"You'll have to ask Sorrow that. This is my first time being here myself. " Torch looked over at a clock. "Why don't you go wake her and your brother. I'll get Scott up."
Andros` quickly wiped away there tears and entered the room, "Big Brother....." he said with a gasp, "What were you doing???"
Sorrow sat up rubbing her eyes. "What's all the yelling about?"
Makiel smiles as he begins to wake up, "Wowey what a dream and Sorrow you were in......" he than realized she was awake and jumped up smiling, "I meant to say that ahhh it was an amazing sleep on your bed sorrow," Makiel said avoiding the dream.
Andros` smiled, "So what did you to do last night," trying to embarace them.
Sorrow was still rubbing her eyes awake. "Nothing. Just talked. Why?" she blinked up at Andros. "Andros? You're hugging me? A shadow walker?"
Andros` stepped back and before leaving stated, "Odd I thought I heard odd noises," laughed than left.
Makiel turned red as was preatty evident with his now white hair, "HAha ya so ahhh ya," was all he could say.
"Did I miss something here?" Sorrow asked as they headed down for breakfast.
Andros` gave his usual fake smile, he didn't really know happiness yet but he really wanted to know what it was, "Nothing at all justa hangin out."
"Must be a boy thing." Sorrow decided. "Cool. Who made breakfest?" Scott shrugged patting Torch, who reveries to her canine mode. "Wasn't me." Scott said.
Andros` laughs, "The dog did it I think or that mighta been a dream," he shrugged off.
Makiel smiled to she his brother laugh, that wasn't a common emotion amungst lightwalkers and he was proud to see his little brother developing it.
Andros` laughs, "The dog did it I think or that mighta been a dream," he shrugged off.
Makiel smiled to she his brother laugh, that wasn't a common emotion amungst lightwalkers and he was proud to see his little brother developing it.
"Torch? You on something?" Scott asked. "A dog can't cook."
Torch wagged her tail at Andros.
Andros` played along, "Ya ya I forgot to take my crazy pills this morning," he convenintly joked.
Makiel smiled and just laughed.
Sorrow laughed along as well. Scott raised an eyebrow. "oookkk...Let's eat!"
Andros` looked at them as he sat down and quickly ate his plate away with the use of no silverware while Makiel delacately chewed every bite.
"This is really good Andros." Sorrow said happily as she ate. "I didn't know you could cook."
Andros` smiled and took the credit sarcastically, "Yes Yes I cook devinely didn't you know on top of beening a warrior with no equal I'm a master chief," Andros` said seeming ever so serious.
Makiel knew Andros` was the worst cook he'd ever seen so he laughed aloud as he ate the great meal, "Yum Yum, Andros` you outdid yourself."
Sorrow laughed. "Seems that Andros is opening up to us more."
"Or he could be faking just to throw us off."
"Scott be nice."
Torch went over and nuzzled Andro's hand, giving a little whine for attention.
Andros` pet Tourch as he smiled, "Of course I'm throwing you off I wouldn't tell you who I am," he chuckled.
Makiel laughed and winked, "Oh Ya I'm here all the way and this tastes good, you screwed up with the seasoning though," Makiel laughed aloud.
"Either way it good." Sorrow smiled. "Torch seems to trust him now. Canines are very good at knowing this kind of stuff."
Andros` didn't like that it seemed like she had just said he was on there side, "But I want you to know I'm still just here to kill you guys and gain Makiels power so don't let your guard down."
Makiel smiled and said, "Ok little brother we understand."
"k then. On a different subject, since we're in shadow land I thought I let you guys know about the rules here so no one gets hurt." Sorrow leaned forward a little. "One: Don't go pass the fence gate in the front yard. Two: don't enter the woods out back. Three: do not I repeat do not let anyone outside come in."
Makiel smiled, "Ok I'm not worrying, I'll try not to answer the door," Makiel laughed.
Andros`looked at them, "Whatever I'll consider it."
"I mean it Andros. There are a lot of horrible things that even you and your brother can not win against. Pure darkness and sins of those who had passed away. We shadowwalkers keep them here so they do not walk among the living and cause harm."
Andros` smiled, "Ya I'm sure you guy's do," Andros` rolled his eyes.
Makiel slapped Andros` hand who pulled it back quickly, "Shut up believe what you hear there not here to lie to us."
Sorrow leaned back, relaxing a little. "That's the major rules that are life threatening. All the others will reveal during your stay." she smiled. "Hopefully I can make better rooms for you guys."
"Well well," Andros` said still as blunt as ever, "That would be a bit more comfortable than where you have me sleeping."
Makiel sternly stared him down and Andros` slightly cowered, "We don't need that we'll be fine as is thank you though."
"Oh don't be silly. I can't let family sleep on the floor. Besides, Master always said that those who don't get enough sleep tend to be very grouchy like a bear." She giggled. "And I'm afraid you can't sleep in my room Makiel. Master would not like it."
Makiel frawned, "Come on lover I'm sure we can get married or something, that would get around it."
Andros` laughed, "That's funny a shadow and a beam of light, wow impossible," he laughed aloud.
"Andros. Have you ever seen a ying yang pendent?" Sorrow asked, looking him straight in the eye.
Andros` cocked his head smartily, "Yes it's a load of crap, to sides of the same coin can never be the same, there are to theories I take the one that sounds plossible, you may circle forever but never truely touch," Andros` said thinking he had outsmarted the room.
Makiel looked at him, "Andros` you really want to remain distant I'm sorry little one," Makiel said, feeling sorry that Andros` didn't want to accept the feeling's that Makiel was sure he had begun to feel.
"True. But," She pulled out a pendent of a Ying Yang. "Notice how that each side have a peice of the other. Light and Darkness are need to balance the world. Neither can live without the other."
"Depends on you're oppinion, on the holy crusades we believe that light is the begining and the end," Makiel informed and Andros` nodded, "I do agree with her though."
"So as much as you wanna hate us shadow walkers, you can't live without us." sorrow chuckled.
"I don't really think anyone can truely handle the purest form of both it would make you lose yourself, I'm sure pure light would just incinerate us," Makiel said seriously.
Andros` looked away, "I can handle it."
"well enough on hat. Once you guys are all rested, I'll make a portal so we can head back on our journey."
Makiel smiled, "Well well I'm ready to go if you are lets go, oh and whats the plan,I know they wont bother me or Andros` but you will have to completely shroud your darkness."
Andros` smiled, "Guess we'll have to go alone."
"Well..Scott and I can pretend to be normal people..Though I'm not sure about Torch. I guess she could stay here till we get to the city and then I can let her in our hotel room."
Scott patted Torch. "Not sure if it's gonna work..."
Makiel smiled, "Aw scott why, it's a greatish plan," he chuckled, "I'm sure everything will work out as long as neither of you use dark attributes than we should be fine."
Andros` chuckled, "Makiel it's simple he's to close to the mutt he wonts to stay with her."
"Don't you dare call Torch a mutt ya damn brat." Scott hissed getting to his feet.
Sorrow panicked, fearing a fight was going to happen. "Now boys, let not fight please."
Andros` chuckled sorta happy it was back to him not being a friend he was scared to change, "Ya pyro, a 13 year old pyro maniac wans me to stop wow, scary," he laughed as he stood up.
Makiel grabbed Andros` arm, "If you two idiots are stupid enough to fight this close to the city take it outside," he sighed, "Brats."
"We're not near any city ya damn lightwalker. We're in the shadow world." Scott snapped. "And I'll be happy to keep up the fight out front."
Andros` smiled, "Lets go," he smiled as he went to the door and put his hand on the door nob ready to turn it.
Makiel frowned, "STOP, you idiot want to kill us all."
"Back off Makiel." Scott growled. "This is between me in the brat."
Sorrow sighed. "Such morons..Let them fight."
Makiel accepted it and moved back, "Yas Ma'am well I'll watch," Makiel softly said.
Andros` opened the door and walked out, "Let's go little man."
Outside was a small front prouch with a little garden. Everything else was nothing. Black swirling nothing. Whispers could be heard past the gate from the lost souls. Scott walked out and stepped to one side of the garden. "Ready when you are."
Andros` ran out and stoped in the middle of the yard, turned around, and looked at Scott, "Finally something I understand," he whispered to himself than yelled out, "Ready," Andros` tried to bend the light but it was not working he noticed some light from inside and straighend his powers to make a sword of light, but he was already panting from that simple act.
"Heh. You are an idoit. Light does not ldwell in the land of shadows." Scott smirked. He lunged out the other, extending his claw like nails.
Andros` gave up and just went to fight, "Let's go hot stuff," he chcukled as he ran full speed and jumped over Scott, he wanted to fight but he was going about it more strategically.
Scott acted more like a wild animal fighting for it's life as he slashed at Andro's legs. He was first going to make sure that his prey could ran away then rip off his head.
Andros` felt his legs begin to burn as he landed his leg felt wet and he realized the beast had cut his leg, not to deep but it bleed, and that this wouldn't be so easy because his enemy wouldn't be strategically falling into his traps but frantically warring. Andros` ran forward than swung his right fist at Scotts face, "Brute force aye well than let's do this."
Just as Scott was about to get hit, a woman stood by the gate. "Andros..." she whispered. "Why can you not get along with the other childeren?" she asked in a motherly way. "Makeil never fought with them, why can't you behave?"
Andros` stopped in mid fight and was drawn to the motherly voice he'd only heard as a child, he slowly neared the gate but stopped, "Who Are You," he softly spoke, for the first time in along time he felt as if his mother was back.
Makiel was watching and became obviously confussed, "What is this it reminds me of.....something Dead."
"Do you not recgonize your own mother Andros?" the female asked with hurt evident in her voice.
Sorrow frowned. "Makiel. Get back into the house. Scott you too."
Makiel had become mesmerized but in a different way he was standing there with his arms crossed and couldn't think of what he was hearing just the beautiful face he remembered and was haunted by.
Andros` smiled happily and moved a little closer still not near but close to the gate, he was still a bit hesitant, "How did you get to this Hell what happened."
"Everyone that dies ends up here Andros. This is the land of Shadows, the land of the dead." The woman held out her arms. "Come closer so I may see how you have grown my son." she smiled.
Sorrow quickly shoved Makiel to the door. "Move it!" Scott enter the house quickly with Torch.
Andros` moved closer as she asked than touched her face, "Why did you leave us mother Makiel was lost and had only ambision, I was sad and had nothing but him to protect me, We were alone," Andros` began to cry before them.
Makiel stepped back into the door than came to his sences, "Wait what of my brother???"
"I'll take care of it. Just get inside.' Sorrow ran up and grabbed Andros' arm. "Andros! Listen to me. That's not who you think it is. It's a trick."
"Andros." the woman said sweetly. "Don't listen to this devil's child. She only wishes to destory you and your brother."
Andros' pulled away he was confussed he hated shadow walkers but why would she want to hurt him when she could've killed him the night before and he believed his mother could be real so he sat there debating what to do.
"Andros remember what I said during breakfest. Anything past my gates are evil spirits that are full of trickery and lies. That is not your mother."
"Don't listen to the tainted child my son. Her soul is lost, her heart black. She has already started to feed off your brother's soul and she will soon feast on yours."
Andros` turned to his mother, "Than we most save Makiel I knew this new aura of so called love was just trickery, how do we save him!"
"Let me past the gate so we can destroy her Andros. Once I eat her soul, your brother will be free." The woman smirked.
Andros` was ready to open it than stopped, "Why eat her soul, that seems irrelivant and how are there souls connected, I DON'T UNDERSTAND Mother. why" Andros` said holding his head in confussion.
"Souls are what makes us exist. We may day but we still exist. Let me through and I will reveal you the truth." The woman replied. Torch ran up to Andros' side, nudging him away from the gate.
Andros` looked to everyone than to his mother he wanted so badly for her to love him again, "I Love you Mother," he said as he went to open the gate.
