Chapter V-Hyro
Where?

Hyro sat down at the long dining table. He had purple bags under his eyes and he seemed a bit dizzy, almost falling into his breakfast. Kyle stared at him with a funny look. "What's wrong Hyro?" Hyro shook his head. "I said, what's wrong Hyro?"

Hyro stared at Kyle with his eyes half open. "I don't know."

"Surely you do." Kyle raised an eye brow. "Ever since Varrock you've been a bit peculiar." Hyro continued to stare at Kyle. "Are you going to tell me?"

"You remember that girl I was arranged with?"

"Julia? Yes, I remember."

"I saw her in Varrock."

Kyle looked at him and nodded. "Hm."

"She married."

Kyle shook his head. "So?"

"I don't know." Hyro stared at his plate, his eyes closing and then flinging open to not fall asleep. "Has anyone found black Riku yet?"

"Nope, no one is looking for him because you destroyed their homes." Kyle chuckled softly. Hyro took a deep breath and pushed his chair back. He stood up, looked at Kyle, and then walked out of the room.

Hyro went towards the stable, he grabbed his best steed and sped out of the fortress.

-----

"Where is he?" Kyle grabbed one of the army commanders. "Matt, tell me you've seen him."

"No my lord, he's been gone for over a month now."

"Damn it." Kyle went to the stable and grabbed a horse. He jumped on and sped away. He knew where Hyro was.

Kyle arrived at the valley surrounded by dark mountains that resembled black ash. He got off his horse and tied it to a tree. He looked down. It was the old valley where Hyro and him grew up. He sighed. He scouted the valley and found Hyro's horse. Kyle cursed, it was hungry and seemed to be almost dead. He gave it some food and lead it to a stream of water. Kyle turned his head and gasped.

"Hyro?" No reply. "Hyro!" The breathing stopped. Kyle ran in and saw Hyro laying covered with blood. A dark, cloaked figure stood looking at him.

Chapter V-Hyro
Where?

"What did you do to him?!" Kyle ran at the dark figure. They both grabbed each other and fell to the ground in a tight wrestle. Kyle pushed back and jumped up, unsheathing a knife he had forgotten till now due to his sudden rage. He swung the blade and almost hit the figure.

The cloaked mystery jumped back and swung his fist and hit Kyle in the chin. Kyle retaliated by swinging his blade and cutting the right arm of the figure infront of him. The figure suddenly disappeared after grabbing it's right arm. Kyle cursed and ran over to Hyro, picking him up and running to the horses.

He arrived at the fortress, sweaty and white. He ran to the medical tower and set Hyro down carefully, bringing mages and medics to attend to him quickly. Hyro's eyes were shut, his whole body was covered in blood from an open wound on his stomach with scratches cut not from a blade but what seemed to be a sharp claw.

Days later Hyro awoke. His stomach ached with pain and his whole body seemed to be screaming. He laid there, Kyle at his side asleep. Hyro closed his eyes and slept some more.

Hyro awoke the next day. Kyle was talking with a mage when Hyro started grunting. "Hyro! What happened? Who did this? What do you remember?" Hyro shook his head still grunting from the pain. "Eat Hyro, you've been out for a whole week." Hyro grabbed a piece of bread and slowly ate it. He drank some water and then turned to Kyle.

"I don't know what happened." Hyro stared at Kyle. "I was gone the whole day, killing a few things to take my mind off of things. Someone confronted me, we... had a fight and ended in that damned cave where he caught me by surprise. Then everything went black until now."

"Well you're here and safe. Most of your wounds were healed but you have this scar on your stomach, it looks like bad, from a claw or some sort of weapon."

"Claw?"

"Yes, the wound isn't from a blade."

Hyro clenched his fist. "Damn it. I fought a werewolf." Kyle stared at him.

Chapter V

Note to Everyone this chapter takes place in between Hyro's chapter 5 and where the end of chapter 4 left off
---

Riku grabbed Nhoj's hand.Nhoj pulled him from the ground

"I will" Said Riku with a hint of mild confidence in his voice.

Nhoj smiled a gashy sharp toothed smile and said "Well then, there is no time to lose."

With a quick movement Nhoj grabbed Riku's hand and they were off into the woods. After a couple of minutes they reached a huge clearing in the forest.

Riku stopped for a second to catch his breath while Nhoj barely broke a sweat. Nhoj then looked to the sky, stuck two fingers in his mouth and whistled.

"What are you doing?" asked Riku

"Sshhh" exclaimed Nhoj as he put a finger to his mouth.

Riku listened for a bit, after about 15 seconds he heard a strong gush of wind. So strong that the trees around them shook and the dust of the ground blew into the wind. He looked to the sky and about 20 feet in the sky a winged beast hovered in the sky.

"What is it?!" screamed Riku over the flapping of the beasts wings.

"Her name is Kyu, and she is a dragon."

The beast came down closer and finally landed on the ground. It was huge! It had black scales and glowing green eyes that shone brightly in the darkness of night.

Nhoj went closer to the beast and climbed onto the front of it, near its neck. Riku was stunned.

Nhoj looked at Riku and said "Well, c'mon then. We have no time to lose."

Riku looked at the beast suspiciously but put all suspicion aside as he climbed onto the beast. Within seconds the beast was off into the night. Riku had so many questions that he screamed into Nhoj's ear as they rode in the night sky.

"Where are we going? Where did you get this dragon? How did you tame it? Are you sure it won't eat us?"

Nhoj looked annoyed and said "Your questions lack relevence at this moment, Riku. All will be explained soon. But for now.." Nhoj pointed down.

Riku's heart dropped as he looked below to see a burning Varrock far below.

Chapter V Continued

Riku's heart dropped as he looked to see a burning Varrock far below. Even the wings of Kyu went silent even though they were flapping vigorously.

"Hyro did this.." Said Nhoj

"I-I see.." said Riku with sadness in his voice

They continued to ride into the night. Riku just looked down, completely silent, as well as Nhoj. Kyu landed in a clearing where they got off.

"Hyro must be stopped" said Nhoj

Riku's sadness turned into a childlike rage and he screamed "Then lets go kill him!"

Nhoj shook his head. Riku understood so little of how big this was..

"Riku, yo-"

"No! I can do it! I can-"

"Riku!! He would squash you like a bug!!" Screamed Nhoj.

For a bit there was silence. Riku was saddened by Nhoj's words.

"If you stick by me though, you shall defeat him..Let me train you, teach you my ways. If you follow me, if you do what I say then yes, you shall defeat him."

Riku rose his head and looked at Nhoj with a smirk

"When do we begin?"

Nhoj smiled at his arrogance

----

Weeks went by and Nhoj proved to be a much tougher master than Aragorn. From the break of day they would train until the sun went down. At night they ran, if to tired, they flew. It was a must to keep on the move. Hyro was still searching, and Nhoj knew it.

It has been 2 weeks since Nhoj met Riku. They have set up a temporary encampment near the river. The fire is dying down as Riku is fast asleep from a long day of training and running.

Nhoj wakes up with a thirst, he goes through the woods to the stream and bends down to take a drink. All of a sudden he hears a rustle of leaves behind him.

"Who's there?" Nhoj said demandingly

After afew brief moments of silence Nhoj figures it was just the wind. He bends down again to the water and drinks again.

An entity sneaks up behind Nhoj and puts a knife to Nhoj's throat.

"Don't move" says the entity

Chapter V continued

"Dont move" says the entity

Nhoj has a light chuckle

"Hyro, you managed to keep up"

"You cannot escape me, scum. Where is the bo-"

Nhoj swings around while Hyro has his guard down and launches his claw toward Hyro's face.

The claw misses, but Hyro is slashed in the stomach by the other.

"Gah!"

"Leave this place if you know what is good for you" Said Nhoj

"Do you think it will be that easy?!" Hyro mocked

Hyro rushed to Nhoj with the knife in his hand and swings, hitting through Nhoj's robes. He continues to make these swift movements as Nhoj screams. Blood lurches out of the wounds and drips on the the grass.

Hyro begins to go after him again with swift movements and Nhoj bites his arm. Hyro screams. Nhoj picks him up by the neck and squeezes his claws into Hyro's neck meaning to kill him when he hears a voice.

"It is not your place.." says the voice in Nhoj's ear

"Yes..I understand.." Says Nhoj.

Nhoj lets go with his claws and throws Hyro into the stream, knocking him out. Nhoj walks up to him and sighs.

"Not..my..place" he says as he walks away back to the camp.

Nhoj is careful not to wake up Riku as he goes back to the camp and lays down.

-2 hours later

Riku woke up near the end of night where the sun just starts to come up. He looked to his side to see Nhoj fast asleep, a bit bloody. Any other time he would have questioned this but he was so tired, and oh so thirsty.

In a dream like state Riku makes his way to the stream, relying only on instinct over how tired he was. Finally he makes it to the stream and bends down not taking notice to Hyro's body only about 17 yards away in the stream, His blood rushing into the stream. He bends down to take a sip.

"So..thirsty.." He said, halfway asleep

Riku made his way back to the encampment and was careful not to wake Nhoj up. He knew those ears of his could hear anything, even when asleep. The child needed as much rest as he could get for what was to come.

Chapter V continued.

"Riku, Riku!" said a voice

Riku jumps up to see Nhoj sitting on a rock near him.

"Is it time to begin training again?" said Riku

"Not quite. We have other business to attend too. Follow me"

Riku nodded and followed Nhoj not asking any questions. They came out near the stream. Nhoj points at Hyro's body.

"Is he..Dead?!" Riku gasped

"Not quite..Not..Yet.." Nhoj shook his head and gave Riku a hard stare

"What do you w-" Riku stopped as Nhoj gave him a dagger

"I-I understand, it must be done.." Said Riku

Riku walked over to Hyro's body. He was finally here. He could finally get his revenge, even if it was a bit unfair. He realized this but he didn't care. He thought to himself that this was it. It would all end. The nightmares, the hell. Riku shook with excitment and held the dagger to his head when all of a sudden Nhoj stopped him.

"Riku, wait. Listen.." Said Nhoj

They both listened. The child did not hear anything at first but then after a couple of seconds he heard horses in the distance.

"Riku, hide behind the tree." Said Nhoj demandingly

Riku looked at Hyro's body and then looked at Nhoj. he did it again. He then stood up and ran toward the forest, hiding behind a tree.

"Damn it" said Riku

Nhoj put his hood on as a man on a horse came up. He jumped off and gave Nhoj a hard stare after looking at Hyro.

"What did you do to him?!" The man ran at Nhoj. They both grabbed each other and fell to the ground in a tight wrestle. The man pushed back and jumped up, unsheathing a knife. He swung the blade and almost hit Nhoj.

Nhoj jumped back and swung his fist and hit the man in the chin. The man retaliated by swinging his blade and cutting Nhoj's right hand. In pain Nhoj ran into the woods quicker than the eye could see.

"Now is where we take our leave" Said Nhoj to Riku

Riku nodded and they were off into the forest.

Nice chapter.
However, I have to correct you on something, Riku. I noticed in the beginning a bit that you had the verb tense in present, not past.
I.e. Riku walks (when it should have been walked). Change that, and it makes it much better. I did notice you did fix it later on, so just correct that beginning. I'll explain it better if you need me to.
