Oliver got a cut on his head. “Damn you time manipulators…” While the fight was going on, another figure in a monochrome suit walked towards them. The figure saw Tolkalee and smiled. They held their staff up as they yelled “Freeze!”. Both Oliver and Tolkalee stopped moving as the figure moved around freely.
Knight K in front of Rogue raised a brow. “A shadow shield? Heh, as if that’s going to protect you from us…” The knight threatened before the blades behind him disappear. Knight K walked away from Rogue and told Knight D to leave as well.
The necklace around Tolkalee's neck suddenly flashed. It was trying to free Tolkalee from whatever hold this person had on them. The glowing from it grew into a bright light.
The figure stopped by Tolkalee, smiling at him. “You shouldn’t try to escape…there’s no use to it…fellow time manipulator…” the figure looked up at Tolkalee, revealing his irises which resembled clocks. This was Knight F.
Adara stood. "I thought I told you to leave me alone!" She hissed at Aisen.
“Is it wrong to worry about you Ada?” Aisen (Knight A) asked politely before taking off his headgear. “Hey C, take off your headgear as well, it’s just Adara” Aisen said to Knight C. Knight C disintegrated his battle axe then took off his headgear, revealing Carlsen (Knight C).
Adara rolled her eyes. They burned a bright blue, and she scowled. "Get me away from these freaks," she told Lybiran, who shook her head. Adara sighed before disappearing in a burst of flames.
(Man she can hold a grudge!)
The necklace flashed again bright enough to blind someone, Tolkalee fell to the ground, his time returning to normal. But now his breathing was hard, using time was something he did all the time. Freeing himself from someone else's hold on time was physically and mentally draining. The only he'd managed to break free was from the help of his necklace. "What was that you were saying?" he gasped from the ground. "It's no use trying to escape? Think again buddy." He was barely conscious by this point however.
The shadows retreat from around Rogue's body. Sigh "Hmm… I wonder how powerful these beings really are." Slinging the katana back into its sheathe, he turns to look around. If this is really the Soul Labyrinth, then they should all be here.
(Wow, she’s pretty stubborn lol)
Aisen and Carlsen sighed. “There’s probably no use in reasoning with her” Carlsen told his brother. “Yeah…” Aisen said in a rather hopeless voice.
Another announcement was later made. “Attention please! Knights A and C, please return to the center hall. The Master wants to see you. Thank you for your attention”
“Heh, you sure are stubborn” Knight F claimed as he knocked his staff on the ground once, freezing Tolkalee once again. He then walked up to Oliver “I thought you were smarter than this Oliver…”
Adara breathed hard, leaning against the wall. She sighed, gazing sadly at the two figures as they walked away. She had missed them, and forgiven them, but was too stubborn to admit it. She gazed into a pool of water and was surprised to see that her eyes were glowing purple.
Hinata looked around.
"Anybody there?" Tears still made her sight hazy.
Adara heard a voice and looked around, spotting someone. "Hello," she said quietly.
Hinata's ears started buzzing, and she collapsed.
Soon after Aisen (Knight A) and Carlsen (Knight C) reached the center hall, another announcement was made.
“To all knights, please pay attention. Knights A and C will be taking a break from patrolling for some time. The Master is taking them to some training courses. Please be aware that they will return to patrolling as soon as the training finishes. Thank you for your attention.”
Rogue reaches into his sweatshirt and pulls out a small knife. He uses the knife to slit his hand open.
Adara walked over to the girl, checking what was wrong with her. She was clearly a mortal… was she the one that… No. The other mortal had been dealt with.
Knight G was sitting on a tower near Rogue. Seeing Rogue he silently followed him.
Tolkalee was fighting to stay conscious. He'd never actually fought another time manipulator, and this one seemed to be a master of it. Just great, I hate literally everything about being here right now, he thought to himself. His necklace glowed again. Yeah I definitely need to get out of here. Using what ever strength he could muster he fought against the hold on him. His necklace assisting him, in whatever way it could. The moment he broke free this time he slowed time himself. He dragged himself up, moving on will power alone, and took off running down the hall trying to get as far away as he could.
Hinata was having a fever. She was burning hotter than most suns.
Knights B and L walked pass Hinata and Adara, talking about Knights A and C. “What did the brothers get into this time?” Knight B asked. “Like hell would I know. The Master won’t be so merciful this time, I’m sure of it.” Knight L answered and laughed. “Maybe they would die this time, who knows?!” Knight B jokingly said to Knight L who laughed at that.
Adara's eyes widened. She walked over to them. "W-who are you talking about?" She asked.
Hinata sturred at the sound of voices. Her heat was radiating into the air now.
Knight F caught up to Tolkalee without a problem. “Why are you in such a hurry? You don’t want to know a trick or two from me?” The Knight insisted.
Hinata's heat reached the group of people.
Knight B and L looked at Adara. “Didn’t you hear the announcement? Aisen and Carlsen got into trouble again. Last time they nearly got killed so who knows, maybe they’ll end up being corpses this time” Knight L giggled to Knight B and Adara.
"Oh. I-is anyone allowed to watch? I know I do. Want to watch them get punished, I mean," Adara said with a wicked smile.
Hinata's hair caught on fire, burning her scalp.
Knight L looked rather surprise. “You sure? Last time they got punished, all the knights, even a sociopath like Rainer can’t stand it” Knight L explained. “Yeah, and Rainer’s ability is the goriest of the knights. He can’t even watch it, it was that horrible!” Knight B added. “The Master has never had mercy on anyone of us” Knight L explained.
