Dusk and Dawn
Book 1 ch 5

After returning to the village with Nana, Herro and Kyte begin to pack for the journey to Yōkai’s Mountain tower.

Herro: *packing food* well I’ve got everything I need what about you Kyte?

Kyte: Yeah I’ve got everything as well.

Umbra: *walking out from the doorway* Herro, are you sure that you have everything *holding a long sword with a ruby, emerald, and a sapphire in the center of the handle*

Herro: What’s with the blade?

Umbra: This is the Soul-Blade the sword that was used to separate myself and Dusk

*Personal note: Yes I am basing this off the Four-Sword from Legend of Zelda*

Herro: So why are you giving it to me 

Umbra: *sighs* I’m giving this sword to you so you can separate from Dusk so you don’t have to share the same body *hands sword*

Herro: Huh this is cool *swings blade around*

Umbra: Be careful with that!

Herro: *still swinging* don’t worry I’ll be as careful as possible *slices table in half* oh crap!

Umbra: *panicking* Run get out of here before your mother sees this

*Outside*

Herro: *running* Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit

Photos: *yelling* HERRO WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY TABLE!?!?!

*At the dead forest border*

Kyte: So this is the only path to Shadow Plateau. 

Herro: Well it’s the safest route.

Kyte: *Sighs* Well let’s get going then

*From Dark throne room*

Drazil: My lord the mind control procedures are done

Yōkai: Good, good I believe that you should go entertain our guests

Drazil: Yes my lord

Yōkai: Oh and take Neo

Drazil: *bitterly* Yes sir *disappears*

*Shadow Plateau a large barren wasteland like area, Dark Pillar Tower also located here* 

Kyte: So this is the tower that he mentioned.

Herro: Umbra said that this tower’s been around since the last tribe chieftain. 

Kyte: Kinda gives you a bad vibe don’t it.

Drazil: So look at what we have here.

Neo: ….

Herro: You *points to Neo*

Drazil: *Angry* Hey aren’t ya at least interested in me?

Herro: Who are you, go away this between me and him. *sways hands in a “Go away” gesture*

Drazil: *Pissed* Who am I? Who am I? *lightning bolt hits him* I am Drazil the Lighting Emperor and I’ll show you who’s a better fighter. *Disappears*

Herro: *Gets slammed into side of tower* urk y… you son of a bitch. Shadow ball!

Drazil: *dodges easily* is that the best you got cause if that is you’ll never get your sister back

Herro: *stands up* you’re really starting to piss me off *unsheathes the Soul-Blade* Come forth the celestial guardian of these lands, Dusk! *Dark winds surround Herro as he transforms into Dusk*

Dusk: *holding sword* So are ready for me now

Drazil: So you’re the one that my master is after. Well then let’s see who the better warrior is. The Lightning Emperor or some weak old man who’s been sleeping for so long?

Dusk: Did you just call me old!!! 

Drazil: So that’s what pisses you off ha ha ha. 

Dusk: That’s it you pup, it’s time that I start taking this seriously *disappears*

Drazil: Where did he go he’s going even faster than me?

Dusk: *reappears* So even you can’t keep up with me well that will keep things going faster. *Slams Drazil inside tower*

*Meanwhile*

Kyte: Huh so that means it’s just you and me, huh? *fighting stance*

Neo: *sighs* What a drag, I was supposed to keep Drazil from breaking the tower but he went and did it. Anyways I’m not fighting you, Shadow is. You want to kill him and I want him out of my way for my own purposes.

Shadow: *walks out of the shadows* So that’s been your plan all along, huh. You think you know a guy? *chuckles* 

Neo: This is your fight if you survive I’ll see you at the top.*disappears*

Shadow: Well I knew he would be a problem. Fine after I kill you I’ll take care of him.

Kyte: That’s if you beat me.

Shadow: Heh you got spunk but that only gets you so far *fighting stance* get ready to die.

Kyte: Ha you better be ready to meet the old man in the afterlife. *charges*

*Freeze frame with Kyte charging Shadow, Dusk fighting Drazil, and close up of Yōkai at the top of a tower.*
