The ground beneath them shattered, as they fell onto a giant marble slab drenched in blood. Vex and Zephr watched in horror as thousands of innocents were torn apart by an army of Kyubi. Not one civilian survived the onslaught. It was too much to bear, Zephr's mind couldn't take the gore, and he collapsed onto a puddle of blood.
Zephr awoke in shock, asking himself if what he had witnessed was real. The answer was blunt and right in front of him, in all of its grotesque glory: Orochi.
No, NO! It couldn't be real, he can't be here, where is Vex, what happened to his chest, and why was he smiling?!
"You shouldn't have come here, Fire Mage." A startling voice echoes. "At last! I, Orochi, have the power of Pyronia at my disposal. Now I must obtain the rest of the elements."
It's eyes narrowed menacingly.
"Hmm, now what should I do with you? Maybe I should tear you heart out and crush it in front of you as you die. Or maybe-
BOOM! A smoke bomb hit the demon's snout as a figure in a green cape snatched Zephr from it's grasp. "W- Wha? Who are you?! What do you want from me-?!"
"Not now, I can explain later. Your friend is safe back at my camp, and I plan to take you there. But not for any other reason but information. Somebody has to explain what is going on here.." Whispered the hooded figure.
As Zephr and the hooded man ran to his base in the light of the blood red sky, questions began pouring into his thoughts: Friend? Information? Safe? How can they be safe when a demon wants to end the world!? Nevertheless, these questions will be answered soon enough as they entered the gates of a stronghold. "I thought you said this was a base?" Said Zephr. " It is a base!"said the hooded figure "it's just, a really big one." They removed their cloak, revealing their face. And what Zephr found out was even more stunning. He was saved by a girl! And a younger one at that! She looks about 18 years old, had blonde hair and beautiful silver eyes. "My name is Ezri." She said with a warm smile. "N-nice to meet you!" Said Zephr. With a tiny blush. "Well then, could you tell me your name? Or am I gonna have to call you red face?" Said Ezri. "Z-Zephr, call me Zephr."
