Reaching Out

A boy left all alone in the world after being abandoned by his mother in a poor clan that treated him harshly because he started showing signs of being different from other kids and the people around him. With him being ostracized more and more he became less and less of the cheerful young kid he use to be until eventually turning discreet and mute around others in hopes that they would stop being scared of him. Though that plan never worked out for him and, in the end he was left to strive on his own as best as he could in the environment he was left in. He explored the towns library and any books he could find in his Clan even if they were useless. Years on years of doing such things eventually led him into stumbling across a book that would help push him towards the thing he wanted the most. "The Basic Guide To The Astral Path" This book may not of been special to anyone in the long run but, it was to him because, it was his new beginning. With this new path available to him would he be able to push through all the obstacles and hardships waiting for him or in the end will he stumble and fall? Or will people be there to catch him if he does once again?

A Wolf and A Boy Meet

While Belturn fell under a heavy atmosphere that could suffocate someone Xilo calmly walked down a hall as drawings passed him by. "You're weak." Pausing shortly he ignored his thoughts as he studied the pictures to see if he could find anything. "All sorts of drawings it seems." Looking at the pictures of gardens, cities and even people Xilo didn't find anything of use. "The original Astral Zones came to be because of other people right.....so what caused the others?" It wasn't something he had really thought of before until now but seeing such a lively looking Astral Zone he was curious. "Or maybe I should want to know what happened more...Nepl's, the 12 great families and dusk..." It had been a long time since he had thought about all these things but now with Xelfia gone and a lot of things had calmed down it was all flooding back to him just to keep him distracted.

"So are these offsprings of the main Astral Zones or something else."

Seeing a room up ahead he decided to check it out to keep himself distracted unfortunately he wasn't so lucky as to be alone in this place forever. "People and they already spotted me to...You're better than that Xilo." Looking up ahead he saw two people ahead of him blocking his path forward while one man entered the room. "The Wolf people from before it seems." Looking at their fur coats on their body along with the wolf tattoo that lined their arms or clothing it was harder to not recognize them. "Nor do they look very friendly." Walking up to them Xilo debated whether he should just turn around and leave or continue forward but he figured he would just be able to pass them by with no trouble involved, unfortunately that might have been a bit naive still.

"Hey you! stop."

"..."

Not stopping he continued forward ignoring them.

"Hey, we told you to stop."

"...Why?"

Stopping about a meter in front of them, Xilo watched their sheathes as they spoke. He could already hear it in their tones of voices that they wouldn't be the nicest of people. "Barking orders and all, they really are wolves." Looking at the two men in front of him, he wondered what they would do as he stood there and to his expectations after he questioned them why he saw them move their hands as an attack came flying at them. "It was just a question!" moving to the side he saw in the corner of his eye the man in the room give them a signal to attack before going back in. " I see, Figures they're not friendly." However there were no rules here and Xilo knew that. "Haaa....." Sighing he created an ice dagger and slashed at the fireball flying at him with surprising ease as another attacked head on with a giant sword.

"Just let me pass..."

""No.""

Hearing their voices echo the same thing together Xilo gave up trying to talk to them pretty fast and fought back. He was tired of this and really wasn't in the mood for such things at the moment, so if they wanted to attack him just for showing up in front of then then he was over it as well. "They must have found something pretty nice in there for them to want to keep me away so badly that they're willing to kill me on sight, well that's a shame for them I guess. I might have left it alone otherwise." With the level of these people Xilo wouldn't have much trouble even if there were two of them. They were only at the Transformation Stage after all.

Blocking the blade with a second dagger he threw the one in his left hand that wasn't doing anything at the man further back before he could fire more projectiles at him while deflecting the blade to the side and stabbing forwards into his chest. "Bye." Feeling his blade sink in while he was left wide open Xilo barely blinked for a second as another fire flew at him. "Figures." Kicking aside the man's friend he slashed the fireball as he charged forward with two more daggers in his hand that were created with speeds he was finally getting used to and threw another while slashing at his arm after getting close enough.

"Oh?"

Feeling his Ice dagger get blocked Xilo felt a little shocked as he looked up at the man who defended it. "I see...." greeted with the face he saw at the door before he was no longer surprised as before while he tried to shrug it off.

"What do you think you're doing?"

"Playing around, just like you it seems."

"Oh? Is gravely injuring one of my people and almost crippling another playing to you?"

"Is blindly attacking someone for no reason fun to you then?"

""...""

Looking at the slightly taller man in front of him as his hair fell down his shoulders Xilo looked at the symbol on his chest and saw the difference between the two other men's as he felt a strength he wasn't quite used to. "So these are just the lackey's then, I wonder what that makes him." It seemed each symbol was different based on the amount of teeth that surrounded the symbol of the black wolf on their coats and this man seemed to have two while the others had one.

"Attack you for no reason? I don't know what you're talking about. We're all friends here right?"

Xilo could feel his ear's stinging in pain just hearing that."

"What do you want."

"For you to back off."

"Maybe I might have before.....But now."

Saying that he jumped backwards as the man from before that was protected attacked him from the side while he was talking. Thankfully he managed to detect it with his slightly dull senses and jumped back as a flaming sword went past his face almost directly cutting into him.

"You want me to back off eh?"

Enjoy.
