The other Knight, Moirai, walked to the group as well but he seemed to struggle to do so. While he was walking, he pressed his crown. He screamed out something. He breathed faster than usual.
“Sorry… I’m back to normal now…” as he said that, a cloaked spirit got out of his body and floated away quickly. He was breathing with some difficulties.
(I- UM- Altrince, all I have to say is that is very similar to something in my books…)
Another figure came out of the dark hallways on Hinata’s floor. They were cloaked and had some sort of mask on. They looked around then looked straight at Hinata. The mask was visible, it was a Crow Mask.
(…well shit…)
Aisen was slightly confused at what was happening while still taking care of Oliver.
“What’s… going on exactly?”
Seth jumped forwards again, he was pushing Ares towards the wall that had the stairs. A plan formulating in his mind. Out of the corner of his eye he could see Tolkalee still in mid air easily fighting back against Oliver. Aisen fighting with him. A smile touched Seth's face as he focused on Ares again.
Hinata was too busy rubbing her eyes to notice. Tatsuo noticed, however. He tapped Hinata's shoulder.
"Wha-?" Tatsuo motioned with his head. Hinata looked at the figure.
(XD)
The cloaked figure took off his cloak. Behind the cloak revealed a tall figure in a bronze colored crow mask, a steampunk suit with a golden clock in place of his heart. A folded pair of wings behind the figure spread out and flapped once. The figure knelt down.
“I apologize for my rude entry… I am The Clockwork Crow, the Paladin summoned by the Knights Cronos, Chris and Sam” the figure introduced himself before standing up.
"Something's not right here, Aisen," Tolkalee called. He landed on the ground and faced Oliver again. "Oliver just asked for help," he said more to himself than anyone else.
"A pleasure."
Hinata bowed but nearly fell over. The pill wasn't moving very fastly. Tatsuo caught her and helped her back up.
Aisen nodded.
“Seems like someone’s controlling them… and by them I mean that guy as well” he pointed to the kneeling coated figure.
The crow figure stood up straight, he was the tallest one in the Arena at the time. He looked about 6’5”.
Hinata looked up at Clockwork Crow. She herself was only 5'11." Even Tatsuo was shorter than him, but only by about three inches. Hinata rubbed her neck. It hurt from sleeping in sitting positions so much.
Seth was now fighting right by the stairs. "Hey," he said to Ares. "I don't know if you can hear me, the real you not the person controlling you. But if you can," he suddenly stepped forward. "Sorry." He kicked Ares in the chest and sent him towards the stairs. He then turned to see Tolkalee taking on Oliver still. He's tired, Seth thought to himself as he looked at Tolkalee.
The crow figure turned to Sebastian.
“Aren’t you suppose to be taking care of those you right now?” He pointed to Gavin and Evan who were safe in the protective spheres Sebastian made.
Ares landed on his feet, breathing faster. He pointed his blade to Seth.
“Same goes for me… I am so— Who the hell do you think you’re talking to?!” Ares scowled at him and rushed at him with his blade.
Hinata looked at Gavin and Evan. They looked fine. She leaned against Tatsuo.
"Is the pill not working?" He asked, concerned. Hinata chuckled.
"No, this is natural fatigue… we all know how much energy you guys need."
The crow figure stared at the ground and somehow, a small kitchen appeared in the Arena.
“Anyone want anything to eat…?” The kitchen was small but fully functional.
Seth easily parried the attack, grabbed Ares arm, and flung him over his back, slamming him into the ground. "Not you," he said pressing his boot into Ares chest.
Tatsuo and Katsuo looked down at Hinata.
"She could use something," they said. Hinata got slightly, ever so slightly, peeved. She hated being powerless, but she also knew she needed her strength for whatever may come next. She gave.
"Yeah, I probably should…"
Ares coughed out some blood when Seth pressed on his chest.
“It’s fine, as long as we can both survive, I’m cool with anything you d— you pests…”
The crow figure looked pass the kitchen counter and a table with some stools appeared.
“Please have a seat and relax. What would all of you like?” The crow figure asked, maneuvering around the kitchen.
Sebastian, on the other hand, got Gavin and Evan out of the spheres and comforted them while they were sleeping.
Tatsuo and Katsuo helped Hinata over to the counter.
"Egg drop soup sounds really good right now," Hinata asked.
"We don't need anything," Tatsuo said. Katsuo nodded.
"Don't call me pest," Seth rolled his eyes. "I am much more of a nuisance than that."
The crow figure nodded. Even though the kitchen seemed kind of empty, there were many ingredients in the fridge that it had. He began making the dish Hinata requested.
“Well, if you two don’t want anything to eat, do you want anything to drink?” He asked Tatsuo and Katsuo while preparing the broth and washing the scallions.
Ares tried to stand up but his body wasn’t working in the way he wanted. He put his hand to the ground and chanted something softly. When he finished, flowers started to grow around him and Seth.
"No, thank you though." Tatsuo gave a small smile.
Seth looked at the flowers. "Uh, hi," he said to the flowers like they could hear him. "Can we not?" he took a small step back, but kept his other foot on Ares.
The crow figure nodded and went back to heating the broth. He seemed happy cooking it. He went to get the eggs.
The flowers all turned to Seth. They bloomed altogether and blasted out bolts of thunder, practically in every direction surrounding him.
Hinata held Tatsuo and Katsuo's hands. She was very tired, but it was with it.
Seth didn't jump, but his eyes widened. "Okay!" he looked around at them.
Tolkalee looked over to where Seth was. "Seth!" he started moving towards where Seth was.
Gavin and Evan both started to wake up. Sebastian looked at them with a smile. He felt at home with these kids, a home he never had. The night hasn’t come yet, it was still early in the evening.
The bolts hit Seth directly but didn’t shock Seth, rather they got the blood from inside Seth’s body and watered the flowers, seemingly liters of blood was pulled out of his body. Some flowers turned to Tolkalee and did the same thing.
