C345: Gadfly

Black Zedonk a word that ringed Ain's interest. Wercy had them as his underlings. Thinking that many survived had Ain wondered if Wercy was the only one to blame back then. He instructed the team to divert and follow them, Urchin who understood his motive supportef his idea. Saga just trailed them as he get drowned by his own emotional problem. His unknowingly bottled up burden got heavier. It attracts a black orb that looms out of his view. His eyes were glued to the sound of steps before him that he did nit notice what is gathering from within himself.

The night approaches and Ain started giving his instructions.

"Urchin you knew the background. Dig deeper." He introduced.

"Cherith you conceal your movement above. Collect anything suspicious." He motioned.

"Ole, Remained with Saga. Since at this moment his sanity depends on you." Ain concluded.

Cherith spread his thin wings and moved up. Urchin and Sycamore merged with the people as Sycamore uses his gift. Ain marked the space he wanted to sliced through. Ole marched and suddenly enlaced her hand with Saga who got his senses back.

"Don't forget who is with you. Your about to lose it." Ole versed as she sat and pressed her fingers in between his masculine one.

Saga felt like his weight got lesser as he reflected a slight smile.

"Are you falling back at me?" Ole winked.

Saga blinked as his face started to get flushed.

"Stop bullying me." He whispered.

"I am not. Didn't i told you that I will do what I can for you to fall back." Ole replied.

Saga felt defeated for some unknown reason.

Cherith averted his gaze away from Ole and Saga. He took in the air to get himself focused on his assigned task. He flight from every nook and cranny to find nothing but people gathering and chitchatting. Cherith appeared by Ain's side who was laughing with the men.

"I did not scoop out any." Cherith delivered as a joke but Ain caught what he meant.

Ain eyed Urchin and Sycamore who is sharing their stories with the young men who are on the same age as them.

Sycamore can't helped but be annoyed at how the past he have seen are uniformed.

"There past memories seemed to belong from one person. They all held the same. This is anxiously suspicious." He warned.

Saga perked up from what he said.

"Now that you mentioned, I felt like some thing heavy was hovering above me while we were walking with them."

"Exactly, someone is watching us. The moment we met them had us lead within someone's playground." Urchin explained.

"No wonder my wings felt clipped." Cherith admitted.

Ole hissed as she gave out the signal that they are being monitored.

"They will count at three and will start their attack." She notified.

Saga felt Ole's hand warmly supported his.

She clasped it with hers and prayed.

"Our God who knows it all. You are the one who knows what pushes our weakness. Your are our helmet, spear, sword and shield. Allow us to rise like a surging water that will expose what is being dressed by this clones. Amen."

Ole had her bones turned into an axe. Saga felt how Ole's gift carried a light touch in his finger tips.

Her coal shoes ignited as she stood in her armour. Her glam showed her collarbone it was enough to clasp her shoulders, waist, elbow and knees. Saga felt so proud of her but Cherith commented.

"You looked like an extra."

Cherith arched his back and prayed.

"Our march and battle are commanded by you. Let it be that this reroute would help the roots to be aligned to yours. May this wrestle bring us home.Amen"

Cherith had his wings like a web and viens. The thread was silver but is sharp enough to pierce the air.

Ain said his Amen and the whole psace cracked.

Their real location got exposed. It was the same place where they are meant to exit.

Sycamore spread his branches as he charmingly and wonderfully showed the very nature of his name. Urchin summoned his second hand as his armour got polished.He was like a prince of time as the sound of ticking radiated from his every attack. The Black Zedonk are known for stoning alive people within a literally formed small stones.

The started to combat as they moved in sync. They all have one kick, punch and offenses.It was like they are fighting a scripted match. Ain aimed for the space as he got supported by the youngsters when Saga suddenly got planted on the ground.

Saga started to magnify and kill all that are in the place.The birds were getting dunk on the ground. All the insect like horsefly, botfly or warble fly died bing smashed on the ground. Ole pressed his fingers as she faced him.

"You should not allow what you feel cloud up what you already know. Be firm and strong. You can do it."

Saga suddenly got drown from his own subconsciousness. He sinked in till his view became black. His hand reach out for help when Ole's faint voice shook his core. When came to reality Ole's word became bold and powerful. It had his gift got eradicated in an instant.

Cherith and Urchin whistled at how Ole effectively brought back the confused Saga.

"Your being sucked in. Don't sink. You will lose your breath. They will poses you. They are clones remember?" Ole advised, Saga nodded like a child obediently.

The clone kept getting up as they got sliced. They were like an ink that reforms after every slaughter. Ain can't help but be irritated at how thick the layer of spell was put upon Ole's location. They are shelled by the time hunters who used the Black Zedonk tactic. Ain pierced through as his cut did not put on a lattice on their current place. The cunning and witty stimulation of the time lepear's hunter had them perform the same action over and over again.
