‘Ummm the reason why I call Ash here and why I choose him of all people is-‘, Hikari gulp down, she can’t tell the truth or her master plan will not be put in action, that will be such a disaster.
‘Because he is the nearest fire mage around, that’s all and nothing else’.
All three of them give her one of the I can’t believe you stare.
Shikari start to sweat. ‘oh my god I’m dead, what should I do’, Shikari have no other way but to tell them the truth.
She was about to when Layla interrupt her moment by saying ‘Well, that convince me, I don’t care much but thanks to you Ash save my life’.
Layla smile warmly towards Ash. He notices it and give her one of his goofy grin.
‘You welcome, hey Ray, Layla spirit what his name again’, Ash rub his head while trying his best to remember the spirit name but he failed after a few minutes.
That because he blurt out a few ridiculous name and earn himself quite beaten up from Layla.
Ray just watch nervously his friend being tortured, 'Man even though this girl is injured she still the devil’.
Ray remind himself not to mess with this girl anytime soon.
‘His name is Grena and I wonder how did you get the name nana of all the names you could think of. What do you think he is? a grandmother or something’.
Ash defend himself, he just couldn’t believe that he got beaten up by a girl.
‘Well your description of him is white hair so I wonder if he is an old woman’.
Layla groan, man her friend can be very idiotic at time like this.
‘Tch, well he said to me that the only way we getting out of here is to find the a power call star fire and use it to open the gate to Echantros’. He turn around to look Hikari right in her eyes.
‘So do you have any idea on how we can get our hand on that kind of power?’.
Hikari shrug, ‘that wasn’t a power he meant but two souls’. The three of them shiver.
‘What do you mean by that?’. Hikari could guess that they just got the wrong idea.
‘No not like that but like this, combine two heart to form one in other language combine the power of the star maiden and the fire lord’.
Zierra interrupts ‘but we got here using this device’, she hand Hikari the button. Shikari examine the button and sigh.
‘That demon gave you this didn’t she?’. Zeirra and Ray look each other. ‘Does she knew about Myra true form’.
Without reason Ash pout ‘No fair you guys get to meet a demon while I’m stuck here and fight those lame guys’.
‘Idiot, we didn’t meet the demon, she just showed herself, furthermore she is closer than you could think’.
Ray manage his words so he didn’t blurt out to much, he is afraid that Myra will kill him just because he blurt out some information about 'her'.
Ash feel un satisfy by Ray’s answer. ‘I want to know who she is. Tell me now’,.
Ash poke Ray shoulder like a kid.
He keep saying ‘tell me now’, every time he poke Ray’s shoulder. Ray almost at his top patience, ‘will you quit it!!!’, he scream on top of his lungs.
‘How old do you think you are you knuckle head!!’. Ash turn into his chibi self, run without any expression on his face and hide behind Layla legs.
‘You better com out now you idiot!!’, Ray was out of control and accidently swipe Layla’s skirt which make her blush furiously and hit him with a big sword, not only that Zierra tie himself to the nearest pillar like a dog.
‘Don’t you go anywhere okay and with this you will not disturb any girl privacy again’.
Ash laugh slowly. Ray curse in his heart ‘ I will get you for this Ash!!!’, Ash laughter didn’t last long when Layla drag him by ear to the same pillar as Ray and start tying him up too.
Ash knot is tighter than Ray, so that mean he has a much limited movement rather that the guy next to him.
‘Ly, I didn’t do anything at all’, he plead with his big puppy eyes and fake tears.
‘Humph, like I will buy that.’, Layla storm away and start her discussion with Hikari and Zierra.
Ray sigh, there’s nothing he can do, he’s bored to death. If he pick a fight with flame head for sure he will be punish even more.
Ray could imagine the happy times they will have while torturing him to death.
Ray shivers just imagining it happen.
He just have one thing to do, he take out the hairclip and start making his excuses.
After ten minutes of silence between those two, Ash start to feel bored. Something sparkly caught his attention, ‘it’s seems to be a hairclip, but what will Ray do with a hairclip?’, Ash thought.
He knows if he want answers he need to ask but the possibilities Ray answering is low but he still have to try.
‘Hey, Ray. Whose hairclip did you stole this time?’.
Ray hiss ‘I didn’t stole it. Never dream off anyway’, he proudly answer the question.
Ash smirk, teasing words start to come out inside his head.
‘Is it for your girlfriend?’. Ray face turn gloomy and sour.
‘Hey dumdum, you better don’t tell Zierra about this hairclip or I will mess you up really bad’, his voice is soft but sounds stern in the same time.
Ash sigh, as much as he want to tease Ray, he seems to be under pressure by something and Ash respect the way he ask nicely.
‘Whatever, I will get some sleep since there’s nothing to do’, Ray was about to say something but he stop himself when he hears Ash loud snore.
‘Easy sleeper’, he mumble. He continue his stare into the hairclip.
That hairclip trigger his memories with someone, he gritted his teeth 'the dark memories'.
Wait, brother don’t go!!’, Little Ray try his best to catch up with his speedy brother.
‘Wait! No don’t!!’, little Ray ,manages to grab the corner of his big brother shirt. His brother smile warmly at his crying little brother.
He crouch down and pat his little brother head ‘It will be alright, little bro I promise’, Ray refuses to believe that.
‘Liar, you always are, how can you smile when you are almost meet you doom? WHY!!!!’, Ray haul.
His big brother sigh, there’s no way he can calm his little brother now. ‘Hey I promise that one day I will definitely come back to you’, he hold out his pinkie and hid a big goofy grin.
‘Pinkie promise bro?’. He nod. At least that cheer little Ray up and he finally willingly let his brother go. After that he never sees his brother ever again.
His brother volunteered for the magic experiment and they never reform him back if his brother is safe or not all they ever say is NOTHING!!!.
Ray couldn’t hold the curiosity anymore. One night he sneak out from his orphanage dorm and went to the laboratory.
When he arrive there a mysterious hood man bump into him.
He quickly realized who is the man and demand his answer.
’I’m sorry our experiment failed and your brother-‘,the man sigh. He seems to have a heavy heart to let Ray know.
‘Spill it out will you!!’, Ray burst out shouting at the man.
‘He’s dead and his body went missing. We think the dark guild took it’.
With that one simple answer, Ray could feels the ground spinning like crazy, before he knew it he already passed out.
Ray holds the hairclip tighter, ‘No one will fall into the darkness because of me ever again’.
The back story isn’t fully retold because his memory get mess up as soon as he woke up the next morning.
There’s rumors saying that his big brother is still alive but change. They say he has turn evil and he right now organizing a dark guild.
Ray couldn’t put his hopes up because he himself didn’t believe that his brother is gone.
After years searching he still can’t find the guild they are talking about, little by little the desire to see his bother fade away but the hope seeing him again still there in his cold heart.
Furthermore he has a new family now. He shouldn’t be too work up or they might be concern of his health or something.
