The Night Rider

I'm Out For Vengeance

Nick's POV

I stood over Kate's grave and said a few last words "I wish I could've protected you......I'll see you soon.....goodbye." I turned around and started to walk I didn't know where I was going all I knew was I was gonna end Shan for taking Kate away from me. I heard Syriac's voice and stopped walking he said "Anger is as much a tool of vengeance as it is a tool of your destruction." "Spare me the phylosophy lesson!!! I'm already pissed of enough with out you complicating things." I started to walk away when I heard him say "You will never forget her but you will over come this you will move on to the next chapter in your life." I turned around and looked at his misty form and said "Don't you dare say that!!!! I loved her!!! I protected her!!!! I was gonna save her!!!!" Syriac morphed into his I guess human form and smiled saying "Yes yes yes it always has to be about you, you always have to be the hero, always have to save someone all in a futile attempt to erase the sins of your past well I can truely say this without regret you were always in her hands she controled you like a puppet as much for her own amusment as yours, you meant nothing to her she may have loved you but at one time but in those final moment there was a sense of releif in you wasn't there? You forget that I am apart of you, I feel what you feel." I yelled and said "Stop playing games what are you trying to do?!?!?!" Syriac walked forward and said "I"m trying to free you mind, body, and soul those are the only things that are going to allow you to defeat Saroc." "Saroc?" I said "who the hell is that?" Syriac said "An enemy that you don't wish to fight, I gave my existence up to become a guardian of this world Saroc followed me hoping to gain my power using Shan as his instrument." I said "Enough riddles what am I gonna fight? Where am I gonna wage this epic battle." I said sarcastically "This isn't a game!!!" Syriac snapped "Saroc will come for you because of my power and right now you are in a weakened state."  I knew I was just throwing my rage at him but I knew something was wrong Syriac seemed uneasy as if worried by this. Syriac said "I'm very sorry for this." and jumped at me molding himself into me I lost all control of my self I was at his mercy I saw what he saw and realized why he did that I saw the same red mist that I'd used earlier and saw it mold into a human shape and saw two black redish blades appear from its arms and saw it charge me....Syriac.....us. Syriac was in control now he jumped over the charging shape and said "I need your help in this body Nick." I felt him channel massive amounts of energy into a sword like shape that appeared in my hands it was a blue blackish color and saw the mist charge again this time Syriac and I charged as well we raised our blade and started to slash at the shape each hit just a fraction of an inch away from hitting it, this thing was fast and powerful if Syriac needed to get involved. We fought till the blade we held was starting to dissipate Syriac yelled "The soul blade depends on you for strength the harder you fight the stronger the blade becomes!!!" I felt all my emotions fear, anger, loss and poured them into the blade and saw it shine brightly back to life and saw the shape fall back only to dissipate against the blades light. My mind was a blaze with thought I recalled all of Syriac's memories all his pain and guilt it was far to intense, his mere memories and thoughts were so much more ancient then I'd thought, he'd seen empires rise and fall, he'd been the weapon that everyone sought to gain. So many questions arose why him? What did he do? Why was Saroc following him? All I knew for sure in that moment was Syriac was hiding something.......he was afraid.
