Chapter 4: Courses Of Destiny

(Hope you all are enjoying the story!!)

Jaruto woke up after smelling the scent of something cooking. He got up and went to find Cal, who was making bacon, eggs and some waffles.

Cal: "Morning Jaruto, I was just making breakfast." He said with comforting smile.

Jaruto: "Thanks..."

Cal served him breakfast and then took off the gloves and apron. After waiting patiently for Jaruto to finish eating. Jaruto sighs and looks at Cal.

Jaruto: "You want to know why I came here?"

Cal: "Yeah. Why didn't you go home? Why did you look afraid?"

Jaruto: "There's...something in me..."

Cal: "What are you talking about?"

Jaruto: "Let me start from the beginning..."

Jaruto talked to Cal about what happened when he was at Dylan's house. The thief Dante, the armor chest piece, the transformation. Cal was listening patiently and nods.

Cal: "How did you remember? Or gain your memories back?"

Jaruto: "After I returned to normal, I was able to recall the events of what happened. But...those weren't the only memories."

Cal: "What do you mean?"

Jaruto: "I had these memories...not my memories but memories from someone else. Almost as if...I had the memories of all of those people who once put on the chest piece." He said as he groaned from having more memories flash into his head.

Cal: "What did you see?"

Jaruto: "I saw...the memories of a man who destroyed an entire village...fire everywhere...this man was an evil man. What's happening to me?!"

Cal: "Calm down Jaruto, you're not a bad person. What can you do? How did you transform?"

Jaruto closed his eyes and then his left arm turned into razor-shap claw.

Jaruto: "I can kinda control it...I don't know what else I can do."

Then part of Jaruto's face turned black and into a weird solid-liquid form. His voice changed.

Razor(Jaruto): "I know more than you."

Jaruto: "It's that same voice!"

Cal: "Who are you?"

Razor(Jaruto): "I am Razor, The Death Knight. I would seems I found another host."

Cal: "Another host? You mean Jaruto?"

Jaruto: "Get out of my body!" He demanded.

Razor(Jaruto): "No. I cannot do that."

Jaruto(Razor): "Why?"

Razor(Jaruto): "I do not have the ability to leave this body. You have worn my chest piece, which was a vessel for my spirit. Now, you have my power."

Jaruto: "So I'm stuck like this for the rest of my life?!" Jaruto said with fear in his voice.

Razor(Jaruto): "Yes, until the day you die."

Jaruto fell on all fours. Cal kneeled next to Jaruto.

Cal: "What do you want with Jaruto?"

Razor(Jaruto): "Whatever the host wants, I want."

Cal: "What are you? What is a Death Knight?"

Razor doesn't say anything and Jaruto's face returns to normal.

Jaruto: "...I need to go."

He quickly grabs his things and leaves.

Cal: "Jaruto!" He called him back.

IN THE CITY...

Katelynn was walking with Sky, just hanging out with each other.

Sky: "So what do you wanna do later?"

Katelynn: "I don't know, I can't decide."

Sky: "Hm, how about shopping together!" She said excitedly.

Katelynn: "Sure why not?"

A creepy fellow with a hoodie started following them in the places they went. After buying the stuff they wanted and put it in Sky's car, he pulled out a gun and aimed it at them.

Hooded creep: "Hey ladies. How about you give me the keys and get in the car, huh?~"

Sky: "As if I would go with you, creep!" She said with an angry tone.

Hooded creep: "That's just too bad."

He then aimed the gun directly at Sky.

Katelynn: "No!"

Katelynn ran in front of Sky and he pulled the trigger. Katelynn had her hands in front of her as a reflex...and summoned a shield in her arm, absorbing the bullet.

Hooded creep: "What the...?"

Sky took this as a opportunity to uppercut the man so hard it sent him flying to a nearby water fountain, knocking him out cold. Katelynn and Sky quickly got in the car, called the police and drove away.

Sky: "Are you ok?! You hurt?!"

Katelynn: "N-No! I'm fine..."

The shield on her arm disappeared in light.

Sky: "How did you do that?!"

Katelynn: "I-I don't know...I don't know much about my powers."

She looks out the window.

Katelynn: 'And I think I know who to ask.'

Sky dropped Katelynn off at her guardian's house to talk. She knocks on the door. They open the door and welcome Katelynn inside.

Peter: "Hello Princess, it's nice to see you again." He smiled as he served her tea.

Martha: "We're so glad you're ok." She smiled.

Katelynn: "I need to talk to you about something."

Martha: "Did Cal do something to hurt you..?" She said with a scary smile.

Katelynn: "No no! It's about my powers."

Peter and Martha looked at each other for a bit then back at Katelynn.

Peter: "What would you like to know?"

Katelynn: "What sort of power do I have?"

Martha: "Before you were born, your family had a special power that could only be described as a gift from The Creator. It was called, 'The Angel's Light.' Me and Peter were the closest friends your parents, our king and queen, had so we took care of you when your parents were attending meetings with the other kingdoms. Your father was human and your mother was an Angel. Our kingdom was called 'Divinity."

Katelynn: "How did the kingdom fall?"

They were a bit silent but spoke.

Peter: "The Evil Seed arrived. It was in a form of a large asteroid that crashed into the village nearby. The shards of the asteroid infected everyone and everything nearby and turned into creatures that had a uncontrollable bloodlust, they are know as The Malfested. It was spreading so quickly, everything was in chaos. We were fighting against so many, your parents put you in a secret chamber to protect you. There was no end to the battle, so we had to retreat. We tried to look for the king and queen, but there was no sign of them. We even checked the chamber, but all we found was you. We had to get away from the kingdom, as far as we could." They said as they looked sad.

Katelynn hugged the both of them which caught them by surprise.

Katelynn: "You Both did your best to help me. I'm so glad I have guardians like you two." She smiled brightly.

They both hug her back tightly, trying to keep tears from falling.

Peter/Martha: "Thank you, Princess Katelynn!" They said, sniffling.

She smiles. They let go and she takes a deep breath.

Katelynn: "Ok, now I want you to take me there."

Martha: "Take you...where?"

Katelynn: "To our kingdom." She said determined.

Both Peter and Martha were nervous, obviously against the idea of returning.

Peter: "I-It's too dangerous! Most of the remnants of the Malfested lurk there!"

Martha: "Besides, that place is off-limits. The G.A.P organization keeps guard of that area."

Katelynn: "I don't care what it takes, I want to see the kingdom I was born. I want to see for myself where I come from. I am determined, to see my kingdom!"

They both saw the determination in Katelynn's eyes. It was as if she became a stronger person. Both Peter and Martha looked at each other and nodded.

Peter: "Ok then your highness, we will try to go the kingdom. We must first prepare ourselves for such a trip. It will be long and difficult, are you sure you want to go with this?"

Katelynn takes another long, deep breath and opens her eyes.

Katelynn: "Yes, I want to go to the kingdom Divinity."

For 3 days, Katelynn has been preparing herself with resources in her journey: Food, water, first-aid, bug spray, flashlight, tents, and she finishes by grabbing a picture of her and her friends in a picture after graduation. She looks at Cal in the picture for awhile.

Katelynn: 'I should leave him a note before I go.' She thinks to herself.

She gets drop off at Cal's apartment and she kisses the envelope before sliding it underneath the door. She leaves quickly and gets ready. The car she was in drives off. Jaruto watches from the ground floor.

Jaruto: "Katelynn?"

He hears a woman scream in a dark alley. He goes to investigate and finds two men robing a family.

Jaruto: "Hey! Stop!"

They turn around.

Scum 1: "Get lost kid, you have no business here."

Jaruto: "Leave them alone!"

Scum 2: "Do you wanna die kid?! Shut up and get lost before we make you!" He says as he points a gun at him.

Jaruto starts growling and his eyes glowed purple. There was a change in his arm.

His body transforms into his changed state. His claws show up.

Jaruto(Transformed): "You can't kill me...but I will." He said with deep voice.

He stomps towards them. One of them shoots at Jaruto, but the bullets just get absorbed. He kicks one against a wall with enough force to leave a crack and slowly grabs the other one, lifting him up.

Scum 1: "What the hell are you?!" He yells in fear.

Part of Jaruto's face is revealed.

Razor(Jaruto): "I...am Razor." His voice distorted.

He then impales him with his claws and tosses him aside. The family runs away in fear as Jaruto transforms back into himself then walks away into the darkness of the alley.

(Sorry if I take a long time posting chapters. I get busy with real life and also and I'm getting back into role playing. If any of you want to role play with me, please let me know. Thank you and have a great day everyone!)
