The Claw Of Ancient

Untitled Episode THESEER

The full moon cast its silver glow illuminating the environment.. Akira was still stuck with a total stranger..

"I will tell you about me after you introduce yourself."Jude said smiling

Akira glared at him as she wondered the source of his happiness.

"Alright my name is Akira..A great warrior in... "Akira stopped as she couldn't complete her statement..

"In what? "Jude asked as he didn't get that part.

"Nevermind.” Akira said calmly as she remembered all that had happened.

Jude knew she was troubled as he could feel it..He looked at her passionately with his bright red eyes..Akira needed someone to talk to, someone that she could share her pains with and someone who would believe her.. Akira didn't know when she started spilling her ordeal to Jude, hot tears dropped from her eyes.. Jude was about to wipe the tears but was immediately stopped by Akira.

"Thank you, I'll do it myself."Akira said as she wiped her tears with the back of her palms..

"I believe you, I know you did not steal it and I'll be willing to help you."Jude said reassuringly.

Akira's eyes brightened as she saw someone who believed her,a total stranger..

"Are you sure about this? Do you really believe me?"Akira asked.

"Yes I do and I’m willing to be there for you. "Jude said smiling..

"What are you doing here? What brought you to this place?"Akira asked as she wanted to know more about him now.

Jude who was happy,immediately became sad and confused as though he had been struck hard by his past..

"I don't know the reason I'm here.. I can't remember anything, I only remember my name and this necklace."Jude said as he brought out a necklace..

The necklace looked familiar as she had seen one of those before but she couldn't actually trace the place..

"Really?..I am so sorry about that,I'll assist you in remembering your past and getting back to your family." Akira said as she touched him slightly..

"Thank you very much.. I really appreciate."Jude replied

They both had a chit chat and they started getting along with each other.. Akira was happy as she had someone to talk to.. Someone she could share her emotions with..

''How do you lay here at night." Akira asked..

"I just lay some woods together and lie on it,"Jude replied..

They both stood up as they went in search of woods..they gathered the woods together laying it side by side.. Akira laid on it and dozed off..Jude watched her sleep as he looked at how beautiful she was and he prayed she found inner peace and caught the perpetrators who framed her up and he finally slept off.

The next morning was bright as they woke to the sounds of birds that sang sweetly in the sky..Akira was keen on catching the perpetrators.. She looked around searching for Jude but she didn't see him, she wondered if her encounter with him was all a dream.. She hoped it was not as he was the only one that believes her.. As she was deep in thought, she finally saw him coming from afar and she was happy it was not a dream..

Akira could see him holding items as he approached further.. He went in search of food and came back with a lot of things.. As Akira saw this, her stomach growled in hunger..They both ate to their satisfaction.

"How do we carry out this investigation."Jude asked..

Akira became mute as she was trying to think through the plans but she had no ideas.

"You can't go into shadow pack like this as you would be recognized.. You have to disguise so that you can't be easily recognized."Jude said..

Akira thought of what Jude said and she realized he was right, she needed to disguise if she wanted to investigate and catch the culprit.

"Catching the culprit will be hard as I do not have any suspect. "Akira said as she was at the verge of giving up.

Jude thought carefully and later came up with an idea which would make everything easier..

"I will take you to a seer who happened to be my friend, he couldn't see my past as he said there was a strong force covering it.. Let's hope and pray he sees yours. "Jude said as he ate the remaining bone from the finished meal..

"That would be a great idea..Thank you so much,i wouldn't have done this without you."Akira said smiling

"You are welcome.. Just tell me whenever you are ready and we'll proceed."Jude said, tapping her hands.

"Look deeply into the pot and tell me what you see.”The great seer instructed as he pointed to an ancient magical pot..

Akira immediately looked inside as she prayed to see a clue that will vindicate her from all this troubles.. She fixed her gaze at the ancient pot and she saw an image which was so unclear,she tried looking deeper to get a better view of his face but she couldn't, she could only see his clothes and…..feet.

Akira could also see an injury which looked like a scar on the left foot of the person that was shaped as a crescent,that was all she could see..

"This is going to be a hard one."She thought..

She told the seer all she saw and the seer nodded and told her she should work with the clue she has..

"I can see that this is not an easy journey as you need to fight with all your strength as the future is covered with dark clouds."The seer said as his eyes broadened..

"You need to prepare yourself for the future.As you are the one to protect your people from the hands of evil."He added..

""After all they did to me?.I don't think I'll be able to protect them.. I just need to clear my name,that's all. They don't deserve my help."Akira said with so much pain and anger..
