(In the midst of the night, the moon shone on the grounds, black as obsidian, stood a boy stood having a strange predicament.)
Come on, come on,
still can't use my power, and why are my arms shaking every time? I try to use my powers, except for blood sense.
I'm wasting time; maybe I should hunt.
(The boy approached and touched the barrier; he seemed quite surprised that it opened for him. Ruven pondered on going further into the abyss.)
This forest is interesting; there are a lot of things to fight here
Huh? What's that? It looks interesting
(he tails this creature that fascinates him, a dark, slim creature, and plans ways to beat the creature)
It's a quick one; a surprise attack is my best option
(Ruven observes the creature waiting for the time to strike. As it turns its back with no utter hesitation, he strikes it.
just a-
"Dodge! I manage to dodge, no, it got. me"
(3 large claw marks are left on his back, and blood flooded out of the boy's wound. He swiftly distances himself from it.)
"This hurts! I have to find a way to dodge its attack. Maybe I should watch its eye, not with those white eyes."
"Maybe I should. It's coming!"
(The beast swiftly approaches him, and he attempts to dodge it, but to no avail. It attacks Ruven on all sides.)
"THIS WAS A BAD IDEA. WHAT WAS I THINKING?"
Well, it's pointless to cry about it. What can I do to beat it? Think, think, bloodsense! But I need to taste its blood.
How though, hmm...that!?Can work.
(He has found a way to beat the creature, but it pounces upon him again. He stands forever still as the beast comes close, he_)
You're mine! I'm not letting you go.
Now it's my turn.
(Ruven bit the creature's neck; he was pleased with this, as he does; his expression turned grim.)
Why are there so many of you!?
(The boy was surrounded by them, and they all struck him; he wasn't spared from the fierce onslaught.)
(At the palace, the emperor awoke from his slumber to do his kingly duties and patrol his domain. To his utter surprise, he sees the boy)
THIS CANNOT BE, BOY, SUCH INJURIES.
(He picks him up and gently places him on his back. He hastily ran to the castle. He awoke everyone in the castle.)
(They labored until dawn, so the boy doesn't face death after the ordeal. They rested, but the emperor stood by the boy's window.)
I'm alive, urgh, that hurts.
Boy, what utter foolishness, the forest of darkness is no mere child's play; if you weren't fortunate, you would have faced certain death.
I'm sorry, I just wanted to feel the excitement of fighting again,
(The emperor laughed at realizing that he and Ruven were alike, then he had thought, he returned to his duties)
It's been a while since he laughed like that, and Kurenai, don't you do that again.
I already apologize, and Hansai, if it's cool with you, is there a library?
You're asking this at the wrong time. don't make that face ha...fine
(The boy had a disappointed face that Hansai couldn't bear, and so departed to the library. There stood a grand door with two dogs at each side.)
We're here. Whoever did this craftsmanship, it's amazing.
Yeah, it's awesome.
Hey, who's Leriya? You were saying that name a lot.
