The Soul Labyrinth

Hinata looked around, trying to figure out where Tolkalee was.

"Well reason number one was already taken care of. But reason number two regardes Seth. I want to bring him home, and he wants to come home," Tolkalee explained.

“You want me to purify him…is that right?”

"Yes sir," Tolkalee replied. "I disagree with bringing people back from the dead, but I'm not leaving him here either."

Cassius sighed, summoning his staff. He looked up at Seth. He tapped his staff on Seth’s shoulder as golden and green aura were sent into his body. Cassius closed his eyes, only to open them again to reveal golden caduceuses. He lifted the staff slightly as the aura returned to the staff along with some black dust like substance. He grabbed Seth’s mask and turned it back into its original form; a name tag. He handed it to Seth. “You might need to ask Edge about which Portal to go through…” as Cassius said that, Seth started regaining his physical body.

Seth gave him a look of gratitude. "Thank you," he said. Then he walked close to Cassius. "Try not to kill Tolkalee please. I would like him back alive, I have to punch him at some point," he whispered.

Cassius smiled back at Seth as the caduceuses in his eyes disappeared. “I can guarantee that. Though please remind him to not mess with our Paladin’s Mission, that’s gonna get him killed at some point” he whispered back to Seth.

"Sorry," he glanced back at Tolk who was helping Sam to his feet. "You can't really blame him though. If you knew his past life, you'd understand that he has very serious trust issues. That's one of the main reasons he wants to bring me back. I am one of the very few people he completely trusts."

Cassius smirked. “Lucky you…well, if you wanna go home Edge can help you. He should be in the Royal Building on the third floor” he said to Seth.

He glanced back again. "Would there be any way for me to get back here without dying, to get him?" he jerked a thumb at Tolkalee.

“I was waiting for someone to ask that…” Cassius began. “In the living realm, some of the Knights can be found. You can come back here with them. Of course they won’t be in their whole attire, to notice them look at their hand. There will be this symbol…” Cassius showed Seth his hand which had a navy blue and golden dual swords symbol.

"Would they be on my planet? And if not where on earth should I look for them?" he asked examining the symbol taking in every detail.

“All the Knights will be scattered, so in all likelihood at least one Knight must be on your planet” Cassius explained.

"Thanks, do me a favor, and try to keep him alive, until I get back at least. Then I'll worry about keeping him from doing stupid things," Seth walked over to Tolkalee, said something to him, and jogged out of the building.

Cassius glanced over to Sam. “So, feeling better?” He asked the recently conscious Sam. “Better? I have had worse and you know it…” Sam breathed heavily.

Tolkalee stood next to him to help keep him from falling over. "Can you tell us what happened?" he asked.

Sam grunted slightly. “Amatsuki came in with the other space ability dude…uh…” he stopped there, thinking of the name of the other person who came in. “Nis?” Chris wanted to confirm. “Yeah yeah…the guy with the Eclipse ability” Sam claimed.

Tolkalee looked around at the people in the room. "Is this a bad thing? Or a really bad thing?" he asked.

Chris sighed. “Amatsuki is my teacher and Nis is like his not blood related brother, so I hate to tell you but they’re both ridiculously strong…” he claimed. “Amatsuki was the guy who took out Faith in the Celestial Hall” Cassius told Tolkalee. “So yeah, this is a really…really bad thing”

"Great…" Tolkalee sighed. "Is there anything I should know about them?"

The Knights thought about it for a moment. “Other the fact that they’re both capable of fighting in melee, ranged and magic, I don’t think there’s anything else…well, anything else that can be said at least” Chris told Tolkalee.

"If you were to scale their melee abilities from 1-10 10 being the highest, where would they be?" he asked.

“Amatsuki would be around 8, Nis would be a…9.5…?” Chris claimed. “When Nis fights, openings are the rarest things you can find”
“To explain Nis easily, he’s Connor and Forest combined and added to that are Luna’s agility and Arthur’s defense…” Cassius added.

"Well on a melee stand point we would have a chance, on a ranged stand point we would be okay? But as for magic, I'm not very good against it, and the only thing I can do is manipulate time. That is where you all would have to come in," he looked pointedly at Chris. "Which side would you be on? Or would you rather not take a side?"

Chris sighed. “I would rather not be enemies with my friends nor my teachers” he decided.

"That's fine, I completely understand that," Tolkalee nodded. "So, what about the rest of you?"

Cassius grinned. “I’m not against you nor am I on your side, though maybe in this situation we’re on the same side” he said to Tolkalee. “Same situation for me…” Sam stood up straight on his own. Chris looked at them and smiled behind his mask.

Tolkalee gave a small smile. "Right, so it's morning and that means people are on the move, so we should stay on the move as well. First I say we go get Matthew, Cronos, Hinata, and Loki."

Cassius smiled. “And Aisen…” he added to the end as he walked outside the building to have a bullet pierce his shoulder. He immediately jumped backwards.

"Well, speak of the devils themselves," Tolkalee pulled out his dagger, the only weapon he had on him at the moment. His bow and quiver were still in his room from the previous night. He ran forward grabbed Cassius and pulled him away from the door. "I suggest getting down to reduce the risk of getting shot," he called to everyone else.
