| The Grave of Xilot | |||||
| The next day it was raining very hard over Solomon Island. The house had been reduced to a pile of lumber after the wind from last night�s storm. Kynoto had taken the liberty of making a coffin for there fallen friend while Triasha, Knifes, and Rouin lounged about either looking out for the creatures that had killed there creator, or watching Kynoto make the coffin. The coffin was made from the wood of the Duran, and the scarce island wood that had been used to complete holes that were in the cabins design. The metal that had been salvaged from the Durans� wreaks and Kynoto was using a fire to bend the pieces of iron into the shapes that he wanted to use in the coffins design. Once the coffin was finished they put Xilot in to it and began the ceremonies that were used when a pirate�s captain had died in battle on in some sort of accident. They said a few choice words about him and they took the coffin and through it into the water. Kynoto uttered, �May he find peace down in Davey Jones� locker, and may God have mercy on his soul for the slaughter he caused.�
The day after the set out to look for this Fleture fellow. They decided to look around the island first, since that would be a logical choice to start since they were already there. They took extra heed to the Monolithius as hey traveled, having experienced their deadliness first hand. They had covered the whole island except for one spot where the Monolithius infestation was the densest. They decided that if the guy was on this island that he would be there. They prepared to go into the area later that day. They were so busy getting ready that they had neglected to watch Knifes and his ever-growing power. They eventually set out for the place of the infestation to find Fletcher and to carry out command, �Kill the Monolithius for me. Goodbye old friend.� They now knew what must be done, but what they saw when they got there completely caught them off guard. They as well as the obsidian monsters had taken notice of the newly found creatures. The obsidian monsters however had taken a liking to them. They would eat them and become infused with there power. Some had even evolved into hideous monsters of every shape and size. Some had fangs, others had very long legs, and the rest had other features of the Monolithius. They all had something in common though. They all were shaped like the Obsidian Monsters. Kynoto, Triasha, and Rouin began to kill the Monolithius. They found something that the Obsidian Monsters had in common with these creatures. They both had Trianchu stones in them, so when they killed the hybrids they noticed that they got 2 Trianchu stones in stead of one. When they had the last of the dispatched the last of the hybrids, there was complete silence. Not a bird or animal was making any noise. They Kynoto sensed something. Off in the distance he could fell a strange yet familiar presence. He did not know what this meant. Then it occurred to him that Knives was not around the area. �Was anyone watching Knifes?� Kynoto asked the rest of the group. Triasha and Rouin answered, �No we weren�t. We thought that you were?!� �I was until we started to fight. Then I sort of lost track of time.� Kynoto responded, his voice quaking with the fear of what could happen if they didn�t find Knifes soon. |
