Void and Time

Chapter 4

The girl run out of the building towards the voice that called her. In the distance, she saw her master in the middle of the thugs that were being slaughtered by monsters. She rushed towards them, hands ready to unsheathe the sword on her waist. 

The girl ready to pounce on the monster was blocked by a man. "Young master, what should we do about the thugs." The man she fought earlier stands by the side, talking to the man who blocked her way into killing the monster. "Let them die." The man that parry her sword spoke, eyes with the same golden glow staring at hers. 

"Finally" The man spoke, eyes softened while staring at hers. The girl still stared back at him with no reaction. The man frowned at the eyes of his sister. He stared at her and then looked back to the thugs then at her once again. "I see," He said. He beckoned the man that was standing on the side, "Kill the mind" He said. The girl heard those words and rushed towards her master but was once again blocked by the 'young master'. The man rushed towards the group and fought side by side with the monsters to finish the whole group. 

"Sister..." The man fighting his sister spoke. "Do you not recognize me?" He asked as she still tries to run after her master. Annoyed by his sister's actions, he sighed and used his magic to isolate both of them, there he used a binding spell to lock her in place. Her mind, not being able to comprehend what was happening, froze. "Sister, look at me please." The man pleads, he holds out his hand and cares his sister's face. "You don't know how much I've been looking for you." He said. 

--On the other side of the battlefield. The man continuing his mission finally tore through the gathering of monsters. There he saw dozens of bodies torn to pieces. Only one person remains and that is the mind of the thugs. He was confused as to why the monsters stopped their pursuit and while the mind was cowering in fear of his life, the monsters slowly dispersed as if being controlled. He looks around trying to find the source of the monsters however all of them going in every direction confuses the man once more. 'I should not bother anymore and finish the mission' The man thought. He then slowly walked to the cowering man.

"Please help me, I don't want to die." The mind whispered over and over again. The man laughed, "You should've thought twice before taking control of another girl" He said. He unsheathe his sword and was ready to bring it down to the man when another voice appeared. "A quick death is too merciful for the likes of him, don't you think so?" A man appeared, beside him, a dog walking with three heads snarled at the cowering man. "Will you lend him to me?" The man asked while smiling. "Why should I do that?" He then points his sword toward the unknown man. "I owe her" 3 words and the man understood. He sheathe back his sword and said, "He's yours". The man's smile grew even bigger and more sinister. He turns his back to the pair and walks down towards his young master. As he walks, he heard the screams of agony of the mind. 'He's too powerful for me to handle' He thought. 

"Sister this might be painful but please bear with me." The young master asked his sister who was still frozen. He took a deep breath and close his eyes and placed a hand on his sister's head. He whispered something under his breath and a magic circle appeared beneath them. The silver-haired girl's eyes started to dilate as the spell of her brother slowly seep into her mind. "Damn it" her brother cursed as he was having a hard time breaking the spell that was controlling his sister. "Kill the mind already" He whispered under his breath. After a few more moments of struggling, he finally felt the constraint that was keeping her sister, broke. He opened his eyes then sighed, he lifted his binding spell causing his sister to be released. He caught her and hugged her. "You're fine now" He whispered to her. He cares her head once again and place a kiss upon her forehead. "I'll never let you go, you're safe with me and we will never be apart once again." He rocked her as if he was rocking a baby. 

He close his eyes and broke the isolation spell. He stood up and look towards the bodies that was scattered not too far from them. He saw his underling just standing on the side and another man standing beside to what he presume was previously the mind. He stared at his underling expecting an answer. The man who was smiling walked towards the siblings. He looked down at her and lift his hand to touch the woman's cheek. Her brother looking at his every movement like a hawk. "I returned the favor" His smile that was once sinister turn gentle. He gave her one last smile and step back. He was engulfed by a smoke and disappear never to be seen again. "Would you want me to conduct an investigation young master?" The man said. "No" The young master said and turn back to walk towards a place where she can finally rest.
