The Shadow Stalker

Somewhere in the Forest...

Persefoni: hold on Seth, we're almost in the cave!

Persefoni is trying to pull Seth in a crave to tend his wounds, however, Seth might not be able to live due to too much blood loss. After an hour later they finally found a cave. Persefoni and Seth are currently resting in that place. But they did not expect a Shadow Stalker.

Persefoni already sensed him right after they were gonna rest.

Persefoni thinks she can take on the little shadow Stalker. But he is too fast.

Persefoni: COME HERE YOU LITTLE BRAT!

Shadow Stalker:...

The shadow Stalker is attacking Persefoni furiously. But Persefoni manages to block a few hits from him. Though she cannot run or jump since her leg is still injured. Since Persefoni's a kid her healing rate is slow. Though it will take a full day to regenerate a limb.

The shadow Stalker keeps on jumping around to hurt Persefoni. Little did he know Persefoni is just waiting... For a chance...

To Counter!

Persefoni grabs the Shadow Stalker's tail.

The Shadow Stalker Smirked because his tail is very poisonous.

But he did not know Persefoni is immune to poison.

Then Persefoni slammed the Shadow Stalker into the ground! The shadow Stalker was stunned for a while.

But enough time for Persefoni to steal the Dagger and wound his legs. The shadow Stalker's legs are now in a condition that he can't run or jump anymore.

Persefoni: enough games! Tell me who you are and why are you targeting us?!

Shadow Stalker: ...

Persefoni: you won't talk huh? I see.

Persefoni broke the Dagger until it looked like it has no use anymore. The Shadow Stalker shrieks.

Shadow Stalker: NNNNNOOOO!! MY PRECIOUS DAGGER! ANYTHING BUT MY PRECIOUS DAGGER!!!

Persefoni: *he likes this Dagger?! But it looks old and worn out...* I'll give your Dagger back. IF you tell me WHO you are!

Shadow Stalker: MY NAME IS AKUMA AND I ONLY TRY TO GET FOOD! BUT I JUST PANICKED AND ATTACK I'M SORRY! PLEASE JUST GIVE ME BACK MY DAGGER!!

Persefoni: alright jeez why do you even want this worn-off Dagger?

Akuma: Because someone precious gave that to me!

Persefoni: I see... *welp I kinda understand why but the real question is... What is he...? He's dark in color... And a tail with poison stingers... Hmm... I think his... No. This has to wait! Seth is about to die! But I have to make sure he's not going to attack us again!*

How am I sure that you're NOT gonna attack us again?

Akuma: you have my word on that since you have bested in even with a broken leg. Just please don't kill me!

Persefoni: fine I won't. Just don't try to kill us!

Akuma: I won't!

Persefoni: if you would excuse me I have to save his life!

Akuma: I know a herb. That might save his life... Although...

Persefoni: although..?

Akuma: it needs some of the blood of the one who needs to heal him. This is very effective and guaranteed that this herb can save his life.

Persefoni: how did you know this..?

Akuma: my mum did the same to me... I was supposed to die very early... But she saved me with this method. You just need your blood to fuse your blood through his veins. That way the herb would be more effective.

Persefoni: how would I know you're not lying?

Akuma: if you really want him to live. Then trust me. What I've done a while ago was out of confusion and I panicked

Persefoni: all right... I trust you... But if I do this... He'll be my brother... Right..?

Akuma: yes. Hell be your half brother.

Persefoni: welp. Here goes nothing.

Persefoni infused her blood with Seth's blood in his veins. Then Persefoni applies the herb to him. Both of them were surprised. Why? Not only the herb did work, Seth's hair change into half silver and half blonde. Then Seth's right pupil turned blood red. But they of course could not see the eyes.

Persefoni did not expect that the herb would be this effective. But Seth is still unconscious.

Persefoni waited for him to be awake. She told Akuma he can go, but Akuma just stayed. Because he was impressed that Persefoni could catch him with her own bare hands.

And so Akuma and Persefoni are waiting, waiting for Seth's revival.
