Chapter 7: The Three

Saint points at the beast, “Look!”
On back of the huge beast is a boy, no older than 12.
He speaks, “You are not allowed here!”
Two more people appear one on each side of the huge beast that is staring at Joshua.
A female on the left and a male on the right.
   They are all wearing long black cloaks similar to Joshua’s. There shirt and pants are black as well with black shoes on.
Saint, “Move aside children,we don’t want to”
Just then Joshua darts into the beasts midsection. They both are flying back, the boy is tossed off. The other two avoid by jumping to the sides.
They crash into a stone wall. Joshua is standing on the beast avoiding his claws, he jumps up and thunders down on it’s throat. It let’s out a screech.
Joshua yells back ,“Fight, you dumb ass, fight!”
Saint is looking at his two opponents. 
The girl pulls her sword from her back, it is a Claymore, the male has a Zhanmedeo, a Chinese broad sword. Instantly they attack Saint.
Saint, “Those are very nice swords, you should be careful.”
He as yet to pull a weapon out. They come charging at him.
When they attack,he flips over them and pushed off of their backs as he kicks them. 
Suddenly the Boy riding the beast appears beside him and uses the momentum to throw him near Joshua and the beast.
Joshua is holding the beasts mouth open as it  roars.
The beast is pushing him back making him dig into the floor.
Joshua yells at Saint, “You should be Fighting, not talking.”
He twists the head of the beast causing it to be on it’s back again. Then he jumps on top of he beast and plunges his fist inside of it’s chest. The beast roars and howls in pain. Joshua twists and pulls then something snaps and he reaches in further an blood splashes up, the beast is motionless.
Saint, “I do not feel honorable defeating children.”
Joshua jumping off the beast looks towards the three as they come towards them.
He speaks to Saint, “How honorable will you feel when those kids kick your ass?”
Saint, “They do seem determined to kill us.”
Joshua, “not us, you. They are toying with you until they are ready to kill you.”
The three appear right in front of them.
The older boy, “He is right, we will kill you, whether you fight or not.”
The younger boy, “Yes it is our destiny, Tristan, Rose and I Eldrich will kill you.”
Joshua, looking at them, he moves in between them and Saint then sweeps the three, and kicks each one before they land. Sends them flying back a couple yards.
Joshua turns to Saint takes his own sword from his hip and hands it to him.
Joshua, “Now fight, I’ll be back in a minute. Just don’t die.”
He starts running off.
Saint, “I knew you cared.”
Joshua, “I just don’t wanna have to  kill Vaan if he comes to avenge your death.”
Saint smiles as Joshua disappears out of sight.
We now see Luscious in a dimly lit hallway, talking to Zykrel.
Luscious to Zykrel, “I do not want anything to interrupt with my ceremony, no surprises.”
Zykrel dressed in his armor, is standing in front of  Luscious his with his hand propped on the handle of his sword and his cloak draped over his shoulders.
Zykrel, “Don’t worry, nothing will trespass on your day.”
Luscious, “Make sure of  that, I am retiring to my chambers for the rest of the night.”
He begins walking off.
Zykrel with his head turned towards him as he exits to his chambers, “Yes sir, I will not fail you.” Scene switches.
Melissa is standing dressed in a two piece out fit that seems to be made of animal hid. She has her satchel on her back and a staff in her hand, that she has standing upright.
Getting closer we see red and black designs on her face. Gerald and Desmond are with her, they seem to be at the area where she first arrived.
Desmond stands in front of her a few feet away.
Desmond, “All will be prepared as you wish Priestess, we will be ready.”
Gerald, “I must thank you, young Priestess. You have brought all the clans together. United again and it shall display it’s power and strength as it were before.”
Melissa, “Are you sure they can be ready? How will you get everyone there?”
Desmond and Gerald look at her silently.
Melissa turning around facing the opposite direction.
She says, “Never mind.”
She walks off .
We see Joshua entering a room, it is dark. The only light is from Joshua’s eyes. He walks strait then stops. Just then the room lights up, to reveal a huge sized room that has a black and silver sphere, resembling a globe in the middle of the room. The is reminiscent of a grand sized library. There are what seems to be hundreds of shelves full of books. There is dust and cob webs all around the room.
Behind him near the entrance to the room is a shadow, Joshua doesn’t seem to notice it. It moves closer to the doorway then exits.
Joshua pauses for a moment.
Just outside the door the shadow is standing against the wall. A whisper sounds, “uncover.”
A figure in a black hooded cloak, resembling Joshua’s stands.
The hood is down far enough to hide his face.
The figure, “Dash.”
Soon as he speaks this he moves in a blurred streak out of sight into the darkness of another hallway.
Joshua still inside the room thinks to himself.
{Thought I heard something, but I know ii felt something. But it’s no longer here. Good this has already been too bothersome.}
He puts his puts his first two fingers of his left hand to his brow.
He speaks, “Exacta Fickar,….search!”
Just then every book and loose paper starts to swarm and circle the entire room around Joshua.
Joshua points into the swirl of books circling him. He calmly says, “found.”
Everything stops. Pointing at a scroll like paper.
He says, “Borrow”
every book and paper that was swirling drops or places it self back on the shelf, save the scroll he pointed out. It floats to his hand. Joshua grabs it and turns around as he walks out he stops while looking down to his right. It is a blue and white, decorated bag. He motions his right hand, it comes to him.
As he puts the scroll inside of it he says to himself,
 “Now it’s time to go.”
 Back to the fight with Saint and the three guardians.
Eldrich is getting hit in the jaw by Saint, sending him flying into a wall. He spits up blood as he drops his sword. Tristan and Rose are standing ready to challenge Saint.
Saint walking closer to The two. He begins to speak.
“You three have been around for quite some time as I see by the blades you wield.”
They look at him without response.
Saint, “Do you want to waste that long life, now?”
Tristan begins to rush Saint. As he does he yells.
“You are going to lose your life!”
Saint steadies himself, then Tristan seems to disappear and reappear behind him. Saint closes his eye.
Rose screams, “No!”
Saint ran him through with his sword, thrusting it behind him at the moment Tristan attacked.
Eldrich yells, “You fucking bastard! You will pay!”
He rises off the floor running towards Saint. He is moving fast enough to go in an out of vision. He appears and  disappears in a zig zag formation. Instantly he is right at Saint with his sword raised.
Saint noticeably angered, grabs the hand holding the sword. He instantly cuts it off and throws him near Tristan.
Suddenly Rose falls to her knees, in tears she starts pleading with Saint.
“Please, No don’t, leave them alone!”
Saint looking at Rose,
 “You ask me to spare them? You were not willing to do the same mere moments ago.”
Tristan is coughing up blood and bleeding heavily from his wound, that he is holding near his midsection.
Tristan, “You don’t understand.”
He struggles to say the words.
“We have to do this. We, we are’
Just then Joshua interrupts them.
Joshua, “They are the Outcaste‘.  The products of a Vampire and Warlock love affair that caused a war that lasted for centuries.”
Saint putting away his sword he curiously asks,
“You are saying these children are.”
Eldrich finishes his words. “Vampire and Warlock hybrids.”
Just then the group is interrupted by Jonathon Vaan in rushing with Daniels and Stevens closely behind him.
Rose turns to see all three men coming strait for her, she closes her eye as if preparing for the attack. She slowly opens her eyes surprised she still exists.
 Vaan and the others are floating in front of her. Joshua has is left hand pointed towards them.
Joshua, “You should think before you act. Did we look in danger to you?”
Tristan and the others look at Joshua in awe.
Eldrich says, “You, you use magic? Then that cloak you wear is truly  yours isn’t it?”
Joshua says nothing, just looks at them. Saint walks over.
Saint, “You said they were the Outcaste‘, what do you mean?”
Rose, “We are damned to forever protect this place. We are summoned any time a being that isn’t of magic enters.”
Eldrich adds, “Yes, but only those of a certain House can use magic within these walls.”
Daniels still floating with the others,
“So your trapped here, well anyway to release you ?”
Stevens, “Yeah speaking of release, do you mind?” He looks at Joshua, Joshua lowers his hand. They drift down to the floor.

Tristan still coughing, “There is one way but we are cursed to not speak it. So we must fight. Forever.”
Joshua, “No not forever”
He walks over to Rose. He reaches in the bag he has and pulls out a gold stemmed ruby rose. Everyone looks at it shine and twinkle, it also has diamond water drops on it’s pedals.
Rose takes it with that Joshua says to her, “hand it to your brothers.”
She walks over and kneels in front of her brothers. They reach for the Rose, as all three touch it at the same time, a swirl of purple light spins around them then soars into the ceiling disappearing. They are all healed and standing.
Vaan, “What just happened?”
Joshua answers, “That Rose was the release ornament. Seems like someone was going to free them, but they didn’t make it.”
Rose, “I can see clearly now, Leo-kin? That is you!”
Eldrich and Tristan look and begin to smile.
Eldrich, “Yes , yes it is! thank you, thank you.”
Tristan, “We are forever your trusted and faithful disciples Leo-Kin!”
The boys  bow while Rose curtsies.
Joshua calmly, “Don’t mention it.”
He walks off towards a doorway.
Saint, “Hmmm. He knew all this before we came. I think he wanted us to come  ahead for this very reason. If we all came the confusion may have cost the poor cursed children there lives. Full of surprises dark one.”
He salutes the children with two fingers nonchalantly, then walks in Joshua’s direction.
Daniels and Stevens just look at the three.
Daniels at Rose, “Sorry we tried to kill you.”
They walk over to Saint and Joshua.
Vaan walking behind Daniels and Stevens,
“What if they join up with the other vampires?”
Eldrich over hearing, “We are on the side of Leo-Kin.”
Saint looking at Joshua, “There you have it. Their on the side of Leo-Kin.”
Joshua, “You coming or not.”
he walks thru the doorway leaving Saint standing there.
Saint, “We shall take it from here chaps, Vaan keep training.”
Vaan, “Yes Master, I shall.”
Stevens, “Try to work on that luck of yours.”
Saint laughs, “I will, I will.”
Daniels, “See you later Sir.”
Saint follows Joshua through the doorway.
The brothers look at the three and they all have obvious expressions of awkwardness.
Daniels, “We’ll just leave you three at it then.”
 Saint emerges from the doorway in what appears to be an alley on the street level.
Joshua whom was already outside. speaks to him, “We can do this up there.”
He is looking up at a ragged sky scraper, many stories high, Saint is looking at the building also. Then Joshua jumps up the side of the building. Each jump clearing stories at a time. Saint shakes his head.
