed the hilt of the sword in his right hand against in the near by wall of the inn room, unintentionally leaving a dent in the wall where it had hit. Jin then quickly cooled down after realizing what he had done and looking at Destiny who had seemed to have entered the room when he wasn’t paying attention. “No need to apologize nothings happening here anymore, anyway.” Jin managed to say in a clam as he placed his word back into the strap on his back and looking over at Destiny after hearing her apologize.

“I’m sorry for the way I acted before and about everything that happened, it was entirely my fault, you all were involved.” Jin said apologizing as sincerely as he could before walking away in attempt to get out of the room as quickly as possible. Making his way out the door before Destiny could herself, Jin started walking towards the entrance of the in so he could leave but suddenly stopped when he noticed Serenity. “Look I know I’m probably the last person you want to talk to right now because of everything I did a couple minutes ago…but I have to warn you that if your really planning on going to the dark kingdom right now, that’s is seriously one of the stupidest things you can do at anytime, especially now that Terrani is after you for some strange reason.” Jin said looking at Serenity and wondering if she was going to bother listening to any advice he gave her. “If you want to live you’re going to have to listen to me and get as far away from there and even out of this town. Find a place that you know is safe from everyone even your fiancé and friends and then hide there.” Jin said as seriously as he to Serenity as waited to hear her response before walking out of the inn.

Serenity thought about what she heard form Terrani and shook her head. It doesn't make sense.. why would they need me?It couldn't anything... important. She thought until she was interupted by Jin's voice. "You are right, I don't want anything to do with you and I heard everything." She said, standing up and crossing her arms so that she hid the tattoo. "I don't know why you are even worrying about me since you just said that I am nothing. I will take care of myself and if it is by getting rid of this curse put on me, so be it." She said, angrily and looked him straight in the eyes. "I guess this is where we split." She said, walking out of the inn and looking around the street. She gripped her arm, walking quickly towards the entrance of the town and looking back at the inn. Her whole body was tense from the pain running through her body adn she had no clue what was wrong. Something with the light portion because it was the ancient language which not many people know. She took out a knife from her boot and walked out of the town. She was heading towards her house to get a few supplies and then it was off to somewhere. I can't believe that he had the nerve... to talk to me! He has no ri..., She stopped thinking as she shook her head and a few tears fell down her cheek. Her pace became slower as she became more upset but she kept telling herself that it was just a problem.

Terrani appeared in the fort of the Dark kingdom and slammed her fist on the table. "Shit, he isn't going to bring her. Jason. send the first batch of my men. They are not to hurt her in any way until we get what we want." She yelled and glared at Jason who moved slowly. She paced back and forth in the room as she thought about her next approach. "Get the friends first and draw her into us. Jin will not protect her so they will have challenge!" She yelled, looking up as five of her men appeared. "We need her by the anniversary!! Get a move on." Her anger was growing and she was becoming unpatient.

Albel only sighed, getting even more confused as time kept passing. Terrani had vanished in plain sight, Serenity left in tears, Destiny... well, he didn't even know what she was doing, and Jin was standing directly in front of the inn's entrance, having not left yet. He seemed to be in his own little world of thought, trying to repel anyone from getting near it.

Albel slowly walked up behind the man, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Hey Jin... I- I don't really know what's going on. I don't really know who the heck that Terrani is, I don't know why Serenity is so upset, and I dont' know how the heck you fit into all this..." Taking his hand away from him, he pumped his arm, and put on a stern look. "... but about what that woman said, you aren't like her! You can't be compared to her, because you... you helped out someone who needed help! People filled with darkness don't do that sort of thing!"

Albel smiled sincerely, taking a small step back and pointed his finger towards Jin. "As evil or dark as you may think you are, you're not! I know I don't know who you really are, but I can tell you have a light in your heart, one that still kindles within you! You just haven't realized that it's been burning all this time!" He gave him a big thumbs up, as well as the biggest grin he could muster. "So c'mon, stick around so we can get Serenity back with us, and figure this mess out together!"

Destiny looked at Jin as he passed her. "Oh okay.", she said knowing he didn't even hear her nor did he care. She watched over Jin's shoulder as Serenity told him she was leaving and watched her walk away. She watched Albel come up to Jin and talk to him. Destiny was trying to understand what was happening, and who this Terrani was. "Well if you two would excuse me. It was nice to meet you Jin.", she gave a short smile. "Albel, I hope to see you again soon.", she smiled at him and quickly squeezed through the door. Destiny knew she had to get back as soon as she could. She started down the street and looked around her. What if there were people watching now. They could be following her to get to Serenity.

She walked as fast as she could back to Serenity's house. She didn't know if Serenity had gotten there yet, but hoped she got there safely. "Oh please Serenity be careful.", she whispered under her breath.

Jin stared back at Serenity as she looked to his eyes, as he wondered why it seemed that she seemed to be hurt form what he had said earlier. Even if it wasn’t the truth when he said she meant nothing to him, he couldn’t figure out why cared so much about what he had said as it barely had been a full day since they met and he was pretty sure he hadn’t done anything that would have made her care for him. “A curse really isn’t something that can be gotten rid of easily.” Jin said underneath his breath as he watched Serenity storm off, and taking note of how she seemed to be holding onto her as she did so. A little light goes a long way… Terrani’s finally words suddenly came into Jin’s mind as he looked at Serenity walking away, unsure of the fact that if going after her to help was something that Terrani actually wanted him to do.

Maybe she was right what right do I deserve to life for after all I ju… Jin’s thought was suddenly interrupted as he felt someone place their hand on his shoulder and began talking. Jin looked back to see who exactly it was and after noticing that it was Albel, Jin decided it was best to remain quiet as he listened to all of what Albel had to say to him. “Thanks for the speech I honestly really needed someone to tell me that.” Jin said with a very the very slight hint of a faint smile as looked at Albel feeling a little bit better about himself because of what he heard Albel say. “And seriously thanks for the offer, but I caused you three enough trouble already especially for Serenity. It’s probably best I leave you guys alone because all I’ll bring if I stick around a bit longer is just more trouble.” Jin said to Albel after nodding his head to what Destiny had said and watching her leave knowing that she was probably going after Serenity. “I know I really don’t have to say this to you, but do me a favor and keep a close eye on your friends and make sure that they aren’t hurt.” Jin said as he turned away from Albel and slowly started to walk away from him, heading in the opposite direction that he had seen Destiny head in.

Serenity walked up onto her porch and looked around at her deserted house. She unlocked the broken door and went inside as she shut the door behind her. It was so quiet in her house and nothing looked out of place except for the footsteps that were on her floor. Those must have been from when they came into her house and she had gone. She went into her room and grabbed a bag, stuffing it with different items. She changed her clothing so that her arms were covered and the tattoo couldn't be seen. The light still came from it sut she put another jacket on to cover it. She breathed in while sitting on her bed and exhaled when her heartbeat became faster. Her anger had made her confused and disappointed in herself. She looked around her room that had been torn apart and sighed. She stood up and walked into her kitchen, grabbing all the knives from her drawers and anything she could use as a weapon. She wrapped them up in some cloth and placed them into her backpack. She braided her hair, trying to get it out of her face and walked into her living room.

Serenity stopped when she saw a man standing in the middle of the room. "Serenity?" He said, running over to her and slamming her against the wall, shoving his arm into her neck. "Terrani wants you alive." He said, roughly and stuck a knife up to her neck. "Come with me, quietly. I do have the orders to hurt you if I must." He said, quietly and she could just look at him. "Did you hear what I said!" He yelled, and she just stood there. "I..can't..breath!" She said, taking a breath between every word. He slowly back away from her neck and kept his knife near her throat. She grinned and slammed her hand into his arm, bending it around his back. "You have no clue!" She said, butt her head into his so that he fell back and she stood in a defense position. "You little brat!" He said, coming towards her and throwing a punch. She grabbed his arm and kicking his knee in. He fell into a kneel and she threw her hand into his neck. "So is this the best Terrani has?" She asked, as he spun his leg around and tripped her onto the ground. She fell back onto the floor, hitting her head hard and knocking the breath out of her lungs.
