The Soul Labyrinth

Matthew lead the way and walked with them back to the hall.

Lachlan, also left, but went a different way. He met another masked figure. Without hesitation the figure fired something at Lachlan’s head, ending him immediately.

(Should I feel bad that I'm not upset with Lachlan dying?)

(Nope, he deserved it lol)

Terry shook his head at Hinata's offer. "I'll survive." He looked back at Tolkalee once more. He stood in the middle of the clearing holding an arrow, not drawn back on his bow.

(So, was he actually a dush, or did Hinata just encounter him at a bad time?)

Hinata nodded, following Matthew.

(I would say both…I didn’t get to focus on him much but he’s pretty cruel)

(Me= very happy he is dead)

As soon as they were out of sight Terry's limp was gone, and a smile spread across his face. "That worked way better than I thought it would.

Tolkalee turned to the group behind him. "That enough proof for you?" He then gave an evil smile. "Or should I hunt them down?"

Hinata gave a soft laugh.
"I still wanna rip his spleen out." She gave a soft smile.
"Still, it's better than trying to fight them off."

Chris and Hestia also left but Chris gave Tolkalee a thumbs up before leaving. They left, acting like they were furious.

The figure with the staff laughed. “At least someone understands us…there’s no need for you to hunt them down, Anthony and Royal, our archers, are still somewhere around…they’ll be dead soon enough…” the magician giggled.

"I should join them," Tolkalee commented coldly. He was still holding his bow. "Or would you like me to do something else?"

Hinata gasped as Kagami's wounds started closing.
"Get's me every time," she mumbled.

Terry looked at Matthew. "Tolkalee told me to tell you, he's sorry, but he had to make it as convincing as possible."

The figure with the staff who seemed to be in charge said…”You can join them if you want…besides, these guys don’t need much backup” he referred to the melee fighters.

"I didn't think they did. I don't see where those fools see weakness. They seem more like the weak ones to me," Tolkalee spat. "What sniper position would you like me in?"

Chris laughed slightly. “That was a really good act…” Matthew shrugged it off while Kohaku was sleeping in his coat. “Whatever gets us on the higher ground I guess…”

Kagami sighed as her wounds healed.
"You know, next time we do that, maybe not shooting Kagami would be good."

"Again he says he's sorry, but it had to be convincing," Terry explained. His limp was gone by this point. "If it wasn't convincing enough, he could have been killed."

“I would like you to ask them…they’re both at the plateau up at there” the staff figure pointed to the plateau where all the buildings are visible.

"They know I'm on your side right?" Tolkalee raised and eyebrow. But he was already walking in that direction.

“Uh…hold on…” the staff figure turned and tapped the right side of his mask and spoke something. “Right, they know now” he turned back and said to Tolkalee.

Hinata shrugged.
"He could say he doesn't attack kids. Eh, it's over now. No harm done."

Terry looked at her with a serious face. "I beg to differ. There was a massive amount of harm done. Did you hear what Tolkalee said?"

"Yeup." Hinata shrugged again.
"Honestly, I've stopped giving two f*cks anymore. I need a drink…"

Tolkalee walked up the plateau and spotted the other two archers. He placed both his hands behind his back as he walked. "Well, hello again."

Hinata reached into her back pocket. She pulled out a bottle of sake.

The archer and the crossbow archer looked at Tolkalee. “Heh…didn’t expect you here…” Royal said to him.

Kagami opened her eyes.
"W-what happened?"

"I did say I understood you," Tolkalee shrugged. "So what are we doing?"
