I kept tossing and turning in bed, i didnt worked up the courage to look at the USB Soleil gave me, and after that encounter, Kanaria took me to the archives of the order she requested permission to get the details of the accident that happened two years ago, she belives that the place where the train was crushed could be connected to the shirine in some way, I dont think i will be able to fall a sleep even if I wanted to, i sat on the guest room Kanaria let me use, as for the guys they were sleeping in the living room, Kanaria did offered them rooms but Yun refiused to take any “sorry i dont think i could fall asleep in any of them… not even my old room would help” Anre surrounded him with his big muscular arm and satiated much to Kanas annoyance “We can have a sleep over here, it would be just like the old times back at the maw!” surprising everyone Yun agreed with out making any sort of remark or taking Anre´s arm off “you know that sounds great, that way Yun will have someone around him if he need something” Kanaria said but on the inside i knew she was screaming.
Maybe if I asked nicely they would let me join the sleepover, I put on my sleepers and a hoodie over my sleeping clothes and wander through the hall, this hose is so big and creepy, is like at any moment I will turn a corner and saw a zombie eating someone or like a horrible creature will rear its ugly head, “Sis… Hurry!” the voice came back but like before I didn't notice anyone around, but what I did spot was that the front door was opened I looked at the living room and saw that Yun and his backpack were missing, oh no, what if he left to keep us safe? there weren't any signs of struggle, “Guys wake up!” I shook them but to no avail, I spotted some mugs with hot chocolate and upon closer inspection “Yun… why did you put sleeping aids on their drinks?!?” no time to waste I ran out the front door and into the night, I promised I´ll help Yun no matter what and I intend to fulfill that promise.
Just like Yun said, there was a light rain pouring down from the night sky, there were no stars as they were covered by the black and stormy clouds, Okay I needed to concentrate if I was able to hear Yun and Parker back at the woods I should be able to locate Yun now, I closed my eyes and concentrate on using my gift, I have been practicing to be able to use it more naturally, in a moment all other sounds were muffled, not even the sound of the rain was audible thump thump I can hear a heartbeat, slightly agitated and with a steady rhythm “I didn't forget… no way I forgot… can you… direct me to where I need to go? … the graveyard? … I understand”
“... no… it can't be… who is he talking to? I can't link to anyone else there” I shook my head and ran to the graveyard, luckily for me I saw it early on our way back from the order, Yun had a head start on me but I should be able to cut through some streets I just hope he has a good explanation for all of this, it´s really unlike him to do any of the things he has done tonight, when I managed to get to the graveyard I found him, kneeling in front of the same monolith I saw on his memories, why would someone put this here? it wasn't a replica it was the actual thing, I would recognize all of the jagged edges any day of the week he started to go through his bag I took cover behind a grave and watched as he took the things he bought out and placed them in front of the monolith “I´m sorry… I brought you some things to let you all know I haven't forgotten any of you… for my favorite artist, I got you pastel paint I know you… had like them… for the athlete star I got you this bat I… remember you wanted a new one… for the brave father I got you some protection for your head… and for my little princess another locket yours got… damaged…”
he kept thinking to himself, thinking of memories of all of his kids, “Sis… it's sad isn't it?” I felt a hand on mine and when I looked at it I saw Queena Holding my hand, the same girl from Yun´s memories she noticed I was startled “Is okay sis, I´m not a ghost, well we are not ghosts” behind a gravestone Alina, Zilas, and Rue appeared, “why are you here? how can you be here?” I asked, looking back at Yun who was still prying at their gave, “The dumb professor won't let us go…” Zilas said “Como on Zi, is not like he doesn't want to, but rather he can't” Alina mentioned.
“Karolin, if we have to put it in words we are fragments of Yun, the parts he can´t bring himself to burry” Rue informed me as the rain poured on me “I don't like when Mr. Yun is sad nor when that woman talks to him…” I looked at her, “Kanaria? but she is cool I think” Rue shook his head “No, no, we love Kanaria… remember when he turned into the thunderbird?” I nodded and looked back, his lower back was cracked as a group of men approached him, pipes in hand, by the looks of it they were a group of workers from town, “A woman” Alina continued, “A woman told Yun right to his head “is this how you lose another kid?” and guided by her words he turned into that monster” Queeina got upset at the declaration “Mr. Yun is not a monster, he is a hero! heroes can't be bad, but that woman makes him think hurting innocents and himself is what he should do!” she fell to her knees and started to sob, Alina calmed her down while I looked at the men now very close to Yun.
“Well, well, looks like we found the Vulter” Yun paid no mind to his words he continued praying “We can bring him in so when the Knights of Twilight come they will just execute him” one pointed out and held his pipe ready in case Yun tried something “why should we wait he did horrible things to kids, to his kids of all things, we should kill him right here and now!” the leader of the pack hit Yun in the head with his pipe I try to move but I quickly realized something more dangerous had taken place, the pipe was held inches away form Yun´s skull fain purple energy forbids it from reaching him, the man tried to run away when they realized the danger they were in.
“Hey…” Yun started to talk in a somber and low tone “What in god´s name do you think you are doing?” the man´s eyes snapped open when Yun stood up, lighting from the skies Illuminated the ground, letting the man see Yun´s now golden eyes shining with anger and malice “wh… why can I run? mo… monster what did you do?!?” on the ground was a massive magnetic crest created by Yun, the colors were darker this time around “Workers form the factory line I see… your boots still had metal at the base… look at the ground NOW!” in his rush to enact justice the mand has stepped on the toy locket Yun bought for Queena, one of the tiny wings broken under his boot.
“That… you did all this for that piece of-” Yun slapped the man in the face so hard that a few teeth fell to the ground “End that sentence… I dear you!” the man sobbed and held his wounded face but dared not to finish, “... Yes I do agree with you,” Yun said to the air as the rain took up intensity “Sis stop him!” Queena cried all of them looked in horror as Yun walked and grasped at the man's head walking him to one of the monolite's sharp and jagged edges “Wow… wow is not that serious… I´ll… I´ll buy you another one! please!” “huh? why do people always say the same thing right before a just punishment? I am unsure myself, kids do it in order to get just a slap on the wrist however” Yun pulled the man's head and moved it closer to the spike the man was now in a panic crying and cursing but before his head touched the spike Yun stopped and said, “Apologies to her!” “I´m so… I´m sorry I have a little girl her age she can come here and play with your girl just let me go! Don't take her daddy away from her!”
“Please!” the other man said as he let his pipe go, the last one had already untied his boot and ran for his life “If you let us go… we won't say a single word to anyone” Yun bit on his lip, was he trying to fight the urge to do harm to others I started to run towards him when I noticed his arm was about the stamp that man´s head on the stake, “You said it yourselves… I…” his hand started to move forward, the man´s screaming muffled slightly by the rain and thunder “am a monster…” before he could kill that man I held his waist “Yun stop it!” he once again froze before the man´s head was skewered “this isn't you! someone is forcing you to act this way!” his eyes twinkle for a moment until they returned to their normal dark brown color and as if awakened up from a nightmare he let the man go.
“Karo…lin… where am I? he said sleepily, his eyes jolted open when he figured out what was going on, he undid his crest and the two men ran for their lives into the night “I was about to… to kill them?” his legs shooke uncontrollably, he fell to his knees I hugged him as tightly as I could “it wasn't you, someone try to coerce you into doing it, we have no time we must get out of here now!” he nodded and with no much effort he and I ran from the graveyard back to his house as the rain stopped and the morning light could be seen through the valley.
