The Soul Labyrinth

(Can I just skip to the morning?)

(sure, can we say Hinata and Tolkalee were just talking the entire night?)

(Sure)

(Sweet, ‘cause I wanna see Hinata’s reaction to the Knights)

Chris came to Tolkalee. “It’s almost morning now…I think you should go back to your friend” a crow touched Tolkalee’s body and teleported him back in front of the house.

Hinata's eyes fluttered open. She had a good time talking to Tolkalee. She sat up, and picked up her Earl Grey.

Tolkalee pushed himself up, groaning silently. His while chest throbbed and his arm was sensitive, he limped slowly towards the door. Hoping for his sake that Aisen was there, and the others weren't.

The Clock Tower chimed, ringing a new dawn. Matthew knocked on Hinata’s door. “Hello, Good Morning Hinata” he shouted as he walked downstairs to wake the others up.

The front door opened. Aisen yawned slightly and saw Tolkalee. He blinked at Tolkalee a little. “Uh…weren’t you sleeping upstairs…?”

"I was until I was almost slaughtered, and I spent the rest of the night wherever Chris had me," Tolkalee explained, limping past Asien inside. "We need to have a talk with some of the people here."

Here…? Aisen questioned the subtle last word but shook it off. “Do you want coffee or tea? Or would you prefer something else?” Aisen said as he walked to the kitchen counter.

loki slowly sat up and asked where the kitchen was (if there was one)

"Nothing, thank you," he shook his head. Then he looked up the stairs. "Matthew, get your ass down here now!" He called, his voice, sounding more commanding than he'd ever sounded before, rang through the while house.

Matthew heard the call and walked downstairs. He was holding Kohaku in his arms and had Kasai and Kori on his shoulders. “Was that yell really necessary?” He yawned slightly. “Also, what do you need from me?” He asked calmly but tiredly.

(What did i forget?)

"Well, seeing as how you almost killed me last night, I think there should be explaining done," Tolkalee sat down in a chair. "You should probably get the other two since one split last night."

Matthew raised a brow. “I almost killed you? The other two? Another one who split? What are you talking about?” He claimed that as Cassius walked downstairs and Cronos came out of his room on that floor. “What’s going on here so early…?” Cronos asked, scratching his neck and yawning slightly.

Tolkalee glared at him for a moment. "Well, if you're going to be like that." Tolkalee stood up and pulled his shirt off to reveal the many wounds across his core. As well as the many, many scars that were visible as well. "This is something you can't deny exists."

Cassius’ eyes flashed blue caduceuses before Aisen could pay attention to the wounds. The blue caduceuses messed with Aisen’s views by creating an illusion that Tolkalee had no wounds nor any cuts on him. “Uh…I see nothing out of the ordinary…?” Aisen asked Matthew for confirmation. “Yeah, neither do I” Matthew agreed with Aisen.

"You are all bad liars," Tolkalee snapped. He stood up and limped out the door, pulling his shirt back on. "I know some people who will believe me."

Aisen turned to Tolkalee as he left. Cassius’ eyes had blue caduceuses on them, causing an illusion that anyone who looks at Tolkalee will see him as not having any wounds.

Tolkalee was headed back towards the center of the labyrinth. Where he knew that Chris would be able to tell them that Tolkalee had indeed almost been killed.

The Research Building where Chris and Sam was supposed to be in was open. The front door was left open.

Tolkalee noticed the door, and remembered the other enemies they had to watch for. He pulled out his dagger, and crept inside to investigate.

Chris’ coat, mask and hat were gone but Sam’s body was in the building, pierced with a crescent moon blades and clear crystals. He was almost dead.

"Shit," Tolkalee snapped, jumping forward far to fast, but going down on his knees next to Sam. He pulled his satchel open and pulled out several things. One at a time Tolk pulled one of the blades or crystals out and wrapped the wound. He kept going until he had bandaged every wound. Then he sat back wincing at his own injuries. "Please don't die."

Sam’s blood flow was still active, but he was unconscious. The documents on Chris’ desk were scattered on the floor and were a mess.

Tolk grabbed one of the documents next to him and began reading it.

Most of the document were burnt or erased. The only real readable thing was the name on the first page and fighter type on the second page.

"He was researching Cassius. So he did slightly believe me," Tolkalee said to himself. He stood up and began picking up other documents looking at them as well.

The other five documents’ context were the same as Cassius’ but were just for different Knights.
