Fate: Trial Of The Past

Stone

"Fear." I heard Caydens voice, I looked up at him, "It can be our worst enemy, or our greatest ally." I looked back down at the dirt, "How can fear be our ally?" He stood up and put his hand out for me to grab, "By using the fear of your enemy in a battle to win." I grabbed his hand and he helped me up, "Oh I see, Watch out! Snake!" Cayden looked at me in disappointment, "I don't fear snakes. I hate them. They are fakes." He smiled at me, "Hey buddy, I think this is the time to wake up and open your eyes." My eyes opened wide, and I sat up quickly, "And see the world for what it really is." I searched the room, and it was like a hospital room. "Stone, are you okay?" Kaida asked me, "I'm fine, also stop with the Stone." I looked at her. "But if you are to train me, I will need to refer to you as Stone." I tried to stand up, I put my right arm on the bed sheets, as I moved it I felt pain rushing through it. "Hey you'll hurt yourself." Kaida told me, keeping me from getting up. "This pain can not compare to the pain I have felt when I lost Cayden." I looked at her, 'But it does hurt!" I smiled a little, "Hah, the pain is getting worse." I told Kaida, "No stop! Stop moving your arm, you're making it worse for yourself." I kept moving it, "You fight pain with pain!" I exclaimed with the biggest smile on my face, and tears in my eyes, "Okay, I'll stop." I stopped moving my arm.

"That was some stunt you pulled. I'm glad I was able to reach you before you burned completely." Kaida softly touched my right arm with both her hands as she sat next to me, "Thanks, but you should have left me there to die." She then squeezed my arm really hard, "Ahhh! OW! THAT HURT!" I yelled at her, "Then don't make death wishes." she then stopped applying pressure, I sighed, "Wow, I am still tired. Guess I'll sleep here. On this really soft pillow." I laid my head down on her laps. She then started playing with my hair, "You have nice hair, you must really take care of it." I looked up at her, "Yes I haven't washed it in years." I smiled and closed my eyes, "What!" she shoved me off her, "EWW!" I landed on my right arm, "AHHH!!!!" I got up and my hand felt like it was crushed by a planet. "Oh! I am so sorry!"

I looked at her with zero emotion, "I was joking about the washing hair thing." She smiled, "heh, really, I knew that!" She was scratching the back of her head, an obvious sign that you didn't know that. I inspected the room, it was filled with medical devices, one or two connected to me. I disconnected them. A nurse came rushing in, "Hey don't do that!" she yelled at me, she was wearing similar clothes to the other nurses, "But I don't need it." Kaida backed me up on this one, "Yeah and anyway we will be on our way now." As soon as she opened the door, Hugo showed up. "Hey, listen, I know we lied to you and everything, but please don't go to that extent to prove something. You could have died." he was smiling, also scratching the back of his head, "But if i had died, Aiden would be no more, you all would have been doomed. So blame yourselves for not believing that I am Aiden." Kaida hit my right arm, "Ow!" I looked over at her, and she was smiling, "Be nice." I felt some dark entity enter and Kaida's kind presence leave the room, "O-okay, okay, I'll be nice." I awkwardly smiled at Hugo. "It will not happen again!"
