Sun

Chapter 8

        Ray and Heaven were in the ruined throne room, after Sun disposed of the many corpses. The Royal Assassin went on to tell The Princess the semi-speech Sun told him, explaining it vividly. Even She had no idea what to make of it, being the only one who could somewhat understand him. "What does seppuku even mean?" Ray pondered. Delvin then walked in, calmed down finally, and said, "Seppuku is Japanese suicide samurais generally do because they have forsaken their master or themselves. " He then continued to help Heaven and Ray pick apart Sun's paragraph, eventually receiving the cognizance of his words. "S-so he wanted to kill himself because he  cannot feel happy about his actions therefore he believes he has disgraced himself  because of the curse of intelligence?" Said the muddled assassin.

"Remember when I said 'No-one could do it like Sun' ?"

"Yes....is this what you meant?" Heaven nodded. Ray's envy completely vanished after seeing The Princess's nod, as if it was slowed down in time to make sure he knew his feelings were wrong. "But what about 'Rip apart the old memories with your hands, stopping sadness completely' ?" Heaven grinned before walked out, leaving Delvin and Ray staring at one another in equal bafflement.

        Sun closed his book and stood up, turning just to see Armon staring him down. "How did you like my words, Armon?" 

"Y-you know my name? And how did you know I was listening?"

"You think you are good, but I have dealt with your kind before. What is it you want?"

"I wish to know your past."

"Why?" Armon pulled out a dagger.

"Because." Sun looked down at the dagger.

"I can safely assume you are serving the Darkness, therefore Moon correct?" The mysterious man's eyes pinned as he dropped the dagger, astonished at the Elf's deductive skills.

"Y-yes...." Armon began to reconsider coming up there.

"Do you even know any of Moon's secrets?"

"N-no..."

"Then why bother learning mine for him?" Armon picked up his dagger and put it over his own heart before saying,

"Within this spreading darkness, I pledged a vow to Revolution. I will not let anyone interrupt it." He then sheathed his dagger.

"Yes, you serve Moon. I thought you might do that." Sun then took out a small bird, the bird then, mimicking  Armon in his voice, said the pledge. The black-coated man's eyes pinned once more before vanishing. Sun gave the bird a treat and told him to fly to Heaven. The obedient avian cheerfully agreed. The Bleached Genius proceeded to take out seven dice. Six of them were made from marble and professionally dotted with black ink. One was made of paper, and dotted in with a green crayon. "I will not let anyone interrupt it..." Sun quietly said to himself.

        Heaven saw the bird from two feet away and held out her finger. The bird said in Sun's voice, "This is what a man named Armon said," before repeating the pledge in this potential enemy's voice. She handed the courier a treat before it flew to the largest nest in the Elven Forest. 

        Armon had reappeared at the top of the Castle, staring down at Heaven giving the bird the treat. He crouched over and pulled out his dagger. "May your soul ascend, you should have not interrupted the Revolution." he whispered to himself. Armon gracefully leaped down, making enough noise to alert Heaven but not another soul. She quickly turned to see the black-coated and mouth-covered assassin with his dagger shining in the moonlight. "Call the guards, I dare you." he said. Heaven proceeded to, only to see seven seconds later nine dead guards. Armon proceeded to corner The Princess, looking her into her diamond eyes with his mahogany ones. "You just wasted nine lives. How do you feel, cat?"

"W-who are you?" Heaven was also wondering how the man was talking with his mouth covered, but she was more worried about her life at the time.

"I am the man your little birdie told you. You are now out of lives..."

"R-Ray! S-Sun! D-Delvin!" Heaven hopelessly cried out.

"Ray is sleeping...Delvin is taken care of. Sun is isolated as usual. He will not notice this like the demons..." Armon then thoroughly stabbed his dagger through The Princess's stomach, pull the blade out from the other side. He then vanished to leave Heaven bleeding fatally. 

        While the events at the Castle were happening, Sun was staring down Moon in his mind. "My Revloution's motive is stronger than your's, Bleached Genius."

"As true as so, I am less arrogant and do not have emotions to get in my way."

"Ever wonder what goes on when we go into our little stare-off? I do. Yet again this is the only time I do not meditate."

"Just my strategy working."

"Really? Because you may have startled my best soldier, but my plan still took that into account."

"Arrivederci, Moon."
