Prologue [part 2]

          Kyn on the other hand stood as tall as any normal teenager. His blonde hair that covered the strange ‘V’ mark on his forehead and his thin fur on his body made him a creature of a fused cat and human. He glanced to East. The army had equal number like the other side, only they were wearing red armours.

The harsh dry air from the canyon really cold and cruel, giving Kyn a chilblain. He swallowed thick saliva, as sweats trickled down his neck. Kyn gritted his teeth, before he burst to a yell.

“WHATEVER IT IS, I’LL STOP IT!”

Kyn straighten up and he was ready to charge downhill, but stumbled when a voice suddenly shouted his name from behind.

“KYN, WAIT!!!”

Kyn was startled. He twisted his upper body around to see that Sir Aaron was standing, panting and gasping for air. Well, he ‘saw’ that in his aura. Sir Aaron wore a black cape over his shoulder, and a pair of gloves along with a leather hat that covered half of his face. Unlike Kyn, Sir Aaron was a real human. At that moment, Kyn immediately knelt down, lowering his head from looking at Sir Aaron.

He noticed that Sir Aaron always had his staff with him. A long, wooden-made staff that had a large and nice cut diamond embeds at the end of it. Sir Aaron also looked pale than his usual.

“M-master, where have you been?”

“Kyn, please stand up. I am not your master.”

He tried to throw a friendly smile to Kyn, but his mien was obviously showed that he was greatly worried about something.

“What happened to your eyes?” Sir Aaron asked.

“Don’t worry about me, master.”

“Are you planning to stop the war?” Sir Aaron added. There was a feeling of malaise at the edge of his voice

.
“Yes.” Kyn briefly replied.

“And how do you plan to do that? You will never make it.”

“I… um…” Kyn knew that what Sir Aaron had said was true.

‘I’ll give everything that I have!” Kyn replied, as every second he wasted waiting had evoked the sense of fear and wary about the war. Sir Aaron looked discontent. He knew even with the King’s order with Kyn, he won’t be able to stop the war. He nodded and gave his last smile to Kyn before he pirouetted and took off downhill, towards the red army. His shadow that covered Kyn suddenly disappeared in a flash. Normally Sir Aaron would never left Kyn that way, but this time had made Kyn completely flummoxed and worried. He boggled for a while, before he regained complete conscious again.

          “M-master, wait!” Kyn frantically straighten up, before he made a high jump at the cliff where Sir Aaron had went. There, he saw his master swiftly running down the hill like a shooting star plummeting down the earth. Kyn sensed something was wrong. The unique blue aura possessed by his master slowly seemed to fade. Just like Kyn, Sir Aaron had the same ability to see through aura within people. In fact, he was the one who had taught Kyn. Somehow at a point, Kyn was able to gather all his might and scurried towards Sir Aaron.

        Even with his power, Kyn had trouble to go after Sir Aaron. He saw the blue aura of his master suddenly stopped and glowed brighter, which made Kyn came to a halt as well. He sensed further that Sir Aaron raised his staff, before stretching his arm backward, took aim and threw his staff. It landed and spiked directly at the edge of Kyn’s right foot.
