Darkness & Light (Book 1)

Chapter 8 - Guardian Master

Lily's POV

      I woke up to A hugging my abdomen, and I giggled because when I tried removing her, she just tightened her grip and snuggling into my tummy even more. 

     "Hey Lesbo  lover, I need to pee pee," I giggled poking her cheek.

      She cracked an eye open and grumbled, "Hurry up and pee."

        She is such a touchy baby towards me during her periods. However the day needed to start and we had to get answers for yesterday.

       "I already did, Lilz," A said lazily from the bed as she opened up her mind and let the events play through my head.

      I did not know who had it worse, A or me because my mother nor did Gran hate Chaos but Death on the other hand. He was something else entirely, he was not demon nor human. He was something other worldly and there was such a strange aura surrounding him. I will not allow my sister and I to be separated. We will fight, big guy dammit! After we got our morning routine out of the way, we headed down to see our mums and Gran sitting at the dining table silently looking at each other. I'm guessing they were apprehensive on my behavior this morning.

      "I apologize for the way I reacted yesterday but the day had taken a toll on me and knowing that you all knew what would eventually happen to us but didn't say anything to either of us kind of did me in," I sighed and looked at my mother.

     "Oh sweetheart," my mother approached me and engulfed me in her warm embrace.

      I exhaled deeply and sat down with A to have Gran's famous chocolate chip pancakes with Hershey's chocolate sauce alongside a nice cold glass of Moo Chocolate Milk. Now you maybe thinking, wow that's a lot of chocolate but Gran always made this for us when one of us were on our periods and had a lot of stress. Chocolate is a woman's best friend, forget diamonds or gold. Today, everyone would be discussing what was going to take place. We would try and contact the Guardian Master while we're at it, in order to see if he would be able to render any assistance at all. 

       Everyone gathered in the living room and looked at each other.

       "We need to call GM, he will know what to do," A said and looked at Gran for approval.

      I nodded, and we both held hands and we mumbled in our ancient language as a portal open up and out stepped old man T, our Guardian master. Yes old man T was our Guardian master. 

*Flashback*

       We were training but A was upset, she was happy that I  invoked  my true form however she was very depressed she was not able to. She didn't want to be dishearten but she was doubtful of her abilities. 

    "Would I ever become truly become a guardian Lilz?" she asked as she put down her sword and sat on the ground.

    "It will happen in time, A" I said to her and  sat beside her on the grass.

     It was then we heard a roar from the sky, and we both looked up. It was then we saw a giant black demon dragon in the sky, it's dark blood red eyes shone like sparkling rubies amongst coal. It landed right in front of us and flashed it's razor sharp teeth at us. We sprung to our feet and picked up our arms to defend ourselves. I called upon my demon side and shifted into my demon side. I growled back at the beast and it attacked us. It was 10 times bigger than us and it body slammed into A and grabbed me in its mouth. Suddenly we heard a voice (the dragon).

     'Little demon, your blood will sate my hunger!' it's deep voice sounded in my head.

   It was then it bit down on my abdomen and pain radiated throughout my body as I barely hung onto my consciousness. A loud roar, something that sound like a mixture of a tiger, lion and jaguar's roar sounded throughout the sky, shaking the balance of time. Suddenly I felt the pressure on my tummy ease and something warm encase my body. A couple seconds later I heard a loud groan and loud thud. 

    "Lilz," I heard an angelic voice from above of me.

       When my eyes cracked open, I saw A. She invoked her true form! She looked so perfect, not good nor evil. Her pupils were red, her hair turned to a luscious, thick and glossy texture and her wings... Wait! Wings! She had pearly white wings, angel wings but there were shiny black specks that littered the inside of her wings. On her arms, there was black spiral tattoo like winding around her arms. She was beautiful yet so she looked so strong. Suddenly something snapped into place, as if our mind was combined as warmth radiated where the wound caused by the dragon was. What was that?

  "That my dear, was your bond," Old man T suddenly appeared out of nowhere.  

  "Bond?" I asked, "Oh my gosh, my wound!"

   "Yep, you're healed!" Old man T said, "A bond has been formed between the both of you, you are now connected via your soul."

       Suddenly a white smoke enveloped his body and his outfit changed into something a purple robe, with a golden spear. 

   "Let me reintroduce myself little brats, I am Guardian Master, Titanious,," Old man T smirked.

       Old man T was guardian master! Oh my god! The Guardian Master, the master of the guardian realm trained us! 

     We both looked at each other, and mumbled, "Old man! Holy Shit!!"

*Flashback ended*

     "Brats," he acknowledged us, "Mothers and grandmother of the brats."

          He sat down on the couch as we sat Japanese style on the ground in front them by habit. 

     "Gm, I..." A wondered off and stared at our Guardian Master. 

     "I know girl, I know everything," he said with a sad smile.

           This was one of the first time we saw GM with anything other than a happy, goofy smile or completely serious. He had a heartbroken look in his eyes and he shook his head at us. It was by that look, we knew that he knew about everything before us. He knew all along about what was going to happen to us, about Death and Chaos. A stab of betrayal rang through our bond, we both felt betrayed once more. Everyone knew about our future, about what was going to happen to us. Everyone except us knew. It hurt us both equally. Trust was something we valued the most above all. They broke it. Our family, our mentor. Why!

         Suddenly I heard a a low rumbling next me, A was trying to control her frustration. I grabbed her hand in order to soothe her anger, A rarely ever loses her temper but when she loses control, things can be very destructive. 

    "Guardian Master, what can be done?" I said in a cold voice.

   "Lily, please..." Guardian Master said softly.

        Ever since we knew him, we never addressed him formally or coldly and this would be the first time that we did that. A just turned to him with colder eyes, and tilt her head.

    "There is nothing that can be done, the oracle has spoken given his prediction and what he speaks," Guardian Master shook his head and looked up, "Death and Chaos, they may not necessarily want a bride but they know that you two are the only things that will ever complete them and Death especially made a deal with someone and he will always come and collect what is his."

      A and I looked at each other with sorrowful eyes. Our destiny sealed in concrete. What would our future hold?
