Harry and Kyle both looked at Addie in wide eyed astonishment at her outburst. Though Kyle hadn’t really known Addie all that long, he had never seen her so angry. Though he could see that she was angry, there was something else in her tone as well. At first, he wasn’t sure exactly what that was. However, soon he realized exactly what that edge in her voice was. 

It was fear. Fear FOR him, for his safety. The attack on him by the Dark Possessed had truly frightened her. Though he had been a bit out of his depth, she had done something to him, he felt a slight change within him while she had chanted while they were in Kaiju, and he knew that he was now better prepared to deal with the Dark Possessed should they cross paths again. 

Harry just stood there and listened to Adeline’s rant. As she berated him over Kyle’s preparation, he soon realized one thing…

He had absolutely know idea what she was talking about. 

Normally, he would not have tolerated such insubordination, however, this was not a normal situation. This girl was speaking of things that he had never heard of. As a man who has spent much of his adult life as a special agent for British intelligence, he tended to dislike being in the dark on something, especially when it had the potential to impact his operations. So, instead of blasting the girl for her lack of decorum, he simply asked her one question.

“The Dark What?” 

"The Dark Possessed, you know?" I say hoping that they really do know because the strange knowledge that pops into my head is all jumbled and mixed up. But I can see on their faces that they do not know and I feel awkward and foolish. "They are pieces of the Dark taking people as vessels to influence the world and spread their evil." I pause for a moment before another piece clicks in my mind. "I, I am supposed to fight against them." It is my duty, wait where did that come from? Since when do I have a duty to fight these shadow creatures? I'm becoming more confused as I try to think, I need sleep but sleep brings the dreams and I can't deal with them. 

"Have you never heard of them?" I ask finally, still hoping that they might know what I am talking about because I still don't quite know.
“I’m sorry my dear, I’ve never heard the expression.” Harry said almost mournfully. 

“Harry, I faced one of these guys tonight and he handed me my ass. If Addie hadn’t shown up when she did…you’d probably be picking up what’s left of me from the city morgue.” Kyle said darkly. Since he had taken the mantle of Lyger, he had been more than a match for anyone that he had come up against. However, whatever this “Dark Possessed” was, it had proven to be more than he can handle. 

“I see.” Harry said dryly. He was rarely at a loss for words, but what Kyle and Addie were talking about sounded decidedly supernatural, and supernatural was something that Harry didn’t exactly believe in, let alone ever faced.

“But she did something to me, something to protect me from the Dark. She did something to allow me to fight it.” Kyle said with optimism in his voice. 

"I gave you wards to hold off possession." I say helpfully as I struggle to explain what I somehow know instinctively. "But wards can't hold them out forever if they are persistent." 

I'm hoping that everything I say is accurate as another thought flickers into my mind and I give voice to it.

 "The blessings on your claws will let you hurt them, but if you aren't careful you will kill the host." 

It isn't like my other blade I realize, maybe I should I have given the other blessing? Other blade? What other blade, I feel my head starting to hurt again.

Kyle and Harry listened to Addie as she explained exactly what she had done to him, and the repercussions that could follow if he misused his newfound weapons carelessly. As she speaks, Kyle watched her, and noticed that something just wasn’t right. She looked as if something were bothering her, as if she wasn’t feeling well.

“Are you alright?” He asked with concern in his voice.
