Stitching A Broken Heart

Chapter 76

Rui peaks over as he spies on The Lady Bone Demon and The Mayor who were looking at the furnace, he quickly walks away and heads to the tunnel where his brothers were now sleeping, the room was filled with webs some from Rui's to alarm him when triggered, stolen bed mattresses, soft blankets, and pillows creating a makeshift nest, and the room was filled with comfort and warmth, Syntax and Goliath laid in the nest asleep while Huntsman sat at the edge nodding off, Rui placed a gentle hand on his second older brother's shoulder "sleep Huntsman" Rui said, Huntsman looked up at him and shakes his head "you've been standing guard for a week, rest, you need your strength" Rui said, Huntsman was too tired to fight and obeyed falling asleep leaning against Goliath

When Huntsman fell asleep, Rui pulls out a bag and pours a small purple dust from the bag and blows the dust onto his brothers, the dust will make sure that the three remain sleeping until he returns "now, to set my plan in motion" Rui said leaving the room closing the curtains behind him

"You wish to be one of my generals?" Lady Bone Demon asked raising an eyebrow at Rui who knelt down to her on one knee "for the safety of my brothers" Rui said his face remaining neutral "and what do I receive In return?" Lady Bone Demon said furrowing her eyebrows a bit "the location of the three remaining items" Rui said his head still bowed "such as?" Lady Bone Demon asked raising an eyebrow "The Dagger of Venom, The Eye of Obsidian, and....The Claw Blade of Oroku Saki" Rui said lifting his head up to meet her gaze, Lady Bone Demon raised an eyebrow "you know the true name of the Shredder?" Lady Bone Demon asked slightly surprised "yes, I have seen him with my own eyes...from when he was a boy, to when he killed his entire village as a young adult, when he made the deal with the devil, to when he BECAME the devil, from when he ruled Japan, to when he fell at the hands of Buddha, all happening when Monkey King was trapped under a mountain" Rui said with not even a hint of fear

Lady Bone Demon close her eyes and hums in thought before opening her eyes "very well, bring me these three items in three days, and I will make you my general, fail me and you will suffer" Lady Bone Demon said her eyes glowing blue "I will not my lady" Rui said, the bone demon then turned to the Mayor "my servant will join you to see that you complete the task" Lady Bone Demon said as the Mayor giggled a bit "go" Lady Bone Demon said and Rui stands back up "yes my lady" Rui said and left with the smiling Mayor following behind him

Day 1:

Rui steps off from the hover bike in a far away desert and walks in front of a large temple that holds the Dagger of Venom, Rui inspects the temple as the Mayor appears behind him and saw a hidden symbol, he hums in thought and gently pressed onto the symbol making it sink into the rock wall. Then the temple began to shake and the doors open revealing a dark hallway "impressive, shall we go in?" The Mayor said, Rui didn't answer and walks inside the temple with the Mayor following behind. The spider demon pulls out a signal flare and rips the top off shining the room in a red sparkling glow

Rui slowly and carefully walks down the hallway before coming to a stop as he scans around the area spotting the booby traps, he crouch down and jumps into the air placing the flare between his teeth as he latch onto the ceiling and began climbing over the traps. When he climbed into a clear area he let's go and lands on the ground as he takes the flare out of his mouth he noticed the Mayor standing next to him with a big smile "perfect landing as well" The Mayor said giggling, Rui tuts and continued walking
