Mystic Syn

The brother’s grin grew as he saw his knife make contact, bloodlust seeping into his eyes. He quickly slipped a knife back into its sheathe, reaching out and managing to touch Elya, his power bursting alight within him as lacerations began to appear on Elya’s skin, tracing their way all over her body.

Ji cursed as a corpse came after him. He thrust his hand up, a blade zipping and embedding itself in the ceiling. With a grunt, he pulled himself off the ground and into the air, narrowly avoiding the corpse. He cursed again, but sent his ghostly blades towards the corpse that was after him. More blades appeared, zipping towards any other corpses that stood in the way. The brother looked up at Ji, grinning. “Ji Naito,” he said, brandishing his knives, but instead of going after him, he turned to Elya. He tilted his head at her. “The way you fight is familiar,” he said, before lunging at her, the grin widening every passing second.

Ji didn’t have to be told twice. He immediately rolled off his cot, falling on the ground with a grunt. His veins burst alight with power as Ji looked up, squinting to find the shooter, but came up with nothing. As his blades materialized, Ji crawled with grimaces of pain hopefully out of the shooter’s line of sight. “A sniper, great,” he muttered, brushing off debris off his hoodie. “What we need now is––” His comment was cut short as laughter filled the room, echoing off the walls. “My my my,” a voice said, dripping with laughter. “When she said that they were desperate, she wasn’t kidding. An abandoned hospital! The one that’s taboo to step in!!” The voice howled with laughter. “Dear brother,” another voice said, “you know terrorists have no standards.” Two figures stepped from the shadows, both wearing the same twisted grin. They were Corhic, and it was almost too hard to tell which part of Corhes they hailed from, till the older one ran his tongue over his sharpened canines. The male radiated wild energy, his twisted grin becoming larger as he looked over the people in there. The female had a hand on her hip, her calmness off-setting the male’s wildness. “You think they’d mind?” the man asked, his stance becoming loose as his laughter filled the room. “No, brother––” She raised a hand and flicked her fingers forward, corpses of different shapes and sizes appearing from the shadows, lunging towards the group “––I don’t think they do.” The brother’s grin grew as he lunged forward, knives flashing in his hands.

Wait, what's happening??

This past week has just been exhausting for me lol.

“The Pacis probably has most, if not all of them,” Ji replied between bites. “The Lifegivers that aren’t a part of the Pacis are probably in hiding, and it would most likely be Light near impossible to find some that are willing to rebel.”

Ji sat up, moving to get out and get some food, but stopped as he looked down on his leg and muttered something. He laid back down.

“By ‘running into each other,’ she means jumping in the way of running from the Pacis.”

Oh yes, I am fine, thank you. How are you?

*laughs in never talks to anyone, never had a crush, and never really interested in that sort of stuff* But seriously: I’ve never thought of people in that way before, and I really don’t have plans to get into a relationship for a while. Like, all of the two guy friends I have feel more like family than anything, and all my gal friends are just friends cos.. well, I’m not interested in gals in that way. Who needs to be in a relationship when you can just lie on your floor, crying by yourself?

“Corner of that room with food.”

“Can’t say ‘food’?” Ji raised a hand and gestured off to the left. “There’s a room a couple doors down. It has food in there, some better than others.”

“What? I’m just giving options.” He looked at the newly awakened Ne’ik. “Speak of the devil…”

“I mean,” Ji said, sitting up. “We could always give him the––” He made thrusting motions with his hand “––you know.”

“That’s how this whole emotional attachment works,” Ji chimed in.

"I can finally live my life in peace, knowing that they're avenged," he said.
