Altora: The Chronicles Of The Ren Ky Warriors - Volume 3: Book 3: Dragons And Roses Chapter 112 Marin 34th Rose

Dino enters Luna’s tent, “Miss are you awake?”

Luna looked over at him, her eye hollowed as she turned away, “Yes, what do you want?”

Dino sighed, “I just wanted to let you know we are moving within the next hour to the next location.”

“Okay, you may leave.”

Dino sighed as he exited her tent. Hunter stared from a distance. “Dino, how is she doing?”

Dino shook his head, “Not well, even though I decided to let you out, she seems out of it still. I told her I am sorry, but I cannot figure out what is wrong with her?”

Hunter sighed as he looked away, “I wish I could figure her out but every time I enter, it’s like I am invisible to her. Luna’s mentality is broken, and I hope she can pull herself back together.” Hunter pulled himself tightly together. “I should know, I went through that after I was kicked out of the Faremin army.”

Dino gritted his teeth, “I hope this Digon person can put some sense into her?”

Hunter shook his head, “I don’t know? I have been to the castle in Inroar and I met with my cousin, and my grandfather. I thinkno I hope this Digon is someone we know.”

Dino nodded before turning to the rest of his men. “You know you really have changed. And that is evident since I knew you when you were with Azoth.”

Hunter sighed as he looked to the sky, “Yeah, Kyle helped with that and the first person I ever kill.”

Dino looked at him. “He was Azoths friend at one point, wasn’t he?”

Hunter closed his eyes, “Yeah, Lovell did the very same thing to finish what they started from the beginning of my living memories. Lovell’s also placed this heavy burden where I have failed already. I just don’t get it. Why would he give me the Ren-Ky jewel of hope? I don’t even fit the profile as some who inspires hope?”

Dino stared at him, “Yeah, that is true. You are more broken that Luna when it comes to knowing your place in this war.”

Hunter glanced at him, “Yeah, I know. Anyway, you need me to do anything before we leave?”

Dino nodded at him, “yeah I need you to check and if need be help the men ready the horses.”

Hunter stood up, “Okay then, I will do as you ask, if Shadow or any of Black Wolfs summon come with any information let me know what they say. I would like to stay in the loop.”

Dino nodded at he watched Hunter walk off. He turned his attention back at Luna as she exited her tent. “Well, this is surprise? You came out without someone carrying you?”

Luna looked over to where Hunter was. “Who were you talking to?”

Dino’s face soured, “No one important, just one of my men. Have you pack inside?” Luna nodded slowly, “Good, I will have someone take you to the carriage, just don’t wander off?”

Luna stared at the ground before someone came and got her. “There, there, come with me miss. I will take you over now.”

Dino rubbed his head feeling the guilt wring him dry. He looked up to see the same masked man form the last time. Dino folded his arms waiting for Shadow to speak.

“You seem distuaght?” Shadow asked.

Dino closed his eyes, “Yeah, Luna is broken thanks to me. She is unable to see Hunter is no longer my prisoner and I feel like the biggest ass in the whole world.”

Shadow looked over to were Luna went, “I see, she will come around. I have something to give her on the fifth of Junra.”

Dino looked at Shadow as he handed him a letter, “What’s this?”

“It’s for the both of them, make sure Luna reads it. And not to let them see it or anyone else for that matter. This might be the only way Luna can return back to old self.”

Dino squinted at Shadow, “Wait a minute…Kyle? Is that you?”

Shadow looked away from him. “I don’t know this Kyle person that”

“It is you; I knew it! I had this funny feeling ever since I saw you!” Dino grabbed Shadow.

Shadow sighed as he took his mask off, “Fine, I was Kyle when I was alive, but I am now known as Shadow, a wolf summon spirit.” Shadow stared at Dino, “If you tell Hunter about me my master will be discovered too early. I would like it if we could avoid that at any cost.”

Dino waved his hand at him, “Fine, I won’t tell him but as long as”

“Hello Dino?” Dino stopped as he notice and another person, “Remember me?”

“Levi, what are you doing here? I thought you were to keep an eye on” Shadow barked at him.

Levi raised his hand at Shadow, “I know, don’t remind me.”

Dino went pale as he looked at Levi, “Wait, River is that you?” Levi nodded, while Dino grabbed him by the arms, “What happened to you? I searched for you ever since you disappeared after that girl left?”

Levi grabbed his hand, “It is good to see you to brother, but as you can tell I was killed. Longer than Kyle has been, but alas i will tell you what happened. Wolf informed me about where you were, and I needed to talk to you. About that girl and who she was. Plus, where I went.”

Dino pulled himself back as Shadow stared at Levi, “Speak then little brother.”

Levi closed his eye, “To put as short as possible, I joined the Faremin army as I thought she had left to join them herself I later found her with a man named Lovell. in the midst of the battle I was part of I was shot by friendly fire, and Lovell made a pact with me where I became a summon spirit. Saving me in the process, in some sense of the word saving me.” Dino curled away as he listened to Levi.

Levi opened his eyes staring at his brother, “The name of this girl was Luna, which I found out later to be the Goddess Lunatica. Lovell and Luna were form the same village and Lovell saved her form Demora’s wrath. Up until she reappeared with Fang Krisnik, Azoths first son, and half brother to Lovell and Hunter. After that I watched over Luna until Lovell died, after that I was transferred to Hunter without his knowledge.”

Levi stared at his hand before gripping it tight. Dino grabbed his brothers’ hand, “I am guessing Lovell gave you some power as to be able to talk like this is you met me?”

Levi nodded, “Yes, and before I forget, I am a water lion spirit. Until Hunter summons me, I am on borrowed time. I wish to help Luna as her protector, and I need Hunter to summon me. Can you tell him about what I said so canyou know.”

Dino nodded, “Yes I can. Just head back for now, rest and I will see you again soon, even if you cannot talk?” Tears filled their eye.

“Levi, go, Wolf would be heart broken if you dispersed here.” Shadow touched his shoulder as Levi nodded smiling once more at his brother before returning to the spirit realm.

Dino felt closure now his brother was in good hands. As he bottled his emotions. “Now is not the time to wallow in self-pity we have to reach that location. If I am correct, we should make it there by Lark fifth or sixth. Let Digon know so he is not waiting to long before we get there.”

Shadow nodded as he left. Dino looked around and helped his men with the packing of camp readying for along journey south to meet Digon.
