THE HYBRIDS

peeking at the past

Chapter 19

"Wait!"

Malia whispered as she came to an abrupt halt and she hid behind the tall trees near her pack.

"What?... This doesn't look like the path to your path..."

Drey replied as he bent low, confused at what Malia was doing.

She was sniffing the air wierdly.

"I know, this is a secret path I do take together with Skylar if we wanted to escape the pack..."

She replied while she continued sniffing the environment.

"Then why did we stop and stop doing that you sniffy gesture, it's wierd!"

Drey chastised but not dating to stand since Malia with the good eyesight was crouching.

"I'm trying to catch the scent of any guards around but I smell none..."

"Eeerrr, maybe they took some nap or maybe they are gathered in one place..."

Drey answered.

Malia nodded and tried to stand when a thought ticked in her mind and exploded.

She widened her eyes in panic.

"Drey! We need to go to the pack house! We might be in danger!"

Malia panicked and she jumped to her feet.

"Danger?... s**t! The prophecy of the blood moon, Herald and Morrison!!"

Drey joined and the two ran towards the pack house.

"But Herald is poisoned, how are the army going to stop Morrison?"

Drey asked as they ran.

"I don't f*****g know! The guards or the army would be on the blood field!"

Malia squirmed.

.

.

Deros growled as he used his flaming sword to s***h one of the black hunters and he decipated his legs.

He took a quick glance back and he saw his men battling their foes three men to one.

In relief, none of his men were hurt, they were holding up well but one question roamed his mind.

Where were the ninjas coming from?

The more they killed, the more the ninjas appear.

He twirled his sword fast and hit it on the ground, fire waves emitted from it and burned the ninjas.

Not a minuite slower, another set of ninjas appeared and attacked him seven men to one.

"Shit... Illusion technique!"

He muttered as he finally got hold of their trick, he needs to find out the person creating the illusions.

He ducked low and sliced one of the men in the stomach but a boot hit him on the face.

His eyes blurred but he managed to make a back flip and a blade whizzed past his head.

They might be illusions but they can hurt pretty bad like normal human and may even kill.

He felt a sword slice his leg and his leg buckled in pain and he involuntarily fell on one kneel.

He saw two of his men dead on the floor while the rest battled fearlessly but he knew they would lose if he didn't stop the Trickster.

'Arrrgh!!!!'

He roared in anger and grabbed one of the illusions and broke his neck.

The illusion turned into smoke and blurred his eyes and a sword s***h ripped his flesh open which made him scream in pains.

His eyes watered with pain, he tried picking his sword up but a kick on his hand sent the sword rolling away and five ninjas towered above him.

It was over.

Now he was finally going to die a disgraceful death!

Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Lady Kira standing far away from the battle with her arms crossed like a cross and black smoke emitting from her.

He gasped, Lady Kira was the one creating the illusions but too sad he was about to die.

One of the men pressed his head to the ground and brought his sword down on Deros head swiftly, Deros smiled weakly as he finally embraced his death.

Death never came, what's happening?

"You are too young to die old man..."

A young but familiar voice said above him and he raised his head up to see the person he had least expected.

Drey!

Drey smiled as he raised his sword, he had blocked the sword aimed for Deros head with his, saving him from a sudden death.

" Go back to hell you motherfuckers!"

Drey yelled and his sword emitted golden flames and it burned them all.

A loud roar followed and a huge white wolf, thrice the size of a normal wolf jumped out of the woods and caught one of the ninjas and ripped him apart.

Malia!

Lady Kira stopped whatever she was doing as she heard the roar, she smiled evily as she saw her target in position.

She tried to create more illusions but it was like something else was stopping her from doing it.

She frowned, nothing had ever stopped her illusions before except someone was olding some ancient weapons that could stop her technique.

She watched the battle closely and her eyes fell on the boy holding a red flaming sword, clearly different from the ones the moonlight hunters were using.

She had to capture the wolf girl herself even if she paid a heavy price for it.

.

.

.

"Hey wolfie!"

Lady Kira called and the huge white wolf which held the arm of a soldier in it's hand turned to her.

She smiled as she slowly stepped back as she saw the wolf walking towards her.

"You remember me?... Yes Malia, I was the ninja girl who attacked you with that handsome Skylar and I'm here to do the same again..."

She mocked as she caressed her blade.

The white wolf (Malia) roared and jumped at Lady Kira at amazing height but the female ninja hunter was sleeker and fast, at the last moment, she rolled away and slashed the wolf.

The wolf bowed while it's hind leg bled, it snapped it's face towards Lady Kira.

"Come after me girl... Kill me all you can"

Lady Kira mocked and she broke into a sprint, without further hesitation, the Wolf chased after the ninja girl with bloodlust but little did she know she was heading into a trap.

.

.

Drey made a huff as he finished killing the last of the illusions.

"What are these guys?"

Drey asked perpexdly as they turned to smoke.

Deros who had tend to take care of his injured men faced up at him, luckily for him, only two were dead while the rest were Injured.

"Those are illusions..."

Deros replied him and his eyes fell on the red flaming sword.

"Illusions bleed?"

Drey asked.

"This illusions are casted with the use of ancient relics, like your sword..."

Deros answered.

Drey narrowed his brows as he couldn't get what Deros was implying.

"What sword?"

Drey asked.

Deros smiled and he stretched his hand towards Drey's sword, the sword vibrated on Drey's and but it stopped after some second.

Drey opened his jaw down in surprise.

"You see?"

Deros asked with a smirk.

"See what?"

Drey asked again, now looking confused.

"Okay see this again"

He said and stretched his hand towards the sword of one of the moonlight hunter and magically, the sword appeared in his hand.

"Whoa.... That's cool, I've never seen Herald do that before..."

Drey gasped.

He stretched his hand towards the sword in Deros' hand , copying the same way Deros did it and like magic, the sword appeared in his hand.

"Holy s**t! I did it!"

Drey squealed.

Deros frowned as he saw what Drey did, by now, the rest of his men were starting do come around as they were surprised by what Drey had done.

"Do it again"

Deros said and Drey slowly stretched the sword forward and it floated in the air and landed on Deros hand and immediately, Drey stretched his hand towards the sword and the sword appeared back in his hand.

Mummurs generated the silent night as they once again witnessed what Drey had done.

"Who taught you that move?"

Deros asked with surprise.

"You, I saw you do it just now..."

Drey muttered back while he threw his silver sword up and it appeared back in his hand while red flames were on it.

"Impossible! Everyone of the moonlight hunters learnt that move for years and none of us could perfect it and make our sword float but you just perfected it!"

Deros exclaimed as he accessed Drey.

"I guess I'm lucky then..."

Drey replied with a shrug.

"Wait... You mentioned something about ancient relics or so, you also said my sword is one..."

Drey asked and Deros who was still shaken, likewise all the present hunters too looked at him.

"Yes... The eye pendant illusion and the sword of the moondragon, For ages, the Eye pendant illusion had been missing from the temple and we just figured out the the pendant is with the Black hunters...

The sword of the moondragon hadn't been used since ages after the Evil wolf of the ancient times known to be able to manipulate fire, Ryle, died... The sword had been kept for ages until a seer came from no where and said the sword should be given to you, then, you were some months old..."

Deros explained.

"What does the red flames mean, why not blue flames?"

Drey asked, he had not really been told about his past and he couldn't wait to unveil more.
