An Business Closure (3/3)

Erin examined the planets that were optional and thought about landing the on the planet of Aaakwla, both Erin and Missy got ready as to where their adventure would lead them, starting the engine, Erin can see that it hasn't been used in ages, "even though this ship is old, this includes the optimal overdrive and the engine... looks like it was built by... El... on... sounds Bêydian." Both Erin and Missy made it to Aaakwla seeing that the local's residents were hostile to Erin and Missy, they said something in their native language, Erin and Missy didn't understand until the native tribe ran away leaving Erin and Missy dumbfounded, Erin realised something and threw Missy to the ground, "how predictable!" A stranger mysteriously attacked Erin with an Arkomanan blade-like Erin's, "I recognize the stance... Who is your master? Is someone already dead? Maybe one that I have drained clean of his aura?"

Erin and the stranger both battled until Erin had lost and in doing so lost his blade as it was broken by the stranger's blade. "This blade is quite pathetic in my opinion, the only one ever so pathetic to use this was an Arkomanan Grandmaster named Fennik... He was always fast... But never too fast on surviving." He saw in Erin's eyes that they were filled with rage as to what he said, "(laughs) oh... So you're Fox's new Alpha? I would have picked a more agile and experienced boy but he always chooses... Poorly." The stranger threw Erin's broken blade back to him and walked away, he gave a huge grin as he entered the forest, Missy went to Erin to see if he was okay, and Erin's eyes were telling how much this blade meant to him. "It's okay Erin, we can fix it right?"

Erin shook his head and told Missy, "there is something that I haven't told you." Erin went into detail about what happened the day he met Missy, "so your master died in the Zyber? After 3 hours after his death, you met me... And that explains why you were bruised..." Erin let go of his master's blade, " lots of us survivors take our masters blades for our memories of them to always remain in us... I may not be the only one who has a hold of their master's blade... I'm pretty sure Cal does and even Azriel..." He stood up and felt his body feeling like it was about to erupt, his eyes started to go blank until he found himself in a strange room, and right in front of him was Fennik, "you miss me, Erin?! I know what you're thinking right now... How is it possible for me to be here when I'm dead?! (Laughs) funny answer, I'm not!" By Fenniks over ecstatic tone turning serious, Erin knew that it wasn't a dream, "where are we?" Fennik explained to Erin where he was, "right now... You're in your mind... You see, you were thinking about that day like I was, and since I was able to use voltage, our minds connected and we were able to see each other! And it's an amazing thing too because now you're in great danger... A dark force plans to return and retrieve all of his pieces to make him complete... Only the lost child can save us now."

"But isn't the lost child just a fairy tale? Something that helps us kids be motivated and be able to find the answers more accurately?" Fennik laughed and said, "well that was the plan but in reality, many of us have never heard of the lost child, so we only knew by the originator who we do not know and she does not know... Listen, Erin, you and 3 others are meant to be the ones that can train the Lost Child... Without him, we're doomed."

"But I don't understand why I have to help, it's not like I have anything special... Do I?" Fennik looked at Erin and replied, "not really but you must help him... Because you were chosen to help guide and train the Lost Child into defeating this force." Erin still wasn't convinced, "well will you believe me if I say that one of the members is within Cal?" Erin mistook what Fennik said and thought that Cal was to help the lost child. Erin understood and woke up to find that his blade was repaired and his hand held a special crystal, he didn't understand what it meant but knew it had value somehow. "Oh good, you're awake... You dosed off like a couple of hours ago." Erin saw that it had become night already, Missy looked upset somehow, "it's nothing... It's just that it is weird not being in Zyber... I kind of miss it..." Erin put his hand on Missy's lap and said, "if you don't want to... Then I don't mind taking you back to Zyber." Missy put on a smile and kissed Erin, "I'm glad I have a boyfriend that sings a total jerk."

"When it comes to you... The only thing that I want to worry about is you... It just shows how much you're my flower." Missy knew what Erin's game was and called him out for it, "are you trying to have me make love with you?" Erin shook his head no fast, "I'm just messing with you... Your love and your sweet compliments make my day... (Kisses Erin on the lips again) now go to bed you or you going to be wishing mercy."
