Magma blushes and kisses Matthew "I am sorry... I cant help but be
scared after something so bad happened to me... I know you have
been threw worse though..." Magma flinches a bit just saying that
last part hoping for him not to snap even a little.
''i know... but the spirit was kind enough to leave your body
before i fed you the bread...... your still here and have your
memory..... your safety is all i care about magma, i love you
dearly my love..'' he murmured, returning the kiss happily.
Magma goes to smile but then flinches even worse and stops herself
"I think it will take me some time before... before I can calm down
and go back being my old self... it just opened my eyes wider then
I would have liked..." Magma hugs Matthew very tightly.
matthew sat her down on the bed and sighed, stroking her head
gently while smiling.
''you know i'll be here to protect you... i always have..... i'm
your guardian angel in a demons body, and your husband... i love
you magma, from the bottom of my heart......'' he murmured, gently
kissing her on the forehead.
Magma sighs "It will still take a bit... I need time to calm down
and relax but... I am scared... very scared..." Magma begins to cry
and closes her eyes to sleep.
The next morning.
Magma had gotten up earily and was talking to skipper trying to
train herself to calm down again. Every time she starts to worry
about something pointless or not important at the moment, Skipper
dumps some ice cold water on her. She is soaked.
Skipper looks nervous ~Matthew is gonna KILL me for this... because
he wont snap at Magma. He loves her to much to punish her...~
Skipper shakes a bit.
Mystic waits outside Matthew's door almost like a stalker.
Aura opened up the detective agency earily but only to start
getting info needed on the case given to them yesterday.
matthew opened the room's door and yawned, scratching his head
before looking at mystic with an eyebrow raised, not seeming to
really care that he was only wearing a pair of jeans and socks with
no t-shirt or tank top, which also showed the many scar's that
covered his body.
''can i help you miss troublemaker....?'' he asked groggily, still
being a bit tired since he woke up not that long ago.
Mystic huffs "Dont call me that. I am not the trouble maker around
here. That would be Aura. Anyway, I came to ask for a favor."
Mystic grabs out a strange book she has. She hands it to Matthew
"If you ever see strike, kill him." Mystic looks serious and walks
away now.
matthew blinked and looked at the book, then brought sol out of his
pokeball and let him appear on his shoulder.
''hey sol, do you know anyone by the name of strike....?'' he
asked, checking the book out in case of any curses or spells.
The book is clear of curses but appears to be a written history of
what Mystic and Aura know about Strike.
Sol looks at Matthew "Tini. dratini. (Nope. never heard of her.)"
Sol yawns still a bit tired.
Sol huffs "Dratini. Tiniiii. (The name strike sounds like a girl.
Oviously.)".
Mystic walks past them "Strike is a guy. not a girl." she walks
into her room near by and grabs something before rushing out.
Sol blushes and his face makes him look like he is a shiny for a
moment "Tini... (Embarrassing...)".
''yeah i know that mystic! sol just thought the person was a girl,
that's all'' matthew said, then turned to the book and opened it to
the first page, then began to read it before walking back into the
room and closed the door behind him, then sat down on the sofa.
The first page shows a rough drawing of a guy who looks to be a bit
shorter then Matthew with black hair and red eyes. He is skinny and
wears black cloths. In the page it speaks of him having great
strength when in pure darkness. From the sounds of it he could
rival Matthew in strength alone. As the book gets deeper it speaks
of him sealing the 'hearts' of lands to make the land go into pure
darkness. There is a couple of pictures of him when he is in that
pure darkness. his eyes seem to glow. It speaks more and more about
his strength and the struggle the girls have trying to free the
hearts and send him away.
''tch... this little twerp hardly looks like he could lift up a few
ton weight's with one hand.. let alone be almost as strong as me,
plus hell is nothing but an evil place full of darkness and
misery..... and i knew how that pain felt first hand.. i'm the son
of lucifer and my grandfather is satan himself who is still the
highest ranking demon of them all... i'm able to sense trouble and
break easy to break spells or curses, or deal with one's that have
a process calmly.. this scrawny little twerp will be rather easy to
destroy...... but i better get some well earned pay after this
cause i took yesterday off, and i have to go to work later before
it's close to night fall..'' he grumbled, complaining quietly to
himself while returning sol to his pokeball.
Someone appears behind Matthew. it is Strike but he seems very
weak. It is strange since he has no sort of evil or dark vibe to
him. Strike looks in pain "I would never... think I was...
stronger... plus I surely... wont let you... kill me..." Strike
seems calm and stores a bit of a strange unsensible power. He is
only a foot shorter then Matthew and is a pretty normal looking guy
other then his red eyes "I was born... in darkness... I am not...
evil or dark... myself...".
matthew looked over his shadow and blinked, but sighed and got up
as he closed the book.
''how come your weak.... your obviously injured.. and i can't sense
anything off about you so chill..... anyway... i'm still going to
put restraints on you as a precaution..'' he muttered, not even
snapping his fingers or anything as obsidian restraints formed
around his hands.
Strike smiles slightly "I would expect... no less... I am always...
this weak... without... pure darkness... I only... grow weaker... a
curse... I am forever... stuck with... no cure... for it... it is
just... in my blood... you must understand... right...?" Strike
sits down and a dark shadow of energy appears over him. it works
like a pure darkness cloud over him. He sighs "Much better." Strike
seems more relaxed now and even much stronger. it is clear he has
yet to show his full power.
''now, questions.... what's this about you sealing hearts away...
cause that doesn't exactly seem very well described in the book i
was given, so i want some answers before i resort to my father's
method of torturing.. and trust me, i won't show mercy
afterwards....'' he muttered, baring his teeth as his crimson eye's
lit up a tiny bit.
Strike nods "Fair enuff. First off the 'hearts' is just a thing I
say when I mean someone who is like the heart of the land. It is
normally a leader of a land but if there is more then one leader
the title and power goes to the one who bests shows in the way they
act what the land is about. if there is no leader it goes to
whoever best shows off what the land is all about. The sealing of
hearts is just when I put a shadowy seal around them, basically
freezing them in time, and there for casting shadows all over the
land. Normally it ends when I leave the land,the heart is unsealed
by someone else, or I manually unseal it myself. it can last for up
to 20 years with me staying in the land however. That is all it
is." Strike does not seem scared of Matthew what so ever.
''i swear if you do that here i'll strangle you til you release
your little spell.... that i promise to keep.. so don't even try
anything.......'' he growled.
