The Soul Labyrinth

(XD)

Cassius grabbed the mask and observed it. “Dragoon mask…? I think I know who this is…” he turned to Hinata, placing the mask back on the table. “Noah Dominic, host of Dragon’s Den…though he probably got into your mind thanks to another Knight of his generation, Philip Ranger, the host of Death’s Whisper” Cassius explained.

Hinata nodded.
"Well, all I need to know is if it's okay for me to feck them up."

“I think the people you need to take out are neither of them…because they’re both already dead…though someone must have used their abilities to get into your head, question is who…” Cassius thought out loud.

Hinata nodded. She sat on the table, and the mask in her pocket (from the first soul she encountered) fell out.

Cassius looked at the mask. “Where did you get that?” He asked while focusing on the mask.

Hinata bent down to pick it up.
"It was the mask of the first soul I encountered here. A Knight did this. It didn't give me the best first impression…"

Tolkalee sat next to Sam. His breathing had gotten shallower. "Hurry up Chris," he muttered to himself. By the sound of Sam's breathing a lung had been punctured. Which meant it was probably filling with blood.

“Heh…Time Limit I would guess” he said as he looked at the table and slightly sat on it.

A figure walked into the Research Building and saw Tolkalee with Sam. “You there. Need help with that guy?” He called to Tolkalee while gesturing at Sam.

Hinata shrugged.
"At the time, I felt it was the right thing to do, picking up the mask."

Cassius nodded.
“Well, do you need anything else from me?” He asked while walking around.

"Not anything I can think of." Hinata stood up and walked over to the wall. With a piece of chalk, she drew a door.
"You can leave through here. It's the easiest way."

Tolkalee looked up at the figure. "If you can use healing magic that would be fantastic," he said glancing at Sam.

The figure walked closer to Sam, summoning a staff that looked almost the same as Cassius’. The figure’s eyes flashed caduceuses like Cassius. They touched Sam’s body as a golden aura got into his body. “Blood in the lungs, cuts on the back, passed the heart and kidneys were pierced” when he finished saying that he ripped the aura back into his staff, pulling out unnecessary blood that was flooding his lungs. The cuts slowly regenerated and Sam’s pulse returned to normal.

"Thank you," Tolkalee sighed. He looked up at the Knight. "Name's Tolkalee Sylali, Healer of Rothe."

The figure’s staff disappeared. “The name’s Clark West, original host of Anatomy Puppeteer”

Hinata woke up. She looked at Matthew.
"This could be interesting."

Matthew was drinking water. “What is…?” He asked while Chris walked to Cassius. “Can you come with me?” He asked Cassius to which he agreed and stood up, walking out the door with Chris.

"We have no idea who the hell hacked my mind."

Matthew spit the water on Cronos. “Great news…” Cronos said as he wiped himself.

Hinata stifled a giggle.
"Well, it's a new sensation for me, so I have no idea what to do."

Kohaku came down from the stairs, jumped up and snuggled with Hinata’s neck. Kasai and Kori came down soon after and sat on Matthew’s shoulders. He then gave the foxes some treats.

Hinata pet Kohaku, still a huge cat fan.

Kohaku seemed to be pleased with himself as Hinata petted him.

Hinata looked to Matthew and Cronos.
"So, what should we do now?"

“Well, there’s no use stay in one place is there?” Matthew asked himself. “Let’s go somewhere else, at least we can have a fight or two with the remaining hunters and Corrupted Knights” he said as he opened the front door.

Hinata stood up to follow.
"Perhaps we could stay the next night at my parents' house."

“Well, you could. We might need to be here as mentioned before, we have to continue with our Paladin’s Mission” Matthew mentioned as he walked out, following him were Kasai, Kori and Cronos.

Hinata followed last.
"I see." She said.
