Legendary Volume 3 - Guilty By Design

Chapter 9

Amar'e placed down his Nexus and looked up to find a pair of eyes trained on him. Lisa and Ursa stared at him and Luke, now fully intrigued by what they were doing.

“So you are martial artists? I knew it! That explains everything; they are like the people Dad always went on about Lisa." Ursa excitedly told Lisa.

“Our old man wasn't making that up after all I guess. It seems like you two have a lot to deal with though. Who is Destiny, Heather and Eric? And who's going to be in Arizona?" Lisa asked curiously.

“That sure is a lot to explain. Uh well, where do I begin?" Amar'e said rubbing his head, “Well, Luke, Matthew and I are a part of this dojo with six others. The masters there had gathered us for something important and we're going to train us the next four years but then these two girls found their ways into our lives, Destiny and Heather. You can say that they both well..."

“Brought more trouble than their worth." Luke finished his sentence for him coldly.

Amar'e sighed, “Yea...that's one way of putting it. In the end, we all had a huge argument and it led the three you just named leaving as well as Luke and another."

“So you and Matthew came looking for them and found Luke here?"

Amar'e nodded.

“Wow, this is gonna be sweet. A cross country trip to find super powered martial artists! You guys think you can teach me some things?" Ursa asked eagerly.

“Hehe, we'll have to see about that." Amar'e smiled ambivalently.

“Well just as long as you don't forget your promise to me." Lisa reiterated.

“With the amount of food you're prepared to eat every night, I'll just count that as your payment." Luke growled.

“Alright, I can accept that but what's wrong Luke? Can't handle a girl eating h Eric fair share of food?" Lisa teased.

“Not when they eat like a pig."

Lisa's mouth dropped open as the insult of being called a pig pierced through her as if someone had threw a spear through her chest. Then the dark aura returned. Ursa quickly tried to change the conversation again before her sister had a chance to lunge herself at Luke.

“S-so uh, what about Eric and the other?"

Amar'e stared to his side at a window, ironically enough; Lisa had a painting of a dragon hanging next to it.

“Like Luke said...that's a whole other story."

Luxi slowly blinked as she awoke from her long rest. Her eyes were crusted but she felt rejuvenated from head to toe. She noticed Myra lying next to her, beginning to stir too in the snow white sheets that were draped over her. There was a slight rhythmic rocking of her bed that made her want to drift off the sleep again. Where was she? Last night seemed so vague, like a distant memory. Then she looked around the room. It was long like a hallway and about 10ft apart in length. Then she heard a voice call to her and Myra, and she turned towards the direction, almost instantly remembering what was going on.
