(Well, it’s not that I have like…twenty versions of it in my YouTube playlist or anything…)

Cronos and Chris nodded.
“Probably, and we might to in a hurry as well”

"Well, we'd better get going then." Hinata unfolded her arms and headed for the door.

Chris and Cronos turned to Aisen and Jonathan.
“You kids stay here, and try not to die” Chris said, opening the door.

Cronos looked around.
“They’re either in the Soul Garden or the Harvesting Chamber judging from the direction that their aura are coming from”

Hinata nodded.
"I vote that we don't split up this time."

Cronos smirked but nodded.
“That would be smart indeed” they walked through the hallway, heading for the exit.

Hinata walked briskly after.

Tolkalee studied the figure for a moment. "So who are you?" he asked. he was suspicious of this person but he wouldn't show it.

“Me? Nis, Nis Shoku. The host of Eclipse” the figure replied.

Cronos turned to Hinata.
“Sorry, this might be kinda weird to ask but how’s your family?”

"They seem to be doing really good." Hinata gave a soft, sad smile.
"I'm glad for that."

Cronos slightly smiled.
“I’m just worried that they’ll worry about you. I know you say that you can’t die, but I just can’t help but to think that they’re waiting for you to go home” he thought back to something from his past but that barely passed his mind.

(Not being careful right now is going to get him killed. The last time Tolk was this pissed off one of the most powerful people on his planet, was slaughtered. Slowly.)

Tolkalee thought back, he'd heard that name somewhere before. But due to his anger he couldn't place it at the moment.

(Well, Nis dying this early won’t really make a difference)

The figure looked back at Tolkalee.
“So, what are you doing around here?”

Hinata smiled seemed to grow sadder.
"They aren't the only ones. My life was complete a long time ago…"

Cronos noticed the change.
“Uh…sorry for mentioning that” he scratched his neck.
They reached the exit soon after.

"As I said, I'm trying not to kill any of my companions," then it clicked. Tolkalee remembered hearing about Nis as one of the hunters. "Out of curiosity, are you one of the hunters hunting the knights?" he asked causally.

“Maybe…?” Nis shrugged.
“Well, I did put some wounds and cuts on Matthew. Shame he didn’t die though…” he sighed as he said the last part.

The sadness in Hinata's smile and eyes left.
"Don't be."

"Yeah, shame," Tolkalee talked slowly and kept his voice level. Behind his back he pulled his dagger out. "Are you after anyone right now?"

Cronos and Chris looked at Hinata.
“Can I trust you on keeping some secrets?” Chris asked as they walk to the outdoors.

Nis crossed his arms and tapped his foot.
“Hmmmm…let’s see…the next one on the list is Aisen ‘cause of how useful his Duality zone is but I have no idea where he is…”

"Hmm," Tolkalee gripped his dagger firmly. "Well, I'm sorry, but…" He charged slamming his dagger into Nis' heart, ripped it out and slashed him across the throat. "I'm not actually sorry. And you won't be Killing anyone right now." He had a cold look on his face as he looked at Nis.

Hinata nodded, not saying anything.

Nis coughed out blood and had a huge hole through his chest.
“I should’ve seen that coming…” he wasn’t dead yet and didn’t seem to be close to it. He wiped the blood off his mouth. Summoning both moon and sun like projectiles, he turned back to Tolkalee with his eyes shining through the shadows.

Chris sighed.
“Once we’ve reached either the Soul Garden or the Harvesting Chamber, you’ll be introduced to some secrets of the Labyrinth” Chris said, leading Hinata and Cronos to the Soul Garden as it was closer to where they were.
