Chapter 3: Hostility
Third Person P.O.V
"Mitch..." Someone whispers. Mitch opens his eyes slightly and sees the night sky. He can see the fire a little farther then he remembered. He hears people sleeping and whispering. He looks around and smiles slightly seeing Benja Recruits. His recruits. He is happy to see them but also upset remembering the ones who died protecting him when he couldn't even protect them. Mitch closes his eyes and moves slightly. The pain has lessen a little but is still unbearable. He hears footsteps walk to him and stop. He feels a hand on his chest.
"Mitch. You awake?" Someone asks. Mitch opens his eyes and sees Captain Clara Bagian. She smiles and goes on her knees next to him. "Man. You gave me a heartattack when you didn't return."
"The..recruits...are they-"
"We were able to save two of the five." Clara said. Mitch looks at her. She has dark red hair that is always tied back, in dark clothing, black boots, and always has her duel swords on her back. Mitch looks at the sky feeling upset.
"T-Two..." Mitch said. Clara looks at him. She sees him shiver and she takes her hand off of him.
"Are you cold? I can get you another blanket if you are." Clara said.
"No." Mitch said. Clara takes a second looking over Mitch again. He looks terrible. He has bandages on his leg, shoulder, and stitches on his face right over his eyebrow.
"Please don't do this. Not now. You were missing for two days, how your still alive is frankly....a miracle. You should be dead. You and those two recruits are lucky. The recruits at the base were restless and searching for you non stop. Jerome was so worried about you like me and Ruby were. So please, take your heath into consideration instead of being strong and trying to hide your pain. Your not gonna fool anyone this time Mitch. We know your in pain, it's okay to let it show." Clara said. Clara puts pressure on his hurt leg making him groan. Clara looks at him.
"P-Please stop." Mitch said. Clara takes her hand off his leg.
"How are you feeling? For honest truth." Clara asks. Mitch coughs a few times feeling his throat like needles stabbing it.
"H-Horrible. E-Everything....h-hurts." Mitch said. Clara nods.
"Okay. Do you want water? Food?" Clara asks.
"W-Water." Mitch said. Clara nods and stands up. She goes to a horse, her horse, and grabs a canteen. She goes to him and goes down on her knees.
"Let's sit you up a little bit." She said. Clara helps Mitch sit up and he groans in pain since she is moving around his hurt shoulder a lot. Clara opens the canteen and gives it to Mitch. "Take as much as you need." The canteen is mostly full anyway. Mitch takes a few drinks of it and gives it back to Clara. Clara closes it and sits it down. She feels his forehead. "You were getting really sick, but I don't feel any signs of your fever returning. Lay down and rest. We move in the morning."
"They w-w-were going t-t-towards Seto." Mitch said. Clara looks at Mitch for a second and nods.
"Alright. I'll send a message to the Dead Army, since they are the closest to Seto. Lay down and rest." Clara said. Clara gets up as Mitch falls back to sleep.

Skylar opens the door and a guard is there. Skylar looks at them.
"HHHeeyyy." She said.
"Summon orders for Seto." They said. Skylar looks at their shoulders and sees no crests of any Army. She closes the door a little.
"Why you closing the door?" They asked.
"What Army are you from? You don't have any of the Armies Crests." Skylar asks. The guard signs and the ones around smile a little. The guard at front pulls out something and Skylar shuts the door. "SETO!" She locks the door and runs downstairs as the door bursts opens. Skylar opens the door and almost crashes into Seto. The guards run down the stairs shooting a spell at them. Seto pulls Skylar behind him blocking the spell.
"Alright, let's calm down here now." Seto said. A girl dressed in dark clothing comes and crosses her arms. She smiles.
"There's my Mage." She said. Skylar grabs Seto's arm.
"He's not yours. Who are you?" Skylar asks.
"I'm Kim. You probably know me with my process in the Dark Arts. I already know you Seto. Most powerful Mage in the Light Arts. But this must be your little apprentice. Skylar right?" Kim asks. Kim has shiny and long curly black hair, dressed in dark clothing, and blue eyes. Kim takes a step towards Seto making Seto's eyes glow. "Such hostility Seto. Calm down." Skylar pulls Seto back and behind her.
"Get out." Skylar said. Kim laughs.
"Got guts I see? I'm not leaving without him coming with me. We had to shoot down a General and his recruits to get to you." Kim said. Skylar freezes a little.
"Who?! Who did you shoot down?" Skylar asks. Kim smirks.
"Mitch. Although I don't think he was killed. Go kill Mitch, make sure he is dead." Kim said. Guards leave. Seto grabs Skylar as she goes towards Kim.
"Skylar calm down. You can't beat her. She's too powerful for you." Seto said in her ear. Skylar stops struggling. "Mitch is gonna be fine."
"At least someone can cage that b***h." Kim said. Skylar's eyes glow and she pushes Seto off of her. Kim smiles and looks at Seto and then at her guards.
"Kill her." Kim said. Seto sits up quietly seeing spell come at Skylar. He gets up and pushes her to the ground. The spells hit him and knock him down. He crashes into the wall laying on his side. Skylar crawls to him.
"Seto!" She said. Seto opens his eyes feeling dizzy but feels something warm on his hands. He has a deep cut across his stomach and blood soaking his shirt and the ground. Skylar feels tears form in her eyes. "Your gonna be okay." She puts her hand on his wound trying to stop the bleeding. Seto looks at her face. Tears fall down her face. "Don't die please. Don't leave me alone." The guards grab Skylar's arms. They pull her away and Skylar fights back. "No! Seto!" Seto picks up his arm slowly and just feels no strength in his body. He arm drops and Kim kneels down in front of him. Skylar struggles in the guards grip. "LET GO! Get away from him!" Skylar starts crying and that's when the door bursts open.
"Skylar!" Ty yelled. Kim shoots a spell at him immediately. Ty stumbles back as it hits the doorway. Ty pulls out his sword and him and three other recruits run in. Ty kicks the guards off Skylar. Ty goes to Kim, pushing her away from Seto. Kim stands up.
"Move mortal scum." Kim said. Ty looks at Seto for a second and then at Kim.
"Make me." Ty said. Skylar goes onto her knees. She looks at Seto. She crawls to him. Seto passed out and she puts her hand on his neck. She smiles but cries more when he is still alive. She puts Seto in her lap hugging him tight.
"Your...Your not getting him!" Skylar yelled. She presses her hand against his stomach trying to stop the bleeding. Kim looks at the guards and nods. The guards disappear. Kim looks at Ty. Ty isn't paying attention to Kim. She pulls out a staff and points it at Ty. A recruit sees and stands back up.
"Firmia!" Kim said.
"TY!" The recruit screamed. Black fire shots straight at Ty. Ty looks at it before.....
