The strong will create it...
Zach sat besides haruki, eyes narrowing.
"Then who really are you..?". He asked.
Zach had thought nothing of Haruki, just the old man that knew martial arts, Haruki had taught him a bit but nothing crazy, just how to avoid blows and punch with a few kicks.
Haruki suddenly wielding a flaming katana and cutting the monster clean in half got Zach asking questions.
And on top all that, how does Haruki know this much about the world?. Not that Zach think about it the old man has really been a mystery to him, Zach only cherished the father son bond they had, he never really thought of digging his past.
"Like I said I was a war hero back in my day..." Haruki said.
A nurse opened the door running the father son conversation.
"Sir, someone is looking for you, the nurse announced.
Haruki sighed.. then stood up.
He placed his hand on Zach's shoulder.
"I'll be right back.." he said waving at Zach for the last time before his figure disappeared down into the central corridor of the top floor.
Zach looked at Haruki's disappearing figure, his gaze turned back to he mystical golden word hovering in the air in front of him.
Haruki stood there talking to Zach and he didn't even notice the bright, writings, floating in front of Zach, Zach realized that the old man couldn't see it.
Anytime some nurse comes into the room, grabbed some things from the small cupboard located besides the glass windows further confirming his theory.
...
Haruki walked with the female nurse slowly striding behind him in an empty corridor.
Her steps slowed and measured.
Haruki suddenly stopped, eyes locked on the nurse.
She flinched in reflex...
Haruki's clear dark almond eyes turned sharp, dark and unblinking.
"You finally came.."
He spoke, the nurse's terrified face slowly disappeared, replaced with a grin.
Her medical attire transformed, it looked the fabric was a part of her as a black robed figure stood where the seemingly innocent nurse trembled a moment ago.
"Wow you could easily see through my disguise..."
The robed figure spoke, almost with a feminine mechanic voice, the world seemed to echo, like this was a place settled between two realities, the corridor seemed to stretch further.
The starry night sky across the end of the hall way was replaced with a eerie blackness, a void.
"Hmm so who are you?..., another assassin send by the paladins?", Haruki sighed..
"When will those bastards stop chasing me..?"
He groaned.
"He was just a heavenly paladin, and that battle had taken place more than 15 years ago..." Haruki groaning voice made the robed figure frown.
"Never heard of.. Let the past be the past..?"Haruki dark humor seemed to trigger the robed individual.
The black figure slightly annoyed spoke, "you killed a heavenly paladin and one of the matriarch of the order of purity".
Through the robe two green orbs glowed as her figure blurred.
BOOM*
A sonic boom echoed as her blurry figure made it towards the old man.
Haruki on the other hand looked calm and collected as he placed his hand behind his back, looking at the incoming projectile impersonated.
***
Zach, in the other hand, looked at the blade in his hands, the rainbow sheen on the English straight sword pulsated slightly.
Zach, eyes wide.. looked at the stunning blade in front of him.
[Sword name: Aragoth]
[Note: mentioning the swords name summons the blade.]
The rainbow colour of the blade gleamed, not painted, but seemed alive, an ever shifting spectrum of colours that danced around it's surface like light bending in crystal.
With every slight movement the blade the blade refracted hues of crimson, sapphire , emerald and gold as of it really contained a storm of light frozen in solid steel.
Zach examined the blade carefully.
It's hilt was carved with dark wood, like gnarled and smooth like something born out of an ancient forest.
Zach tried to swing the sight sword in his hand but he couldn't control it's weight, the sword was as almost as tall as him reaching his waist, and he was 6'3 by the way.
"Aragoth.." Zach spoke and the blade shimmered, instantly disappearing into a kaleidoscope of butterflies, filling the room with fluttering colours.
Zach covered his mouth, walking towards the window to realize the swarm out.
He swung the glass open and the mirage of butterflies came flying out.
Zach had originally thought, he would have something like the firefly that Haruki got, but instead he got butterflies. literal ones.
Speaking of haruki the old man had not returned.
'Just who is that visitor" Zach pondered, Haruki never had any visitors back at the mansion and Zach assumed he was a loner. He sure looked like that, with the way he acts it highly unlikely he has any friends, Zach chuckled at the thought.
Zach looked at outside, cars Parkes beautifully on the parking lot of the hospital, as cars sped by the parallel roads besides it.
Zach reached into the air smiling as a tint of crimson stained his hand.
"What..?" Zach couldn't believe it the moment he decided to reach for the skies, to feel peace, the birds finally decides to take a sh*t on his hand.
Ah he cursed retracting his hands.
"What..?".
Zach eyes skimmed the liquid as they widened.
"That's not bird poop", this was a dark shade of red, with a metallic tang, Zach had smelt this before, the night of the rift incident...
This was blood.
This wasn't uncommon considering it a hospital.
Zach struggled to poke his head out of the window because of the iron protector but its slit was thankfully wide enough for his head to fit through.
He gazed upward and immediately forced his he'd out of the window with a yelp.
Zach hands trembling as he fell on his butt.
A nurse was dangling upsidedown her body was tied with thin almost invisible threads but Zach could see them thanks to the blood smeared on it.
Zach heart raced.
' That nurse... want it the nurse that escorted haruki out of the room' Zach's eyes widened.
Haruki had always been a loner, the fact that a sudden 'friend ' began looking for him is quite strange.
Zach hand trembled as he held his heart, Wich was accompanied by a crunchy sound.
Zach's brow furrowed, as he reached from his breast pocket.
"Evacuate the hospital within one hour".
Zach's mind instantly entered overdrive.
'what, is it Haruki that wrote this?, that time he touched my shoulder did he sip this note into breast pocket?, did the old man even have a pen when he walked in here?.."
Zach had many questions, but he had no choice....
The hospital had to be evacuated..within an hour
Somehow..
