Erin completely froze, he didn't know what to do or what he should say in his current situation. A part of Erin wanted scream at the top of his lungs, but Erin didn't want to embarrass himself in front of Tatsuki, who was completely calm.
Another part of himself wanted to warn Emma and Riku, but Erin knew better to think they would actually listen to him.
Tatsuki held Erin and continued to smile, while Erin's body was still shivered. "It's okay. He won't hurt us."
"You think we won't?!" yelled Riku.
"Do you think are stronger than us?!" Emma added.
Tatsuki giggled while they shook they're head. "I wasn't inferring to you two, I was inferring to the tall fellow behind you."
"HA! You think we'll fall for that?!" Emma yelled, while Riku turned around
Tatsuki continued to smile before they leaned out they're hand. The two boys glared down at Tatsuki's hand before they shivered as they a pale white hand on top of Tatsuki's. The boys turned themselves as they were greeted with the creature.
The creature was very length, it was taller than any man or woman. The creature wore dirty old rags and peices of rusted Valkyrien armor. It's slender fingers slid onto Tatsuki's palm, while it grinned wildly at the two frightened boys. Emma and Riku were utterly speechless, as their bodies refused to move instead quiver underneath the creature.
Erin hid behind Tatsuki and stared at the creature, while he held onto Tatsuki's hand with an tight grip. "Erin, I'll like you to meet Mr. Ying."
"Hi..." Erin stuttered as Mr. Ying grinned.
"Ying? As in Po Ying...?" Riku trembled as he held onto Emma's arm.
"Who's that?" Emma whispered to Riku with a wavering voice.
"He is..." Riku stuttered before Tatsuki cut him off.
"Po Ying is a old legend in Valkyrien history. The drowning solider, first king of Valkyrien, ruler of war and battle and many other titles." Tatsuki smirked.
"Oh stop~ you're making me embarrass~" Mr. Ying cooed.
All four children shivered from the sound of Mr. Ying's voice. Tatsuki immediately composes themself as Tatsuki return they're hand to they're side. Then Mr. Ying creeped both his hands on Emma's and Riku's shoulder.
"So boys~ tell me~ what specifically were you planning to do with my vessel and they're new friend." Mr. Ying said with a voice that was both soothing and spine chilling.
Emma bite his lips shut while Riku sniffed into Emma's shoulder. Their bodies were frozen in place. Meanwhile, Tatsuki tried to hold back they're laughter, as Erin held onto Tatsuki and buried his face into Tatsuki's chest.
"I'm scared..." Erin whimpered.
Tatsuki gently petted Erin head before they said to Mr. Ying. "Keep them alive, I don't want me or Erin have any connections with murder."
"Very well then~ that is what I agree too." Mr. Ying spoke before he clicked his fingers and vanished with Emma and Riku.
"Where did they go?" Erin said as he continued to hold onto Tatsuki's hand.
"They'll come back later. Don't worry, everything will be alright. So let's go back Erin, what do you say?" Tatsuki said with another sweet and innocent smile.
Erin gulped before he nodded and muttered under his breath. "I wish I was strong as you..."
