A Fateful Meeting

Ankoku slowly makes his exit of the cave hearing the fight drawing closer yet cannot see anything due to the sun shining brightly into his eyes clouding his vision.

"Ugh..what a horrible way to wake up." Ankoku says coldly

Ankokus vision begins to come back to him as he sees knights engaged in a fight with what seems to be mercenaries.

"This isn't my fight" Ankoku says annoyedly, however, he begins to rush towards the fight wanting to help the knights. He leaps from the hill in which the cave resided upon and begins to fall towards the fight slowly as if being slowed by magic. Upon getting closer Ankoku sees something in the corner of his eye, a carriage, it's a simple carriage but it has a crest. The crest is a lion entangled in a fight against another with wings behind them all shiny and gold. This crest began filling Ankoku's vision, appearing over, over, over,over, and over again. His vision darkened each time it flashed into his head until he saw it, the crest upon the soldiers laying at his door was the same, The crest of the Rekya Kingdom. 

Ankoku's entire body began to tighten, his heart beating faster as he drew his sword, veins almost bursting from his grip on it, his forehead veins bulging and his eyes losing the glint in them. Ankoku falls silently and right before touching the ground he mutters coldly,

"Sword Technique- Raijin: chapter one, Exertion Sword" his sword burst into a bright blue light with lightning coming off the blade, Ankoku swiftly vanished after stepping one foot on the ground 

"Raicho's sword art-guiding strike" 

Two swift strikes from his sword and he appears again in between the two groups. Ankoku slowly turns his head facing the knights as two of the knight's heads fall to the ground, lightning shocking their body that is still standing and making them fall to the ground heavily. The knights stand there bewildered for only a second as they begin to charge Ankoku, He dashes in swinging his sword but it is almost effortlessly stopped by the knight fighting him. Ankoku stares in disbelief as he was easily able to kill two of them.

"You're stronger than the other two aren't you" Ankoku says coldly with no life in his eyes

"No, you just simply attacked from behind, foolish boy" The knight says as he raises and swings his sword cutting Ankokus left arm shallowly. The mercenaries resume their attack upon the knights as Ankoku struggles with the knight he is fighting.

The knight swings his sword sharply to the right clashing swords with Ankoku who went to block, in the instant the swords connected the knight slammed his fist into Ankoku's nose knocking him backwards dropping his sword. 

"Protection Type- Fujin- shock cage" Ankokus chest and head erupts in lightning surrounding his upper body, The knight swinging his sword down his launched back landing on his back beginning to stand up. Ankoku notices that the knight begins to raise even after taking the lightning strike from his shock cage as Ankoku prepares to charge the knight he begins to black out stumbling, falling face first into the dirt his vision going black as the knight approaches him sword raises getting ready to strike down. The knight swings full force down towards Ankokus head but is stopped by a dagger and is stabbed in the throat, the knight bleeding stumbles backwards and falls dead. There is a mercenary standing above him with a smile and says with a laugh to his comrades,

"I like this one, let's keep him."

The mercenary standing before him begins charging at the remaining knights, Ankoku lays there staring at the mercenaries slaughter the remaining knights and break into the carriage. They dragged out a young boy and an older girl with long white hair but a fair face dressed in nice clothes.

Ankokus vision gives out and it all goes black all he can hear are the familiar voices of Rajin and Fujin say,

"We shouldn't let him go wild, he doesn't even know the moves he simply felt them and used them without thinking." 

"Agreed." 

After that even the voices faded and nothing but the dark was left.
