#23 of Dragonheart Part 0-28


A Starry Night, it was completed at the Rieder his job. He looked at the wall, on the up and had to just sighed. "It'll be fun." He thought to himself and pulled out as if from nowhere, a barb. This he threw first, then threw him to the top, where he remained happily stuck in a hole in the wall.

He jumped at the wall, holding the rope in his hand and pulled himself up. Halfway, he realized that he will not come to the top. So he started to run along the wall to the side, steadily gained momentum and made ??it so get up the wall. At a holding pinnacle he remained for a moment, someone walked by.

As a person she was far enough away, he climbed the pinnacle, crouched down and crept off. Then, when suddenly a guard came up the stairs, he immediately made ??some finger sign. Suddenly blew on small metal splinters. These remained in the air until he was finished with his characters and just as the guards saw him, wanted to draw their weapons, were glowing on the spark and enveloped him.

Then they fell over, he immediately went back to work. Inside the building, from inside the house resembled a genteel: expensive paintings and tapestries hanging everywhere, bird sculpture standing by the door bows and guards were everywhere, ready to kill any thief immediately. "I should be careful otherwise this could be pretty tough." He mused, trying to find a suitable short cut.

"Have we lost our way?" Asked a guard, holding her sword against his back. Rieder just shook his head and jumped from a standing up on the guard. Then, with only a few well-aimed blows to the body, he brought her to the ground. While the guard fell to the ground Rieder looked up to the rafters, the wall ran up to the bar.

As quietly as I could, he crawled along the beams, until there was an open door to him. The bar with her ??legs clasped firmly, he turned around 180 degrees and then hung upside down to the guards, who came straight out the door. Just when they started to read Rieder fall, landed in front of them supported on his hands, he sprang forward with his feet in the face of the guards grabbed at the same moment the other at the back of the head and pushed them onto the hard stone floor.

The other guards who were aware of the sudden clang pulled their weapons and ran. Rieder stood up, wiped the dust off of things and only then noticed the guards. As if from nowhere, he had then four Kunai between his fingers and threw them out of the stand on it. Surprised the guards were hung on the wall, while Rieder through the door straight to his target ran: a golden treasure chest.

Just as he made ??his first step he heard a short click, which alerted him immediately; shot as predicted from small holes in the wall of arrows at him, he was able to fend off with a quick-drawing his katana. But at this moment two razor-sharp pendulum raced toward him. He immediately jumped forward, dodging the pendulums, but it was not over: from the earth suddenly shot nail beds, which he could only just missed.

Rieder is a moment relaxed, then opened the chest in which there was a red-gleaming rapier. "For this job would be done." He said, the rapier thrust into his belt. His mission was to create a rapier, which had for generations in the hands of an impoverished family back after it was stolen by the son of the rival family.

Then he heard the sound of boots, the clanking of armor: the room was full of soldiers who pointed their swords at him. "Surrender or die," shouted one of them, Rieder drew his katana and answered. "No matter what I do, I'll die anyway" The soldiers were walking slowly towards him, it was always about Rieder, but he only looked after up and jumped over them.

But there were already other guards who were waiting for him with guns drawn. Demonstrated in the following seconds, Rieder, his reflexes were as fast, not a single blade met and if a hit, he fought them off with his katana. But with all the many guards him much more difficult to keep them out of themselves. In the end it was around him so closely that he puts away his weapon in no time, put his hands together and made ??a new finger signs.

"Fire curtain" around him, the flames shot up and swirled around him first, what made ??it so impossible to attack him. Within this vortex, he jumped up, turned in a 180 ° angle and provided with another finger sign that he stuck to the ceiling. ! "Come down here, you thief," shouted a soldier, what followed Rieder: he let himself fall, he took flight and landed his katana sword, the guard on the thus, making his fall was slowed.

Then he put it by the sword, made ??a flying somersault and landed perfectly. "You little rat!" Shouted another, and ran up to him. But Rieder fought him off easy until he suddenly pierced by a sword from behind was. "Gotcha." Whispered the soldier and pulled his sword deep into him. Rieder wanted to stop the blade, but he was too weak, in the end he let his hand fall and did not move.

"Now we have you, boy." A guard said certain of victory, but then there was a small explosion and the body was a wooden post. Surprised the guards turned to the exit, stood in the Rieder with a new finger signs. "Wood veil." He ran, jumped up on the walls, through an open window on the wall.

Suddenly there were new guards on him, but he just jumped over them and kept running. At the end of the wall, he looked down, and the guards noticed the depth behind him. "Now we see you ....", but the guard started but Rieder jumped down easily. In flight, he was as fast as he could finger a new sign: "Water Pillow!"

The water enveloped him, was always more and more until he hit the ground and the water in all directions

distributed. And despite the amount of water remained his clothes dry. "That was close." He said, and immediately disappeared in the bushes, because the guards were already on his heels. When they were outside of his sight Rieder made ??his way to his customers.

Arrived at this he handed over the Rapier, accepted the payment and disappeared before they could thank him. "Where'd he go?" Asked the man who was holding the rapier in his hand. An hour later, Rieder sat on a rooftop, looking into the city and enjoyed the evening. Here he read a small book on whose cover was a white cat.

Then he heard a window opened. He looked down and saw a small cat, who stared at him puzzled, with its large eyes. "What are they doing here, mister?" He asked nervously. "Oh, uh ... I'm sitting here .... .... and enjoy the view from here ....," He replied, surprised. The boy looked at him further and asked him if he would go up to him.

"Do you at no compulsion.", He said only, therefore, the boy climbed out the window up at him. He wore a green pajamas, had brown hair and gray eyes. As she looked into the city asked the boy if he was in a clan. "I Am." He answered, pointing his arm splint. With wide eyes, the boy looked at the bracer.

"The is cool!" He almost shouted. Among his bandages Rieder smiled briefly, then asked the boy his name. "Leo. And what's your name? "He answered back. Rieder also introduced himself, then paused a moment before he got up and wanted to go again. Leo jumped up and held him against his sleeve. "You want to go again?", He asked him sadly.

"I must return to my clan." He answered shortly. Leo read bowed his head, but then he patted her head Rieder. "Perhaps we'll meet again.", He encouraged him. Smiling, he let go of the kittens, even said that he will be looking forward and said goodbye to him. Then jumped Rieder over the rooftops of the city to the train station, where he made ??it then just to jump on the last car pulled away before it then.

During the trip, he climbed into the car, noticed that there was a freight wagon, but that does not bother him. Instead, he lay down on a sack and then slowly fall asleep.

"What is it exactly that you wanted to show me?" Rain Rubino asked as they walked down a stairway. Rubino first remained silent until he replied: "Something quite extraordinary." His voice rises with the word "extraordinary" as if something special down there. Rain followed him impatient with the hand on the hilt of her sword that she always carried with him.

In the knowledge that they are always overwhelmed by her, but only smiled Rubino instead of preparing for such a situation accordingly. In the end, they stood before a large black door with a golden symbol on it. Look only through accurate Rain recognized that it was the sign of Rubinos clan, the clan "Shadow Heart".

"Shall we?" Rubino said look one last time before she urged him to open the door. He turned, put his hand against the door, whereupon it opened: the sign lit up and she slowly opened inward. What followed was a glimpse into a large room in which different blocks of high befanden.Langsam entered both the room that much more resembled a hall, while she walked him feel Rain is observed, as all eyes were round about them. Then, in the middle of the room, they stopped.

"May I introduce: Clan of the heart shadow," which announced Rubino As for the light. At that moment, were Fairy, Black, a man with short, spiky black hair, red eyes, a calm face, a black leather jacket without sleeves but with a to black at the knee-length skirt, black gloves, black pants and black boots.

"May I introduce. Storm," said Rubino before him. Storm looked down at Rain, a wry but not the face. Then she saw a man whose face, like that showed Storm no expression, had blue eyes and his hair was smooth and white, on the back of the head slightly jagged and red, he wore a white shirt over a blue robe and white trousers .

His shoes were ordinary boots. "Aqua.", He was introduced. Finally, a boy with brown hair, slightly whimsical face and a spade tattoo that was on his left eye. He wore a black shirt over a red sleeveless shirt, white tie and blue pants. While he sat there the whole time he played with cards, what Rain, when she enters a room which attracts attention surprised.

"Arcade." Rubino also asked the Member. In this room full of people felt themselves as the only Rain Sergalin very alone, but she did not understand why she was here. "Fairy, show our revered champion our newest member!" Said Rubino. Fairy shook his head and pressed a button, whereupon some of the ceiling came down.

Rain could not recognize it at first, but then realized clearly Daimo that Rubino did then, as if from nowhere with her. Around his neck was still the chain, but around him you could see something else, something nasty, downright frightening: a huge bat wrapped her wings around him, as if it were a cocoon.

"Ah, I see the Shinigami is awakened." Said Rubino fixed smile. "Shinigami? The angel of death .... but are not they? "Asked him Rain. Rubino was smiling now, but it was not a good smile, much more there was an evil smile with which he turned to her and replied: "Quite right, the rain up there at around Daimo is a shinigami .... or shall we say times rather Daimo is the Shinigami themselves

What you see here is a form of magic that only I know them properly. She has no name because there was nothing that could also describe this in the slightest. Instead, I simply explain it this way: as I have already said that Shinigami are nourished by the despair and sorrow in the heart of this fox. This makes it possible to Shinigami increasingly to free themselves from the chain, which lies around his neck, but since I need that fox even after this process I have decided to seal the chain so that if the shinigami with his meal to end it is transferring its entire force to make him Daimo and therefore invincible.

The result is a weapon, even before I am a little. "Exalted Rain looked up at the creature that once was just a normal fox. Surrounded by a red-shimmering aura he twitched a few times, which apparently had no meaning. "And what does this have to do with my war?" She asks skeptically Rubino. "Once the time has come to release him, we will attack and destroy the capital Herena, then you can talk to your troops to conquer the country and will rule over everything and everyone.

With this weapon, even the otherwise all-powerful judge would be defenseless against us. "Rubino said, and suddenly went up to Daimo. Standing before him he held his head up, looked at his face and smiled. "There will soon be ready. Then, this fox will destroy everything and everyone! "At first he just chuckled a little, but then broke out into laughter Rubino, worried what everyone in the room easily, except Rain.

But then his laughter stopped and asked if he expected her to demonstrate the power of their clans. "Approximately one hundred kilometers away from here lives a giant beast that no one could conquer yet. But I think we could do it. "He promised safe. Rain just thought that this would be the best opportunity to learn more about him and agreed to this.

"Well, Black, Storm comes with it." Rubino told. "And what about the rest of your clan?" Rain said angrily as she wanted to see all the members in action. "Aqua Fairy Arcade and remain here to ensure that Daimo does not break out here and puts everything into debris and ashes." Rubino said while the members selected by him came to him.

Black and Storm bowed just before rain, went past her and left the hall immediately. "We meet in an hour before the palace, Rain." Rubino said longingly, also left the hall. Furious about his behavior, she turned to face him, clenching his fists only, but then read this again below. Instead, they looked again to Daimo that hung almost lifeless down the ceiling.

Then she looked at the other three from Rubinos clan, while they found that only Fairy gave her attention while the other two do not view her tribute. But just as she was leaving the room wished her Fairy: "I hope you like the idea!" Silently, yet with a smile on her face, she left the room, and closed the door behind her.

An hour later they Rains coach willing to take Rubino and his companions. On the entire journey not a word was spoken until they reached their destination: a city of ruins. Grew out of the coach, the three clan members went before a piece was left behind while Rain. After just a few steps Rain asked her where was this beast now.

"You'll get to that." Rubino said while Rain noticed that he spoke of the majority than by an individual. Then came a short jingle that got louder with every time. Rain looked left and right to left, but there was nothing. "Up.", She pointed Storm, Rain looked up and saw three large, covered with rags figures.

Their bodies hung rusted chains that beat each other again. "Simple demons, boring." Storm said quietly. He looked to Rubino, who only nodded and he continued as the only art. Immediately directed the attention of the demons on him, she flew to him. Storm stopped the creatures only a few feet from him when he suddenly stretched out his left arm, clenched a fist and he was surrounded by several bladed weapons.

He immediately pulled his arm back on itself and then the swords like a tornado stormed around him. This impenetrable wall of spears, swords and other weapons around him and destroyed the first demon that came too close to this wall. In seconds, until the chains were, then the rags and tatters then the rest of his body.

Then he stretched both his arms are the weapons with this "command" followed and flowed in both directions. Then, as if he were swinging a whip, he moved his arms, followed the movements of these weapons and destroyed so the other two without the demons he had to touch it. The few crumbs that fell on the floor still looked almost like the falling leaves of a tree.

"What you see is Storm summoning weapons from another dimension, they do hold without using it in their hands and with them everything is destroyed in its vicinity." Said Rubino Rain, who was still stunned by this demonstration . Storm came back, looked at Rain, nodded slowly and walked back to the coach.

Now Black's turn: he went ahead without a word from him until a giant monster, called a behemoth piled. The Behemoth took the form of a giant, purple horned tiger that stood on two legs and looked up at Black down. Rain, who was not aware that such a monster would live in their country could not believe when they saw him.

Rubino did for the sight of the huge monster, the black faced to be nothing special. Instead, Black grabbed the hilt of his sword, which was attached to his back, drew it slowly and then held it before him. The Behemoth just ripped his mouth roared, loud, and it sparked a huge wave of sound that was heard miles away.

But White just stood there, looked up and asked, "Was that all?", He took his sword, sprang the behemoth leg, then on his arm and then on his shoulder. But the behemoth grabbed him, hugged him as hard as he could in his claws together and then threw him to the ground. He spat blood, was lying on the ground and breathed heavily.

The Behemoth lifted his foot and stepped on him. "How miserable, so you want your ...-", Rain began suddenly when a blade sank through the foot. Suddenly she cut up by the toes, pulled out the draw with three jumped up and walk through the Black. Stained with blood, he stood, the Behemoth cried out in pain, took some steps back as a black short-breathed.

"I will never forget this fact, so forgive me that I will not remember me of you when it's over." He apologized before he jumped up, grabbed the handle of the sword with both hands and with a blow through the neck the Behemoths, who was then a few seconds before the head fell slowly because of his body.

Black then fell down while it was seen as the sword flashed, recorded a dark cloud of black and then became normal again. "What has just happened?" Rain asked, puzzled. "Blacks sword with every enemy that it strikes down more as it soaks up the memory that Black had to this enemy within. Thus, every opponent, whom he compared to virtually his first opponent since he can not remember the previous one.

Moreover, the sword at the moment, at the Black for the first time in his hand all his memories wiped out up to this moment. Therefore, he has apologized to the behemoth before he killed him, because he at the same moment, as he has cut off his head had already forgotten everything. "Rubino told her.

"And what is so special to you, Rubino," Rain said it sobering. A short laugh escapes his mouth, turned up a huge Cross above them. "My skills are now ..... how should I explain it ..... different." Rubino said, looking up at the Griffin. This looked at him, wanted to rush straight at him, when suddenly Rubino stood before him.

? "When he is," said the Rain; Rubino had disappeared and reappeared as soon they did not even notice. Standing in front of the grip looked at these Rubino and his feathers were blowing in the wind, beating its wings incessantly and his claws were moving incessantly, as if he could not wait to ram it into his skin.

Rubino then opened his coat, be sure to drop this and this broke up in a blue-black fire. But the butterflies that were mapped on him rose up and clung to Rubinos body. Then he closed his eyes, his whole body lit up in blue butterflies fluttered wildly with his wings and became to a new guise: A long, night-black suit covered his body, collar open, his hair stood on end, at the hip hung the scabbard of a sword which he drew immediately.

The grip was as white as newly fallen snow was pitch black, like the sword, but immediately after she left scabbard. Then, without a second has been passed the gripping torn in two during Rubino stood behind him. After that, his clothes changed back into what it was before and he landed back on the floor.

The two halves of the hook fell to the ground, the blood rained only seconds later and was on the floor of a mid-sized pool, standing in the rain. As Rubino then went back to the coach, he still said to Rain ". My ability is subject to all you tear into pieces" Rain looked at him while his back was developed in the previous appearance.

"Then I will probably not destroyed by it are not you?" She asked him again. Rubino laughed. "We both have seemingly different conception of power, Rain." With these words he climbed into the carriage and drove away with her. Remained Rain, whose scowled.

"Man." She said simply, and followed the carriage.
