Until We Fly: The Guardian Legacy

Chapter 33: Shatter

-Myrora-

Oh boy...

This doesn't look good.

Honestly though, it wasn't the first time I'd been tied up like that.
Thirty-seventh actually.
Twenty of those unwillingly.

But this place was gross.
Definitely underground somewhere.

I shook my head, trying to remember what had happened and how I'd ended up in that...situation.

My brain was spinning a thousand miles a minute, pounding and aching violently with every slight movement.

Yeah, this...this definitely isn't good...

I thought.

How did I...

Poppy was depressed and she didn't want to talk...
So I headed into Iyana to buy some Jubi fruit...

Heh, she's always loved that stuff. Bit too sour for my taste, but I happily eat it with her. She always smiles when I do.

The market was packed, rare for that time of night...
Why were there so many people?

Oh, that's right!
There were all the sales on magic or energy items!

I remember walking through and seeing some truly amazing things.

Though...how did I get here from the market?

A sudden clunk from across the room made me jump as a door, originally invisible in the darkness, opened up.

A dark figure, hidden in shadows with only the red glow of unnatural eyes showing through stepped inside.

Then there was a familiar face.

Nim!

I let out a small sigh, feeling a slight sense of relief.

She uncomfortably followed the figure, watching me with nervous eyes.

...what's wrong with her?

Oh right...tied up...that might have something to do with it...

"Oh my gosh...it's hideous..."
Nim stuttered, covering her mouth with her hands.

Oh, thanks. You're not exactly perfect yourself, y'know?

Wait...why am I not talking? I'm thinking but...why aren't the words coming out of my mouth?

Nim! Hey! Little help?!

"Yeah...poor creature...it must have lived in so much agony to have reached this point..."
The dark figure sighed, shaking its head.

Wait a second...something was coming back to me...

Nim! I saw her at the market!
She was wearing a new cloak and...and nobody had seen her for such a long time, I was so worried!

I told her she had to come home...

But she wanted to go somewhere first...to get her things...

"You needn't give it pity, Will...because I sure don't..."

Nim...why are you being so cruel?
It?
I've known you for thousands of years, we've helped each other through so much!
What happened to you...

This man...who is he?

Hold on...I think...

Yes! Nim had been staying with him!
