Whispers of Amethyst:The Sparrows Quest

Chapter 7 : Unbound Memories

As the group stood frozen, waiting for the unknown threat to reveal itself, a figure emerged from the shadows. Her chain scythe gleamed in the firelight, its razor-sharp blades glinting like tiny stars. Her spiky black hair seemed to absorb the light around her, and her piercing green eyes shone like emeralds in the darkness. She moved with a fluid grace, her lean physique radiating an aura of deadly precision.

"I am Kagerou," she said, her voice low and husky, like a summer breeze on a hot day. "And I've been sent to join your little group."

Vladis's eyes narrowed, his grip on his polearm tightening. "Who sent you?" he asked, his voice firm but wary.

Kagerou's smile was enigmatic, her eyes glinting with amusement. "Let's just say I have a mutual acquaintance who thinks I'd be a good fit for your team."

Sparrow's eyes widened as he took in Kagerou's weapon and her confident stance. He sensed a power and skill that felt leagues above theirs, could her strength be close to Vincent's? , a shiver ran down his spine.

Claire's eyes were fixed on Kagerou, her expression unreadable. "Welcome, Kagerou," she said, her voice neutral. "We could use someone with your skills."

Kagerou's gaze flicked to Claire, and for a moment, Sparrow thought he saw a flash of recognition, a hint of understanding between the two women. But it was gone in an instant, replaced by Kagerou's enigmatic smile.

"Let's get down to business, then," Kagerou said, her chain scythe at the ready. "We have enemies to defeat, and I'm eager to get started."

With that, she leapt into the fray, her chain scythe flashing in the firelight as she took on the unknown threat. The group followed, their weapons at the ready.

Kagerou's chain scythe sliced through the air, its blades glinting in the firelight as she took on the unknown threat. The group followed, their weapons at the ready, and the battle began.

As they fought, Kagerou's skill and precision became clear. She was a master of her weapon, her movements swift and deadly. Sparrow, Vladis, and Claire fought alongside her, their own skills honed from training and battle.

But even as they worked together seamlessly, it was clear that Kagerou was a cut above the others. Her chain scythe seemed to dance in her hands, its blades weaving intricate patterns as she struck down their enemies with ease.

As the battle ended and the dust settled, Kagerou turned to the group with a serious expression. "We need to talk,you've been tailed " she said, her voice low and urgent.

"What is it?" Vladis asked, his eyes narrowing.

"The original two enemies you were aware of?" Kagerou said. "They've gathered. And now, we face eight enemies in total."

Sparrow's eyes widened. "Eight? How did that happen?"

Kagerou's expression was grim. "Vincent gave me a message for you, he has left four of them for us to deal with. He says he'll handle the other four alone, to make it easier for us, he will explain once we catch up, sorry that's all he told me."

Claire's eyes flashed with concern. "That's not like Vincent. He's always been cautious, never one to take unnecessary risks."

Kagerou's smile was wry. "Vincent has his reasons, I'm sure. But we need to focus on our own task. We can't let our guard down, not now."

The group nodded, their faces set with determination. They knew the road ahead would be treacherous, but with Kagerou's skill and their own determination, they were ready to face whatever challenges came their way.

As they prepared to face the eight enemies, Sparrow couldn't help but wonder what Vincent was planning. And why he had left them to face four of the enemies alone. Is he strong enough? Or is it bravado? Either way his presence and strength were truly a sight to behold... Will they prove enough?
