The Fallen Angel

The Beginning

"Kyra, you have to aim forward while turning on your heel, not aim then turn", Ryker said as he sighed and pinched the flesh in between his eyebrows.

He knew that at her age, Kyra was good enough but he didn't want her to be good enough. He wanted her to be the best.

But if she kept on with the way she was fighting, then she would be what everyone looked at their family as..... Weak.

His blood boiled anytime he heard anyone call his family weak, He just wanted to...

"You cannot blame them for saying so Ryker. We have been weak for centuries and that...I don't think is going to change soon"

Rohan said sitting on a rock with his leg crossed, his eyes watching Kyra's every movement, his long blonde hair swaying with the wind.

He chuckled when she stumbled on a rock, making her hair fall on her face and she  lost her entire footing, causing her daggers to fly out of her hands and pin Zo' on each side of the wall.

Then he looked at Ryker again, this time his gaze intense,

" You cannot put all your hopes on Kyra...... Just to get your position back and you back in his good graces".

Ryker laughed softly but with a hint of annoyance,

" When did he ever have good graces? We all know nothing about him is good. And I do not have a clue on what you are talking about".

Rohan's eyes flashed a hint of gold before he closed and opened them again and it went back to normal. He let out a long breath and looked at Ryker steadily,

" You sure as hell know what I am talking about Ryker. Don't you dare play games with me. You know what happens when you do that".

Ryker looked up and closed his eyes,

" I don't know what you are talking about Rohan".

Rohan's fists clenched by his sides and he stood up,

" You know very well that I am talking about....."

"Uncle Ryker?", Kyra was tugging at Ryker's robe slowly" I....I..."

Ryker whose eyes were still shut looked down to see what the girl wanted. He was about to say something when he opened his eyes wide in shock. The little girl had blood on her body.

Before he could ask her anymore, Rohan called his name and when he looked at him, Rohan was tilting his head and looking at something, his eyes not moving. Ryker hesitantly followed his line of sight and almost screamed in horror when he saw Zo' on the floor lying in his pool of blood.

Suddenly, Ryker drew out his dagger and turned to Kyra

"Who killed him? Did anyone attack you both while we were talking?.... Answer my god damn question Kyra"

Kyra looked at Rohan with tears in her eyes. Rohan held out his hands and Kyra ran into it holding him tightly,

" I.... I....No!!!"

Rohan raised her chin and nodded at her, flashing her a smile,

" You did well Kyra. I am proud of you".

He looked at Ryker who nodded his head indicating that he finally understood what the little girl was trying to say.

He smiled as he walked towards their house. This was just the beginning.....
