บท 101: Retreat

Like any other day Eru went about his day but weirdly so his heart kept pounding loudly. Eru placed a hand on his chest with a loud sigh.

"What is it?" a soft voice whispered next to his ear.

"I'm worried. I don't know... it's this unsettling feeling lingering within me... Rebus, can I not train today?"

Rebus gently caressed his head. "Okay don't stress yourself."

"I won't," Eru leaned his head onto his shoulders. He smilingly glanced out the window.

Suddenly a small shadow in room started to morph weirdly. "umm Rebus... something is moving...." he pointed to the small shadow.

Rebus's frown deepened. "Shadow guards!"

"Why are they here? I mean, I thought it was just us," Eru mumbled with a frown as well. His father took back all of his guards and send him here so he was really surprised to see them.

The small shadow turned into a huge one, and a man crawled out. Blood dripped all over from his severed hand.
