The forsaken (Rainimator book4)

arcane plan

POV ??? 

for a long time, I thought I was dead, that relic ripped me apart. years I thought at first but my phone reviled a lot, lot longer 100s of years, in a black void of nothingness, then something found me out there.

POV Nether Kyle

I hated it here, in frostbourne the look, the people...Ember, I don't like Ember, I'm not sure why but something about him just ticks me off. although I take him over Razer, Razer was very to Charlie, even though I didn't have everything back in my head, I have enough to remember that friendship me and Charlie had. 

I could on top of it all feel the nether star in my chest, the little voices from it that I've cast to the back of mind, out of sight out of mind.....kinda. I wanted to learn more about myself, I hadn't seen Charlie around in a few days. and that was worrying yet I couldn't get any answers from people. 

I walked into the library and found that other Kyle the one that is super depressing to be around. someone just being in a room with him made me want to jump out a window, he even gives off that feeling. 

although this time, a memory trigger, in the nether, he was they, I think it was the first time he was around, but this made me think of a few other people. Meeps, I had mixed feelings about her, I think I was the first person she meant here. 

"Why are you staring at me?" The other Kyle said. 

I looked away from him. "None of your damn business," I said. I turned back and sighed. "Sorry, I need to be so angry but I'm finding it really hard," I said. 

Kyle just rolled his eyes and went to what he was doing, I wondered for a moment, who had brought me back from the dead and why, that voice that happened spoken to me, who were they? at first, I thought them an old voice then after commenting that I thought Lyria, Shizuku and Meeps sounded old. a thing that may have made Lyria cry, was told that it was probably a younger voice. But why bring me back? I'm sure I would of loved being dead, it had to be more peaceful than this shit but hey I'm here now might as make use of that fact. 

I learned on the bookshelf next to and started to smell burning. "I wonder where that's coming from," I asked. 

"YOU'RE ARMS ON FIRE!" the other Kyle yelled.

I looked down at my arm, fire spreading up the red hoodie I was wearing. "Well, that would explain it," I answered. 

The other Kyle looked around for a way to put the fire out. when a small wave of water rushed forward and drench me and my clothes, Shizuku looked up from her book. "Thank you," I said and she went back to her book. 

I don't dislike Shizuku, in fact, she seemed so far removed from her sister, she was kind although I had rarely spoken to her. I got the feeling she wasn't overly fond of men so I try to keep a distance. Shiela on the other hand, I wouldn't mind punching her and stabbing her a lot. I have a vague memory of Charlie choosing to save her over someone else. someone important to him. 

then something happened. the air in the room shimmered, and we were somewhere else. a cold metal room. lights on the roof. "Ummm were are we?" Kyle asked. 

I looked around. "A metal room," I said. 

Kyle looked at me. "No Sh...shot Sherlock," cutting himself off because of Shizuku. 

the door opened and the three of us turned to it as a person in some weird glowy hight tech amour stepped out. the Arcane Knight. "Oh bugger," I said. 

I raised my sword and charged forward, the blade smashed into armour and broke without even touching it, some kind of shield. "My turn," the Knight said and raised their arm cannon and shot me back landing next to Shizuku. 

the other Kyle was next on the list. he raised his weapon all too slow and the Arcane Knight arm cannon turned into a hand and they gripped both sides of his head. some kind of light seemed to pass from the Knight into Kyle. 

a few moments later, Kyle was released. he turned to us. He looked normal....but something in his eyes, I raised my broken blade and made sure the very terrified Shizuku was behind me. "WHAT DO YOU WANT!" I yelled. 

"Spies," The Arcane Knight said. they pressed something on the wrist of their armour. light shine down on us, and I couldn't move, "Without Zen, I need all the resources I can get, you three will work well, Escaplly you," they pointed at Shizuku. "You're close with Charlie, he'll tell you anything right now, and I think it would be funny to use you to kill your sister," then something came down at us from the roof. 

(A/N short chapter sorry, also my friend draw Crystal, in a bi hoodie based on a skin I made)
