Natrelmon: Forge of Souls

2Spooky:

Kito had retired to his room after Amelia had left, though he got no sleep, as was the usual for him now. The morning light stung his eyes, though he endured the pain, looking down at the ring on his finger. Shaking his head, he made his way back to the lobby, finding no signs of Amelia. He recalled what she had offered last night, to train together, and he had to admit, it wasn't a bad idea. In fact, it might be exactly what Elwis needed to settle down again, to mend the bond he and Amelia once had all those years ago. Chuckling to himself, he headed out into the city, recalling that Amelia was going to be at the library. He wouldn't be surprised if she had passed out there, a library was like her second home. His mind wandered back to the Natrelmon from the previous night, it's body was hidden from view, and it's eyes were nearly invisible as well. If it hadn't been for the growl and blinking, he likely wouldn't have noticed it until it attacked him. Once he found Amelia, he was going to go back into the forest with her in search of that creature, something didn't feel right to him about it. While lost in his thoughts, he didn't notice both gems on the ring glowing, causing the ring to slowly increase in temperature. Eventually both Elwis and Sakura-re emerged, the ring now cooling as Kito's attention was drawn to the pair. "Hey! What are you two doing? Cut it out already!" he shouted, seeing the two exchanging blows.

Elwis avoided Sakura-re's swing, countering with one of his own, sending the creature stumbling. "Elwis! Enough! What's gotten into you?!" Kito shouted, stepping between the fallen Sakura-re and Elwis. With a shriek, Elwis swung at him, landing a cut on Kito's arm while he protected himself. As he lowered his arm, he saw his Natrelmon take off down the street, shrieking once again. Looking at Sakura-re, he sighed, "Looks like Elwis has gone mad...I might need you to help me subdue him." he said. The Natrelmon bowed slightly forward once it stood, as if to say she understood him. Returning back to her relic, Kito took off after Elwis, following the shrieking noise. Eventually he came upon a building, stopping dead in his tracks, the appearance of the building disturbed him. Backing up slowly, he realized what the structure was, "A morgue? Is this why Elwis went nuts?" Kito asked himself. Before he could find out, a black beam shot from the doorway, causing Kito to throw himself to the ground to avoid it. Looking up, he saw Elwis, who shrieked and vanished inside. "ELWIS!" he shouted, getting to his feet. He stood there, his head dropping, hands balled into fists. "Why...? Why, Elwis? Why are you acting this way? Don't you recognize me anymore...?" he asked quietly. Sakura-re appeared again, gurgling alongside him, trying to offer him some comfort.

Natrelmon: Forge of Souls

Kito went somber upon hearing about her father's death, he could relate to her, he lost both his parents as well. He shifted his focus from the current topic, to the new one, "I'm sure you'll find a couple good books on breeding here. Even if you don't, I'm sure there are a couple breeding farms with breeders that could help us both." he replied. Elwis still refused to forgive Amelia, instead, deciding to return back to it's relic. He sighed, looking at his ring, "Looks like it'll take time for him to trust you again. I remember when he was an Olena, he was never far from you, it was adorable. But when he evolved...he changed. And not just by appearance, his attitude changed as well. I don't know if this is common for a Natrelmon like him, or if it's something else. I wish I knew how to help him." he told her. "I suppose things have been well for me, aside from Elwis' behavior. I managed to find a Sakura not long after you returned home, and ever since I battled her, I decided on becoming a trainer. I spent the last three years learning what it means to be a trainer, hence why I'm here in Toran, I intend to challenge the Arena leader. But before that, I want to find out something. I was approached in the forest not long ago by a Natrelmon, it didn't attack me, more like it tried to scare me off. I was wondering, have you ever heard of a Natrelmon like that?" he asked.

Natrelmon: Forge of Souls

Almost as soon as he sat down, he heard his name shouted, startling him. As a reaction to him being startled, the black gem glowed, Elwis materializing behind Amelia. As it prepared to protect Kito, a voice was heard, "It's alright Elwis, it's only Amelia, you remember her." he said, once free of the suffocating and unexpected hug. Elwis floated to the side, getting a better look at the woman. He backed away when he recognized her, though he kept his eyes on her, clearly not trusting her fully. After hugging her back, Kito stood, "Don't mind Elwis, I don't think he ever got over you leaving Sakura. I think he might still be a little upset with you." he told her. The attendant called his name and he went to retrieve his key, "So, Amelia, how have things been since we last saw each other? Keeping up with your breeding studies, I hope?" he asked, his guard dropping. It was funny, moments ago he had wanted to know how Amelia was doing, and here she was, obviously looking well. Catching up on the last three years would be great, at least, he thought so. He knew Ward had been the focus of the war, in fact, everyone knew that. He hadn't expected Amelia to ever return back to Ward, being under the impression that it would likely be reduced to rubble. When he learned she would be returning home, it was obvious to him that Ward was completely fine, at least structurally. "How have Ward's people been? I hear they're still rebuilding their relationships with the other cities, I imagine it's difficult." he said, turning to her as Elwis moved behind him.

Kito watched as Ritoi departed, recalling the words he had spoken as he carefully picked up the tooth left in his possession, ancient evil as old as the Natrelmon themselves were at work. He was surprised to find the tooth was still quite warm, despite being in the cool air for awhile. Slipping the tooth into his pocket with due diligence, he replaced the glasses back on his face, looking towards the town again. Protect those weaker than I...a mission given to me by Ritoi. Don't worry, I'll do just that, I swear. he thought, finally starting to make his way to town. He played over what had happened in the clearing again, he still couldn't believe he had met Ritoi, it seemed almost as if he had dreamed the entire thing. Clutching the tooth in his pocket again, it convinced him it hadn't been a dream at all, that it had actually happened. He was now an ally of Ritoi's, that was clear right now. In the future though, who knows what would happen? Shaking his head, Kito pushed the negative thoughts aside and headed for the treeline out of the forest, only to stop when he heard a growl. Turning slowly, he saw a pair of eyes in the darkness leering at him, the growling becoming more a threat now. Judging from the fact he couldn't see the body, he figured it was a dark-type Natrelmon, which meant Sakura-re would likely be optimal for fighting with. However, Sakrua-re was still weak from her last battle, and Kito knew this. The Natrelmon, however, made no attempt to attack him. It seemed as if it was warning him to leave and never return, which seemed like odd behavior to him, though for now he'd leave and return when it was light out. This creature intrigued him, and he wasn't about to let it scare him off so easily.

Backing up slowly, he left the forest, the pair of eyes watching him as he returned to Toran, unable to figure out why it didn't attack him when it had the chance. Deciding it was getting too late for him to try and figure it out, he figured he'd try and make sense of it in the morning. He made his way through the streets, past the Red Nakumo restaurant, stopping for a few moments to observe a pair of trainers and their Natrelmon. He could tell the two knew each other by the way they spoke to one another, it made him recall an old friend of his from the past, Amelia. He wondered what happened to her since she returned back home to Ward, did she ever continue her breeding studies like he had suggested? Sighing, he continued on his way, locating the hotel he had stopped at when Sakura-re appeared. This time things were quiet, he saw no sign of any of his Natrelmon. With that, he opened the door to the hotel, immediately spotting a couple people at the desk already. He noticed one was barefoot, which he found to be somewhat odd. Making his way to the desk, he leaned on it, "A room please." he asked the attendant, whom seemed to be busy trying to get the others in order. "Right, just call me when you're ready. Name's Kito." he told the attendant before taking a seat to wait.

Natrelmon: Forge of Souls

When Kito first heard Ritoi's voice in his mind, it felt like he was being torn in a billion different directions all at the same time. The pain was excruciating, so much that he was forced to his knees, his glasses falling from his hand. However, the pain subsided, and Kito was able to hear Ritoi's powerful voice as he spoke. Slowly getting to his feet, glasses in hand once again, he listened to what he said. He smiled a little when Sakura-re was praised, though it faded when Ritoi's tone became more serious, mentioning there were dark things afoot. For Ritoi to come here and ensure the safety of the town and it's people, it had to be quite serious. The way he responded towards his concerns only reaffirmed the story he was told about the magnificent creature, humans stood no chance at ever capturing it. Kito turned his head back towards the city, staring at it as Ritoi spoke again. He didn't want the city riled up either, it wouldn't be good for anyone, along with Ritoi's point about it being difficult to do his job if word got out. It didn't matter if he was threatened, Kito had no intention of revealing the presence of a highly sought Natrelmon to anyone. Besides, it wasn't like he had many people to talk to as it stood, "Don't worry, Ritoi, I have no intention of telling anyone you're around." he replied. Turning his head back to the beast, he spoke again, "You said there were things humans have become ignorant to. Is it possible to see these things you speak of, and if so, would it be possible for me to learn to see these things? If the world is threatened, then it's up to both Natrelmon and their trainers to try and stop this thing. I may not know who the enemy is, Ritoi, but I do know I want to help protect this world." he said, his voice and tone sincere.

Natrelmon: Forge of Souls

Kito was mere steps from the front door of the hotel he decided to stay at, when he noticed the purple gem in his ring glow, Sakura-re appearing before him. "Sakura-re? I didn't call you, why are you here?" he asked, clearly confused. She turned in the direction of the forest, letting out a cry of her own. Turning his head towards the forest, he saw nothing at first, but he suddenly felt something call to him. "Something's out there, isn't it?" he asked her, placing a hand on one of her branches. Knowing how in tune with nature the Natrelmon was, he was sure there was something out there that concerned her, especially if she emerged from her relic so suddenly. "Alright, Sakura-re, let's go find out what has you so concerned." he said, the gem glowing once again. He made the trek back towards the forest, stopping to adjust his ring, turning it so the hidden small black gem was visible. If whatever it was wanted to fight, he would use his strongest Natrelmon, Elwis. Stepping into the forest, he expected it to be dark like before, but it appeared to be the opposite. Coming to the conclusion that whatever had caught Sakura-re's attention, was also producing this light, he decided to follow it to it's source. As he walked, he noticed there were no signs of other Natrelmon around, it appeared they were intentionally avoiding the clearing that was ahead. Kito knew that whatever was in the clearing, was powerful, and it likely would be able to obliterate both himself and any of his Natrelmon. No turning back now... he thought to himself, taking a deep breath.

As he crossed the threshold that was the treeline, he was met with blinding light. His glasses did nothing to reduce the brightness, but eventually his eyes became accustomed to the light, and what he saw before him was something impossible. As a boy his parents told him stories of Natrelmon so rare, that they were believed to be myth, and many people didn't believe they existed. He grew up fascinated with one particular tale, the tale of Ritoi. He grew up believing the tale was just that, a story meant to entertain children, there was no way Ritoi was real. Yet here it was, standing right in front of him, as a living, breathing Natrelmon. Kito could do nothing but gape at Ritoi, having lost all sense upon seeing it. The thought to capture it never crossed his mind, not something that was meant to be free. Slowly regaining his senses, he lifted a hand, removing his glasses to reveal the unusual eye colors he had. His left was yellow, the right, purple. He took a step forward, presenting himself, "You must have been the one who caught Sakura-re's attention, and I can understand why now. But, why are you here, Ritoi? Why risk being seen by greedy people who would attempt to catch you?" he asked, his curiosity getting the better of him. Unknown to him, he was being watched from a distance, the shadows hiding the observer.
