A sharp pain burst in Machate's stomach.
" Get up you maggot!" A harsh voice yelled. "Now!"
Machate winced, the guards eyes were scrunched up.
He was angry.
Machate observed the guard. He had the same olive skin as Riona. He also had her dark brown hair which was curly.
" Victor, just bring him don't be so harsh to the boy." A calm voice said. Machate glanced to the side. A man was standing with Zayne by his side.
He had almost the exact same features. Though he had softer eyes and higher cheekbones
" I can do whatever I want!" The guard snarled. He bared his teeth and his pupils shrank to thin slivers. His pupils were no longer a brown they were a bright glowing yellow.
" Don't change in front of him! You know what Tybalt will do if you change!" The first guard changed into his human form.
" Just get up you maggot! "
He slowly stood up and started to walk toward Zayne.
" I apologize for my companion's behavior. My name is Nathan and as you may know that is Victor."
" Just bring them to Tybalt and we'll be done!"
" Let's just go." Nathan opened the cell door with the keys. Zayne stepped out first. Machate stepped out with Victor following. Both clenched their spears. The floor was stone bricks and damp. There were more cells with blood and broken bones.
" Follow me." Nathan gestured for them to come up the stairs.
Darkness.
Stars.
Torches.
The air was cold and refreshing.
" Move it." Victor snarled. Machate saw Zayne's glowing eyes close. Then they turned to the vast forest.
" I sense something familiar but can't put my finger on it." whispered Zayne.
There in the forest. Hidden closely in a tree. Flaxen haired Shadow Knight sat there and observed. Listening and watching.
Sat there was. Randell.
