Welcome to Gaia! ::

Neo started to slowly rise from the ground, and his eyes weren't glowing red anymore. Neo looked around the floor at all the corpses laying around of orcs and goblins, and said to Mikka "I'm fine, Mikka.... Time has come to show you how I made the zombies that were in my room at the barred door...." as Neo said this, and rose from the ground, dark energy sstarted gathering around him, and he said very rigidly "Souls from hell and demons of vengeance, rise and take your vengeance upon he who has tormented you! Rise and attack he who opposes me!" and when he finished his sentence, very slowly, many of the corpses that were once dead, were rising, and with their eyes completely black in a zombie-like motion all of them. A lot of them stood up slowly, and started walking towards the shadow knight.

The shadow knight laughed, and said "Hahahahahaha!! Nothing, but dead corpses being sent at me. They can't really inflict any damage on me. They're too slow. They are inferior beings!" and simply stood there as they got close, he simply sliced them like butter.

Neo whispered to Mikka "This is our chance..." with his normal voice. It seemed Neo was in total control of himself now, and Ysuka was nowhere to be shown in his movements or voice.

Neo nodded, and the zombies were slowly being expended, but attacking only at the shdow knight's left side, and he saw that Mikka was running to the shadow knight's right side, so Neo used Magicka to make a large jump over to the top of the shadow knight (Magicka 56/70). He then used more Magicka to maintain himself over him a bit, as he used the Fire sword, and said "Dragon Fire!!"(Magicka 53/70) and a fiery dragon went straight from Neo's sword, while the shadow knight was cutting through the zombies, and then he easily blocked the attack with his other arm, and laughed at Neo's attack, not noticing Mikka.

Neo screams, as he intensifies the dragon's fire (Magicka 52/70) "Mikka, do it now!!" pushing her to pierce through his heart while she has the chance. The zombies are already all dying again, and some of them even still rise back but can't be up forever, since it's taking lots of Neo's Magicka away (Magicka 42/70).

The shadow knight's final words, as his armor glowed red from the hole Mikka left after she stepped back, and he laughed This isn't the only shadow knight, and servant of Death you'll see in your way! Hahahahahaha!! There will be much stronger.... Oh, and Neo... you know nothing of yourself either...." and then he dissipated into shadows with a little wind blow, as the dagger hit the floor, which Mikka had striken him with.

Neo sighed, as he finally landed on the floor with his right knee on the floor, and him panting, as the rest of the zombies also dissipated into the shadows, when Neo whispered "Your job is done, souls. You have been avenged. Now you may rest in peace" and he panted as his eyes got blurry, and his wounds were healed but he could feel the damage inside of himself.

Neo stand up, grabbing his right arm, and looking at Mikka, and answers her "I should be fine after some rest, and we can keep going. In the meanwhile, let's head out of these walls and into the woods again to rest. We actually fought some hours with these basterds. I'll answer all the questions you have as well." and then he starts limping his way to the outside of the walls of the tower, waiting for Mikka to follow.

Neo laid against the walls of the tower, and then he breathed in the fresh sky, while still grabbing his right arm, which was still healing, and he grunted at himself from the hurt, and from how tired he was. He then tilted his head to her, while looking at her, and answered "Being his grandson... the grandson of the greatest sorceror, and alchemist who lived in this world... well, everyone wants a piece of me... maybe you understand?" Then he smiled a bit at her, and answered "I am just the age I look. I am 17, how about you?"

Neo simply ignored her somewhat unneeded laugh, while looking up with his hands inside his pants, and said "Kid? You act more like one than me... and say more miscalleneus topics than a kid." then he stood up, and walked to another side of the tower's walls, as he was still angry at her comment before of humans. He walked lazily, while looking up, and trying to forget for the meanwhile about her streak of bad topics to touch, but his mind was simply ravaged by her comments. He walked with his hands inside his pockets and looking down lazily, as his feet sounded on the grass, and crackled on the leaves.

Neo opened his eyes wide as she hugged him, and said such words. Just the feel of her warmth already made him feel different and fuzzy. He then paused before raising his arms, and said "I understand your loss. I've lost much more than what seems like a lot to you. I've lost things that I never even had.... I don't expect you to be perfect. No one is perfect, not demons or angels. I will protect you with my life. One of my reasons for putting effort into protecting you is because you're the perfect image of Angela. My other reason is because you're my only friend. I guess we fight because we care about each other..." then he raised his arms finally, and hugged her back, though feeling kinda weird, since he was so cold, and hadn't gotten a hug in years.
