The company trudged on, Sabishi supporting Shiro and Roux carrying Sain. Shelby led the way.
"This is bad." Was Shelby's first words. "It appears that we are in Forest no Kage (Japenese for Forest of Shadows). They looked around at the dark, thorn covered paths. "It has a reputation for giant spiders and tigers."
"And if you're so clever, how do we GET THE HECK OUT OF HERE?" Roux literally screamed. "Two of us are dying a-and...." His voice faltered.
"And?" Shelby prompted before relenting. "Alright.....we take that path. I think there might be healers there."
"Thats good." Roux and Shelby were startled by Sabishi, who had kept silent ever since they had left the leopards lying dead and bleeding in the mountain. "Because Shiro looks like she's leaving us..."
Dark blood splattered onto the path as they neared the end of the path.
"Everyone!"
A call alerted Roux and Sabishi, trialling behind carrying Shiro and Sain.
"Hey everyone! Looook!"
They raced to keep up with Shelby, now stooping down beside a half buried glass bottle, crusted and stained with age. The object inside glowed faintly.
"What, you made us run for a old, cracked bottle?"
"No, its the long-lost angels tears! It belongs to my family....."
**Flashback to Shelby's past**
Before I embarked on this journey, I was keeper of the great treasures of the Kokoro no Gensou family. (Meaning - Mind of Illusion) This bottle contained the rarest treasure of all - the tears of an angel, sealed in by a powerful spell only me and the other keepers can break......but It was stolen, and the family fell. I worked to restore the treasures, but the notice came for me to join you all......
**Back to reality**
"And so, I can use it to save our two friends here!"
"Are you really sure you can just take it?" A mocking laugh interrupted them. A dark figure, cloaked in black, stood on a large rock formation nearby. "I am to be the next Keeper of Memories! I sent my feline friends to you and surprise surprise! You killed them. Oh but now I see. Two dying. Pitiful." The person shook his or her head slowly. "
"I stole the bottle of angel tears....and now it is mine! If you wish to use it....settle for this first!"
And then he dissapeared. But in his place, the rock formation rose, revealing a giant made of the rocks.
"Duel me if you dare!"
The voice echoed out of nowhere, mocking, sneering, challenging them.
