Grasping Fate

Chapter 11

"Alone we are strong, together we are stronger."

"Alista, I'm glad you came. Did Wither's task go well?" The Nyx asked calmly with a smile.

Seto sat staring at the woman with an intimidating appearance. Her whole look screamed to not mess with her, and what with that black sword floating next to her that was long and wide in appearance made Seto want to schooh back a little....no, a lot.

Seto flinched as her eyes flickered towards him before she waved her hand and the sword vanished. She walked past Seto and leaned into the hallway with the door that Seto first saw the Nyx come through.

She looked back at the Nyx and said, "Hardly. The people I'm looking out for haven't arrived yet. I need to head back to Duhita--Alias! Where are you?" She looked back and yelled the last part.

"I see, well then, this is perfect. I have a short request. This human here will need to head to Duhita in a couple of days, I wanted to ask if you would take him and his two companions to Duhita."

"But wait, Tyler--" Seto started.

"I've already removed the curse while we spoke. I told you already, his fate was never to die from the curse. You needn't worry."

Seto glowed with joy, "Thank you sir!" The Nyx smiled warmly. Seto felt the strong feeling of someone looking at him, he gulped and glanced to see Alista looking down at him. For a second he was afraid, afraid for his life.

Her red eyes bore into his soul and her arms crossed in a displeased manner. Was she going to say no?

"Of course," she said after a while. She looked away as if listening to something then said, "You don't have to ask me. I follow all orders from the gods, even you. Just simply tell me and I'll do it."

"Yes, I know, but I'd rather it be your choice then simply an order." The Nyx stood leaving the table, "I'm sorry to cut our time short Seto. Alista will take you to the town borders shortly, just wait here. And in two days Alista will take you and your friends to Duhita to join up with your other companions. From there, your journey will truly begin."

Seto nodded and then said, "W-wait, I wanted to ask you, about my--" The Nyx coughed, Alista was by his side in a flash and lead him quickly down the hallway. Seto faltered and sighed, he wanted to ask about his parents. Why did they have to die, especially like that.

Seto stood up, he felt relief in his limbs and stretched quickly just as someone came down another hallway. Not the same one that Alista had lead the Nyx down.

"Alista, are you--" This person was shorter than Alias and Alista, he had grey hair and lavender eyes, "Oh, hello."

"H-Hi, sorry I think I saw Alista go down that hallway with the Nyx."

"Ah! Thank you!" He turned to leave but then stopped himself. He looked back at Seto, "I'm Aveon, are you the guest my father was talking about?" He walked over and sat down at the small table Seto had just stood from.

"I guess I am, I'm Seto by the way."

"Seto...nice name!" He grinned. This family was odd to say the least. Alista gave off a scary impression, Alias spoke in a mysterious and proper manner, and then Aveon, he acted very much like a child. Of course, he stood several inches taller than Seto, by now he figured it was a family trait.
