Chapter 78- Mr. Howkuu's Atonement For His Past Mistakes?

It was the two elder guards from The Village of Divinity. "Something tells me he’s still here" one of the elder guards said. "What do you want to do with him? The other guard asked. "As the guards of Divinity, how about we make an example out of him" the elder guard replied. 

"Salul we know you are here" one of the elder guards said. "Yes that’s right you can’t hide forever" the other elder guard replied. Something is different about them this time Mr. Howkuu thought to himself. He peeked out once more he saw one of them had a cane and the other one was walking with a limp. Whatever that stuff was that came out Megumi’s charmed ornament affected them in a very peculiar way. 

Then all of a sudden the two guards started sniffing the air "we can smell you, Salul he’s over there" one of them said. What the hell are they Mr. Howkuu thought to himself as he fell backwards out of the bush and started running straight forwards into pitch darkness not knowing where he was going. Nevertheless he had to run, and the two guards were right behind him they weren’t as close but right on his trail. 

Unfortunately their vision was sharp as ever, and Mr. Howkuu couldn’t see anything in the dark. Just what are they, how can they detect me still in this pitch darkness they seem to have my scent maybe, just maybe if I can get rid of my scent I can lose them. 

Feeling for obstacles around him while running Mr. Howkuu couldn’t tell where he was and it seemed very hopeless at that point to continue to run, but Mr. Howkuu did. 

Swaying down at the ground trying to feel for something. There was nothing around, as Mr. Howkuu kept running his heart pace picked up beating faster and faster. He could hear the sound of his feet running over leaf after leaf, rain began pouring down from the skies, flowing over his hair all the way down his face. 

Then all of a sudden Mr. Howkuu could see clearly as if it was broad daylight. Mr. Howkuu could see a building not too out of reach from him. He kept running fast as he could, thinking if I can just make it to that building maybe I’ll have a chance. 

"Where do you think you’re going Salul?" One of the guards asked. Homing in on Salul like a missile pouncing in front of him. "Trying to make it to that building over there huh?" The guard said. The elder guards stood there in front and behind him as rain was flowing down their faces grinning. "Hmmph we’ll end you here tonight" the other guard said from behind.

 "Who are you two and why do you hate all of us so much.!?" Mr. Howkuu pleaded. They both started walking towards Mr. Howkuu simultaneously and they both said "we don’t hate all of you, just those who are blessed of the Wakai." As they stood over Mr. Howkuu, "any last words?" They asked. "Yes, who are you before you both kill me allow me to know my killers" Mr. Howkuu said. 

The elder guard in front of Mr. Howkuu crouched down on his feet and smiled in his face. "You have no clue who we really are do you, after all this time?" He asked shaking his head. "Take a close look at me" he stated.

 "I still can’t tell who you are" Mr. Howkuu said. "Hmmph and I thought he was supposed to be the successor to The Great Supika" the elder guard said from behind. "Maybe you should hit those books a little bit more, you don’t see anything that reminds you of something" the guard said in front of him.
